Chapter 254 Tomorrow Illness
The next day, a routine inspection was conducted in front of the palace gates before the court session.
The officials and civil and military officials all seemed rather unhappy.
Qin Jinzhi rode her horse to the palace gate, full of high spirits.
In contrast, one side is shrouded in dark clouds, while the other is bathed in bright sunshine.
Qin Jinzhi whistled as she passed by the crowd.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Wei Cha was waiting to the side with his hands behind his back.
He walked over when he saw Qin Jinzhi come in.
"Little brat."
Qin Jinzhi looked over upon hearing the voice, "Oh, old man, you look great today."
Wei Cha asked in a low voice, "I heard from Wei Lin that you've run into some trouble?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at him, "What, are you going to solve this for me, sir?"
Wei Cha scoffed, "At crucial moments, it's up to me to step in. So, what is it?"
Qin Jinzhi laughed out loud at his arrogant expression.
"It's nothing, just that a few days ago Chidori-no-Tsukasa received evidence of crimes committed by several princes."
Wei Cha immediately frowned. "Is someone trying to destroy the foundation of the Thousand Birds Bureau?"
Once the struggle between princes is involved in officialdom, it becomes extremely complicated.
Qin Jinzhi has close ties with the royal family, and the person behind her is treacherous.
She gave a thumbs up, "Spot on."
Wei Cha's expression was somewhat solemn. "In that case, I will think of a solution."
Qin Jinzhi patted his shoulder, "No need, it's only polite to reciprocate, I'll also give something away."
Wei Cha looked at the group of ministers, then at Qin Jinzhi.
Suddenly he laughed and said, "You little devil, you never play by the rules. In that case, let me see how you resolve this crisis."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow; there was indeed a crisis.
However, she is not one of the most vulnerable people in the entire court.
Upon entering the main hall, Qin Jinzhi stood beside His Majesty.
People in the court unconsciously turned their gazes to Qin Jinzhi.
Eunuch Hong's voice rang out, "If you have something to report, speak now; if not, court is adjourned!"
The moment he uttered those words, everyone in the court felt their hearts leap into their throats.
They were afraid that someone might be foolish enough to submit the evidence.
Just as the main hall was completely quiet.
Suddenly, Qin Jinzhi, who was beside the Emperor, spoke up: "I have something to report!"
The ministers stared intently at Qin Jinzhi's face, their eyes wide as copper bells.
A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Qin Jinzhi's arrogant face as she faced the assembled officials.
Everyone screamed inwardly!
not good!
Qin Jinzhi turned around and bowed to the emperor.
"Your subject requests leave for three days."
The emperor raised an eyebrow. "Why is Commander Qin requesting leave?"
Qin Jinzhi grinned, "I will fall ill tomorrow."
The emperor's breath hitched, and he looked at Eunuch Hong.
Eunuch Hong reassured him with his eyes, "Your Majesty, this is the main hall, you cannot punish the princess!"
The emperor felt an itch to do it.
What did that little bastard say?!
Did she have precognition? Did she know she would fall ill tomorrow?
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Granted."
Qin Jinzhi bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He then turned to the assembled ministers, a broad smile on his face.
The ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.
But the fear in my heart is even deeper.
Qin Jinzhi requested a three-day leave.
They were only given three days to process the matter.
If I cannot give her a satisfactory answer in three days...
Then Qin Jinzhi would take action herself.
If we're talking about scoundrels, who in the entire capital is as scoundrel as Qin Jinzhi?
For a moment, all the ministers felt that Prime Minister Cui was being unreasonable.
Why did you provoke her?
Originally, only you, Prime Minister Cui, were unhappy.
Now, all the officials in the capital are unhappy.
After court, Qin Jinzhi went directly to the Empress's palace.
For a time, visitors to the Chidori Division and the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion came in droves.
Cui Ying looked at the various officials who were being so respectful to her from the Chidori Division and found it utterly unbelievable.
Tsk tsk tsk, it seems like only bad guys can truly defeat evil people.
Huo Tingshan, looking at the bustling crowds at the Prince's mansion with a bewildered expression, found Xue Huaiyi.
"When did our Prince's Mansion become so popular?"
Xue Huaiyi looked at him with a knowing expression.
Is it because our Prince's Mansion has good interpersonal relationships?
However, amidst the widespread panic in the capital, a major event also occurred.
The former Second Prince's wife, Lang Mingyue, became a disciple of Daoist Changfeng.
Subsequently, the first girls' school in the State of Jin was established.
Despite her exceptional literary talent, there has never been a female teacher throughout history.
Moreover, there's the White Crane Academy she founded.
Regardless of class or background, girls could enter the girls' school.
Noble families would not allow their daughters to lower their status.
The common people also felt that it was of little use for women to study.
Just when everyone thought that the White Crane Academy would never be established.
Qin Jinzhi sent people to deliver gifts with great fanfare, accompanied by gongs and drums.
What they gave away weren't jade ornaments or the Four Treasures of the Study.
It is a painting and calligraphy work by Qin Jinzhi.
On the second day after Baihe Academy was founded, the first batch of students was already full.
Qin Jinzhi lived a life of leisure in the palace, indulging in food and drink.
The Queen is personally pruning the potted plants.
Qin Jinzhi was lying on the soft couch behind her, eating fruit.
The Empress smiled and said, "Those officials are in a real panic right now."
Qin Jinzhi had one foot resting on the knee of the other leg.
One hand is behind his head.
"If spectators are pushed onto the stage, how can they not panic?"
The queen cut off a crooked branch.
"Are we just going to leave them hanging like this?"
Qin Jinzhi took a bite of fruit and said, "These people will learn their lesson if we don't hurry."
The Empress smiled. "Your imperial grandfather asked me to ask you how to handle this situation."
Qin Jinzhi sat up and looked at the Empress with a smile, "Granddaughter, I have now entered the officialdom. Do you know what the most distinctive feature of the officialdom is, Grandmother?"
The queen smiled and cut off another slanted branch that shouldn't have been on the main trunk.
What is it?
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Of course it's officials protecting each other. You protect me, I protect you, and we both deceive our superiors and cover up the truth."
The Empress laughed heartily upon hearing this, "If that old geezer hears this, he'll definitely beat you up."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Grandmother, we're on the same side."
The Empress nodded. "Yes, that old geezer has one himself."
Qin Jinzhi threw the leftover fruit pits aside.
The charges have been established, so of course someone needs to take the blame.
Since even important figures are protecting each other.
When problems arise, it's natural that ordinary people take the blame.
The political landscape in the court is complex and intertwined; everyone has a few capable subordinates.
They are useful henchmen when there is nothing to do.
When something goes wrong, they become the perfect scapegoat.
Prime Minister Cui wanted all the officials in the capital to get involved, making her the target of everyone's criticism.
Then she used that force against her.
Those who engage in magical combat without reason have vanished into thin air.
Their left and right arms were cut off.
Moreover, the status of prominent families in the capital is currently unstable.
There are countless powerful families vying for power.
Qin Jinzhi didn't even need to lift a finger.
Prime Minister Cui must be overwhelmed with these matters by now.
Qin Jinzhi was in the palace for the third day.
The ladies of the court all appeared in the Empress's palace.
On their way to the reception room of the Jiaofang Palace, the ladies saw Princess Jinzhi, who was on sick leave, playing shuttlecock with a young palace maid.
This wasn't their first time entering the palace.
However, this was actually his first time participating in politics.
After the Empress received the ladies.
Princess Jinzhi has finally recovered from her illness.
