Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Zhang Liyuan has reason to be angry!
Damn it, he was wondering how he was caught without any clue!
He clearly hasn't done anything evil.

Although he made some mistakes on weekdays, they would never reach the point where he would be stripped of his official uniform and punished on the spot by His Majesty in court.

Before, he thought that His Majesty was making a fuss about the empty account book and wanted to kill him.

Now it seems that he has been implicated.

He himself had only helped out that one time, purely out of pity for the other party and just wanting to get the job done quickly so as not to waste both parties' time and work.

The results of it?
Everything that Zhang Liyuan had never dared to do or wanted to do was done by Zhao Yurong.

Others may not know, but doesn’t Zhang Liyuan know?

As someone who has worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than ten years, although he is not good at handling interpersonal relationships, his professional level is always the best in the Ministry. After all, he knows a few people and has heard a lot of news.

At least, he knew that Zhao Yurong's elder brother was the prefect in Wuchang.

Now it seems, huh, I am worried just doing a favor for others, but Zhao Yurong is really brave.

It's obvious that he directly tampered with the data in an attempt to get away with it.

punishment!
It’s too cruel!
But you bastard, you are looking for death, can you please not take me with you?
At this moment, Zhang Liyuan really wanted to kill that bastard Zhao Yurong with one knife.

So it was you who brought the emperor here?

Although Zhang Liyuan was so angry that his lungs ached, he was no longer as panicked as before.

Because he had just moved his ears and heard an extraordinary word from His Majesty's words.

"Zhang Liyuan's reasons are understandable"

Tsk tsk, just this sentence will do.

With this sentence, the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan turned into confiscation of property and exile.

At the same time, as a person who only knew how to work hard, Zhang Liyuan, who gradually climbed to the position of Minister purely because of his great contributions, and who had nothing else to do in the Ministry of Revenue except working himself and leading others to work, suddenly found that he was actually quite lucky this time.

Because of his past experiences, he was not very familiar with these "smart" officials, and they were usually only polite to him on the surface.

Therefore, he actually only needs to take on a little bit of "leadership responsibility".

In this way, the confiscation of property and exile would probably become exile alone without the confiscation of property.

As for the most shocking accounting fraud in the Empty Seal Case and the favoritism and fraud like Zhao Yurong, he didn't do it anyway. At the same time, because he did not handle the relationship between colleagues and superiors well on weekdays, he not only did not know about these things, but he did not even have the management authority.

He himself has never done anything like this!
From this perspective, it seems that it is possible to change from not confiscating his property and just exiling him to dismissing him and returning home?

Moreover, he, who knew almost nothing about interpersonal relationships in the past, suddenly thought of someone at this time.

It seems that his teacher was Mr. Hu Weiyong.

That's right!

This stupidity of his was really brought up by Master Hu.

Back then, Master Hu had a lot of students under his tutelage.

At that time, he was recommended to work in the Ministry of Revenue because of his honesty and proficiency in arithmetic.

And then all the way to today.

When Mr. Hu was promoted to Prime Minister, he did not try to curry favor with him;
When Mr. Hu resigned and returned to his hometown, he did not slander anyone.

From the beginning to the end, he was a well-behaved person, only giving Master Hu some "small gifts but great sentiments" such as cakes, calligraphy and paintings during the New Year. It can be said that he was the one with the least relationship among all the students of Master Hu.

He was even more familiar with the butler Hu Yi than with Master Hu.

After all, the person he interacts with on a daily basis is actually the chief steward and the general manager, and he never sees Master Hu at all!

However, now that things have come to this, can I ask my mentor for help?
When he thought of this possibility, Zhang Liyuan was instantly moved.

Even though he hadn't spoken yet and Master Hu hadn't agreed, Zhang Liyuan was sure that as long as his mentor opened his mouth, his matter would be settled.

Not only does he not have to be dismissed from office, but if Master Hu were to ask for it, the most he would be punished with is a demotion and a salary reduction.

At this moment, Zhang Liyuan didn't know whether he had really reached the end of his rope or if he had suddenly come to his senses.

He suddenly thought that this empty seal case not only involved multiple offices of the Ministry of Revenue and a large number of officials, but more importantly, it also involved a variety of local personnel.

Here, it is necessary to check and verify all the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue in various places. This is a tough job that requires extremely high professional skills.

If I could complete this tough job under the advice of my mentor, would I be rewarded for my merits and eventually reinstated as a minister?

You know, this is hard work, but it's hard work nonetheless!
The reason why he was able to get promoted over the years is not because of his hard work, right?
Now I am just continuing to do my usual work, but the intensity of work has increased again, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

After all, compared to the hard work in the government office, punishments such as house confiscation, exile, genocide, and dismissal are more terrifying.

The more Zhang Liyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was something he could do.

To the extent that he didn't even hear clearly what Zhu Yuanzhang had just said.

It seems like he is instructing the Jinyiwei to investigate the matter thoroughly?
However, at this moment Zhang Liyuan suddenly started and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, while others looked at Zhang Liyuan as if he was a monster who was not afraid of death.

Whose general is this and why is he so ferocious?

How dare you interrupt His Majesty and start talking nonsense at this time?

Isn't it enough to seek death yourself, but now you want to drag your family into it?
But Zhu Yuanzhang raised his lips slightly, and said calmly: "Approved!"

When Zhang Liyuan heard the word "approved", he was delighted again.

He was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would see him shouting and directly push him out and chop him into pieces.

Then he won't even have the last chance.

Now it seems that everything is fine, it’s fine!
"I, the guilty minister Zhang Liyuan, know that I have committed a grave sin, but I beg Your Majesty to allow me to atone for my sins by rechecking the accounts between the Ministry of Revenue and various places, as I have worked diligently in the Ministry of Revenue for more than ten years."

"This move is not only a way for a guilty minister to atone for his sins, but also a good opportunity to show your majesty's benevolence and let the innocent be innocent and the turbid be turbid, and to distinguish between black and white!"

"I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission!"

After Dean Zhang Li said this, many people looked at him as if they didn't know him.

Damn, is this Zhang Liyuan?

Is this Zhang Liyuan, who has made few friends in the Ministry of Revenue after all these years, and who has seen off five or six ministers but is still not making any progress?

This is probably a fake! (End of this chapter)
