Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

"I checked the household registration yesterday and found that the number of household registrations in Shengjing plus the number of household registrations in various places is not equal to the total, or even a large deviation. I wonder where the disappeared household registrations have gone?"

Without saying a word, Nan Xi raised a question that made everyone in the household department tremble.

"Did Her Majesty Di Ji make a mistake in her calculations? How come the household registration numbers are not correct? It must be that when Di Ji looked through the book yesterday, she only looked at an outline, so there is an error." Liu Cheng stood up quickly. He came out to explain and questioned Nan Xi.

"Master Liu, do you think I am not good at arithmetic and can make such mistakes?" Nan Xi glanced at Liu Cheng and asked lightly.

Although everyone didn't know what the household registration number was, they also knew that it was definitely not what Nan Xi meant by "this little thing".

"Your Highness, Emperor Ji, does she know how many household registrations there are in Wansheng Kingdom?" After hearing what Nan Xi said just now, Liu Cheng thought that Nan Xi was talking nonsense, so he took the courage to question Nan Xi.

"A total of 210 million households."

Nan Xi responded fluently. She had already memorized the important figures in her mind, so she would not worry about people from the Ministry of Revenue questioning them.

Now it was Liu Cheng's turn to be stunned. He originally thought that Di Ji said he had read the whole book, but it was just a casual comment. There were so many books that could not be read in one day!

But after hearing Nan Xi say an accurate value, Liu Cheng no longer dared to question it, and became more cautious when speaking.

"Then I dare to ask Di Ji, how come the household registration numbers don't match up? Can you explain in detail?" After seeing this, Qin Beiyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, also stood up and asked Nan Xi.

But Nan Xi was not afraid of anyone who came and answered directly:

"For example, in Shengjing City, there were 20 and 3000 household registrations last year. So far, 120 new household registrations have been added and 20 households have been cancelled. The total number of household registrations should be 3000 and 20 household registrations. Why are there so many But the book says 3000 and two hundred and fifty households? Where did the thirty missing households go? Did they forget to cancel their accounts? Or is it because they are not in Shengjing at all, so they cannot cancel their accounts?"

"This"

Qin Beiyuan was in trouble. He didn't expect that Nan Xi's figures were so detailed!Even he doesn't know the specific number
At this time, the three adults serving in the Ministry of Revenue were silent. Since they had not discovered such an obvious mistake, they actually needed Di Ji to point it out to the court. They were simply shameless in front of all their colleagues!
Hearing this, Nangong Rui already understood what was going on.

The three old foxes in the household department usually neglect their duties and can make mistakes in such simple things.

"Liu Cheng, Qin Beiyuan, Chen Zihe, do you three have anything else to say?" Nangong Rui looked at the three of them and began to question them.

The three of them were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and apologized quickly:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my fault that I failed to discover such a simple numerical problem. After I return, I will thoroughly investigate the previous numbers and correct them!" Liu Cheng said tremblingly.

Seeing this, Nangong Rui looked at Nan Xi and asked:

"What do you think, Di Ji?"

This matter was brought up by Nan Xi, so she should also decide the solution.

"Father, the affairs of the Household Department are many and complicated. It is inevitable that some adults will be negligent. I just raised my doubts and wondered if the household registration number did not match up. Is there any other hidden reason? If it is just a simple number If it's not correct, even if it's not a big deal, you can just correct it. Please don't mind your ministers pointing out this mistake in front of everyone." Nan Xi's words were very beautiful, leaving them no room for quibbles, even I also want to thank Nan Xi.

"Your Highness Di Ji said something serious. Di Ji discovered such a big loophole in the Household Department just after taking office. She is really wise. I admire her very much. Working with Her Highness Di Ji in the future must be a blessing to everyone in the Household Department." Liu Cheng This is the only way to respond.

"As long as Mr. Liu doesn't mind, Father, this matter was made a fuss by my son. We should discuss it with Mr. Liu in private first. Please don't blame others." Nan Xi looked at Nangong Rui and said very sincerely.

"Hahaha, I am very pleased that Emperor Ji is so careful, so I will no longer pursue the matter of the household department's negligence. You can just correct the number in private and report it to me."

"Yes, I will obey the Holy Order——"

Liu Cheng, Qin Beiyuan and Chen Zihe quickly kowtowed and thanked them, and they escaped disaster.

And Nan Xi also reminded other ministers in the court by beating these three moths in the household department that she is not that easy to fool, and she is not afraid of offending anyone. She has the support of her father and the emperor behind her, so don't think about it under her nose. Be petty.

Today's morning meeting was over. Nangong Rui named Nan Xi, Nangong Fuyang and Xia Houqi to stay, and the others left on their own.

"Yang'er, you have been in the DPRK for half a year. Tell me, how are these officials in the DPRK?" Nangong Rui directly asked Nangong Fuyang a difficult question.

After Nangong Fuyang experienced the turmoil in the early court, he vaguely guessed what his father was thinking, so he answered according to his wishes:
"Back to my father, I have been serving in the Ministry of War. Although most officials are dedicated to their duties, it is inevitable that situations like today will occur, and it is inevitable that some officials will slack off due to their high positions and authority."

"Well, Yang'er is right. I have the intention to regulate the officials in the court, but I don't know where to start. Today, Xiao Xi'er brought up the fault of the officials in the Ministry of Revenue, so I thought of rectifying it starting from the Ministry of Household Affairs. What do you think? ?" This question was asked by the three people present.

"I think it's very good. Firstly, it can rectify the bad atmosphere in the court. Secondly, it can establish the authority of the emperor. Thirdly, it is also beneficial to the country. It can achieve multiple things with one stone. It couldn't be better." Xiahou Qi curled his lips and responded.

"From the day my father asked me to go to the Household Department, all I wanted to do was to rectify the Household Department." Nan Xi did not hide her ambitions at all.

Hearing this, Nangong Fuyang frowned slightly, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Then Yang'er will take a look at what aspects of the Ministry of War are not doing well enough, and boldly bring it up. You are a prince, and even though your official position is not as good as those in the Ministry of War, your status is far more noble than theirs, so you don't have to be afraid of offending them. "Nangong Rui pointed at the eldest prince and said.

"Yes, my son knows."

After leaving, Nangong Fuyang's face was very ugly. To him, his father's words just now were a reminder to him, saying that he was not as decisive and fearless as Nangong Chuxi!

This is a veiled jab that he has no royal bearing!

Nangong Fuyang has always been proud, but when Nangong Rui said this, he felt very unwilling!But you can’t refute it!
After he joined the Ministry of War, he had already discovered something fishy, ​​but in order to win over them, he chose to turn a blind eye and did not expose it. Who knew that Nangong Chuxi would steal the limelight first! (End of chapter)
