Chapter 201

At this moment, Li Lizhen's face was iron-blue, and Wei Hao saw it and felt that something was wrong.

"What's the matter, girl!" Wei Hao looked at Li Li and asked.

"Most of this year's internal money is in my charge, and now something like this has happened, me!" Li Lizhen is very uncomfortable at the moment.

"What are you afraid of? You didn't take the money, besides, isn't it normal for something to go wrong with such a large amount of internal income? It even said that it didn't start here, it started a few years ago, otherwise, they wouldn't be so bold, I estimate that the money that went wrong this year could be thousands of dollars! Wei Hao said with relief to Li Liqing.

"That being said, I was originally finished this year, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to the crown princess, and the princess will now participate in the assistance and management of the royal treasury, of course, it is still the queen mother who is in charge, and now that something like this happens, what will the crown princess think of me?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao anxiously and said.

"What are you afraid of? It's really, how do you look at love, you still have this little money, don't worry about this, this matter, the queen mother will never blame you, if you don't believe it, when you finish this, you take last year's accounts, I will calculate it, there must be a lot of problems! Wei Hao confronted Li Li and persuaded him.

"Well, let's do the math first, I also want to know, how many people are greedy for how much money they have!" Li Lizhi said angrily,

Wei Hao nodded, and the two of them continued to count,

In three days, the accounts came out, and there were more than 7,000 yuan that was problematic, and it was not even reconciled to the accounts. Li Lizhi took the account book and sat there sulking.

"Okay, girl, if the queen mother blames you, you will pay for it, there is nothing to say, it will be deducted from our family's profits, it's okay!" Wei Hao said to Li Liqing.

"Hmph, if you want me to accompany you, then I want the lives of those people, I am really bold, dare to corrupt the royal money, how many heads do they have?" Li Lizhi gritted her teeth at the moment and said, this slapped her in the face raw,

She had always thought that she was very good at managing the internal management, and she was also very attentive, thinking that she could get the affirmation of the queen mother, although she was in charge of it, but she was also attentive, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Go, give the ledger to the queen mother!" Wei Hao persuaded Li Lizhi and said.

"Well, I'll go first, and maybe I'll have to make you last year's account!" Li Lizhen stood up and said to Wei Hao.

"It's okay, don't worry!" Wei Hao nodded, Li Lizhen took a group of eunuchs and palace maids and went out with those account books, while Li Lizhen held the calculated middle account book in his hand, and dared to go to the inner palace, and when he arrived at the Lizheng Palace, Li Lizhen handed over the account book to the queen.

"What's wrong?" Empress Eldest Sun also found out that Li Liqing's face was wrong.

"Someone embezzled our royal money, there are more than 7,000 yuan, and the accounts are reconciled!" Li Lizhi looked at Empress Eldest Sun and said.

"What?" Empress Eldest Sun said in surprise.

"The queen mother forgives sins, it is because women are not strictly managed, so that such a thing will happen!" Li Lizhi knelt in front of Empress Changsun as she spoke.

"What nonsense, get up, really, this kid!" When Empress Changsun saw that Li Lizhen was kneeling, she was also panicked, and immediately grabbed Li Lizhi up.

"Queen Mother, how can they be like this, their daughter manages it so carefully, how dare they do this?" Li Lizhi cried, thousands of dollars.

"Silly girl, sit down, don't cry, you're still too young, isn't that a normal thing? With so much money, and it comes in and out every day, you say, who doesn't care? It's normal for someone to move, but if you move so much, you don't want to live! Empress Eldest Sun was distressed and wiped away Li Lizhi's tears.

"Queen Mother!" Li Lizhi is still very sad.

"The queen mother found out that there was a problem several years ago, but she couldn't find it out, and it was right to let them settle the accounts, but I didn't expect that there was really such a thing, the queen mother would take a look first!" Empress Changsun smiled, looked at the calculated account book, looked at it, and felt the same.

"The following book, the accounts in question, have been copied! Including the handler, the merchant who purchased the news, etc., the news is registered! Li Lizhen said to the eldest grandson.

"Hmm!" Empress Eldest Sun took the ledger below and looked at it.

"Come on, go and call the crown princess Su Mei to come over!" Empress Eldest Sun said to a palace maid beside her.

"Yes!" The maid went out immediately.

"It's so daring, even His Majesty's money to purchase leather dares to mess around, and those who purchase candles also dare to do it, it's really good! Bengong also said that over the past year, why have candles been used so much, and the problem of daring is here! Empress Eldest Sun sat there, flipping through the ledger and said.

"It's useless for my daughter!" Li Lizhi lowered her head and said.

"Who said that? The daughter of this palace is useless? How did you get all that money now? It flew over to the palace on its own? This matter has nothing to do with you, don't think about it, you are doing very well, your father and emperor praise you, without you, my father and mother don't know what to worry about this year! Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Li and persuaded her.

"Hmm!" Li Lizhi nodded,

After a while, the crown princess Su Mei came over and saluted the eldest grandson.

"Take it, take a look, this is this year's account book, but I'll hand it over to you, Lizhi assisted the palace in managing the royal treasury this year, and did a good job, in the future, you also have to assist the palace in management, however, the paper workshop and the porcelain workshop are all managed by Liqin in the future, you don't interfere, you mainly manage the royal procurement,

Of course, now the palace is with you to manage, after all, in the future, you will also need to manage the entire royal treasury alone, so you still need to learn! "Empress Eldest Sun handed over the account book to the crown princess Su Mei,

Su Mei immediately saluted to the eldest grandson queen and said, she was very happy in her heart, and began to master the royal treasury, then she would really become the crown princess.

"Below, there are accounts that may be greedy for ink! This has nothing to do with beauty, this greedy ink, it may have happened for several years, calling you over is also for you to learn how to deal with such a thing.

"Ah, yes!" Su Mei said in surprise.

"Someone, call the captain on duty to come in! Bring a squad of troops! Empress Eldest Sun immediately spoke.

"Yes!" A eunuch outside opened his mouth and said, After a while, Xiao Rui, the captain on duty, was the husband of Li Shimin's first daughter, Princess Xiangcheng, and Li Shimin's concubine!

"I've seen the Queen Mother!" Xiao Rui came in, knelt down on one knee and saluted the eldest grandson queen.

"Take this, arrest people according to the list, no matter if he is from the palace, if he dares to stop it, bring it together!" Empress Eldest Sun took the account book from Su Mei's hand, handed it to the front, and a eunuch took it and immediately gave it to Xiao Rui.

"Yes!" After Xiao Rui got the account book, he immediately shouted, and then turned around and went out to the Lizheng Palace,

After a while, the palace was lively, and people from various palaces were brought out.

"What's going on?" Wei Guifei was also very shocked, a eunuch beside him was also taken away, although she was not the kind of confidant eunuch, but she was still a little unhappy about arresting her own person like this, but she didn't dare to be angry at all, Xiao Rui said very clearly just now, the queen mother wants to arrest people, suspected of corruption.

"Corruption?" Wei Guifei was also feeling a sigh in his heart at the moment, he knew that his eunuch was still assisting in the purchase of some things!

"Mother, help, help!" The eunuch who was taken away shouted loudly, and Wei Guifei was standing there, watching this scene coldly.

"Niangniang, do you want to go to the Lizheng Palace, how can Niangniang arrest people like this?" A palace maid next to her spoke.

"Looking for death, go now?" Wei Guifei glanced at the palace maid sideways, and walked towards the palace, still a little apprehensive in her heart, I don't know if she will connect with herself.

"Let's ask, have anyone in the other palaces been arrested?" Wei Guifei said to the palace maid beside her.

"Yes!" The palace maid immediately went out and arranged for someone to inquire,

And the same is true for Concubine Yang, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian, all of whom have been arrested.

Even on the side of the Ganlu Palace, there were people who were arrested, and the movement was very loud, which made Li Shimin alarmed.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin sat there and asked Wang De.

"The queen mother arrested people, those people are suspected of embezzling the royal treasury, I heard that a lot of them have been arrested, it is estimated that there are forty or fifty people!" Wang De stood there and reported to Li Shimin.

"Oh, corruption, what a guts!" Li Shimin heard it, nodded, and didn't ask.

Then those people were sent to the eldest grandson queen, the eldest grandson queen inquired again, and asked people to search their money, a large amount of money and even the lost objects in the palace were found, some eunuchs actually had houses outside, and even married wives, and some were given to the brothers in the family, all this money must be recovered,

In the afternoon of the same day, seven eunuchs were killed with rods!

Li Lizhen and Su Mei were frightened, especially Su Mei, who never thought that Empress Eldest Sun would have such a ruthless side.

"Queen Mother, spare your life, spare your life!" A eunuch knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and did not listen to his pleas.

"Lu Yu, how long have you been with this palace?" Empress Changsun sat there, looked at the eunuch lightly and said.

"Queen Mother, it's the tenth year of this year, Queen Mother, spare your life!" The eunuch who called Lu Yu kowtowed without listening, and all the tears and snot came down, and those people were killed in front of them just now.

"It's been ten years, when this palace was still the princess of Qin, you followed this palace, did this palace treat you thinly? You have been promoted to deputy director of internal affairs, Wei Hao still has to be corrupt money, and the money that you are also given is five times the money, which is enough for your expenses.

Also, those little eunuchs, the palace maids give you gifts, you don't know when the palace, when the palace is following the palace, the palace has done a lot of things for the palace, many things, turn a blind eye, what about you? has to inch in, so that the face of the palace is lost, and he dares to put his hand on the inner hand, so bold! When Empress Changsun said these words, she was still very calm, and Su Mei and Li Lizhen were both sitting there watching Empress Changsun.

"Niangniang, spare your life, spare your life!" Lu Yu knelt there and kept kowtowing.

"Say, how much money have you made over the years?" Empress Eldest Sun continued to ask.

"Back to Niangniang, almost 10,000 yuan Niangniang, the little one will say anything, spare your life!" Lu Yu knelt there and cried bitterly.

"Two roads, one, you cane to death, leave the money for those brothers outside your palace to enjoy, this palace will not go to copy the homes of your brothers, and the other way, spit out all the money, don't say that this palace does not miss the old love!" Empress Eldest Sun sighed, and then said to Lu Yu.

"Thank you, thank you, I'll pick the second one! I'll pick the second one! Lu Yu immediately kowtowed and said.

"Go ahead!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Xiao Rui, who was standing not far away.

"Yes, Queen!" Xiao Rui immediately gave up.

Those eunuchs were interrogated one by one, and none of them would shout wronged, knowing that it was useless to shout wronged, what they did by themselves was clear in their hearts, besides, if they didn't have the confidence to shout wronged, they could only die faster.

The eunuchs poured out all of them one by one, and those who were more corrupt were killed with a rod, and those who were less corrupt were copied from the homes of their relatives outside the palace, and they were expelled from the palace with twenty rods, and they were able to save a life.

And the family members of those eunuchs who killed the cane also need to raid the house, and the matter was dealt with until it was almost dark, and those eunuchs were all dealt with, and then Empress Changsun invited Su Mei and Li Lizhen to dinner, Li Lizhen was not afraid, she had seen such a scene, and he had seen even worse scenes than this, but Su Mei was the first time she saw it, and now she can't eat a little bit.

"Eat something, you are the crown princess, in the future, you have to take care of the affairs in the palace, if you are the queen in the future, if you don't handle it well, those subordinates will be able to climb on your head, and other concubines will also be unconvinced by you, as the master of the harem, there is no murderous spirit, no means, how to help Your Majesty deal with those things in the harem, the affairs of the harem, it is not good to bother Your Majesty!" Empress Eldest Sun said to the Su clan.

"Yes, Queen Mother!" The crown princess immediately nodded and said.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" At this time, a eunuch outside shouted loudly, and the eldest grandson and queen all stood up.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" As soon as Li Shimin entered the door, they saluted and said.

"Well, it just so happens that I haven't eaten it yet!" Li Shimin said with a smile, and immediately a palace maid brought dishes and chopsticks to Li Shimin and put them on for Li Shimin.

"Well, how much money was corrupted?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the concubines did not manage the harem well!" Empress Eldest Sun immediately stood up and spoke.

"Oh, sit down, isn't that normal? In the court, I don't know how many officials are corrupt, this is not mismanagement, if you have money, some people are tempted! Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Yes, this year's calculation is 7,000 yuan of corruption, this is just the number on the books, the actual number is far more than that, some of them may collude with outside merchants to falsely report high prices, this concubine has not yet been checked, if checked, it is estimated that many people will lose their heads!

When I interrogated those eunuchs today, I actually interrogated more than 70,000 yuan of money, including their corrupt money, and some of the money they colluded with outside businessmen! Empress Eldest Sun reported to Li Shimin.

"Well, okay, just deal with it, but how can the internal money be settled so quickly this year?" Li Shimin asked curiously, now the accounts on the court's side have not been settled, and he is also urging, hoping to see the expenses of various departments this year.

"This is thanks to Hao'er, those bookkeepers on our side, what can only be calculated in a month, he finished it in three days, and the palace also found someone to calculate, basically there is no problem, the difference is a few pieces of money, it is estimated that there was an error in the calculation, and I don't know who miscalculated!" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"Wei Hao, in three days, have you finished calculating the accounts of the internal money?" Li Shimin looked at Empress Eldest Sun in surprise and asked.

"Well, look at it, how detailed, even all the major expenses of the internal funds are listed separately, and the concubines are also clear about the internal expenses, this kid is amazing,

Oh, by the way, the accounts of the paper workshop and the porcelain workshop have been calculated, but we need to give Wei Hao more than 57,000 yuan, and this money still needs Your Majesty's approval, after all, the amount is too big! Empress Changsun gave the account book to Li Shimin, and then spoke.

"Give, you call the shots, this was originally meant to be given to him, we have already taken a lot of people, if there is no such child this year, we don't know how sad our days are! Those two workshops gave us hundreds of thousands of dollars! Li Shimin nodded, and then opened the account book and looked at it, it was really very good, all the income and expenditure were listed separately, and the major expenses were also listed separately.

"Okay, well done, it's really good, well, this kid, I don't know if I can go to other departments to settle accounts?" Li Shimin was very moved and immediately asked.

"This concubine doesn't know, besides, it's Your Majesty's business, the concubine's side is finished, it's okay, I can really have a good year this year, but there is still a lot of money here!" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile,

And Su Mei on the side was very shocked, Wei Hao wanted to divide more than 50,000 yuan this time, so much? She is now managing the accounts of the East Palace, and the treasury on the side of the East Palace is about 1,000 yuan.

Li Shimin heard the words of Empress Eldest Sun and looked at Li Liqing.

"Father, I won't talk about this, he has been helping me for several days! I just said that I have to play mahjong for a few days! Li Lizhi immediately looked at Li Shimin and said.

"This stinky boy, how do you know that you can't do some work if you play mahjong?" Li Shimin said very depressedly.

"Father, go and say it, I won't say it, or he should bother me!" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.

"You go and say, girl, dad can count on you, this rabbit cub is still holding grudges, holding the old man to press his father, you go, good!" Li Shimin immediately smiled and said to Li Liqing.

"Father~" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin very embarrassed.

"That's it, girl, help my father share more!" Li Shimin immediately settled this matter, Li Lizhi just pouted and looked at his father, it was too pitiful!
