[ps: Regarding the time of the last dynasty, as mentioned earlier, Emperor Jing was sympathetic to hundreds of officials, and the time of the last dynasty was delayed by an hour, and the real time of the last dynasty in ancient times was very early. 】

"You guys are so daring!"

The official whose name he named just now has been taken down by the guards who poured in from outside, Emperor Jing looked down, his face was extremely gloomy, "In a few years, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver...... I am not raising officials, I am raising a group of moths!" ”

"The minister is guilty, please be gracious to Your Majesty!"

"Please be gracious!"

"Your Majesty, be gracious!"

……

……

At this moment, no one had a trace of illusion, and nearly ten people fell to their knees, crying and weeping.

A trace of tiredness appeared on Emperor Jing's face, and he waved his hand and said: "Cut off the official positions of these people, first escort them to Dali Temple, and the family property will be confiscated, and all the proceeds from the confiscation will be returned to the treasury!" ”

Soon, those people were taken away by the guards, and the courtiers below were silent one by one, looking at the ground and not daring to look up.

The name of the person who was named by His Majesty just now, the highest official position has reached the fourth grade, and a little higher, it is the level of the six Shangshu, in recent years, it is the first time that such a large-scale removal of an official has been made.

And looking at His Majesty's appearance, this is the beginning.

Could it be that His Majesty is really determined to subvert the entire court?

"Yesterday, the Arithmetic Academy sent the results of the account verification to the palace." Emperor Jing turned around, walked upward, sat back on the dragon chair, and said, "One by one, I have been turning over the accounts all night, and I am very sad............

Hearing His Majesty's voice sink, the hearts of many courtiers also sank.

Judging from the previous situation, any problematic accounts cannot be concealed from the students of the academy, doesn't it mean that all the evidence of corruption of Beijing officials is in the hands of His Majesty?

Thinking of this, even those officials with a clear conscience felt a little chill in their backs.

As for those who are ashamed, they are already a little unstable under their feet.

Is there really no way to escape this time?

……

……

"Boy, Your Majesty's most trusted person is you, this time, Your Majesty really plans to wipe out those people?" Old General Xue pushed Li Yi and asked with a frown.

Just now, the old emperor spoke so loudly that he couldn't fall asleep, Li Yi had actually woken up, opened his eyes when he heard the words, and said, "What will Your Majesty do, the generals won't be unclear, right?" ”

General Ma Lao waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty's actions these days are very different from before, even a few of us can't guess it, don't buy it, don't buy it, hurry up......"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "How could Your Majesty watch the court fall apart, a few generals can rest assured." ”

Old General Xue glared and asked, "Do you kid really know the inside story?" ”

"Shhhhh......h......h

After a while, Old General Xue looked happy and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Li Yi asked rhetorically: "When did I deceive a few generals?" ”

"Good boy......" Old General Xue patted him on the shoulder, rubbed his palms again, and his eyes were bright.

A faint aroma wafted from beside him, and Her Royal Highness the Princess stood beside him and asked, "Is there anything good?" ”

In the early dynasty, the only woman who could enter this hall was Her Royal Highness the Princess, Li Yi thought about it, and felt that the eldest princess still had to take it, and was about to speak, when another figure came over beside her.

……

……

"Feng Yuan, the left waiter of the household department, was born in a poor family, failed the imperial examination, I hired him exceptionally, in the past fifteen years, he was single-handedly promoted, the household department is in charge of money and food, a left waiter, do you know how much he is greedy, 150,000 taels, a full 150,000 taels!"

"Do you know that for the sake of 50,000 taels of military expenses, the military department Shangshu and the household department Shangshu almost fought in front of me, which is not enough for him Feng Yuan to be greedy for a year!"

"Chen Ying, the head of the Du Branch, you may not understand, I remember very clearly, Yuan He was a Jinshi in the eighth year, and in the tenth year of Yuan He, I promoted him to be the head of the Du Branch, 80,000 taels, 80,000 taels in three years......"

Emperor Jing's voice gradually changed from grief and indignation to deep sorrow, and some of the courtiers below were pale and trembling, while others showed shame on their faces.

"These people you are here, it's not without problems, you are not much better than the people I just took down, you touch your conscience, do you still have a conscience?"

……

……

After a while, as if he was tired, Emperor Jing sat back on the dragon chair with some dejection, and said, "I'm done, it's time for you to say it." ”

Most of the courtiers still bowed their heads, and the entire hall was silent.

At this time, whoever speaks first will be the first to meet His Majesty's wrath.

"The minister has something to say."

In the silence, an unhurried voice came from behind a pillar.

Looking at the young man who came out from behind the pillar, everyone's faces showed surprise and puzzlement.

Uncle Li County, it's actually Uncle Li County!

As the dean of the School of Mathematics and the person with the strongest family in the court, he could have stayed out of the matter, but he stood up at such a moment, what did he want to do?

Doesn't he know that His Majesty is angry, and whoever comes out is unlucky?

In the crowd, Li Mingze, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, raised his head, his face showed a worried look, Yan Bing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, frowned slightly, Jingzhao Yin Dong Wenyun glanced at it in surprise, and there were also a few corners with gloating eyes.

"Say." Emperor Jing glanced down and said lightly.

"Your Majesty." Li Yi raised his head and said: "It has been half a month since the opening of the Counting Academy, in order to create a good learning environment for the students, the minister wants to dig an inner lake in the Computing Academy, but the budget of the Academy is insufficient, so he wants to apply for a grant from His Majesty......"

Before the words fell, many people in the hall were already stunned.

Now are you talking about digging a lake?

Your Majesty is talking about corruption, what does it have to do with digging lakes?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, what does digging the lake have to do with the study of students in the School of Computing?

Li Xianbo really thought that relying on His Majesty's attention, he could be so presumptuous in the court?

Before they could react, another figure came out, and General Xue said in a rough voice: "The old minister is bold, I want to ask Your Majesty to allocate 100,000 taels to buy a batch of new ordnance for the front-line soldiers......"

Li Yi glanced at Old General Xue, and opened his mouth to say 100,000 taels, Jiang is still old and spicy, and his heart is also old and ruthless......

Before everyone could figure out why General Xue wanted to join in this excitement, there was another voice in the hall, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess stepped forward and said, "Erchen has been ordered to build a women's college, and the funds are temporarily short of 50,000 taels ......."

Ning Wang Shizi, Li Xuan, president of the Academy of Sciences, took a few steps forward and said: "The Academy of Sciences is about to open, and I want to apply to Your Majesty for 50,000 taels of research funds......

……

……

Crazy, all crazy.

This is the most intuitive feeling of the courtiers.

It is precisely because of the tight treasury that there will be this inventory of accounts and the thunderous wrath of His Majesty.

Isn't it asking for death to say such a thing at this time?

Li Xian's hysteria is committed, and General Xue is confused, and he can still understand it, but Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Prince came up to join in the fun?

Immediately, many people in the DPRK and China changed their faces, and many people showed a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

The next moment, Emperor Jing stood up, and under the gaze of everyone, he said slowly: "New arithmetic is very important to my Jingguo, the soldiers kill the enemy in the front, ordnance is indispensable, and the preparation for the establishment of a women's college is also a matter ......for the benefit of women, the research of the Academy of Sciences is beneficial to the country, but the treasury is tight, and the silver money needs to be used in the most critical places......"

Emperor Jing thought for a while and said, "The treasury cannot be used without permission, so let's do it, I will take out 10,000 taels from the inner mansion, and as for how to distribute it, you can discuss it yourself." ”

Old General Xue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, by all means, the inner government is responsible for the expenses of the palace, and it must not be confused with these." ”

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the specifications of the banquets in the harem will be lowered by one level, and I will save another province from other places, and I will always be able to save it." ”

The courtiers of the palace were stunned, His Majesty actually didn't have the slightest reproach, and smoothly took over the topic?

Compared with these things, the accounts that caused the court to almost collapse seem to be more important, right?

Among the many courtiers, a middle-aged official suddenly came back to his senses, and the next moment, his breathing was a little short, and his face became flushed.

He took a deep breath, strode forward, and said awe-inspiringly: "Your Majesty, the inner government is responsible for the expenses in the palace, it has been carefully planned, and the use must not be reduced, as a courtier, he should share his worries for His Majesty, and the minister is willing to donate 20,000 taels for my Jingguo soldiers!" ”

Many officials in the DPRK and China were stunned for a moment, and after glancing at each other, they finally seemed to realize something, and immediately the faces of many people became excited......
