Princess Fuyao

Chapter 211 Who digs a hole for whom?
"I have a message here. The prefects of Mingzhou and Qinzhou prefectures in East Suidong invited old farmers from the south of the Yangtze River to teach them how to plant rice after the summer rains. There has been a small increase, and only one of the three prefectures, Ningcheng, was affected by the disaster, and now the tax has been reduced by so much, how is this possible? Ningcheng does not pay a penny, and it is more than this!"

Sun Jiayan froze there.

"Since you became Minister of the Household Department, you have been perfunctory in the annual inspection, so that the officials below have the audacity to act recklessly and not take the court seriously!" Emperor Jiaming's tone was soothing, but his tone was very strict, "The widow has repeatedly emphasized that we must do our duty , how are you doing?"

"You've been deceived by your lowly position!" Sun Jiayan argued anxiously, "Master Ji is in charge of checking the accounts this year." Can't get rid of it.

"But she is still checking the accounts, and asked for an extension of time. Why did you report the general account here?"

Sun Jiayan was dumbfounded, and immediately realized that he had been tricked by Ji Fuyao, but if he didn't want to hold Fuyao high, would he have made such a mistake?

The crown prince is in the upper position, so he can see very clearly that the head of the household department and the assistant are at odds, the two dig each other, one murders the other, and the other beats the other.

This is the court's misfortune.But who is to blame for such a situation?As the humerus of the imperial court, Sun Jiayan doesn't think about serving the country and the people. He is narrow-minded and mean-spirited. How can such an official be used?

Sun Jiayan asked the people below to report directly to him, but he didn't expect that Ji Fuyao was waiting here. He understood now, and cold sweat immediately soaked his back.

"Your Majesty! Prince! It was my negligence, but Lord Ji wrote a letter, but refused to inform the humble official..."

"Huh?" The crown prince had long been displeased with Sun Jiayan's words. He lowered his face and said in a slightly displeased voice, "Master Ji is in charge of the accounts. Since she said she didn't check it out, why did you bring it here?"

"Chen, minister..." Sun Jiayan knelt and kowtowed fiercely, unable to explain a word.

"Back off!" Emperor Jiaming was very unhappy, with a very annoyed tone.

When the Fuyao book came up, the prince guessed that it would be bad for Sun Jiayan.

"Father, this Ji Fuyao is really serious, she actually wants to go through the account book again. Have you seen the information she extracted from the mansion newspaper? If there is any false report, you can tell it at a glance.

Emperor Jia Ming was very happy, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Ji always puts his best effort into everything he does. Alas, if he is a man, he can even enter the cabinet. He is talented in both civil and military affairs. Where can we find such a person?"

"Yeah, I heard that she is very good at accounting, but I didn't expect her to be so perfect in her work. It's really rare." When the prince said this, he was somewhat honored, she was recommended by him.

Sun Jiayan was fined by the emperor for one year, and returned to the household department full of cowardice, he went directly to the official office of Fuyao, and wanted to reprimand him, but no matter what, he was a rank higher than her.

Unexpectedly, Fuyao was reprimanding his subordinates, picked up account books one after another, and threw them at the officials standing in the middle of the room like logs.

That person was exactly Sun Jiayan's confidant, whom he had worked hard to cultivate and wanted to recommend to the emperor.

"Master Ji, what mistake did Master Liu make that you refuse to give him the dignity of a nobleman?" Sun Jiayan forgot what he wanted to say, and defended himself first.

"Master Shangshu! As an official, if you haven't fulfilled the imperial court's heavy entrustment, is there any dignity at all?" Fuyao replied bluntly, then turned her head and continued to speak with a sombre face.

"Lord Liu, this is the account you are in charge of. It is full of loopholes. Because of you, the imperial court has lost more than 600 million taels of silver a year. In the entire Ningshang Province, almost none of the officials is innocent. Although you did not let them corrupt, But you are here with the mud, don't you have a crime of connivance and ignorance?"

"Ji Fuyao, if you don't investigate, you are also guilty, don't try to push it on your subordinates!" Sun Jiayan sat on the grand teacher's chair in the house and put up his airs. He knew that if he didn't push Fuyao down today, he, an official, would be in danger. Not good.

"I don't want to investigate? That's right, if I listen to Mr. Sun's words today and save face for him, and I will be in front of the Holy One another day, then I should really bear this responsibility."

Sun Jiayan was taken aback for a moment, remembering the embarrassing scene of the emperor smashing the memorial on his head, his face turned livid for a moment, he doubted that Ji Fuyao knew about his being repaired today, even though he knew it was impossible, but he just felt uncomfortable .

"Lord Liu, I'll give you half a month. If you can't check the accounts clearly, you won't be in the Ministry of Accounts in the spring of next year."

Spring next year?Sun Jiayan was taken aback for a moment, then he understood that the Spring Festival was coming soon, it was time to seal, Fuyao was an official who threatened to dismiss Liu Suifeng.

"Master Ji, it's better to have some grounds for what you say. Even if Master Liu is wrong, it's still an official of the imperial court, not your servant."

"Yes, if it were a servant of my family, the family law must have been enforced by now." Fuyao waved his hand and let Liu Suifeng leave.

Usually in the ministry, the people holding the account books are all petty officials, but today they finally saw a man in official uniform holding the account books, and everyone couldn't help but take a second look.

Among the thirteen provinces, there were seven obvious loopholes in the accounts, and two more obscure ones with slightly smaller gaps. Fuyao pointed them out one by one and asked his subordinates to produce the correct account books years ago.

In the next ten days or so, several departments of the Ministry of Housing kept candlelight all night long. Finally, except for Liu Suifeng, the others finally handed in barely qualified numbers.

This morning, Liu Suifeng saw Fuyao glance at him coldly, without even saying a word, his heart sank.

He repented, he shouldn't have listened to Sun Jiayan's words, thought Ji Fuyao was a woman, and had contemptuously thought of Ji Fuyao. Later, he knew that Fuyao's accounting skills were superb, and firmly believed that Sun Jiayan could settle her down. Now, Sun Jiayan shrank his head and acted like a turtle. I have to become the person who tops the tank.

On the day of the seal years ago, the emperor ordered that Liu Suifeng's officials be dismissed.

The people in the household department had guessed this result a long time ago. Although they were not surprised, they were not without shock.

Li Guangming and Wang Hongliang secretly called luck: "Oh, fortunately, I heard Zhang Suisheng's words. This guy is lucky. He knows his boss. He is the same year as us, and he has a prosperous official career. The emperor is Liu Suifeng, but he didn't order anyone to take the top. In my opinion, Zhang Sui must win."

"Yes, Lord Ji has commended him three or four times. I don't know if she has recommended Lord Zhang to the emperor."

"If I were Lao Zhang, I would take advantage of the Chinese New Year and go to Prince Zhongren's Mansion."

"You, Lord Ji is a woman. What did you say when you went there? To show loyalty? I heard that she wants to take care of her children at home, and she doesn't care about being an official. Naturally, she won't win over people. If she goes, she will make King Zhongren unhappy."

Hearing what Wang Hongliang said, Li Guangming lowered his head: "You are amazing, I almost want to go."

"Wait, this time, we managed to follow Zhang Suisheng and show our face once, and we'll see what Master Ji will do next."

Zhang Suisheng was very calm, he knew very well that it was time for him to be promoted.Originally, this appointment should have come two years ago, but Sun Jiayan was very displeased with him, not only refused to recommend him, but also deliberately suppressed him, and promoted Liu Suifeng who was good at flirting.

When he thought that Liu Suifeng would climb to the high position of the right servant, he felt sore for a while, feeling that the sky was unfair, but after more than 20 years of scrambling in the quagmire of officialdom, he had seen too many ups and downs, watching him rise from tall buildings, Watch him entertain guests, watch his building collapse.

The world is impermanent, he can only stick to his heart.

Fortunately, the emperor is a sensible person. In the past, he thought about whether he would resign from office when the emperor was on a grand tour. Now, the emperor has replaced him with a prince. The second prince is smarter and smarter. He doesn't believe that he will be buried here. Red Dust.

Gold will always shine.

Years ago, Zhang Suisheng personally went to his father-in-law's house to give a New Year's gift. The grey-haired but energetic father-in-law patted him on the shoulder: "Not bad!"

The mother-in-law turned her head and wiped her tears. Although she had given up on her third daughter a long time ago, her fingers connected with her heart. When she really saw her suffer, she felt distressed and sad, and couldn't help herself.

Among the officials in the capital, the matter of relatives matching relatives and the household department quickly spread during the mutual visits during the Spring Festival.

The New Year passed in a blink of an eye, and on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, all the nobles and senior officials in the capital received a post from the palace, which invited everyone to the Spring Banquet.

"Mother, daddy takes elder brother there every year, and I'm ten years old this year!" Second son Liang Hanwen said to Fuyao dawdly.

Fuyao secretly sighed in her heart. She was particularly displeased with the many injustices in this society, but there was nothing she could do about it. For example, when the family was separated, the eldest son would get [-] to [-]% of the family property, including his father's title. The second son, not only had no money, He has no status, even if he supports the elderly in the future, it will not be his turn.

Fuyao is not particularly pushy, and if he meets someone who is particularly good-looking, he can't accept it. Anything that shows up is the eldest son's, and the other sons can only follow behind and obsequiously.

"Hanwen thinks, why does your father take you to the palace?"

Han Wen pouted and thought and thought, he is young, his martial arts are not as good as his brother's, and his studies are not as good as his brother's....

Seeing his son lower his head in frustration, Fuyao felt even more uncomfortable: "You know, in this world, it is your father who should take your elder brother there. In the future, if you have difficulties, you will also rely on your elder brother to help you."

"I'll help him too!" Hanwen said unconvinced.

"But, what can you do to help?"

A tear rolled in Hanwen's eyes for a long time, and finally, he forced it back: "Mother, my martial arts practice is not as good as my brother's. I am neither flexible nor strong enough, but I, but I am the most like a mother. Better than my brother, I recite books for an hour, and my brother takes an hour and a half to memorize."

He lowered his head, and after a while, he raised his head: "But my brother worked hard. He practiced martial arts in the morning and studied in the afternoon. I played in the evening. He still studied and surpassed me. From now on, I will also study at night. Next year, I will surpass my brother. Will Daddy take me?"

"If you surpass Wu Yi, mother will ask your father to take you next year. It's agreed, after all, you only have to surpass in studies, and martial arts are not good enough, so you are only allowed to do it once next year. Let's discuss it later, shall we?"

"Okay!" Wen Han smiled.

In the evening, Fuyao and Liang Mingrui discussed the future arrangements for the children.

Wu Yi is mature and prudent, inheriting the title, nothing has changed. Wen Han is very strong, and he is good at reading. After Chinese New Year, I sent him to an academy outside the city to study at a boarding house. From now on, I will hone his way of getting along with others, maybe In the future, he will rely on his own ability to follow the path of a civil servant.

The third child is still young, so let's talk about it later.
