Chapter 13
The future is uncertain. In the past, he did not dare to confront Liu Jin, one of the Eight Tigers, with Li Mian's words and his thoughts confirmed one by one.

Everything is cleared up.

Princess Changping's dignified and luxurious face was much calmer: "When Liu Jin, the eunuch of the Cao Supervisor, went to the south of the Yangtze River to make purchases, he often used the canal to carry his personal belongings."

Bring personal belongings.

In front of the ochre-colored curtains of the main hall, the beautiful voice of Princess Changping's jade beads falling, sounded sonorous and powerful at this moment, uttering every word, extremely loud.

The voice is not high, and it gradually overwhelms the voices of more than a dozen Kun Dao female crowns chanting sutras in the curtain. I don't know whether the Kun Dao female crowns admire Princess Changping's temperament of not being manipulated by others, or they are ordered by Emperor Jiazhen to stop chanting sutras. up.

In the hall below the lotus petal caisson, only the voice of Princess Changping was left, and the voice echoed throughout the hall, deafeningly loud.

Liu Jin's fair and beardless face changed suddenly, from contempt at the beginning, to resentment, and then to nervousness, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, sweat gradually proliferated in his collar and narrow sleeves, and his back was already drenched.

Going to the south of the Yangtze River to buy goods, no matter how many misfortunes you have caused by doing evil, as long as you have done a good job for the emperor and collected enough money, it is just a few words of reprimand, and it is just a show to show to the officials in the court.

In the heart of the emperor, he is still able to do things well, and is deeply relied on by the emperor.

Carrying private belongings is still the same, as long as all the private belongings are handed over to the inner government storage, no matter how much public dissatisfaction arises, she will still be a good servant who wholeheartedly expands the source of wealth for the palace.

It's not the same to keep a part of it in secret, it's deceiving the emperor and ashamed of the emperor's trust.

No longer trusted by the emperor.
Liu Jin just thought about it, and shivered all over his body. Cold sweat covered his forehead under the black gauze embossed gold cap, and he stretched out his narrow flowered sleeves to wipe his palms, trembling slightly.

What surprised Liu Jin the most was how Princess Changping was able to clarify the accounts that the capable ministers and officials of the [-]th Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Household Investigation could not clarify. The pen withholds silver.

Yan Song, Gao Panlong, Xu Jie and other cabinet ministers changed their expressions from indifference at first to now all focus on Princess Changping, paying more attention to her.

The words in a sentence all reflect one thing.

These remarks are quite unique in their grasp of the current situation of the government, and their vision is vicious. Every sentence is like a knife, hitting Liu Jin, one of the Eight Tigers, at the vital point.

Princess Changping is also in charge of the shipping warehouse of the inner government, and today she has such unexpected insight that several cabinet ministers changed their attitude towards her.

Grandpa Sun had an angry look on his face. Hearing that all kinds of searches in these words were full of people's fat and people's anointing, seeing Liu Jin's dislike from head to toe, he wished to smash him to death with his fist.

Yuan Gong, however, sighed softly, the court where all the forces have already sung us, will only become more restless in the future, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Judging from the current situation, it is probably good. Princess Changping's remarks are not for party disputes, but to expose a bad government that exists in the imperial court.

The different reactions of the princes in the hall.

Princess Changping had a panoramic view, and revealed all the words: "The entrainment of private belongings has affected the jurisdiction of the chief secretary's officials over the prefecture and county government affairs. At the same time, the most controversial thing is that the weaving and burning materials belong to the local government. The supply of materials usually has a quota, which is usually apportioned according to the local land grain, and also according to the Lijia. Because it is a disaster year, the local governments and counties cannot collect enough apportionments, so they can only embezzle the money and food in the official treasury, resulting in a deficit, so that some of the chief secretary's taxes cannot be converted into silver."

Sun Gong secretly admired the ingenuity of a sentence, and it didn't involve any Mingjun's plan for the people of his family and country. Emperor Jiazhen also hated this set of pedantic rhetoric the most, and always only talked about one thing.

silver.

It seems that Princess Changping grasped the thoughts of Emperor Jiazhen that many officials in the capital did not see clearly, and knew what Emperor Jiazhen cared most about.

"His Majesty."

Liu Jin, who was so arrogant outside, quickly put on a pitiful look in front of Emperor Jiazhen, completely panicking, and made a difficult decision.

He had served Emperor Jiazhen for many years, and he also understood the emperor's temperament and what to do to keep his status, so he immediately presented a yellow book.

The moment Liu Jin handed out the yellow book, her heart hurt like a piece of flesh had been gouged out.

All the intercepted money was hidden in Xing Wang's mansion. Before the emperor ascended the throne, the canonized throne was Xing Wang.

I'm afraid that things will be revealed, and I will leave a way out.

If it is not exposed, there are some ways to transport it back to the hometown of the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi to build a Shoushen Temple to enshrine him day and night.

For an eunuch like him, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to enter the ancestral grave. The eunuch is most afraid that no one will worship him after death. After building the Shoushen Temple, there will be no worries.

Now because of Princess Changping, years of painstaking efforts have been ruined, and Shoushen Temple has become a luxury.

Emperor Jiazhen took the yellow book, glanced at it casually, and shook the dust lightly: "Chang Ping has already left the palace, and continuing to control the Inner Palace Shipping Depot will easily cause criticism. From today, the Inner Palace Shipping Depot will be handed over to Liu Jin. "

His own daughter is not as good as a servant eunuch.

Princess Changping pursed her red lips tightly, without any argument, grievance and desolation inevitably appeared in her heart, but she didn't say a word.

The hall fell silent, as if it was waiting for Princess Changping to cry out, but it never came.

Emperor Jiazhen shook the dust again: "Ma Yun, the chief envoy in the mansion, has been diligent and loyal servant for many years. From today on, he will serve as the tax supervisor and eunuch of Chongwenmen."

Chongwenmen is the end of the canal. All merchant ships traveling north and south have to pay various taxes at Chongwenmen. It is not as expensive as the Neifu Shipping Depot, but it holds far more rights than the Neifu Shipping Depot.

The status of Princess Changping seems to have declined, but it has been overtly and secretly uplifted. From managing accounts in the past, she now holds the power of water transportation and taxation.

It seems that what was said in the hall had an effect, and it was an unexpected effect, making her no longer the eldest princess who was bullied by others.

Liu Jin became more and more uncomfortable, watching the back of Princess Changping leaving, her face was cloudy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Princess Changping sat in the red-painted barrier, and on the way back to the mansion, she was still dignified and luxurious as usual, nothing unusual.

Back in the embroidery room, Princess Changping personally lit the white-glazed high foot lamp, which illuminated the wing room brightly, and it was no longer dark.

Princess Changping looked at the expectant Hongqiao, and said, "Let's hand over the money and food accounts of the mansion to the son-in-law in the future."
