The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

She raised her hand and put her fingers on his cheek: "I'm not wronged."

I want to cherish every moment with him and have a deep affection with him, so that there will be years to look back on, and after we part, there will be enough memories to fill the loneliness of the rest of my life.

Is that what he meant?

Ji Ruxuan couldn't hold back her laughter, her shoulders trembled, and she held her face in both hands: "Whether you are wronged or not is your business, anyway, I will not wrong you."

Jiang Fuguang's heart suddenly felt sour.

"Be good," Ji Ruxuan was made even more uncomfortable by her, "Girls, don't be shy all day long, you have to cherish yourself, you know?"

Jiang Fuguang thumped him angrily: "Please tell me clearly, who is not ashamed?"

Just embroidering legs like this is like scratching an itch.

Ji Ruxuan was scared, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "It's me, I'm not ashamed to seduce a woman from a good family!"

Jiang Fuguang's anger dissipated, and then his eyes widened: "Who are you talking about women?"

When she made a fuss, Ji Ruxuan's heart was wiped out, and he sighed: "Good girl, girl, let's go."

Jiang Fuguang snorted and was about to speak.

Ji Ruxuan simply blocked her mouth, and after a while, whispered in her ear: "I know Ah Yan doesn't want me to suffer, Ah Yan will stay with me..."

……

In a blink of an eye, it was September, and the case of Marquis Cheng'an intensified, and more and more officials were implicated. Empress Lin, who was sick in the palace, couldn't sit still, took off her phoenix robe and hairpin, and knelt at the door of the South Study Room, her face full of shame. pleaded guilty to His Majesty, claiming:
"The courtiers and concubines are the mother of a country. They should uphold virtue and respect, govern the family at the root, respect the order of the palace, suppress the favor of foreign relatives, and run wild. This wise move really made my concubine feel ashamed, and I would like to ask His Majesty to withdraw the hairpin as an apology."

Emperor Nanxing didn't see her, and only asked Zhang Dequan to persuade her to go back.

When the news spread to the former court, the courtiers who were originally dissatisfied with the empress had no choice but to say: "The empress understands righteousness."

Empress Lin and His Majesty have a sense of adversity, and are known as virtuous and virtuous. Over the years, they have worked hard to manage the harem and assist His Majesty.

Marquis Cheng'an's criminals are monstrous, and it really shouldn't affect her.

The empress empress gave up her personal feelings, stood up righteously, and asked her majesty to withdraw her hairpin to plead guilty, expressing the empress's one-hearted heart.

It is impossible for His Majesty to really condemn the Queen just because the Queen Empress returned the hairpin to plead guilty.

Afterwards, the courtiers heard that the empress had withdrawn her hairpin to plead guilty, and after being persuaded to return to the central palace, they opened the internal treasury of the central palace, counted a large number of belongings, donated them to the post-disaster reconstruction of Xin'an County, and moved them into the Buddhist hall in the central palace. Among them, he ate fast and recited Buddhism every day, copied Buddhist scriptures, and prayed for the disaster-stricken and unjustly died people in Xin'an County.

His Royal Highness King An accompanied him.

The courtiers were full of emotion again, and the courtiers who supported the establishment of the throne, all reported to His Majesty, the empress and empress's ten contributions to the country.

He said: "The emperor and empress are of one heart and one mind, and the internal and external governance, the Southern Dynasty has gone from decline to prosperity. Even the Northern Dynasty has surrendered to our Dynasty and signed a peace agreement with our Dynasty."

It's just that it didn't make it clear that the current stable situation in the Southern Dynasty could not do without the virtuous assistance of Empress Lin.

I also secretly mentioned that no matter what mistakes Cheng Anhou made, it is true that he pacified the North. Now that the Northern and Southern Dynasties have re-signed peace talks, it is also based on Cheng'an Hou's defeat of the Northern Dynasty.

Marquis Cheng'an is so rebellious, it is outraged by both humans and gods, it is understandable for His Majesty to commit crimes against Marquis Cheng'an, but one cannot ignore his meritorious deeds, even the Empress Dowager must also be punished.

The ministers who supported the establishment of the throne stood up one after another, expressing: "The virtue of the empress is the blessing of your majesty and the fortune of the community."

Jiang Fuguang's eyes moved slightly.

The ministers who supported Li Di had spent a lot of hard work on Jiang Jingzhang over the years, and they were closely related to Jiang Jingzhang's interests, and they shared weal and woe.

The case of Marquis Cheng'an entered the trial stage, and the Minister of Legislation was worried that His Majesty would implicate the Queen and His Highness King An, so he jumped out to protect the Queen and King An.

Emperor Nanxing didn't understand the meaning and left a sentence: "My blessing, the blessing of the country, huh?"

After speaking, he strode away.

His majesty's ambiguous attitude made the ministers who supported the establishment of the emperor feel panic. After the court was dismissed, they began to discuss countermeasures.

The group pondered for a while, thinking that His Majesty was still angry about the destruction of the embankment. In order to calm His Majesty's anger, they decided to follow the example of the Queen and donate a batch of supplies to support the reconstruction of the disaster victims in Xin'an County. Negative influence of His Royal Highness.

Just as the ministers who supported Li Di were trying to eliminate the adverse effects of the case of Marquis Cheng'an on the Empress and King An, Xiaoqi General Qi Yanhuai returned to Beijing to suppress the bandits.

Qi Yanhuai went to Dali Temple first, handed over the captured criminals and the collected evidence to Dali Temple, and then went to the palace to report the details of the bandit suppression to His Majesty.

"Minister, the Qingshui gang entrenched in the Huai'an area was suppressed. After strict interrogation, three bandit dens entrenched in the canal area were successively suppressed along the canal, more than 300 million illicit salts were seized, and seven thousand people were arrested. There are large salt farms with armed crimes, and there are more than [-] small and medium salt farms with hundreds of thousands of armed criminals."

"The minister led troops to wipe out the salt field, but the salt dealers even used weapons to wound people. Except for some ordinary people who had to sell salt because of life, the rest were Lianjiazi who guarded the salt field. All relevant people have been escorted back In Beijing, the relevant weapons were also confiscated one by one."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

The focus of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs is on the word "holding weapons". Civilians are not allowed to privately manufacture or hold weapons. Anyone who violates the law will be punished with capital punishment.

Thousands of people armed with weapons is simply appalling.

Emperor Nanxing was even more furious: "What kind of weapons are they holding?"

Qi Yanhuai bowed his head and said: "Mostly knives, there are also a small amount of bows, spears, swords, and some sticks and other murder weapons."

The whole court was shocked and silent.

Emperor Nanxing sneered again and again: "They are entrenched in the river canal area. They are already local emperors and local snakes. They hold weapons and train family members. Who are they defending against? Who are they fighting against?! Seeing the court's suppression of private interests, they will be arrested without putting their hands up , dare to raise weapons to resist, do they have the king's law in their eyes, do they have the emperor like me?"

Gu Xiang shrank his hands in his sleeves and couldn't stop trembling slightly. He never expected that private salt would develop into such a trend.

This is already a blatant confrontation with the imperial court, and it is not only the imperial court's tax revenue that is endangered, but the imperial power.

How can the imperial court tolerate it? !
The hall was silent.

Qi Yanhuai continued: "Salt traffickers use the canal area for smuggling, and colluded with the local government. There are several smuggling and bandit dens, and the annual circulation of salt is as high as tens of millions, including various tribes in the southwest, and Yunzhong, Northern Dynasties, Xifan area..."

The wide distribution of private salt is simply appalling. Fortunately, Qi Yanhuai went to suppress the bandits, and no one else could handle such a big event.
