"Reporting to your majesty, if I say that I killed them for Da Gan, will your majesty believe it?"
Lin Yiqiu suddenly changed the subject.
Before Emperor Qian could speak, Li Yan couldn't help it anymore, and this time he smiled directly.
"Lin Yiqiu, you are really getting better and better at talking nonsense. You killed everyone in the Ministry of Etiquette without authorization, and now you dare to say it was for the sake of success!"
"Qian Yongxu and He Weixin, you can have a reason to exonerate yourself! You still want to use such a lame excuse to absolve yourself of other people's deaths. It's really ridiculous!"
When Lin Yiqiu heard this, he was not angry, but sarcastically said: "Master Li, don't smile so happily now. To be honest, for the sake of Da Qian, it is natural for me to kill you now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yiqiu suddenly exuded an evil aura!
The evil spirit rushed straight towards Li Yan and the ministers, making them pale with fear!
Only then did Li Yan realize that he had almost forgotten something!
After all, Lin Yiqiu is also a master at the master level. If he really wants to jump over the wall in a hurry, he will be in great danger in this court!
But Lin Yiqiu quickly put away his evil spirit and said with a smile: "Master Li, gentlemen, don't be so nervous. Although I have a reason to kill you, I will not make my own decision this time!"
"Because of this matter, I feel that it is most appropriate for your Majesty to handle it!"
"Oh? Lin Yiqiu, what on earth is going on?"
Emperor Qian showed a very interested look on his face.
At this time, all the ministers were also full of suspicion and doubts appeared on their faces.
They were also very curious, what else could Lin Yiqiu say, so much so that he dared to boast that he could kill them directly?
As for Li Yan, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Lin Yiqiu did not answer directly, but took out a roster from his arms.
Then, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your doubts are all in this. After reading this, you will know why I dare to kill these people in anger!"
"Send it up!"
Emperor Qian said coldly.
The maid next to her nodded immediately, walked down the steps, took the roster from Lin Yiqiu's hand, and presented it to Emperor Qian.
All the ministers raised their heads and looked up. They were all curious about what was presented to them!
Qiandi quickly started turning the pages and remained silent.
It's just that her face became more and more drowsy as the roster turned over!
The hall was completely silent at this time, and no one dared to speak.
After almost half a stick of incense had passed, Emperor Qian suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the incense table!
And the angry shouting voices suddenly resounded!
"This is really unreasonable! All of you sycophants deserve the death penalty!"
As she spoke, she picked up her finger and pointed at the ministers underground, her eyes filled with murderous intent!
Almost all the ministers were stunned!
We were obviously talking about the execution of Lin Yiqiu today, so why did Emperor Qian suddenly get so angry? And he said they deserved to die too?
Then, when he saw Emperor Qian, he directly picked up the roster and threw it downwards!
"You all take a good look! Take a good look! Li Yan! Aren't you the prime minister? Look at the good things you have done!"
Li Yan was also confused at this time. After listening, he quickly bent forward and picked up the roster.
After flipping it a few times, his face immediately became groggy, and even suddenly turned black, like ink!
The information recorded on the roster is actually very straightforward and simple!
It was proof that their ministers had borrowed money from the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there were many IOUs in it!
After opening the roster, his name, Li Yan, was on the first page!
"Master Prime Minister? What happened?"
A group of people nearby were still confused, so they came forward and asked.
But Lin Yiqiu didn't say a word, just froze on the spot, frowning.
Seeing this, everyone could only take the roster in his hand and start flipping it!
Then, their faces all changed!
The atmosphere in the entire court instantly became much more depressing because of this list!
Li Yan just felt weird in his heart!
Their borrowing money from the treasury is actually a common practice among ministers.
As long as the quantity is small and the IOU must be issued quickly enough, then it won't matter even if the emperor finds out.
Find an excuse to say that something happened to your family and you can only borrow money for emergencies. The emperor will definitely not embarrass them too much!
But the terrible thing is that they borrowed too much money!
Even Li Yan himself was a little surprised!
He alone lent out more than 4 million taels in bonuses! And all the other ministers, in total, also lent out more than 10 million taels!
As for the deceased He Weixin of the Ministry of Rites, and other officials of the Ministry of Rites, it is even more exaggerated! The total sum is 20 million taels!
Daqian's treasury has less than 40 million taels of silver left. This is the result of Emperor Qian's hard work!
You know, before Emperor Qian came to the throne, Dagan's treasury was empty every year! Almost every time, he could not make ends meet!
It was not until Emperor Qian came to power that he made great efforts to improve the situation.
But the information displayed on this register now shows that half of the treasury has been borrowed by officials like them!
No wonder Emperor Qian's face suddenly darkened and he became so angry!
But at this moment, Li Yan turned his head and looked at Hubu Song Kuan coldly.
This account book and roster are owned by the Ministry of Accounts. Logically speaking, only Song Kuan is the only one who knows the details!
But now, Lin Yiqiu also has a share in his hands!
Li Yan was instantly convinced that Song Kuan must be colluding with Lin Yiqiu!
Although I don’t know what the reason is, there is no doubt about it!
No wonder Song Kuan's attitude was so abnormal today. No wonder he deliberately kept a certain distance from himself before going to court, saying that he would not join in the attack.
Now it seems that this is basically his and Lin Yiqiu's plan!
Damn it! It’s really hateful!
Thinking of this, Li Yan suddenly felt a burst of hatred in his heart!
However, Song Kuan had no idea that Li Yan was thinking of him so much at this time, or even what the roster was.
It wasn't until the roster was passed to him that Song Kuan flipped through it a few times before showing a very shocked expression.
"This...how is this possible?"
The roster has always been hidden in the hut of the Hubu government office, and no one would know where it is!
But Lin Yiqiu's roster is almost exactly the same as his! It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a rubbing of the original!
However, facing his confused expression, the other officials didn't buy it at all. Like Li Yan, they all showed extremely stern expressions at him!
Obviously, they all felt that Song Kuan had sold them out!
The most terrible thing is that Lin Yiqiu's next words directly confirmed this matter!
"Your Majesty, this is the rubbing that Master Song gave to me before. Master Song has long been unable to bear the sight of such a phenomenon in the court!" This chapter has been completed!
