Chapter 553: Stay in the Palace
Originally, there was no need for a high eunuch like Eunuch Xie to do things like conveying messages to the emperor.
But the matter was of great importance, and he was afraid that the young eunuch could not explain clearly, so he simply went to Ganlun Mansion to deliver the oral message.
Gan Lun didn't go out on a cold day, and was shocked when he saw Eunuch Xie. After hearing Eunuch Xie's words, he didn't dare to hide it, and directly told Zhao Ruxi's arithmetic ability.
"Is it Miss Zhao Wu?" Eunuch Xie was surprised.
He still couldn't believe it, so he checked again, "Are you talking about the layman Zhiwei from the Suiping Mansion?"
"Exactly."
Eunuch Xie still didn't quite believe it.
He has been with the emperor for so many years and has met countless talents. He knows that those who are good at painting and writing poems are generally not good at math and are not sensitive to numbers.
There are really not many people like Zhao Ruxi who can draw well, write well, and do math well.
He did not dare to waste time and let Gan Lun enter the palace, while he himself went to Suiping's residence to announce the decree.
Zhao Ruxi was practicing calligraphy to earn points, so she was quite surprised to hear the summons.
The matter was of great importance, and she knew that this was an opportunity to expose the conspiracy of the Third Prince Group. Since the emperor had found her head, as an insider and with the ability, she was naturally obliged to do so. Furthermore, this kind of thing was beyond her control.
Not willing.
She immediately changed her clothes and followed Eunuch Xie into the palace.
Zhao Yuanxun went to the Yamen at this time. When the old lady and Mr. Zhu learned about this, they were very worried.
"Sister Xi's arithmetic ability is favored by the court. It's a good thing. Don't be afraid." The old lady patted the back of Zhu's hand and said.
Mrs. Zhu nodded, still worried.
When Zhao Ruxi followed Eunuch Xie into the palace, Gan Lun had already arrived in front of the emperor.
"What? Zhao Zhiwei? Did you remember correctly?" Xiao Ge was also surprised.
"Exactly."
Xiao Ge was in a daze for a moment, then nodded.
There are many strange people in the world, and there are even more amazing and beautiful people. Although it is unbelievable that people like Zhao Ruxi are so outstanding, they do exist. The Jin Dynasty is lucky to have such a person.
"It's a serious matter, so don't put pressure on her first. When she comes, you don't need to bring her to the imperial palace. Go to the side hall first and calculate the numbers." Xiao Ge ordered, "Mr. Gan, please work with Mr. Qi to calculate the things that need to be considered.
All aspects are listed for Zhao Zhiwei’s reference when making calculations.”
"Yes." Gan Lun and Qi Xugu bowed and went to the side hall.
The grain and grass originally raised by the capital had been loaded onto the truck, and the subsequent shortage of grain and grass was also handled by the governor of the capital. Qi Xugu did not need to keep an eye on it. However, this matter is extremely important at the moment, not only because the amount of grain and grass in the capital is wrong.
, and may also involve the amount of grain and grass in the major cities in the north, so Xiao Ge left Qi Xugu in the palace.
Gan Lun had stayed in the Ministry of Hubu all his life, and the Ministry of Hubu sent grain and grass to the border every year. He knew all the aspects to be considered when calculating. Qi Xugu, as the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, also climbed up from a junior official in the Ministry of Hubu, so he naturally knew
What to consider when calculating.
When Zhao Ruxi arrived, he saw the two of them meeting each other, writing and discussing.
"Zhiwei, hurry up, come and calculate these data." As soon as Gan Lun saw Zhao Ruxi entering the side hall, he pushed a stack of papers over.
Zhao Ruxi said hello to Qi Xugu and Gan Lun, sat down and devoted herself to calculations.
There were palace maids and young eunuchs waiting in the side hall. At this time, someone quickly came up to pour tea for Zhao Ruxi.
Eunuch Xie got the emperor's order. He didn't leave, but walked to the corner and sat down.
He will follow these three people throughout the whole journey, firstly to take care of their daily needs, and secondly to play a supervisory role.
At this time, Xiao Lingyan naturally sent people to keep an eye on Xiao Ge. As soon as Zhao Ruxi entered the palace, the news was reported to him.
After thinking about the situation in the capital and all aspects of the situation, Xiao Lingyan ordered, "Send ten more secret guards to protect the safety of Miss Zhiwei."
As soon as Zhao Ruxi took action, these data were naturally calculated. But she ruined the third prince's good deeds, and the third prince might want to attack her.
The numbers that Guo Jitong had calculated had to be taken into account due to the huge number and the complexity of the situation. Even if Zhao Ruxi had strong calculation skills, she and Gan Lun and others had to wait until Xu hour in the side hall before calculating the final number.
Calculate it and hand it over to Eunuch Xie.
Xiao Ge had already fallen asleep at this time. When he heard Eunuch Xie coming to report, he quickly got up and said in surprise, "So fast?"
It was already noon when he announced that Zhao Ruxi had entered the palace. It had only been half a day, so why didn't he be surprised?
You know, Guo Jitong, a veteran, also spent a day and a night figuring it out.
Eunuch Xie smiled and said, "This is because Mr. Qi and Mr. Gan made mistakes in their consideration, so they asked Miss Zhiwei to calculate it over and over again, otherwise it would have been faster."
Xiao Ge didn't say anything anymore. He paired the final data calculated by Zhao Ruxi with the data in the Ministry of War memorial and found that they were exactly the same.
This is not one data, but a set of twenty or thirty data. There is the total amount of grain, the amount of grain collected by the cities in the north, and the amount of grain transported to the major grain storage points after being transported to the border. Even if this memorial is given to all
Xu Gu took a look and Xiao Ge believed that he might not be able to remember these data clearly.
Furthermore, Eunuch Xie was still watching during the calculation process.
Now the two sets of data are the same, which is completely different from the amount of grain and grass calculated by Guo Jitong. Guo Jitong's grain and grass is missing by eight carts in the capital, and there is a certain amount missing in each prefecture in the north. The total amount adds up to a huge amount.
Xiao Ge slammed the table and said angrily, "Damn it."
He turned to the imperial guards and asked, "I asked you to find out who was behind Guo Jitong. Have you found out?"
"At present, it has been found that he has some connection with the prince." Yu Wei said, "It will take some time to investigate further."
Xiao Ge's heart felt cold as soon as he heard about the prince.
Originally, he had no expectations for this son, but at first glance, he still felt uncomfortable.
"Check, keep checking. I want to see what they are planning." He said solemnly.
"yes."
Xiao Ge raised his eyes and looked at Eunuch Xie, "Where are Miss Zhao and the others?"
"Keys have been dropped everywhere in the palace. The old servant arranged for Miss Zhiwei to go to Concubine Cen, and Mr. Qi and Mr. Gan to go to Yuncai Palace."
Xiao Ge nodded and praised, "This arrangement is very good."
Except for the second and fifth sons, all the other princes are involved in border affairs. If Zhao Zhiwei is placed elsewhere, he may be found dead at dawn. If he sends it to Concubine Cen, everything will be safe. First, there is no interest, and second
Concubine Cen had to take responsibility for her safety. Concubine Cen had been in charge of the palace for many years, so she had no problem protecting Zhao Zhiwei.
At this time, Zhao Ruxi suddenly met Xiao Lingyan's mother in Dajin, her future mother-in-law, and Zhao Ruxi was still a little confused.
