After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Chapter 67

Xiao Yi smiled dotingly at Su Jingyan and said, "The empress has worked hard."

Xiao Ting said: "Your Majesty, the minister will receive these silver taels as a pension..."

Xiao Yi said: "Don't worry, Hu Wei, how is your investigation going when I asked you to investigate?"

Hu Wei stood up with thick dark circles under his eyes and cupped his hands: "I have found out, but I want to ask the regent first, are you sure that the roster of sacrificed soldiers you gave is correct?"

Xiao Ting said: "Naturally."

Hu Wei said: "Your Majesty, in the past three days, I have searched through the files of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple over the years, and corresponded one by one with the list of sacrificed soldiers given by the Regent.

It was found that nearly [-] soldiers among them were the descendants of the criminals who were exiled in the frontier, and there was no pension for those who died in battle.

But if the prince is benevolent, it is reasonable to give them pensions.

Dan Chen checked the list, and in this list, nearly [-] dead criminal soldiers were sacrificed by their families, all of which are on the list.

For example, if five members of the family died, they would receive a pension of 500 taels. No one has been able to receive the pension for a long time, but there is still payment for the pension in the account. How can the deceased receive the pension? "

Hu Wei went on to say: "Your minister has traveled all over Luoyang in the past two days and asked the family members of the martyrs who died.

They all said that they did not receive the 500 taels of pension, but what they could receive were four sets of garments of poor quality. The officer who distributed the pension said that those sets of clothes were worth 500 taels of silver.

They had no choice but to sign and pledge that they had received 500 taels of pension, but in fact the sum of the sets of tattered clothes they received would not exceed five taels of silver, please have a look at it, Your Majesty. "

Xiao Tingdao: "How could this be? This king clearly allocated real money and silver as pensions?"

Xiao Yi said to Xiao Ting, "Uncle and nephew love deeply": "I definitely believe that the emperor is a soldier wholeheartedly, but there is no guarantee that the officers under him will not be blind to money and commit corruption, after all, one person has 500 taels of huge silver.

Such corruption of the money obtained by sacrificing soldiers in exchange for their lives is unacceptable to heaven, and also because of the poor reputation of the emperor's uncle, the embezzlement of pensions by the Zhengxi Army must be thoroughly investigated!

Xiao Han, the king of Ning County, I appointed you as the general of Zhengxi. I will thoroughly investigate the matter of the Zhengxi army's corruption and sacrifice of soldiers' pensions. If there is conclusive evidence of corruption, I will kill without mercy. "

Xiao Han, who had always been hiding in a corner with nothing to do, and only held an idle position, suddenly heard his name, and came out and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Han took a meaningful look at the expression of his uncle Xiao Ting, who was about the same age as him, and said, tsk tsk, it's very ugly!
Xiao Ting repeatedly said: "Your Majesty, this king is the marshal of the West Conquest Army, if the rule is not strict, this king should investigate and deal with it..."

Xiao Yi said: "Uncle Huang worked so hard that even the concubine couldn't spare the time to marry him. It's hard to get back from Xiliang. It's time for him to rest well. Uncle Huang should let the juniors of the Xiao family share their worries and solve problems for the country."

All the courtiers said: "Your Majesty's words are very true."

Xiao Yi said: "As for the pension, after the corruption of Zhengxi Army is found out, it will be distributed along with the previously embezzled pension."

Xiao Ting clasped his wrists tightly, if he hadn't been rational, he would have plotted against him directly!

But at this moment, the reputation of conspiring against him will definitely be lost, and he will also be accused of embezzlement of pension funds. The hearts of the people may not be in his favor.

But if you check the Western Army, you don't know how much silver taels you have spit out, the tens of millions of taels withdrawn from the treasury, and the income from the military fields of the Western Army, and the income of the Xiliang royal family.

It adds up to a total of 60 million taels of silver, which is the income of the national treasury only in [-].

These silver taels are the root of his treason, so how can Xiao Ting be reconciled to just handing them over to Xiao Yi?

In addition, there are many generals in the Zhengxi Army who are his confidants. If he is punished for corruption, he will suffer a heavy loss.

Xiao Ting's eyes looking at Xiao Yi are full of blades, wishing to kill the king and seize the throne immediately!
Xiao Ting returned to the Prince Regent's Mansion and dropped a lot of things, Qing Dai even came over to persuade him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Western Expedition Army is yours, are you still afraid that court officials will come to investigate? Just poison him to death Those who come to investigate the matter can also cover up the past..."

Xiao Ting scolded angrily: "Idiot! The little puppet emperor asked Xiao Han to investigate. Now the king has to rely on the clan. If the clan king is killed, will the clan still stand by the king? ?”

Qing Dai said: "Prince Ning? Isn't that just right, isn't he the brother-in-law of Concubine Liang?"

Xiao Tingdao: "Xiao Han's princess Liang Suirou and Su Jingyan have a better relationship than sisters!"

……

Above the main hall, the courtiers dispersed.

Xiao Yi took a gold bar and asked Su Jingyan, "Ah Yan, where did you get so many gold bars?"

Su Jingyan looked at the high-spirited Xiao Yi and said, "I didn't expect you to be so bold that you dare to use this as an excuse to thoroughly investigate Zhengxi Army. Is Zhengxi Army so easy to investigate?"

Xiao Yi said: "I also know that it is not easy to investigate, so I asked Xiao Han to investigate. He is the king of the royal family, and Xiao Ting dare not kill him."

Su Jing said: "How do you know that Xiao Han will be used by you? You must know that Xiao Han is also surnamed Xiao. If he is on Xiao Ting's side, he is still the royal prince. How could he be willing to risk his life to do things for you?" Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Yi said: "I originally wanted to find Qi Yue, but although Qi Yue is also the son of the princess, his status among the clan is not as high as that of Xiao Han.

As for Xiao Han's willingness to do things for me, it doesn't matter, as long as someone checks, the army of Zhengxi will spit out something more or less, and it is enough to alleviate the worry of the national treasury being short-lived.

I don't expect to be able to take over Xiao Ting's military power by relying on the corruption of Zhengxi Army, and I don't want to force him into the road of treason. When the time comes, both sides will suffer and all civilians will be hurt.

I just need them to spit out the silver they took from the treasury! "

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Su Jingyan admired him a little in her heart, but she didn't expect the little emperor to set up such a game without saying a word to attract Xiao Ting's bait.

Although Xiao Ting couldn't be defeated completely, but he did have to hurt his muscles and bones, and it finally relieved Su Jingyan's anger for a while.

Su Jingyan looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Can you discuss it with me in the future? Unfortunately, I really thought you were short of pensions, so I ordered the major banks to dispatch, and hurriedly gathered the 500,000 taels of gold."

Xiao Yi said: "A Yan, where did you get so much gold?"

Adding all the property of the Su family, it would not be able to reach so much silver taels.

Su Jingyan gave Xiao Yi a purse, "Here."

Xiao Yi opened the purse and poured out two peppercorns: "Is this pepper?"

Su Jingyan said: "A friend of mine planted a hundred acres of pepper trees in Lingnan, and the pepper business spread all over the world, and the whole Datang was more than the tribute pepper.

All the peppers were bought from us, not to mention 500,000 taels of gold, more is also available. "

Pepper has been a luxury for thousands of years, and one tael is as expensive as gold.

Xiao Yi said with a smile: "It turns out that Ah Yan said that he wants to support me, it is true."

"How could sister lie to you!" Su Jingyan stepped on Xiao Yi's head.

Fang Yuan coughed at the entrance of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Ning Jun please see me."

Su Jingyan let Liang Suirou in.

Seeing the gold in the palace, Liang Suirou almost went limp, "So much gold?"

Su Jing said: "If you like it, you can take two more yuan back later, and it will be considered as a bounty for your Xiao Han's work."

Liang Suirou said repeatedly: "No, it's too late for me to thank you."

Su Jing said, "Thank you?"

Liang Suirou said: "Thanks to you for giving Xiao Han a job, it will take half a year at least. My concubine and mother-in-law will not think about giving him the side concubine of the county king all day long."

Su Jing said: "Princess Ning didn't mention taking a concubine when you were pregnant with Lin'er, so why is she going to take a concubine this time?"

Liang Suirou snorted softly: "Xiao Han happened to be taking a cold bath in the courtyard, and the princess happened to see her. The princess felt sorry for her son and decided to give him a concubine."

Su Jingyan thought that outsiders didn't know that she was pregnant now, if they knew, there would be no guarantee that no one would force Xiao Yi to go to the harem to meet another concubine.

Ning Wangfu is like this, let alone the harem?
