Transmigrated into the prince's only daughter, and beat up the dignitaries in the capital with

Zhengyan: “Yes!”

Listening to this voice, it is full of temper.

Song Shen and the other two were all outsiders and not close to the young lady, so they just made some simple arrangements in a pavilion in the corner of the courtyard.

Pulling down the gauze curtains of the pavilion can at least block the late autumn wind.

Song Shen and the others didn't have to wait too long before they saw the little girl leaving the house.

She seemed to have not changed her inner clothes, and was casually wrapped in a fox fur coat. Her black hair was scattered behind her back. I don't know what she said to the people around her, but her eyes were smiling and even her steps were much lighter.

She is so smart and beautiful...

"cough…"

Song Shen coughed lightly, turned around and glanced at the two people who had been staring in a daze, with a reminder and warning in his eyes.

Cui Huaixu was caught and didn't dare to look Song Shen in the eye. He was choked by his own saliva and coughed until his cheeks turned red.

On the contrary, Jiang Ling generously praised her, "The county lady looks particularly good today!"

Jiang An sat down, "Wow, you are so sweet today~"

"But what trouble has happened?"

Jiang Ling's eyes widened, with a look of 'How could you think of me like that'.

"No... absolutely not!"

Song Shen: "You didn't go to the court today. His Majesty asked you to deliver military pay to the north on behalf of the Ministry of War."

"Oh…"

"We talked a little, but it seemed His Majesty had no intention of relenting..."

Wait a minute!

Oh?

Song Shen looked at the little girl's expression of no surprise and asked, "You knew it a long time ago?"

Jiang An raised his eyes, his gaze clear, "I don't know, isn't that what you said?"

cough…

She glanced at Song Shen's eyes again and chuckled, "But... I guessed a little bit."

Song Shen felt a breath stuck in his chest, unable to relax.

"Did your majesty tell me when I should come back?"

Jiang Ling: "After the New Year, I will return to Beijing with the No. 1 and No. 3 candidates."

"Okay."

Jiang An stretched himself and said leisurely, "Then we'll see you after the New Year~"

Song Shen was unwilling to give up and grabbed Jiang An's wrist, "Do you know that if you leave, all the plans in the capital will be in vain!"

Although she was delivering military pay on behalf of others, she was not from the Ministry of War!

What's more, from Kyoto to the north...how is this different from exile?

His Majesty is clearly telling everyone in Kyoto that he no longer considers Jiang An as his confidant!

The little girl looked down at the hand holding hers, her eyes dim.

"Minister Song is thinking too much~"

That's overstepping the boundaries!

Song Shen met Jiang An's eyes and suddenly let go of his hand.

"I am the one who is anxious..."

He lowered his brows and stared at the steaming cup of tea in front of him.

This desolate look seems to be saying, aren’t they friends?

"Tsk..."

Jiang An rubbed his brows and said in a softer voice, "It's not about whether I want to leave or not, but His Majesty has already said that I should leave..."

There is an old saying that goes, thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor.

It's really stupid to disobey orders openly~

Jiang Ling: "Can't you just maneuver a little bit?"

Now that the Xie family is no longer in the court, this is such a great opportunity!

"We are all here at the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel. It seems to be clearer than before..."

"But the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Revenue, which deals with financial matters, are all still in the hands of Prime Minister Xie."

We are still a long way from truly cleansing up the court!

"Yup!"

Cui Huaixu echoed, "These days, I have been dealing with the issue of military pay with Brother Jiang, and I discovered that the military pay has been severely deducted over the past decade..."

This is not something that the Ministry of War can accomplish alone. The one that really benefits from this is the Ministry of Revenue!

"And this year's floods... caused a lot of refugees to flee to the vicinity of Kyoto. I heard about it too..."

"They say the dam was destroyed and the river water rushed into the city downstream, which caused the disaster!"

The dam was originally used to prevent the rising river water. The imperial court was concerned that the Nandi Dam had not been repaired for a long time, even though it was only repaired in recent years!

How come it was fine before but something went wrong after the repair?

Every one of these things was the work of corrupt officials!

While sipping hot tea, Jiang An listened to them recount the dirty things that happened in the court of the Southern Merchants.

When Cui Huaixu and Jiang Ling realized that the little girl didn't say a word, they felt something was wrong and shut up.

"County Lady..."

"Ok?"

The little girl looked up, as if she was a little confused, "Why don't you say anything?"

Jiang Ling moved his lips, but didn't know what to say next.

He stopped talking, and Jiang An asked Song Shen instead, "Have the new officials this year been assigned any tasks?"

Song Shen: "Some important places are short of people, so I arranged them first. The Ministry of Personnel is still considering the rest."

He thought that the girl was worried that the two young masters would be ostracized, so she didn't do the job, so he hurried to explain.

"The first and second place winners..."

Jiang An interrupted him and said, "I'm not worried about the two of them."

"What I want to say is..."

"This court is not just for me, Jiang An."

The little girl chuckled, "You three are not hungry children."

"I can't always set aside a place for you and tell you... just do what you are doing right now!"

"Everyone, you all have relatives in Kyoto, but I don't."

Jiang An's tone was very soft, but his round eyes were extremely serious.

"I miss home and want to go home to celebrate the New Year with my father. It's that simple."

"As for what you just said, it would be better to talk to His Majesty than to talk to me."

This world is his world, she has no interest in worrying about everything!

She, Jiang An, is not some saint who is ready to save the world...

The little girl said it normally, but the other three people at the table seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

Yes, she is the youngest among them.

Only twelve or thirteen years old...

Isn't it normal to miss home?

With a "swoosh", Song Shen stood up.

"Remember to tell me when you are leaving..."

After saying that, he strode away, leaving only his back to the little girl.

Cui Huaixu and Jiang Ling also stood up, looking unhappy.

"I'm sorry, I think we shouldn't tell you this..."

Jiang Ling forced a smile and said, "When you return to the North, we will see you off!"

"Then we'll... take our leave first."

People are gone...

It was quiet in the pavilion.

The little girl was still sipping tea, looking at the blurry mountains in the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qi Shanyuan came up to her and sat next to her without her noticing.

He took the breakfast from Zheng Yan and asked, "Are you angry?"

Are you angry that they just left like that?

"No."

Jiang An looked at him and smiled.

She joked: "I don't know them yet..."

"He should be going back home to write a memorial now."

Qi Shanyuan also laughed, "I'm afraid these guys will have to suffer some physical pain."

They were all raised and pampered at home. Not to mention wind and rain, even if they got hurt while walking, they had to be surrounded by servants.

All the things they just mentioned have complicated connections behind them. If we really investigate them, it will definitely be a bloody storm.

Their elders let them enter officialdom, hoping that they would have a smooth life in this wealthy place.

If I really do this, I'm afraid I won't agree...

The little girl frowned slightly and said to Yuanyuan: "My father doesn't want me to come to Kyoto, and doesn't want me to get involved in these trivial matters..."

But she still came~

Who doesn’t have the youthful spirit?

The elders all understand...

But there are some things that are useless no matter how much persuasion you give them. If one day they really get hurt, they will naturally know which path they should continue on and which path they should abandon without hesitation.
