The crown prince Li Chengqian's movements were very fast. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The day after the early court promulgated that the three of them would start the household inspection, the crown prince Li Chengqian had already taken the account clerks that Du He had prepared for him to the household department.
Although Li Tai, the king of Wei, was helpless, he had no choice but to go with him, he only hoped that Zheng Wall's fake accounts would be done very well, so that those bookkeepers could not see the flaws.
King Wu is a little more casual, and he should watch the excitement.
When the accounts kept fiddling with the abacus in the room of the household department, the three princes drank tea under a big tree in the courtyard of the household department, and the tea was naturally the new tea that Tang Zhou drummed out.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, King Wei, this new tea is very delicious, come and drink a few more cups."
The crown prince Li Chengqian was in a good mood, so he also gave Wu Wang Li Ke face, picked up a cup and drank it, and after drinking it, he felt more and more refreshed, but Wei Wang Li Tai was not in such a mood, he glared at Wu Wang Li Ke, and then snorted coldly.
Li Ke, the king of Wu, was not angry when he saw Li Tai, the king of Wei, like this, and after smiling lightly, he talked to the crown prince Li Chengqian about the recent interesting news of Chang'an City.
"Cuiming Building's business has been good lately."
Although the crown prince Li Chengqian hates Tang Zhou, he is in a good mood now, and he is also very casual when he talks with Li Ke, the king of Wu.
"Yes, a new tea, a cold skin, is enough to make Cuiminglou's business better."
After the crown prince Li Chengqian finished saying this, he suddenly realized that this new tea was brought by Li Ke, the king of Wu, so he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, after the ban on Tang Zhou's mansion was lifted, the city of Chang'an also began to sell new tea, but what did Li Ke, the king of Wu, mean by pulling the topic to Tang Zhou like this?
Just when the crown prince Li Chengqian was puzzled, Wu Wang Li Ke smiled again: "Yes, little brother, I once went to Cuiming Tower, which was still a small inn at that time, but I never thought that it would become the largest inn in Chang'an City now, tsk." ”
After Wu Wang Li Ke finished saying this, the crown prince Li Chengqian suddenly thought that Wu Wang Li Ke had indeed taught a group of powerful children in Cuiming Building, and he could be regarded as helping Tang Zhou at that time, so he couldn't help but think, could it be that Tang Zhou had already taken refuge in Wu King Li Ke?
Thinking of Tang Zhou's wedding, Wu Wang Li Ke's cousin Mu Qing congratulated Tang Zhou, he had more and more of this affirmation, so for a while he felt that Wu Wang Li Ke would become a great enemy if he won Tang Zhou.
Wu Wang Li Ke didn't know these thoughts of the crown prince Li Chengqian, he just felt that he was in a good mood today, so he casually said some things to make fun, but his kung fu was very good at observing words and feelings, and when he found that the prince Li Chengqian's expression was different, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
So he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's a pity, this king helped him so much at the beginning, and he wanted him a few catties of tea some time ago, but he pushed back." ”
When the crown prince Li Chengqian heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he secretly thought, it turned out that Li Ke, the king of Wu, wanted to avenge his grievances in front of him, he must have known that he was not dealing with Tang Zhou, so he said something to make himself happy, could it be that he wanted to take refuge in himself?
Li Tai, the king of Wei, was already indignant, and when he heard the words of Li Ke, the king of Wu, he thought that Li Ke, the king of Wu, was currying favor with the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he became more and more unhappy in his heart, so he waved his hand: "This king is not feeling well, so he will go back for the time being." ”
The crown prince Li Chengqian wished that King Wei would leave quickly, so that he would not play any tricks here, but Li Ke, the king of Wu, didn't want him to leave, if he left, there would be a good show there?
Therefore, Li Tai, the king of Wei, was just about to get up, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, hurriedly spoke: "King Wei, my father asked the three of me to check the household department, you leave at this time, I'm afraid something is wrong, right?" ”
Li Tai, the king of Wei, glared at Li Ke fiercely: "Does this king still have to be instructed by you to come and go?" ”
Li Ke never thought that Li Tai, the king of Wei, would be angry with himself, and he was very unhappy for a while, and was about to ridicule him, when the sound of the abacus in the house suddenly stopped, and then a person hurriedly ran from inside: "Prince, King Wei, King Wu, I found something unusual." ”
When the three of them heard this, they had no intention of intriguing here, and hurriedly entered the room where the account books were kept.
-----------------------------------------------
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
When Li Shimin was in the imperial study to review the folds, a eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Holy Lord, the prince, the king of Wei and the king of Wu ask to see him." ”
Li Shimin raised his head slightly, as if talking to himself: "So soon, there will be a result of the household inspection?" ”
The eunuch didn't dare to say much, but asked, "Holy Lord, can you announce their audience?" ”
Li Shimin nodded: "Xuan." ”
After a short time, the three princes entered the imperial study, and the crown prince Li Chengqian handed over a copy of the notebook, and said: "Holy Lord, after a morning of verification, the three brothers and I found that the household department has lost almost 10,000 yuan in recent years, and it is unknown who this 10,000 yuan has gone into. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he was shocked, 10,000 yuan was not much for him Li Shimin, but the household department inexplicably lacked such 10,000 yuan, and the situation was big, which showed that the officials of the household department were not clean.
They dare to be greedy for the money of the Mo court, can such an official still use it?
After carefully reading the recital handed over by the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Shimin was very angry and said: "Poor, let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple intervene in the investigation, we must find out who is greedy for this 10,000 yuan of money, and after finding out, I will not spare it." ”
The crown prince Li Chengqian was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Father, the person who can be silently greedy for so much money in the household department must be an important official of the household department, so the son suggested that before the situation of the household department is clear, several scholars and servants of the household department should be imprisoned, so as not to be greedy for ink is their doing, and they will do something from it during the investigation." ”
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
Li Tai, the king of Wei, knew at this time that all this was a conspiracy of the crown prince Li Chengqian, but now that his people really found out that the household was missing 10,000 yuan, he couldn't even if he wanted to defend Zheng Wall.
Now he can only find a way to protect the official wall of the household department.
But how can I keep him?
After the three of them left the palace, Li Tai, the king of Wei, hurried back to the palace and ordered: "Go and call Du Gou to this king." ”
There was a shocking case in the household department, and there was a loss of 10,000 yuan in a few years, which quickly spread all over Chang'an City, so when Du Wei came, he had already heard some rumors from the street, and the rumors spread so quickly that he felt that the situation was very serious, and it was also very strange.
After coming to the Wei Palace, Du Gou didn't have time to salute, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, now that the household has been investigated, Zheng Wall is more auspicious and less auspicious, this king wants to protect him, you quickly think of a way." ”
Hearing this, Du Wei was stunned and asked, "Lord Wang, can this Zheng Wall be related to the household ink embezzlement case?" ”
