Chapter 576
Tang Yang whispered: "Your Highness, this possibility is not without. In recent years, Concubine Xian has spent a lot of money in the palace. She can't afford it with her example."
Yuwenhao said deeply: "I have asked her, and she said that the foreigner gave her silver."
Mr. Su said, "My cousin, I'm afraid there isn't. You know what the situation of the Su family is now. The money in the public is not enough to spend at all. Where can I still have the remaining money to support my aunt?"
Yu Wenhao was in a state of confusion, "I'll ask Su Da and this matter tomorrow."
Mr. Su said: "But you have to have a plan in your heart. If your aunt really gets involved in this matter, what will you do?"
Yu Wenhao sighed softly, his eyebrows raised, "What else can I do? She must vomit this kind of money back."
However, if she really had a share, the money she got would have been spent long ago, so how could she return it? Even if the millions of taels of silver were really used for 200,000 taels on the Lefeng Mountain, she would still have to throw up 800,000 taels.
Moreover, if the father learned, could he spare her?
The next day, Yu Wenhao invited Su Dahe to the mansion.
Su Dahe worked in the Ministry of Revenue, so he naturally knew that Yu Wenhao had transferred the account book of Mafengshan, so he knew it today.
However, Yuwenhao did not see any panic on his face, and even took off his uncle's airs and accused him first, saying that he was disobedient to the Virtuous Concubine.
After hearing these words, Yu Wenhao felt deep down. From Su Dahe's words, he could tell that his mother's mother had a close relationship with her parents' family. His so-called disobedience was nothing more than what happened in recent days, but Su Dahe knew about it.
Yu Wenhao didn't say anything, just asked him to read the account book.
Su Dahe glanced at it and asked lightly: "I have read these books, and I have recorded some of them myself. What is the problem with the prince?"
Yu Wenhao's voice was slightly cold, "The cost of Lefeng Mountain is 200,000 yuan, and the expenses in the past five years have cost hundreds of thousands of taels. In five years, a small Lefeng Mountain has cost millions of taels of silver. Do you really think the silver from the court is blown by the strong wind?"
Su Dahe smiled, his eyes shining with a mocking light, "Your Highness, are you thinking of a way to make contributions? It is better to handle a few more cases to pull your braids on the mountain of Lefeng. There is no problem with these books at all. Lefeng Mountain has spent so much money. If your highness thinks there is a problem, you can disclose these books in the court. However, I am your uncle and I cannot help but warn you that Lefeng Mountain is a taboo. No one wants to hear these three words. Your Highness should not make mistakes. If you are scolded by the emperor at that time, it will be thankless."
After saying that, he took a sip of tea calmly, then glanced at Yu Wenhao and snorted.
Yuwen Hao's eyes were filled with anger and said coldly: "The account book is not made public in the court, I can deal with you. How much money have you embezzled? You know in your heart that you should eat rotten steamed buns for patients in the mountains? You only have two meals of meat a year? You have earned these money, are you feeling depressed? You are simply crazy!"
After hearing Yu Wenhao's words, Su Dahe's face changed and said angrily: "Five Lao Wu, the so-called Thunder God in the sky and uncle under the ground, you put the key points, what is crazy? Don't I give them food and clothing? They are all in the mountains and do not need to do any work, and enjoy the happiness. What's wrong with eating steamed buns? You are a wealthy man who is raised in the Tian family, so naturally I think steamed buns are not delicious, but when you look outside, how many people are tired and are looking forward to a steamed bun. As the crown prince, you don't know the suffering of the people, why isn't you ridiculous of not eating meat?"
This fallacy made Yu Wenhao burst into tears. He slapped the table and said angrily: "Is the silver you paid for? Is it worth eating steamed buns? In recent years, hundreds of thousands of taels of food and drink, and the silver from the court is so easy to cheat? You think that no one is concerned about the matter of Mafeng Mountain, so you are trying to make trouble, right? Let me tell you, if you do anything against your conscience, there will always be a day of exposure. Tomorrow you'd better go to the yamen to surrender yourself. If you want Jingzhao Mansion to come to arrest someone, don't blame me for being merciless at that time."
Su Dahe was so angry that she sneered, "Catch me? OK, just catch me, but don't blame me for not reminding you first. This matter is not my own decision, and the money doesn't fall into my pocket. Enter the palace to ask your mother, did she take the big head for the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver over the years? I'm afraid that the so-called unconscience-abiding silver in your mouth have been spent on you, and I'm still arresting me? You wash your shit on your body first!"
After saying that, Su Dahe actually held his head up and walked away with her sleeves, looking arrogant as if Yu Wenhao had no choice but to do anything to him.
The matter was really hit by cousin Su, and Yu Wenhao suddenly felt angry and anxious. Is the mother crazy? She is even greedy for all the money?
Tang Yang heard it outside, pushed the door open and asked with a worried look: "Your Highness, what do you think of this matter?"
Yuwen Hao's face was as cold as ice, and he asked in silence: "What do you think?"
Tang Yang sighed and said, "Son is very unfilial. There is no other way to cover up this matter. No one will continue to investigate this matter. It is not difficult to cover it up. It is just that the future expenses must be controlled. You can take over the materials on the mountain yourself."
"Discover it?" Yu Wenhao held his breath in his heart, breathing hard, "Do you know how much military expenditure has been allocated this year?"
"Twenty million taels!" Tang Yang knew it and said softly.
Yu Wenhao was so angry that he laughed, "Twenty million taels are a 10 million taels less than in previous years. The remaining ones are said to be distributed at the end of the year, why does it take so much trouble? It is because the treasury has no money and the treasury is empty. It is necessary to wait for the taxes from various places to pay before the money can be allocated. Since the father ascended the throne, he has to build water conservancy, dig canals, and revitalize farming subsidies. Do you know, how much is the annual expense in the palace?"
Tang Yang sighed softly, "The Emperor is indeed very frugal."
Yu Wenhao said angrily: "It's not just frugality? Who doesn't say that his father is the most stingy emperor in the Northern Tang Dynasty? He even had to write IOUs for rewards. Have you ever seen the emperor who wrote IOUs?" Yu Wenhao was so angry that he cried, "Although his father felt that it's bad luck for people who are sick, he felt guilty. So although he knew that the expenses of Mafeng Mountain were high in recent years, he never doubted it. But he was afraid that he would never dream of someone who was harsh on these serious illnesses and fill their personal pockets with the money for food and medicine. Tang Yang, how do you ask me to hide it? Can you forget about this?"
