Chapter 293: Robbing the Prime Minister's Mansion in Advance
After Xiao Mocheng left with Tang Shihuan in his arms, the hall fell into a strange atmosphere.
The little phoenix blinked and flew in front of Xiao Junze. "It is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and then improve."
"Since Tang Zhongxu has admitted his mistake and is willing to apologize to the soldiers, let's just leave it at that!"
"Ah, it's not in vain that I made this trip, Master Feng."
"goodbye!"
After the little phoenix finished speaking, it flapped its wings and flew away.
The general's wife looked at the little phoenix flying away and curled the corners of her lips: Little phoenix full of sense of justice, I thank you on behalf of my husband, son and soldiers.
Xiao Junze: “…”
Do I need you to teach me how to do things?
He could see that this phoenix was here to cause trouble for him.
Xiao Junze snorted coldly and turned back to his seat above.
He slammed the table and shouted, "Tang Zhongxu, I will spare your life for now, considering your momentary confusion."
Tang Zhongxu was delighted and kowtowed several times, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
Xiao Junze continued, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven."
"I hereby order that Tang Zhongxu temporarily resign his position as Prime Minister. Starting tomorrow, he will take the withheld military rations and go to the border to apologize."
He's just a civil servant, going to the border to get some skinned.
Besides, the soldiers on the border will not let him off easily.
Whether or not I can return to Beijing alive is another matter...
"All family members of the Prime Minister's residence are imprisoned. During the period when Tang Zhongxu is not back in Beijing, anyone who dares to leave the residence without permission will be killed without mercy."
"Also, all the property of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be put into the national treasury."
You old bastard, you must have been quite greedy since you became the prime minister!
The prime minister's wife, who had fainted in her seat, had just woken up. After hearing these words, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted again.
Before the Prime Minister's wife fainted, she had only one thought in her mind: her house had been confiscated...
The ministers said: Is the position of prime minister poisonous?
In just a few months, he killed two prime ministers.
The former Prime Minister Jiang Qinian went to Jizhou... He lost his job and his family was broken up!
Prime Minister Tang had only been in office for a few months when he was exposed by Little Phoenix at the New Year's Eve dinner for withholding military rations.
Although the whole family and the dog were saved, their future life would not be much better.
After hearing this, Tang Zhongxu felt so heartbroken!
In order to recruit soldiers and buy horses, he embezzled a lot of money and property, and now he turned it into the national treasury.
No matter what, the lives of the whole family were saved.
He knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I thank you for not killing me!"
The dinner ended here.
Xiao Junze snorted coldly, looked around at the people below, and said irritably: "Tonight's dinner is over." After that, he turned and left.
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly followed with several concubines.
Chief Steward Ji took the cloak from the maid and followed behind tremblingly, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold."
Everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your humble servants and your humble servants... respectfully bid farewell to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor. We respectfully bid farewell to all the Empresses."
"Yun Shao, Ruoruo, let's go." After the Queen and others left, Princess An Ran took Jiang Ruo and Sheng Yunshao and left first.
Outside the palace.
After Jiang Ruo and the other two got on the carriage, they couldn't help but cover their lips and laugh.
"Auntie, our Xiaofeng did a good job!"
"Tonight's dinner is so lively." Jiang Ruo said, raising his hand to take off the human skin mask on his face.
"By the way, I also need to rob the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance."
Haha, the dog emperor wants to put the property of the Prime Minister’s Mansion into the national treasury, but that’s impossible.
Princess An Ran and Sheng Yunshao nodded. "Be careful. I think the imperial guards who are going to confiscate the property will arrive soon."
"Don't worry, they can't run as fast as me." Jiang Ruo said with a money-grubbing look on his face.
She lifted the curtain and said to the secret guard driving the carriage, "Take the road closest to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Yes, Master."
The secret guard raised his whip and unconsciously increased his speed.
There was another person who was extremely happy at the dinner tonight, and that was the Crown Prince's concubine Ye Youran, including her family.
After Ye Youran left the palace, the sedan chair from the East Palace was no longer there.
Even so, she was not angry.
Instead, he hid in a corner and laughed heartily.
After she had laughed enough, she came out from the corner and walked slowly back to the East Palace.
The Prime Minister’s Mansion was destroyed, and Tang Shihuan had no support.
In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not allow a woman without support to become the queen.
........
The secret guard stopped the carriage by the roadside and whispered, "Master, we're here."
"Aunt, Dad, go back home and rest early. Don't worry about me."
"Ruoruo, don't be careless." Princess Anran warned.
"Okay!" Jiang Ruo jumped off the carriage and quickly disappeared into the dark alley.
After Jiang Ruo entered the dark alley, he observed his surroundings, then slipped into the space and changed into a nightgown.
Xiao Chengjin, who was hiding on the roof not far away, looked at the figure entering the alley and curled his lips slightly.
He said to the secret guard beside him: "Go back!"
"Yes, sir, I'll take my leave." The secret guard slipped away.
After the secret guard left, Xiao Chengjin flew into the dark alley.
After Jiang Ruo came out of the space, she was shocked when she saw Xiao Chengjin in front of her.
"Ruoruo, it's me." Xiao Chengjin was afraid of being beaten, so he spoke quickly.
Jiang Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her hand and punched Xiao Chengjin on the chest, "You scared me to death."
Xiao Chengjin grabbed Jiang Ruo's hand and said in a mean voice, "Ruo Ruo, I know where the treasures of the Prime Minister's Mansion are hidden."
Jiang Ruo chuckled, "Are you going to the palace tonight too?"
When Xiao Chengjin heard this, he felt very aggrieved.
He said aggrievedly, "You three went to the dinner party without me. I was bored at home, so I had to go by myself."
Jiang Ruo heard the pitiful tone and hugged him in her arms to comfort him.
"This is not a special case. I will take you with me no matter what occasion I go to from now on." Jiang Ruo said, standing on tiptoe to give Xiao Chengjin a comforting kiss.
Xiao Chengjin smiled, and said, "Ruoruo, let's go quickly!"
"By the way, let's go collect his two secret rooms first."
"good."
The two of them put on their masks and rushed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this moment, the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion did not know what was happening in the palace.
Led by the housekeeper, they gathered in groups of three or five to eat and drink.
After Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin jumped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, they hid in the dark and observed the situation in the Mansion.
Hearing the laughter coming from the room not far away, Jiang Ruo curled her red lips slightly.
It’s quite lively on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Your master is in big trouble.
