Ji Hao knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty was now strong and powerful.
However, the emptiness of the national treasury was a huge matter!
The Great Zhou Dynasty had ten provinces and was rich. There were less than two million taels of silver in the national treasury.
Why was this happening?
His heart was as clear as a mirror.
There were too many corrupt officials in this world!
Just a fifth grade assistant minister, He Shen, had embezzled more than thirty thousand taels of silver!
In addition, this Zhao Gao was cunning, so He Shen was probably greedy for more than this bit of silver.
Cao Zhengchun beat him to it." Your Majesty, the East Chamber has arrested 175 corrupt officials and seized a total of 2.3 million taels of silver! Li Lianying relied on the Empress Dowager's favor and embezzled more than one million taels of silver. However, this was a serious matter. It was related to the Empress Dowager, so the East Chamber could not do anything about it.”
Wei Zhongxian seized the opportunity and said," Your Majesty, the West Wing has arrested more than 187 corrupt officials and seized a total of 2,460,000 taels of silver! Not only could I not find Li Lianying's corruption, but I also found An Dehai. The two of them had embezzled a total of three million taels of silver. However, since it was related to the Empress Dowager, the West Hall did not act rashly.”
Bang!
Ji Hao slapped the table and stood up!
As a eunuch with a seal, Zhao Gao had only seized 80,000 taels of silver!
However, the total amount of dirty silver seized by the East and West Chambers amounted to more than five million taels!
This was not even counting the money that An Dehai and Li Lianying, the two eunuchs, had embezzled!
The two of them had embezzled more than three million taels of silver!
His crime was unforgivable!
"Cao Zhengchun, Wei Zhongxian, I order the two of you to quickly go to the Empress Dowager and arrest An Dehai and Li Lianying. Bring them out and tear them apart.”
"We obey your orders!"
Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian received the order and went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to capture the person.
Meanwhile, Liu Jin and Wang Zhen, who were standing beside Ji Hao, had already broken out in cold sweat, shivering in fear!
Li Lianying and An Dehai were favored by the Empress Dowager. They didn't even put Zhao Gao in their eyes.
His Majesty killed her just like that, not giving the Empress Dowager any face at all!
Not long after.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here.”
"I understand. All of you can leave.”
Ji Hao's eyes turned cold. The empress dowager was really here!
He knew why the Empress Dowager was here.
The Empress Dowager wanted to plead for Li Lianying and An Dehai!
The empress dowager came to Yangxin Palace Hall angrily.""Hao 'Er, Li Lianying and An Dehai are loyal and have served you for many years. They only like silver taels. You want to kill them because of this?”
Ji Hao raised his head and looked over, his eyes filled with killing intent,""Mother, this world is zhen's world, or mother's world!”
The empress dowager was shocked. For the first time, she felt fear when facing her son.
His gaze was filled with killing intent!
The imperial family was the most ruthless!
Even though Hao 'er was his son.
Although she is the Empress Dowager, she is the mother of the world, and the four seas are respected.
But he couldn't interfere in politics!
The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. This was a rule set by the founding emperor of Great Zhou, Ji Xuanyuan!
The Empress Dowager was frightened and quickly said softly,""Mother knows her mistake. Emperor, if you want to kill An Dehai and Li Lianying, then kill them.”
"This An De Hai and Li Lian Ying have embezzled a total of three million taels of silver, which is already more than the amount of silver in the national treasury!”
"If I don't kill them, even if these people continue to be corrupt, in time, they will die.”
"My Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely collapse!”
"At that time, the Empress Dowager and I will probably become prisoners!”
"Zhen doesn't want to kill Li Lianying and An Dehai, Zhen wants to kill this unhealthy trend!”
"To correct injustice, one must be too righteous!"
"If I don't kill people, one day, someone will come to kill me!”
"I hope mother can understand."
"The lychees in the south are already ripe. Zhen ordered someone to send some over. This thing can nourish yin and qi. Mother can eat a few more.”
Ji Hao's words woke the empress dowager up.
The Empress Dowager came from a prestigious family and was well-read. She naturally understood the truth of corrupt officials destroying the country!
The empress dowager's eyes were moist. Her Hao 'er had finally grown up."I understand. You are a good emperor. I understand that the harem cannot interfere in politics. In the future, I will not interfere in the matters of the court.”
Ji Hao didn't need to explain so much to the empress dowager.
However, the empress dowager was his mother, after all. Ji Hao had killed the empress dowager's trusted subordinate.
If the Empress Dowager didn't ask, then so be it.
Since the Empress Dowager had asked about this matter, she still had to give an explanation.
Otherwise, if there was a gap between mother and son, how could they govern the Great Zhou Empire and make it last forever!
The empress dowager used to think that Ji Hao wasn't suitable to be an emperor.
However, today, he witnessed Ji Hao's thunderous power.
Even his father was inferior!
There was hope for the Great Zhou!
The Ji Family had hope!
Hao 'er!
You are now the emperor!
As the mother, I will definitely pass on the fine tradition of not interfering in politics in the harem.
He would definitely not disappoint the late emperor!
Emperor, our Hao 'er has grown up!
The Empress Dowager returned to her chambers.
An Dehai and Li Lianying knelt down and begged for mercy. Beside them stood Wei Zhongxian and Cao Zhengchun, as well as the Eagle Claws of the two factories."Empress Dowager, save me! Empress Dowager, save me!"
"Wei Zhongxian, Cao Zhengchun."
"Your subject is here!"
"An Dehai and Li Lianying, you two are foxes using the tiger's might and dogs abusing others 'power. Your crimes are unforgivable, take them away.”
"Respected Empress Dowager's decree!"
"Take him away!"
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Empress Dowager, save me!"
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Empress Dowager, save me!"
An Dehai and Li Lianying never expected that even the Empress Dowager was unwilling to protect them.
The car cracked!
Seize the family property!
Exterminate three clans!
An Dehai and Li Lianying were filled with regret when they thought of such a miserable death.
However, it was too late!
An Dehai and Li Lianying collapsed to the ground, scared witless!
The eagle claws of the east and west factories had already dragged the two of them away.
……
In the Yuan Ba Hall, Cao Zhengchun felt extremely complicated."Your Majesty, An Dehai and Li Lianying have already been torn apart at the Meridian Gate! In total, they seized more than three million taels of Tibetan silver, plus the two million taels that Zhao Gao seized. During this period of time, they had seized a total of 10,720,688 taels of Tibetan silver!”
Wei Zhongxian was once again taken credit by Cao Zhengchun. How hateful!
At this moment, Ji Hao's face was filled with anger. He didn't feel any pleasure at all because of the ten million silvers.
These corrupt officials!
He was actually so greedy!
There were only two million taels of silver in the national treasury!
He had only ordered the East and West Factories to investigate the matter of corruption, but they had actually seized five times more dirty silver than the national treasury!
This made Ji Hao extremely furious!
Furious!
Furious!
Furious!
Ji Hao was enraged!
"Investigate, continue investigating!"
"Get to the bottom of it!"
"From the royal family to the petty officials, investigate everything!”
"I want corrupt officials to have nowhere to hide!”
At this moment, Ji Hao was truly enraged!
Corrupted and destroyed the country!
If these corrupt officials were not severely punished!
The Great Zhou Empire would probably be buried in his hands.
Ji Hao had only been the emperor of Great Zhou for a few days. How could he allow these corrupt officials to ruin the Great Zhou Empire?
