Daughter of the prosperous age: Don't pretend to be stupid

Chapter 307 Grain Destroyed (8)

Prince An rode his horse quickly towards the palace, and then walked directly towards the emperor's bedroom.The emperor didn't know the real identity of Princess An, but thought she was the daughter of the family with no real power. He would definitely agree to his request and let Ye Haoyun come to rescue Princess An.

"Go back to Prince An, Your Majesty just went to the imperial study." The eunuch who was on duty in the sleeping hall listened to Prince An looking for the emperor, and replied hastily.

"Liu Shangshu, tell me, what is going on? Why is the treasury empty? Where did the 300 million taels of silver go in the treasury?" As soon as Prince An arrived at the door of the imperial study, he heard the emperor's furious cry. The voice came out.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I really don't know. I only found out about the theft of the key just after returning home." The voice of Minister Hubu came out with a slightly crying voice.

"The key you are in charge of has been stolen, and you didn't find out until today. It's an unforgivable crime!" The emperor said angrily, "Pull it down, you will be punished thirty times, and then hand it over to the clan's government!"

The Clan Mansion is specialized in dealing with all kinds of official crimes, which is equivalent to the modern Supreme Procuratorate.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I remembered a suspicious point." The Minister of the Household Bureau kowtowed repeatedly, "The key of the minister has been kept in the most secret place of the house, and even my wife doesn't know about it. But half a month ago, the minister had a drink with Zhao Shilang again. At that time, Zhao Shilang talked about the safety of key storage, and when the minister drank too much, he said a few more words..."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.Because the emperor had already punished the general guarding the treasury just now, and the general also said that Zhao Shilang had invited him to drink once and mentioned the key.At that time, the general drank too much and couldn't remember what he said.

Prince An's eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes became extremely deep.

He thought that Prime Minister Liu would attack the harem or the common people, causing riots, but he didn't expect that Prime Minister Liu was actually targeting the treasury!
300 million taels of silver, how did he do it?
Before, he thought that he had enough strength to compete with the Queen and Prime Minister Liu, but at this moment, he was not so sure.

Three million taels of silver is enough to feed 300 troops for a year and a half. Compared with the treasury's silver taels, the silver in his hands is just a drop in the bucket.

"Your Majesty, I think Zhao Shilang is very suspicious." Prime Minister Liu stepped forward with a serious expression, "The treasury key is kept in secret. Why did Zhao Shilang mention the key while drinking? And why did the treasury disappear after he disappeared?" Stolen? I feel that the theft of the treasury must be investigated from the disappearance of Zhao Shilang."

"How could a little Minister Zhao steal 300 million taels of silver from the treasury. There must be someone else behind him!" The official sent by the second prince added, seemingly dissatisfied.

The courtiers who were urgently summoned again listened to Prime Minister Liu's words, and all of them were sweating profusely.

Zhao Shilang is a loyal and unyielding member of the Fifth Prince's Party, Prime Minister Liu insists on killing Feng Tianyang!

Everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, but they were all silent.After all, Zhao Shilang did indeed disappear during Feng Tianyang's administration, and the Haoting Club seems to have a close connection with Feng Tianyang.

Everyone understands that they are all in a whirlpool, if they make a wrong move, or just say a wrong word, they will be smashed to pieces.

Too many words and too many mistakes, so everyone lowered their heads and shut their mouths tightly, silently waiting for the result of this confrontation.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, leaning against the armrest, holding the armrest tightly with his hands, his breathing was short of breath, and dark blue was faintly appearing on his face.
