Yan'er can't move anymore. She is a serious and innocent woman. It was her first time last night, so how could she bear Qin Yun.
"You don't have to wait to change clothes. I grant you the privilege of not having to do anything these days and have a good rest." Qin Yun was quite concerned and gave some domineering orders.
Yan'er nodded flattered, her hair spread over her white and fragrant shoulders. She was more beautiful than yesterday, no longer so green, but full of mature charm.
She curled up in the quilt, was obedient and sensible, and obeyed Qin Yun's words.
Afterwards, the itchy Qin Yun had simple pleasures with her again. After he was satisfied, he let the maids come in to help her dress and make up.
Yan'er, the concubine's personal maid, suddenly transformed into the object of fawning among all the palace maids.
According to the usual practice, Qin Yun does not have to go to court early today.
He came to the imperial study room feeling refreshed and feeling windy even as he walked.
In the last life, it was not easy to find a clean woman, and it was even more difficult to find an original one, but he could clearly see the red color on the quilt last night.
All men understand this sense of accomplishment.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Guo Ziyun Guo wants to see you." Eunuch Xi lowered his head and said close to Qin Yun's ear.
"Guo Ziyun?"
Qin Yun looked quite surprised: "You came so early?"
Eunuch Xi smiled and said, "To report to Your Majesty, Mr. Guo entered the palace at dawn and had been waiting outside. My servants advised him to come back later, but Mr. Guo refused to listen and said that he had something to report."
It was probably about disaster relief and corruption investigation. Qin Yun immediately said: "Go and invite Mr. Guo in!"
"Yes!" Xi Gongzheng said.
After a while, Guo Ziyun entered the imperial study and brought several volumes with him.
He was given a pear blossom chair, and Qin Yun specially ordered someone to give him a cup of tea.
Guo Ziyun, an old guy, is also an honest type. He kneels on the ground to thank him endlessly.
"Your Majesty, the money and food are already on the way. They will be escorted by the Ministry of War and will arrive in Guanzhong in one day. It will be enough to solve the urgent need."
Qin Yun nodded. He knew this from reading the memorial earlier: "Master Guo, your hard work has been great. I will reward you when the disaster in Guanzhong is over."
Guo Ziyun stood up and bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Qin Yun was speechless. He really couldn't stand others kneeling to him all the time. He bowed his head and it was very tiring to help him up.
"Your Majesty, there is one more important thing." Guo Ziyun said, holding the file with both hands.
Qin Yun's eyes lit up, the main event was coming.
"These three volumes are some treasury records that Wei Chen secretly investigated in the name of disaster relief. More than half of the expenditures are so outrageous that they are even unbelievable," Guo Ziyun said with a serious face.
Qin Yun took the file, opened it and took a closer look.
It is clearly marked on it, including the expenditure, time and use of the money.
For example, on New Year's Eve last year, the emperor hosted a banquet to entertain the ministers, and the expenditure for food and drink was as high as 7,000 taels of silver.
Another example is the renovation of the Moon Tower in the Imperial Garden, which cost ten thousand taels of silver.
"Grass!"
Qin Yun uttered a curse word, "Here and there are unbelievable expenses, this is just to treat others as fools!"
Can I use 7,000 taels for a New Year’s Eve dinner?
If we all drink deer blood and eat gold, we won’t need so much, right?
How many ministers are there? The most people who can enter the palace to eat are less than one or two hundred, right?
Also, spending ten thousand taels of silver to repair an attic would still feel outrageous even if Qin Yun didn't know much about prices in Daxia!
There are specialized workers for the renovation of the palace, and many stone and wood materials do not need to be spent at all. So where did the ten thousand taels go?
I guess just building a few more Moon-watching Towers would be enough, right?
"Check, check for me!"
"Who handled all this money?" Qin Yun's face turned ugly, and his body trembled slightly!
A minister who eats royal food and receives a salary is not satisfied in the end, but also cheats the court and engages in corruption. This is something he cannot accept.
Guo Ziyun said: "Your Majesty, I don't know about this minor minister. After all, the minor minister does not have such great authority."
"But what is certain is that it is the Ministry of Accounts that allocates money. If such an outrageous amount of money is allocated, the Ministry of Accounts cannot escape its involvement!"
Qin Yun became angry and shouted: "Xishun!"
Grandpa Xi immediately ran over and knelt down.
"Go! Go outside the palace and call me Wang Wei, the Minister of Household Affairs!"
"Yes!" Eunuch Xi was furious when he saw His Majesty Long Yan, and he did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately took the command, a team of chariots, horses and the imperial army to invite people.
It's approaching noon.
Wang Wei has arrived.
He came to the imperial study room and saw Guo Ziyun, his eyes lingering for a moment.
Then he knelt down and said, "I have met Your Majesty."
Qin Yun was drinking iced sour plum soup. He put down the small white bowl with lace and said with an unhappy expression: "Wang Aiqing, take a look at this."
Grandpa Xi handed over the dossier.
Wang Wei frowned and looked suspicious. He picked up the file and looked at it. All the records in it were densely packed with treasury expenditures.
At that moment, he understood instantly.
His eyes glanced at Guo Ziyun inadvertently, with such a hint of evil, how dare someone dare to snitch on him in the court today!
"Your Majesty, this is unfair!"
He immediately showed his grievance, complained repeatedly, and knelt down.
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It's unfair. Why is it wrong? Is it possible that the record above is wrong?"
Wang Wei cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the expenses recorded in this file are true, and there are indeed these things, but the veteran has definitely not embezzled the national treasury and enriched his own pockets!"
"The money has indeed been spent. For the renovation of Wangyue Tower, Your Majesty said at the beginning that Tengjin Stone and Agate from the Western Regions must be used. These two items were purchased from outside, and it cost a lot of money."
"And last year on New Year's Eve, we hosted a banquet for all the ministers. You looked at all the expenses and nodded. Even you thought it was too shabby, so you had people buy a lot of delicacies, enough to make up a thousand dishes for the table, which means that the great summer will last forever.
"
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment. When he thought of his predecessor, he felt that this guy could do such a thing.
Guo Ziyun's expression is also a little strange. Does His Majesty know about this?
"Even so, your Ministry of Household Affairs is not doing its job, right? You actually allocate funds for such a large expenditure?"
"What if one day the treasury cannot allocate money?" Qin Yun said calmly.
Wang Wei put his forehead to the ground and replied seamlessly: "The world belongs to your Majesty, what's wrong with your Majesty wanting to use some money?"
"Don't talk about a few thousand taels of silver. As long as your majesty asks for it, even if it's tens of millions of taels of silver, the old minister will do it!"
The voice is impassioned and deafening!
Qin Yun was stunned when he heard this.
This old fox shows his loyalty!
It’s hard to deal with! He cursed in his mind.
Guo Ziyun's eyes were a little helpless. Qin Yun had indeed nodded in agreement to many of the ridiculous things in the past. It was extremely difficult to investigate corruption, so we couldn't investigate His Majesty as well.
After all, Qin Yun has to bear the main responsibility.
After saying this, Wang Wei turned his gun around with a sly and witty attitude, and turned back Qin Yun's army.
"Your Majesty, I have always been loyal and loyal. I don't know where your Majesty heard the rumors. Someone actually slandered my loyalty to your Majesty!"
"This file was copied. Could it be that someone from the Ministry of Revenue reported it?"
Wang Wei glanced at Guo Ziyun aside, and said with deep meaning: "If you are not from the Ministry of Husbandry, then bringing this file out will violate the laws of Daxia!"
"If you're guilty, you should be put in a prison!"
