The next morning, Su Juan was tossed around for a long time. Dong Dong dressed her with a smile on her face. "Today is a good day for the girl. The Duke specifically instructed that you should dress neatly and not lose your manners in front of the palace."

Counting the days, everything that happened in Prince Jing’s Mansion seems like it happened in my previous life.

Who could have thought that her daughter was actually the blood of His Majesty, the only child of the current emperor. How noble she was. After today, let's see who in the capital dares to gossip about her daughter.

Su Juan was a little out of breath and pulled the material around her waist, "The waist is a bit tight, loosen it a little."

Dong Dong smiled and said, "I always tie it like this. Are you nervous, young lady?"

Su Juan took a deep breath and said, "Yes, there are some. Please prepare two steamed buns for me to eat on the way."

Dong Dong smiled, "I know the girl wants to eat, so I've prepared everything."

When she thought about arriving at the palace later, and standing there, she would probably scare the ministers of the kingdom half to death.

During the court meeting that day, the court officials who had not yet entered the hall were discussing the matter.

"Today, even the two people from the Zongzheng Temple are waiting."

"It seems that His Majesty has really found the emperor's grandson. I heard yesterday that His Majesty gave him the title of Jinyang."

Su Juan sat beside her biting a steamed bun while listening to her colleagues' whispers.

"It seems that His Majesty really dotes on this little prince."

"I don't know if he is really the emperor's grandson," someone whispered.

Su Juan turned her head and happened to meet the man's eyes. She saw that the person who was speaking was another Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple.

Realizing that he had spoken out of turn, he quickly made up something else to cover it up.

Song Qianhang was also standing next to him, thinking about the message King Han had given him. Although he had a good relationship with Song Jingwen, he had no contact with this uncle on a daily basis. Why would he suddenly invite him?

At the morning court that day, the court officials were ostensibly discussing important matters, but in reality, they were all waiting with their hands in their pockets. They were curious and nervous at the same time. After all, they had only heard that the emperor's grandson had been found, but they didn't know who he was.

The queen is dignified and was once known as a talented woman. I think the emperor's grandson should also be a dignified and gentle talented woman.

The Minister of Works submitted a memorial saying, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has been reluctant to allocate the follow-up funds, and now the Ministry of Works' waterway project has been shelved for more than two months."

The Minister of Revenue began to play the victim, "Your Majesty, because of the disaster relief funds for Xuzhou, the national treasury is still in deficit, and the Ministry of Revenue is really unable to make up for it."

I told you not to rush, but you insisted on repairing the waterway. Now you have no money and you ask the Ministry of Revenue for everything. Do you really think the money in the Ministry of Revenue was blown by the wind?!

The old emperor frowned and looked at the courtiers below, "Do you have any good ideas?"

The Right Vice-Censor-in-Chief said in a memorial, "I think it is appropriate to collect taxes from the people of Xuzhou."

The Minister of Revenue frowned, "Sir Chen, in previous years, the local taxes in disaster-stricken areas were reduced or exempted for three years. It has been less than a year since the disaster in Xuzhou was cured. This is really inappropriate."

The Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief responded sharply, "Since the situation in Xuzhou has improved, the people have enough food to eat three times a day, why should we reduce the exemption for three years?"

The people in the Ministry of Revenue were so angry that their foreheads were twitching. This Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief was really getting old and confused. He was making things difficult for the Ministry of Revenue all day long.

At this time, Su Juan stood up and said, "Lord Chen used to live in the capital. I'm afraid you don't know that Xuzhou is not as prosperous as the capital. The local people have always only had two meals a day, and only the rich merchants have three meals a day."

The Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief frowned and looked at her, "So what?"

Can skipping a meal kill someone?

Su Juan said in a deep voice, "After a great disaster, the people of Xuzhou can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Most people can barely afford one meal a day, but Lord Chen wants to increase taxes at this time. Could it be that he is blinded by the wealth of the capital and does not know the suffering of ordinary people?"

[He spends his days eating and sleeping, and wakes up to eat. It would be fine if he didn't think about making some contribution to the national treasury, but he spends all day thinking about how to take a few dollars out of the pockets of the poor people.]

Minister Mo looked at Su Juan with satisfaction. She was worthy of being cultivated by me. She was so tough.

The Minister of Works was dissatisfied, "Minister Su is still young after all, and the construction of waterways is also to make it more convenient for ships from all over the country to transport goods. We really can't delay it."

Su Juan snorted coldly, "I am young and uneducated. Minister Yao is devoted to the court, so what he said makes sense."

[If you can't argue, then use age as an excuse. Yes, yes, yes, in terms of age and experience, who can be older than you? ]

[Everyone knows how much money you have embezzled from the wine. Do you really think that if you just take a little bit each time, others will not know? Yesterday, you were still in Baihua Tower hugging two singing girls all night long. You old man, you are really shameless at your age.]

The Minister of Works was so angry that his face turned red, but it was all Su Juan's criticism that made him unable to curse back. He had so much dirty talk in his heart that he felt choked up.

The old emperor frowned. The problem of the treasury deficit must be solved.

At this time, the Minister of Personnel spoke again, "Your Majesty, the disaster relief funds that were robbed that day were not a small amount. Now that such a long time has passed, the Ministry of Justice has not found anything yet. I am afraid that Yu Zhong is deliberately slacking off."

Su Juan rolled her eyes in her heart, [Yes, yes, the Ministry of Justice is slack, but you are the best, you keep talking all day long, if you have the ability, then go and investigate! ]

[Maybe while searching, you might even be found inside.]

Before the Minister of Justice could even open his mouth, Su Juan had already severely criticized him, and he felt extremely relieved.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed the Ministry of Justice's poor handling of the matter. I ask Your Majesty to punish us."

The old emperor waved his hand and said, "This is not a small case, so it is inevitable that it is difficult to investigate."

The Minister of Personnel glared at Su Juan fiercely, saying, "You are meddling in other people's business!"

In this court meeting, in addition to the Minister of Personnel and the Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief, Su Juan also offended the Minister of Works. Liu Miaoqing was worried about her when she thought about the new and old scores between these people.

The old emperor said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of Revenue should pay more attention to matters concerning the national treasury."

Minister Mo responded.

The old emperor then looked at all the officials and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to report?"

The court officials below looked at each other in silence.

The old emperor was very satisfied and said loudly, "I have recently found my granddaughter. I would like to share this good news with you all today while you are all here. You can enjoy it with me."

When the court officials heard this, they all straightened their backs, pricked up their ears, and some even wanted to stand on tiptoe. Many of them were excited, as if this was finally coming!

I don't know what kind of personality this emperor's grandson has, and whether he is easy to get along with. It would be good if he was like the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, or like those ladies from wealthy families in the capital. But I hope he is not like Minister Su.

Minister Su's personality is so difficult to get along with that it's even hard to talk to him on a daily basis.

[Huh, here it comes, I’m nervous. ]

Many people were surprised: There was also a time when Minister Su was nervous! ?
