The next day!
In the main hall.
Wu Zetian was reading the memorial when Shangguan Wan 'er slowly walked in.
"Empress!"
Wu Hou didn't even raise his head." What's the matter?”
"It's an urgent report from the Supreme Court Deputy Di Renjie!”
Wu Zetian raised her eyebrows." Bring it over!"”
Shangguan Wan 'er handed over the secret letter.
Wu Zetian took a few glances and her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
In the end, he simply threw the secret book on the table and scolded angrily,"A bunch of vermin!"
The surrounding maids were silent out of fear.
Only Shangguan Wan 'er frowned." Empress, please calm down. What's going on?"”
The sandalwood fragrance wafted.
Wu Zetian said coldly,"The tax money from Jinling was actually lost. Do these trash really think I'm an idiot?" Did he really lose it or did he keep it for himself? How audacious!”
She looked terrible. She had been busy these days. The weather was dry, and there was a drought in some areas. Bad news came one after another, and she lost her tax money again.
Did this group of officials really think that she was easy to bully? They were all sitting ducks. She did not know what they were doing!
Wu Zetian frowned and pondered. She picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter before handing it to Shangguan Wan 'er.
"Wan 'er, give this letter to Di Renjie," she said coldly."Now, I want to change my clothes and go find Yang Yi!”
.....
Yang Yi looked at Empress Wu in front of him and said guiltily,"Sister Wu, why are you here?"
He had just given his daughter a gift yesterday, and today, her mother had come running over.
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with giving a girl a gift, this was the Tang Empire, not the modern world. It seemed that he couldn't casually give a single girl a gift!
Especially when a man gave it to a woman.
At this moment, Yang Yi felt a little strange. No wonder Little Lady Li was so shy and timid yesterday. Could it be that she had misunderstood his meaning?
Did Wu Niangzi come here today to settle scores?
Did he accidentally hook up with someone else's daughter?
However, it seemed that the girl was pretty and had a good figure. Although her personality was a little hot, she was already married. Was he afraid that she would not listen?
Yang Yi imagined Taiping shyly and timidly in front of him, his clothes half-undone, coquettishly calling him husband. Immediately, he felt his head swell.
"I actually have something to ask you today!" Wu Zetian muttered.”
"I agree!" Yang Yi said.
Wu Zetian: "???"
Yang Yi coughed lightly." Sister Wu, what do you have to ask?”
Wu Zetian's mouth twitched," What if the servants at home don't do their work properly and like to gossip?”
In recent days, she had discovered that many officials were corrupt again. This was not surprising. No matter how wise the monarch was, he could not avoid such a situation.
Wu Zetian was mentally and physically exhausted. In the past, it was still fine before she was in power. Now, it could be considered that she was the one who decided. If such a situation happened to her subordinates, it would greatly affect their efficiency and economic losses.
However, he couldn't think of a good solution, so he could only come and ask Yang Yi.
Yang Yi heard Wu Zetian's words and muttered,"Big Sister Wu's family must have many shops. Big Sister Wu is worried about such a huge family business, it's indeed too busy for her to handle, she must make the best use of everything!”
"But it's hard to control people's hearts, and there are people who secretly accept bribes. What should we do?" Wu Zetian frowned.”
Yang Yi snapped his fingers." This kind of situation can't be stopped. Although Sister Wu is asking about her family, it's the same for the country.”
Wu Zetian's heart trembled." I'm willing to hear the details!"”
Yang Yi muttered," The three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court control the vast majority of the functions of the Great Tang. There are many officials among them, including those who are demoted to the lowest level. If they want to do something in the local areas, do you think the Two Sages will be able to detect it?”
Wu Zetian agreed. Actually, this was what she wanted to ask. However, due to her identity, she could only change the way she asked.
"Are these officials really so resourceful?" Yang Yi muttered. Have a wide network?"
