Chu Yingying nodded and returned to Chang'an Mansion with the other two, but no one spoke along the way.

Seeing that the Chang Mansion was about to arrive, Mr. Fu sighed: "What kind of world is this? It's not easy to live, and another natural disaster will make it worse."

However, Mr. Zhang snorted softly: "Is it a natural disaster? I'm afraid it may not be."

...

Jindu.

The memorial was thrown on the imperial case very carefully and a voice with anger said, "The natural disasters in Chizhou are also really powerful. Three million taels of white silver cannot block the embankment of Baisongjiang.

ah."

Several officials below immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and did not dare to speak. The prince Duan Geng, who was beside him, glanced at the memorial, and it was closed. I don’t know whose memorial it was.

He hesitated and slowly knelt down: "Don't calm down and take care of the dragon's body."

Emperor Yongtai sneered coldly: "Even if I lie down, I can be awakened by these people."

As soon as these words were said, several officials became more and more careful and kowtowed: "I am guilty."

One person replied: "When you go back to the emperor, except for the prefect of Chizhou who committed suicide due to fear of crime, the rest are on the way back to Beijing."

"My son is here." King Yong Duan Ce responded respectfully.

The coachman responded and drove the carriage forward along the long street, but it was not the direction of the royal palace. Soon, a man stood at the intersection in front of him, holding a lantern in his hand, as if waiting for someone.

.

Emperor Yongtai smiled briefly and said inexplicably: "It seems that everyone has their own reasons."

Pang Zhengyan saw sweat on his forehead, but at least he was calm and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the Ministry of Revenue has allocated the funds for the construction of the river embankment in Baisongjiang. Later, the accounts for the construction of the river embankment were detailed, and they were also handed over to

The Ministry of Revenue, which was investigated at that time."

King Yong sneered: "You probably don't know. I guess the three million taels allocated to the Baisong River embankment last year. I guess at least two million taels were entered by other people's pockets. Datou went to the palace.

In the village, the remaining officials of all sizes were divided into clean and repaired river embankments. I am afraid they will build their official roads."

Emperor Yongtai was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Have you ever been given back the money from the affected county, the magistrates and the people who supervised the river channel?"

King Yong said simply: "Order a thorough investigation."

Emperor Yongtai browed and his voice was neither happy nor angry: "Didn't the memorial tell you about the natural disaster? Before the Censorate tried him, he committed suicide because he was afraid of the crime?"

King Yong shook his head: "Not necessarily, he has done this kind of thing by cutting off his tail and surviving. It is not the first time he has done this."

Xu Jiajing gasped: "What can 500,000 taels do? Not to mention that the terrain in Chizhou is harsh, and this group of people is too brave."

Xu Jiajing took a breath of cold air, with a hint of briskness and joy in his voice: "Then check this and pull out the radish and bring out the mud, that person is probably involved."

With so many officials from all over the court, Ren Shi was a fool and knew that if he used three million taels to build a river, even if he poured water on the sky, he would not easily make a breakthrough.

This is clearly something is inside.

Emperor Yongtai glanced and sat down after the imperial case, saying in a deep voice: "Okay, that matter has reached the Ministry of Revenue, King Yong."

Everyone's hearts were thrilled. Emperor Yongtai turned to the eunuch on duty and asked loudly: "Have Liu Yuxi and He Yinguang both arrived?"

Not to mention the several prefectures and counties in Chizhou City, Baisongjiang had a dozen big holes, but he didn't realize anything in advance.

Everyone stopped talking. Emperor Yongtai stared at them with his eyes, slowly swept over, and finally turned into a cold snorting, saying, "Pang Zhengyan, you are the Minister of Works, come and tell me, the imperial court last year

I spent three million taels of silver to build the river bank for you. Where have you built it?"

"Comrade Cui Xiu, I'll leave first."

The carriage stopped, and the coachman whispered: "Prince, it's Lord Xu."

Soon after, Xu Jiajing got into the carriage. King Yong ordered the carriage to go back to the palace. Xu Jiajing lowered his voice and said, "Prince, how about it?"

What King Yong is not sure about now is that the emperor is throwing this problem to him now, whether to find out the matter or what to do...

In the dim light, a trace of light flashed in King Yong's eyes, and he slowly said, "Be careful."

King Yong's thoughts were heard, and he felt sweaty on his forehead. He replied cautiously: "Reply to the emperor, I have reviewed the accounts of the Baisong River embankment last year after the sons and ministers have revisited the accounts of the construction of the Baisong River embankment yesterday."

"Hmm?" Emperor Yongtai stood up and said meaningfully: "Has he committed suicide?"

Now everyone stopped talking, the air was disturbingly quiet. After a long time, Emperor Yongtai glanced at them and suddenly said, "Okay!"

The eunuch on duty immediately replied: "If you go back to the emperor, Master Liu and Master He have entered the palace and will arrive soon."

This time, King Yong felt nervous. He knew that Emperor Yongtai's short question was not that simple. He was asking the Ministry of Revenue on the surface, but in fact he asked the three who had transferred to build the river embankment.

Where did the million taels of snowflakes go?

King Yong said: "Anyway, this matter needs to be investigated, but I don't know how to investigate it or not."

He said this, paused subtly, and most of the people present raised their hearts. The next moment, he heard King Yong continue, "Only from the books, these three million taels are used in

There is no other purpose for repairing the river bank."

The emperor sharpened a knife, but should this knife kill people today? No one knows.

"yes."

Xu Jiajing hesitated and said, "The prince means..."

Emperor Yongtai sneered: "Is it a sin, but where is the sin?"

But the pen in his hand kept writing quickly, and occasionally glanced at the books spread out on his left, which were the books of national history.

Emperor Yongtai said: "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Tell me, how did you calculate the calculation of the river embankment in Baisongjiang?"

King Yong immediately said: "Let him come up."

Everyone kowtowed immediately and said, "I dare not."

...

Since the palace came out, several officials had no idea about talking and hurriedly bowed to each other. King Yong got into the car and said, "Go forward."

Xu Jiajing suddenly felt stern: "Yes."

Hanlin Academy.

A colleague packed up his pen and ink and blew out the candle on his desk. Cui Yunhao said, "Let's go slowly."

Emperor Yongtai suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, then I will wait a little longer."

After a while of silence in the carriage, Xu Jiajing suddenly said, "Prince, this is your opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Prince Duan Geng subconsciously tightened his mind, and then slowly relaxed, and turned to look at the suddenly named Minister of Works Pang Zhengyan.

It has been half a month since Cui Yunhao was arranged by He Yinguang to compile the national history.

Hanlin Academy is a bit magical place. The longer you stay, the more you stay, the more you become, and the smell of fresh ink is filled with the air, which makes people calm down quickly.

He wrote the last word, then put the pen down, sorted out the dry paper one by one, put it in the cabinet, then cleaned it up, blew out the candlelight, and left the Hanlin Academy.

After entering the night, there was no one on the way, so today there was a person standing by the gate with a lantern in front of him. Cui Yunhao felt something strange and stared at the man.
