Chapter 489: Madam Dingyuan's Power
"I was originally planning to remove those termites hidden in Kyoto..."
It's just that the time has not come yet.
"Now that Ah An has done it, let her do it."
"She is still young and has been pampered since she was born, so it is normal for her to be unwilling to use some conspiratorial means."
Jiang Jichen's hands kept moving as he folded the piece of paper with many names on it.
I don't know if the prince remembered the trouble An had caused in the north, but he suddenly laughed, and there was a kind of warmth in his smile that was different from usual.
He said calmly, "With this king behind me, any monster that wants to hurt my daughter will have to get past this king first!"
Even though he is far away in the north, no one can stop him from protecting his child!
He called the secret guard over in front of several people and handed over a thin piece of paper in his hand.
In the most casual tone, he said the cruelest words, "Remember all the names of the people listed here, and have someone teach them a lesson."
"Be more careful, let them know who did it, but don't leave any traces..."
The secret guard saluted in silence, appeared silently and left silently.
Hu Yan listened, lowered his head and calmly adjusted his clothes.
The prince was right in what he said. The little girl was brought up in great pampering, so it was understandable that she acted a little flamboyantly and recklessly.
If he had to be as shrewd and cunning as him and the prince, he would probably have suffered the same hardships and pains as they had suffered!
Thinking this way, the old fox convinced himself.
It's just some variables, a blessing in disguise...
"If you think about it this way, it's not completely without benefits."
"The appearance of Xie Yunshan's brother in the North was a variable in the first place. Now that the two sons of the Xie family are in the North, the Xie family and the Queen Mother will inevitably be cautious."
"If An An cuts off his arm again at this moment, I'm afraid Prime Minister Xie will feel a little anxious at this moment."
When people are anxious, they will become confused. As long as he is confused enough, the prince will naturally be able to do what he wants!
"Tsk..."
Xie Yunshan was listening nearby and muttered, "They say the prince dotes on her, but you are the same..."
Try every possible way to fill the little girl's space~
and…
"You are plotting against me right in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I am a spy?"
When Hu Yan heard this, he smiled brightly, "You...a spy?"
"Hey~Who are you looking down on?"
……
The climate in Kyoto is much milder than that in the north. Willow branches sprout, flowers and plants bud...all seem to be fleeting.
The already gorgeous and rich Kyoto was now covered with a layer of vibrant colorful colors.
Passersby also changed into lighter clothes.
The tulle curtains outside the shops and pavilions match the tulle dresses on the girls, creating a hazy atmosphere as if in fairyland.
By this calculation, it should be two months since the little girl arrived in Kyoto...
The Ministry of Justice had the indifferent Li Shangshu, and after Jiang An was promoted, the position of Right Vice Minister was left vacant, so all matters, big and small, fell on her alone.
Then there is the Ministry of Military Affairs...
Cui Huaixu and Jiang Ling are two young and inexperienced guys. Not only do they know nothing about the affairs of the Ministry of War, but they are also eager to learn!
Every time he made a mess of things with all his heart, he would either beg pitifully from his elders at home or from the little girl.
The elders in my family are okay. They are reasonable and can take care of these two troublesome people and reprimand them.
But when it comes to the little girl...
She is not a person with a good temper, and everyone in Kyoto has experienced this over the past two months.
This little bastard... is totally unreasonable. If you argue with her, she will hit you. If you try to show some mercy and play the victim in front of her... she will start to reason with you, and after you've reasoned with her, she will hit you again, saying that you are unreasonable!
It's funny to say, but under her style, no matter how big or small the matters of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice were ever in trouble.
The Dali Temple also tried several old cases that had been piled up for many years, not to mention the number of cases that were overturned... they were simply countless!
However, the little girl was busy from sunrise to sunset all day long, and was exhausted when she returned home. Sometimes she didn't even have the strength to speak and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
Those who followed her from the north all felt sorry for her...
In the letters Li Xingsang sent back to the north, he mentioned several times that the little girl had lost a lot of weight, as if she was afraid that the people who should see her would not see her.
Such a huge Southern Merchant had actually reached the point where it put the imperial court under the control of a teenage girl.
Among Li Xingsang's letters, there was one addressed to Hu Yan, and Hu Yan showed the letter to the prince.
The old father, who always loved his daughter, had a gloomy face for several days. Under the pretext of sending supplements to his daughter, he sent more than a hundred people to Kyoto.
When the memorial impeaching Jiang Jichen was presented to His Majesty, he naturally guessed the reason and turned a blind eye... and handled it with care.
Then, a few days later, Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice lost two teeth at home for no reason.
He just said that he knocked it out accidentally, but since the tooth fell out, he has paid more attention to his official duties. Without the burden of the Ministry of Justice, Jiang An can finally have a few days of free time.
However, someone deliberately didn't want her to rest...
Prime Minister Xie recovered from his illness in the second month and returned to the court.
But this time, no matter how much he instigated, the officials did not dare to confront the little girl.
First of all, Jiang An was ruthless and still holds a grudge!
Secondly, at such a young age, he was able to manage two of the six departments in an orderly manner. With such achievements, who among them would have the nerve to come up and criticize him!
Seeing that Jiang An was the most powerful person in the court, Xie Si secretly tried to sow discord between Jiang An and the General's Mansion, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and Jiang An.
The despicable means commonly seen in Kyoto were originally means used by women in the backyard to compete for favor. Now that the prime minister of a country is using them, it is really unbearable.
The mistress of the General's Mansion came from Jiangnan. She has always been gentle and even speaks in a low voice. Naturally, she would not come to argue with the Xie family.
But the wife of Marquis Dingyuan is not an easy person to deal with.
When she found out that it was the Xie family who was secretly doing evil and causing rumors all over Kyoto, she was immediately furious.
I went straight to the Imperial City to file a complaint with His Majesty...
Our poor Majesty, after receiving the censor, someone else pulled him out of the dragon bed.
"Cui family, can't we wait until tomorrow to discuss anything?"
His Majesty put on his outer robe and rubbed his swollen forehead.
When the wife of Marquis Dingyuan saw His Majesty coming, she pointed at Xie Si, who was also dragged from home, and said, "Your Majesty, are you still going to do anything about this? In the capital, at the feet of the emperor... someone is deliberately spreading rumors!"
Although she didn't say who it was directly, it was obvious.
Xie Si's face twitched and he dodged the nails that almost poked his face, and with a grim face he adjusted his robe.
"The wife of Marquis Dingyuan broke into my house in the middle of the night and dragged me all the way from home to Your Majesty. No matter how you look at it, I am the one who is more wronged."
In the past, the Xie family did not have much interaction with the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion. Ever since the generation of Xie Si's father, they had disagreements with the political views of the Dingyuan Marquis's mother and family. Although they were not enemies, they had never had any dealings with them.
So, this was really the first time for Shes to experience this!
He has lived for decades and has never been so embarrassed! !
He said so, and the wife of Marquis Dingyuan was not a pushover. If the palace maids had not stopped her, Prime Minister Xie would have had several bloodstains on his face by now.
