When she heard that His Majesty asked about Ningzhou in front of her, the imperial concubine looked a little strange.
I don't know if His Majesty did it deliberately, but he really didn't care.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. The young master and Commander Mo should be reunited in a few days. Ningzhou will be pacified in a matter of seconds. There should be news within a day." Wang Feng made an estimate and replied.
As the internal supervisor around the emperor, Wang Feng needed to know all the big and small matters in the court so that he could deal with them.
"Everyone knows Prince Ning's intentions," Xiao Pingsi sneered, "But Ningzhou Futai and Ningzhou Xuanjian Division have not submitted any memorials, haha..."
Wang Feng shuddered secretly.
He knows His Majesty best. Once Your Majesty smiles like this, someone will be in trouble.
"Your Majesty, there is no news from the Yushitai." Wang Feng reminded.
Xiao Pingsi's face showed a cold look: "I forgot that there is a Yushitai."
Several people in the hall were as silent as cicadas.
"When Qin Shiyi was away from the capital, the Yushitai was very clean. Could it be that in such a big Yushitai, only one Qin Shiyi could do anything?"
Xiao Pingsi wanted to curse, but suddenly realized that King Yong'an was still there, so he had to take a deep breath to suppress his anger.
"Your Majesty, speaking of Mr. Qin, he can be said to be... in Ganzhou..." Wang Feng didn't finish his words, wanting to see how the emperor would react.
"When something happened in Ganzhou, many people in the capital came forward to impeach Qin Shiyi. The number of memorials to impeach Qin Shiyi has exceeded fifty this month!"
Qin Shiyi held the Emperor's Sword and massacred everyone in Ganzhou. Of course Xiao Pingsi knew about it.
This was originally his order, which was to attack Ganzhou, lest all the officials in the world really think that he, a benevolent king, was weak and could be bullied.
"It really showed me what it is like for officials to protect each other." Xiao Ping felt angry, but when he thought of those things, he felt that there was anger in his heart that was difficult to express.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although Master Qin is cruel and fierce, his actions in Ganzhou have made him deeply loved by the people. Everyone in the world is praising your Majesty for his good use of people."
Wang Feng understood the emperor best, and he knew what kind of words could comfort him.
Sure enough, Xiao Pingsi felt relieved after hearing this.
"I heard that Qin Shiyi went to Suzhou again?" Xiao Pingsi sneered, a little gloating, "It seems that after the disaster relief in Suzhou, after the young master and He Feng left one after another, some people became bolder and actually took Qin Shiyi.
They've all been lured away."
"Your Majesty, it is indeed true. Mr. Qin reported that there was a case in Ganzhou involving officials from Suzhou, so I went to take a look..." Wang Feng teased.
The imperial concubine did not dare to answer, but she pricked up her ears and heard everything clearly. She no longer had the intention to instruct King Yong'an to write.
"Involving Suzhou officials?" Xiao Pingsi folded his hands and rolled his eyes at Wang Feng, "Then Qin Shiyi wants to find an excuse, but he doesn't know how to find a good one."
Wang Feng smiled awkwardly: "Haha..."
Of course Wang Feng understood that Qin Shiyi went to Suzhou for the purpose of cleaning up and providing disaster relief, and had nothing to do with Suzhou officials.
Because the high-ranking officials in Suzhou had long since been martyred after the Beiliang army broke into the city, there were no officials left who could handle the major cases in Ganzhou.
Qin Shiyi had no authority and went straight to Suzhou. In order to intervene in Suzhou's disaster relief, of course he had to find an excuse.
Everyone can see this, but no one can reveal it.
"Humph, let's see how many officials will die in Suzhou." Xiao Pingsi said with great anticipation.
Wang Feng secretly changed his mind and realized that this was also His Majesty's tacit approval. His Majesty even wanted to take the opportunity to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Xiao Pingsi looked at the imperial concubine:
"These officials embezzle more than half of the money and food provided for disaster relief every year. They should be killed!"
The imperial concubine's pupils were shaking. She quickly turned her eyes away and stared at King Yong'an's scroll, not daring to move even an inch.
Seeing that the imperial concubine didn't answer anything, Xiao Pingsi looked at Wang Feng again:
"On the Suzhou side, unlike Ganzhou, the commander-in-chief of the Ganzhou camp, Zhou Desheng, still has a bottom line. There is no one in the Suzhou camp, and Cai Yan, the inspection censor, cannot fully support Qin Shiyi."
"I'm afraid that something will happen to Qin Shiyi. He is a sharp knife and cannot be broken in Suzhou. I sent an order to Ganzhou Camp and Beidu Camp to pay attention to changes in Suzhou." Xiao Pingsi ordered.
Wang Feng bowed: "I obey the order."
After receiving the order, I went down to summon him.
Seeing that Wang Feng was gone, Xiao Pingsi returned his gaze to the imperial concubine's face.
The imperial concubine stared at King Yong'an's scroll, as if she didn't feel the blazing gaze.
But Xiao Pingsi did not restrain himself. Instead, he stared more carefully with his very special gaze, clearly seeing all the hair on the imperial concubine's face.
"Your Majesty?..." The imperial concubine could no longer pretend to ignore it, so she had to look over cautiously.
Seeing His Majesty's playful expression, the imperial concubine blushed and whispered: "Is this my concubine asking someone to take the emperor back to the palace?"
"Yeah." Xiao Pingsi nodded.
So, the imperial concubine patted King Yong'an's forehead, and King Yong'an stopped writing and looked at his father and mother.
Then he stood up together with his mother: "Father, Yuan Sen excuses himself."
"His Majesty……"
Just when Xiao Pingsi was about to nod, the internal supervisor on duty outside the door said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao Chaoguo, the head of the Hanging Sword Division, would like to see you."
"Xiao Chaoguo?"
Hearing this, Xiao Pingsi lost all interest. Every time this leader came, nothing good happened.
The imperial concubine's eyes were very good, and she immediately said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, that concubine has also resigned."
"Concubine, please return to the palace first." Xiao Pingsi sighed. The good news is not a secret, but the affairs of the Xuanjian Division are still not suitable for people in the harem to hear.
The imperial concubine is knowledgeable and Xiao Pingsi is also very satisfied.
"Let Xiao Chaoguo come in."
"Xuan Xiao's first seat."
Xiao Chaoguo was a tall man. He came in and bumped into the imperial concubine and her son. He immediately bowed and held his hands: "I have met the imperial concubine, and I have met His Highness Prince Yong'an."
"Master Xiao, that's so polite." The imperial concubine took Prince Yong'an with her, nodded slightly, and left in a gentle tone.
Xiao Chaoguo watched off and waited until the mother and son left the palace, then turned to look at His Majesty, who was sitting by the brazier warming himself.
His Majesty looked unhappy.
I haven't reported it yet, so how can I offend His Majesty?
Xiao Chaoguo was puzzled, but he still had to report it after he came.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Chaoguo, pays homage to Your Majesty." Xiao Chaoguo walked up to the emperor and bowed down.
He grabbed the ground with his head and made a noise.
"Um?"
Xiao Pingsi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why did Xiao Qing do this great gift?"
The emperor did not receive the kneeling ceremony every day, so the harem only performed this grand ceremony, and the civil and military officials did not need to perform such a humble ceremony.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty and I am here to apologize!" Xiao Chaoguo knelt and did not raise his head for a long time.
Xiao Pingsi raised his hand and said: "Get up."
"I don't dare." Xiao Chaoguo knew that his attitude must be correct so that His Majesty would not be too harsh when dealing with him.
The law pays attention to right and wrong, and the human heart has its own warmth and coldness.
Xiao Pingsi rolled his eyes and said, "It's too cold in this winter. I'm too lazy to stretch out my hand to help you. If you don't get up, I'll kneel down all night."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing His Majesty's joking words, Xiao Chaoguo stood up immediately, feeling secretly happy in his heart.
It seems that His Majesty is actually in a good mood, and today should not be too miserable.
Seeing Xiao Chaoguo getting up, but still bending over, which was different from his usual self-confidence, Xiao Ping smiled:
"It seems something has really happened. You and I have known each other since childhood, and we have had a good relationship over the years. What happened to make you so panicked?"
Xiao Chaoguo understood the emperor, and the emperor also understood Xiao Chaoguo.
The relationship between the two is not an ordinary relationship between a monarch and a minister. They have known each other since childhood and have supported each other since they were young. Over the years, it has become more than an ordinary relationship between a monarch and a minister.
This is also the reason why Xiao Pingsi can trust Xiao Chaoguo so much and leave the entire Xuanjian Division in his hands.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty, please give your Majesty the opportunity to read it." Xiao Chaoguo said, raising his hands and presenting a memorial.
Xiao Pingsi took one look at it and immediately narrowed his eyes, feeling that the matter was serious.
Because this memorial is so thick that it is comparable to a book.
"Why is it so thick?" Xiao Pingsi took it and didn't even open it. He didn't even want to look at it. It was too thick.
Whoever dares to write such a thick memorial would have already ordered the cabinet to issue instructions and let the parties involved copy it a hundred times.
The memorial should be concise, using the simplest words to explain clearly what is to be reported.
Anyone can write tens of thousands of words. Does the emperor want to do anything else? He is exhausted just reading the memorial every day.
"Pah——"
Xiao Pingsi simply threw the memorial away and placed it on the imperial desk. He rolled his eyes and said, "I'm too lazy to read it. You can tell it yourself."
Hearing this, Xiao Chaoguo suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and felt a slight pain.
Your Majesty, I have been immersed in writing all night, and you haven’t read a single word?
If I had known earlier, I might as well have come empty-handed! This chapter has been completed!
