Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei took the lead and rushed to the front. "Bring the arrows."

With a long arrow in hand, he aimed and shot. The arrow flew out like the wind and hit the center of the plaque of the Ministry of Revenue's Baoquan Bureau.

With a clang, the plaque fell down, just a body length away from the officials who were running out, and it brushed past their bodies and fell heavily to the ground.

The frightened officials turned pale and stared blankly at the plaque that had been broken into seven or eight pieces.

If this hits your head, you'll be half dead.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was furious. "Princess Jingning, you are so bold. How dare you break into the Ministry of Revenue? And you even smashed the signboard... Don't mess around. Put down your bow and arrow."

Ning Zhiwei pointed the arrow at him, his face turned green and he was terrified. This county lady was really fooling around.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, my archery skills are average and my accuracy is not very good."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue became even more nervous, okay?

If she fails, will the emperor kill her to pay for her life? Impossible.

"If you have something to say, say it well. If you have something to say, say it well."

Ning Zhiwei played with his bow and arrow, his eyes were extremely cold, "Let me ask you one question, why do you cut the Northwest Army's pay by two-thirds? The soldiers at the border are starving, and yet they still have to fight. Do you still have a conscience?"

The Minister of Revenue knew her intention and sighed helplessly. "Princess Jingning, this is not our fault. We spent all the money on your coming-of-age party, so we have to let the soldiers at the border suffer."

Look, it's all Ning Zhiwei's fault, it's all her fault.

Ning Zhiwei sneered. He clearly had ulterior motives, but he acted so innocent. "Who spread this news? Was it the Emperor's order?"

"This..." The Minister of Revenue hesitated.

Ning Zhiwei coldly pointed the arrow at him again, with a hint of murderous intent, "Speak."

Her aura was too strong. The Minister of Revenue was a little confused, his eyes rolling, "It's the palace's intention."

Ning Zhiwei understood what was said, and it seemed that the Ministry of Revenue did not have such authority.

But it shouldn't be an explicit order from the emperor, it could be either a hint or someone else.

Everyone in the palace is a troublemaker. They are scheming against each other and fighting for power. There is never a moment of peace.

"Okay, I won't hold a coming-of-age party. I don't care about these empty names. I'll spend all the money on the soldiers. It's not easy for them. They have been stationed at the border for many years, exposed to wind and rain, and endure hardships. They are always facing the danger of death. Once they go to the battlefield, they are ready not to come back."

"You don't care about the lives of soldiers at the border, but I do."

"My Lords, we cannot let those heroes who defend our land shed blood and tears."

The officials were silent and sighed silently.

It has to be said that Princess Jingning has a bad temper, but she has a broad mind and a compassionate heart.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had a stern face and said woodenly, "Princess Jingning, the money has already been spent..."

Is this something he can decide?

Ning Zhiwei interrupted impatiently, "The banquet will not be held. Return the money for all the things you bought. If you can't return them, sell them."

"By the way, bring me the expense list. I want to see how much the coming-of-age banquet cost. Haha, it took up two-thirds of the Northwest Army's military pay."

The Minister of Revenue felt nervous and refused subconsciously, "There is no such rule."

Ning Zhiwei was such a smart person that he could tell there was something wrong at first glance. "Can't you take it out? Or are you afraid to take it?"

Embezzlement? Corruption?

MD, these people are so inhumane that they put the blame on her.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue became even more panicked when he saw her expression changing all the time. This woman was so bold that she even dared to beat the drum to report the incident.

"Jingning County Lady, we don't have this authority, please don't embarrass us."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him for a long while, then suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Let's go, don't blame me if there are any consequences."

The Minister of Revenue was nervous, "What... do you want to do?"

Ning Zhiwei ignored him and left with his men.

As soon as she left, all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue immediately gathered around the Minister of Revenue and stared at the plaque that was broken into seven or eight pieces.

"She's not going to beat the drum again, is she?"

They never want to experience that terrible moment again.

That time, so many people were killed.

"No, no, it won't."

Phoenix Building is located in the most prosperous area, with a constant flow of people.

At this moment, a high platform was built opposite, attracting countless passers-by to stop and watch. What happened?

A light figure appeared on the high platform and said loudly, "Dear fellow villagers, can you stop and listen to me for a few words?"

As soon as she appeared, she caused countless excited screams. "Ahhh, it's the Princess of Jingning County."

"Princess Jingning, please tell me, please tell me."

Everyone was so happy that they could see Princess Jingning from such a close distance.

The cheers from the audience were deafening, and every face was sincere and enthusiastic. Ning Zhiwei looked at them intently.

No matter how the people above fight, in the end, it is the ordinary people who get hurt.

In the previous life, the capital city was captured, the enemy army burned, killed and looted, the capital city became a living hell, and countless innocent people were brutally killed.

"First of all, thank you for attending the funeral of my Ning family's deceased son. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the Ning family members."

Ning Zhiwei bowed solemnly.

The people were stunned and deeply moved. They had never seen a noble person pay them a salute before! And it was a great salute!

As expected of a Ning family member!

I love her more, what should I do?

"No, Princess, no, the Ning family will die to protect our people. What we did is insignificant."

"We will never forget the Ning family's contribution to the defense of the northwest for two hundred years. Countless Ning family members fought and died on the battlefield."

"The Ning family lived gloriously and died magnificently. We will always remember those soldiers who sacrificed their lives."

Looking at the people with tears in their eyes, Ning Zhiwei felt a dull pain in her heart. These simple and kind people,

If possible, she hopes to protect these people.

"Well said, it is because of you lovely people that our Ning family has lost many descendants, and we have never regretted it."

"Here, let me tell you something. In the name of holding a coming-of-age banquet for me, the imperial court cut the military expenses of the soldiers at the northwest border by two-thirds."

"The coming-of-age banquet is the emperor's grace, and I am grateful in my heart. However, if the military funds used are for the soldiers at the border, I would rather not hold it."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion below.

"I heard about this a few days ago, and was still speaking up for the soldiers at the border. I didn't expect the county lady didn't know about it before."

"The county lady is righteous. I told you so. How could the Ning family only care about their own enjoyment and not care about the lives of their soldiers?"

"This is our Princess Jingning, who is kind and considerate of the people."

Don't mention how excited we are.

In the dark, a group of Jinyiwei were guarding, and the man in black clothes at the head of the group had a slightly frown on his face.

A shrill voice urged, "The emperor has ordered that Princess Jingning cannot be allowed to win the support of the people. Sir Xiao, it's time to act."

It was the eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuchs in the palace, staring at Ning Zhiwei with an unhappy look on his face.

Why does a mere county lady like to show off so much?
