Chapter 1061 The Princess Wants to Kill 7
"Father."
Facing the intimidating gaze of Emperor Qianyuan, Shu Jiao did not retreat at all.
She walked up the stairs step by step.
Until she stood beside him, Emperor Qianyuan's eyes suddenly softened and his tone became gentle.
"grown up."
He was like a loving father, "I remember when you were born, you were just a wrinkled little baby."
"Shu Fei has taken very good care of you."
"You are just timid. Whenever I go there, you don't like to talk to me."
As he spoke, he became a little sad, and said with a hint of resentment: "You have never been close to me since you were a child."
"Father, are you taking advantage of me because I'm young and don't remember anything?"
Shu Jiao half-sat beside him, and her attitude became casual.
"Oh?"
Emperor Qianyuan was a little confused.
"Ah~~"
Shu Jiao chuckled and stretched out her hand to count on her fingers, "I have seen my father nine times this year."
"Adding today, it makes it perfect."
I've grown up so much, and you still arranged a marriage for me this year, but we haven't even met ten times.
It is obvious that it was like this in the past.
You have ignored me since I was young, how can you have the nerve to blame me for not getting close to you now?
After saying this, Shu Jiao's tone suddenly became intimate again, "I only look up to my father and I only rely on my mother."
"It's just that I feel bad."
"If Your Majesty is willing to compensate me a little, I won't mind."
Emperor Qianyuan remained calm when Shu Jiao secretly insulted him, and even found it a little funny.
He treated all his offspring the same way.
Not close.
But Shu Jiao was the first one who openly asked him for compensation because of these old account books.
It is simply the opposite of Tiangang!
"If that's the case, why don't you take the initiative to find me?"
Emperor Qianyuan asked again.
"Father."
Shu Jiao rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, "This government affairs is your Queen's business. Even your mother can't come here to look for you, let alone your son?"
Emperor Qianyuan was impatient to deal with his concubines.
Especially the concubines’ tactics of sending soup and water to win favor.
He simply issued an imperial decree, forbidding concubines from going to the front court unless it was for serious matters.
Emperor Qianyuan didn't think much of what Shu Jiao said. He just said with a look of nostalgia, "Although I seldom see you, I know about your affairs."
"I remember when you were five years old, you fought with your fourth sister for a raccoon cat, which caused Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi to quarrel."
Is there such a thing?
Shu Jiao flipped through her memories and instantly understood that Emperor Qianyuan was suspicious of her.
Also.
Anyone would be suspicious if his temperament suddenly changed.
"Father is mistaken."
Shu Jiao shook her head, "It was the Fourth Princess who pushed me down for a raccoon."
"Mother punished Concubine Yi and the Fourth Imperial Sister. I also received a gift of apology from Concubine Yi, as well as a Pisces Fish pendant that Father gave me to appease Mother."
"You are generous."
"Whether I'm magnanimous or not is another matter. Now that I've gotten so many good things, how can I blame the Fourth Princess anymore?"
"Ha~"
Emperor Qianyuan agreed with this statement.
Emotions are secondary, the benefits you get are real.
Otherwise, he would have been angered to death by those ambitious royal relatives and court officials when he first ascended the throne.
After pulling out the few memories he had about Shu Jiao from his mind and testing her again and again, and temporarily acknowledging that Shu Jiao was still his own child, Emperor Qianyuan stopped pretending.
His face suddenly became serious, and the imperial majesty instantly came over him.
"Snapped."
Emperor Qianyuan threw a memorial to Shu Jiao, and said with a tired tone, "Take a look."
Upon hearing this, Shu Jiao knew that she had passed the first level.
Next, is the second level.
She thought that Emperor Qianyuan would not give her a difficult memorial, but when she opened it, she saw—
Xianzhou Emergency News:
Days of heavy rain caused the Yu and Xiang rivers to burst their banks, flooding 30% to 40% of the lower reaches of the river. Countless people drowned, and grain transport was blocked.
Seeing this, Shu Jiao, an experienced hand in government affairs, had changed his expression.
She knew too well what these few short lines meant in the feudal era.
It means that once again the people will be displaced, hungry, and separated from their loved ones;
It means that another large-scale plague has appeared in the world;
This means an extremely large amount of disaster relief money, and a large number of officials who are very likely to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, collude with each other, commit corruption, and oppress the people...
"What? Are you scared?"
Noticing that Shu Jiao's eyes had become serious, Emperor Qianyuan asked calmly.
Don't you want to sit in his position?
Aren't you ambitious enough to say to his face that you are the best choice?
Just because of this flood, you dare not take action?
Then go back to your princess palace as soon as possible and be a happy little princess under the protection of imperial power.
Shu Jiao didn't respond.
She frowned and mentally calculated, "Father, can the Ministry of Revenue allocate 40 yuan for disaster relief?"
"40?"
Emperor Qianyuan looked at her with a strange look in his eyes, "You are quite accurate in your calculations."
Not bad.
The situation this time is serious, and Emperor Qianyuan's original disaster relief budget is roughly this number.
Unfortunately……
"Hey~"
Emperor Qianyuan sighed softly, "I can't produce it."
Perhaps because he felt that Shu Jiao was indeed talented, he explained, "Although the Ministry of Revenue has money, but..."
"But we must reserve some funds to prepare for the battle of Yuncheng in November."
Shu Jiao took over what he had left behind.
"good."
Emperor Qianyuan looked at her with admiration and said, "The Ministry of Revenue can allocate a maximum of 300,000."
Every ounce of silver from the Ministry of Revenue has its use.
Even if you squeeze the Ministry of Revenue to bleed, you won't be able to take out a single extra copper coin.
"The Minister of Revenue, Zhang Lingyun, is so stingy and hasn't made any progress in all these years."
Shu Jiao frowned and spoke boldly, "They only think about cutting costs and not increasing revenue. For years, the Ministry of Revenue has had no revenue. No wonder they don't spend this money wisely."
"Father should have replaced him long ago."
Father~
Your precious daughter didn't suddenly mutate, but has been paying attention to these things for a long time.
Are you relieved or wary?
Emperor Qianyuan was testing Shu Jiao's temper and character, but didn't Shu Jiao also want to test him?
After finding out the good news, he waited patiently for the succession.
If the test results in a bad outcome, he would find an excuse to leave the capital, grow up quietly for a while, and then directly raise the flag of rebellion.
Now it depends on what results Emperor Qianyuan can give.
"Having said that, he is the only one who can manage the Ministry of Revenue well. Although he doesn't make much money, he doesn't cause me any trouble."
Emperor Qianyuan was quite satisfied with Zhang Lingyun.
Thinking about it, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, you have a talented person to recommend to me?"
Since you have been paying attention to the court for a long time, you must have someone on your side, right?
Are you going to let go of such a good opportunity to place someone there?
"Father, that's my son's man."
Shu Jiao lied without a trace of guilt, "How can I easily hand over a talent that I haven't even warmed up to yet to you?"
"All talents in the world should be used by me."
Emperor Qianyuan chuckled upon hearing this, "But I don't know when you've ever gone out to recruit talent."
Is there really someone on hand?
Or should I just go with the flow and lie to him?
