Just now, Xing Tianze had handed over the papers of Yang Wentai and the other four to the emperor, and also told the reason why they were poisoned, and the captain himself admitted that he had been sent to the prison for embezzling military salaries.

The emperor was so angry that he almost didn't vomit blood, Taiwei was his most trusted minister, and the power given to him was getting heavier and heavier, and the privileges given to him were getting more and more.

But the emperor's purpose in raising him was to contain Xing Tianze, and definitely not to let him embezzle national resources, military salaries are related to the country, and he actually has bad intentions?

This is like treating the imperial power as a mustard, and treating the treasury as the account keeper of the Taiwei Mansion.

The emperor was angry and smashed another special vase again, and the fragments flew everywhere, startling everyone present except Xing Tianze.

They have been by the emperor's side for many years, and they know the truth that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and even if they say the wrong thing when the dragon court is angry, they may end up with their heads moving.

"Emperor Qi, the most important thing now is to recover the embezzled treasury, and in addition, we must severely punish the corrupt officials in the court." Xing Tianze spoke respectfully.

"Old Five, this is also the fact that you solved the case so quickly, it really surprised me, but your side concubine is the daughter of the captain, did you already receive the news about the disappearance of the military salary?" The emperor stood in place with his hands in his hands, staring at the five princes condescendingly.

"The emperor Mingjian, the minister will never do anything corrupt, this time the captain did also surprised the minister, if you think the minister's brother is suspicious, the minister will expel her from the palace after returning to the palace." Xing Tianze's face did not change.

He had already guessed that the emperor had come back with such a hand, and Sun Yingru's existence itself was a secret needle that the emperor had buried for him.

"I believe that you are innocent, but your side concubine is the daughter of the Taiwei, and it is difficult to block the mouth of the world." A thoughtful look flashed in the emperor's eyes: "In order to make the ministers have nothing to say, so the fifth brother, I won't give you any reward this time." ”

"As long as the emperor believes in the ministers, it is fine, and rewards are absolutely impossible." A strange look flashed on Xing Tianze's face with his head down, to say that there was no unwillingness in his heart, that was a lie.

"Old Five, the matter of corrupt officials is also very important, I want you to continue to investigate this matter secretly, as for the matter of military salaries, I will naturally let other people do it, it is better for you to go out of the palace less during this time, even if you are not suspicious, you must do it on the surface to avoid suspicion." The emperor waved his hand, and the five princes left.

After Xing Tianze saluted, he turned around decisively and left, without saying anything from beginning to end.

Looking at the back of the fifth prince leaving, the emperor turned around and came to the desk to pick up the teacup, and when he got it to his mouth just now, he fell to the ground abruptly.

"The emperor is angry!" Everyone present said in unison.

"Anger? Hum! The emperor's eyes were full of murder.

Xing Tianze, as his brother, is a strong contender for the throne after a hundred years, where is there any family affection in the royal family?

Among the emperor's current heirs, there is no one who can be compared with Xing Tianze, if he doesn't find an opportunity to pave the way for his son, it is difficult to say who will sit on this dragon chair in the future.

Originally, the matter of military salaries was confusing, and the emperor thought that even if he was given fifty days, Xing Tianze might not be able to solve the case as scheduled, and at that time, even if there were many ministers in the court who supported him, it would be difficult for him to speak again.

Unexpectedly, he solved the case so quickly, not only found the mastermind of Taiwei, but also dug up a gang of corrupt officials, so that the emperor's calculation that he had already laid down was completely in vain.

An hour later, in the study of the Five Princes' Mansion, Xing Tianze slammed the teacup on the ground, and immediately ten guards ran in from outside the door, and seven or eight black-clothed people came in through the window.

"I'll go back without you." Xing Tianze angrily asked everyone to retreat.

"What's wrong with you, but I've rarely seen you so angry." Traceless looked at him in surprise.

It wasn't until Xing Tianze told everything that happened in the palace that Wuji couldn't help but feel any anger, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Isn't this a normal thing?" The detection of the military salary case has already made you in the limelight, how can the emperor let you take all the credit alone. ”

"It is not the matter of military pay that the king is angry about, but what the captain said." Xing Tianze sat down angrily.

Soon he said the high-sounding words of the captain, and Wuxian frowned slightly, and a look of all thought flashed in his eyes.

After half a ring, Wuxian took a sip of tea: "I think the captain is not wrong." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xing Tianze looked at Wuxian in surprise, in his impression, the latter was not a person who saw money.

"Lord Wang, you have been an official in the court for more than ten or twenty years, right?" Wuxian slowly put the teacup on the table: "You may have been in the capital for a long time, don't you clearly know the situation of our Xingzhao Kingdom in the past few years, the flood in the south and the drought in the north, and the friction between the eastern border and neighboring countries from time to time, needless to say about the western border, right?" Every year, the imperial court allocates a lot of snowflakes and silver ......"

"Stop, this king doesn't want to be brainwashed by you." The fifth prince hurriedly sat on the other side.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm showing you a clear way, in the past few years, the imperial court has allocated annual disaster relief funds, plus the annual money and some other expenses for officials in various places, which has long made the treasury unable to make ends meet, if it continues like this, sooner or later it will run out." Without a trace, he explained slowly: "In the end, we can only increase taxes and increase the burden on the people's lives." ”

"What the hell are you talking about?" Xing Tianze still didn't quite understand what he was talking about.

"Why are you so stupid, without a trace means that you will use the power in your hands now to go to all parts of the country to severely punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials." Tao Mingxi slowly walked in from the outside with a tray.

"Xi'er, why are you here?" After seeing Tao Mingxi, Xing Tianze immediately showed a smile on his face.

"I saw that you went out early in the morning, and I went to the kitchen to cook rice porridge and stir-fry a dish for you personally." Tao Mingxi put the meal in front of the fifth prince.

"The princess actually washes her hands and makes soup?" Traceless looked at her with a mysterious look.

"There's no way I'm going to go out with a dozen guards, can I? When I have nothing to do, I go to the kitchen and let the cook teach me how to cook, so that I can cook it for the prince from time to time in the future to improve the taste. Tao Mingxi explained without changing his face.

Not to mention stir-frying, before Tao Mingxi crossed over, before he became a prison guard, he vowed to be a female chef, but later he couldn't match the arrangement of the family.

"Xi'er really made you happy." Xing Tianze's happy face was about to burst into joy, and he didn't care about the leaks in Tao Mingxi's words.

Traceless nodded slightly: "The princess seems to understand what she is saying?" ”

"You're giving you a good idea." Tao Mingxi sat down on a chair and looked at Xing Tianze, who had already started drinking porridge: "If it doesn't taste good, you are not allowed to spit it out, otherwise this princess will not do it in the future." ”
