My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister

"Dad, mother!"

Song Qingcheng fell into Madam Song's arms like a tired bird flying into the forest.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on Song Qingcheng's face, he felt a little relieved.

Song Qingcheng naturally knew that the two of them must be somewhat dissatisfied that Pei Huaizhi did not come.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Do you have the peach pancakes I like today?"

Madam Song pointed at Song Qingcheng's smooth forehead lovingly, "Little greedy cat!"

"Let's go back home!"

Song Qingcheng put one hand around Mrs. Song's arm and the other around General Song's arm.

"Let's go home and eat cherry fried dumplings!"

General Song looked at his daughter and saw that she didn't look like she was being bullied. His anger subsided a lot. "You're already married, why are you still so disrespectful?"

General Song blamed Song Qingcheng the most, but he did not shake off her hand.

"Old Song, please stop making trouble. You must have missed me so much in the few days I was away!"

Song Qingcheng said mischievously.

"Humph!"

General Song remained silent and looked stubborn.

Madam Song whispered, "Don't think your father doesn't say anything. He has been suffering from insomnia for the past three days. One time, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw your father sitting in front of the lamp, wiping his tears alone!"

After being exposed, he said, "Madam, why are you saying this?"

Madam Song glanced at General Song with her beautiful eyes, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

General Song was most afraid of his beloved wife, so he stopped talking immediately.

"I know that Lao Song loves me the most!"

The family was talking and laughing.

Sure enough, the food prepared in the flower hall was all Song Qingcheng's favorite.

From the previous life to today, Song Qingcheng felt a bitterness in her heart.

Just as Song Qingcheng was about to pick up her chopsticks, General Song hit the back of her hand lightly.

"Why didn't Huaizhi come back with you? He seems a little unhappy with us!"

General Song asked.

Mrs. Song also followed General Song's words and asked, "Yes, why did you come back alone?", and then she glanced at Nanny Zhang.

Song Qingcheng looked at the tempting cherry pancake and wanted to eat it. "The palace has an urgent order. It must be something important. I don't know when I can come back. My daughter will go back by herself first."

After saying this, General Song and his wife felt relieved.

Knowing that Pei Huaizhi couldn't get away, there was no need to wait.

So he picked up some of Song Qingcheng's favorite food.

“It’s delicious!”

Song Qingcheng was satisfied.

Madam Zhang, I have prepared spring clothes for Qingcheng. Please come with me to get them.

Nanny Zhang thought she understood what Madam Song meant, so she followed Madam Song out of the flower hall.

After turning around, "Miss, are you all right in the mansion? I heard that Mrs. Xie is very pretentious and always likes to pretend to be ordinary in everything. I hope she didn't make things difficult for you."

On the way here, Song Qingcheng specifically told Nanny Zhang not to talk nonsense so as not to worry the general and his wife.

Except for the fact that the matter with her brother-in-law is not very optimistic, the young lady did not suffer any loss.

"Madam, rest assured. The young lady is kind-hearted and intelligent. She is doing well in the Duke's Mansion!"

Madam Song nodded, "I will be careful now. The young lady is still young, and the Duke's wife has many connections. Even if she is smart, there are still unexpected things. The maids are also young. Madam, you need to help her with everything."

"Madam, rest assured. Even if I fight with my old bones, I will not let Sister Cheng be bullied in the slightest!"

Nanny Zhang was also moved.

"Good good!"

The two of them took their clothes and returned to the flower hall.

I saw the father and daughter talking to each other in a random manner.

"Why didn't I see my brothers today?"

Song Qingcheng was puzzled. Based on her understanding of the two brothers, her brothers would definitely not be absent for such an important event as her return home.

At the same time, Pei Huaizhi was summoned by the Emperor of Wei to enter the palace. The Emperor of Wei met him in the study of the Qianqing Palace. The Emperor of Wei looked at the talented minister with great satisfaction.

Pei Huaizhi stood in front of the table neither humble nor arrogant.

I heard that the six ministries all have their eyes on you and want you to go and observe government affairs.

It was impossible to tell whether the Emperor of Wei was happy or angry in his voice.

"Huaizhi is grateful for your Majesty's teachings!"

"Huaizhi, when did you learn to be polite to me? Tell me, which government office you want to go to?"

Pei Huaizhi's expression did not change at all, and he said naturally: "It's up to your Majesty to order!"

"I want you to go to the Ministry of Revenue!"

The Emperor of Wei tapped the table in front of him.

"In recent years, the national treasury has been empty year after year. The Jinling area in the south of the Yangtze River is the richest place in my Great Wei, but the tax revenue has been reduced by 80% to 90% year after year. The old-timers in the south of the Yangtze River can only cry poor to me. Do they know that I can't do anything about them?"

The Emperor of Wei narrowed his eyes dangerously. "The forces in the south of the Yangtze River are complicated and intricate. Knowing that the imperial court will not easily touch them, they have become more and more unscrupulous, defying the laws of the country. The officials and businessmen have colluded and become the cancer of our Great Wei. If this continues, it will shake the foundation of the country. How can we allow them to mess around?"

Pei Huaizhi listened respectfully, and naturally knew that the problems in the Jiangnan area had accumulated for a long time and had exceeded the limit of His Majesty's tolerance.

As for the Jiangnan region, the reason why the Emperor of Wei was so troubled can be traced back to the time of Emperor Taizu.

Emperor Taizu conquered many places and his hiding place was Nanjing. After the world was settled, Emperor Taizu moved the capital from Nanjing to Shangjing in order to consolidate his rule. Some civil and military officials who had served as his successors moved to Shangjing with Emperor Taizu. Song Qingcheng's ancestor was one of them.

Another group of meritorious officials were reluctant to leave their homeland and begged Emperor Taizu to allow them to stay in Nanjing.

This is where the problem lies. Human greed is insatiable. Those loyal ministers and generals of the past hundred years have passed away, and their descendants are of mixed quality. There are many powerful families who refute the law and occupy land. After a hundred years of development, Jinling has become known as a small imperial court.

It is unreasonable to allow others to sleep soundly in the same bed, so the Emperor of Wei had already decided to send people to the south of the Yangtze River to sort out the taxes and clear out the land and people occupied by the wealthy families. This move naturally infringed on the interests of the officials, nobles and wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River. Because of this matter, it has been a hot topic in the court, and there have been verbal battles for several days, and the officials from the Ministry of Revenue who were sent there have returned empty-handed.

It has now become the most difficult issue in the court.

Solving the Jiangnan issue is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, but due to the failure of the last candidate, the emperor and the cabinet finally discussed and decided to select one person to go. In order to be legitimate, the candidate must come from the Ministry of Revenue.

The selection of personnel is crucial. If this matter is done well, it will be passed down in history. If it is done carelessly, it will be infamous for eternity. This matter is extremely serious. If there is no thundering means, the matter will be messed up and the lives of the whole family will be lost.

This person gave Emperor Wei a headache.

Besides, not everyone can go.

The Emperor of Wei discussed with the cabinet for a long time before deciding on Pei Huaizhi.

Pei Huaizhi was extremely intelligent and meticulous, which was rare in the court. In addition, Pei Huaizhi was not involved in party affairs, so there was no need to worry about him being partial to his friends and bending the law. This was the second reason why the Emperor of Wei considered this.

The third most important reason is.
