Ren Wenyue knelt down in his seat, looking at He Zhang and the other five people who were slumped on the ground and shivering, and at Young Master Liu who kept wandering around the hall, with an unnatural look on his face.
When he heard Young Master Liu's words again, Ren Wenyue's shining eyes already had a hint of panic.
In addition to the five people from He Zhang, a quarter of the officials in the palace also began to feel cramped, as if there were thorns under their buttocks. Their eyes were fixed on the Chao Hut in their hands, and they did not dare to go to He Zhang and the others.
Most of the officials in the palace stared dumbly at He Zhang and the others who fell to the ground, especially Tong Sansi and the other five ministers and the ministers of the nine major temples.
Looking at He Zhang and the other five, and then at Young Master Liu who was constantly turning, his mind began to recall the words that Young Master Liu had just said.
After a long time, many people looked at me with astonishment. No wonder there were no problems no matter how I checked the accounts. It turned out that there was such a big loophole hidden in the middle.
Many people had a look of shame on their faces when they thought of how they and others had gone over the accounts several times over the past few months without finding any problems, and yet Young Master Liu had found out the problems in half a day.
However, they carefully recalled the messy accounts, and the shame in their hearts gradually diminished.
The accounts were in such a mess that everyone was focused on the amount of money, fearing that if they accidentally made a mistake, they would have no time to consider other issues.
It can only be said that these people's accounting methods are really very clever.
Not everyone has as superb a method of settling accounts as King Bingjian.
Several people even doubted that even if Jiang Yuanming, the former Secretary of the Ministry of Accounts, who had been in charge of the Ministry of Accounts for decades, came back, he would have one head and two heads to calculate the accounts. He would concentrate on calculating the amount of money and ignore the hidden things in the accounts.
loopholes.
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and rubbed his cheek, then stopped in front of He Zhang and the other five.
"I think that with your appetite, you will definitely not be able to eat so much silver."
"But if you can't eat it, it doesn't mean that others can't eat it either."
"Otherwise, how can we call it a big fish? The appetite of a big fish is naturally larger."
"By the way, what else can I say? I, the king, think about it!"
"The belly of a prime minister can hold a boat. Although some people are not prime ministers, their belly is not necessarily much smaller than that of prime ministers. So who is this person?"
"Ouch..."
Young Master Liu turned to look at Li Baihong: "Second brother, you are the current prince and a relative of the Li family. Your belly should not be much smaller than Tong Xiang's."
"There is also the fourth brother King Jing and the fifth brother King Yun. You must have quite a lot of belly."
The three brothers were watching Young Master Liu talking about settling accounts with great interest. Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly turned to themselves. Looking at Young Master Liu with narrow eyes, the three brothers hurriedly waved their hands.
"Brother-in-law, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
"That's right, brother-in-law, don't look down on us. The three of us don't have the guts to do so."
"My little brother is crazy. That's the money used to repair my father's imperial mausoleum. How dare I reach out to a place like that when I have nothing to do?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded cheerfully: "Yes, although you three are not good characters, you still have filial piety. How could you extend your hands to such a place?"
"But just because you don't dare, doesn't mean that some people don't dare."
Liu Mingzhi took out the last piece of rice paper in his hand, shook it, and turned his gaze to Ren Wenyue: "The Ministry of Hubu...oh...I made a slip of the tongue, Mr. Ren Wenyue, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, what did you say?
Right?"
Ren Wenyue's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his eyes to look at Young Master Liu, whose corners of his mouth were slightly raised and his eyes were somewhat dark. He breathed out gently, and looked at Young Master Liu with slightly narrowed eyes.
"What does this mean, King Side by Side?"
"Could it be that the big fish that King Bingjian refers to is a low-ranking official?"
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows, clapped his rice paper and applauded Ren Wenyue, looking around at the civil and military officials in the palace with a smile.
"Look, look, what is enlightenment? This is called enlightenment."
"I have just pointed out a few words, and Ren Guozhang has already understood the profound meaning of my intention."
"If not, Ren Guozhang is a pillar of the imperial court! This self-conscious ability is simply a role model for us."
"I admire you, I admire you very much."
"you............"
Ren Wenyue looked at Young Master Liu with a stiff face: "King Bingjian, I respect your status, so please don't bully others too much."
"Although the expenses for repairing the imperial mausoleum are handled by the lower officials, the lower officials are also busy with the following matters and have no time to cover everything. They handle everything by themselves, no matter how big or small."
"There may be some problems in the accounts, but that doesn't mean it was ordered by the subordinate."
"There is no real evidence. Is it too overbearing for King Bingjian to determine the official's crime based on mere assumptions?"
"King Bingjian is so domineering, I will definitely write a copy of you in front of the Holy Master."
"Ren Guozhang, please calm down. When did I say that Ren Guozhang was the person behind the scenes?"
"You also said that there is no real evidence and it is just my conjecture. Can Ren Guozhang completely refute this matter without evidence? Why are you so angry?"
"As for who is the instigator behind the scenes, doesn't it still need to be verified?"
"Master Ren, please don't be angry. Although we have no evidence, but..."
Young Master Liu smiled crookedly at He Zhang and the other five people: "We don't have evidence, but there are witnesses. Isn't it only a matter of time before we get evidence?"
Ren Wenyue was startled, glanced at He Zhang and the other five, his pupils shrank deeply, and the panic deep inside was clearly visible.
Young Master Liu chuckled, folded the rice paper in his hand and walked towards Ren Wenyue.
"Well, how does Ren Guozhang know that I have no real evidence in my hands?"
Ren Wenyue looked at Young Master Liu's profound eyes, and felt more and more uneasy in his heart. He kept looking at the last piece of rice paper in Young Master Liu's hand, wishing he could snatch it away immediately and read the contents on it.
Liu Mingzhi straightened up and looked behind him.
"Huo Changzheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Zhuo Jinzhuo, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Qiu Zhongqiu, the young minister of the Taipu Temple, and General Lu Xunshan, the left captain of the patrol department."
"I think it's time for you to come out and say something."
"Did eight hundred and seventy thousand taels of silver wear out your tongue?"
"How about I give you some treatment?"
As Young Master Liu named the four officials again, there was a brief uproar in the palace, and Ren Wenyue's face gradually turned pale.
Liu Mingzhi threw the rice paper in his hand directly in front of Ren Wenyue, and turned to look at Ye Kaiming, the Minister of Punishment, Ding Jian, the minister of Dali Temple, and Xia Gongming, the imperial censor.
"Mr. Ye from the Criminal Department, Mr. Ding from Dali Temple, and Mr. Xia from the imperial censor, I don't know how to deal with the embezzlement of more than 5,000 taels of silver according to our Dalong regulations."
The three of them were startled and glanced at He Zhang and the others hesitantly.
"Once the evidence is conclusive, he will be detained in prison, and he will be interrogated and executed in the future."
"What about ten thousand taels?"
“Homes were confiscated, wives, children, old and young were sent to the frontiers, and the culprits were executed.”
"What about more than one hundred thousand taels?"
"Should the Nine Clans be killed?"
"This... Your Majesty, your Majesty has abolished the torture method of Yi San Zhu Jiu."
"I almost forgot about this. My father is indeed an unparalleled hero and one of the few wise kings."
"However, for such a wise king, there are still people who dare to take money from Mo to repair the imperial mausoleum for him. If my father has a spirit in the sky and a knowledge under the spring, I wonder if he will climb out of the coffin to see his good ministers."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Ren Wenyue, who looked pale after reading the piece of rice paper he threw to him, and smiled coldly.
"Ren Guozhang, if you have any grievances, go to Zhao Prison to redress your grievances. The Sanfa Division will give you justice."
"Where are the Imperial Guards? Why haven't we captured this rebellious person?"
The guards stationed outside the palace were stunned for a moment and looked at each other in confusion, wondering whether they should arrest Ren Wenyue and others.
Ren Wenyue was startled, then came to his senses and hurriedly stood up.
"King Bingjian, although you have a high and powerful position, you are only a minister of my dragon. You have no right to instruct the Three Law Divisions."
"Besides, these charges have not been confirmed, and you have no right to detain the officials and others."
"Even if the charge is confirmed, your command of the Imperial Guards is a crime of overstepping the rules. You are the real traitor and traitor."
Liu Mingzhi crossed his hands and punched the roof, looking at Ren Wenyue quietly and smiling.
"Then, how about Sir Ren, acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and cooperating with me, the auxiliary minister who controls the powers of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War, to investigate the case of embezzlement of ink in the imperial mausoleum?"
"Don't say that you are just acting as the Minister of Household Affairs, but you are the real Minister of Household Affairs. I also have the right to investigate if I want."
"This is the right granted to me by the late Emperor Ruizong. If you don't agree with it, you can go to the imperial mausoleum and complain to your father."
"Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu, listen to the order!"
"The end will be here."
"Detain him on the spot and escort him to Zhao Prison to await trial."
"I'll wait..."
"Stop, I am here, no one dares to be arrogant in the palace."
Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu and others were about to take action when a light and sweet voice came, breaking the noise in the palace.
Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and turned around in surprise to look at the position of Longtai.
Standing on the dragon platform that was empty just now was a beautiful lady in her 28s, a group of palace maids, and Su An, the chief steward holding a whisk.
The twenty-eight beauties standing at the top are extremely beautiful, with dazzling jade features and slender eyebrows, graceful and graceful figure, delicate and charming.
The twenty-eight-year-old beauty looked at the situation in the palace quietly, her eyebrows were pale and her eyes were filled with autumn water.
The cherry red lips are slightly open, and the two rows of white teeth are as smooth and bright as broken jade.
The delicate and straight nose, coupled with the shallow dimples, adds a certain charm to this face.
Her hair was tied up, exposing her fat neck, and the golden hairpin on her phoenix head was slightly swaying. Standing on the dragon platform, her phoenix eyes looked faintly, revealing her elegance and grace, and her noble temperament that would captivate a country.
Coupled with a decent phoenix robe, it sets off the beauty's exquisite figure, which all shows the identity of this twenty-eight beauty.
Ren Qingrui, the empress of the current dynasty who is the mother of the world.
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and looked at Ren Qingrui in amazement.
Over the years, except for the beautiful and fragrant Queen Wanyan, Young Master Liu had to admit that he had never seen a more beautiful and outstanding human being than Ren Qingrui.
In addition to the Queen, beauties such as Qi Yun and Qi Ya also had to be inferior in front of Ren Qingrui.
There are probably only a handful of women in the world who are more outstanding than Ren Qingrui.
The rumors were indeed true, the empress of the dynasty was indeed so charming and beautiful that she looked as if she had descended from heaven to earth!
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and breathed out gently.
Hua was so moving in 2008, and it will be like this again in the future.
At this moment, he vaguely understood why Li Ye was obsessed with beauty and had not come to court for so long.
If I were the same age as Li Ye, fifteen, sixty or seven years old, and had such a beauty, I might not be much better than Li Ye, and I might be even more stupid than him.
But understanding does not mean approval.
Li Ye's identity dictates that he cannot abandon his great career for the sake of beauty.
Liu Mingzhi walked slowly to the center of the hall, raised the Chao Hut in his hand and saluted.
