Chapter 26 General Dingbei? It's the emperor!
The girl's voice was soft.
Obviously this question is simpler, so Old Master Qiao asked in surprise, "Why don't you know?"
Jiujiu held his head high.
"Because not all of that silver will go to the people. For example, if my mother gave me five cents to buy soy sauce, I would be very familiar with the aunt at the grain store, and I could buy a pot with four cents, so I could save one cent to buy myself some candy."
With just a few simple sentences, we can draw an analogy for the corruption in official circles.
The money for disaster relief was passed down layer by layer, but was withheld by officials at several levels and colluded with each other. By the time it reached the hands of the victims, they were lucky if they could get half of it.
It’s amazing that such a young child has such insights.
Qiao Menghan became interested and asked, "In your opinion, is there any way to solve it?"
Jiujiu scratched his head, moved closer to the old man, and whispered, "If mother needs soy sauce, just ask the store owner to send it over, and that will solve the problem."
Ji Qingwu didn't hear what she said, but saw Mr. Qiao smiling with satisfaction.
Then he gave his own judgment: "This child is a talented and intelligent person with a keen insight into the world."
Ji Qingwu felt relieved, took a step forward and asked, "Master Qiao, did Jiujiu pass the entrance test?"
Qiao Menghan no longer had a stern face, took out a wooden sign, and said with a smile: "You will officially come to the study room tomorrow, but you can come and sit in today."
Ji Qingwu looked steadily at the old man with gray hair in front of him and bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Mr. Qiao."
The old man changed his serious expression and said with a smile: "Xiaowu, why don't you call me grandpa."
Qiao's father was Qiao Menghan, the prince's tutor of the current dynasty. The Qiao family had four sons and one daughter, and Qiao was the youngest daughter.
"Grandfather, I'm not trying to avoid suspicion." Ji Qingwu smiled sweetly.
Qiao Menghan nodded. This granddaughter behaved according to the rules. He sighed and said, "Come home and visit us when you have time. Your grandmother misses you very much."
Old Master Qiao led Jiujiu in. Ji Qingwu looked at the little figure reluctantly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Ms. Ji."
A voice came from behind, it turned out to be the young eunuch Xiaodongzi.
"If you are ready to return home, I will move this chair back to the palace first."
Ji Qingwu thought about where the chair came from and thanked him awkwardly, "Thank you, eunuch."
Xiao Dongzi was at the door just now, and heard the conversation between the emperor and Li Zongguan. He said cleverly: "If Miss Ji wants to thank someone, she should go and thank His Majesty in person."
"Can......"
Xiao Dongzi advised: "You have been granted a seat today, and everyone is staring at you. Now is the right time to go and express your gratitude."
Ji Qingwu walked to the door of the Qinzheng Hall and looked at the half-open red door. Her legs began to go weak.
She stood there and said in embarrassment: "Eunuch, I will come again in the future. It is better to come to thank you next time. I am afraid that I will disturb His Majesty from handling government affairs now."
Xiao Dongzi said disapprovingly: "Miss Ji, you are already here, just go in."
Ji Qingwu thought about it again and again, then shrank back: "Let's do it another day."
When she wanted to escape, the door was pushed open.
Li Yuzong lowered his voice and scolded: "What are you making noise at the door? His Majesty is reviewing memorials. Watch your heads!"
As soon as he saw that the other person was Ji Qingwu, he immediately stopped talking.
At this time, Xiao Dongzi lowered his eyebrows and replied docilely: "Eunuch Li, it was Miss Ji who insisted on seeing His Majesty."
Ji Qingwu:?
Did she? Isn't it against her will to say this...
When Li Yuzong heard that it was she who wanted to see him, he quickly went back inside the door and ran to report, his movements faster than the gray rabbit in the field.
Ji Qingwu:? ? ?
Let her explain what will happen...
This time, the knife was at her neck, and she couldn't retreat.
Ji Qingwu lowered her head and followed Manager Li carefully into the hall.
There was incense burning in the Qinzheng Hall. She didn't know what the scent was, but it was refreshing, refreshing and pleasant.
Ji Qingwu knelt down and bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
She didn't dare to look up, but lay quietly on the ground, waiting for the person on the high seat to call her.
Ji Qingwu's neck began to ache after not hearing any sound for a long time.
"Get up."
There was no trace of ripple in his tone.
Ji Qingwu stood up. Because she had been kneeling for too long, the hem of her skirt was wrinkled. She wanted to reach out and smooth it out, but she didn't dare to move. Her brows furrowed.
"Miss Ji Wu, what are you dissatisfied with me?"
A deep voice came from not far away, and Ji Qingwu answered carefully: "Your Majesty, I am here to express my gratitude, how can I be dissatisfied?"
Emperor Wu Su's throne had five steps, and he looked down at the woman standing in the hall.
The last time I saw her, she was soaking wet, trembling and kneeling on the ground, like a crabapple flower that had been beaten to pieces by a rainstorm.
Today, her beautiful figure is covered up, her clothes are neat, her exposed neck curves beautifully, and her white earlobes make the jade hairpin on her head look earthy.
Emperor Wu Su waved his hand, signaling everyone in the hall to leave.
Although Ji Qingwu did not look up, he saw from the corner of his eye that the palace maids and eunuchs around him bowed and retreated.
She followed too?
Ji Qingwu also moved her feet and said softly, "I'll take my leave." As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that the gaze above her head was getting stronger.
"I didn't ask you to leave. Look up and talk."
Ji Qingwu's palms were sweaty and she took a deep breath.
When I looked up, I saw a pair of starry eyes, which were so deep that I couldn't see the bottom of it.
he......
he?
he!
Exactly the same as the cold and stern man in her memory!
His brows are strong, his eyes are like cold stars, his figure is graceful and handsome, and his expression is as clear as a god. At this moment, he carries the aura of a king who is feared by all the world.
Almost at the same moment, a shrill buzzing sound rang in Ji Qingwu's ears.
"Come forward."
There was a hint of something special in Emperor Wu Su's tone that was hard to tell.
But Ji Qingwu's mind was blank and she could not notice anything. She subconsciously followed the man's instructions, stepped onto the stairs with light steps and walked closer.
She wanted to cry but couldn't.
Isn’t this man the General Dingbei from whom she intends to stay as far away as possible?
How come he has become God after just a few years of absence?
ah? Is it so easy to become an emperor?
Ji Qingwu saw the thick Panlong Pillar nearby and thought that if he ran into it head-on, he might die more quickly.
Emperor Wu Su was very patient and did not rush her.
The woman's face was pale, as if she was very scared.
Her watery eyes looked as if tears were about to fall. She lightly lifted her foot and stepped onto the stairs. Her skirt trembled with every step.
The soft blue clouds broke into petals.
Ji Qingwu walked to a place one meter away from Emperor Wu Su and barely stood still.
The unique ambergris belonging to the emperor reached her nose, and her slender nose moved uneasily.
Ji Qingwu, who had thought of a hundred ways to die in his mind, decided to fight for a chance of survival in order to avoid becoming a miserable human pig.
Just as she was thinking of her apology and was about to kneel down to apologize.
"What are you here to thank for?"
