But in the final analysis, even if it shrinks, the household department reports that it is already beyond its means, and if it is larger than the actual expenditure, then ...... I can't imagine it.

Because of this question, Xu Chengtai secretly checked the income and inventory of the household department in previous years. It was found that if the number of expenditures increased by a few points according to the conjecture, the household department would deduct it according to the previous income and inventory, and now the silver deposit in the warehouse would basically bottom out, but as far as he knew, although the silver deposit in the current treasury of the household department is not large, there is still a lot of it.

In this way, there can only be one conclusion, and the household must secretly have another income, and this income is quite a lot.

But where does this income come from, is it possible that in addition to the industries operated by the Household Department, there are also a lot of dark industries?

But where did the household department get these dark properties? and where did they find the people to manage them?

Li Chaochen informed Qin Siyang of these unintentional inquiries and questions he heard from his classmates. Qin Siyang was shocked, and asked the Han Mansion to investigate, but he didn't find out that the household department secretly had another industry, but he unexpectedly found out that Tan Jilun, the left servant of the household department, had been secretly dealing with Long Xingwei for several years.

And whether the large amount of income in the secret of the household department is related to Long Xingwei cannot be found, so Han Fu still replied to the name: I don't know.

Qin Siyang had already secretly connected with Yin Xuezheng when he received Han Fu's reply. Therefore, when Yin Xuezheng used another excuse to enter the palace, he asked him secretly, and Yin Xuezheng did not ask about the source of the strange master, nor did he hide it, and bluntly said that he gave him several large incomes in the past few years.

And the origin of these large sums of silver is very simple, it is the origin of those big families who he confiscated on the orders of the first emperor in those years.

You must know that there is no family that does not operate a secret property, these several courts have no bottom, and the government has not prepared a case, so it is confiscated, although the first emperor also guarded against Long Xingwei, and secretly sent someone to keep an eye on them. But Yin Xuezheng is not a person who enjoys it because of his childhood experience, and after every inspection, Long Xingwei's private accounts have more silver, and they are all within the bottom line that the first emperor can accept, so he himself does not leave any more points. The dark people sent by the first emperor could not find out that Long Xingwei had any other actions, and the first emperor recognized the number of raids in Long Xingwei's newspaper when he saw this. In addition to pulling out a small amount of these numbers to the household department and using them as treasury silver, the rest went directly into the royal private accounts, and they were all enjoyed by themselves.

The first emperor didn't know that he was killed, and most of the numbers reported by Yin Xuezheng were truthful in kind every time he checked them, but they were reduced by half in cash and industry without exception. Most of the cash and property that he withheld were quickly transferred to the household department, except for a small number of hidden assets that were converted into Long Xingwei or recruited dark dragon guards.

In this way, the household department really has a secret property that is not known to outsiders.

In addition to his and Long Xingwei's two cronies, Zhong Xuanchong, Tan Jilun and their cronies are also clear about this matter. Even the Han Mansion, which has always had great magical powers, didn't find out.

After Qin Siyang learned of this fact, he looked at Yin Xuezheng's eyes and explored more deeply.

It seems that Long Xingwei played a very unusual role in the troubled waters of the court.

And today I received information and knew a lot of things.

The household income account book was secretly recorded to the queen mother, so obviously, someone else knew that there was a problem with the household income account book.

Who is that, and who is the power? Why did you secretly transfer this matter to the Queen Mother?

Is it the people of the two Tian Fangs, the people of the princes, or is there someone else he doesn't know who is stirring up the troubled waters?

In this world, in this court, how much else does he not know in this game?

After a sleepless night, until the sky was faint, Qin Siyang reluctantly closed his eyes.

When he was half asleep, he suddenly felt that someone lifted the veil and leaned towards him. Qin Siyang woke up, and was about to raise his hand to fight, when he suddenly heard someone whispering in his ear: "Holy Lord, someone has come in." ”

Qin Siyang changed to hugging at this time.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw someone turn the screen, approached in a few steps, and said through the vermilion gauze account: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to Cining Palace, and the Mother has something to say." ”

This is here.

Qin Siyang's sleepiness disappeared for a while.

After the messenger withdrew, Qin Siyang asked, "What time is it?"

"Back to the saint, it has passed. Xin'er on the side replied.

"It's time to get up. Qin Siyang sighed.

"Let's lie down again, the servant will go and let people prepare warm water first. Xin'er got up and got out of bed as she spoke, first went to put away the futon that he had slept on all night, which was hidden under the bed in a hurry, and then put on his clothes, and then turned the picture screen and walked out of the inner room.

Because outsiders seem to be ashamed of the relationship between seeing people, the two of them have always been unserved when they get up in the morning, so whether they fall asleep or get up, they can have a lot of space and time to deal with things that are inconvenient to see people.

Originally, when he first ascended to the throne, Qin Siyang was pretended to be dragged to the early dynasty by the queen mother, but two months later, because of his chaos, the early dynasty was directly abolished. is the queen mother, and she will go to the curtain every day or two to listen to the government. As for the daily recitals, they will only be transferred to Cining Palace, and those who can come to Qianqing Palace are all inconsequential recitals.

Therefore, in the past six months, Qin Siyang has never gotten up early. Every day, he slept until he woke up naturally, except for going to the Queen Mother every few days to receive lectures, or being blocked by some upright ministers and crying, and then being pulled through the Heart Cultivation Hall to listen to the class, on the surface, he just lived a life of drunkenness and dreaming.

After squinting and sleeping for another quarter of an hour, Xin'er came to wake up Qin Siyang, briefly freshened up, and ate breakfast again. Seeing that the time had passed three o'clock in the first month, Qin Siyang changed his clothes, got on the eight people to carry the imperial chariot, and led a group of palace people to Cining Palace.

It is autumn, there is no sunlight in the morning, the west wind is strong, and when you turn the imperial garden, you can see the withered flowers and trees, which shows the coldness of the sun.

The two palace maids in Tsing Yi had just walked at the long and gloomy Yongdao crossing, and suddenly saw the emperor's holy chariot, and hurriedly retreated to the corner of the road, with their hands on the ground, their heads and faces knocked on the blue bricks and stone slabs, and they didn't dare to take a breath. It wasn't until the holy car was far away, and there was no sound on the road of Sen Ran, that the two palace maids sighed softly, twisted their bodies, and helped each other to get up from the stone slabs.

Qin Siyang lazily lay on the imperial chariot, saw the vast Yongkang Square from afar, raised his eyebrows, and then walked forward, the glazed tile roof of the main hall of Cining Palace was presented in front of him, his eyebrows twisted, showing a little impatience.

The royal chariot was carried into the front yard of Cining Palace from the main gate, and stopped in front of the main hall.

Qin Siyang got off the sedan chair and entered from the main hall first.

The Queen Mother was waiting in the main hall of the apse, and before Qin Siyang arrived, the noble concubine Wang Bingyu, who stayed in Cining Palace last night, had already sat with the Queen Mother on the side. After a night of appeasement by the Queen Mother and Mama, as well as the best plasters in Cining Palace, her mood has stabilized, her lower body is not so painful, and her pale face has recovered a lot.

The Queen Mother knew that her niece's lower body was still in pain, and she didn't want her to get up early, but staying at the Queen Mother's place, Wang Bingyu didn't dare to sleep no matter how painful it was, and the Queen Mother just got up not long ago, and she insisted on getting up from the bed.

Accompanied the queen mother to breakfast, and then sat aside and chatted about some family things, the originally slightly pale face still had a shallow smile, and when she heard that the palace maid was coming back and forth The emperor arrived, Wang Bingyu's expression froze instantly.

When the Queen Mother saw her niece's stiff expression, her face darkened.

Last night, this pampered niece and daughter, who was held in the palm of their Wang family, was carried directly from the Qianqing Palace to her Cining Palace by the eunuch after taking on Pang for the first time. When she was close, she could clearly smell the pungent smell of the bodily fluids flowing from the intercourse.

Hearing my niece's cry, I was made to faint, and then as soon as I woke up, I was sent here directly, without being comforted and my body was not cleaned. The queen mother was directly furious, if it weren't for the eunuchs and grandmothers around her to persuade and stop her, she would have called the emperor to Cining Palace on the spot to give an explanation.

As soon as she woke up this morning, she ordered someone to send a message to the emperor: Chen Zheng is coming to Cining Palace.

At this moment, the emperor came up very punctually.

The queen mother waved her hand to call her grandmother, pulled her niece who was still in a stiff position down, and took a deep breath before saying to the palace maid who passed the message: "Call the emperor in." ”

The palace maid was ordered to retreat, and after a while, she saw the emperor pacing in first.

Greeting him as usual, Qin Siyang waited for a while, but he didn't see the Queen Mother's reply, so he had to stand up straight and raise his eyes, but when he saw the Queen Mother's gaze at him, he was so cold that he seemed to freeze people to death directly.

"The Queen Mother?"

Qin Siyang lowered his voice and called, his tone was very puzzled, of course he was pretending.

He knew why the Queen Mother called him here early in the morning, and he knew why the Queen Mother was looking at him like a dead man at the moment. But he just wants to pretend, even if the people watching the play know that he is pretending to be acting, he has to work hard to act.

"Does the emperor know why the mourning family called you early this morning?"

The play has started, and the lines can only come one sentence at a time.

"The child doesn't know, please make it clear to the Queen Mother. ”

"You ......" The Queen Mother's temper has always been violent, even if she has lived in the deep palace for many years, she can't change her temperament of getting angry in a hurry. After taking a deep breath and letting herself be smooth, the Queen Mother continued, "What did you do to Bing'er yesterday?"

"Bing'er?" Qin Siyang was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to wake up after a while, "It's a concubine." The queen mother let the child spoil her, isn't that what happened, the child did it to her. ”

"You, you, tell me how you did it?"

Qin Siyang was stunned again: "What else can I do?"

The Queen Mother held her forehead with one hand and grabbed the armrest of the chair with the other, and because of the excessive force, the tips of her long nails made several long deep marks on the armrests of the chair.

"The mourning family asks you, did you do the same with your shameless servants?" said the Queen Mother with a blue face and angry anger.

Qin Siyang seemed to be so frightened by this anger that he shrank back, lowered his head and thought about it, before he replied slowly: "Ling'er's body is much stronger than that of the concubine, they never cry out in pain, let alone cry non-stop, which is annoying. ”

"Bastard. The queen mother was furious, snapped, and the hand holding her forehead slapped heavily on the table, startling Qin Siyang to take another half step back.

"Queen Mother?" Qin Siyang settled down and exclaimed with a puzzled face, the play was so realistic, even he couldn't help but believe it for half a minute, he was really frightened.

"How can a girl's body be compared with a man's, you, you are the king of a country, under the body of the country, you can say such insignificant words, you, are you still worthy of being the king of this country?"

The queen mother was angry, and finally said what she wanted to say most in her heart, so shocked that the eunuchs and palace maids on the side knelt sideways, and Gao Yueming, led by Gao Yueming, stepped forward, leaned on the side of the queen mother, and pressed the arm of the chair that the queen mother was holding tightly with one hand.
