After my inner voice was exposed, I made the tyrant cry anxiously

After the New Year's Day, the officials gathered together. Because they didn't sleep well last night, the Su family got up early and yawned one after another.

Liu Miaoqing followed her into the hall and met many colleagues along the way. She whispered, "I heard that there is no progress in the investigation of the case by the Ministry of Justice in Xuzhou. Someone is bound to mention it today."

It is estimated that when Xuzhou is mentioned, someone will inevitably want to read a copy of their household department. After all, the household department has been so jealous over the past year.

"Just wait and see what happens." Su Juan looked around. Due to her promotion, the position where she stood had changed. She could no longer take a nap in the back seat.

Mo Youqian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, joked, "Xiao Su, you are the youngest among the six ministers I have ever seen."

At the beginning, he felt that Su Jian was very capable and could be put to great use, so he kept cultivating her. Unexpectedly, it had only been so long since he came back from a trip to Xuzhou, and his career had skyrocketed!
  Su Juan smiled implicitly, "Thanks to Master Mo for his continuous cultivation of the official."

Mo Shangshu smiled and narrowed his eyes, "To be honest, I know how to read faces. I just looked at your face and thought you were a great talent."

"Master Mo is so complimentary."

Su Juan could hardly answer the words, [Stop talking, you are so complimentary that your face turns red. 】

Many courtiers looked over, blushing?

How thick-skinned is this Mr. Su? How can he blush?

[It’s true that Mo Youqian is so boastful. I didn’t know he had such a mouth before. 】

The Minister of Civil Affairs snorted coldly, "Whoever is involved with you has a bad mouth?"

Liu Miaoqing observed the surroundings calmly. This was her first time standing in the golden palace for a court meeting. The people in front were all high-ranking officials of third rank or above.

Among the six ministries in Xuzhou, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Punishment were all involved. However, only the people in the Ministry of Hubu were rewarded and promoted. The Minister of the Ministry of War even hanged himself in prison. So far, no one has filled the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. superior.

As soon as she thought about this, the emperor entered the golden palace and all the officials paid homage.

After talking about a few recent events, Mei Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

When the weather gets cold, the old emperor always wants to go to court quickly, "Say it quickly."

"In the past few months, the price of rice in Xuzhou has skyrocketed. It is said that this was the work of Su Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Not only did he not open warehouses to release grain, he even supported local rice traders with the Xuzhou prefect to drive up rice prices. As a result, the people of Xuzhou complained endlessly and even rice was lost. If you don’t have enough to eat, you will starve to death along the way.”

"Shilang Su even took the prefect of Xuzhou to eat, drink and have fun with wealthy businessmen from all over the country on the pretext of soliciting business from Xuzhou. He really neglected his duty."

While he was talking, the right deputy governor of the capital came forward to second his opinion, "Your Majesty, this veteran has also heard about this matter. Although the Ministry of Hubu has made great achievements in this disaster relief, its faults must be mentioned."

Suddenly many people looked at Su Juan.

Su Juan lazily yawned, [He listens to the wind and rain all day long, following others around and has no opinion of his own. No wonder he is only the right deputy censor of the capital at this age. 】

Someone almost laughed.

Liu Miaoqing almost laughed out loud after hearing this, with the corners of her mouth curled up.

Those ministers who had been attended by the right deputy censor even wanted to jump up and applaud Su Juan.

Su Juan's words simply poked at the heart of the right deputy censor of the capital, making his old face turn red with anger, "Your Majesty, merit should be rewarded, and fault should be punished. Only in this way can the courtiers be convinced."

The old emperor suddenly became impatient. Didn't the price of rice drop? The prefect of Xuzhou also mentioned the necessary measures in extraordinary times. If he were to mention it again now, would he be too busy?
  Don’t play hard if you have nothing to do!

"Where is Mr. Su, the Minister of Hubu?" Su Juan stood up and said, "I am here."

As soon as she stood up, everyone saw her. Unlike before, she stayed at the very back and had to walk forward for a long time to answer questions.

This was the first time that the old emperor saw her so close in the Golden Palace. The little girl stood there, quite energetic.

"What's your excuse for what Mei Shangshu and Chen Yushi said?"

Su Juan responded in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, everything Shangshu Mei said is true. I have nothing to say in defense."

The Minister of Civil Affairs sneered and said, "You have nothing to say."

The old emperor's eyes flashed. He usually talks a lot, but now he has nothing to say to defend himself?
  Su Juan stood in the sight of everyone, "Aren't these old people jealous after seeing the household department's recent achievements? They want to suppress me, a newly promoted official. Alas, they are all so small-minded. No wonder people are welded to death at this age." In the position of Shangshu, I can't even move my butt. 】

[Sigh, maybe one day I will pack up and go back to my hometown with the Minister of War. 】

The Minister of Libu was so angry that his face turned red and black. Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about?
  If you have the ability, just say it openly and ask yourself, "What are you capable of?"
  The old emperor narrowed his eyes, "Su Qing, do you really have nothing to say?"

Su Juan was silent for a moment, [Is this what I must say? 】

[Well, I should say a few words, so that I can live up to the position of fourth-grade minister that I worked hard to climb to at such a young age. 】

Someone coughed lightly, "Okay, okay, everyone knows that you are young and a fourth-grade minister."

Su Juan said loudly, "Your Majesty, the so-called raising the price of rice is just a necessary means in extraordinary times. It will fall only when it rises. Opening warehouses to release grain can only solve the short-term hunger of the victims. Only by attracting grain merchants from other places to transport grain to Xuzhou , completely lower the price of rice, and then attract wealthy businessmen from all over the world to develop business in Xuzhou, so that Xuzhou can solve the current dilemma."

"When Xuzhou becomes prosperous, the people of Xuzhou can make a living, eat food with their own hands for a long time, and avoid the famine problem in the two years after the disaster. Wei Chen believes that this is the best strategy."

"So, what Shangshu Mei said, I have nothing to say in defense."

Su Juan spread her hands and said, [Do you understand? If you still don't understand, don't say it again, so as not to let everyone know that you are stupid. 】

Many people nodded repeatedly. What Su Shilang said was reasonable. A discerning person could see the current situation in Xuzhou and know that Su Shilang's tactics were indeed useful.

Otherwise, the Xuzhou prefect would not have issued more than a dozen envelopes in succession.

[Logically speaking, if you can sit in the position of minister or censor, you won't be so stupid that you can't understand people, right? 】

They all understood it, but I don't know if Mei Shangshu and Chen Yushi could understand it.

[If you still don’t understand this, the old emperor may have to consider whether to promote some new people who can understand human language to replace you two old guys. 】

The old emperor looked at the two of them and narrowed his eyes. That was the truth.

Mei Shangshu and Chen Yushi could have raised a few more questions, but now they were unable to get up or get down due to Su Juan's words.

Su Juan changed the subject. Since you want me to speak, I must say a few more words.

"Speaking of the matter in Xuzhou, Your Majesty, I also have something to ask Mei Shangshu."

The old emperor put his hand up and was not in a hurry to go down to court.

The courtiers who couldn't help but take a nap also pricked up their ears. (End of chapter)
