Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

It can be seen that Emperor Xiwen really carefully selected the beauties he sent to him.

Good looking.

They are all legitimate children, and there is no dirty stuff in the family.

Although they have different personalities, they are all good and are all of marriageable age and looking for a partner.

If Fan Muyin is like the peach blossoms in April on the green hills, and Wang Yu is like the gorgeous and charming red double-petal camellia, then the other three on the imperial edict -

Jiang Wenyan, the son of the director of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Works, is just like a lotus emerging from the water amidst the rain and fog.

Ding Ning, the son of the chief clerk of the Honglu Temple, is like a man sitting by a creek, listening to the gurgling sound of the water and looking back to see an orchid in the valley.

Xie Weiqiu, the son of the Director of the Ministry of Rites' Department of Sacrifices and Officials, is undoubtedly a heavyweight among heavyweights, just like a blood-red plum blossom standing on a branch, trembling in full bloom amidst a world covered in silver.

There is a touch of nobility in her charm.

That waist that could probably be held with one hand, those narrow, slightly drooping eyes...

Tsk~

Wait a minute!

Why does this sound familiar?

"Hahaha~"

003 couldn't help laughing, "Host sister, you just tried to matchmake her sister. Now, Xie Weiting will become your sister-in-law!"

"Host sister, there is also a melon about Xie Weiqiu."

666 immediately followed up, "Xie Weiqiu was originally intended by Emperor Huang Zheng to be left to a certain princess, but Emperor Xiwen sent him directly to your residence."

Shu Jiao: ...

She said Xie Weiqiu's family background sounded so familiar.

So he is Xie Weiting’s younger brother.

Good guy~

This is really a combination of the best qualities of his parents. Xie Weiting doesn't have such a good appearance.

"Well~ our Seventh Sister is so reliable, I can't be a slacker, right?"

Shu Jiao has already thought about what gift to give to Emperor Xiwen in return.

After the rest period was over, Shu Jiao went back to court.

There is really no point in going to court.

Shu Jiao stood there and started to form a group, eating melons and chatting with 666 and 003, and everyone was forced to follow suit.

Now these court officials are already quite experienced.

They were perfectly capable of multitasking, dealing with Emperor Xiwen while thinking about their own affairs, and keeping an ear open to Shu Jiao's gossip.

Don't say it.

There are still some points to gossip.

For example, a certain minister repeatedly spent hundreds or thousands of taels of silver to buy paintings.

Everyone: Yes, it’s corruption, let’s investigate.

For example, the daughter of a certain minister sold her own belongings and bought high-quality imitations to pass off as the real thing.

Minister XX: Very good, I will beat my daughter when I get back.

It is no exaggeration to say that ever since Shu Jiao came into the world, the entire capital city has been filled with “loving mothers and filial daughters” and “wonderful kings and virtuous ministers”.

Recently, there have been a lot more cries heard from families in Beijing.

Royal is no exception.

Upon learning that his daughters were eyeing his throne, Emperor Xiwen not only cut off their paths to the throne, but also summoned them to the palace every now and then and beat them up for any reason.

Don't say it.

Don't even say it.

Perhaps because they had found a vent for their anger, these ministers and Emperor Xiwen became more and more energetic day by day.

The only problem is that no one wants to go to court.

When I go to court, I will meet Shu Jiao.

You have to be terrified to meet Shu Jiao. When she eats other people's melons, you can watch the fun happily, but when she eats her own melons, you really can't laugh at all.

The battle for the throne was forced to end before it even began, and the princesses were full of resentment towards Shu Jiao.

But when she saw how protective Emperor Xiwen was of her...

That's it.

This woman is a koi carp beast that came down to transcend tribulation. She and her mother the Queen are old friends from heaven.

In the Queen Mother's heart, these daughters who have only been together for twenty years cannot compare to the old friends who have been together for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

If they fight with others, aren't they just asking for trouble?

Today is just like any other day.

Shu Jiao started to eat melons with 003 and 666 again.

The whole hall was filled with the glory of melon.

Everyone: Stop feeding me, I can’t eat anymore!

I really can’t eat anymore!

Now every family has been exposed, with nothing left but their true colors and no fig leaf left.

In the past, when the scandal in my family was exposed, I felt ashamed to face my colleagues.

Now: Who cares?

Everyone is dirty, so no one should make fun of anyone else.

They tacitly signed a rule of not making fun of each other, not mocking each other, and not attacking each other.

"I have decided to send troops!"

Shu Jiao was chatting excitedly when she heard this. She was stunned for a moment, "What did they say just now?"

"There's a war to be fought."

003 responded, "Emperor Xiwen is preparing to send troops north to attack the Mok Royal Court."

Generally speaking, when the Central Plains dynasties sent troops north to fight against nomadic peoples, they would deliberately avoid the autumn when there was abundant grass and water, because the nomadic peoples were the most powerful at that time.

Although it is late summer and early autumn now, it is too hot and the grassland resources are probably not as abundant as before.

It’s not that we can’t fight.

Shu Jiao: ???

Is this part of the original plot?

Nope.

But Shu Jiao reacted quickly.

Emperor Xiwen was not bad in both civil and military affairs. She pretended to be a god, so Emperor Xiwen believed that she was destined to be an extraordinary person. She was so confident that she dared to act recklessly against the nomadic peoples who were a little afraid of her.

In addition, during this period of time, he kept revealing secrets, giving Emperor Xiwen an excuse to clean out some disobedient ministers.

Her control over the court became stronger and stronger, and this state of being able to control it as if it were her own arm made her even more satisfied and proud.

So~

Should I put the blame on myself?

Do not!

Shu Jiao shook her head. She refused to take the blame.

Anyway, she was just eating melons, what did she do wrong?

Upon hearing that a war was about to begin, the group of military officers who were full of energy but had nothing to do became excited and immediately spoke out in support.

The civil servants began to stop them.

The Minister of Revenue stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has no money."

"It's hot this year. I heard that there is a serious shortage of water and food on the grassland. There is news from the northwest that there have been several records of foreigners buying food in our dynasty. Your Majesty! This is a godsend opportunity!"

General: Fight quickly!

Without a war, how can we demonstrate our effectiveness?

"Your Majesty, there is no money."

The Minister of Revenue said, "Because of the hot weather, the emperor has repeatedly reduced taxes. Not long ago, he also distributed salaries to various places, as well as drought relief silver to several major prefectures..."

The question is, I don’t have money.

Do you want to fight?

Yes. Pay for it yourself. The Ministry of Revenue cannot allocate even a penny now.

"Your Majesty! This opportunity cannot be missed! The Mok Royal Court is a threat to our dynasty!"

"I agree. Once the Mok Royal Court recovers, they will surely march south in large numbers to burn, kill and plunder in order to alleviate the losses caused by this drought! We should take precautions before it happens!"

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate! Our treasury is empty and we don't have any extra money or grain. Moreover, the people are still suffering from the heat disaster. How can we..."

No one expected that after this year's harvest, the south would continue to be extremely hot for several days.

There is no sign of rain so far.

If this continues, the grain that has just been harvested will have to be distributed as disaster relief food soon. Where will there be any extra grain to use for the war?

"Isn't it just about the rain and the money?"

Shu Jiao's voice sounded particularly pleasant amid the quarrels of the ministers.

Ministers:! ! !

From the tone of voice, it seems like the problem can be easily solved.

Yup!

How could they forget this true God? ! ! !
