Chapter 240 Who dares to say you are a corrupt official? I will chop off his head
Those who know me may say that I am kind and righteous, but those who don't may think that I am a corrupt official, otherwise where would I get so much food? Uncle Huang, don't you think so? "
The emperor slammed the table and said, "If he dares, I will chop off his head if he dares to say you are a corrupt official."
After the emperor finished speaking, he stared fiercely at the ministers in the court.
Everyone shrank back under the emperor's gaze.
Then the emperor's voice sounded again: "You can say that anyone is a corrupt official, but you can't say that the princess is a corrupt official.
The young princess was wholeheartedly thinking about the people. She would rather use her own food and money to repair houses and provide food relief to the people in the disaster area.
I'll be frank with you first. If anyone dares to spread bad things about the little princess, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship."
The Duke said: "Because the little princess is too young, the emperor has not yet handed over the ownership of the fief to the little princess, so the little princess has nothing else except the monthly salary.
The reason why there is so much grain and money is that they are all earned little by little by running their own workshops and shops.
All the money they earned with hard work is used to subsidize the people. Don’t let those who care about the people feel disappointed! "
Su Muyao put her hands behind her back and asked the emperor: "Uncle Emperor, you see, the grain problem has been solved, but how do we deal with these damn merchants?"
Lord Xu, who had originally felt relieved, became worried again because the number one merchant in the capital belonged to his wife's family.
The Prime Minister cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this treacherous businessman must indeed be punished. I think the title of the first imperial merchant should be taken away from him!
We knew that food prices should have been pushed down as the famine had just passed, but they were deliberately raised in an attempt to cause chaos among the people.
In my opinion, he should be executed immediately."
The prime minister next to him also agreed: "I reiterate that these people are beasts who are obsessed with money and deserve to die.
I usually hear that the grain transported into the treasury is all unsalable grain, and the refined rice is sold to other wealthy people outside at a high price."
When Lord Xu heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Prime Minister, what you said is not true. I heard that the grain purchased by the national treasury in recent years is the lowest price. Naturally, the lowest-priced grain cannot compare to the best grain.
Your Majesty, the drought and flood have just passed, and there has been no food in the past two years. It is normal for the price of food to be higher. How about letting them make corrections? "
Before the emperor could say anything, the prime minister beside him cursed, "Bullshit, how can the emperor not be worthy of eating the best food?
They are clearly using the famine as a pretext to exploit the people. What do you call this? This is animal behavior."
Lord Xu was so angry that he pointed at the Prime Minister and cursed: "You old man, you want to go against me in everything, right?
People say you get what you pay for. The price is cheap, but the food is not that good.
How come you say that others deliberately don't give the emperor good food? You are just spreading rumors to confuse the public."
The prime minister said calmly, "Why are you so excited? Could it be that your family opened it? Let me think about it...
Oh, yes, it's your wife's family's property, right? No wonder they protect it so much!"
Lord Xu was so angry at the Prime Minister that his face turned pale, and he almost fell down in the next second.
The little girl shook her head and looked at the two people who were pointing at her nose and cursing at each other happily.
He whispered: "If every day is this lively, I might as well get up earlier to watch the show."
The Duke now wished he could cover the little ancestor's mouth. He raised his head to glance at the Emperor and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he seemed not to have heard anything.
The court was noisy. Lord Wu Hou quietly came to Su Muyao and asked, "Wait a minute, do you want to play with me?"
The little girl looked at the Marquis with puzzled eyes: "Where are you going to play?"
Lord Wu Hou touched the little boy's head and said, "I heard there are two bandit dens over at Tufengling. Are you interested?"
Su Muyao nodded quickly: "Go, we must go, let's go now."
As she said this, she pulled the marquis' sleeve and was about to leave. The emperor held his forehead and thought, this little kid is becoming more and more unruly. It would have been fine if she just left by herself, but she also pulled the marquis away with her.
After leaving the hall, the Marquis looked at the little girl without blinking and said: "Aren't you afraid that I am a bad guy and will kidnap you and sell you."
Su Muyao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
The Marquis touched his nose and said: "Tsk, kids nowadays are hard to fool.
Back then, I just danced with my sword in the snow and captured the prince."
After saying this, he started giggling as if he had thought of something.
Su Muyao just curled her lips: "Hunters often appear in the form of prey, hahahaha..."
Lord Wu Hou...
They arrived at the palace gate chatting and laughing, but it was Su Muyao who was chatting and laughing all the way.
Lord Wu Hou simply shut up.
Just as the two men reached the palace gate, they saw a burly, dark-skinned man with sharp eyes standing next to the carriage.
There were two guards with swords sitting in the carriage.
Xiao Xia ran to Su Muyao and took the small stool.
She reached out to carry the little girl into the carriage, completely ignoring the man standing beside her.
"Xiao Xia, you drive the carriage back first. If grandpa and grandma ask, you can say that the prince's teacher saw that I am smart and wanted to teach me something."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xia quickly nodded and looked at the man beside her, thinking that this should be the prince's master that her little princess had mentioned.
He looks like a powerful figure.
After Xiao Xia had left, the Marquis was still standing there, with no intention of leaving at all.
At this time, a group of people came from afar. The man with the knife asked, "Excuse me, are you hiring our Taiping Escort Agency?"
The two guards who jumped off the carriage bowed and saluted: "It's from us."
"Who is this Excellency?"
The guard with the sword said: "This is our Lord Wu Hou, next to him is Lieutenant General Zhang, and this is our little princess."
The heads of the Taiping Escort Agency, Ming'an and Mingqi, immediately knelt down and were about to salute but were held back by the Marquis.
"No need to kneel down, wait for me to change clothes in the carriage and we will set off now."
The Marquis got into the carriage to change out of his cumbersome official uniform, but Su Muyao certainly didn't need it as she was used to being casual.
Except for the two days when he was appointed as the Imperial Master, when he wore official robes, he attended court in his everyday clothes the rest of the time.
No one cares about this little girl. After all, she can come and go as she pleases. Why should we care whether she wears official robes or not?
The two people in front of me looked very strong and had particularly dark skin.
He was a serious person, with three deep furrows on his brow, probably due to years of wrinkling. Combined with his big and strong figure, he looked a bit intimidating.
But the man's eyes were very clear, but the two of them might be a little worried now, their brows were furrowed and they looked a little depressed.
