"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll go now!" Dai Zhou's face was filled with fear and trepidation as he retreated.
At this moment, Li Shiming was already furious. He didn't expect these people to be so bold. Not only did they take the money from the disaster relief in Wannian County, but they didn't even let go of the money in the national treasury. They were worse than animals!
On the other side, Dai Zhou left Taiji Palace and went straight to the Ministry of Revenue. After choosing a few trusted aides, he began to check carefully, including every expenditure and income.
Looking at the account book in front of him, Dai Zhou was sweating profusely. At the same time, he was also furious.
He never expected that there would be so many people involved in this matter, and the amount of money embezzled was really huge!
The atmosphere in the Ministry of Revenue was particularly depressing. Seeing so much money being embezzled from the national treasury right under their noses, all the officials were furious and gnashed their teeth.
After spending a day, Dai Zhou and the other officials finally checked all the accounts before sunset.
"Minister Dai, these are the names of the officials involved in this corruption. Please take a look.”
"Minister Dai, this is the amount of money embezzled. Please take a look.”
Everyone handed over the account books that they had sorted out to Dai Zhou, and all of them had ugly expressions.
Dai Zhou flipped through it, and the more he read, the angrier he became. In the end, he closed the account book."You've worked hard. Go back and rest. I'll head to Taiji Palace now.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
At this moment, in Taiji Palace.
Looking at the account book that Dai Zhou handed over, Li Shiming was furious. The more he flipped through, the angrier he became.
Dai Zhou, who was standing below, felt Li Shi Min's oppressive aura, and his heart was filled with fear.
After all, the fake accounts in the national treasury were ultimately due to his dereliction of duty, and he could not shirk his responsibility.
Finally, Li Shiming finished reading all the accounts.
" Your Majesty, there are more than 20 people involved in this matter, including the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and all the officials in Chang 'an.”
"The amount of money embezzled was fourteen million strings of silver, while the Great Tang's treasury only collected thirteen million strings of silver. These people took half of the treasury's silver!”
Dai Zhou said carefully, his heart filled with anger.
Li Shi Min was trembling with anger. He never thought that these corrupt officials would be so bold as to take half of the national treasury!
Li Shi Min thought of this and his heart burned with anger. He gritted his teeth and said,"Investigate, investigate all of them. After you find out, cut off all of them that can be cut off. If they can't be cut off, make them spit out the silver and settle the score together in the future!”
These people couldn't be killed directly, and there were many people that Li Shi Min couldn't touch.
These people were deeply rooted in the imperial court and had their own small forces.
Although he would not settle the score now, he would definitely get it back in the future.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dai Zhou nodded repeatedly and turned around to leave.
Suddenly, Li Shi Min looked at Dai Zhou and asked,""By the way, how did you find out about this?”
"Your Majesty, this matter could actually be investigated clearly thanks to Fangxian Nan's method. Otherwise, this minister would not have been able to investigate so clearly.”
Dai Zhou lowered his head and said in shame. He, the Minister of Revenue, was actually inferior to a young man.
Li Shi Min was slightly surprised, but he quickly calmed down.
If it was Fang Yi 'ai's idea, then it was normal.
Li Shi Min calmed down a little.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Fangxian is a rare talent. If he can come to my Ministry of Revenue, I will definitely teach him everything.”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min sneered in his heart.
He even taught her everything.
Don't think that you're very powerful just because you've been in the Ministry of Revenue for so long. In fact, don't you still need Fang Yi 'ai to help you settle this?
If it wasn't for Fang Yi 'ai, you would probably still be in the dark.
"Alright, you can go down first. Do what zhen has instructed you to do.”Li Shi Min said casually.
When Dai Zhou heard this, although he still wanted to struggle a little more, he still bade farewell and left after seeing Li Shimin's expression.
Li Shiming looked at the account book and felt that Fang Yiai was a rare talent. He must share this happy thing with Empress Zhangsun.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately set up a government hall.
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun was embroidering a vesicle. She could hear Li Shiming's hearty laughter from afar.
Empress Zhangsun stood up immediately. As soon as she got up, Li Shimin walked in.
"ChenQie pays her respects to His Majesty. What's wrong with you? Why didn't he inform His Majesty that he was here?”
"Guanyin maidservant, don't blame them. It was zhen who told them not to report.”
"I see. Why is Your Majesty so happy today?”Empress Zhangsun smiled like a flower.
Ever since the plague in Wannian County, the smile on Li Shiming's face had gradually decreased. However, he was so happy today, which made her feel a little strange.
Li Shi Min sat down, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile,
"Fang Yi 'ai saw that the national treasury account book had been faked and helped Dai Zhou find out everything. She destroyed the worms that ate the country for zhen, how can zhen not be happy?”
"What is it? Fang Yi 'ai is so powerful?"
After Empress Zhangsun heard this, her face was filled with shock.
Fang Yi 'ai had brought him too many surprises and shocks.
Not only did he have medical skills, but he also went to Wannian County alone and cured small-flower. Now, he even found out about the corruption of the national treasury.
At the same time, Empress Zhangsun also felt a little regretful.
He didn't expect Fang Yi 'ai to be so outstanding and capable, he was definitely the head of the talents.
She had actually pushed him out with her own hands, which made Empress Zhangsun regret it too late.
If he had known that Fang Yiai was so outstanding, he would not have objected when Li Shimin wanted to marry Li Lizhi to Fang Yiai.
Seeing Fang Yiai become more and more outstanding, Empress Zhangsun suddenly felt that Zhangsun Chong was not up to standard. He was not even one percent of Fang Yiai.
However, Princess Xiang Cheng was already married to Fang Yi 'ai, so it was useless for Empress Zhangsun to regret it.
