"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people have saved Lord Xun by mistake. Wang Yi replied.

Li Yuanzong laughed, "Very good, first saved the important ministers of the imperial court, and then revealed the ghost clan's plan to resolve the danger of the northern capital." What reward do you hope for such a meritorious service?"

"It's ....... Wang Yi didn't know whether it was good or bad to mention it directly.

Seeing Wang Yi's hesitation, Li Chengqing said directly: "Father, Wang Yi is really an immortal cultivator in the Qi refining period, if his father can reward him with one or two magic weapons, Wang Yi will be happy to accept it." ”

Li Yuanzong nodded, and did not express any surprise at the fact that Wang Yi was an immortal cultivator. 1 Rank Immortal Cultivation, but there is nothing to be surprised about.

"Wang Yi, in this way, then let King Qing take you to choose two suitable magic weapons, I don't know what you think?" Li Yuanzong said.

Wang Yi was super excited, not to give himself anything, but to choose, which is not the same concept as direct reward at all.

What is the choice, although the word 'fit' restricts Wang Yi from taking those things that are too high-end, but things that are too high-end, Wang Yi also can't use them, he can choose two things that are most suitable for him.

It's not about choosing equipment at the stalls, it's not about choosing equipment in the store, it's about choosing equipment from the treasury.

Take your pick!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Yi said loudly.

"Good. Li Yuanzong has finished dealing with Wang Yi's affairs now, so he will not pay more attention, "In addition to King Qing, the prince who is responsible for garrisoning Yanjing also contributed a lot in this battle. ”

......

......

Wang Yi obediently returned to the back and stood up, listening to the emperor reward the meritorious heroes in this battle one by one. To be reasonable, for ministers, the best reward is not finance, but promotion, because after promotion, money will follow.

The emperor also thinks so, so those with small merit will be rewarded with money, and those with outstanding merit can be promoted to knighthood.

finally completed the reward, and when it came to the rhythm of 'playing something and retreating from the dynasty if there was nothing to do', the eldest prince Li Chengyu suddenly jumped out and played a book.

"Father, the son has a start. ”

"Speak. The Emperor spat out a word.

"The day before yesterday, Erchen led the army to defend the city defense, and when he was mobilizing military funds, he found that there were many inaccuracies in the reserves in the arsenal and in the case files. Erchen believes that there may be people in the court who are embezzling military salaries. Li Chengyu said solemnly.

"What?" Li Yuanzong slapped the dragon chair with his hand and said angrily.

It is not to blame that he was angry, embezzling military salaries is a serious crime that can lead to the destruction of the country in times of war, and every king will take it very seriously.

Sure enough, not only Li Yuanzong, but everyone else also frowned and whispered in a low voice. Some of them knew about it beforehand, and most of them had just heard about it.

Wang Yi's expression was very relaxed, and this content had already been recorded in the "Taigu General History".

On the same day, the seventh prince Li Chengqing led the dragon cavalry to the expedition, and handed over the important task of guarding Yanjing to Li Chengyu, when Li Chengyu took people to the armament depot to receive equipment, he found that the feather arrows were the most seriously missing, and the armor and weapons were also missing to a considerable extent, which was seriously inconsistent with the number recorded in the case file.

At that time, the situation was more urgent, and Li Chengyu did not ask the people in the military department to hold him accountable, but now that the battle is over, this matter has to be talked about properly.

"The secretary of the military department, do you know about this?" Li Yuanzong roared angrily.

The emperor roared, and Xuan Chengli, the secretary of the military department, suddenly trembled, and hurriedly trotted two steps to stand in the middle, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said happened that day, but the arsenal has a wide variety of military reserves and a huge quantity, and it is normal for people to occasionally discrepante with the records in the case file. Although the subordinate officials failed to personally supervise the entry and exit of each case of military funds, the subordinate officials will inevitably be responsible for such a major event. Your Majesty can rest assured that after the subordinate returns, he will thoroughly investigate to the end, and if someone deliberately embezzles military funds, it is recorded that there was a mistake in the record of receiving military funds. ”

These words are the response plan that Xuan Chengli has already thought of, although he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, but most of the products are in and out of the warehouse, he just signs it, and it is impossible to bow down every time.

So, he can use the tone of 'I don't know', 'I'll wait until I go back and ask' to fool the first level first.

It's not the first time that Xuan Chengli has done this, practice makes perfect, but this time the idea was back, and it happened to hit the muzzle.

It stands to reason that Xuan Chengli has no ability to directly embezzle military funds, because the weapons and equipment he intercepted have no practical meaning to him, he can't sell them first, and second, he has nowhere to hide.

This case is actually a one-stop corruption, which can be said to be the largest corruption case in the history of the Northern Capital, and many important ministers of the imperial court are involved.

The first is Zhao Yin, the head of the household department, the emperor approved a batch of military expenses, and if Zhao Yin felt that the time was right, he would withhold a part of it. For example, the emperor said that I would spend 10,000 taels of gold to make a batch of weapons and armor, and Zhao Yin took 10,000 taels from the treasury and allocated 7,000 taels to the Ministry of Industry.

They can't sell the military funds they make, but everyone can hide and spend the real money.

When the 7,000 taels arrived at the Ministry of Industry, they naturally couldn't make equipment worth 10,000 taels, but when they arrived at the Ministry of War, they had to confirm that they had signed for equipment worth 10,000 taels. At this time, the cooperation of the military department is needed.

Naturally, the secretary of the military department signed for this batch of materials, because you signed for it, but there is nothing in the arsenal, so who to find if something happens?

Like now.

Therefore, the secretary of the military department still has to find a way to consume the things that are not in these arsenals.

How to consume it, that is, the general Chu Han of the chariot cavalry takes out more every time he leads the army, and the feather arrow is the easiest to consume, so the feather arrow is the most embezzled. The reason why Xuan Chengli crashed into the muzzle of the gun this time was because of the surprise attack of the ghost clan. Otherwise, there would be no incident where Li Chengyu personally came to receive the equipment.

Li Chengyu came, but he didn't receive many arrows, which was undoubtedly a disaster for the soldiers defending the city, and it was also the reason why Li Chengyu was in a hurry to take down Xuan Chengli.

Li Chengyu still didn't know that the interests behind the scenes involved so many important ministers of the court, thinking that Xuan Chengli did it alone. Historically, it took a lot of effort to solve this matter.

Although Xuan Chengli is not fearless now, he is not completely messed up, after all, no one in this chain of interests will sit idly by and watch him go to prison and ignore him, which will only harm himself.

"You said that you want to investigate this case thoroughly, how long will it take?" Li Yuanzong felt that what Xuan Chengli said seemed to have some truth, so he calmed down a lot and asked.

"When I go back to Your Majesty, I will give Your Majesty an explanation for half a month at most and a few days at the least. ”

Of course, Xuan Chengli will not explain, and this matter was later tried by Li Chengyu little by little, but now everyone doesn't know it.

However, at this moment, a person who surprised Wang Yi opened his mouth.

I saw Li Chengqing take a few steps forward, walked to the center of the hall and said, "Father, if this matter is handed over to his son, I don't know what my father wants?"
