The Emperor's Son-in-Law

On the throne, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes have been staring at Duan Chun.

"Duan Chun, have you read the contents of the memorial clearly?"

the emperor asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I understand."

"The food for disaster relief suffered huge losses during transportation."

"As a result, less than 30% of the food delivered to the disaster area was."

"If the victims cannot receive relief, I'm afraid something big will happen soon!"

Duan Chun said with cupped fists.

"Then tell me, how should I handle this matter?"

The emperor asked with satisfaction.

"Report to Your Majesty, if there is a problem with the food transportation."

"From what I have seen, Your Majesty will strictly investigate officials from all over the country."

"Looking for the reason for the huge losses."

"And for this reason, Wei Chen believes that there are three points."

Duan Chun said.

"Oh, let me tell you three points."

The emperor's eyes lit up.

"The first point is that there may have been some abnormal losses during transportation."

"For example, grain bags are broken and vehicles are damaged, such as losses due to bumpy roads, etc."

"Secondly, when passing through some disaster areas during transportation, there may also be looting by victims."

"Resulting in huge food losses."

"But Weichen believes that neither of the above two points are the real reasons."

"But the third point is that some local officials are secretly corrupt."

Duan Chun said loudly.

Suddenly, all the ministers in the entire hall quietly lowered their heads.

They all understood what was going on.

But no one dared to say it.

Now, His Majesty asked the young man to speak out directly.

It seems that His Majesty’s sword can’t wait to be unsheathed!

"Duan Chun is right."

"I have asked Yan Aiqing and all the ministers from the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"They all say that corrupt officials are responsible, but they don't know which corrupt officials are secretly doing so."

"It is recommended that I ask the Yushitai, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"I don't think it's so troublesome."

"I directly ordered the Huben Guards to go to various places to capture people.:

"It would be easier to capture them one by one and interrogate them carefully!"

The emperor shouted coldly.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers in the entire hall raised their heads.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

They all knew that the Ministry of Husbandry suggested that Yushitai, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment go to investigate.

It was just a delaying tactic, trying to make this matter a big deal, and it turned into a trivial matter.

It doesn't matter if these corrupt officials are found out, but the masters behind the corrupt officials.

This is what truly shakes the foundation of the Dakang Empire!

But if Your Majesty wants the Tiger Guards to investigate, it will be really troublesome...

"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you!"

Duan Chun suddenly spoke.

"Chun'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Duan Ning was right behind Duan Chun and quickly reminded him softly.

Although he is just a fierce general, he only takes military orders and leads troops to fight.

A typical type who only uses strength and no brain.

But he has followed His Majesty for more than twenty years and understands His Majesty's thoughts very well.

Your Majesty doesn't want to see Chun'er's abilities now, he just needs a reason to take action.

"Duan Chun, what else do you think?"

"Just say it and let me hear it."

The emperor looked at the young guy curiously.

"Wei Chen would like to know, your Majesty's most important thing right now is disaster relief?"

"Or are you here to punish those corrupt officials?"

"What is the one thing that Your Majesty must do now?"

Duan Chun lowered his head and asked.

"Of course it's disaster relief."

"But there are a lot of corrupt officials, and the food for disaster relief is gone."

"What can I do?"

the emperor asked coldly.

"Actually, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

"Weichen has a way to find relief food and send it to the disaster area as soon as possible."

"Completely resolve this disaster."

Duan Chun said.

"Oh, tell me?"

The emperor sat up and asked curiously.

"From what I can see, the food for this disaster relief is most likely not corrupted."

"It's just that the disaster situation varies from place to place."

"Officials in various places may want to use food at the most critical moment."

"So His Majesty only needs to send officials to various places to supervise the matter."

"It will completely solve all the troubles."

Duan Chun said.

He had already thought clearly just now that the food for disaster relief was definitely hidden by corrupt officials.

But these corrupt officials are greedy for food, which is to take advantage of themselves.

Most of the food is kept secretly and then given to the masters.

Duan Chun has seen this kind of plot countless times in movies and TV series.

The situation in the Dakang Empire today is absolutely the same.

There is no such thing, just because there are a group of guys wearing python robes sitting on the left side.

On the carriage entering the palace this time, he inquired about the situation of the court from the cheap dad.

I know that in today's Dakang Empire, His Majesty the Emperor has not yet established a prince.

However, there are already six adult princes holding official positions in the court.

The reason why Your Majesty does not establish a crown prince...

First, because His Majesty has been busy with government affairs in recent years, Dakang is still at war with Northern Xia.

If you want to expand your territory and unify the world, you will simply be too busy.

Second, His Majesty is still observing the behavior and character of these adult princes.

Let's see which son is more capable of becoming the crown prince.

It is normal for the founding emperor to be entangled in choosing his own prince.

Duan Chun knew very well that no matter whether His Majesty appointed a prince or not, the other princes would not settle down.

So the current trouble is the dispute among the princes!

If you want to solve such troubles, you can't just do it directly...

"Duan Chun, are you thinking too simply?"

"Just send some officials to supervise, can those corrupt officials voluntarily return the grain?"

The emperor was stunned.

"Your Majesty, what I said about sending officials to various places to supervise."

"I don't mean some ordinary officials."

"And those places where there are problems with grain cannot be said to be corrupt officials now."

"As long as they can get the grain back, they will have no problem."

"No need to bear any guilt."

"I wonder if Your Majesty understands my thoughts?"

Duan Chun said.

Ah!

In the entire hall, all the civil and military officials exclaimed.

They all understood Duan Chun's thoughts...

The emperor also frowned and looked at this little guy in disbelief.

If corrupt officials are not investigated, send people to make them spit out the embezzled grain.

The people sent cannot be ordinary officials...

The emperor wanted to kill them, but after listening to Duan Chun's words.

He suddenly had a new idea in his mind.

This kid is right. Even if all corrupt officials are killed, it may not be possible to find out where the embezzled grain is hidden?

As long as he issues an order to arrest people, the news will be spread to all counties in advance.

Those corrupt officials will definitely be on guard, either running away or committing suicide.

But the grain is still not found, who will take care of the disaster?

"I understand."

"You are so young, and your thoughts and concerns are indeed extraordinary."

"What other opinions do you have, my dear ministers?"

The emperor looked at both sides of the hall.

"I second the motion."

All ministers did not want to be involved in such disputes within the royal family.

They are now in high positions, but no one dares to offend the prince.

Because no one knows which prince will become the future emperor...

"Hmph..."

The emperor snorted coldly and looked at the group of princes under the steps on the left.

In his heart, he was a little more surprised at Duan Chun...
