Stay with me, I rely on the childbearing system to get pregnant and dote on me alone

After the Autumn Festival, the entire court was enveloped in a tense atmosphere of approaching storm.

A case of official corruption broke out during the water conservancy construction project in the southeast.

The people who built the canals were starved to death and almost starved to death; but the officials' homes were filled with delicacies and they could sleep well.

When the news came out, people were furious.

Yelu Zongzheng was furious and began to order a thorough investigation of all the money items of the imperial court. He was the first to take action on the Ministry of Household Affairs. He wanted to check the account books over the years, find out the whereabouts of all the money, and never tolerate any corrupt officials.

But when this important task was mentioned in the morning, no one in the huge court dared to answer.

The emperor's face darkened, and he was about to get angry, when someone stood up from underneath.

Cha Jiu was wearing a crimson official robe, which made her face as bright as fire.

I saw her coming out to ask for orders, with a firm look on her face: "I am willing to share your Majesty's worries and conduct a thorough investigation of the money and accounts."

Everyone looked at her sideways and shook their heads.

Is it so easy to check accounts?

Not to mention that the accounts are all old and bad debts from previous generations. It would take several years just to sort out the pile of account books in the warehouse.

And who is behind the household department?

Elders of two dynasties, Prime Minister!

Anyone who dares to oppose the Prime Minister will be using an egg against a rock and a mantis' arm as a chariot, and will have no future at all.

The Prime Minister stood in front of the courtiers, not even giving Cha Jiu a glimpse of the corner of his eye.

It seems that he doesn't take Cha Jiu seriously at all.

He Jinfu also secretly glanced at her back in the queue of courtiers and sneered in his heart.

However, in the midst of many mocking looks, Cha Jiu remained firm in his heart, magnanimous and calm.

The anger on Yelu Zongzheng's face slowly dissipated.

What followed was a hearty laughter that spread throughout the hall.

"Okay, okay! You are indeed my beloved!"

Yelu Zongzheng stared deeply at Chajiu's isolated figure, but as proud and upright as a cedar tree. The admiration in his eyes became stronger and the love in his heart became hotter.

He is in a high position, overlooking the ministers, but he often feels extremely lonely and has no one to help him.

Now that Cha Jiu is here, there is someone in this lonely court who truly cares for him!

He already loved Chajiu, but now he was even more moved. Yelu Zongzheng simply waved his hand and generously delegated his authority: "Then the investigation of the accounts of the household department will be handed over to Aiqing. All officials in the six departments will obey your orders!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

Six ministries waiting to be dispatched?

This power is not inferior to that of the Prime Minister, right?

However, Yelu Zongzheng still felt that this was not enough, and even gave her a handwritten edict to avoid death, giving her the privilege to break the rules during the investigation, so she could investigate with confidence.

In addition, his personal companion sword was also given. If Cha Jiu encounters obstacles during the investigation, courtiers below the third rank can be killed first and then reported.

After hearing this, the prime minister's expression finally changed.

Cha Jiu was unfazed by the favor and humiliation, and thanked him for accepting the order.

The thoughts of many ministers also began to change. From the initial sympathy and ridicule towards Cha Jiu, they turned into envy and jealousy.

Your Majesty is willing to give these things, and anyone with a discerning eye can see his extraordinary love for the No. 1 Scholar.

With His Majesty and the decree to avoid death, what's the point of offending the Prime Minister?

Maybe after completing this matter, you can be promoted to an official position and become a new noble in the court!

After figuring this out, seven or eight ministers asked to see His Majesty after the morning court, hoping to help Master He investigate the accounts.

Yelu Zongzheng was nowhere to be seen.

After finally making it to the morning court, of course he had breakfast with his little champion.

Why are you talking to these bastard ministers?

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Knowing that His Majesty was going to have dinner with Mr. He, Eunuch Zhang sent a message back to Yangxin Hall early to prepare something for two people.

As a result, food, bowls and chopsticks were all prepared.

Why is there only one copper basin for washing hands?

Eunuch Zhang's expression changed, and he was about to scold the palace people for bringing in an extra basin of water.

But I saw His Majesty directly taking Master He's hand, putting it into the copper basin, and washing it together.

Eunuch Zhang was stunned: "?"

Xiao Shunzi passed by her adoptive father with a normal expression, holding a tray with soft towels to wait on the emperor and his ministers.

The copper basin is narrow and can accommodate one person's hand, but it is not enough for two people to wash together.

Chajiu's hands were small, so she squeezed as far as possible to make room for Yelu Zongzheng's big palms.

As a result, if she stepped back an inch, he would move in.

She retreated further, and he advanced further, and finally forced her hand into the corner, unable to move.

"..." How could Chajiu not see that Yelu Zongzheng was teasing her?

Glancing to the side, she saw that everyone in the palace had their heads lowered, so she bravely raised her hand, gently wiped a string of water drops on Yelu Zongzheng's face, and silently complained with her mouth: "Are you finished?"

Eunuch Zhang, who had been watching here, was suddenly frightened.

He was about to kneel down with his legs weak, but he heard His Majesty's joyful laughter.

Then there was a coaxing sound that was as soft as an auditory hallucination: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

This, this, this?

True to his word, Yelu Zongzheng took the soap and washed Chajiu's hands seriously, then took the soft towel to wipe her clean, and finally washed his hands with the water she used.

"Who are you looking for to help you with checking the accounts of the Household Department?"

Yelu Zongzheng turned away those seven or eight ministers because he saw clearly that these were people who fished in troubled waters and were greedy for profit, and could not really help at all.

But after all, the auditing matters can't all be placed on Cha Jiu. We need to find someone, and we need to find someone good and reliable.

Chajiu thought for a while: "I have a candidate in mind."

"who?"

"The son of the Minister of Hubu, Li Yuanlang."

Yelu Zongzheng said nothing.

Cha Jiu thought that he had forgotten who Li Yuanlang was, so he said: "At the elegant gathering in Xiyuan to discuss politics, I calculated how long it would take for the two strategies to be implemented to fill the treasury. Li Yuanlang's result was the same as my own. This man is extremely talented in arithmetic. Available."

Yelu Zongzheng's expression did not change: "I remember who he is."

That guy who doesn't know how to wink.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"If he can help you, let him work in the Ministry of Household Affairs." Yelu Zongzheng said: "There is just one thing, except for handling official duties, don't have too much contact with him the rest of the time."

What kind of strange request is this?

However, Chajiu still obediently agreed: "Okay."

"If he invites you outside the palace, you are not allowed to go."

"it is good."

"Don't mention your personal matters to him."

Cha Jiu couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it 'just a little'?"

Yelu Zongzheng reached out and pinched her face gently, lowering his voice and saying, "Be obedient, these are all for your own good."

He made these requests not out of jealousy.

But now Cha Jiu is a thorn in everyone's side and a thorn in the flesh. Countless people want to get rid of her, and everyone around her must be on guard.

What's more, Li Yuanlang is the son of the Minister of Hubu. Even though he is ignored by his father, he is also the enemy of this thorough investigation of the Hubu.

It's better to be cautious.

After talking about business, the two finally had the time to sit down and have breakfast.

There are many sweets on the table, but the taste of Cha Jiu is bland.

Some pastries were too greasy for her to eat after one bite, but in order not to waste them, she still bit the bullet and ate them bit by bit.

Yelu Zongzheng saw it and actually picked up the pastries on her plate that had been bitten but didn't like to eat, and put them into his mouth to eat.

His expression was very natural, without the slightest hint of disgust.

Cha Jiu was stunned.

Eunuch Zhang was also stunned.

Right now he.

I was sweating profusely.
