Chapter 89 Individuals, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, beheadings, confiscation of property, extermination of all clans!!
While Jiang Yingcheng was still worrying about how to tell this to her handsome father, a smart minister had already passed the message across the steps.
"Your Majesty," Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu suddenly said, "It is almost the end of the year, and envoys from various countries are about to arrive in Beijing. I suggest that we strengthen the inspection of surrounding towns to ensure the safety of the envoys!"
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up.
[Yes, yes, yes, search carefully! ]
[It just so happens that the deep mountain is quite close to the capital, so I might as well go and search there! ]
The minister, who could hear the little guy's thoughts, looked at Chu Jiaxu with admiration.
His Highness cares so much about them, they can’t let him worry for too long!
Those who couldn't hear looked confused.
Aren't we having a meal? Why are you suddenly discussing state affairs?
One of the ministers immediately objected: "Your Majesty, I think that our dynasty has not mobilized such a large force in the past few years. If we act rashly this year, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of neighboring countries."
The ministers looked thoughtful.
Although Xi Zimo did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that the country he was referring to was the Beiming Kingdom, with which they were about to go to war.
If they were really on guard...
[Pooh, pooh, pooh! My father is inspecting and deploying defenses in his own territory, why would he care about other countries? ]
[This isn't a military drill, how could it have caused Bei Ming to be on guard?! ]
[Besides, uncles are investigating the area, can't it be because my beautiful father's concubine ran off with someone?] Jiang Yingcheng was furious, but she also knew that this was a serious discussion among adults, so she didn't interrupt, but her cheeks were puffed up, and anyone could see that she was not in a very good mood.
As Jiang Yanchuan was serving the food to the Empress Dowager herself, the vegetarian meatballs rolled a few times on the wooden chopsticks and fell into the bowl of Jiang Yingcheng who was sitting between them.
He lowered his eyes to glance at the tip of Jiang Yingcheng's head and laughed out loud in anger.
I've really been accustomed to him and have no way out of my control.
The ministers: “…”
You are so filial!
They did not dare to look up at Emperor Mingze's expression, but these words helped them get out of the dead end of their thinking.
Yes, I just checked the surrounding villages and towns, how could it arouse Bei Ming's suspicion? !
It was all because Xi Zimo’s tone was too passionate, which instantly distracted them!
[Is he sick? ? ] Jiang Yingcheng was genuinely confused.
Several ministers also nodded subconsciously.
Most likely, yes.
And it's not light.
[Oh, so that’s how it is, I said it!] The young prince’s excited voice suddenly came from the main seat.
【Hehehehehehe~】
The eyes of the ministers suddenly lit up with excitement.
Although they didn't have much contact with the little princess, they all knew very well that the little princess's reaction was only because she had dug up some big news!
The brave officials raised their heads and glanced in the direction of the main seat.
Jiang Yingcheng had just stuffed the meatballs that her handsome father had dropped into her bowl into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging and she was eating very happily.
Several people were anxious.
You can eat, but can you release the news faster? !
Jiang Yingcheng chewed the meatball slowly and swallowed it, then began to concentrate on reading the information 007 sent to her.
[Wow, no wonder he didn't want his father to send people to search the surrounding area. It turns out that he hid all the money he had obtained through corruption in a manor in Quan'an County! ]
[Let me see, let me see, wow!] Jiang Yingcheng's pupils trembled, [The whole yard is full of them?!]
Her little hands unconsciously moved in the air, looking like she was counting that long string of astonishing numbers. How many digits were there: [one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, beheading, property confiscation, extermination of all nine generations!!]
The ministers also took a breath of cool air, and when they looked at Xi Zimo again, it was like a beast that had been hungry for days, staring at the fat meat in front of it!
Xi Zimo is a little greedy, but he is a good person!
Stand up and sacrifice yourself at the critical moment, and become a stepping stone for their promotion!
Minister of Revenue Jiao Hongmiao's eyes sparkled, and he started to talk nonsense: "A child of my clan went missing a few days ago. I beg Your Majesty to lend me some people to search the surrounding villages and towns!"
He didn't dare to mention such a fatal excuse, but it was just an excuse, wasn't it easy? !
Xi Zimo choked and wanted to say something else, but he couldn't find a better reason for the moment.
He looked anxiously at the young emperor sitting on the main seat.
Jiang Yanchuan was wiping his fingers with his eyes downcast with an indifferent expression. His mysterious look made it difficult to understand his attitude.
Jiao Hongmiao was calm and composed, not worrying at all that his proposal would be rejected.
That was a thief who had set his sights on the Empress Dowager. Even if Emperor Mingze was not tempted by the stolen money that was enough to exterminate nine generations of his clan, he would certainly send troops to search for him.
What's more——
Jiang Yingcheng's little face turned red with anxiety.
[Hey, why doesn't father agree yet?! ]
[Hey, why did uncle say that his own kid was missing? Couldn't it be Cheng Cheng who was missing?! ]
The more Jiang Yingcheng thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible: [How about Chengcheng running away from home? ! ]
【Ouch! 】
Jiang Yanchuan suddenly raised his hand and tapped the boy on the head: "Concentrate on eating."
If he allowed her to continue to let her wild thoughts run wild, he would end up divorced because of her fantasy.
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes were filled with shock, and he said aggrievedly, "Okay."
【Wuwuwu, father is beating Chengcheng! 】
"Lei Zhixin," Jiang Yanchuan ignored the boy's dramatic behavior and said directly, "This matter is entirely in your hands. Make sure nothing is left out."
After saying this, he glanced vaguely in the direction of the pale-faced Xi Zimo.
Facing the jealous or envious looks from his colleagues, Lei Zhixin could not help but suppress the mad smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your command!"
He announced that from today on, Her Royal Highness the Little Princess would be his, Lei Zhixin's, God!
Jiang Yingcheng was happy again.
She hugged her beautiful father's arms that were hanging at his sides and rubbed her cheek against them twice with joy.
The finest Yunjin fabric was so smooth that it made her mind wander for a moment.
[Oh, what a handsome father! What a wise decision! Such a...comfortable robe!]
【Hehehe, let Chengcheng stick with me again! 】
Jiang Xiaochihan's happiness did not last long before new troubles came knocking on his door.
[Yes, yes, Cheng Cheng is also going to draw a topographic map for Uncle General! ]
Jiang Yingcheng's debts kept growing, and even the way she looked at her elder brother Yuan was evasive and guilty.
but--
[Well, Cheng Cheng has already paid, so as long as I can't kill him, I'll just write him to death! ]
[Hehehe, Chengcheng won’t write it himself anyway! ]
At this moment, she completely identified with the words she had seen in her previous life -
[If you can't lead a team, you can only work until you die! 】
Yuan Liangping: "..."
Yuan Liangping faced the sympathetic looks from people around him and cried in the wind.
If he could go back in time, on that early morning before dawn, he would never start this evil relationship again!
