Chapter 149 Prince Ren Shan
Is Xiao Huayong gentle?

He also thinks he is gentle.

He just secretly let the ministers receive a message that the treasury was empty before the Dong Biquan case happened.

These people will panic that the treasury is really empty, and when Dong Biquan's incident is revealed, they will naturally have the will to shout for liquidation of the Ministry of Accounts.

Does Your Majesty dare to let people be so caught off guard?

He didn't dare, even if he finally compromised and liquidated, he would take himself out first, but the government and the opposition were filled with righteous indignation, even if His Majesty's own people didn't know the inside story, they would want to find out how much was left in the treasury.

What else can His Majesty do?
You still have to learn from yourself and pretend to be dizzy.

"Your Highness, Cui Gong and others are still kneeling at the entrance of the hall, please allow your majesty to liquidate the household department." Tianyuan handed over the information obtained by the people below.

"Don't worry, let them drag His Majesty, Dong Biquan hasn't let go yet?" Xiao Huayong peeled off a pomegranate, tasted it, "It's sweet and delicious, I'll pick some juicy ones and give them to you tomorrow."

Tianyuan raised his head and looked at the glowing red pomegranate not far away, he was very happy: "No."

After answering, Tianyuan said again: "Dong Biquan has loosened up a bit, when he won't see His Majesty for two days, he will speak up naturally."

"Well, His Majesty will be ill these few days, but Cui Zheng and the others won't be able to kneel for long, so pry open his mouth as soon as possible." Xiao Huayong ordered.

Dong Biquan was imprisoned in the sky prison, no one was allowed to visit, and Xiao Huayong could not enter the sky prison, most of the people in the sky prison were His Majesty's cronies, one or two of them did not dare to act rashly.

Dong Biquan waited for His Majesty's call, and Xiao Huayong's people passed on to him every word of what happened outside.

"Mr. Dong, tell me earlier so that the Dong family can be saved."

"Your master never showed up, nor did he say a single word, why should I believe it?" Dong Biquan sat blankly.

"Dong Gong, is there any other way to fight?" the jailer asked, "Dong Gong must know, Your Majesty has been forced to this point, and you must not save it. The deficit of the treasury and the corruption of the Ministry of Households are destined Dong Gong resists."

As soon as these words came out, Dong Biquan was shocked. He actually knew that he was acting as a forward for His Majesty.

"Mr. Dong, if you confess, you will die. My master may be able to protect everyone in Dong's residence for you." The jailer followed his advice, "If you don't confess, Mr. Dong might as well think about what will happen to Prince Kang's residence."

"You—" Dong Biquan's heart was full of turmoil, he even knew that King Kang was also His Majesty's man!

The jailer ignored him, and continued: "The Lord of Kang Wang's Mansion can still live because he is a member of the royal family, and the Dong family has no royal relatives."

Dong Biquan thought of Saburo Kang's mansion again, and his mood began to be chaotic.

"How will your master preserve my Dong residence? And how will my wife and children be fed and clothed for the rest of their lives?" Dong Biquan asked.

"It depends on Dong Gong's belief or not." The jailer just passed on a message, "If you believe it, you will have a chance of life. If you don't believe it, you will just copy and kill."

After speaking, in order not to arouse suspicion, the jailer did not stay for long and left without hesitation.

It has been two days, and His Majesty said he was ill for two days. Cui Zheng and Xue Heng led all the officials to leave the palace before the curfew, and came to kneel again in the morning to beg for the face saint.

On the third day, Xiao Huayong finally got what he wanted, flipped through it casually, and stood up: "Go to see Your Majesty."

Liu Sanzhi looked at His Highness the Crown Prince who was weak and pale, and seemed to be thinner than before, and dared not stop him. If His Highness the Crown Prince also knelt outside the door, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Liu Sanzhi entered the palace to report that Xiao Huayong was the first prince who was allowed to visit inside.

"Qilang is here, sit down." Emperor Youning's eyes were really blue, and a rash appeared on his lips.

"Father, Ka, Ka, Ka, Ka..." Xiao Huayong coughed violently, reluctantly saluted and sat down, "Father, Household Department... What happened to the Household Department?"

As soon as Emperor Youning heard the word Hubu, he couldn't help having a headache and rubbed his forehead: "The Hubu is in short supply, and the tax and money have disappeared for five years. If this matter is known to civil and military officials, no one will be able to live in peace."

Xiao Huayong was so startled that he coughed rapidly, and the corners of his eyes were red from coughing: "Dong Biquan... He, he is so bold!"

"It's my father who doesn't know." Emperor Youning sighed with his head down, quite a bit remorseful.

"Father... I feel that it's rattling... The ministers may have heard some rumors..." Xiao Huayong said with difficulty, "This delay...may make them even more disturbed..."

"Father has already thought of a solution, Qilang don't worry." Emperor Youning ordered Liu Sanzhi, "Xuan Cui Zheng, Xue Heng, Tao Zhuanxian and the six ministers."

It took Emperor Youning two days to finish counting the household department. There was already a charter, and he only summoned eight people.

These people have been tossed hard for the past few days. Emperor Youning spoke calmly and told them the truth about the household department. Hearing that the eyes of several ministers turned black, the corruption in the household department was more serious than they thought. To balance the accounts, Emperor Youning added some non-existing accounts in other places.

"It was I who caused this catastrophe by letting others not notice, but the news should not be heard, otherwise the barbarians from all over the world will definitely take the opportunity to start a war." Emperor Youning directly threw the question to the ministers, "Let's discuss a charter .”

A few people were stunned, the country's prosperity and the people's strength in their hearts were only an empty shell, Cui Zheng asked: "Your Majesty, are there any clues to these greedy money?"

"Zhen will order people to torture Dong Biquan." Emperor Youning replied, "How did you hide this matter?"

Yes, this matter cannot be exposed, otherwise it will be the beginning of chaos in the country.

"Your Majesty, if you want to keep this matter secret, you need to send Dong's family lightly." Xue Heng said.

As soon as this Emperor Youning was mentioned, his face turned livid. The courtiers didn't know the inside story, and thought that His Majesty was unhappy. For the sake of the overall situation, His Majesty still had to deal with the aftermath of such audacious people, and they couldn't deal with them happily, so they naturally felt dissatisfied.

He didn't dare to open his mouth easily, because he was afraid that today's pleading for Dong Biquan would give His Majesty a step down, and Dong Biquan would be found out for other crimes in the future, and he would be thankless.

Xiao Huayong looked at the crowd, and slowly knelt down under the support of Tianyuan: "Your Majesty, the crime is not as good as his wife and children, and Dong Shangshu's fault will be borne by him alone..."

Xiao Huayong coughed so badly that he felt heart-piercing, Emperor Youning strode forward and helped him up himself.

Holding his shoulder, he was much thinner than last time.

Cui Zheng and the others looked at Xiao Huayong with sighs and regrets, His Royal Highness is responsible, but it's a pity that this body...

In the end, Dong Biquan was sentenced to be executed after the autumn, and the household department was liquidated by the five ministers in conjunction with the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province, and a deficit amount was calculated, which appeased the hearts of all officials, and Dong Biquan was corrupt. Ju, the prince interceded to save his wife and children from being held accountable. Emperor Youning only copied Dong's family, and three generations of Dong Biquan's descendants were not allowed to be officials.

After all the officials learned about it, they all felt the benevolence of His Royal Highness the Prince.

 The thing is such a thing, it was Xiao Changqing's first arrangement, mobilizing military expenses and cutting off taxes and food, intending to expose His Majesty and break through His Majesty's backing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stepped in.

  Secretly learned about His Majesty's power, and at the same time shared his worries, gave His Majesty a fig leaf, and won the favor of all officials.

  Hahahahaha
