Chapter 194: Come Prepared

Lu Jifei felt very upset, this kid made him don't talk about it, and now he is secretly sarcastic about his hypocrisy, which is clearly arching the fire.

You can't be angry now, otherwise you'll fall into the hands of this little eunuch.

The top priority is to impeach him, not to quarrel.

"Your Majesty, Su Xuan is clearly lying to confuse the public and confuse the public!"

Lu Jifei arched his hand and said loudly: "It is an indisputable fact that Su Xuan colluded with businessmen to seek benefits. Please also ask the emperor, to be clear!"

"Lu Aiqing, is there any evidence?" The Emperor asked.

"All the salt merchants in Beijing have seen it with their own eyes. The dog also saw him selling salt in Fuyao Tower." Lu Jifei said.

The emperor turned to look at Su Xuan and asked, "Little Xuanzi, how do you explain it?"

The emperor still trusts Su Xuan very much, maybe he did collude with businessmen, but the emperor didn't think that Su Xuan, who was so smart, would blatantly collude.

Therefore, the emperor also wanted to hear what Su Xuan explained.

"Back to the emperor, the minister has just said that the minister is indeed doing business. I don't know why Lord Lu is so anxious to frame me, and I don't know if Lord Lu has colluded with the old salt merchants, and the minister's actions have harmed Lord Lu's interests." Su Xuan arched his hand and said.

"Su Xuan, you spew blood! This official is a scholar of the Ministry of Works, and he has been honest all his life, and it is impossible to follow your example and use his power to seek benefits!" Lu Ji stood up angrily, pointed at Su Xuan and said angrily.

In fact, the rules in the Great Yan Dynasty are not strict.

Unless the emperor shouts to kneel, the civil and military officials above the court do not need to kneel and speak.

Emperor Jingyang is shrewd, but also very enlightened, so yes

Yu Lu Jifei didn't take it to heart when he got up by himself, he didn't let Lu Jifei kneel down and speak.

On the contrary, the emperor did not like to kneel at every turn.

"The last one who spoke generously in the court had already moved his head." Su Xuan said coldly.

"You!"

When Lu Jifei heard this, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

This is to compare him with the original household department Shangshu, saying that he is also a sanctimonious person!

"Your Majesty, Su Xuan ruined the reputation of his ministers, and asked the emperor to be the master of his ministers!" Lu Jifei said and knelt down again.

"I'm telling the truth, Lord Lu, are you weak-hearted?" Su Xuan turned around and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the minister has definitely not sought any personal gain, and all the minister's thoughts are tied to the country!" Lu Jifei made an impassioned speech.

"You didn't seek any personal gain, but your unorthodox son who knelt outside the Yingwu Hall may not be." Su Xuan said again.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Jifei really couldn't say Su Xuan, he was about to explode.

The emperor thought it was interesting when he heard it, and Su Xuan's words were heart-wrenching.

But the emperor still frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Little Xuanzi, get down to business."

"Yes."

Su Xuan arched his hand and said, "Lord Lu said that the ministers colluded with the businessmen, which is just his self-righteous side. The minister did do business in Beijing, as the minister had already acknowledged."

"But!"

Su Xuan suddenly raised his voice, and said loudly: "The minister makes money in business and fills the deficit for the treasury, and he doesn't dare to say that he is dead, but he also does his best!" It's better to make money with your skills than to stand on top of the court and talk about it, but you can never solve practical problems!"

of business

Dao, it does damage the identity of Su Xuandai's second-class master.

But when the emperor heard Su Xuan's words, he felt that what Su Xuan said was very reasonable.

At present, the deficit of 10 million taels of silver in the treasury cannot be made up by mouth.

Although there have been no major wars in the Great Yan Dynasty over the years, there have been many small wars.

For the sake of the people of Dayan, the emperor can be said to save them a little money, so he can save a little money.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the price of salt, when he first succeeded to the throne, the price of salt was three hundred

More than a pound. Ten years ago, he controlled the price of salt to 200 wen.

Over the years, he has been in power, and he has reduced the price of salt by half.

The price of salt alone is still like this, not to mention other taxes and so on, and it has also shrunk greatly.

Otherwise, where is the situation where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Great Yan Dynasty gradually becomes the three major dynasties together with the other two dynasties in the Eastern Continent?

Su Xuan looked at the emperor's thoughtful appearance, and then said, "Some people slander ministers as officials, and they don't do official things. The minister does not need to explain this to anyone, and the minister has a clear conscience. When the minister enters the palace today, he has another matter to report to the emperor."

"Xuan."

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the silver money that the minister has earned in the past month."

Su Xuan took out a small book and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor immediately opened it and looked at it, and his eyes lit up.

Recently, he has eaten delicious food, is in a good mood, and his energy is naturally much better than before.

Now that I see the fold presented by Su Xuan, I feel better.

"This month, you actually earned more than 900,000 taels of silver?" The Emperor was surprised.

"Back to the emperor, the net profit is about 600,000. Every account since the beginning of this month,

The ministers have written it clearly." Su Xuan said in a deep voice.

When the civil and military officials heard the emperor's words, they all looked at each other and discussed in private.

"Earn a net profit of more than 600,000 yuan a month? That's more than seven million a year!"

"This Deputy Chief Su, maybe he can really fill the gap in the upper household department?"

"But it's not appropriate for him to do business, right? And where did the profit of more than 600,000 taels come from?"

……

"Your Majesty, Su Xuan colluded with Fuyao Tower to make money, if the emperor allowed Su Xuan to do this, then the civil and military officials above the court, this one colluded with businessmen, and that one colluded with landlords, and my Great Yan Dynasty will not be long before it will be rotten!" Lu Jifei said loudly.

Hearing this, the emperor's expression froze.

Lu Jifei's words are indeed not wrong.

If Su Xuan is allowed to set this precedent, I am afraid that the Great Yan Dynasty will be destroyed on top of ***.

Throughout history, which dynasty and which generation did not perish because of corruption?

Su Xuan was impatient now, he pulled Lu Jifei up from the ground, and smiled.

"Master Lu, you are so good at talking, why don't you talk about it. Shut up, just listen to you, and see if you can tell a flower." Su Xuan said with a smile, and helped Lu Jifei pat the dust on the hem of his clothes.

"Don't mess around!" Lu Jifei said angrily.

"If you want to speak, I'll listen to you." You say that I colluded with businessmen to make profits, you have to show me the evidence. If there is no evidence, I will want the emperor to visit you." Su Xuan said coldly.

"Your Majesty, Su Xuan made a profit of more than 600,000 taels, and the origin is definitely unknown, please ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation
