Su Juan met Minister Mo's scrutinizing eyes and grinned, "Don't worry, sir! I'll go and say a few fair words and come back after I'm done."
Minister Mo looked suspicious.
【Only a fool would come back! 】
Su Juan patted her butt and walked away, leaving Minister Mo behind. She ran as fast as she could as if her feet were greased, for fear that she would be stopped by Minister Mo.
The old emperor was a good selector. Look, he picked Mo Youqian, who was devoted to the Ministry of Revenue. He was loyal to his duties and many old accounts were recalculated and verified one by one. He wished he could live in the Ministry of Revenue every day.
It is said that the Minister of Revenue was really sick and was frightened to death.
In fact, Su Juan had finished her official duties long ago, but she was forced to work for Minister Mo all day long.
She had been looking forward to the New Year holiday for the past two days. It would be a full fifteen days. Wouldn't that be great?
I remember when I was in the company, we only had a few days off during the Chinese New Year, which was really stingy.
After Su Juan left, Minister Mo shook his head repeatedly, sighing.
During this period of time, he actually discovered that Su Juan was indeed talented and smarter than others. She understood many things, and even those that she didn't understand, she understood them all at once, so he wanted to promote her.
After all, I was always suppressed by my superiors back then... Thinking about it now, my heart is bitter, and I want to give Su Juan more advice and teach her more within my ability.
Thinking about the future, she will be able to go further and more steadily.
As a result... this girl was really lazy, but not to that extent. After all, she never missed the morning court. At most, she was just lazy and complained about it, but she would not do anything at all in the Ministry of Revenue that was not her job.
In this case, even if he wants to be promoted, it will be difficult to get promoted.
…
At this time, Su Juan had no idea that Minister Mo was worrying about her future. As soon as she arrived outside the hall, she heard a quarrel coming from inside.
The eunuch who was on good terms with Su Juan came out quietly to remind her, "Lord Su, you should wait a little longer. There is a quarrel going on inside. If you go in now, you might get affected."
Su Juan was immediately curious, "How could this happen to His Majesty?"
The eunuch muttered quietly, "When His Majesty left court earlier, he asked the Duke to bring warm clothes to the palace. As a result, when the Duke returned to the Duke's Mansion, he ran into the Wu family and couldn't get out. His Majesty couldn't wait, so he sent people to urge them, and this urge brought all the people into the palace."
"Look, it's happening."
Su Juan was silent.
Soon, someone came out, "Sir Su, His Majesty invites you in."
Su Juan then adjusted her official robe and hat and followed the eunuch into the hall.
At this time, the two sides were arguing, their faces red.
The Duke of Ping was a man of few words. Even if Xie Xun was eloquent, he could not win against five people from three generations of the Duke's family.
The old emperor was playing with the warm clothes. It felt warm in his hands and made him very happy. If it weren't for the noise below, he would have wanted to put it on right away.
【What happened to the old emperor? 】
The old emperor stopped playing and said, "?"
What's wrong with me?
[Duke Ping only has two items, and he wants to take one more! ]
The old emperor had a stern face and said, "I am the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. What's wrong with just grabbing one piece? Why does he need so many? Can he wear them all?"
This Su Juan is really biased.
Duke Pingguo coughed softly and said: I can actually wear it.
[There are so many charcoal fires and floor heating in the palace, but they can't satisfy you. As the emperor of Jin, you still want to rob your subjects. Why are you doing nothing all day long? ]
Sheng Pingbo, who came behind with his son, agreed crazily in his heart, saying that Xiao Su was really good at talking, that's exactly the truth!
The old emperor cleared his throat, put the things aside, and looked at the crowd below without changing his expression. "Everyone is here. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. The New Year's Day is in two days. The most important thing is to be harmonious."
It's just a trivial matter, is it necessary to make such a fuss? Please don't delay my holiday.
Xie Xun was the first to be criticized. "Your Majesty, it was Miss Wu who provoked yesterday and had an argument with the Crown Prince's Consort. I was innocently implicated and had a glass of wine poured on me. The door was blocked by the Wu family. The Crown Prince's Consort and Young Master Liu from the Earl of Shengping's Mansion were present to testify. Please, Your Majesty, investigate this matter and give me justice."
After Xie Xun finished speaking, Su Juan took the opportunity to continue, "Your Majesty, yesterday it was indeed as Master Xie said, and I can testify for him."
The old emperor nodded slightly, it was indeed a trivial matter.
Wu Ziyu looked at Liu Xuan with red eyes, her gleaming with tears, hiding unspeakable grievances.
She cried, "Your Majesty, I did have an argument with the Crown Prince's Consort, but it was the Crown Prince's Consort who provoked me first. I threw the wine out of anger. Master Xie was her helper, so how could what the two of them said be true?"
Su Juan looked wronged, "Miss Wu, did you misunderstand something? I have always treated you with courtesy and never said anything bad to you."
[My aunt, when did I provoke you? ]
[It was you who rushed up to me with eager eyes, saying that I didn't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and that I didn't deserve to stay in Jingyuan. Then you said that I was working in the court and showing off, and that I didn't follow the rules for women and didn't observe the code of conduct for women. Oh my God, what a big pot you have to take on! ]
Wu Ziyu was so angry that her eyes turned red. "You didn't say it, but you thought about it in your heart!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people present understood clearly in their hearts that Su Juan really had the ability to make people angry to death. Not to mention Wu Ziyu, there were many times when the old emperor wanted to strangle her to death.
Minister Wu's face changed slightly. This was not something he could talk about. He had clearly warned his granddaughter many times at home, but she just turned around and didn't take it seriously!
Su Juan felt even more aggrieved, "Your Majesty, Miss Wu is clearly speculating about me, and I am dissatisfied."
Wu Ziyu: "You know what you are thinking!"
[You are so awesome! You know what I am thinking! ]
[How could Minister Wu be so stupid as to assist the incompetent Prince Heng, since he has such a capable granddaughter like you? ]
Minister Wu's face froze and he subconsciously looked at the old emperor.
The old emperor narrowed his eyes, not surprised by this. After all, King Han and King Heng had been fighting for a long time in the court. Shangshu Wu had targeted King Han several times, which showed that he supported King Heng. However, King Heng was really mediocre and even enriched himself.
Minister Wu didn't dare to say a word at this moment, but he sneered in his heart, "Although Prince Heng is mediocre, he is not as fond of killing as Prince Han. What do you, a woman, know about these court affairs?"
[Forget it, I won't bother with the Wu family. In less than two years, all the male members of the family will be beheaded, and the female members will be demoted to slavery and exiled. It's really pitiful.]
Wu family: “???”
Others present: “!!!”
The old emperor held his breath, fearing that it would affect Su Juan's performance. He hoped that she would say a few more useful words and stop talking nonsense all day long.
But Wu Ziyu roared: "Su Juan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Su Juan was shocked and stunned. She was confused and wondered what she had said.
[Fuck! Can she really hear what I'm thinking? ]
Everyone's face turned pale except Wu Ziyu.
