Chapter 293 Little Things

Imperial study room.

The emperor sat on the chair with anger and looked at Ji Tai with a bad look.

"If you can't tell me a reason so early, I can't spare you!"

Ji Tai, who had been waiting for half an hour, bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, a big deal! A big deal!"

"Speak and listen."

"Your Majesty, the old minister just received the news that the tax grain transported from Jiangnan Province to Kyoto..."

The emperor's body suddenly sat upright, and his eyes no longer had the hazyness he had just now, and suddenly became sharp.

"You won't tell me that I've been robbed again, are you?"

"I remember that at that grand dynasty meeting, didn't you say that there were peace in Ningguo, and there were few bandits and every village was closed at night?"

Ji Tai choked, paused for three breaths, and quickly bowed and said:

"Emperor, the old minister has not expected the bandits to be so bold!"

Ning Huang raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly glared, and his voice suddenly became majestic:

"So, the tax grain was really robbed by the bandits?"

"Back to the emperor... it's exactly!"

Emperor Ning was silent for a long time, shook his head and smiled suddenly: "Last year, the tax grain in Jiangnan was lost, how did you deal with it?"

"Return to the emperor, the old minister originally asked the Ministry of War to send Guangling Naval Commander to Shuangjiao Lake to suppress the bandits. Yes... But the Minister of War Han Yue said that Guangling Naval Commander has now been dead in name only. Even if he is sent, he will only die more people.

Forget it."

"Besides, the Guangling Navy also went to Shuangjiao Lake to suppress the bandits, but they all returned in vain. So the old minister thought about it and waited for the country to be strong and wait until the navy was strong again before suppressing the bandits.

Something.”

"In order to make up for the loss of tax grain in Jiangnan last year, the old ministers ordered the provinces to increase taxes by 20%, but they never expected that something happened again..."

"emperor,"

Ji Tai bowed and bowed: "The place in the Imperial City Department is not under the jurisdiction of the old minister, but the Imperial City Department's responsibility was originally to spy on intelligence and suppress the bandits... This happened in broad daylight, and the Imperial City Department was unaware of it.

!”

"The old minister dare not tell me that Lord Changsun is right or wrong, but this matter is very important and cannot be achieved by the old minister... Did the emperor ask the Imperial City Office to handle this shocking case? If it can be recovered, the concerns of the emptiness of the national treasury can be resolved.

!”

Emperor Ning pondered for a few breaths and ordered Eunuch Chang who was serving aside: "Go and call Changsun Jinghong to me!"

"Slaves obey the order!"

Eunuch Chang turned around and was about to leave, and then Ning Emperor said another sentence: "Call Li Chen'an together!"

Eunuch Chang responded and bowed to leave the imperial study room.

Emperor Ning didn't ask Ji Tai any more. He sat in front of the dragon's desk, rubbed his temples, and picked up a stack of paper placed next to him.

These are the sixteen poems from Li Chen'an at the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Conference.

He repeated these sixteen poems and his mood seemed to have improved a little.

"In three days, I will go back to Changle Palace."

Ji Tai was delighted, but his face was shocked:

"Your Majesty, you can't leave now!"

Emperor Ning placed the stack of paper next to him again, "I am not far from Queen Lu's sacrifice sun, I want to prepare."

"As for this matter in the court, you must pay attention to it."

"The president Sun Jinghong and Chen'an are here... I know that there are some festivals between you. They are all my ministers and they all serve the country of Daning. What is the personal grudge?"

"Let them all go!"

"Let me be more idle, spend more time on national affairs and make the people live a better life."

Ji Tai bowed again and said, "The old minister remembers what the emperor said... In the past, there were indeed some misunderstandings with Lord Xiao Li. Another day, the old minister would hold a banquet to invite Lord Xiao Li, hoping to resolve his past grudges and serve the emperor together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Zuoqing hurried in.

"Emperor... Something happened to the Imperial City Department, and Lord Changsun and Lord Xiao Li are not there."

Emperor Ning frowned and felt unhappy again, "What happened to the Imperial City Department?"

"Go back to the emperor, I heard that an old man died."

“…It’s just such a small thing?”

"Your Majesty, this seems not a trivial matter, because not only Lord Changsun and Lord Xiao Li went, but almost all the people in the Imperial City Division went... to see the old man off."

Ji Tai was shocked. He had never expected that the Imperial City Department would attach so much importance to the old man named Miao Qiu Equinox.

Then he thought, the guy was lurking by his side over the years and was sending a lot of information to the Imperial City Department. Fortunately, he was pulled out by Xi Wei.

He deserves to die!

Imperial City Department is a loser if you steal chickens, let them cry!

So he felt happy, but unexpectedly, Eunuch Chang showed his expression of wanting to speak but stopping.

The emperor was also stunned at this time, "Have you gone to the chief and deputy chief? Where have you gone?"

"Go back to the emperor, I just learned the news."

"Say, Lord Xiao Li left the Imperial City Division first with the funeral team..."

Eunuch Chang glanced at Ji Tai again. When Ji Tai saw Eunuch Chang's strange eyes this time, his heart suddenly jumped, and then he heard Eunuch Chang say:

"When I passed by Changyue Alley, Lord Xiao Li was in the team and stayed at the gate of the prime minister's mansion for a while."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Why is the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Ji Taihu's eyelids hopped, and a bad premonition arose. His old eyes widened and towards Eunuch Chang.

"Mr. Li Xiao Li killed his subordinates to smash the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion... In addition, Mr. Li also threw two jars, that is, the fireworks that blew up the Yulong Club on the Mid-Autumn Festival... into the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Ji Tai's face suddenly turned pale and then turned red!

The prince was also shocked when he heard this.

Although he didn't know what it was, he also heard that it was powerful.

On Mid-Autumn Festival night, Li Chenan used this thing to break the defense of the Yulong Association headquarters, blew up the wall of the second prince's palace, and blew up the study room of the Ji Tai Prime Minister's Mansion.

“…this matter…”

Emperor Ning turned to Ji Tai, "Chen'an was young and had been in the small place of Guangling City in the past. Although his poems and articles were very good, he was still a little lazy when doing things."

"This is also a teenager's character after all."

"As the prime minister of a country, you don't have to worry about him... Why did he chop your door and blow your yard?"

Ji Tai's murderous heart had already aroused, but at this moment he could only hold it in his heart.

He bowed and bowed: "Go back to the emperor, the old minister still doesn't know the reason!"

"The emperor is right. Old minister is at this age, of course he can't be angry with Lord Xiao Li."

"Isn't it just that some houses were blown up and the doors of the Prime Minister's Mansion were demolished?"

"After going to court, the old minister went to ask the craftsman to repair it again, and it would be fine."

"That's the old minister's family, it doesn't matter. What's important is our Ningguo, the master!"

"The barbarians in the Western Regions have already had abnormal movements. The western border troops are short of food and grass. The old minister thinks that investigating the Shuangjiao Lake bandits is the biggest thing now!"

Emperor Ning touched his short beard, "Well, this statement makes sense!"

“Eunuch An,”

"The slave is here!"

"Where did Chen'an and Changsun Jinghong go? Take them to the imperial study room, I... ask them how to do this!"
