Chapter 560 Jiang An Accepts Bribes
Chapter 560 Jiang An Accepts Bribes
Chapter 560 Jiang An accepted a bribe. The little girl folded her arms and looked at the backs of the adults running in front of the hall. She was almost waving a small flag and cheering for them.
There were also old ministers who still had hopes for Xie Si and rushed to him, hoping that the Prime Minister could show them a way forward.
Xie Si's eyes were cold and he strode forward, "I have no other choice."
Judging from the many times Jiang An has fought with him, since the little girl mentioned it in front of the hall... that means she has already started doing it!
When the ministers return home, they probably won't see any of their clan members.
No, no, no...
It’s not that we can’t see them, but that not a single one will be left!
No matter what branch or direct line, Jiang An treats them all equally and takes them all away!
"This...what should I do?"
The minister had a sad face, he was an old man who had a son... He finally had a son, but he was afraid that he would break if he held him in his hands, and afraid that he would melt if he held him in his mouth!
I have never left my parents since I was a child...
The north is barren and cold, how could his son endure it?
Sheth was hugged by his thighs and screamed so hard that he had a headache.
He scolded: "You... are so...disgraceful! Hurry up and get up!"
"Prime Minister... wuwu..."
The veins on Xie Si’s forehead were throbbing. I’m not dead yet!
It won’t be too late for you to come and wail after I die!
"There is a way...there is a way!"
Can you please stop howling!
"Hic...ah? What can I do?"
The minister stopped crying in an instant.
"Go and give Jiang Anduo some silver. The more the better. She will naturally treat your son better for the sake of the silver."
Send money...
The minister's eyes rolled around, and the next second he jumped up from the ground, grabbing the corner of his official robe in his hand and running as fast as he could.
The same was true for the officials who were eavesdropping nearby, all of them scrambling to be the first to deliver the bribe to Jiang An's house.
When all the officials left the palace, everyone, including the emperor, felt that something was missing from the morning court today...
The envoys from various countries were waiting in the side hall…waiting until they were almost like a spider web:…
So, is there really no one caring about them?
I don’t know whether others went or not, but the girl was busy anyway.
At this moment, she is sitting in the mansion receiving gifts~
No matter who sends it, she accepts it all!
Moreover, the gifts he accepted were so blatant that even the old censor heard about it.
When he arrived at the mansion in a threatening manner, Jiang An was sitting in an open space half-surrounded by boxes of silver and money, holding a large silver ingot and smiling naively.
The old man was so angry that he almost fell over. He quickly walked up to the little girl, grabbed her ear and gave her a lesson.
“Hey…”
Hearing Jiang An's cry of pain, he even subconsciously loosened his hold.
The old man realized it later, how much effort he had put in to begin with...
I lowered my head and saw Jiang An's smirking expression as expected.
Old man: ...
He was so angry that he said, "You are the county lord and you don't need money, why do you accept bribes?"
"Not only did you take it, but you did it so blatantly. Aren't you afraid that someone will report you to His Majesty?"
Do you really think that these censors are dead?
The little girl held the silver ingot tightly in her hands, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it from her.
She stiffened her neck, looking proud that 'God is the boss and I am the second', "Who dares to sue me?!"
Now, half of the court follows her, and half is controlled by her.
How awesome she is!
The old man was so angry that he was breathing heavily. He pointed at Jiang An's forehead and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qi Shanyuan.
The young man looked respectful and brought a cup of tea over. "Sir, would you like a cup of tea?"
The old man's spell was interrupted, and since Shanyuan did have a clear face, he was really fooled for a moment.
After the tea entered his mouth, the old man realized that the boy was sharing the heat with the girl.
"Humph!"
He snorted angrily and put the teacup back on the tray that Qi Shanyuan was holding.
"You are now at the peak of your career in the imperial court. Many people are looking at you. A tall tree attracts the wind... Don't you understand this principle?"
and…
The old man straightened his expression and said, "You targeted the Xie family to such an extent, I don't believe you just think it's fun..."
"Since you have something in mind, why can't you stick to it?"
What’s the difference between your current behavior and those of the aristocratic families who plunder the people’s wealth?
He sighed softly, as if he still had a lot to say, but seemed to have lost the energy to preach.
The old man had served in the court for no less time than Taifu Xie, but he was a censor and was not liked by the public, so he was often forgotten.
Over the years, he has seen quite a few officials who have just entered the court. They were all full of ambitions when they first came, but when they returned in middle age, they had either been demoted... and had lost the strength to fight anymore, or they had become corrupt with them!
The person who vowed to kill the evil ghost has now become an evil ghost!
He hoped that the little girl would not become like this...
The yard fell silent for a moment, followed by the hearty laughter of the little girl.
She patted the silver box beside her and asked the old man, "Sir, do you know how much silver is here?"
Before the old man could figure out what the girl meant, Jiang An said, "More than 100,000 in total."
Among them are some rare handles and pure gold ornaments...not to mention the silks, satins, pearl hairpins and silk skirts sent by the gentlemen according to their preferences.
Jiang An was not included.
"One hundred thousand taels can provide the Northern Land National Defense Army with a year's salary."
"If we send these things to Cangmo and Mobei, we can exchange them for countless war horses!"
Armor, weapons...
The old man stood there in a daze for a moment, the little girl's face reflected in his eyes.
Jiang An might not have realized it herself, but her eyes were shining when she mentioned these things... her whole body was radiating light.
He pointed at the boxes of gold and silver and said, "You mean... you want to turn all of this into armaments?"
"Yes."
"Dong Li's purpose in coming to the Southern Merchants this time is not pure. The northern border is adjacent to it, so we should prepare early to prevent being caught off guard."
The old man opened and closed his mouth again and again. What he just said...wasn't it all nonsense?
He and Qi Shanyuan looked at each other. The young man's eyes were clear and smiling, and he passed the teacup to the old man.
"Would you like some tea, my Lord?"
"..."
"I don't want to drink!" After saying that, he turned and left, his back showing a bit of vicissitudes.
Good man, just waiting to see him perform there alone, right?
The little girl stretched her neck to look at him, "Sir, you don't want to stay for dinner?"
Old man: ...
"Hehe~"
Jiang An grinned evilly, like a naughty kid who had just come back from playing a prank on someone!
Then, the silver and the children of the noble families were sent to the north.
The little girl was worried that her money would be robbed along the way, so there were many people secretly following her along the way...
In fact, she was just worrying too much. The bandits from Kyoto all the way to the north were scared by the little girl.
Not to mention robbing money, just seeing the familiar flag and team was enough to make them scream and run away!
At the morning court the next day, His Majesty had learned his lesson and did not give the officials any chance to speak. He even began to summon the envoys into the palace before the officials had even knelt down.
"Cough cough..."
The Shichen group, who were sitting leisurely in the side hall, were suddenly summoned and were so shocked that they spat out the tea in their mouths.
The envoy's face darkened and he glared at the young eunuch angrily.
It was delayed yesterday, but it is urgent today!
Can Nanshan have some discipline?
