Chapter 553 Huo Changming was taken to work
While laughing, he was accidentally caught by the real owner who came back home.
Jiang An immediately stopped baring his teeth and ran to Shan Yuan and Xing Sang. "How is it? Is being an official fun?"
Qi Shanyuan placed his hand on the little girl's head and manually changed her direction.
Jiang An’s smile is so bright that it’s a bit blinding…
"Huh?" The little girl pouted, looking unhappy.
"younger sister!"
Outside the courtyard, Huo Changming, with a sunny and optimistic face, almost ran over.
He shook the food box in his hand, obviously he had found something good in Kyoto again.
"Tsk..."
It would be fine if the girl was more carefree, but how could he be so idle!
On the first day of work, Qi Shanyuan and Li Xingsang began to feel unbalanced.
Huo Changming belatedly touched his neck and felt a chilly wind blowing.
Qi Shanyuan stared at Jiang Ling who was joining in the fun nearby, and said in a cold tone, "I heard that the West City Camp is still short of a general?"
Jiang Ling was stunned. When he looked into his eyes, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet when he saw those gentle eyes.
He swallowed and nodded honestly, "My father did say that..."
His father, the general, was in charge of the camp west of the city, which was indeed lacking a brave and capable general.
Many times he grumbled in his house that it was boring for someone like the county princess to be an official, and that she should join the army... that was the way to 'make the best use of things'!
Li Xingsang sat down leisurely, "I must go to Brother Jiang's house someday to pay a proper visit to my uncle."
Jiang Ling: "Ah?"
No, why is he uncle?
Did the relationship become closer so quickly?
After that day, Jiang An seldom saw Shan Yuan and Xing Sang in his house. One was busy with the affairs of foreign envoys coming to Beijing, and the other was busy cleaning up the mess. It was already early for them to return home before curfew, and most of the time they lived directly in their respective posts.
However, ever since they entered the court as officials, the little girl has been in a much better mood during the morning court sessions.
Because she doesn't need to take any action at all. Once Shanyuan and Xingsang take action, no one in the entire Golden Palace will have an easy time!
Even the prime minister, who had completed his mourning period, was criticized several times.
Now, all the officials would avoid them when they saw them!
Jiang An even felt like going to the morning court with a handful of fruit...
In the Golden Palace, one could hear the two of them making all the officials speechless, accompanied by the 'crunching, crunching' sound of the little girl, like a hamster.
His Majesty looked at her coldly several times. If looks could kill, Jiang An would feel like a thousand arrows pierced her heart!
Minister Li stood next to her and kept sweating.
On the other hand, the little girl calmly held out her palm filled with fruits to him, "Old Li, do you want to eat?"
Mr. Li: ...
"Master Wu, do you want to eat?"
Wu Heting: I’m really impressed!
After court was dismissed, the palace maid who was sweeping the floor looked at the small pile of fruit peels and fell into deep thought.
In front of the palace gate, the little girl did not forget to ask Niangniang to tell her brother that she wanted to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts at the morning court tomorrow!
Nianniang took the people to the carriage, and there was a smile in her eyes as if she remembered something.
"I'm afraid Young Master Huo won't be able to prepare food for Miss tomorrow, so let Zhengyan go buy it for her."
"Hey, why?"
The little girl lifted the curtain, revealing a pair of round eyes.
"Young Master Huo was summoned by the general to the city's west camp and his property was confiscated..."
I heard that the general went to His Majesty to cry and said that he was old... and had no capable generals to help him, and he was so tired that he couldn't even get into bed.
His Majesty then issued an order appointing Huo Changming as the general of the west city camp.
Otherwise, given your Majesty's petty mind, how can the people from the North be allowed to gain even more power?
Nianniang added, "The day before yesterday, Young Master Qi and Young Master Li followed Jiang Ling to visit the General's Mansion..."
Oh mo!
Jiang An smiled with glee.
I guess her brother is going to make trouble with Xing Sang again~
There’s something good to watch!
Thank you,
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Xie Si was so angry that he was breathing heavily, grabbing his subordinates by the collar, with a look in his eyes that looked like he wanted to eat them. There was no trace of the calmness and composure of a prime minister at all.
"The eldest... the eldest master said he would not come back."
"He said that the Xie family is not acting like a minister, and they want to be the emperor but cannot defeat the Jiang family. If this continues for a long time, it will only deplete the family's century-old foundation."
He did not return to Beijing, nor did he want to get involved in these disputes anymore.
The subordinate who answered knelt on the ground, banging his head heavily on the bluestone bricks, not daring to look at Xie Si's expression at all.
Xie Si was so angry that he kicked the man and said, "You guys don't need to ask his wishes, even if you have to tie him up... you have to bring him back to me!"
"master!"
The subordinate was sweating profusely, "The Zhenguo Palace is like an iron barrel. We can't get in at all."
There was no one guarding the school where the young master usually attended classes, but he was unwilling to go with them!
"Master said that Jiang An had said... that he would not be allowed to leave the Northland for the next ten years."
"We just moved around Chongzhou more frequently. As soon as we left the city, we were chased and killed. I was a team of ten people... and now only I am back!"
He was the only child left behind on purpose, and he came back to pass on the message.
Even if you are lucky enough to leave Chongzhou, if you want to go to Kyoto, you must pass through the borders of the other two states in the north.
This person...can’t be taken away at all!
The Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer what it used to be. He has spent so much manpower and resources just to bring back a young man whose heart is not in Kyoto. What do his subordinates think?
Will they still follow the Prime Minister's Mansion wholeheartedly?
We are all human beings, we have families and homes, and we also have to live!
Of course, as a subordinate, he would never dare to say the following words.
If I tell it, my master will think I am disloyal.
Xie Si is the most scheming person, how could he not know that?
He had not attended court for a long time, and the officials of the six ministries were cut down by the little girl, leaving only the Ministry of Rites. The Empress Dowager and the Queen were at odds with the Prime Minister's Office because of the matter of Old Tutor Xie.
The rumors in Kyoto have not yet died down, and the people in the mansion don't even dare to go out on weekdays!
The business of the Xie family's side branch was also affected, and they would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to cause trouble from time to time...
There is such a rebellious son!
The more Xie Si thought about it, the more his head hurt. His eyes rolled back and he passed out.
"master!"
The subordinate screamed, and the door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and the eavesdropping Prime Minister's wife rushed in.
For a moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion became even more chaotic.
The next day, as expected...Shays took a leave of absence.
Not only the second day, but also the third day... on the fourth day, as envoys from other countries were about to arrive in the capital, Xie Si still did not attend the court.
Unlike the past when the court was controlled by the Xie family, now even without Prime Minister Xie Si, the court still functions properly.
Each of the six ministries has a backbone, and these ministers and vice ministers are all headed by the little girl.
Xie family is gone...
Qi Shanyuan asked Jiang An why he kept the Xie family instead of eradicating them completely.
The little girl has the prince's help and has gathered countless intelligence in the secret organization. He doesn't believe that there is no evidence of the Xie family's crimes.
Jiang An just said that the time is not right...
What she wanted was never to eliminate just the Xie family.
