Chapter 360 Emperor Qian is furious! You are all courtiers!
"I...I...when did I stop being able to stand it?"
Song Kuan felt confused.
No! When did you give him a rubbing of the account book? Where did this come from?
However, although he was confused, the looks in his eyes from the ministers became even more sinister!
Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he believed deeply in what Lin Yiqiu said!
That's right! If Song Kuan hadn't given it to Lin Yiqiu, how could he have gotten these?
At this moment, Song Kuan has been completely confirmed as a traitor! Even though he himself still doesn’t know what all this is about!
Lin Yiqiu continued to speak, but this time he was talking to Song Kuan.
"Sir Song, it was after reading the account book you printed and hearing what you said that my heart lit up with a blazing fire!"
"I, Lin Yiqiu, have done for you what Mr. Song did not dare to do! It's just hateful! I can only kill those bastards like He Weixin! But these high-ranking officials in the court cannot be dealt with!"
"I...you..."
Song Kuan was speechless at this time.
Without giving him any time to think, Emperor Qian's words, as cold as ice, were suppressed!
"Song Kuan, is that true? Is what Lin Yiqiu said true?"
Song Kuan was so confused at this moment!
Of course this matter had nothing to do with him! Of course he didn’t give it to Lin Yiqiu after rubbing the account book!
Although he is already in his forties, almost fifty, his brain is not yet Alzheimer's, and he can even forget such things!
But if he denies it now, wouldn't it mean that he has chosen to go along with the other ministers?
What's more, Emperor Qian secretly warned him last night!
In this case, other ministers have completely regarded him as a traitor. If he denies it, others will not believe it, and Emperor Qian will be even more angry!
In that case, why not admit it and show your loyalty at the same time! Build a good impression!
Snap!
Song Kuan immediately fell to his knees!
"Your Majesty! What Lin Yiqiu said is indeed true! I...I did print the account book...and then..."
"Song Kuan...you..."
After Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help it at first and scolded in a low voice.
But without giving him a chance to continue speaking, Emperor Qian immediately became angry and scolded Li Yan first!
"Shut up!"
Raising his hand, Emperor Qian felt a crazy killing intent in his body!
How dare Li Yan continue to say anything? He knelt on the ground tremblingly! He handed over his hands to apologize!
The rest of the ministers did not dare to say another word, and some even trembled all over!
Emperor Qian suddenly sneered again.
"Prime Minister, you are indeed a good prime minister who cares about the country and the people! I never thought that you would do such a thing!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Li Yan's brows were as heavy as mountains at this time!
Emperor Qian continued to sneer, and then, when she raised her hand, the roster that was originally in Song Kuan's hand was sucked back by her in an instant!
After flipping through the roster, Emperor Qian's voice became even more shocking!
"As for you! Humph! You are standing in the court hall one by one! You are so high-sounding! You are talking about empty words for the sake of great achievements!"
"What's the result? Look at what you have done! All your hands have reached into the treasury!"
Holding up the roster, Emperor Qian had already stepped down from the dragon throne, looking directly at everyone with cold eyes!
"He Weixin! There are other officials from the Ministry of Etiquette! Eight people in total! They borrowed nearly 20 million taels of silver!"
"A small etiquette department! For its own sake, it actually emptied half of my treasury! It is indeed the backbone of my work!"
"If Lin Yiqiu hadn't given me this account book today, I would never have known about it! You guys did a great job! Well done!"
Emperor Qian was in such a state that he really wanted to kill them all with one sword!
"Song Kuan!"
She suddenly drank it!
Song Kuan kept kneeling on the ground and didn't get up!
Hearing this, quickly lower your head!
Emperor Qian reprimanded him coldly.
"As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sir, I am responsible for finance! You actually lent money from the treasury privately! And you borrowed so much!"
"Don't think that if you give Lin Yiqiu the rubbing list, I will forgive you! I think you are guilty and deserve to be executed!"
After Song Kuan heard this, his body trembled!
Good guy, why do you have to target yourself in the end?
But at this moment, Lin Yiqiu immediately pleaded for him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Song is actually very helpless about this matter!"
"Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue usually only has the right to manage money and does not have the right to spend money. The other six ministries ask him for money in various names, and Mr. Song cannot refuse to give it."
"Just like our Prime Minister, if he opens his mouth, how can Lord Song refuse? If he refuses, I am afraid that the court will directly exclude Lord Song!"
Although Lin Yiqiu was defending him, what he said was true!
The embarrassing thing about Tobe is as he said, he can only manage money, not spend it!
Therefore, even if the other six ministries asked for money in various names, Song Kuan could not deliberately refuse to give it.
When I asked for more, I began to borrow them privately. They were all officials in the same dynasty, so it would be too unreasonable not to borrow them!
Especially Prime Minister Li Yan, who has a higher official position than him and has the right to speak in the court. If he does not borrow it, I am afraid that he, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, will not be able to hang out in the court in the future!
And once it is borrowed privately once, these things will continue to happen in the future! It is impossible to prevent it!
But Lin Yiqiu continued to defend him.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Song and the other ministers have never collaborated! There is so much money in the national treasury, but he has never misappropriated a cent for himself!"
"It seems that Mr. Song deserves to be honest!"
As soon as these words came out, Song Kuan instantly felt less aggrieved!
That's right. Although he did something wrong, compared to other ministers, he has a clear conscience and has not embezzled any money from the treasury for his own benefit!
After hearing this, Emperor Qian's face instantly became much calmer.
"That's true, Song Kuan, you have to remember your integrity, it saved you! It was Lin Yiqiu who saved you!"
"I...understand!"
Song Kuan's face suddenly became solemn at this time.
Emperor Qian continued: "Since you did not do this intentionally, I will punish you with twenty canes! To serve as a warning to others!"
With a wave of his hand, the two guards outside the door had already walked in and pulled Song Kuan out.
Twenty strokes with the cane are neither serious nor careful.
How could those guards not understand Qiandi's request? Just a little bit of meaning would be enough!
And Song Kuan naturally understood in his heart that Emperor Qian wanted to give him a chance to leave first, lest he continue to stay in the court and arouse the hatred of the ministers!
After Song Kuan was pulled out, Emperor Qian naturally vented all his anger on other ministers!
"Song Kuan's crime can be punished lightly! But what about you?"
"Since I came to the throne, the national treasury has gone from empty to full! Although it is not rich! But it is enough to ensure that our country survives the disaster! But you! You really make me look good!" This chapter has been completed!
