Chapter 33 The cold-blooded and short-lived emperor vs. the surrogate princess 33
With her goal in mind, Qu Xinyue changed her previous laziness, sat upright, looked down at the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and asked with pretense of disdain.
"I have never had contact with you ministers before. I always thought that you are the pillars of the country. What I saw today makes me very disappointed."
Qu Xinyue's contemptuous eyes and disdainful tone were not very harmful but extremely insulting.
Upon hearing this, the faces of all the ministers turned the color of pig liver, and the older ones almost fainted on the spot.
They wanted to yell, but they didn't dare.
After all, Qu Xinyue is now the imperial concubine who has been awarded the royal ultimatum.
As a result, the ministers all had gloomy faces, and the ministers not far from Mr. Qu did not forget to give Mr. Qu a fierce look.
The fault of a son for not teaching his father is all Master Qu's fault.
Lord Qu: ...I shouldn’t be here, I should be underground.
Qu Xinyue sneered again, looked at the many ministers whose faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot, and asked lightly.
"What? You don't think what I'm saying is right?"
The ministers remained silent and protested silently to Qu Xinyue.
Qu Xinyue didn't want to continue arguing with the ministers. She was only one person with one mouth, and she was not stupid. She wanted to argue with dozens of people?
She still spoke to herself and continued to attack indiscriminately.
"The Emperor is wise and powerful. Since the Emperor ascended the throne, every decree issued has been unfavorable to the country and the people. The Emperor brought me to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Do you think you are more far-sighted than the Emperor?"
Although many ministers were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say that they were wiser than the emperor.
After all, it turns out that none of their ten ministers are as good as the emperor.
Qu Xinyue saw the ministers' eyes widening with anger at the insults, but she did not dare to refute. Her red lips curled up slightly and she continued to insult people at her own pace.
"Since you all think that the emperor is wiser and wiser than you, why do you do things from the commanding heights of the Pope?"
Ministers: ...I have nothing to say...=???
The ministers were dumbfounded and stared at Qu Xinyue as she talked eloquently, her confidence shining brightly.
Even officials who get their salary by mouth are willing to be inferior and behave like a quail.
The imperial concubine's mouth, whoever criticizes her will suffer.
All the ministers saw that the officials who could usually make the other party cry were now eager to become invisible when facing the emperor's noble concubine.
They suddenly became emo.
Even the public officials shun his sharp edge. If these stupid people come forward, won't they be beaten to pieces by the imperial concubine?
Qu Xinyue looked around at the crowd and sneered lightly: "You seem to be very unconvinced?"
Ministers: I am very angry, but there is nothing I can do to her!
Qu Xinyue shook her head and asked slowly.
"You receive so much salary from the court every year, but you only focus on the emperor's harem and forget about the people. This makes me wonder how you became an official at that time."
This sentence is not harsh.
It is a direct attack on the minister's official morality.
The underlying vernacular is that you ignore the people of the world and stare at the emperor every day to find trouble. What do you want to do?
The ministers' faces turned red and blue. When fundamental interests were involved, the ministers could no longer hold back.
If these words really make the concubine understand clearly, they can even take off their official uniforms.
"My dear concubine, I have worked hard and dedicated myself to the imperial court to death. You cannot erase the merits of the low minister and convict the low minister just because the noble concubine talks empty words!"
"That's right, my dear concubine, I am a loyal old minister. I can learn from the sun and the moon, and the heaven and the earth can represent me. I don't accept the concubine's rebuke!"
……
The Taifu also stood up and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to die for the country. I have been an official for fifty-three years. I think I am open-minded. I wonder what the explanation of the concubine's reprimand just now is?"
The emperor also looked at Qu Xinyue, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
Yue'er has stirred up a honeycomb and offended all the ministers in the court.
Just when Qi Guantuo frowned and was thinking about how to help Qu Xinyue finish, the pleasant female voice sounded again.
"Excuse me, ministers, do you know how much rice is today?"
The topic changed so quickly that the ministers didn't know what Qu Xinyue meant by asking.
Their eyes fell on Zuo Cheng, who was in charge of the household officials.
I hope Zuo Cheng dares to confront the imperial concubine so that they can feel proud for once.
Since the imperial concubine entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they have not defeated the imperial concubine once. This time they asked Zuo Cheng about his major, they should be able to turn around!
Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Revenue came out and frowned. He didn't know the price of food today.
"Back to the imperial concubine, the food prices are summarized and reported every hundred days. I only know the food prices a hundred days ago."
Qu Xinyue nodded and said, "Twenty cents per catty today."
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Qu Xinyue continued: "Three days ago, it was eighteen cents per catty, ten days ago fifteen cents per catty, and two months ago ten cents per catty."
After hearing this, the ministers suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Qu Xinyue's voice was like a slap on everyone's face.
Just now they said they were not just looking for trouble with the emperor and not caring about the people of the world, but now the imperial concubine told them that in just two months, the amount of rice grains had more than doubled!
Qi Guantuo also had a dark face. These few articles didn't seem like much to them, but what about the common people?
A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest. Food is related to people's livelihood and should not be underestimated!
He looked at Qu Xinyue: "Yue'er lives deep in the harem, how can she know the increase in food prices?"
Qu Xinyue curled her eyelashes.
"Miaozhu likes gossip the most. I have nothing to do in Luoxia Palace every day, so I ask Miaozhu to tell me about things outside the palace every day."
"A few days ago, I heard Miaozhu talking about a dispute between a grain buyer and the merchant in a grain store over the price of grain. She found it interesting and asked Miaozhu to continue to pay attention to the price of grain, and then tell me about it."
Qi Guantuo was startled for a moment. He didn't expect Yue'er to have such a keen political vision.
He suddenly became excited and felt a sense of pride in his heart. She was indeed the woman he liked, she was so different.
I believe that if he pays more attention to his teachings, Yue'er will be able to handle government affairs with ease in the future.
Qi Guantuo ordered Manager Wei in a deep voice: "Go and check now."
Manager Wei quickly took the order and left, arranging for people to leave the palace and go to the shops to inquire about the latest rice prices.
Qu Xinyue didn't know that Qi Guantuo planned to let her participate in politics in the future, and just wanted to use her prophet to help Qi Guantuo.
She looked at the ministers again and asked, "Where is Supervisor Si Jin?"
The officials in charge of water transportation did not dare to delay and rushed out. Just now, the imperial concubine slapped the Ministry of Revenue in the face over the grain premium issue.
Supervisor Si Jin's attitude became visibly respectful, and his tone was much more humble: "I am serving as Supervisor Si Jin. May I ask what your Majesty wants to ask?"
Qu Xinyue asked: "It has been the rainy season recently. Has Si Jin Supervisor measured the rise in the water level in the Huaijiang Canal?"
Supervisor Si Jin became happy. What a meeting!
"Reporting to your Majesty, the measured water level of the Huaijiang Canal has recently risen by eight feet and eight inches. Recently, many large cargo ships have sailed. The rising water level is really conducive to transportation."
Qu Xinyue nodded, without any joy on his face, looked at the ministers, and asked a fatal question.
"Since the water level of the canal has risen, the water surface has widened, making it easier for navigation, and the number of cargo ships has also increased accordingly. So, I would like to ask you, shouldn't the rice in Kyoto be a surplus and overstocked commodity, so small profits should be made but quick turnover? Why is it priced at a premium?"
One question left all the ministers speechless.
Qi Guantuo also scanned the ministers with his sharp eyes, looking for an explanation.
At this time, the people who went to Fangshi to inquire about the price of rice also came back. After receiving the news, Manager Wei stepped forward to report it.
