At night, the huge palace fell into darkness, and groups of patrolling soldiers passed by from time to time.
"My subordinates have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lord Censor."
In the palace at night, Princess Wannian and Chu Feng walked side by side.
"How can there be light there?"
Stopping outside Hongde Gate, Princess Wannian looked suspiciously at a palace inside Hongde Gate.
In her impression, there will be lights coming from the palace at night, only her father's harem.
There may have been other places before, but never now.
"Mingguang Hall, Shangshutai." Chu Feng yawned and seemed very tired.
"Shangshutai?" Princess Wannian frowned, remembering the Jiang Yu who had "no power to tie a chicken with her hands" she had seen earlier this morning.
"That light came from the location of the main hall. It is estimated that our new Jiang Shangshuling is handling government affairs..."
"Jiang Shang Shuling?"
Chu Feng twisted his waist and continued: "That guy was jointly secured by Qin Jie, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian. He is a good person. I asked him to sleep this morning and he didn't sleep...
I heard that he used only 1,000 people in Nanyang to take down 100,000 yellow scarves in Qixian County. He also took down Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao together with Sun Jian. In the end, he was in Quyang. Jiang Shiwan is a fierce man! "
After hearing what Chu Feng said, Wannian nodded and turned towards the Mingguang Palace.
"Let's go and have a look with me."
"Huh? What? Did you like it?" Chu Feng raised his legs and followed.
"Well, I saw..."
"..."
"Yo! The master inside is really capable!"
In the outer hall of Mingguang Hall, the two servants are lowering their heads to communicate.
"Isn't it? From the morning until now, the rise of this new official is really three fires!"
"Finally, someone has come to do real work..."
"How about doing real things? In this palace, people who do real things can't live long..."
"Yeah, if it wasn't for the support of my old mother, I wouldn't be too lazy to come here to be an official... Huh? Your Royal Highness, Princess!"
Raising her hand, Princess Wannian ignored the two and walked straight to the main hall of Mingguang Hall.
"Be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth!" Chu Feng, who was behind him, narrowed his eyes and smiled at the two of them.
In the main hall, Jiang Yu held a memorial and frowned slightly.
"Donglai County was hit by floods, thousands of hectares of fertile fields were submerged, and nearly 100,000 people became refugees. No one is willing to report such an important matter?"
"Because those who are willing to report are already dead." Li Guang stood aside and replied in a flat tone.
"died?"
"Killed by Zhang Changshi and others." Li Guang explained: "Your Majesty entrusted the government affairs to Zhang Changshi and others. In order to please Your Majesty, Zhang Changshi deliberately concealed the memorials of these disasters, so as to show His Majesty a" Peace and prosperity'...
Therefore, those who are dissatisfied with Changshi Zhang's actions and dare to report to His Majesty will naturally have no good end..."
"With corruption like this, who will die if you don't die?" With a sigh, Jiang Yu reluctantly put down the memorial.
Inadvertently, Jiang Yu saw the words "Please approve 10,000 gold" below the memorial.
"Li Guang, where is the ten thousand gold that Your Majesty bestowed on me?" Jiang Yu asked suddenly.
"Returning to Shangshu, there is no ten thousand gold."
"No? What do you mean?"
"Because Zhang Changshi and others will deduct at least 9,000 gold from it, it may be less than 1,000 gold that can end up in the hands of Lord Shang Shuling." Li Guang explained.
"He dares to deduct the emperor's reward?"
"This is not the first time, and the person who expressed dissatisfaction with this is also dead." Li Guang's tone was flat, as if he had become accustomed to it.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yu suddenly laughed.
Zhang Rang's power in the court once again exceeded his imagination.
Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty was just like that, right?
"If you want to do it, we actually have another way."
At this time, Princess Wannian and Chu Feng walked into the main hall.
"You are... Princess Wannian?" Jiang Yu recognized Wannian's face and was slightly surprised.
Behind Princess Wannian, Chu Feng waved to Jiang Yu, "Jiang Shangshuling, we meet again."
"You guys are..." Jiang Yu looked at the two who suddenly arrived in confusion. How could these two come here?
"I heard that Jiang Shangshuling has been approving the memorial until now, so I came here to visit."
Princess Wannian smiled at Jiang Yu, stepped forward to pick up the memorial that Jiang Yu had just put down, and opened it.
"Donglai flood disaster, please 10,000 gold... Shang Shuling seems to be troubled by this?"
"It's not distress." Jiang Yu smiled, "It's despair."
"It just so happens that Wannian has a very good solution. I don't know if Shang Shuling is willing to listen to it?" Princess Wannian put down the memorial and looked at Jiang Yu with a special look... It seems to be hope?
"I would like to hear the details." Jiang Yu sat upright and said.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and Princess Wannian glanced at Li Guang, who was on the side, and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, can the minister go to another place to discuss with Wannian?"
"This...good." After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yu nodded.
At this moment just now, he did have the idea of whether Princess Wannian wanted to find a place to kill him, but in just a moment, Jiang Yu denied this idea.
One, Princess Wannian had no motive; two, Princess Wannian gave him a very comfortable feeling, just like Liu Yun.
"Come with me."
Following Princess Wannian and Chu Feng, Jiang Yu left the Mingguang Palace and walked out of the palace all the way.
"Why hasn't that bastard come out yet? It's freezing me out..."
As soon as he walked out of the Suzaku Gate, Jiang Yu saw Sonoran and Sun Shangxiang who were still standing outside the palace.
"Yo! You're finally out? We're all freezing to death, right?" Seeing Jiang Yu for the first time, Sun Shangxiang put her arms around her, her body trembling slightly from the cold.
Sonoran on the side saw Jiang Yu and smiled slightly. Due to her physique, she did not feel cold.
"Why are you here? Didn't Sun Gong say to take you back to rest?" Jiang Yu stepped forward and asked suspiciously, taking off his outer robe and handing it to Sun Shangxiang.
Since he was in the palace, he had certain requirements for attire, so Jiang Yu did not enter wearing the armor and shield he had before, but changed into a commoner and put on a robe outside, which looked quite refined.
"Sonoran said to wait for you..."
Sun Shangxiang took the robe, put it on her body unceremoniously, and explained: "Originally, Dad was going to take us to the hotel, but Sonoran insisted on waiting for you here, so I'll stay with her! "
"Sorry..." After listening to Sun Shangxiang's explanation, Jiang Yu looked at Sonoran apologetically, "I thought you, Duke Sun and the others..."
"It's my fault." Sonoran said hurriedly: "It's Sonoran who wants to stay and wait, Mr. Jiang Yu doesn't need to apologize..."
"Okay, really..." Sun Shangxiang slapped her nose and looked at the two with disgust.
"Look at you two, sour! If I'm fine, I'll go first, and I'll return the clothes to you tomorrow..."
Having said that, Sun Shangxiang wrapped her robe tightly and turned to leave.
"Thank you to Duke Sun for me." Jiang Yu said from behind.
"Got it!" Sun Shangxiang waved her hand without looking back.
After Sun Shangxiang left, Jiang Yu looked back at Princess Wannian and Chu Feng.
"your Highness..."
"I understand, let's go."
