Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 253

"Is what you said true? Ma'am, she's still alive?" Xianxian grabbed Su Lijin's hand excitedly, and the joy in her expression made her a little ashamed.

Su Lijin never showed up, but Xianxian missed her so much, which made her, the master, not know what to do.

Thinking about it, she nodded quickly: "She is still alive, so you must wait for her to come back in the palace."

Xianxian's face was full of tears, and she was already crying with joy at this time, and she nodded repeatedly: "Xianxian will definitely wait for the empress to come back, and the immortal will know that such a good person as the empress will be blessed by heaven, and the empress will definitely return to the palace to take Go back to your place."

The latter sentence is a resentment towards the former Yan Jia.

At this point, Su Lijin also sighed a little. Yan Jia almost robbed her of the Queen's position. Speaking of which, since the day she became Queen, she seemed to have been living in conspiracy and calculations, and she was able to survive until today safely. Relying on some memories from her previous life and planning in this life, she saved herself from danger.

Everyone said that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, and what Su Lijin has to bear is really too heavy.

Involuntarily, she thought of the pictures of her previous life, those dead relatives, those humiliations, so heavy, she didn't know how she persisted until today.

but……

Su Lijin's eyes are firm. No matter what, since she is already in this position, she will never let anyone push her into the abyss again. She wants to protect herself, her family, and let those who harmed her , pay the due price.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xianxian wiped away his tears and said as he walked: "Shi Qi, thank you for telling me this, I have to carry water, and they asked me to carry fifty buckets, if I don't finish carrying it, I won't have food today. I go first……"

There was grievance in her voice, but she had to endure it, she was very weak.

Su Lijin watched, feeling a little unbearable.

"You don't need to carry water, leave them alone."

Xianxian shook his head: "As long as I stay here, I have to do these jobs, otherwise, how can I wait for the empress? I have to wait until the day when the empress returns."

Seeing her gritted teeth, Su Lijin frowned, but said nothing, turned and went to the imperial study.

No, she wants to find Xiao Shengyong and ask him to change Xianxian's position.

In the imperial study room, Xiao Shengyun was holding a memorial in his hand, looking at it with a headache, as if a very difficult political matter was being reported on it.

Seeing her come in, after listening to her request, he raised his head and said, "Shi Qi, this matter..."

He was still worried about the memorial, and his tone was a little hesitant.

"Your Majesty, Xianxian is the personal maid of the empress, you must change her position."

Su Lijin's tone was very straightforward, and she didn't want Xiao Shengyun to procrastinate: "Your Majesty will come back one day, and if she knows that her court lady is living such a life of being bullied every day, she will definitely be unhappy. Your Majesty, you should treat it as a For the sake of your empress, please be lenient to her people."

"Shi Qi, I don't object to what you said."

Finally raised his head from the memorial, Xiao Shengyun smiled and shook his head: "Could it be that in your eyes, I am such a cold-faced and heartless person?"

"What does the emperor mean, that he agrees?" Su Lijin tentatively asked with a shy smile.

Xiao Shengxun nodded: "I heard from you that Xianxian's life is really hard, so it's up to you to change her position, and I will let the servants do it."

Looking at the person in front of him, he really felt helpless. This was her request, and he couldn't answer it.

"The empress of the seventeenth generation thanked the emperor." Su Lijin said with a charming smile.

The matter was resolved, and she noticed the memorial in the emperor's hand.

Seeing the word locust plague, I couldn't help but move over.

"Your Majesty, is there a plague of locusts?"

Was Xiao Shengyong worried about the locust plague just now?
Hearing this, Xiao Shengyun handed the memorial in her direction so that she could see it clearly, and said, "It's from Quanzhou. The urgent report just submitted said that locusts were infested and a lot of good land was lost. , and now, we are waiting for countermeasures to resolve this matter.”

"Quanzhou?"

Su Lijin was slightly stunned: "That is a business fortress. If something happens here, it will affect the flow of goods in Daliang. This matter cannot be sloppy."

"I think so too." Xiao Shengyun nodded in the same way.

Quanzhou is a business fortress, and most of Daliang's treasury is accounted for by business exchanges. Once there collapses and commerce is interrupted, the treasury will inevitably be affected.

More importantly, the common people will also be affected, and how many people will fall into dire straits.

As the king of a country, thinking of this, I feel uneasy.

Seeing what he was thinking, Su Lijin really began to think about it: "Although locust disasters happen every year, but they are so serious, we still need to pay more attention to them."

"What good idea do you have?"

"The people affected by the disaster are the common people. Shiqi believes that the most urgent thing is to dispatch disaster relief funds first so that the common people will suffer less."

The plague of locusts will inevitably lead to the destruction of fertile land. The common people rely on the fields to eat and drink. Now it is necessary to solve their food and clothing problems and some loss problems.

"Well, that's right, I also think so." Xiao Shengyun picked up his pen, waiting to draw up the imperial decree.

"I will immediately send someone to escort the disaster silver to Quanzhou."

"Your Majesty, wait a minute." Su Lijin raised her hand, rolled her eyes, and said, "Why don't you let the Prime Minister take the money with you?"

"If the disaster money is lost in the prime minister's hands, or if it is reduced by more than half, then he can be punished."

This is a way to deal with the prime minister.

Hearing this, Xiao Shengyun shook his head: "Shiqi, this move will not bring down the prime minister in one fell swoop, let alone the prime minister's refusal to go in person, even if he goes, he lost the disaster money, and the punishment will only let him go out. Once it bleeds, it can't hurt the root."

"Then why not let his subordinates go?"

By the time……

Thinking of something, Su Lijin's eyes flickered slightly.

After thinking about it, Xiao Shengyun finally nodded: "This is quite possible."

On the next day, in court, the matter of locust disaster in Quanzhou was discussed immediately, and all the ministers talked about it, thinking about countermeasures.

"Prime Minister, Quanzhou has been severely affected by the disaster this time, and I intend to send disaster relief funds to support it. Do you have a suitable escort for the disaster relief funds?"

In the high position, Xiao Shengying seemed to be inquiring.

When Zhang Wenfeng heard it, he felt a little happy, and hurriedly said: "I think that the inspector of the household department can take up the position of escorting the disaster relief money. He happens to work in the household department, and it happens that the silver is also taken out from the household department, so there is no need to move it out for handover." other people."

The household inspector is his confidant.

Xiao Shengyong stared at him with dark eyes, but didn't speak.

He didn't expect that the prime minister had quite a lot of hands in the household department.

For a moment, just when Zhang Wenfeng thought that the emperor had other intentions, unexpectedly, Xiao Shengyun nodded: "Well, let's send the officials recommended by the prime minister."

The inspector of the household department has a moderate position, and he was overjoyed to be recommended by the prime minister. Thanks for his kindness, he quickly went to the household department to get the money.

On the official road, the inspector of the household department who escorted the official silver was sitting in a carriage, behind him were several carriages carrying relief money, and several teams of guards followed.

All the way was unimpeded, and the prime minister's confidant lost his guard.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the journey, the carriage stopped suddenly, and he almost hit the wall of the carriage.

"What's going on?" He cursed.

There was no sound outside, and the household inspector poked his head out suspiciously, but his face turned pale when he saw the situation outside.

The guard fell to the ground, and a dozen masked men dressed as bandits were staring at him.

"Ah!" He screamed, but before the scream was finished, a strong force hit him, and he fell down.

Su Lijin came out and tore off the face towel: "Take all the money away."

The loss of disaster money is a felony, and when the inspector of the household department woke up, he hurriedly reported it with a pale face.

He reported that he was intercepted by bandits.

Xiao Shengyun's black eyes did not move, and he suppressed the undercurrent in his heart: "Decide my will, and immediately go to suppress the bandits."
