Sang Tianjiao girl is a little sweet

Chapter 947 The safety of this border is in your hands
"Brother, what should we do now?" Hua Qian was completely lost.

Daoyin frowned, looked around, saw the code left in an inconspicuous place, and said: "Leave me the matter of finding the child and Guoxi, and you stay in the palace to preside over the overall situation."

"I want to follow my brother to find the child!" Hua Qian said anxiously.

"If you leave, who can be in charge in this palace?" Daoyin asked back.

Hua Qian looked at Queen Li without hesitation, "Isn't there still a queen mother!"

Daoyin: "No one in the queen's family has been an official in the court for a long time. Do you think the queen can hold down those ambitious people if she presides over the government?"

Hua Qian: "..." There was no words to refute for a while.

Dao Yin patted Hua Qian's head lightly, "Don't worry, the three brothers will bring you back intact!"

Although unwilling, Hua Qian finally followed Dao Yin's arrangement and stayed in the palace.

The next day, at dawn, an unremarkable carriage drove out of the capital.

In the car, an old man leaned against the wall of the car, closed his eyes, and said to the driver outside the door, "Go to Guyu Town."

Yuan Chuan was slightly startled, raised the curtain of the car and asked, "Master, are we not waiting for the young master?"

The old man opened his eyes and took a look at Yuan Chuan, "Whether there are demons or not, we can meet up on the road within three days."

Yuan Chuan still understood Wu Yao's ability, and after listening to the old man's words, he stopped talking.

The carriage continued to move forward. Suddenly, Yuan Chuan tightened the reins, and stopped the carriage with a "wow".

The old man in the car sat up, "Yuanchuan, what happened?"

Yuan Chuan sighed, and said helplessly: "It's Zhihua, she chased after her, and stopped in front of the carriage."

Hearing this, the old man in the car raised the curtain of the car and looked at the woman standing in the middle of the road, saying: "This time, the old man is not going out for fun, but to do something. It's not safe for you to follow."

Zhihua snorted softly, and jumped into the carriage, "I don't know what sir is going to do, but I grew up with him, and I will go wherever he goes."

The old man or Mr. Han, that is, Lan Shaoming, looked at Zhihua quietly for a while, and said helplessly, "Then follow."

Beijing.

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay when they saw that the Empress Dowager Jiang who had presided over the early court had been replaced by Hua Qian.

Suddenly, everyone bowed their heads and whispered.

Hua Qian sat on the raised chair without speaking, and Eunuch Qian stood behind her.

Perhaps it was Hua Qian's silence that made the courtiers realize something, and soon, the entire political hall fell silent.

Seeing this, Eunuch Qian just said: "If you have something to play, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do."

Xie Chun couldn't bear it first, stood up and asked, "Usually the Empress Dowager presides over the government, why is it replaced by the Crown Princess today?"

Seeing this, other officials echoed one after another, and the quiet court became lively again.

"My lord Xie is very concerned about the Queen Mother, but she is getting old, she contracted a cold last night and fell ill, so I can only preside over the affairs of the government." Hua Qian said lightly.

However, the people present are all old foxes who have been up and down in the officialdom for many years, they are not three-year-old children, so how can they believe Hua Qian's words.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Guogong heard that the Queen Mother was ill, he asked: "I don't know which imperial doctor saw the doctor for the Queen Mother, can the Crown Princess tell you?"

"Is Liu Guogong's questioning too far?" Hua Qian raised her eyebrows and stared at Liu Guogong with a fake smile.

Facing Hua Qian's cold gaze, Duke Liu was slightly taken aback, feeling that Hua Qian today is a little different from the past.

Naturally it was different, the three children were gone, apart from worry, she also held back a burst of rage.

If someone does not know what to do and continues to provoke her, I am afraid that there will be no good end.

"Besides the veterans, I believe there are many people in the Palace of Political Affairs who want to know about the Empress Dowager's condition." Liu Guogong said righteously.

"That's right." Hua Qian smiled, but without a trace of warmth in her eyes, she glanced at the officials in the inner hall of the Palace of Political Affairs.

People from Queen Mother Jiang's faction echoed Liu Guogong's words one after another, and the number accounted for two-thirds, which shows that Queen Mother Jiang has a lot of followers.

Seeing this, Hua Qian admired Queen Mother Jiang a little.

But in just over half a month, she had bought so many important court officials.

However, I don't know if it's because of her skillful means, or because these ministers are like grass on the wall, and they will fall when the wind blows.

"My lords are so concerned about the Empress Dowager's phoenix body, I will go to Yongshou Palace to tell the truth after the next court." Hua Qian played with the jade wrench on her thumb.

"Then I would like to thank the Crown Princess." Liu Guogong seemed respectful, but his expression was very arrogant.

Hua Qian didn't take this seriously, and looked at Xie Chun, "I heard that the Empress Dowager left the matter of buying food to Mrs Xie, but I don't know if the food is already bought?"

Xie Chun gave Hua Qian a suspicious look, bowed and said, "Go back to the Crown Princess, the food has already been bought, and it was sent to the border by the Ministry of War yesterday."

Hua Qian knew about this a long time ago, and also knew that the grain they bought was old grain, and most of it was moldy and inedible.

This kind of food was transported to the border to be eaten by the soldiers who fought the war. Not to mention being poisoned to death, they couldn't escape without vomiting and diarrhea.

In this way, the soldiers of Daqi had lost half their lives before going to battle.

If the enemy army comes to attack, isn't that a proper way to die!
Thinking of such a scene, Hua Qian's whole heart trembled.

"I don't know how much grain Mr. Xie bought, and how much silver taels did you spend?" Hua Qian asked knowingly.

What Xie Chun bought were some old and moldy old grains. The total cost was less than 3 taels, but he took 10 taels from the Empress Dowager Jiang, which was really greedy.

As for the remaining 20 taels, it naturally went into Queen Mother Jiang's pocket.

However, it doesn't matter, she will tell them to spit out all the money these people ate.

Xie Chun had already thought of a countermeasure, and said calmly: "I bought a total of 50 shi of grain, and each shi was two taels of silver, a total of 10 taels was spent. There are records in the account book of the household department. Find the account department to check."

Xie Chun thinks his work is flawless, but he doesn't know that Hua Qian has already sent someone to investigate what he did.

"Thank you for your hard work." Hua Qian had a smile on her face, but she sneered in her heart.

After retreating from court, Hua Qian waved back Eunuch Qian who had been by her side, and called Ying Yi out, "Ying Er is back?"

Ying Yi bowed his head and followed behind Hua Qian, and said: "Ying Er hasn't come back yet, but he sent a letter back, he and the two young masters of the Huo family have found the place where Xie Chun hid the food."

Hua Qian nodded, her slightly frowning eyebrows relaxed a little.

Yesterday, Wu Yao was supposed to transport the grain that Hua Qian ordered him to buy to the border, but he met Xie Chun halfway and secretly replaced the grain with moldy old grain.

The good food was transported away by Xie Chun and hid.

*
On the border between Daqi and Mobei, in a simple courtyard.

Yue Xia looked at Huo Zhenyang and Huo Zhenxing who were rushing to the border without stopping, and showed a rare smile, "You two generals, the safety of this border is left to you."
