Seeing that the imperial guards attacked quickly, blocked the palace ban, and closed the gate of the Wende Palace, the imperial guard battalion stood with guns after two shifts, and Ni Liang stood behind the little emperor, and the hall was full of murderous aura for a while. People were very puzzled why the little emperor would make a big deal for such a little 'trivial matter' and transfer troops into the palace, which made the ministers panic for a while.

"Your Majesty, why is that?" Ying Jieyan frowned and asked.

"Well, sir, just look at those songs!" Zhao Hao sighed lightly and handed the note on the bookcase to him.

"Oh, what's so strange about that?" Ying Jieyan knew that the little emperor was cautious and would not be untargeted, and it was only after watching the song that he wanted to judge them one by one, he also became vigilant and took over the song.

"Queen Mother, please forgive me for being reckless, but this matter must be made clear, so as not to be used by traitors and harm my Great Song!" After everything was arranged, Zhao Yu turned around and asked the Queen Mother for guilt.

"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Yang was also a little flustered at first, but quickly calmed down, she didn't believe that when she was about to hand over power, the little emperor would do something stupid to seize power by force, so she nodded and didn't ask more.

"Don't be alarmed, I don't have any malice in doing this, and I don't intimidate anyone, it's just to prevent someone from refusing to listen to me and sneaking out and not admitting it." Zhao Yu turned around and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't joke like this, it's really scary!" Liu Huang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, I'm not joking, after this account is settled, many people will definitely be scared away, who will I ask for an account when the time comes!" Zhao Yu said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, how can there be such a reckoning in the world?" Wen Tianxiang also couldn't help shaking his head.

"Eh, this account also has a share of the literature, you can't deny it!" Zhao Yu said with a straight face.

"Oh, when did the minister owe His Majesty's debt, this joke can't be made!" Wen Tianxiang thought about it, and was a little confused.

"Owe it or not, we'll know later." Zhao Yu still smiled, and then said to Lu Xiufu, "The separation of the outer court and the inner court was after the Xing dynasty moved to Qiong, Lu Xiang still remembers this matter!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's note." Lu Xiufu nodded.

"Then the land minister should also remember the agreement we reached on the imperial boat on the way from Yashan to Qiong!" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Minister's!" Lu Xiufu nodded again and said, "At that time, in order to solve the financial needs of the dynasty, His Majesty and his ministers agreed to change the practice of income from the inner treasury, and the salt tax will only be 10% within two years, and it will increase year by year, no more than 30%, and it will become a rule. However, in order to maintain the daily needs of the palace, fifty percent of the tax of the city department was paid into the inner treasury, and the miscellaneous classes and pit metallurgy were returned to the left treasury, and the rest remained the same. ”

"The rest should include the confiscated traitors and criminals' family property!" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Yes, it should be included." Lu Xiufu replied.

"Governors Wenxiang, Ying, and Liu, is this agreement fair to me?" Zhao Hao twisted his face and asked.

"According to the rules set by the Taizu, the income from the Ding tax, the income from the pit and the surplus of the city and the city are all attributed to the inner treasury, so it can be seen that His Majesty has indeed suffered a loss." Wen Tianxiang saluted.

"At that time, for the sake of state affairs, I also admitted it, and all the income of the Shuaifu was attributed to the Zuo Treasury, and not a penny was attributed to the Inner Treasury, right?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Yes, after the dynasty moved to Qiong, the minister was ordered to transfer all the taxes collected by the marshal's mansion to the imperial court." He should testify strictly.

At that time, there were only more than 200,000 pieces of gold and silver brought by the Queen Mother from the palace, as well as some treasures. But I have to bear all the expenses of the inner court, the salaries of the guards, and all the necessities, and I have never used the country, right? Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty has a clear distinction between public and private, and everyone in the DPRK and the Central Committee knows it." Lu Xiufu replied.

"The distinction between public and private is not right, for so many years, the imperial court has been paying the inner treasury according to the salt tax of one percent, it should be said that you have a clear distinction between public and private!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Is there such a thing? Why don't you remember. When Wen Tianxiang heard this, he immediately began to pretend to be stupid, and spread his hands.

"By the way, it must be Yao Liangchen's personal revenge and deduction of the needs of the inner court, if the minister knew earlier, why would it cause a big disaster." Lu Xiufu also hurriedly found a reason to put the blame on Yao Liangchen, who had been dismissed.

"Governor, the household department belongs to you, don't you know about it?" Liu Huang didn't wait for the little emperor to ask, so he preemptively shirked his responsibility.

"I have so many things, how can I remember these little things!" Wave your hand strictly.

"How? If I hadn't closed the palace gate and sent troops to guard it, wouldn't I have slipped away! Zhao Yu pointed to a few people and said with a smile, "Although Yao Liangchen has been dismissed and exiled, but the death of the person is not rotten, I will remember it for you?" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter has been settled for many years, and this year's salt tax will definitely be sent to the Inner Treasury in full." Lu Xiufu hurriedly said.

"Forget it! Even if the salt tax is 1 million guan, it has been five years, and at least 10 million guan is owed to me. In addition, this year, I have already made a pit for you, and I bought a bunch of broken ships for the price of 1 million salt taxes receivable, and I lost 2 million yuan. Zhao Yu said with an uncompromising expression.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that His Majesty is dedicated to state affairs, so he deliberately did not urge it, and His Majesty is the world, so why bother!" Lu Xiufu hurriedly put on a big hat and said.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu is right, all this money is used for state affairs, so why bother!" Empress Dowager Yang was secretly happy in her heart, the little emperor turned out to be collecting debts from the Manchu Dynasty, no wonder she wanted to close the door to prevent them from escaping, and said with a smile.

"Empress Dowager Xie forgiveness!" As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, the four of them saluted upwards in unison.

"Queen Mother, our mother and son have begun to sell things in the palace for the wedding, and they can't even drink porridge if they are forgiven!" Zhao Hao's face was full of black lines, and he jumped straight to the ground.

"Okay, okay, the mourning family won't interfere anymore!" Seeing that the little emperor was anxious, Empress Dowager Yang hurriedly waved her hand again and again.

"Since the Queen Mother has exempted the previous salt tax, then let's continue to calculate the next account, the tariff calculation of the City Shipping Division was wrong, and it has been a pit for many years." Zhao Yu said, "Since the tariff treasury and the left treasury are divided into fifty percent, but you have calculated all the expenses required by the city department to my head, and what you have taken away is the net profit, and I have reduced it by as much as twenty percent, and in seven years, I have also been pitted by three or four million yuan!" ”

"The minister really doesn't know, but since His Majesty said it, then even if the imperial court owes the inner treasury, according to the three million guan that His Majesty said, he will definitely try to raise funds to return it in time, what do you say?" Wen Tianxiang immediately responded happily, and kept giving Lu Xiufu a look.

"If you are wrong, you have to change it, and it should be so!" Lu Xiufu immediately understood and said.

"Wen Xiang, I treat you well, I always think that you are the most just, and you are fair, how can you cheat me?" Zhao Hao was a little crying and laughing.

"Your Majesty will sell your face to save face, and this little money is not a problem for Your Majesty!" Liu Huang also followed the round.

"A million times I said that I would wipe it, I just burned the cake and meat, and I couldn't eat it all in my life!" Zhao Yu said sadly.

"If Your Majesty wants to eat meat in the future, even if you go to the minister's mansion, you will let Your Majesty eat to your heart's content!" Lu Xiufu said.

"Good! Chen Dun gathered the guard camp, and went straight to the Xiangfu to eat meat. Ni Liang eats a lot, you go too! Zhao Yu immediately ordered.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your Majesty!" Chen Dun said with a grin.

"Okay, okay, the minister immediately ordered!" Lu Xiufu said with a bitter face, but he couldn't wait to slap himself twice, how could he forget that the little emperor is revenge in the world, and he never spends the night when he has a grudge, if he takes people to the prime minister's mansion to eat meat every day, he has to eat himself down!

"Lu Xiang, you have to take good care, you will live a long life!" Zhao Yu changed his expression again.

"Your Majesty cares!" Lu Xiufu didn't know what he meant, and thought that the little emperor had changed his sex, so he thanked him.

"No, no, it should be Xiang Xie Lu." Zhao Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lu Xiangyue's salary is 600 guan, and the sum of various incomes in a year is only 10,000 guan. ”

"Boom!" Listening to what the little emperor said, the ministers in the palace burst into laughter, and the atmosphere of slaughter just now was swept away.

"How could this child be so naughty!" Empress Dowager Yang's tears of laughter came out, and she turned her face to Dou Xing.

"The official family is a man of temperament, and this idea is only thought up by the official...... Hehe! Dou Xing couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"Your Majesty Chrysostom, the minister must live past a hundred years old!" Lu Xiufu also couldn't cry or laugh, and bowed down to salute.

"The rest of the accounts, wait for the head of the village to take the account book and then calculate, and the province will be pitted again!" Zhao Yu helped Lu Xiufu up and said.

After a while, Zhuang Shilin hurried over with the account book of the inner treasury and started another round of reconciliation. This is not to say that I don't know, as soon as I say it, the whole hall is shocked, and the account is only counted from the recovery of Jiangnan last year. The property seized and confiscated by the various ministries alone was no less than 30,000,000 guan, even according to the earlier rule of 40 percent into the inner treasury, and all these expenses that His Majesty used for the execution of the court were not collected.

Another major part is military spending, after the expansion of the army, more than 200,000 muskets alone have been distributed, and according to the calculation of 12 guns, it will cost 2.4 million yuan; In addition, there are nearly 1,000 artillery pieces of various types, and the average cost of each gun is 100 yuan, and it is another million yuan; In addition, there are all kinds of guns, shells, and gunpowder, which are not small in number. In addition, Zhao Yu paid 500,000 yuan in advance for the formation of the inland water army, and then built hundreds of large and small warships, which is another whole number. There is also a lot of money for building the North Palace, repairing the Lin'an city defense, etc.

After the accounts are verified, Lu Xiufu and several people are about to cry, the imperial court owes more than 30 million yuan in the inner treasury in two years, and if it is returned this year, the imperial court will be closed, and everyone's salaries and bonuses will not be considered. No one thought that the little emperor would pay so much for the imperial court, so it is no wonder that he had to sell his inventory for the wedding.

"Chen Shangshu, how much is the tariff revenue this year?" Looking at the appearance of everyone, Zhao Yu asked Chen Zeweng.

"Your Majesty, there are already 7 million guan in the warehouse this year, and if all the customs duties in winter are put into the warehouse, it should be about 20 million guan in the whole year." Chen Zeweng thought about it and replied.

"I said how can you be so generous, first allocate two million from the customs duties for my wedding, and then you can swallow up the balance, and then use this to stop my mouth, and you are a good person!" Zhao Yu pointed to a few people.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have no such intentions!" Several of them shook their heads.

"Whether it's there or not, I'm going to keep an eye on it." Zhao Yu said, "Chen Shangshu, this time you must calculate it, these two million guan must be recorded in the name of Zuo Zangku. If something goes wrong, I'll let my niece drink porridge every day. ”

"Yes, I obey!" Chen Zeweng smiled bitterly and said. This is really a companion to the king, and his nieces have become hostages of the little emperor.

"Your Majesty, the accounts have been verified, and the amount owed is huge, and if it is returned to the state at one time, it will be limited to a standstill, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me some time." Lu Xiufu said a little helplessly, and hated Ding Qi even more in his heart, if it weren't for his indiscriminate impeachment, where could he provoke the little emperor so angry and force everyone to settle the accounts.

"I am not an unreasonable person, you should formulate a charter and gradually return it as appropriate, and after all, it is still a matter of state. But whether I have invaded the kingdom or not, and how will you deal with it? Zhao Yu sighed when he heard this.

"This matter is purely imaginary, and the ministers will correct His Majesty's name in the palace. and will impeach and punish those who slander His Majesty. Lu Xiufu breathed a sigh of relief, the impeachment has proved the innocence and innocence of the little emperor in front of everyone, and he will still do it.

"It's not that simple, there's a conspiracy in it!" Zhao Yu shook his head and turned to the two of them, "Ding Qi and Li Kuan, who instructed the two of you to stir up trouble?" ”

"Your Majesty, the humble position is just credulous and has no one to instruct?" Ding Qi hurriedly saluted.

"Really? Who instructed you to investigate the renovation of the East Palace! Zhao Yu smiled and asked Li Kuandao again.

"Your Majesty, the audit is only a lowly responsibility, not someone instructing it!" Li Kuan said.

"I've already given you a chance, but if you don't recognize it, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zhao Yu sneered and said, "Chen Dun, arrest all the people who signed the song and interrogate them strictly!" ”

"Your Majesty, the royal history has heard of it, and there is no guilt in being wrong, no!" Wen Tianxiang listened and hurriedly admonished.

"If it's just rumors, it's fine, but they are disrupting the dynasty and causing trouble to the country, how can they be spared!" Zhao Hao said sharply.

"Humble duty is wronged, Your Majesty is the widow of the court, and humiliation is not guilty!" Ding Qi shouted loudly.

"Wronged? You two are really hard-mouthed, look at what you wrote, do you really think you are immortals? The conflict that only broke out this morning, and the dynasty has not yet dispersed, did you write the note in the hall and find someone to sign it in the main hall? Zhao Yu shouted.

"Your Majesty is right. I've just seen that some of the co-signatories have not been to court, and they have never left the main hall. Therefore, it is clear that you have already prepared, and once there is a conflict outside the east gate, you will go to your majesty to invade and occupy the country. It's a pity that these little tricks can't escape His Majesty's eyes! Ying Jieyan pointed to the two people......
