As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 84 Too much evil fire
Both fell silent.

Yun Qi ate quietly, but Xie Zhaozhao had no appetite.

After a while, Yun Qi said: "There is no need to think too much about this matter. They are always unlucky...to drink soup."

Xie Zhaozhao said "hmm" and took two sips of the soup while holding the jade bowl in his hand.

After lunch, Xie Zhaozhao was leaving.

Yun Qi nodded: "Go back, Miaoshan Hall is my place. If you have anything important in the future, you can come to me there."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao responded and left.

Yun Qi looked at her back.

After Xie Zhaozhao disappeared among the pavilions, the temperature on Yun Qi's face gradually cooled, "Xuan Ming."

"master!"

Xuan Ming, who was looking around not far away, hurried over with a troubled look on his face: "The Ministry of War said that money is tight, and it really can't make up for the food and salary of the Xuanjia Army. The half of the money they gave us was scrapped here and there. Let's just endure it for a while. "

"They said they would replenish us when taxes come in this fall."

Yun Qi sneered, "The Xuanjia Army has 5 people, and the food and salary for one quarter is only a small amount for the Ministry of Household Affairs. We have to scrape this together. How will we make up for it in the future?"

"The court is so short of money, but my third uncle is not at all merciless in collecting money."

Xuan Ming frowned, "Prince Liang has indeed gone too far."

Before the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the world experienced decades of raging wars, and the people were miserable.

After the founding of the Qin Dynasty, it has always adopted a policy of resting with the people, reducing and exempting many exorbitant taxes.

The tax revenue of the national treasury is countless every year, but there are piles of things to spend money on.

Emperor Xuanwu and the prince were very worried about this matter. Recently, the confidential ministers have been discussing how to make money and fill the national treasury.

But just at this time, a secret message came from Youzhou a few days ago, saying that King Liang had privately owned the people's land and withheld most of the taxes from the sixteen states of Youyun to support the army.

In fact, other vassal kings had done it before withholding state taxes, but it was just a small move.

Only King Liang was so impudent that he deducted [-]% of the taxes from the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures and the surrounding prefectures hundreds of miles away, leaving only [-]% in the national treasury. He even wrote a booklet crying about the severe drought in the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures this year and no harvest.

Who was Emperor Xuanwu?

The king of Liang could be fooled by just a few words.

The fact that there is no decree to investigate the crime yet does not mean that Emperor Xuanwu has no thoughts in his mind.

At this water and land conference, another child appeared, and it was also involved in the incident of Xie Xingchen in Guanyin Hall five years ago.

The King of Liang is going to be in bad luck this time.

Xuan Ming said: "Maybe the Holy One will summon King Liang to the capital?"

"I don't know." Yun Qi said lightly, his eyes falling on the large green lotus leaves of the artificial lake, remembering the way Xie Zhaozhao had just pointed his toes in it, treading on the water.

The sides of her embroidered shoes were woven into the shape of flowers with pearls the size of rice grains, and the tip of the shoes was also decorated with a huge South Sea pearl.

"I still like pearls so much." Yun Qi chuckled: "Go find the set of pearls we got in the northwest and ask Xie Wu to bring it to her."

Xuan Ming: "..."

Aren't they talking about King Liang and the treasury?
"Did you hear that?" Yun Qi didn't hear the response and turned around with a frown.

"Yes!" Xuan Ming responded quickly, "My subordinates know...what about the military pay?"

"It's only a few tens of thousands taels short. It's not like I don't have anything." Yun Qi said lazily: "You take my token to the warehouse to pick it up... They have been with me through life and death, how can there be a shortage of military pay?"

Xuan Ming was not happy, but his expression was complicated: "That is His Highness's private treasury. The Xuanjia Army guards the northwest for the imperial court. No matter what, this money should come from the treasury and ask Your Highness to take it. What's the truth?"

"Besides, the people in the Ministry of Finance are very skilled. Your Highness went out on your own this time and didn't bother them. In the future, asking them to prepare military pay will probably be as difficult as picking it from between your teeth."

"So you should do it more secretly." Yun Qi said: "It would seem to outsiders that we are still tens of thousands taels short of food and salary. As for the money that has gone out, someone will naturally come to make up for it." Xuan Ming hesitated: "His Highness is saying... ...Prince Liang?”

Yun Qi didn't say much and asked, "How is the matter you were asked to investigate?"

"We have some clues." Xuan Ming said hurriedly: "But we haven't found any definite witnesses yet... After all, it's been some years."

"Then continue to investigate." A stern look flashed in Yun Qi's eyes, "If you can't find it, then create some evidence. Their background is not clean, so it won't be unfair to them."

……

Xie Zhaozhao was in a very good mood because his martial arts had recovered.

As for the countless conspiracies involving Xie Xingchen, Prince Liang, Prince Zhou, and Chu Nanxuan, Xie Zhaozhao was well aware of them, and they did not affect her mood too much.

Back at home, Xie Zhaozhao took the lead in going to Yu's Chunhe Building.

Recently, Mr. Yu has been worried and angry about Xie Zhaozhao, and has been in a bad mood.

Xie Zhaozhao told Yu about the recovery of martial arts and told her to be happy.

Yu's eyes widened, "Really? Why did you recover suddenly without showing any signs of it? How did you recover!"

"It's Mr. Miao!"

Xie Zhaozhao had already thought of his words, "He studied day and night and helped me solve the Ruanjin Powder."

"really?"

Yu stared at Xie Zhaozhao up and down.

"Really." Xie Zhaozhao smiled, tilted his head and said, "Do I want to show my mother a set of punches now?"

Yu was excited, but also a little unbelievable.

She glanced left and right, grabbed the Fengying Sword on the shelf in the window and handed it to Xie Zhaozhao: "Practice your sword!"

"Okay."

Xie Zhaozhao hadn't touched a weapon for several months, and his hands were actually very itchy.

Taking the sword from Yu's hand, Xie Zhaozhao went to the courtyard and performed his most proficient Luoying sword dance.

She is extremely talented in martial arts and has been very diligent over the years, practicing both internal and external skills extremely well.

A set of Luoying swordsmanship, sometimes tapping the toes to leap forward, sometimes holding the sword and thrusting forward.

Xie Zhaozhao's figure is elegant and graceful, and the sound of the sword breaking through the wind is also very pleasant to the ear.

Yu Shi looked at it and almost cried.

It's been a few months.

Mr. Miao said there was nothing he could do, and Mrs. Yu thought that her daughter's martial arts skills would never come back and she would look weak from now on.

Who would have thought that now there will be a bright future!

"mother."

After Xie Zhaozhao finished a sword dance, he came back to Yu and helped Yu wipe her tears with a smile, "Look, why are you still crying? Who can bear the sight of pear blossoms with rain?"

Yu's tears turned into a smile, and she said angrily: "Smelly girl! Mom is so happy!"

"I know."

Xie Zhaozhao looked remorseful: "It's my fault for worrying my mother."

"You are my mother's baby. If you don't worry about me, why should you worry about me?" Mrs. Yu poked Xie Zhaozhao's forehead and said happily: "It's a good thing that you have recovered now. Let's have a family dinner tonight." , let’s have fun together!”

Just as Xie Zhaozhao was about to say yes, Mrs. Yu frowned and said, "Why do you have acne on your forehead? Is there too much evil fire recently? This is not good. Let Mr. Miao help you prescribe some medicine to relieve the fire."

Xie Zhaozhao: "..."
