My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 1308
In the living room of Liu's house, Zeng Hai, the Chief Manager, looked pitifully at Qi Yun, who was equally troubled.

"Mrs. Huguo, please take pity on us. Don't embarrass us. Your Majesty really has something very urgent to summon Duke Ding. Just tell us, where did Duke Ding go?"

"It's been a few months since I went to court. Whether I'm resting at home or going to a distant place, there must be a place!"

Qi Yun is a first-class chaste lady who was personally awarded by Li Zheng to protect the country. Although Li Zheng has passed away, but the title of wife is here, even Zeng Hai, the chief executive, dare not put on airs in front of Qi Yun.

Otherwise, once word got out that the Censor Yanguan would go online and participate in the accusation of contempt for the late emperor, his position as chief executive would be over.

Zeng Hai knew better than anyone else that those eunuchs in the palace who saw him respectfully wanted to replace him and take his place.

I am not an ancestor, so I can let go of the position of chief executive without nostalgia to guard the spirit of the late emperor.

How many years have the ancestors been sitting, and how long have I been sitting? I haven't enjoyed this majestic seat enough, how can it be cheaper for others.

Therefore, even though Young Master Liu was not around, Zeng Hai could only smile cheerfully in front of Qi Yun.

His Majesty has a high opinion of Duke Ding, if others don't know that Zeng Hai is the personal chief executive, how can they not know.

I haven't been kicked by a donkey in my head, so why can't I think about going against others.

Even if you don't talk about the Duke, the first-rank wife of Huguo is not something that a mere fourth-rank chief executive can look down upon.

Qi Yun looked at Zeng Hai helplessly: "Chairman, it's not that my wife wants to embarrass you, my wife really doesn't know where your husband has gone."

"A few months ago, my husband changed his clothes and went out with a bag. No one else knows where he went except my husband!"

"My wife dared to ask, what happened to your majesty in such a hurry to summon my husband? After you tell my wife, I will immediately arrange for someone to find my husband and tell him the reason!"

"Only when you know that the matter is urgent, your husband will hurry back!"

Zeng Hai hesitated for a moment, looking at the maidservants standing around Qi Yun, hesitant to speak.

Qi Yun immediately understood, and waved to the maidservants: "You all step back first!"

"Yes, young lady!"

After the maids left, Zeng Hai sighed.

"At this point, let's not hide the truth from Madam Huguo!"

"Now that the spring tax is about to be collected from the national treasury, the Ministry of Household Affairs has already been ordered to start issuing notices to all the state capitals. Within three months, all state and county governments in Dalong Prefecture must hand over the tax revenue to the national treasury! "

"However, it has been two months now, and there are still more than 30 prefectures and more than 170 states and counties that have not yet handed over their taxes. There is a big gap in the national treasury that needs to be replenished."

"The officials from the Ministry of Households have all been distributed, but so far only seven prefectures have just paid their taxes!"

"Your Majesty and the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs are in a hurry!"

"You have to know that the north is about to leave, and a large amount of money, food, and grass are going out like running water. Once there is a problem with the national treasury, the whole dragon will be in turmoil."

"The Household Department, the Ministry of War is under the name of Ding Guogong, the auxiliary minister. Such a major incident in the Household Department is beyond the scope of Jiang Shangshu's handling. It must be done by Ding Guogong."

"The other four assistant ministers wrote to His Majesty, wanting to take over the affairs of Ding Guogong to supervise the household affairs, but Jiang Shangshu, except for Ding Guogong, the other four assistant ministers refused to recognize it!"

"Your Majesty's will, Jiang Shangshu, dare not refuse, but His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and has never encountered such an important event! I don't know how to deal with it to be perfect!"

"After thinking of several ways, Jiang Shangshu persuaded me to go back with good reason!"

"The orders of the other four auxiliary ministers were all set aside by Jiang Shangshu, and His Majesty has no other way, but to send Ding Guogong to the court!"

"Mrs. Huguo, we are not scaremongering. Once the taxes cannot be paid in full on time, there will be problems in the future Northern Expedition, such as the lack of food and grass supply, and the difficulty of continuing to pay!"

"The million soldiers of the Great Dragon that I sent north will all be in crisis!"

"It can be said that this matter has reached the time when it concerns the national system!"

"Your Majesty has discussed with the other four assistant ministers and the six ministers' imperial study rooms. They have already planned to use the emergency treasuries of various state capitals. First, fill up the hole in the treasury!"

"You know, Dalong only activated the emergency treasury twice after the first emperor reigned for ten years. His Majesty has just ascended the throne and is about to make an emergency response. If the news spreads, His Majesty's reputation among the people will be hit hard!"

"That's why His Majesty is so anxious to summon Duke Ding into the palace!"

"Let's see if Ding Guogong can deal with the taxation!"

"The most important thing is to find out why these 30-plus governments have not paid their taxes, and what happened!"

"Although Jiang Shangshu is dealing with this matter now, he can't get away at all. It's hard to do things with both hands!"

"If Duke Ding doesn't go to court, there will be chaos in the court!"

After hearing what Zeng Hai said, Qi Yun also knew that the matter had reached an extremely urgent situation.

But it's not that she doesn't want to tell Zeng Hai the whereabouts of her husband, but that she really doesn't know where he has gone.

The general direction is only known to be in the grassland, and herding sheep and horses has already explained the general direction of Yunxiaoxi.

But the grassland is so big, how does Qi Yun know where her husband has gone.

"Chairman, is there a problem with the food in the various state capitals, resulting in the inability to pay all taxes on time?"

"Your Majesty and Jiang Shangshu have considered this issue at first, but the memorials from various state capitals are all about the bumper harvest, but since it is a bumper harvest, it shouldn't be impossible to pay taxes!"

"Ouchi's guards are already on the way to investigate, and there should be a result within two days!"

Qi Yun pondered for a while: "Could it be that the officials of various state governments concealed the situation of food in order to show their political achievements?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. The matter of going north is still under the secret discussion of several important ministers, and the news has never been released. After all, the officials of various state capitals do not know that His Majesty intends to go north this year, let alone the tax payment. urgent!"

"If you really show your political achievements, insult your Majesty's youth, and conceal the output, you will be in big trouble!"

"It's useless to ransack his family and exterminate his family. The military affairs must not be delayed!"

Qi Yun'e frowned and looked at Zeng Hai: "Chief Manager, my wife understands, and will definitely send someone to look for your husband immediately, inform him of this, and let him return to Beijing as soon as possible!"

Zeng Hai looked at Qi Yun disappointedly: "Duke Ding is really not in the mansion?"

Qi Yun nodded solemnly: "It's really not here, the situation is serious, and the minister's wife doesn't dare to joke about it even if she has a few brains!"

"Okay, let's go back and report to His Majesty first, and see if we can hold on for a while!"

"Madam You Lao quickly informed Duke Ding that he is still in court! Let's take our leave first!"

"The minister's wife sends the chief manager off"

"Madam, please stay and take my leave!"

Looking at Zeng Hai's leaving figure, Qi Yun seemed to think of something, and her pretty eyes lit up: "Master, wait a minute!"

Zeng Hai hurriedly turned around and looked at Qi Yun expectantly: "Madam, did you think of where Duke Ding is going?"

"No, my wife remembered it. When the husband left, he left a bag of tips and said that if something happened, he would open the bag of tips!"

Zeng Hai looked at Qi Yun in surprise: "That's great, Mrs. Lao brought the kit!"

"The chief executive wait a moment, the women will fetch it now!"

After a while, Qi Yun ran out with a piece of rice paper in his hand.

"There is a way. My husband said that once there is a tax change, we can capture field birds from all over the country to verify whether the memorials of the state capitals are true, whether they show political achievements, and whitewash the peace!"

"As long as the Golden Palace inspects the birds, the truth will be revealed!"

Zeng Hai looked at Qi Yun blankly, with a sad expression on his face: "Test what?"

Qi Yun was startled, glared at Zeng Hai, and tossed the rice paper to Zeng Hai.

"Submit it to His Majesty, he will understand!"
