Consort, she is reborn

Tang Zhao has been helping Mingda handle government affairs in the princess mansion these days, and the two of them worked together to take care of the problematic courtiers in the court so smoothly that she forgot to go home when she was busy, as if she couldn't think of leaving.

At the end of May, the Tang family finally couldn't hold back, and sent someone to the princess mansion to pass on a message to Tang Zhao, asking her to go home.

The concierge of the princess mansion conveyed the advice of the Tang family diligently: "Tang Changshi, someone from your family said that your mother accidentally fell ill these days, and please go home."

Tang Zhao was startled when he heard such a conveyance, and immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, I understand, and I will go back later."

Naturally, the concierge didn't dare to say anything, and then quickly left.It was only after the concierge withdrew that Mingda finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Do you want to go back?"

Tang Zhao had nothing to hesitate, nodded and said, "I haven't been back for some days, it's time to go back."

Mingda was a little worried, subconsciously grabbed Tang Zhao's hand, frowned and said, "We've been doing so much these days... In case the Tang family suspects you or wants to use your hand to do something, how do you deal with it?"

Tang Zhao remained calm, patted her hand, and said, "It's okay, I can handle it." After speaking, he took Mingda's hand away, and said, "I have to go back now, and act more eagerly, so as not to suspicious."

Mingda was still worried, but Tang Zhao insisted and let her go.

Tang Zhao went back quickly, hurried back without even changing a piece of clothes.When she returned to Tang's house, she was even more eager. After entering the door, she ran directly back to the courtyard of the second room, caught a maid and asked, "What's the matter, Ma'am, why are you sick at this time?"

Perhaps Tang Zhao appeared too abruptly, and the maid caught by her was startled, apparently unable to react.Fortunately, there were other people in the yard, and Madam Wu, who was serving by Mrs. Xue's side, immediately stepped forward when she saw this, rescued the maidservant and said at the same time: "Mr. Panic, two days ago, I was greedy for cold and blowing a little more wind, so I got a little sick."

Tang Zhao nodded, his tense expression relaxed, and asked again: "Is Aunty all right now?"

Seeing that she cared about Mrs. Xue, Grandma Wu immediately smiled: "A little illness, when Madam sees Mr. Xue, she will recover soon."

As she spoke, Madam Wu led Tang Zhao into the house, and Tang Zhao also followed her kindly.It's just that she followed back with a calm expression on her face, but out of the corner of her eye, she also noticed the maid who was held by her before.

The servant girl was robbed by Wu Mama and kept silent, but she couldn't help showing two points of doubt on her face - Tang Zhao understood the doubt, and naturally guessed that Xue's illness was fake. And she pretended to be careless, even the maids in her yard didn't know about it.

Tang Zhao withdrew his gaze, and was led all the way to Mrs. Xue's room by Madam Wu, and saw Mrs. Xue lying on the bed with her forehead tied on her head.Her complexion was a little bit unwell, she looked sickly, but when she saw Tang Zhao came back, she was refreshed, she sat up and said, "Azhao, you are finally back, Aniang thought she couldn't see you anymore! "

Knowing that Mrs. Xue was pretending to be sick, Tang Zhao felt goose bumps when he was told this.However, looking through the previous memories, Tang Zhao was surprised to find that Xue always treated Tang Zhao with this attitude, and she should be used to it.

Feeling weird in his heart, Tang Zhao imitated his memory and said: "It's all my fault, I should come back to see A Niang sooner."

As expected, Mrs. Xue didn't show any abnormality when she heard the words, she took Tang Zhao's hand and started rambling again, it was nothing more than words of closeness and reluctance.Tang Zhao could see that what she said was sincere, and boldly guessed in his heart that Mrs. Xue might indeed be "Tang Zhao"'s biological mother.But even so, her attitude towards Tang Zhao was very strange, as if she had a... inexplicable possessive desire?

This sudden thought made Tang Zhao's thoughts wander for a while, but it didn't delay her from continuing to say something coaxing Xue Shi.Mrs. Xue was soon coaxed to be happy by Tang Zhao. If it wasn't for Mama Wu's help, she might have gotten out of bed by herself to expose the fake illness.

It wasn't Xue who asked him to come back, Tang Zhao quickly confirmed this.

Sure enough, Tang Mingdong arrived not long after.It was not easy for him to enter the widowed sister-in-law's house, so he waited outside, asking Tang Zhao to go out to meet him after visiting his illness—for a moment, Tang Zhao saw vigilance in Xue's eyes, that was a mother beast protecting her cubs. General gaze.

But it was only for a moment, and Xue Shi soon seemed to come back to his senses and returned to normal.She even took the initiative to push Tang Zhao's arm, and said to her, "Don't rush to leave when you come back today. Your uncle has something to ask you to talk to, and you will come back after you finish talking."

Tang Zhao didn't miss the change in Xue's expression. She was thoughtful, thinking that the secrets of the Tang family might not have been discovered by her, and they became more and more interesting.But she naturally wouldn't show these thoughts, she nodded obediently and agreed immediately: "Then I will stay at home tonight, mother, just wait for me to come back."

Xue Shiting

He became happy when he heard this, and said to her: "Talk to your uncle, and I will ask someone to prepare your favorite meals."

Tang Zhao smiled when he heard the words, nodded in agreement, and then went out to see Tang Mingdong.

As Tang Zhao had expected, this trip was called by Tang Mingdong with an excuse.After the two met and exchanged a few words, he began to insinuate: "Before, Xiu Muri Qilang would come back to see your mother, but recently he is too busy to go home."

Tang Zhao knew what he wanted to say, so he followed his words and said, "Well, the princess's mansion has been busy recently, and I really don't have time for it."

Tang Mingdong didn't make things difficult for her, nodded clearly, and continued: "I know that. The eldest princess has made a lot of noise in the court recently. I heard that many high-ranking officials have been resigned. It is normal for the princess's mansion to be busy. .”

Hearing that he changed the subject, Tang Zhao seemed to agree with him a few words—she didn't need to say more, and she didn't need to say more. When Mingda recruited her into the princess mansion, she was just a candidate for Sun Shan's exam.Not to mention what outsiders think, even the Tang family knew that she had hurt her hand before failing the exam, but they would not regard her as an amazing talent.When she entered the princess mansion, she naturally didn't feel that her long history was well deserved.

Because of Tang Mingdong's contempt from the bottom of his heart, he didn't test Tang Zhao deeply. After hearing Tang Zhao's ambiguous echo, he asked, "That's fine. Why does the eldest princess want to rectify the bureaucracy?"

Tang Zhao heard the words and said casually: "It's not considered to rectify the administration of officials. Cleaning up those corrupt officials is naturally because the treasury is short of money."

Tang Mingdong was startled when he heard this: "The treasury is short of money?"

Tang Zhao regained his energy all of a sudden, and lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, don't you know, our treasury in Daliang is almost empty. Either it is empty on the books, or it is empty in the treasury. I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Households accidentally checked the treasury and found Yes, there is a difference of more than one million taels between the book and the library. At that time, His Majesty was ill again, and the Minister of the Household Department had no choice but to find the eldest princess directly."

Enough said here.The national treasury was emptied, of course there was an investigation, and after the investigation, Hu Zhao, the left servant, naturally had no choice but to run away.But the money that has been removed cannot be found, and the empty state treasury has to be filled.And increasing taxes or other things are not as fast as checking corrupt officials.

Tang Mingdong listened and thought about it, and inexplicably thought of leeks—before being investigated by the court, those corrupt officials were all leeks that were allowed to grow wantonly. They grew fat and strong, attracting the hatred of everyone.But when the court needs money one day, they will be cut off as leeks. No one will think that the eldest princess is unreasonable. On the contrary, all she gets is praise for punishing corrupt officials.And when this gust of wind passes, the new batch of corrupt officials will be like a new batch of leeks, continuing to thrive until they are harvested.

Thinking of this, Tang Mingdong even shivered, forgetting his original intention for a moment.

It was Tang Zhao who saw him lost his mind, and reminded: "Uncle, are you okay?" After speaking, he urged: "I will only mention the treasury matter to you, so don't talk about it outside."

Tang Mingdong came back to his senses, nodded, hesitated and asked again: "Then those officials who were deposed this time were all because of greed?"

Tang Zhao nodded affirmatively, and said in a serious manner: "It's natural. To put it bluntly, I think the princess's investigation and punishment of corrupt officials is really a way to make a fortune. Uncle, you don't know how much money those people have been greedy. Stacked so high."

She made gestures as she spoke, and then continued to brag with Tang Mingdong.For example, how much silver was found in this family, how many treasures were found in that family, and how much world she saw in the ransacking of the house.

Tang Mingdong listened carefully to what she said, especially paying attention to the names Tang Zhao said, and clenched his fists in anger after hearing this—their power has suffered a lot during this period of time, and they thought it was Mingda who noticed something and intentionally against.However, after listening to Tang Zhao's words today, he realized that Mingda was not targeting them at all, but simply corrupt officials.It's a pity that those who were arrested were corrupt officials!

Out of the corner of Tang Zhao's eyes, Tang Zhao caught a glimpse of Tang Mingdong's clenched fist. He seemed dissatisfied, and added fuel to the fire: "But the strangest of these people is Hu Zhao, the left servant of the household department. He is a guard who stole the treasury Millions of taels of silver, but his family looked the poorest after the confiscation, he didn't spend the money, and he didn't know what he stole it for?"

Tang Mingdong's heart tightened immediately after hearing this, and he said, "Maybe it's hidden."

Tang Zhao did not refute, but nodded in agreement: "Anyway, His Highness will let him spit out the money."

Tang Mingdong thought: Impossible!

After calming down and thinking about it, Tang Mingdong couldn't help but feel sad—he didn't think Hu Zhao was anything special before, even if the other party got a lot of money, in Tang Mingdong's view, it was nothing more than withdrawing His Majesty's treasury in advance.As a result, looking at it today, he is the only one who really does his best for His Majesty's great cause, and the rest are all burdened by selfishness.

For a moment, Tang Mingdong even had the idea of ​​saving someone, but he couldn't do it due to the situation.It's just that under the guidance of Tang Zhao's words, he thought about waiting for the limelight to pass. If he could rescue Hu Zhao's family, would it be considered a friendship?
