Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

When Prime Minister Xie arrived, the emperor was busy reviewing memorials, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Prime Minister Xie bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Xiao Jin looked up and saw the elegant Prime Minister Xie. His brows immediately relaxed, becoming much gentler than before.

"Thank you, my dear, for not having to be polite. Come on, please take a seat."

Prime Minister Xie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor's complexion had obviously improved. As long as he was not angry with him, it would be fine.

"Your Majesty, is there something important?"

"I have a problem here, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River..."

After listening to Xiao Jin, Prime Minister Xie immediately understood that this task was originally given to Xiao Heng, but it seemed that he did not do a good job and angered the emperor.

"Let me go back to the mansion and give a few instructions. We will set off immediately."

Prime Minister Xie did not procrastinate. After the flood, there were refugees. If not handled properly, cannibalism would occur. So he went to handle it personally without delay.

"Well, thank you, my dear minister. I will send Commandant Han to lead 8,000 elite soldiers to set off in three days to help you escort the relief food and money. If you can't cure the problem this time, I will chop off your heads."

Eight thousand elite soldiers are indeed enough for Jiangnan, which has no military power. This is also the result of Xiao Jin's careful consideration.

But considering that last time, Xiao Heng's 5,000 men failed to intimidate the other side, Xiao Jin still increased the number. He wanted to see the result and believed that Prime Minister Xie would not let him down.

"Your Majesty, the officialdom in Jiangnan is not clean and honest. In an emergency, I would like to ask Your Majesty for a sword."

Prime Minister Xie is much more shrewd than Xiao Heng. This money is very tempting, not to mention that it is more than 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief. The total number of people affected by the disaster in Jiangnan is more than 100,000. Half a tael to two taels of silver can be used to provide relief to the victims, which is more than enough.

If he was a corrupt official, how could he not want to take the money for himself? This amount of money could feed 100,000 disaster victims and was enough for his descendants to eat and drink for several lifetimes.

"Yes, but I want evidence. I can't kill innocent people."

Xiao Jin thought about it for a moment and agreed, but the Imperial Sword has both advantages and disadvantages. If it is used to kill corrupt officials, it will naturally benefit the people, but if it is used to kill honest officials, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Yes, I will do my best to help the emperor."

Prime Minister Xie kowtowed to thank the emperor for the grace and obtained the imperial sword, which enabled him to get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, he would always have to worry about retaliation.

"Hahahaha, good, you are my good subject. If you succeed and come back, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Xiao Jin still likes to talk to smart people. Although he cannot tell the whole story in a few words, he has pointed out the core issue. If he can punish those corrupt officials at the same time, Prime Minister Xie will have made a great contribution.

"After talking about business, I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion held a happy event. How is Xie Changling's health? Is he getting better?"

Although Xiao Jin knew what Master Hongyi said, he still trusted the imperial physician more. Since he was sick, of course he had to find the imperial physician.

"Thanks to your majesty's kindness, my son's health has improved. I hope he can recover soon. Your Majesty also knows that my son's intelligence is superior to mine."

When Prime Minister Xie mentioned Xie Changling, his face was no longer full of worry, but rather he was in high spirits. It was obvious that Xie Changling's health was really getting better.

"Well, that's right. I'm waiting for him to serve me." Xiao Jin had already made a promise, agreeing to Prime Minister Xie to let Xie Changling serve as an official.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am grateful to you."

There were two ways to become an official in the court. One was the imperial examination system, which could recruit students from poor families to serve the court.

The other type is to enter the officialdom through family patronage, which means that children of officials like Xie Changling, if they have talent and are appreciated by the emperor, can directly enter the officialdom as an official.

Prime Minister Xie naturally hopes that his family will prosper. Without a son who can build up the family, no matter how glorious it is now, the family will decline sooner or later.

His illegitimate sons were all average-looking and not particularly talented.

It's not that he didn't try to cultivate her, but her greatest achievement was editing books in the Hanlin Academy, and she was not favored by the emperor.

This time, perhaps there will be a sudden turn of events that will take the entire Xiangfu to a higher level!

Prime Minister Xie concealed his excitement, not showing it on his face, bowed respectfully, and left.

……

Prime Minister's House.

Qingfeng Garden.

Xie Changling had no idea that his father had already sold him for a good price. All his attention at the moment was on his beloved wife.

Xie Changling has brought Song Lingxi back. Along the way, he observed that Song Lingxi was not in a good mood.

"What's wrong, Xier? What makes you unhappy?" Xie Changling asked with concern, his tone gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring her.

"Husband, I'm so scared. I'm afraid that all this is just a dream. When I wake up, I'll find that there's nothing."

Song Lingxi hugged Xie Changling tightly, feeling his warm and broad chest, buried her head in it, and breathed in his scent.

"Don't be afraid, of course it's not a dream. You are my lucky star. All this exists only because of you, so don't be afraid."

Although Xie Changling didn't understand her worries, he still tried his best to comfort her patiently.

Alas, it seems that he did not do enough, which made his wife worry so much.

It looks like I have to work harder tonight.

Song Lingxi had no idea what this big-tailed wolf was thinking. She cherished the hard-earned peace and tranquility, but she also did not forget the potential crisis.

"My dear husband, do you know why the emperor has no heir and has an empty harem?"

Song Lingxi knew that the Prime Minister's Office was a staunch royalist party. Moreover, Xiao Heng, that idiot and scoundrel, made the entire country live in misery as soon as he ascended the throne.

So, she thought, if only the emperor had a suitable heir, the throne would never fall to that incompetent emperor Xiao Heng.

"Xi'er, how could you think of this? Don't tell these words to others. If these words get to the emperor's ears, you will be punished."

Xie Changling was afraid that there might be ears on the other side of the wall, so he looked around. The maids were all guarding the door, and their conversation just now was not loud, so it was good.

Xie Changling did know the reason.

At that time, the noble family was powerful and attempted to kill Xiao Jin, who was already the crown prince at the time, and supported a useless puppet to launch a rebellion.

Of course, the aristocratic families were far-sighted and did not want to implicate the family if they failed, so in the end it ended up with internal strife.

I don't know how they conspired, but in any case, the people who were found out after the incident were all concubines in the harem who had no foundation and had nothing to do with the aristocratic families.

But Xiao Jin, who was still young at the time, was indeed abducted to a brothel by them, who tried to turn him into a pedophile and destroy his reproductive organs. However, Xiao Jin struggled desperately, giving him a chance to escape.

He was picked up by Xie Changling who had secretly run away. He was in poor health at the time and was watched closely by his elders. He was lonely and longed for a playmate.

Xiao Jin was a few years older than him. Although Xie Changling was precocious, he was extremely eager to play with Xiao Jin, so he secretly picked him up and brought him home.

The elders almost discovered it several times, but he covered it up and fooled them away. Even the servants were always sent away by him with various excuses, leaving them no chance to discover it.

If he hadn't had a fever that nearly burned himself to death, Xiao Jin would have run out on his own initiative and it's unknown how long he would have stayed hidden.

When Xie Changling thinks about it now, those days were really funny, and a faint smile appears on his face.
