"Ling Yue can't do it, and Yan still has to work day and night, using hard and soft tactics to dig into Chu Junliang's corner."
Zhao Yanxin said don't do this, he didn't want to hang himself from a tree, so he quickly said that there were still important things to do.
The empress is not a woman who is greedy for pleasure, and she also has the country and the country in her heart.
Naturally, Zhao Yan's ideas hit it off.
"Okay, I fully support it."
Jiang Lingyue said happily.
"Ling Yue, you can't always say support verbally. What Yan needs most is the support of hard currency."
Zhao Yan is also miserable because of the money. What are you going to do that doesn't require activity funds?
Now Qinglong's brothers will run away when they see Zhao Yan, let alone protect him personally.
"My aunt, the government's fiscal deficit is serious now, and you are not unaware of the fact that Yin eats a lot of food. Nowadays, the salary of the courtiers has been paid in advance by the monthly taxes of the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. You should share my worries instead of asking for money."
Jiang Lingyue curled her lips, she was the real master of free prostitution.
"Okay, then the inflammation will resolve itself."
Zhao Yanxin said how he became an escort who ate and slept with her and worked for nothing.
In desperation, Zhao Yan looked at the roster given to him by Cheap Daddy.
In addition to the names of guilty ministers and traitors, it also contains the dirty things they have done.
It can be said that every item taken out is enough to make them drink a pot of it.
After tossing and turning, Zhao Yan focused on Zuo Qianqiu.
This person seems upright and upright, but in fact he is a deeply hidden drug addict.
In addition to secretly colluding with the King of Conquest of the West, he also used his status as Minister of War to deduct a large amount of military pay.
So much so that they almost forced the border soldiers guarding the northern border to rebel.
Cheap Daddy is also a member of King Zhengxi’s camp, so naturally he knows everything about it.
What makes Zhao Yan even more angry is that not long ago, Zuo Qianqiu cooperated with Lu Chaoyong to severely deceive Zhao Yan.
The two played a duet, and their double act even deceived everyone in the officialdom.
Everyone thought that Zuo Qianqiu was a good old man who was weak and suffered a lot.
Aren't you a member of King Zhengxi? OK, I won't provoke King Zhengxi, but that doesn't mean I won't mess with you and I will make a fuss about your embezzlement of military pay.
Zhao Yan made up his mind, and the next day, the ministers lined up on both sides of the court.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Zhao Yan said nonsense seriously.
"If you have anything to do with me, please just tell me."
Jiang Lingyue agreed, but her eyes fell on Chu Junliang.
This made the cunning old thief look like a thorn in his back, and his cunning eyes were wandering around.
He looked at Zhao Yan suspiciously.
He said in his heart that I did not join the campaign against the King of the West because the time was not yet ripe. As for interceding for your father, I always feel that Zhao Yan did not do enough.
Purple cloth dyeing has indeed made Chu Junliang a lot of money, but in terms of income and expenditure, I always feel that the Zhao family will not be of the same mind as him, and releasing Zhao Tianming will be a threat to Chu Junliang.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Junliang decided to pretend to be dumbfounded and turned a blind eye to the empress' gaze, drooping his eyelids as if he was asleep due to his age.
"Your Majesty, I have reported that Zuo Qianqiu, the minister of the Ministry of War, has embezzled one hundred thousand taels of silver from the soldiers who defended Northern Xinjiang. Please Your Majesty, please bring Zuo Qianqiu to justice to serve as a warning to others."
Zhao Yan said calmly.
"Your Majesty, I am not guilty, but I am unjust."
When Zuo Qianqiu heard that Zhao Yan was publicly impeaching him, his first reaction was to cry out for injustice.
Huh? What a chance.
It turns out he wasn't asking for mercy from his father.
The old fox Chu Junliang immediately captured the key information.
That is, no matter what Zhao Yan's purpose is, whether it is to retaliate against King Zhengxi's feathers or to embezzle one hundred thousand military pay, Chu Junliang will have to get involved.
Because attacking Zuo Qianqiu is in his interest, Chu Junliang.
King Zhengxi was the highest military officer in the Western Regions, so most of the people who colluded with him were also people from the Ministry of War.
This made it difficult for Taishi Ling Chu Junliang, who had never been involved in the Ministry of War, and was always looking for opportunities to add his wings.
Now the opportunity has come. Once the Minister of War is captured, a vacancy will be created. After moving Zuo Qianqiu down, he will naturally benefit from the strength of the Chu army.
After figuring this out, Chu Junliang immediately went out to play in class.
"You are brave Zuo Qianqiu, and you dare to roar at the Golden Palace. The crime will be increased to one level. I, Chu Junliang, second my opinion."
Although he doesn't have any real evidence against Zuo Qianqiu, he can still give you Zhao Yan a little pat on the back.
Chu Junliang made his attitude clear. Almost all his disciples and former officials came out of work and knelt down in large groups, all of whom agreed.
It feels like a wall is being pushed down by everyone.
Zuo Qianqiu was stunned. How could the good-guy persona he had worked so hard to build collapse in the blink of an eye.
And it seems to have been backlashed, with almost everyone accusing him of committing an unforgivable crime.
This is what everyone says is worth the effort. Zhao Yan has long understood this truth and is sure that the old fox will not take action easily.
But as long as you give him a little benefit, the old cat who smells the fishy smell will also be fooled.
The Zhengxi King's party originally wanted to speak for Zuo Qianqiu, but he hid it so deeply that those people didn't know which side Zuo Qianqiu was on.
In other words, he is just a middle-of-the-road person, and no one will take the risk of offending the empress and the country's concubine by siding with him.
Zuo Qianqiu was left alone and helpless for a while, unable to speak out.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged."
Zuo Qianqiu could only cry out for injustice and prove his innocence.
"Whether you have been wronged or not will be determined at the first trial. Zhao Yan, I canonize you as the censor of the investigation envoy to thoroughly investigate the case of Zuo Qianqiu's embezzlement of military pay."
Jiang Lingyue would not give Zuo Qianqiu a chance to overturn the verdict.
Trying a case behind closed doors is much more reliable than a three-division trial.
At least Zhao Yan would not lie to her.
Chu Junliang helped Zhao Yan and smiled meaningfully at Zhao Yan.
The meaning is self-evident. The old man who should help you has already done his best to help you. We don't owe each other anything.
'Old fox, I'll clean you up sooner or later.'
Zhao Yan secretly said, but a grateful smile appeared on his face.
He seemed very satisfied with Chu Junliang's generous help.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Yan immediately interrogated Zuo Qianqiu, the Minister of War.
In fact, Zhao Yan also knew that the cheap dad only told him verbally that Zuo Qianqiu had embezzled 100,000 taels of military pay, but there was no conclusive evidence.
The empress was able to take down Zuo Qianqiu, not because Zuo Qianqiu was not tough, but because Chu Junliang was too tough.
If the person who rallied to attack him was Zhao Yan, even the empress would be helpless.
That's why Zhao Yan didn't interrogate him in the lobby.
Zuo Qianqiu was curious as to why he was brought into the palace.
Does Your Majesty want to pardon him?
As soon as he walked into the back garden, Zuo Qianqiu saw a big pot roasting on the fire.
The hot soup in the urn has already sprayed out.
"Master Zuo came just in time. Yan Lue has prepared some wine, but there is a lack of food to go with the wine."
Zhao Yan said with a naive smile.
"Qianqiu is not guilty, please let me know the truth clearly."
Zhao Yan knew that Zuo Qianqiu's melancholy character would definitely lead to this trick.
"Okay, since Mr. Zuo is stubborn, let's give Mr. Zuo a ride."
As he said that, Zuo Qianqiu was picked up by the warrior and walked towards the big urn.
