Shangqing Palace,
As soon as Yang Dong entered the palace gate, he found broken porcelain pieces at his feet.
I immediately felt extremely vigilant in my heart.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty asked me to come here. What's the matter?"
The empress had no expression on her face. She pointed at the brocade box in Qingniao's hand and said:
"This is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng that Korea paid tribute to last year. You can take it back for good health."
"I'm going to show off at the Jinxiu Palace tonight, so you should prepare early."
"If you don't torture the queen until dawn, I will take your head. Do you understand?"
As soon as Yang Dong heard this, his defense broke instantly.
Although he has a golden finger, isn't this too often?
This Ji Ziyue clearly regards me as a donkey of the production team!
He immediately grimaced and said:
"Your Majesty, how can you bully people like this? You clearly promised to let me rest for three days, but the three hours haven't even come yet!"
"I know you are angry with that old dog Lin Chunqiu, but you can't do this!"
"Your Majesty, cows are really exhausted!"
When the empress heard that Yang Dong dared to reject her, her anger that had calmed down suddenly surged out again. She pulled out the Qiu Shui sword and growled:
"You little Dongzi, how dare you disobey me!"
"Qingniao, get this kid for me, I will kill him with my own hands!"
Upon hearing the order, Qingniao raised her jade hand and grabbed Yang Dong's collar.
Yang Dong's expression changed, but he did not dare to resist at all.
Are you kidding? He is only a seventh-grade warrior, how can he be the opponent of the Empress's guards?
But this blue bird is too bullying! An old man like me was actually lifted up by one of her hands. Don't I want to lose face?
Hey you bluebird, I will remember you!
Although Yang Dong's inner drama is extremely rich, on the surface, he has to give in temporarily.
"Your Majesty, please show mercy! I did not mean to disobey Your Majesty, but I feel sorry for Your Majesty!"
"What are you feeling sorry for me about?"
The empress' willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her red phoenix eyes with a touch of majesty fell on Yang Dong.
"I'm just sorry that Your Majesty clearly has a talented person in front of you, but you just let him do some things that are done by donkeys in the production team. What a waste!"
"hehe!"
The empress sneered, but put away the Qiushui sword.
"You claim to be a wise man, but you are quite thick-skinned!"
"Tell me how you can help me."
When Yang Dong saw the empress put away the Qiushui sword, he breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, his brain started working rapidly.
The empress was angry simply because she was manipulated by the old dog Lin Chunqiu. Regarding the flood in Luochuan, even though she was well prepared, she was not strong enough. Therefore, it is helpless to adjust border military rations.
But just because you are helpless doesn't mean that I am helpless too. The information given by Uncle Zhang will be put to use now!
Yang Dong secretly rejoiced, but he didn't show it on his face.
He bowed slightly and said:
"Your Majesty is worried about the flood in Luozhou?"
"Huh? You actually saw it!"
A flash of surprise flashed across the empress's majestic cheeks.
"In that case, do you have any good ideas?"
When Yang Dong saw that he had guessed correctly, he struck while the iron was hot:
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I think this method of adjusting border military rations is not a good idea. Even if it can solve the urgent need, it will still hurt the hearts of the border soldiers."
When the empress heard this, her eyes brightened slightly.
She didn't expect Yang Dong, a mere little eunuch in the harem, to be so knowledgeable. She really underestimated him.
"Then do you have any good ideas?"
When Yang Dong heard the empress' question, he knew that the other party had taken the bait, so he continued:
"Of course there are good strategies, but I want to ask your Majesty a question first!"
"If you have any questions, just ask them directly, don't show off in front of me!"
The empress snorted coldly, but her expression softened a lot.
Yang Dong also knew the principle of giving up when things are good, so he asked:
"Your Majesty, does he know how much grain was put into the national treasury last year and how much grain was transferred out this year?"
The empress didn't know what kind of medicine Yang Dong was selling in the gourd, but she still said:
"Last year, 3 million shi of various types of grain and grass were stored in the warehouse, and 2 million shi have been transferred out this year."
"Does Your Majesty know how much food an ordinary person can eat in a day?"
"This...is no more than three to five kilograms!"
"That's the problem!"
Yang Dong suddenly raised his head and chest, a sense of confidence emerged spontaneously, and his aura suddenly changed.
When the empress saw this, Danfeng's eyes flashed with a strange light.
She suddenly realized that Xiao Dongzi was completely different from the eunuchs in the palace. He is a completely different person.
Yang Dong did not notice the change in the empress' eyes, but continued to talk:
"Actually, this is just a simple mathematical calculation. Counting millions of people, the frontier army's food consumption in one month is only more than ten thousand dan at most. But today at the court, Mr. Hu said that more than 100,000 dan is only the expenditure of the army in one quarter. .”
"Even if the grain and fodder shipped to the border has been consumed, it has suddenly increased three times. Does Your Majesty think this is normal?"
As soon as these words came out, the empress's face suddenly changed, becoming as gloomy as water.
"This group of rebellious officials and traitors dare to attack our treasury. They should be killed!"
"Xiao Dongzi, you did a good job. I underestimated you before."
"Qingniao, I order you to immediately investigate the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. You would rather kill them by mistake than let them go!"
The blue bird took the order and turned to leave. Yang Dong took a step forward and stopped in front of Qingniao.
Qingniao raised his eyebrows and said angrily:
"What are you doing? Do you want to disobey His Majesty's order again?"
The smile on Yang Dong's face remained unchanged, but he had already begun to curse in his heart.
You bluebird, here you go to slander me again.
If you don't spank your butt into eight pieces in the future, I will take your last name!
"Ahem, Miss Jade Bird misunderstood me. The reason why I stopped you is because you couldn't find anything even if you went to the Ministry of Finance."
The empress frowned and glared at Yang Dong fiercely.
"I order you to finish your sentence at once!"
"yes!"
Yang Dong bowed his hands, and the smile on his face became more confident.
"Have you ever thought about it, your Majesty, that tampering with military rations without permission is a serious crime, beheading people and confiscating their homes. Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs are all human beings, how can they leave evidence of their crimes?"
"Therefore, I think that if Your Majesty wants to investigate, it is better to investigate the grain transportation officers first. Although the grain transportation officers have a low position and are inconspicuous, they are the people closest to the military rations."
"Xiao Dongzi, you are very good."
The empress's phoenix eyes flashed with extraordinary splendor. She suddenly raised her arm and pressed it heavily on Yang Dong's shoulder.
"I already know your talent."
"Don't worry, as long as you serve me well, you will have the power, wealth and beauty you want. But if you have a different intention, I don't mind letting you become a real eunuch!"
"Qingniao, please convey my decree immediately and promote Yang Dong to the position of general manager. All matters in the harem will be under Yang Dong's jurisdiction."
Qingniao lowered his head to accept the order and glanced sideways at Yang Dong with a rather strange look in his eyes.
The dignified chamberlain is actually a man. His majesty is really bold.
This Yang Dong is really too pampered!
Is it possible that His Majesty really has a crush on this guy?
