Chapter 217

Ping'an County lives in a remote area, economically underdeveloped, and belongs to a poor area.

Most of the officials don't want to be assigned to Ping'an County, after all, people who are used to big fish and big meat naturally don't look down on mediocrity.

Every time they were assigned to be officials in Ping'an County, they tried their best to climb up, just because they didn't want to stay.

Others didn't stay in Ping'an County for long, and then resigned with various excuses.

In the first two months, the new official was arranged to take office in Ping'an County.

Unexpectedly, not long after that, a famine broke out, and the entire Ping'an County was even sealed off. This is simply treating human lives as nonsense.

Immediately, after learning about this matter, Su Jing sent imperial envoys and guards to Ping'an County to deal with the matter, and at the same time opened the granary to let the people get through this.

The imperial envoy took the order, and set off with the guards and the emperor's will non-stop.

but
The new official in Ping'an County is afraid that he has made it to the top, and may even lose his life.

Su Jing started to deal with the affairs of Ping'an County, but he didn't let go completely. He even sent Xiao Li to follow in secret. Once he saw the imperial envoy encountered something that was related to his life, he would immediately rescue him.

What's more, it's not a good idea for the new official to do such a thing as sealing off Ping'an County.

at this time.

Ping An County.

"Shang Ziru, do you know that there has been an order from the palace to take your head back."

"Master Qing, ah, no, you are no longer Lord Qing, haha, Young Master Su, stop joking, as long as I seal up Ping'an County, who will know what I have done in Ping'an County? "

Shang Ziru is the parent official of Ping'an County.

And the one who is called Prince Qing is naturally Su Changqing who heard the news and came to Ping'an County to win people's hearts.

Hearing this, Su Changqing sneered: "Do you really think that no rumors can get out? Then why, I can hear the wind again?"

"Do you think you can escape after doing so many stupid things?"

"Young Master Su, you can escape as a prince and treason, but why can't you escape when you are on me?"

Shang Ziru was not worried about Su Changqing's threat at all.

Moreover, Ping'an County is far away from Shengjing, and it is remote. There are poor mountains and bad waters everywhere. If he doesn't think about himself, then it is meaningless for him to stay in Ping'an County.

Shang Ziru shook his head: "Speaking of which, Mr. Su is really a role model. If you don't want to be a good prince, you must be a traitor. Tsk tsk tsk, now you still want to cooperate with me."

Shang Ziru said lightly, "I don't know where Mr. Su got such a big face."

When there was a famine in Ping'an County, Shang Ziru had already emptied the granary, and there was no rice left. Even if he complained everywhere, so what, even though he said it was an order from above, these people couldn't run out to complain anyway. Tell him he can have whatever he wants.

This is also the reason why Shang Ziru was willing to accept the transfer order to come to Ping'an County.

"Are you determined not to cooperate with me?"

Su Changqing said with a serious face: "Once all the people in Ping'an County are dead, do you think you can really survive?"

"Young Master Su, we don't need you to take care of the affairs of our Ping'an County," Shang Ziru said with a threatening face: "However, since you have already entered, then don't think about going out."

"Sooner or later you will agree to my cooperation."

Su Changqing spoke lightly.

Since we can't agree now, let's look again.

but--

Once the hearts of the people in Ping'an County are uncertain, perhaps it is not impossible to turn Su Jing against him.

Su Changqing left Shangfu without looking back.

When he came out, he saw Concubine Gu Huai and Wuying standing at the door of the Shang Mansion waiting for him.

Wu Ying was leaning against the wall, when he saw Su Changqing, he stood up straight and called out: "Master".

"Your Excellency."

Concubine Gu Huai quickly walked towards Su Changqing, she was worried: "How is the situation? Has Master Shang agreed to cooperate with us?"

"not yet."

Su Changqing shook her head, seeing Concubine Gu Huai's disappointed expression, Su Changqing paused, and continued: "However, I think Shang Ziru will definitely agree."

He will definitely be able to take the Ping'an County first before Su Jing sends people over.

He wants to take away everything that belongs to Su Jing bit by bit.

"Will he really agree?"

"Just let him think about it first."

Concubine Gu Huai also heard about Shang Ziru in her previous life, but it was a long time later, she only vaguely remembered that after the famine broke out in Ping'an County, he took all the valuable things and flew away.

As a result, Ping'an County was almost destroyed. At that time, the tyrant was furious and issued an order to kill Shang Zi, but when she was dying, she still did not hear about Shang Ziru's whereabouts.

It can be seen how mysterious Shang Ziru's ability is.

Now, Concubine Gu Huai and Su Changqing came here to win over Shang Ziru.

Su Changqing wanted Shang Ziru to cooperate with him in rebelling against the current king of the Su Kingdom—Su Jing.

But Shang Ziru refused to agree.

Su Changqing was thoughtful, it seemed that Shang Ziru would soon flee in fear of crime.

"Let's go back first."

"Ah."

The place where Su Changqing and Concubine Gu Huai lived was bought by Wuying himself, the other courtyard is relatively remote, few people would pass by there.

On the way back, all I saw were starving people with yellow faces and thin faces, including old people and children, all stretching their necks and crying for what they want to eat.

However, Su Changqing and Concubine Gu Huai had already been hardened by the death of the previous life, and they didn't even look at them, they just walked past those common people and returned to the other courtyard.

Although there is a famine in Ping'an County, it is actually ordinary people who suffer.

Even if those rich and big families were affected, they would barely have surplus food in their families, let alone the big families who were close to Shang Ziru.

One has money, the other has food, and they are in collusion.

Gold was exchanged for food, and prices were soaring, and Shang Ziru made a lot of money in an instant.

Unfortunately, no one dared to resist.
-
Shengjing.

Wanhuang Palace.

"What? You said your majesty got angry when he went to court?"

Mu An'an had just washed up and was about to eat, when he heard Wu Zhizhi mention this, Mu An'an was immediately surprised, "Why is your majesty suddenly angry? Could it be that those ministers forced him to do something he didn't like?" What happened?"

"It seems not."

Wu Zhizhi shook her head, she thought about it seriously, "I just heard something, it seems that there is a famine in Ping'an County, but Mr. Shang, who is the parent officer of Ping'an County, has blocked the Ping'an County regardless of the lives of the people. Now I don’t even know what’s going on inside.”

"At that time, the official who recommended Mr. Shang was scolded by the king, and even removed his official position on the spot. The king said yes. When Ping'an County can be restored to its original state, that official will be restored to his original post. "

"Famine in Ping'an County?"

Mu Anan stood up abruptly, no, why didn't she remember the famine in Ping'an County mentioned in the original book?
Mu An'an hurriedly said, "Zhizhi, is what you said true?"

"That's all the courtiers have heard. If the empress wants to know whether it is true or not, why don't you just ask the king?"

Wu Zhizhi said.

"Okay, then I'll go and ask him in person what's going on."

Saying that, Mu Anan was about to walk out of the hall, but was stopped by Wu Zhizhi quickly, "Your Majesty, even if you are worried about Your Majesty, you should finish your breakfast first before going, otherwise, once you are caught Your Majesty knows that Your Majesty didn't eat breakfast, so I'm afraid he will be even more angry."

Mu Anan: "."

How can there be such an exaggeration.

But I thought so, but Mu An'an obediently ate breakfast before going to find Su Jing.

She put down the bowl with a little porridge left, blinked at Wu Zhizhi and said, "Zhizhi, it's okay, right?"

"Of course it's possible, ma'am."

Wu Zhizhi was teased by the empress and pursed her lips into a smile.

When Mu Anan left Wanhuang Hall, he didn't bring Wu Zhizhi with him. After all, in the palace, who would not know that Empress Jun looks like her?

Even the title of Empress Dowager has been spread throughout the palace.

Mu Anan.
She has to persuade herself in her heart that she must be treated in a Buddhist way. This title is the deep and true love of the people for her.

Except for going to the early court and not staying in the Wanhuang Palace, even if Mu An'an didn't have to guess, he would know that Su Jing would definitely stay in the Imperial Study Room.

Sure enough, before she reached the imperial study, she saw Eunuch Min standing outside the hall with a sad face, and seemed to be holding a food box in his hand.

Mu An was surprised, could it be that Su Jing was so angry that she didn't have breakfast?
Thinking of such a possibility, Mu Anan immediately walked over quickly.

"Eunuch Min?"

Hearing Niangniang's voice suddenly, Eunuch Min raised his head immediately, his eyes lit up when he saw Mu An'an, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"

"Ok?"

Mu An'an looked away from the food box in his hand, looking at Eunuch Min with a listless expression, she asked curiously, "What did Your Majesty do?"

"Returning to your mother, the Lord has not had breakfast since the early days, and now the servants are worried that the Lord will meet."

Eunuch Min let out a long sigh.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For the rest, even if Eunuch Min didn't say it, Mu An'an already understood.

Mu An'an said: "Give the food box to Bengong, I will go in and have a look at Your Majesty."

"Madam, please persuade the king to come on."

Eunuch Min handed the food box to Mu An'an, and reported to her in detail what happened during the morning court today.

Mu An'an nodded repeatedly.

She took the food box: "I understand."

With that said, Mu Anan carried the food box and walked towards the main hall of the Imperial Study.

She walked very carefully, trying not to make any noise, but just when Mu Anan was about to open the door quietly, she heard Su Jing's voice coming from inside: "Who?"

"Cough cough."

Mu An'an coughed lightly, and deliberately lowered his voice, "If you go back to your majesty, Xiao Anzi has brought your majesty's order to deliver breakfast to your majesty."

Su Jing: "."

The words were finished, but Mu An'an didn't hear the slightest movement inside. She even lay on the door, but she still didn't hear Su Jing allowing her to enter.

Just when she was about to say it again.

The door was opened suddenly.

then
Mu An'an was leaning against the door, but now, as soon as the door opened, she immediately fell forward without any precaution.

Seeing that he was about to have a close contact with the earth, Mu An'an quickly closed his eyes——

"An An."

The next moment, Mu An'an was hugged by Su Jing, and she even held the food box in her hand firmly.

When Mu Anan saw Su Jing, he still had lingering fears: "I kindly came here to bring you breakfast, but I didn't expect that you gave me such a big gift. Do you know that just now, you were about to kill me? Terrified!"

Su Jing didn't expect the little girl to lie on the door.

He heard Mu An'an's voice from inside, so he came here to open the door for her, but he almost made her fall to the ground unexpectedly.

Fortunately, he hugged her in time.

Su Jing rubbed her ears, pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "It's my fault, I shouldn't scare An An like this."

"It was your fault."

Mu Anan raised her eyes and glared at him, then gently pushed him away, and she walked into the room: "However, since you all know that you made a mistake, then hurry up and eat breakfast first, otherwise, I will I won't forgive you for the mistake you just made."

"Xiao Anzi?"

Su Jing couldn't help laughing, he was talking about her self-proclaimed just now, "How do I remember that there was a little Anzi outside the door who said that he came to bring me breakfast at the order of Empress Jun?"

"Then, by the way, An An, where is little An Zi?"

Mu Anan: "."

Mu An'an put the food box on the table, opened it, and laid out the breakfast inside one by one.

She smiled and said: "There is no such thing as Xiao Anzi, I personally came here to deliver the love breakfast to Junshang, Junshang just heard hallucinations, right?"

Su Jing looked at her with a half-smile: ".Maybe?"

Mu An'an pretended not to hear, she sat aside and set the jade chopsticks for him, "I already had breakfast when I came here, now I'll watch you finish eating."

There are a total of nine snacks on the table, more than twice as many as Mu An'an usually eats in the bedroom.

Usually, Mu An'an rarely eats breakfast with Su Jing, after all, she has never been able to get out of bed.

And Sujing had to go to court at Maoshi, so the two of them had breakfast at different times. Naturally, Mu Anan didn't know that Sujing's breakfast had so many tricks.

Although the same portion is not much.

Su Jing frowned, looked at Mu An'an and said, "I don't want to eat by myself, An An, you come too."

"But there is only one pair of jade chopsticks."

Mu An'an said, "Could it be that we have to share a pair?"

Su Jing asked back: "Why not?"

He even wanted to feed Mu An'an with his own hands, and he wanted to watch Mu An'an eat, so that he could eat.

Mu Anan: "..."

Mu An'an stared at Sujing for a moment, but she still couldn't bear to let him down, so she nodded: "Okay then, I'll eat a little more with you?"
