Chapter 657: Subtle Method
After Su Xiaorui and Ye Xiaonian returned from the palace, they saw their mother and father talking in the pavilion. From a distance, they looked like a beautiful picture.
The two children walked over quickly, and Su Xiaorui naturally climbed on Ye Feibai's lap, and Su Ying took Ye Xiaonian into her arms and sat.
"Are you back?" Su Ying took a piece of flesh from the fruit plate and fed it to Ye Xiaonian.
Su Xiaorui went to one by himself and ate it with relish: "Mom, Grandpa Emperor is very angry today and even ignored us."
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Grandma is also very unhappy. Later we asked in detail and said that the censor submitted a memorial and exposed the fact that he had received an empty salary in the army."
"Eat a vacant salary?" Su Ying's face showed shock. She glanced at Ye Feibai and saw that he looked calm and didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, Ling Feng appeared: "Prince, the emperor has an order, please go to the palace immediately."
Ye Feibai seemed to have expected it, and there was no difference at all: "I know."
Su Ying's face changed slightly. As soon as the matter of taking empty wages was exposed, Emperor Ming issued an order to invite Feibai to the palace. Could it be that he asked him to thoroughly investigate the matter?
This is a landmineering matter that is often banned. No matter what era it is, it is a landmine.
It can even be said that whoever is involved is unlucky.
Su Ying looked at Ye Feibai with a worried look and hesitated: "Father, he..."
Ye Feibai stood up and looked at her, with a clear and indifferent look: "Wait for me to come back."
When Su Xiaorui and Ye Xiaonian saw the father's departure, they felt that their mother's expression was wrong, and their brows were tightly furrowed.
When Su Ying saw Ye Feibai coming back from the palace, she had a faint fatigue on her face. She poured tea for him with her own hands: "Let's drink some water first, have you eaten?"
Su Ying said to the outside: "Luhen, go and bring some food."
Su Ying stared at Ye Feibai: "Father really asked you to investigate this matter?"
Ye Feibai slowly drank tea and nodded slightly.
Su Ying asked anxiously again: "The matter of eating empty salary is not something that only happens now. Why did the emperor suddenly ask you to investigate this matter?"
Ye Feibai put down his cup, and a bloodthirsty flashed in his eyes: "Civil Lin is the fifth person."
"Fifth Prince?" Su Ying was now extremely disgusted with the fifth prince. He did not expect that he was not at peace during this period, but instead plotted against Ye Feibai on this matter.
The reason why Ye Feifan instigated to push this matter to Ye Feibai was because this matter could not be eliminated by an imperial edict, and it would be troublesome if it leaked.
Su Ying was very thoughtful. Since Emperor Ming handed over this matter to Ye Feibai, he was afraid that he would also be suspicious of Ye Feibai. In order to balance his power, he probably began to suppress Feibai.
Thinking of this, Su Ying couldn't help but hold Ye Feibai's hand, as if she wanted to pass on her power to him.
Su Ying frowned and said, "This matter cannot be solved simply. Even if it is thoroughly investigated, how can it be investigated? Such an errand is the most offensive. Blocking people's wealth is like killing parents. It is just a bomb, and it may be detonated at any time."
"Are you worried about me?" Ye Feibai's handsome and unparalleled face approached her.
His voice was as gentle as the sound of nature, neither too fast nor too slow, and his evil charm was low.
Su Ying glared at him angrily: "Don't worry."
"Not worried at all?" Ye Feibai raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't believe it."
Su Ying looked at his beautiful face, and her breath was filled with his grass-like smell. He was still staring at him for a moment. Su Ying felt as if she was trapped in a wonderful feeling at this moment, and a faint and charming smell flowed in the air.
Su Ying suddenly had a mess of thoughts in her mind, and she couldn't help but push his face away: "Do you believe it or not!"
Ye Feibai looked at her fair face slightly red, as if she was wearing a touch of rouge.
He touched his chin, and he met her gaze. A bright light flashed like a star in his beautiful eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up evilly, and a smile that charmed all living beings on his face: "You look the best when you worry about me."
Su Ying looked at him helplessly: "Your Highness Huai King, why do you still have the intention to joke now?"
Ye Feibai's bright red lips curled up, with a hint of arrogance. He reached out and hugged her into his arms: "As long as you are by my side, I feel very satisfied. The military's top must be severely punished, so you don't have to worry."
Su Ying leaned in his warm arms, thinking about how to do this beautifully and slapped the fifth prince in the face.
Ye Feibai didn't want to worry Su Ying about this matter. After dinner, he said to her: "It's getting late, so you can sleep with peace of mind."
Su Ying responded, but couldn't fall asleep at all.
Although Ye Feibai didn't care about it on the surface, he didn't eat much dinner, which shows that he had some psychological burden.
No one wishes to never get involved in such difficult errands.
Su Ying didn't fall asleep until the early morning. When Ye Feibai went to court, she didn't feel anything.
Su Ying lay lazily on the soft couch during the day and thought about it, but it really made her come up with some clues.
When Ye Feibai came back from court, Su Ying poured him tea and smiled: "I have some ideas here, do you want to listen?"
Ye Feibai glanced at her: "Tell me, let me see."
Ye Feibai was curious about what solution Su Ying had come up with.
Su Ying said seriously: "To be honest, now the waste of money has become a regular rule. Civil officials have to spend money to make up their income, and some officials have to give various filial piety to the upper peak. But what about military officers? Military officials have no place to plunder money, so they can only make the idea of paying money for soldiers."
Ye Feibai's eyes flashed with a smile, and he nodded in approval, signaling Su Ying to continue speaking.
"You have lived in the army and are naturally well aware of the situation in the army. You can think carefully about what kind of living standards can the middle and lower-class officers in the army rely on their salary alone?"
Seeing Ye Feibai thinking, Su Ying slowly said: "If the salary is too low, the court should raise their salary. If their salary increases and they still deduct military pay, if they investigate it at this time, the resistance will not be that great."
After Ye Feibai heard this, his fingers lightly clasped on the table, and his brows did not fully stretch.
Su Ying continued: "They were fighting in front of them and fought with their lives. If their salary could not even support their parents, wives and children, and they were still worried about the family's food, rice, oil and salt, how could they have the mood to make such a sacrifice?"
"Let me think about it." Ye Feibai touched his chin and nodded in approval. This was indeed a feasible way.
