Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 603 Do You Want To Be My Concubine?
"Queen!" The emperor was stunned for a moment and then roared.

"Emperor, this is the kindness of the Ai family." After the Empress Dowager Liu glanced at the emperor lightly, she said to Xie Jue: "First you wiped out the whole family of Xu's family, and now you are checking the accounts at the Ministry of Accounts. This offends many people, mourning The family is referring to you now, one is the daughter of Hai Shilang from the Ministry of Industry, and the other is the concubine daughter of Zheng Shangshu from the Ministry of Households. They are both virtuous and virtuous people. help."

The emperor was so kind to King Xian only because of Su Yue. If King Xian had side concubines, and they were also two extremely beautiful and well-connected side concubines, Su Yue would be ignored because of the power behind those two people. Wang left Su Yue in the cold, so the emperor would naturally not make mistakes again.

Now that King Xian had offended many people by killing the Xu family, he let him continue to offend others by taking advantage of the family background of the concubines on both sides. Drive him out of the capital, and let Kang Wang take over those things.

At that time, the emperor and King Kang will be able to obtain all the victories without offending the courtiers.

(Xie Jue: If you say you are a pig, you are a pig!)
After all, the emperor has been filial to his mother for many years, and has developed the habit of Empress Dowager Liu never interrupting her speech. Now, after listening to Empress Dowager Liu, she is so angry that smoke comes out of her head. Xie Jue.

I thought to myself, if you dare to take over the concubines on both sides, I will make you look good!
A trace of coldness flashed across the corner of Xie Jue's lips, he did not rush to speak, but took Su Yue to give the last gift, and handed the tea bowl in his hand to Eunuch He who was waiting by his side.

Then, without waiting for Empress Dowager Liu to speak, she supported Su Yue to stand up.

Seeing him get up by himself, Empress Dowager Liu's complexion sank unconsciously, and she wanted to reprimand her, but just opened her mouth when Xie Jue said: "Does Empress Dowager want my Jun family's dynasty to be destroyed?"

Empress Dowager Liu's complexion suddenly changed, and she said sharply: "Presumptuous! How dare you slander Ai's family!"

Xie Jue held Su Yue's waist with his hands so that most of her body weight was on him, then raised his head, looked at the Empress Dowager Liu and the emperor above with a faint smile, and said, "I'm afraid the empress dowager and the emperor didn't know that last night, The household department suddenly caught fire, and the fire was not far from where the accounts were checked, and the fire burned most of the houses in that area."

"What!" The emperor's face changed drastically, and he said to Mr. He, "Why didn't the household department send any news about such an important matter?"

"Is...does it matter?" Seeing the emperor's reaction, Empress Dowager Liu asked the emperor, not caring about pursuing Xie Jue's crime of framing her.

"Why not!" The emperor was so angry that his lips were trembling, and there was great anger in his voice.

Xie Jue went to check the accounts, but the account department gave hundreds of account books, claiming that most of the account books in the past two years were there, if they were burned...

"Empress Dowager, I don't know if you know something?" Xie Jue said in a low voice, "Cai Bing's party did not give a penny to the frontier army for seven months. If Zhao Hao was not brave enough to bring the frontier army With my own flesh and blood in the way, the Beirong people have already broken through the border, and I am afraid that in July, the capital will have fallen, and our Great Song Kingdom has been destroyed."

Empress Dowager Liu turned pale, and murmured: "Of course the Ai family knows about this matter. Didn't the emperor award those meritorious persons?"

"In this battle, a total of 17 frontier soldiers died in battle and died of starvation. The number is almost reduced by half. It will take one to two years, and in the meantime, the pressure of the frontier army to resist Beirong can be imagined." Xie Jue looked at Empress Liu with a hint of coldness and said: "And if at this time, the imperial court detains the frontier army again Then, Empress Dowager, it is useless for you to crown Zhao Hao and all those generals as kings!"

Empress Dowager Liu's face turned even paler and said: "How could this be so! Isn't Cai Bing already imprisoned now!"

"Does the Empress Dowager know how much the frontier army should be paid for these seven months?" Xie Jue pointed out two fingers and said, "Because two of the months were wartime, the total is 2000 million yuan."

This time, even the emperor gasped, and said in a trembling voice, "2000 million?"

"Yes, 2000 million yuan!" Xie Jue said, "The frontier army's expenses are not only food and salaries, but also military uniforms and military equipment. Last year, Fengcheng, Yucheng, and Ningcheng reported that they were severely damaged and needed major repairs, and the rest of the border cities , fighting every year and the wind and cold in the north, the money for maintenance is also needed every year. Most of this money should be paid in autumn, so that people can repair the city when there is no troops in winter. However, from last year until May this year, the court Not a penny was given to the frontier soldiers."

Turning his gaze to Empress Dowager Liu, Xie Jue said with a cold face: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the money has been delayed by at most a million guan, but now 2000 million guan has been deducted, and it can't be found in the accounts of the account department. Considering this amount of money, the flood last year did not use much relief funds, so where did such a large amount of money go? And such an important matter, could it be Cai Bing who did it alone?!"

"Then..." Empress Dowager Liu murmured.

"Jue'er, that big fire, that big fire..." the emperor said anxiously, with a trembling voice.

Cai Bing actually deceived him to such an extent!

2000 million guan!The Song Dynasty’s annual taxes are tens of millions of guan, and there will be some surplus every year. How could it be possible to spend 2000 million more guan suddenly!

This is his incompetence!

To be bullied to such an extent!

From this point of view, the fire must not have been started by oneself, but someone deliberately set it on fire, with the purpose of destroying the account books, finding no evidence, and, moreover, framing the virtuous king!

Xie Jue glanced at the emperor, and still said to Empress Dowager Liu: "If you want to erase such a large amount of money, most of the officials in the household department must participate in it. The insider who can't escape, the money will not be less! Queen Mother, you give me the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department as my side concubine. You want to protect the Minister of the Household Department, let him continue to corrupt the law, and put the frontier army to death Well, I still think... if you want to kill me, you don’t need to use this method, just ask the emperor to order it.”

"Mother!" The emperor angrily turned his head and glared at Empress Dowager Liu.

Empress Dowager Liu's face was pale and red, she murmured for a while and said: "The Ai family doesn't know about this, it's just that Zheng's surname is not good, but..."

"Queen Mother, I checked the accounts these days and found a very interesting thing." Xie Jue interrupted her and said, "There is a sum of money in the account book of this household department, which is paid by the Huaibei Prefecture to repair the dam of the Huaihe River. There are more than 2 guan, but I checked the source of the money, and found that the Huaihe River in Huaibei was built ten years ago. At that time, the Ministry of Households allocated 20 guan. , After that, the payment was made under the same name for ten years. Didn’t you understand, Empress Dowager? The person is the Haishilang of the Ministry of Industry, and the person I am going to investigate thoroughly, so, what do you mean, Queen Mother?"
