Chapter 15 Secret Investigation of Corruption

After going to court, Bai Yutian came to the imperial study room to practice daily.

Now, practicing has almost become a compulsory course for Bai Yutian every day. He practices Kung Fu in the morning, and in the afternoon he goes to the horse farm and martial arts training platform in the palace to practice various martial arts.

Today, Bai Yutian's harvest was quite rich. He almost blackmailed all the ministers in the Gu family camp, leaving them unable to tell the story of their suffering.

The originally empty treasury has now been directly increased by millions of silver taels, and various arrangements are completely sufficient.

As for the later expenses, Bai Yutian could only think of another way.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutian had to lament that these ministers had a rich family background. Although the average person had tens of thousands of taels of silver, it was probably just a pain in the ass for them.

As for the amount of money embezzled by Gu Taizhong, the Imperial Preceptor, it is estimated that there are countless more.

However, Bai Yutian currently has too few people available, otherwise, he would have arranged for manpower to secretly investigate corruption.

In the army, the only people who can be trusted are Jing Zhao and other people in the Fenghuo Camp. Now that Jing Zhao has led the Fenghuo Camp to fight against Shan Nu and regain Liangzhou, only the power in the palace is left to protect him.

As for the civil servants, there were only a few such as Yuncheng. Apart from Yuncheng, the others were not of much use.

Bai Yutian shook his head, eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind, entered a state of concentration, practiced the exercises, and circulated his internal energy.

After the training was completed, Bai Yutian called Concubine Yun to help him bathe, dress, and give him a massage afterwards.

I don’t know who she learned this massage technique from, but it was so magical that all the fatigue in his body disappeared.

"By the way, Jin Yiwei!" Bai Yutian, who was enjoying Concubine Yun's massage, suddenly said in surprise.

Whether investigating corruption or executing various orders, Jinyiwei is a good choice.

Now there are only the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards in the Great Zhou Palace. The Imperial Guards guard the palace all year round, while the Imperial Guards protect the safety inside the palace and follow Bai Yutian when necessary. The two are combined internally and externally and are heavily guarded.

However, another force can still be formed among them, an organization that specifically obeys the emperor's orders, inspects the world, collects intelligence, and performs tasks.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutian quickly ordered people to call Chen Hong, Cao Shan and others in. Also coming in with them were Dian Wei, Zhao Chuxue and Yuncheng.

These four people are currently Bai Yutian's most trusted generals, besides Jing Zhao.

And Yuncheng was also given high hopes by Bai Yutian.

"Jinyiwei?" After hearing Bai Yutian's description, several people almost exclaimed in unison.

This was the first time they heard such a statement, and they were suddenly surprised.

Indeed, almost all the forces established by the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were to protect themselves, but they never thought of letting them go outside.

"Your Majesty, this idea is simply wonderful. Not only can it show the majesty of the royal family, but it can also inspect the world on behalf of your Majesty." Chen Hong said with great joy.

"It's just." Cao Shan on the side looked solemn, "The training and selection of personnel require a lot of manpower and material resources, and they also require absolute loyalty."

Hearing Cao Shan's words, Bai Yutian smiled softly: "If you give up, you will gain. Now I have just raised some money from all the ministers. In addition to using it for military pay and disaster relief, the rest can be used to build up a force.

The current situation in the imperial court is characterized by internal and external troubles. If I want to revive the Great Zhou Dynasty, I must first stabilize the internal situation."

"Yes." Several people nodded in agreement, hearing the determination in Bai Yutian's words.

Ever since Bai Yu Tianzhang blamed Taizhong, the relationship between the two has already been cracked and can no longer be eased.

Moreover, Gu Taizhong was in power and had too much ambition. He was also selfish, selling out his country for glory, and only wanted to gain his own interests.

Over the years, Gu Taizhong supported his cronies and excluded dissidents, which made the court a mess, making it impossible for many aspiring ministers to display their talents, and their talents were not recognized and they quit the court.

In order to revive the Great Zhou Dynasty, Gu Taizhong, the Gu family, and Bai Yutian must be eliminated.

It's just that with the current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Gu Taizhong, Gu Lianxi, various ministers, and Bai Yu can't get rid of any of them.

There are family-minded people from almost all walks of life among the industrial, commercial, scholar-farmers in Tailin City, and their roots are deep.

Even within the palace, the only people he truly trusted were Chen Hong and a few others. Among them, there were countless Gu Taizhong's spies and undercover agents.

For this reason, Bai Yutian urgently needs to form his own force.

"In addition, Yuncheng, I plan to give you an important task. I wonder if you have the confidence." Bai Yutian turned to look at Yuncheng.

Yuncheng had just been named acting prime minister by Bai Yutian. He had become famous at a young age and was full of high spirits. It was just when he wanted to display his ambitions. When he heard Bai Yutian say this, he immediately replied confidently: "Your Majesty, please tell me that I will do my best."

Bai Yutian nodded and smiled: "Very good, Yun Aiqing, I plan to let you secretly investigate the issue of corruption and the emptiness of the treasury. I don't know what you want."

The investigation of corruption and the empty state treasury are the most serious problems in Dazhou at present. Without money, it is difficult to move forward.

Although some money was extorted from the ministers this time, judging from the current situation, it is far from enough.

When several other people saw that Bai Yutian was planning to intervene in the investigation of corruption, they couldn't help but feel surprised, but they were still very happy.

Especially Concubine Yun Guifei, seeing Bai Yutian's increasing changes, was filled with confidence in the future of Great Zhou.

Yuncheng said without any hesitation: "Your Majesty is willing to hand over this important responsibility to me. Is there any reason why I should not refuse?"

Yuncheng knew the importance of this task, and he also understood that Bai Yutian gave him this important task so that he could accumulate qualifications.

After all, he is only twenty years old, but he has already become the acting prime minister, so he will naturally attract a lot of cold looks and jealousy.

If this task is completed, earth-shaking changes will surely take place in the DPRK, and countless people will be involved. Naturally, the remaining people will sincerely recognize Yuncheng as acting prime minister.

"Very good, keep going, I have great confidence in you." Bai Yutian patted Yuncheng on the shoulder, making Yuncheng even more flattered.

"How about I leave this matter to Aiqing?" Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, there were only a few people who could reassure Bai Yutian, and for a while there was no one available, so he could only point at Yuncheng.

Yuncheng smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I am bold enough to recommend someone to your Majesty to help me complete this matter."

"Oh, who is it?" Bai Yutian asked.

"Secretary of the Ministry of War, Yan Chong."

Bai Yutian frowned, recalling the previous memory in his mind. He had an impression of Yan Chong, the Minister of War.

This person is upright, an upright official, and he also has means, but his temper is too upright and he is stubborn.

He was very talented and capable of doing things. He could have taken over the position of prime minister after the previous prime minister died of illness.

However, because of his disagreement with Gu Taizhong, he was ostracized by Gu Taizhong, and as a result, he only became the minister of the Ministry of War.

This was because Yan Chong was once appreciated by the late emperor and was an old minister of the late emperor, with high prestige, so Gu Taizhong did not dare to be too presumptuous.
