Hearing Zhao Dan say this, everyone present immediately turned their attention to Mao Sui.

Mao Sui coughed and said: "An Guojun, Wen Xinjun, according to the investigation of the Supervision Guard, although Zheng Qing also paid some missing taxes during this time, if the investigation is correct, Zheng Qing's current taxes are probably only about 30% of the taxes he should pay." ”

Although he was already mentally prepared, when Yu Xin heard this, he couldn't help but gasp: "This Zheng Qing is inevitably too bold, right?" ”

Li Si and Lu Buwei, who were sitting on the side, also showed surprised expressions on their faces, and then the two ministers of Zhao began to show thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Mao Sui smiled and retreated behind Zhao Dan.

In fact, Mao Sui still had more things to say, for example, the guards knew that this Zheng Qing had always been dissatisfied with the king because of Mrs. Zheng.

It is precisely because of this dissatisfaction that Zheng Zhu secretly colluded with a small number of his cronies in this massive crackdown on tax evasion to secretly resist this action.

In addition, the guards even heard Zheng Zhu's words during a meeting with his cronies: "I, Zheng Zhu, have served the country for decades, and I am a person who has worked hard and made great contributions." Yu Xin is just a piece of cloth, how can he be above me and get the position of Xiangbang? This is not that I am not in charge of the king, but that the king is in charge of me! ”

Obviously, Zheng Zhu's whole person is very resentful.

"Perhaps, this is self-inflicted sin and cannot live." Mao Sui thought secretly in his heart.

Yu Xin was silent, and the face of this Zhao State's Xiangbang changed, as if he was thinking about something.

As the head of the hundred officials, Yu Xin's starting point for thinking is actually different from Zhao Dan.

After a while, Yu Xin still couldn't help but say with some worry: "Great King, the original handling of so many people has already made many officials in the country uneasy, if even a Longtai important minister like Zheng Qing is also dealt with, will it make the matter too wide?" ”

Yu Xin himself was still worried about the impact of this incident on the entire official system of Zhao State.

After all, to be honest, Zhao's legalist system was actually not as strict as Qin's, which led to Zhao's bureaucratic style being relatively incorruptible as Qin's.

If it is really pursued so continuously, then I am afraid that few officials of Zhao State will have clean butts.

At that time, it is impossible to put more than half of the officials of Zhao State in prison for such a thing, right?

As Xiangbang, Yu Xin felt that it was necessary for him to remind his own king of the consequences of doing so.

Zhao Dan nodded and said with a smile: "An Guojun's worries, the widow naturally knows. But An Guojun don't worry, the widow is not a brutal and murderous person, this matter will end with Zheng Qing, can you? ”

As the head of the hundred officials, the status and dignity of Yu Xin's Xiangbang still need to be taken care of, and Zhao Dan cannot completely dismiss all of Yu Xin's opinions, because he doesn't want Yu Xin's Xiangbang to become an empty shelf completely.

When the power of the prime minister is completely hollowed out, the imperial power will indeed win, but the ensuing double work pressure is to kill people's things.

Historically, diligent emperors are often short-lived, which proves how much pressure the emperor's job is.

As soon as Yu Xin heard Zhao Dan's words, the whole person immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The king is wise!" ”

Since Zhao Dandu had promised that this matter would be stopped in moderation, Yu Xin naturally wouldn't say anything more.

After all, if a large number of positions can be vacated, in fact, Yu Xin, as a prime minister, will definitely be able to get a piece of the pie from these positions, and the share must not be small, which is also something that Yu Xin is happy to see.

Zhao Dan nodded and said, "Li Si, after you go back, you will fully cooperate with An Guojun and Ding Guojun to do this matter well, no problem, right?" ”

Li Si felt Zhao Dan's gaze, and the thoughts in his heart kept turning sharply.

Speaking of which, Li Si and Zheng Zhu can actually be regarded as an ally, both of them are connected by the Governor of Li Mu who is fighting abroad as a bridge, and they can be regarded as a strong force in the political arena of Zhao State.

It's just that because Li Mu has been fighting outside all along, their forces also have a feeling of being leaderless, and most of the time they belong to the kind where people don't offend me and I don't offend people, and they don't take the initiative to find trouble.

However, if you don't look for trouble, it doesn't mean that things won't look for you, and what makes Li Si a little helpless is that this time it is not other colleagues in Zhao Guo's political arena who take the initiative to find trouble, but Zhao Dan, the king!

Li Si suddenly remembered what Li Mu said to him when he parted before he led the army out of Handan a while ago.

"Li Qing, I don't know when I will be able to return. When I am not in Handan, you must remember to look at Zheng Qing a lot, after all, Zheng Qing is still on our side anyway, and we still have to protect him as a last resort. ”

In fact, Li Si has always done this, as the secretary of Zhao State, many interrogations were actually completed by Li Si's subordinates, so Li Si naturally also controlled some information that was not very favorable to Zheng Zhu, but they were all quietly suppressed by Li Si.

But judging from the current situation, it is obvious that whether Li Si is willing or not, Zheng Zhu's accident seems to be inevitable.

Li Si was silent for a moment, and then said: "Please rest assured that the minister will definitely complete the task according to the king's wishes." ”

Zhao Dan looked at Li Si's appearance and nodded with satisfaction.

To be honest, if you move a Zheng Zhu, in fact, Zhao Dan really doesn't need to be so fanfare.

What Zhao Dan was worried about was that after Zheng Zhu was brought down, Li Mu and Li Si, the two original allies of Zheng Zhu, would have any opinions.

But judging from the current situation and Li Si's tone, it is obvious that they have some psychological preparations for Zheng Zhu's matter.

That's good.

After all, Zhao Dan didn't want to see his ministers come to confront his monarch in order to protect his allies.

Zhao Dan cleared his throat and said: "Then the three Qing families should do it, let it go, don't be afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, the widow and the tens of millions of soldiers and civilians of Zhao State are the strongest backing for you!" ”

The next day, hundreds of Zhao officials were arrested and imprisoned, and their official residences in Handan were completely raided.

In seven days, more than 500 officials were arrested in various parts of the country.

After a lengthy interrogation, two months later, the criminals, including more than 400 officials and more than 3,000 accomplices, were beheaded for tax evasion.

Three months later, Zheng Zhu, an important minister of Zhao Guolongtai, announced his dismissal, was removed from all positions for tax evasion, and his title was reduced to a doctor, and he was grounded for life.

With this major case that shook the world, the fame of Yu Xin, Li Si, and Lü Buwei resounded in China for a while, and the Ministry of Commerce led by Lü Buwei began to enter the eyes of the world.
