Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 578 Why Are You Here

"The Emperor is really not afraid of offending people."

Previously, Song Chen never expected that the emperor would be setting such a banner.

All the officials sitting here now have all the accounts of their homes in front of them, and there are only two choices.

One is to check the accounts himself, and the other is to let the other party check the accounts for him.

Whose accounts do you want other people to know?

"Let him be ridiculous, the more ridiculous he is, the better our chances are."

Cang Xiuxuan squeezed Song Chen's hand under the table while others couldn't see it. Song Chen's face quickly turned red, and he actually felt an unprecedented excitement.

It's like... having an affair.

Under the table, Cang Xiuxuan's hand kept squeezing Song Chen's, with no intention of separating. Above, the emperor ordered several people one after another. Without exception, these people rushed to the emperor to plead for mercy. The meaning was clearly No more auditing allowed.

The emperor had thought that this matter would not go so smoothly, but he never expected that they would all resist. Does he, the emperor, still have any dignity?
At that moment, the emperor slapped the table and asked, "Do you all want to resist the decree?"

It is a big deal to resist the decree and disrespect it.

When the courtiers below heard this, they shook their heads quickly. They could not recognize anything like resisting the imperial decree, otherwise it would really be a capital crime.

Not to mention that if you can't protect your family's property, you will lose your life.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to be clear. I definitely don't mean this. I just don't want to embarrass my family in this matter in the court. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Once the first person spoke, the rest naturally followed his excuse.

Suddenly the entire hall resounded with, "Your Majesty, please grant me permission."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face and looked coldly at the ministers below. They were afraid that they really didn't want to live anymore. If they could resist the decree on the spot, would he still be an emperor in their hearts?
They didn't want to do this today, but he had to do it.

"You all are unwilling to check the accounts, so there must be something wrong with your accounts. Today I have to check your accounts. Didn't you say that your wife can't read the account books? What a big problem this is, I There are many people in this palace who know how to read ledgers."

No one can stop what he decides to do.

After a while, the emperor had already called several people over.

Even though they are all eunuchs, they are all good at settling accounts.

Cang Xiuxuan recognized them. Several of them were from the emperor's private treasury.

"The emperor is not going to let everyone go unless he gets the money today."

Cang Xiu

Sure enough, when a minister sitting not far from them heard his words, his expression became even more different.

The emperor put on this posture, and they all guessed that maybe something big was going to happen. Now that Cang Xiuxuan was like this, they suddenly understood the emperor's true purpose.

Bringing the wives and account books of these officials, isn't it because you want to know their financial status?

Then I'm afraid I have to figure out how much money I should get from them based on their financial situation!
Such an emperor is really disgusting.

At that moment, these words were spread to the ears of several people, and everyone began to think of countermeasures. This account could not be checked under any circumstances, and their money could no longer be taken out, otherwise they would not be able to survive in the future. pass.

The food is getting more and more expensive now, and we don’t know when it will rain.

Taking a step back, even if it rains now, the harvest will still have to wait until a year later. They will have to resist for another year. The changes in food prices during this year are beyond their control now. Estimated.

They are a big family, with hundreds of people in their families. If they don't have money, they will be forced to die.

But... none of them really can think of any way to do it. Unless someone rushes out and kills the emperor now, otherwise the emperor will find people in the palace to check their accounts like now. After checking the accounts, it will be natural. Start asking for money.

Mr. Liu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who was the first to be named before, looked at these eunuchs with an increasingly ugly look on his face. The emperor was serious. No matter what, he was going to check this account today. .

He knows what his own accounts are like, and if one of them is dead, then he will risk it all.

"Your Majesty, our country is currently suffering from a severe drought. So many people in the world are waiting for food assistance and rain from the sky. As the king of a country, your Majesty should suffer the same consequences as the people. But now, Your Majesty, you are so ridiculous, do you want to bear an eternal infamy?"

No matter what, he would die anyway, so he might as well say everything he wanted to say before dying, so that he could at least die more comfortably.

As soon as he said these words, everyone took a breath of cold air.The emperor's face also turned livid, and he stared at him with his eyes, as if he could kill him with his eyes.

After a long time, the emperor spoke again, "Do you think this is ridiculous? Where does the absurdity come from? I am here to check your accounts today just to let you know in your hearts what you should and should not do. I am a person. The king of the country needs to share the sufferings of the people, so why are you not parents and officials? Can you just take care of yourself?"

When the emperor said these words, he was not entirely talking about the Minister of Household Affairs. He knew that these ministers were not clean. The fact that he took so much money from them before was proof of this. Each of them took the salary of the imperial court. , there is such a big family to support, how can it be possible to support it just by relying on the salary from the court.

At that time, he turned a blind eye and nothing happened.

Now that something has happened, he can't do this again, not to mention that he, the emperor, has no money to spend. How dare they, officials, leave so much money.

If he couldn't get money from these people today, he would start ransacking homes tomorrow.

If a house is searched, there will naturally be a lot of things that can be obtained.

The people below stopped saying anything. They knew that anything they said was wrong.

The emperor also wanted to establish his authority and directly asked people to come forward to check the accounts. If the problem was serious, he even announced in court that his house would be confiscated.

Master Liu, the Minister of Household Affairs, was among those whose homes the emperor announced would be ransacked.

"I never thought that there would be so much money in the Ministry of Finance, which would make you fat. If I don't deal with you today, I will be sorry to the people of this world."

If compared to these official words, the emperor would naturally have them at his fingertips.

With the first one, there will naturally be a second one.

Just for this palace banquet, the emperor raided five houses.

The remaining officials are all in danger.

Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan were both spectators. Seeing the emperor's madness and the resentment of the ministers, this was the best opportunity for them.

There's no need to wait any longer.

Song Chen quietly slipped out of the hall and successfully met up with Cang Xiuxuan's people in the palace.

This person surprised her. She had thought about countless possibilities, but she never thought of him.

After the message was sent, Song Chen directly launched the signal bomb. Cang Xiuxuan had already figured out the situation in the palace. At present, almost all of the emperor's imperial guards were in Beijing and stayed here to protect his safety.

As long as these people led by Cang Yi can deal with all the forbidden troops, everything will be easy to handle.

At this time, the city gate was locked. As soon as Song Chen's signal bomb was sent out, Cang Yi had already organized his team and prepared to proceed as mentioned before. When they arrived at the city gate, the city gate was also open.

The large army entered the imperial city very smoothly.

At this time, in the palace, all the Naxi people that Cang Xiuxuan had ambushed before were used. At the palace banquet, Cang Xiuxuan's hand was smashed to the ground. Not long after, he appeared next to him. Several men in black and some in official uniforms of the Great Rong appeared in front of him.

"Master, I will be waiting for you."

Cang Xiuxuan glanced at them lightly, then slowly took off the mask on his face, and smiled at the emperor sitting at the head, "Father, long time no see."

The emperor never expected that such a change would happen, and his originally proud expression suddenly became extremely worried for some reason.

He knew to some extent what his son was capable of. He sent so many people out before but failed to capture their city. Not only did he fail to capture it, he also suffered huge losses there.

Then the cities that Jin Chu occupied before were unexpectedly in the hands of Cang Xiuxuan. They had no knowledge before this, and he had to start to re-evaluate his son.

The emperor quietly squeezed his fists, but looked at Cang Xiuxuan with a faint look on his face, "Why are you here?"

Cang Xiuxuan didn't feel as nervous as the emperor at all. He only raised his eyebrows indifferently, "What do you think, father?"
Cang Xiu

Everyone has forgotten what they are going to do next. They only know that their eyes are now focused on the father and son, who will survive in the end.

"This time I came to bring a great gift to the Emperor. I believe all the adults are interested."

As soon as Cang Xiuxuan finished speaking, some people fell out of the darkness.

That's right, they just fell out. Following the movements of these people, the people standing behind them also appeared in front of everyone.

And those people who were thrown out first had all closed their eyes and were not breathing.
