"The Emperor is really not afraid of offending people."
Previously, Song Chen never expected that the emperor would actually raise such a banner.
All the officials sitting here now have their own accounts in front of them, and they only have two choices.
One is to check the accounts yourself, and the other is to let the other party check the accounts for you.
Whose accounts do you want other people to know?
"Let him be ridiculous. The more ridiculous he is, the better our chances will be."
Cang Xiuxuan squeezed Song Chen's hand under the table while others couldn't see it. Song Chen's face quickly turned red, and he actually felt an unprecedented excitement.
It's like... having an affair.
Under the table, Cang Xiuxuan's hand kept squeezing Song Chen's, with no intention of separating. Above, the emperor ordered several people one after another. Without exception, these people rushed to the emperor to plead for mercy. The meaning was clearly
No more auditing allowed.
The emperor had thought that this matter would not go so smoothly, but he never expected that they would all resist. Does he, the emperor, have any dignity?
At that moment, the emperor slapped the table and asked, "Do you all want to resist the decree?"
Disobeying an order is a serious matter.
When the courtiers below heard this, they shook their heads quickly. They could not recognize anything such as resisting the decree, otherwise it would really be a capital crime.
Not to mention that if you can't protect your family's property, your life will be lost.
"Please tell me, Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. I just don't want my family to be embarrassed by these things in the court. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Once the first person spoke, the rest naturally followed his excuse.
Suddenly the entire hall resounded with, "Your Majesty, please grant me permission."
The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face and looked coldly at the ministers below. They were afraid that they really didn't want to live anymore. If they could resist the decree on the spot, would he still be an emperor in their hearts?
They didn't want to do this today, but he had to do it anyway.
"You all are unwilling to check the accounts, so there must be something wrong with your accounts. Today I have to check your accounts. Didn't you say that your wife can't read the account books? What a big problem this is, I
There are many people in this palace who know how to read ledgers."
No one can stop what he decides to do.
After a while, the emperor had already called several people over.
Even though they are all eunuchs, they are all good at settling accounts.
Cang Xiuxuan recognized them, several of them were from the emperor's private treasury.
"The Emperor is not going to let everyone go unless he gets the money today."
Cang Xiu
Sure enough, when a minister sitting not far from them heard his words, his expression became even more different.
The emperor put on this posture, and they all guessed that maybe something big was going to happen. Now that Cang Xiuxuan was like this, they suddenly understood the emperor's true purpose.
Bringing the wives and account books of these officials, isn't it because you want to know their financial status?
Then I’m afraid we have to figure out how much money we should get from them based on their financial situation!
Such an emperor is really disgusting.
At that moment, these words were spread to the ears of several people, and everyone began to think of countermeasures. This account cannot be checked under any circumstances, and their money can no longer be taken out, otherwise they will not be able to live in the future.
pass.
The food is getting more and more expensive now, and we don’t know when it will rain.
Taking a step back, even if it rains now, the harvest will still have to wait until a year later. They will have to resist for another year. The changes in food prices during this year are beyond their control now.
Estimated.
They are a big family, and there are often hundreds of people in the family. If they don't have money, they will be forced to die.
But... none of them really can think of any way. Unless someone rushes out and kills the emperor now, otherwise the emperor will find people in the palace to check their accounts like now. After checking the accounts, it will be natural.
Start asking for money.
Mr. Liu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who was the first to be called, looked at these eunuchs with an increasingly ugly look on his face. The emperor was serious. No matter what, he was going to check this account today.
.
He knows what his own accounts are like, and if one of them is dead, then he will risk it all.
"Your Majesty, our country is currently suffering from a severe drought. So many people in the world are waiting for food assistance and rain from the sky. As the king of a country, your Majesty should share the suffering with the people.
But now, Your Majesty, you are so ridiculous, do you want to bear an eternal infamy?"
No matter what, he would die anyway, so he might as well say everything he wanted to say before dying, so that he could at least die more comfortably.
As soon as he said these words, everyone took a breath of cold air.
The emperor's face also turned livid, and he stared at him with his eyes, as if he could kill him with his eyes.
After a long time, the emperor spoke again, "Do you think this is ridiculous? Where does this absurdity come from? I am here to check your accounts today just to let you know in your hearts what you should and should not do. I am a person.
The king of the country needs to share the sufferings of the people, so why are you not parents and officials? Can you just take care of yourself?"
When the emperor said these words, he was not entirely talking about the Minister of Household Affairs. He knew that these ministers were not clean. The amount of money taken from them before was proof.
, there is such a big family to support, how can it be possible to support it just by relying on the salary from the court.
At that time, he turned a blind eye and nothing happened.
Now that something has happened, it is impossible for him to do this again, not to mention that as an emperor, he has no money to spend, how dare they, officials, leave so much money.
If he can't get money from these people today, he will start ransacking homes tomorrow.
If a house is searched, there will naturally be a lot of things that can be obtained.
The people below stopped saying anything. They knew that whatever they said was wrong.
The emperor also wanted to establish his authority and directly asked people to come forward to check the accounts. If the problem was serious, he even announced in court that his house would be confiscated.
Mr. Liu, the Minister of Household Affairs, was among those whose homes the emperor announced would be ransacked.
"I never thought that there would be so much money in the Ministry of Finance to make you fat. If I don't deal with you today, I will be sorry to the people of this world."
If compared to these official words, the emperor would naturally have them at his fingertips.
With the first one, there will naturally be a second one.
Just for this palace banquet, the emperor raided five houses.
The remaining officials are all in danger.
Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan were both spectators. Seeing the madness of the emperor and the resentment of the ministers, this was the best opportunity for them.
There is no need to wait any longer.
Song Chen quietly slipped out of the hall and successfully met up with Cang Xiuxuan's people in the palace.
This person surprised her. She had thought about countless possibilities, but she never thought of him.
After the message was sent, Song Chen directly launched the signal bomb. Cang Xiuxuan had already figured out the situation in the palace. At present, almost all of the emperor's imperial guards were in Beijing and stayed here to protect his safety.
As long as these people led by Cang Yi can deal with all the forbidden troops, everything will be easy to handle.
At this time, the city gate was locked. As soon as Song Chen's signal bomb was sent out, Cang Yi had already organized his team and prepared to proceed as mentioned before. When they arrived at the city gate, the city gate was also open.
The large army entered the imperial city very smoothly.
At this time, in the palace, all the Naxi people that Cang Xiuxuan had previously ambushed were used. At the palace banquet, Cang Xiuxuan's hand was smashed to the ground. Not long after, he appeared next to him.
Several men in black and some in official uniforms of the Great Rong appeared in front of him.
"Master, I'll be waiting for you."
Cang Xiuxuan glanced at them indifferently, then slowly took off the mask on his face, and smiled at the emperor sitting in the first place, "Father, long time no see."
The emperor never expected that such a change would happen, and his originally proud expression suddenly became extremely worried for some reason.
He knew to some extent what his son was capable of. He sent so many people out before but failed to capture their city. Not only did he fail to capture it, he also suffered huge losses there.
Then, the cities that Jin Chu had occupied before were unexpectedly in the hands of Cang Xiuxuan. They had no knowledge of them before. He had to start to re-evaluate his son.
The emperor quietly squeezed his fists, but looked at Cang Xiuxuan with a faint look on his face, "Why are you here?"
Cang Xiuxuan didn't feel as nervous as the emperor at all, he only raised his eyebrows indifferently, "What do you think, father?"
Cang Xiu
Everyone has forgotten what they are going to do next. They only know that their eyes are focused on the father and son, who will survive in the end.
"This time I came to bring a great gift to the Emperor. I believe all the adults are interested in it."
As soon as Cang Xiuxuan finished speaking, some people fell out of the darkness.
That's right, they just fell out. Following the movements of these people, the people standing behind them also appeared in front of everyone.
And those people who were thrown out first had all closed their eyes and were not breathing.
