"Mother, everything has been prepared."

With her slender hands, she slowly placed the brush full of ink on the pen mountain. She was wearing a bright yellow embroidered phoenix robe, and on top of her dark temples was a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, which was very luxurious.

So luxurious, but it can't suppress the fairy spirit in the woman at all. Although the wealth in this world is added to her, it seems that it has not stained her at all. It makes people completely forget her noble status, but becomes obsessed with it.

I felt a sense of inferiority in front of her from the bottom of my heart!

Just like a hibiscus flower growing out of the mud, it makes people feel ashamed.

But this woman did not look arrogant at all. On the contrary, she smiled and nodded very kindly: "After packing it up, send it over quickly. Look, it's almost time. I will go to invite Your Majesty now. You guys are early."

Get ready for the ride."

"yes."

The maid responded and hurriedly walked back. The woman just put the official documents on the table aside, but she frowned slightly and couldn't help coughing twice.

"Empress......"

Zijuan, who was dressed in palace clothes at the side, stepped forward and handed her the tea cup in her hand. Daiyu glanced at Zijuan with a smile, shook her head and said: "It's been cold in the past two days. I didn't pay attention for a while, so I got a little dyed."

If you have a cough, just use some autumn pears. Don't say too much to Your Majesty. The state affairs are heavy now, so I don't want to bother Your Majesty with my trivial matters."

Zijuan opened her mouth when she heard this, and Daiyu glanced at her, then honestly pursed her lips: "Yes..."

Daiyu drank some tea and felt that she had suppressed her coughing. Then she stood up and asked, "Where is your Majesty now?"

Zijuan quickly replied: "Qingfeng ordered someone to come here just now. His Highness is currently handling government affairs in Qianqing Palace. Please take all the ladies from the East Palace to go first."

When Daiyu heard this, she stopped the tea cup in her hand, thought for a while and said to Zijuan: "It's still inappropriate. How can we not follow His Majesty and instead ask Your Majesty to chase us?"

After saying that, Daiyu stood up and said: "Go and pass the message below and ask me how the Codonopsis pilosula, wolfberry and snow pear soup prepared by the Shangshan Bureau was going? Okay, I ordered someone to send it to Ning'an Palace."

Daiyu now lives in Ning'an Palace in the East Sixth Palace, while Ren Suxuan lives in Yanxi Palace in the West Sixth Palace. Neither of them wants to live in Kunning Palace, but Kunning Palace was put on hold for a while.

Only when Li Jing got up and wanted to live in Kunning Palace, he would call the queen to sleep with him. Normally, it would be left vacant.

This actually made Li Jing relieved. Although both of them were very humble to each other, in the final analysis, women are like this. I can give it but you can't give it...

If Li Jing decides who should live in Kunning Palace, both parties will definitely be dissatisfied. Although they won't show it on the surface, they will definitely be very sad in their hearts!

After all, there is only one Kunning Palace, and he has two wives...

So this actually left some room for Li Jing! When he wanted to spend time with the two of them, he just had to show up at Kunning Palace, and then asked Qingfeng to let the news out. Whichever of the two was free would naturally come to sleep with him!

This has almost become a tacit unspoken rule between the three people. Of course, there are times when there is a collision, for example, two people happen to be free or they both happen to miss Li Jing... Then Li Jing will naturally be advantaged!

After being embarrassed for a while or two, we gradually got used to it, and our relationship even seemed to have improved a lot!

So the Kunning Palace, which was just a good place, has almost become the Jiaotai Palace. It’s springtime at night and the flowers are blooming, but there’s no one there on weekdays!

Daiyu is used to living in Ning'an Palace, and she also likes this name. Li Jing's title before she became successful was Ning. Living here seems to have some special meaning, which can make her feel at ease!

Fortunately, the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace are not far from the Qianqing Palace, so Daiyu went out, got on the phoenix chariot, and soon arrived outside the Qianqing Palace.

After waving her hand to indicate to the palace maids and eunuchs that there was no need to report, Daiyu quietly walked in alone with her medicinal meal...

"A bunch of rubbish! Trash!"

Daiyu slowly stood at the door while the smoke wave was flowing, and listened slightly, when Li Jing's furious roar came from inside: "Incompetent idiot! Get out! Let them get out of here!"

At this time, Li Jing angrily threw the memorial in his hand to the ground. The maids and eunuchs around him were so frightened that they knelt down in a hurry and did not dare to breathe.

Li Jing seemed to be furious. She was pacing back and forth in front of the imperial court, with her hands on her hips looking very anxious: "Pass to the Jin Yiwei, pass to the Jin Yiwei!"

Qingfeng hurriedly lowered his head slightly, and Li Jing gritted his teeth: "Give it to this gang, the rebellious officials and thieves, and that gang of incompetent idiots... chop them all down! Cut them off!!!"

"I obey the decree!"

As Qingfeng spoke, he was about to walk backwards and leave without saying a single word from beginning to end! Even though he knew that the people he wanted to kill were all great "big shots"!

"return!"

Li Jing seemed to have finally found some calmness from his rage. He touched the Yi Shanguan on his forehead, and seemed to be constantly at war with his own heavenly beings: "It is said that the scholar Ning Zhi, Chen Xing, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Jiang Kuang, Shangshu Tan Gang of the Ministry of Punishment asked them to enter the palace immediately!"

After saying that, Li Jing stood in front of the imperial case again, looking down at the memorial on the imperial case, her chest was still rising and falling violently: "These... rebellious ministers!"

Li Jing gritted his teeth and put his hands on the table: "Yangzhou's salt tax last year was as high as four million taels of silver, but this year it is only less than three hundred thousand taels. What are you telling me? What kind of bullshit salt policy has just been implemented? Merchants were at a loss, the salt industry plummeted, and I was as bad as your mother!"

"These bastards are treating me like a fool! Yan Xi and his son sent one million taels of silver to the inner treasury, but they ended up plundering a total of five million taels of silver in Yangzhou! They only rewarded me with one million taels. How could it be that they only rewarded me with one million taels of silver? I still have to be grateful to them! It’s all my money! My money!”

Li Jing violently swept everything on the imperial desk to the ground, and then slumped down on the dragon chair and sulked.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, Daiyu slowly walked in. Upon seeing this, the palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly greeted Daiyu as if they had been pardoned: "Empress.

"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Daiyu also smiled slightly and nodded to them: "Let's all go down first."

"yes."

Li Jing sat on the dragon chair with a sullen face and watched Daiyu step forward, put the soup bowl in her hand on the table beside her, and pressed her temples: "Zi'er, when did you come?"

Daiyu smiled and put the soup in front of Li Jing: "From the moment you want to ask the Jin Yiwei to kill people."

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, shook his head and sighed: "The salt merchants in Yangzhou must have got some news about the external affairs. They know that I don't have time to deal with them now, so they have something else to say."

Such thoughts."

Yangzhou Yanzheng Li Jing had already dealt with it very clearly before he left, but unfortunately, Li Jing had been busy dealing with matters in Shenjing since he came back. In addition, the entire Yan Dynasty was immersed in the turmoil of the coup.

, so it is true that Jiangnan's control was neglected.

After all, Jiangnan is still too far away from the sacred capital, and I still think of things too simply. When Jiangnan is rich, people will change their minds, become arrogant and ignorant, and do not know the power of the emperor, but I am beyond the reach of this and can do nothing!

We can only know that there is something fishy, ​​but we can still watch helplessly as the government and businessmen collude to steal most of the salt tax!

In fact, this tax amount is definitely not too small for other ordinary emperors. Even most court officials don't think there is anything wrong with this tax amount, but Li Jing knows that it is far from enough!

If the Jiangnan salt tax had only been this small, then the whole country would have been starved to death!

Li Jing couldn't help but sigh deeply when she thought of this, and lamented with some worry: "People's hearts are not as old as they used to be!"

Daiyu knew that he was deliberately teasing her, so she smiled, scooped up the medicinal meal and blew it gently: "I am humble, although I don't know how to govern the country, I just have the courage to share my worries. To use a woman's knowledge, I can't use it skillfully. In exchange for

Just drop it, wouldn't it be better than worrying here?"

Li Jing shook his head: "It's not that easy... I know that Yan Xi and his son are greedy and despicable, but they do not give up their talents. When it comes to talking about it, they can still be regarded as capable ministers. Therefore, there are many criticisms from the government and the public. I still try to reject all opinions.

It is nothing more than his ability to amass wealth. It is not easy to find someone in the government and the public who can do so much to attract wealth for the country and the court..."

Li Jing said, frowning tightly: "It's just that what he did was indeed a bit too much. He is so greedy and cowardly, useless, useless!"

If you want to develop, you must tolerate the officials below to amass wealth. Under the social conditions of the feudal system, the prerequisite for enriching the people can only be rich officials and rich gentry!

They don't have enough to eat, and they only plunder the people even more violently!

Therefore, if the national treasury is to be full and the world is to be prosperous, some dregs must be tolerated. This is inevitable. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Li Jing understands!

But Yan Xi has exceeded what Li Jing can tolerate! You can eat meat, but you must eat it before I have eaten and drank enough. If I tell you to eat it, you can eat it!

As a result, now you eat meat and I drink soup! You still coax me, as if giving alms! In the end, are you the emperor, or am I the emperor?

When Li Jing just closed her eyes to rest, murderous intent arose in her heart more than once!

It's just that Yan Xi is a talent, but Li Jing can't bear to kill him. If he kills him, where can he find such a capable minister who wants money and has no shame?

There are many capable ministers, and there are more loyal ministers, but shameless capable ministers and loyal ministers are hard to find!

Daiyu seemed to notice Li Jing's hesitation, so she tentatively whispered: "Why don't you ask daddy to go back to Yangzhou?"

Li Jing was startled, then glanced at Daiyu, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My father-in-law is already nearly 70 years old, and the queen really makes the best use of everything..."

Daiyu's face was slightly red, knowing that Li Jing was teasing her for being an extroverted girl. She made her nearly seventy-year-old father travel thousands of miles for her husband's affairs...

If Lin Ruhai found out, he would probably faint in the toilet from tears...

The old man is almost seventy. He just retired last year and is finally getting better. He spends his days reading and raising flowers. Occasionally, he discusses classics with a few old friends and juniors. You even bother him to go to Yangzhou.

………

This trip to Yangzhou is bound to be bloody. Lin Ruhai's body is so fragile that even Li Jing can't bear it. Of course, Daiyu was actually just impulsive and regretted it after she finished speaking...

Just looking at Li Jing's silly and happy look, Daiyu couldn't help but angrily patted Li Jing on the shoulder: "You still said that!"

If I hadn't seen you worried like this, why would I have said such a thing?

Li Jing spread his hands innocently, and then he could only stand up helplessly and said: "That's it, I don't think about this anymore, I only get upset when I think about it!"

Li Jing actually had a plan in mind. Since the people in the south of the Yangtze River did not know the power of heaven, and the sky was high and the emperor was far away, it would be simple. If the mountain does not come towards me, I would just walk towards the mountain!

I heard that people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang don’t know the cold, so I should show them what the cold wind in the north is like!

Daiyu and Li Jing have been married for so many years. How could they not know Li Jing's thoughts? Knowing that Li Jing had already made up his mind, he stopped mentioning it immediately and said to Li Jing with a smile: "That's good, my concubine."

I came here to invite His Majesty to a banquet."

"Going to a banquet?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sunset on the horizon, which illuminated the hall in all its splendor, and couldn't help but patted his forehead: "I'm so busy that my mind is in a mess!"

Then he stepped forward and looked at Daiyu with a smile, and stretched out his hand. Daiyu also smiled and handed her little hand to Li Jing. Li Jing smiled and sighed, and gently stroked Daiyu's little hand:

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival again..."
