Married a proud husband after farming

640 Seeking Asylum
Rong Jiu's heart was full of waves, and after he was astonished, he pursed his lips and said, "After sorting out the memorials, you still miss me, so I won't do it. If you lack a female official, those noble girls from aristocratic families will give you more." pick."

Accompanying you to the court to review the memorials, no matter how many people ask for it, the Emperor Chu did not expect you to refuse so thoroughly: "There is no one available around me."

"I don't care, anyway, I won't do it." Rong Jiu pushed the memorial in front of him, got up and was about to leave.

"Come back to me!"

"What are you trying to plot against me?"

"What can I plot against you? I think you are a useful talent, and you have people in mind."

Rong Jiu sat down again, sorted out some important memorials, and handed them to Emperor Chu: "Father, if it weren't for a father like Rong Qingshan, I would have suspected that I was your illegitimate daughter living abroad."

Emperor Chu's face turned red, and he coughed lightly: "My sons and daughters are not as lazy as you, all of whom are trying to gain power."

"If I didn't want to accompany Shen Cheng, I would not have come to Chang'an. Although Chang'an is prosperous, there is no country where you can feel comfortable. In my medicine village, the herbs are lush and fragrant, and there is a bamboo hut on the hillside. Enjoy the sunset and the stars, the flowing clouds and the morning glow, if the emperor is free someday, I will accompany you to stay for a few days."

When Emperor Chu heard the words, he also yearned for it.

Rong Jiu sorted out the memorials in the Zichen Palace, and returned to Chu Palace at dusk. Shen Cheng came back from the Yamen, saw her rubbing her shoulders, and couldn't help but gently kneaded: "Why are you so tired? What did you do today?"

"I showed Father the memorial all afternoon, and my neck is sore."

Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty actually asked you to sort the memorials."

Rong Jiu closed his eyes and said "yes": "He still wanted me to attend the court, but I refused."

At five o'clock, when the morning drum on the Chengtian gate rang, she had to get up and go to court. It was not yet bright at that time, so she was not spared the crime.

"The more His Majesty favors you, the more you will be hated. Ah Jiu, you have to be careful in everything."

"I know."

In the early dynasty, Rong Jiu proposed to rectify the administration of officials, and Emperor Chu ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Yushitai to conduct a thorough investigation, and many people felt panicked.

At night, many people went to the prime minister's mansion to look for Prime Minister Xiao.

A minister said: "My lord, is your majesty planning to do something to the family?"

Prime Minister Xiao didn't care too much: "Some people are greedy and they kill them, so what's the use of keeping them?"

Hearing the words, several people looked at each other, some couldn't sit still, and said anxiously: "If the investigation is allowed to continue, many of our people will be implicated. If you don't think of a way to save it, won't you destroy your own foundation?"

Prime Minister Xiao said faintly: "I have reminded you a long time ago, don't push too hard in everything, as long as your hands and feet are clean, this fire will not burn you."

"My lord, don't you care?"

"If my lord ignores it, won't it chill the hearts of those ministers who support the Xiao family?"

They came to the prime minister's mansion to discuss countermeasures and seek asylum, but as a result, prime minister Xiao let go, and the ministers panicked for a while.

Prime Minister Xiao said: "What great things can greedy people achieve? If I am counting on them to achieve great things, why worry about being overthrown by Rong Jiu? His Majesty will not kill all the officials above the third rank. My lords, this should be filled in." , fill it in quickly, so as not to be difficult to explain in the future."

Several people responded, complaining in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say more, so they had to back down.

When Xiao Jue stepped into the study, he didn't quite understand: "When there are no corrupt officials, if father can't protect the people under him, who will be willing to work for the Xiao family in the future?"
