Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 273 Targeting Military Families

Early the next morning, Xiao Jinyao specially waited for King An and Xiao Luofan to go to court together.

"Are you going to the court today to talk about what happened yesterday?" King An asked uneasily.

Xiao Luofan also felt guilty and uneasy, so he pricked up his ears and listened to Xiao Jinyao's answer.

However, Xiao Jinyao pretended to be mysterious and asked: "Father, do you think it is necessary to say this?"

When asked like this, King An couldn't continue.

And Xiao Luofan didn't have the courage to speak. It was not embarrassing enough that his plan failed.

"Wouldn't it be known when we get to the court? Aren't my father and second brother both going to the court? Let's listen together then."

Xiao Jinyao's words made people feel more and more that he really had the intention to speak out.

Wang An and Xiao Luofan looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

But they had no choice but to go to court.

Above the court, Prince An could not concentrate his attention, and Xiao Luofan didn't know what he was thinking. Listening to the ministers reporting on government affairs one by one, it was like a duck listening to thunder. There was nothing at all. Ways to lift your spirits.

Everyone finally fell silent, and then Xiao Jinyao stood up.

Seeing him coming out of the queue, King An was heartbroken.

If we really look into what happened yesterday, even if there is really no evidence, someone will know that it was Xiao Luofan and the others who did it.

Tian Dekun simply took leave today and didn't come. It was obvious whether he felt guilty or not.

"Prince An, do you have something to report?" the emperor asked.

"As far as the emperor is concerned, yes."

Xiao Jinyao also looked at Xiao Luofan specifically. That look made Xiao Luofan feel that he was about to die.

"Your Majesty may have heard that when my wife's clothing store opened yesterday, someone went to make trouble in front of Baixing Pharmacy..."

King An was confused, but he still said it.

Xiao Luofan was already thinking about how to become invisible. He must not admit anything.

"Have you found the person behind it?" The emperor didn't talk nonsense. He also thought Xiao Jinyao was doing it for this.

As a result, Xiao Jinyao shook his head and said, "Just keep it in your heart. This matter is not as important as what I want to say."

This time everyone was confused. This didn't seem to fit the prince's character.

Wang An and Xiao Luofan didn't understand either. Is his turning point to hit them harder?

"The innocent sergeant yesterday was a Gyeonggi city defense soldier. He worked very hard on weekdays. His daughter was even more innocent and pitiful. She was almost killed by her own mother and uncle, and was not welcomed by her grandfather and grandma. Now that sergeant has no How can I take care of my daughter alone and take care of my own duties..."

After Xiao Jinyao said it, all the ministers felt that this was indeed a real problem.

But most officials feel, what does this have to do with them?

Anyway, they never thought about how the inconvenience of the lives of the common people and these ordinary soldiers would affect them.

The emperor asked: "So, what do you want to say?"

Xiao Jinyao held up the handwritten letter and said: "This is what my wife wrote yesterday and overnight, about the plan to take care of the children of these sergeants... We all feel that these sergeants protect their families and the country, and the court should let them have no worries. In this way Only then will they serve the country better..."

When the ministers heard this, they felt that this idea was indeed very upright and serious.

King An had just put his mind down, but now he raised it again.

How many people is this kid going to amaze?

Time and time again, he proposed such ideas to benefit the country and the people in the court. Didn't he compare Xiao Luofan to others and leave him with no way to survive?

At this time, the eldest prince Xiao Yian said: "Father, after listening to what my cousin said, I deeply feel that as a prince, I did not think of these issues in time, which was a bit derelict in my duty. I absolutely agree with my cousin's concerns and suggestions."

He did know how to increase his popularity. At this time, he was the first to stand up and support, and he could also be seen by all the ministers.

"Yao'er, keep talking."

The emperor had just received the handwritten letter, indicating that he should continue to explain.

Xiao Jinyao ignored Xiao Yian and continued: "The city defense sergeants are relatively better off. After all, they are in Kyoto, and there is a rotation system. There is always time to go home, but the border guards have to be away all year round. If they have someone at home, With a wife and children, the upbringing of children is a very difficult issue, and many peers will bully these children whose fathers are not around all year round."

The topics he talks about are very down-to-earth and everyone can understand them.

"If the imperial court helps them take good care of their families so that they have no worries, whether it is guarding the border or in case of war, they will be more loyal to their duties, because this imperial court is worth it..."

After hearing this, the ministers began to discuss again.

Some people think this idea is good, but some people think that they also have military pay and have the opportunity to make contributions. Those who are not good at school have no choice but to go to the military camp. If they are given special care, then the truly talented people will It should be taken care of more. Taking care of me like this is equivalent to not taking care of anyone.

Xiao Jinyao listened to these shameless remarks, which were made by civilian officials who usually looked down on generals and sergeants, especially those who only liked to talk on paper, be impassioned, and started to make things difficult for others to make themselves important when they had some power in their hands.

He did not start cursing directly now, but continued to elaborate on his point of view: "Our idea is to open some schools to teach the children of these sergeants. It can also be fully managed, that is, the children can live there and have specialized people to manage them. , so that even the sergeants who encountered what happened yesterday don’t have to worry. They can send their children to school when they are on duty, and enjoy their family together when they go home. The wife also mentioned that if there are no children at home, but there are elderly people , or you can send it to Sunset Red Nursing Home..."

Many people have begun to admire these ideas.

The Crown Princess never just puts forward a simple idea. She will clearly explain the motivation and purpose, and then explain the methods and steps clearly, which can better explain the significance of doing so.

Now the emperor's eyes lit up again. Such a good idea was a bit difficult to put into practice.

After all, there are a huge number of sergeants across the country, and it will take a lot of effort to build a school that can accommodate their children.

It seems that if Shu Yunzhao doesn't take action, it will be a big deal.

"Please forgive me, please speak frankly. When Princess Concubine said this, it was easy and pleasant, and her reputation was resounding, but it was too difficult to do..."

The person who spoke was Lu Jingzhi, the Minister of Household Affairs.

During this period of time, he was able to avoid the sanctions of Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao because of other people's troubles.

Xiao Jinyao looked at him and said: "So Mr. Lu, do you think it is easy for you to be a minister? You have to be worthy of the emperor's trust, you have to be worthy of thousands of people, and you have to be worthy of your own conscience. Isn't it too much? Is it difficult? It’s too difficult and you shouldn’t do it. Otherwise, why don’t you resign?”
