Chapter 6 The Queen Mother's Thoughts
Yong'an Palace.
The people of Tantai stepped forward, like a beautiful girl, revealing shyness between their eyebrows.
"If it weren't for my aunt's strict order not to allow me to perform the charm technique, this little emperor would have fallen under my pomegranate skirt a long time ago. ”
This thought flashed in the hearts of the people of Shantaiyi, and their faces became more and more soft, touching and pitying.
Li Ci's expression was calm.
After guessing that the people of Tantai Yi might be from the Demon Dao Sect, Li Ci became vigilant in his heart, and the Son of Heaven practiced Qi Technique a little, and his mind was clear.
"What does the queen mother mean, let me use the people of Tantai and use the power of the sect behind the other party?"
Li Xi pondered for a moment and realized the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts.
If it was in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
It doesn't have to be this way.
But at this time, after the Anshi Rebellion, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has long been no better than before.
At such times, you should rely on all your strength.
Even if it's the Demon Gate.
It's just that Li Ci doesn't want to be like this.
He doesn't want his life's events to be linked to interests.
Li Ci has the Ten Thousand Worlds Summoning System, as long as Li Ci is given time, Li Ci will inevitably lead Datang to an unprecedented peak.
A moment later.
The Queen Mother returned to Yong'an Palace.
Li Ci said goodbye to the Queen Mother.
After Li Ci left.
The Queen Mother sat down slowly.
"Auntie. The Taiyi people said respectfully.
The Queen Mother glanced at the Yiren of Tantai: "How is Your Majesty doing to you?"
The Yiren looked hesitant: "Your Majesty and I have a few words." ”
"It's just that for me, I don't think that way. ”
The people of Shantai said truthfully.
This is what surprised her the most.
Although limited by the Queen Mother, the people of Tantai did not use the art of charm.
But with her appearance, even if she doesn't do anything, it is the biggest charm in itself.
Although Li Ci is the emperor, he is the honor of the Ninety-Five.
But the age is there.
It stands to reason that it can't resist the beauty of the Taiyi people at all.
"It's a pity. The Queen Mother sighed lightly.
It seems that his son rejected her kindness.
But the Queen Mother also understands.
As the emperor, Li Ci could not follow the queen mother in everything.
"Auntie, I want to try again. "The people of Tantai are a little unwilling.
"Please give me a chance!" said the Taiyi.
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment when she heard this, and said slowly: "It's no problem to give you another chance." ”
"But I said ugly things ahead, you can contact Your Majesty, but you are not allowed to use any means. ”
"And Your Majesty's feelings for you cannot be affected by any external force. ”
"Otherwise, you should know what to do. ”
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed, and she said in a cold voice.
"Yes..."
The Tantai people bowed their heads and said.
...
In the Hall of Eternal Life.
Li Ci flipped through the folds.
"Your Majesty, the book of the household department is here. The eunuch reported.
"Let him in. ”
"I've seen Your Majesty. Hubu Shangshu said respectfully.
Li Ci covered the fold and looked up at the Hubu Shangshu: "How is the disaster relief in Shudi?"
"Back to Your Majesty, several princes don't seem to be very happy, they have been staying in the palace and have not come out. Tobe Shangshu said cautiously.
"Them?" Li Ci smiled: "Don't worry, they will come out soon." ”
These princes, now in the palace, are nothing more than relying on their mother in Chongsheng Palace to go to Yong'an Palace to plead with the Queen Mother.
When they know the attitude of the Queen Mother in Yong'an Palace, they will know what to do.
"Do you have any other questions?" asked Li Ci again.
Hubu Shangshu glanced at Li Xi cautiously, and finally said, "I don't know how many taels of silver are you going to allocate to the disaster area, Your Majesty?"
"What do you mean?" Li Xi raised his eyebrows.
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, there are not many taels of silver in the treasury, and there are only four million taels of silver left. Tobe Shangshu said with a bitter face.
"Four million taels?"
Li Ci was shocked.
For ordinary families, four million taels is a wealth that they dare not think of in this life.
But this is the Datang treasury!
Pour out all the wealth of the Tang Empire!
In this case, it is only four million taels, which is simply too little!
"What is the reason?"
"As the head of the household department, you are in charge of the treasury, and now you tell me, why is the treasury only this money?" Li Xi forcibly suppressed his anger and looked directly at the head of the household department.
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"
"The old minister swears to the sky that every penny in the treasury has a clear place!"
Tobe Shangshu immediately trembled, knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice.
"A clear place to go?"
"Your Majesty, please see. ”
"This is a record of the transfer of money in the imperial court. Tobe Shangshu took out a book.
Li Ci immediately began to flip through it.
"In the first month of the first year of the new calendar, Prime Minister Yuan Zai transferred one million taels of silver on the grounds of building a mansion. ”
"In February of the first year of the new calendar, Prime Minister Yuan Zai transferred 800,000 taels of silver instead of the military department, and the reason was that the armor was replaced. ”
"In the third month of the new calendar, Prime Minister Yuan Zai transferred two million taels of silver on the grounds that the official was lulu. ”
...
...
"In August of the first year of the new calendar, Prime Minister Yuan Zai feasted his ministers and transferred 500,000 taels of silver. ”
...
The more Li Ci looked at it, the more frightened he became.
In less than a year, this prime minister, Yuan Zai, actually transferred more than 10 million taels of silver from the state treasury.
The most ridiculous thing is that the reason for taking away the silver is absurd to the extreme.
To build a mansion, it takes a million taels?
What kind of mansion are you building?
Even my palace didn't cost so much money, did it?
There are also officials, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty have never had many of them, so how can they need two million taels of silver?
As for the feast of the ministers?
What does this have to do with the imperial court?
On what basis is the treasury mobilized?
Li Xi was furious.
Although he had long predicted that there would inevitably be corruption in the DPRK and China.
But Li Ci couldn't have imagined that someone would be so bold and dare to hit the attention of the national treasury?
The treasury is the foundation of a country!
It is also the embodiment of a country's strength!
Now it's being manipulated so casually?
Boom!!
Li Xi slapped it fiercely on the dark wooden table, shaking the entire Hall of Eternal Life.
"Your Majesty is angry. ”
"Your Majesty is angry. ”
Countless eunuchs and maids knelt down in unison, trembling with fright.
The gold-armored guard also knelt on one knee.
"Why don't I know about the prime minister's transfer of the treasury?" Li Ci took a deep breath.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yuan Zai, every time he moves the treasury, he brings His Majesty's holy decree, which is stamped with a seal, and the old minister has to come from..."
Tobe Shirou said stiffly.
"Divine decree?"
"Seals?"
Li Xi sat back on the throne of the dragon chair.
"Someone. ”
"Lord Xuancao. ”
Cao Cao Zhengchun was dealing with the affairs of the East Factory, and when he learned that the emperor had summoned him, he immediately entered the palace.
"Your Majesty. ”
Cao Zhengchun bowed.
Li Xi looked at Cao Zhengchun, and said directly in front of the head of the household: "I will give you a task now." ”
"In half a day, I will find out who is pretending to be my will and forging my seal. ”
"Obey. Cao Zhengchun nodded, a flash of excitement on his face.
His Majesty finally began to give him an account to do it.
"And. ”
Speaking of this, Li Ci paused for half a second and continued: "I want to know all the information about Prime Minister Yuanzai, especially in terms of family property. ”
"I want to know how much property the prime minister has, how close he has contacts with those ministers, and how much he has embezzled. ”
"Obey. Cao Zhengchun said again.
When the head of the household next to him heard this, his face changed suddenly, and there was only one thought in his heart:
"Your Majesty is going to do something to the Prime Minister!"
