Ye Hua had already been prepared, with his position, he wanted to have the final say in the marriage, it was a dream at all. escaped Guo Wei's marriage, and he couldn't avoid Chai Rong, so he simply accepted his fate.

If you are lucky, you will live, if you are unlucky, if you are too bad, you will think of some other way, can you still interfere with him taking a concubine anyway?

"Your Majesty has an arrangement, and the minister can only obey the order."

Chai Rong wanted to name the candidate, but seeing Ye Hua's hesitant look, he swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue, Ye Hua was arrogant, if he refused, this family affair would be completely ruined, and Xiao Nizi was too young, it was better to wait and mature.

On the ancestor's side, it should be passed through the wind first, otherwise the old lady chose her granddaughter-in-law in advance, but it would be difficult to do.

Don't look at Chai Rong drunk, but his mind is very alert, no worse than when he was sober.

"Ye Qing, I won't talk about it for the time being, you are also prepared, and after a while, I will give you the title of king, give you marriage, and have a double happiness!"

"Wait!"

Ye Hua jumped up in fright, "Your Majesty, what is the king?" Why didn't the minister know at all? ”

"Hehe, this is proposed by Xue Xianggong in a letter, he said that Ye Qing recovered Youzhou and quelled the rebellion, and the merit is in Sheji, with Ye Qing's merit, he should be promoted to the throne, I agreed!"

"I don't say yes!"

Ye Hua forgot the etiquette in a hurry, "Your Majesty, the ministers will not agree to anything, throughout the ages, there are many kings, but there are very few champions." The minister cherishes this title very much, and he is absolutely unwilling to change it! ”

Chai Rong frowned, "Ye Qing, a marquis is too small to reward you for your merits. ”

"The champion Hou is different, the minister thinks it's enough!"

Ye Huaxin said that he was joking, even after two thousand years, mentioning Wei Qinghuo's illness still makes people's blood boil and their hearts are ...... In all dynasties, not to mention the princes, even the emperors, they may not be as famous as these two.

To be able to get the title of Champion Hou, he is already satisfied, to put it mildly, even if he uses the dragon chair to exchange with him, he may not agree, let alone an ordinary prince.

Chai Rong pondered for a long time, "Well, since Ye Qing doesn't agree, forget it." Don't worry, Madame, I will work hard to ensure that you find someone who will satisfy you. ”

Ye Hua was very suspicious of Chai Rong's vision, but it was not good to ask directly, anyway, if he could delay it, in case Chai Rong woke up and forgot all about today's events, wouldn't it be God bless!

Ye Hua was praying silently, but Chai Rong brought the topic back to the government, "Ye Qing, now we have disposed of the forbidden army, and we have also disposed of the local festival envoys. The top and bottom of the court, the government hall and the Privy Council, are in power, do you think they are honest and capable? ”

Ye Hua grinned bitterly, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to say it." ”

Chai Rong leaned back, supported his body with his elbows, and said without any image: "You think I can't hear it?" You don't dare to say it, it means that those people are really carried away! I heard that Wei Renpu actually proposed in the political hall that 100,000 people should be killed, who gave him the courage? Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao troops, leaving the name of killing gods, if I kill 100,000 of my own people, I will be crazy! Between civil and military, water and fire are incompatible, and it has reached such a point, what a headache! ”

Chai Rong is very distressed, this is also a sin created for decades.

The martial arts man gained power, regarded the literati as grass mustard, insulted and killed at will, and did not look at them as human beings at all! You must know that the literati are the most vindictive, and after gaining power, the revenge is also the most ruthless, sooner or later, they will kill the warriors at will...... This is a drink and a peck, and the retribution is unpleasant.

Of course, Ye Hua didn't want to watch the martial artists being completely suppressed.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what to say, but after all, the minister led the troops on the Northern Expedition, and the minister knows that the military rations transported to the front line are about 1.3 million stones, of which 350,000 stones are transported by merchants, that is to say, the military rations allocated by the imperial court are less than one million stones. Not long ago, the minister looked at the list of last year's final accounts, and in order to support the Northern Expedition, he spent a total of 8 million stone to store grain, and purchased 3 million stone from merchants, a total of 11 million stone. Eighty percent of the proceeds from the sale of bonds by the imperial court were used for military rations. ”

When Chai Rong heard this, he couldn't help but straighten his back, revealing an incredible expression!

The front received 950,000 stones, but the rear purchased more than 10 million stones, which is more than ten times worse!

How is this possible?

Normally, the loss of grain transportation is about 30%, of course, the war is tense, the speed must be fast, and the loss may be greater, but no matter how big the loss is, 3 million stone is enough, and if it is relaxed, even if 5 million stone is good!

Then there are still 6 million stones to be left, where is the grain?

Chai Rong stood up suddenly.

"Ye Qing, do you know anything? Where did all this grain go? ”

Ye Hua said helplessly: "The minister wants to track it down, but he can't get the account books, and he doesn't know his whereabouts, so he can't check it." ”

"yes, that's good!" Chai Rong gritted his teeth in anger, "I'm going to investigate this matter, if someone really embezzles so much food, I'll arrest all their nine clans and let them spit out every bit of it!" Forever and forever, repay this debt! ”

Chai Rong flicked his sleeves, came out of the diving mansion, and went back to the palace directly.

Back in the palace, Chai Rong didn't stop for a moment, asked people to transfer the account books of the household department, and then called a hundred little eunuchs.

Chai Rong has done a tea business, checking accounts and settling accounts, which is a good hand.

At the beginning, Guo Wei was not the emperor, and Chai Rong was in charge of military food and military supplies, and he knew this kind of thing.

The little eunuchs flew with their fingers, plucking the abacus beads, and in the entire hall, only crackling sounds remained, and Chai Rong walked around irritably.

is constantly calculating, if what Ye Hua said is true, and millions of stone grains are missing, it will be the biggest corruption case since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, this case also involves war bonds, which is even more extraordinary.

Chai Rong knew how many ordinary people took out their family savings to buy bonds, support the imperial court's war, and recover Yanyun. It turned out to be stolen by a group of rats.

If this spreads, where is the prestige of the imperial court?

The morale of the people will collapse, which is the foundation of shaking the society, and it is simply hateful!

The more Chai Rong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he waited until dawn, one after another, and the accounts were counted, and the little eunuch trembled, holding the results and sending them to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Chai Rong took it, only looked at a few pieces of paper, and he was completely angry! 、

Ye Hua said less, in the past three years, the government's grain inventory has decreased by more than 17 million stones, which is at least twice as high as the figure Ye Hua said!

These grains are Guo Wei's family funds that Guo Wei has worked hard for several years to save, but the result is that most of them are in deficit and disappear!

"Political Affairs Hall, go to the Political Affairs Hall to deliver the decree, and call those people to me! Not a single one to stay! Chai Rong roared angrily, and the little eunuch was so frightened that he hugged his head and ran away, and hurried to deliver the decree.

After a while, with Fan Zhen taking the lead, all the ministers arrived.

In the main hall, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and the eunuchs and palace maids all lowered their heads, not even having the courage to raise them.

Fan Zhen peeked and found that both of Chai Rong's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he obviously hadn't slept all night. Fan Zhen's heart chuckled.

Last night, the emperor urgently transferred the account books of the household department, and Fan Zhen knew about it. As Prime Minister, he slept with one eye open, and he felt bad at the time, and now it seems that the situation is much more serious!

"Fan Xianggong, Xue Xianggong, and Li Xianggong, the third division, supply military supplies to Youzhou, you have done a good job and are very timely!" Chai Rong had a layer of frost on his face, how could he have the slightest hint of praise.

"Can you tell me how the food was delivered? Is there any wear and tear along the way? And how much is the loss? ”

When these words were asked, several ministers looked at each other, and their faces were very bad.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end it all fell on Xue Juzheng, and said that you are favored these days, and you are in charge of the Privy Council, you come first!

Xue Juzheng swallowed hard and spat at the mouth, "That...... Your Majesty, when the grain was transported, yes, it was the traitor Zheng Renzhi who was responsible, he had ill intentions, maybe there was an omission, it was inevitable, the old minister thought it was ......"

Before Xue Juzheng could finish speaking, Chai Rong grabbed a stack of bad accounts and slammed them on his face!

Xue Juzheng was so frightened that he hurriedly lay on the ground, and said in a panic: "Please calm your anger, the old minister is guilty!" ”

Chai Rong's eyes were like an eagle, cold as ice, and he said word by word: "You are my privy envoy, and when something happens, you push it on a dead traitor?" You don't have a face, I still want this face! ”

The more Chai Rong spoke, the more angry he became, and he looked at several other ministers, and was furious, "You guys also kneel!" ”

Fan Zhen and Wang Pu are the first emperor's trusted ministers, under normal circumstances, Chai Rong should be respected as a master, today is really mad, how many families in Da Zhou can withstand such a defeat!

Chai Rong sneered: "The deficit of more than 10 million stone grains, I want you to give a reasonable explanation, if you can't take it out, don't blame me for being polite!" ”

After speaking, Chai Rong did not hesitate, turned his head and left, the eunuchs were bold, raised their eyebrows, and were aggressive. directly blasted a few ministers out of the palace, and there is no need to mention the embarrassment.
