The system forced me to be emperor

System: "An ordinary life, not challenging, what tasks do you want! This system is not the other kind of system that kneels and licks the host! This system is upright, principled, and rules-based. It is different from them. It’s not impossible, when the host is in big trouble, or when a large green grassland grows on his head, this system guarantees two, three, or even five consecutive hits for the task!”

Xiao Rui gave the system a middle finger.

Of course, I hope to have that kind of system that licks the host fiercely. It doesn't matter where the licking is, as long as the licking is cool, you can give whatever you want to be satisfied!

His own system is indeed a dog system, and he is not wrong.

In addition, there is a large green grassland above the head?What a joke!Except for Yan Linglong, everyone else was staying under his nose.

Speaking of Yan Linglong, I haven't received a letter from her Gyrfalcon for several days, and I don't know what I'm busy with.It's been more than a year since we last saw each other, and I miss them very much, so I can only pass on letters from Hongyan to comfort my miss, when can we meet again?

Back in the East Palace, Xiao Rui wrote a letter, and then asked Li Yuanfang to send it to the original Xianwang Mansion, and asked Gongyechang to send it to the Yan Kingdom with a spear falcon.

The gyrfalcon spread its wings, blending into the cold wind and piercing the sky.

……

Yan Guo Zhen Guo Princess Mansion.

Yan Linglong returned to the palace early after leaving the morning court, and came to the heavily guarded back house, where Hua Zheng was coaxing the little prince.

It has been more than two months for Xiao Shizi, and he has lost the dryness when he was born, and has become white and tender, and the parents have such strong genes, will the child born be ugly?

"Have you had milk yet?" Yan Linglong hugged her sweetheart. Although she hadn't seen her for two hours, she still missed her and couldn't leave this little guy for a moment.

Huazheng nodded, and said: "I was fed by the nanny just now, and the little son's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. He is indeed the son of His Highness and Prince Xia. It is not easy when he is born. It has only been more than two months, and he has caught up with him." The prince's male treasure."

Crown Prince Yan Xifeng was drugged to favor the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess gave birth to a baby boy four months ago and became the eldest grandson of Emperor Yan. The emperor's expectation, hope that Yan Guo will never die.

Emperor Yan knew that Yan Xifeng didn't like the child, so he continued to let Yan Linglong take care of him, and the crown princess and her son lived in the princess mansion.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is clamoring to take the Emperor's grandson back to the East Palace." Now that the Emperor's grandson was mentioned, Huazheng made the Crown Princess' request.

Yan Linglong sneered, and said: "Let her stay in the princess mansion honestly, and tell her that if she dares to go back to the East Palace, Yan Xifeng will dare to throw this evil son to death with her own hands. Let's see if she is willing to watch her son die young!"

"Yes!" Huazheng replied.

Yan Linglong asked again: "Have all the female officials and maids around her been bribed?"

Hua Zheng replied: "All of them are ours, Your Highness can rest assured."

Yan Linglong looked down at the son in her arms. He was enjoying his mother's embrace, and fell asleep peacefully, and couldn't help sighing.

Knowing Yan Linglong's plan, Huazheng hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "Your Highness really wants to do that? Once you let the son pretend to be the grandson of the emperor, it will be out of control."

"I understand, but this is a good move! Now the situation in the north is very clear. The state of Zhao will be destroyed by the state of Qin. Xia and Qin will divide the Qi River and rule. The two powerful countries will each get half of the territory of the state of Zhao. The territory of the Yan Kingdom will be recuperated, and its strength will be unprecedentedly strong. But how long will this rest and recuperation last? From now on, our country of Yan will face Xia and Qin. The two powerful enemies in the north are staring at each other. After the drought eases, it will inevitably attack in the coming year. How can the Yan Kingdom save itself when surrounded by powerful enemies? Although it has become a brother and ally with Xia Guo, how long will this alliance last? Three years, or five years?" Yan Linglong sighed.

"The crown prince is a lunatic. In order to avenge my father and her mother, he wanted to destroy the country of Zhao and let my father watch the country perish, but my father was still kept in the dark and didn't know the prince's tricks. Staying on Yanshan Mountain for the past few months, how many things have happened in Yandu! The four princes were all assassinated and killed. The murderers all said that it was the assassins of the Wei State, which caused the father to faint, but I know it must be Yanxifeng He wants to kill all the princes, he can boldly destroy no one competing with him for the crown prince, and the next person he wants to kill is me."

"That's why I'm going to take this step of pretending to be a secret game! My child becomes the grandson of the emperor, and Yanxifeng has no value in existence. Once he dies, there will be no other princes to inherit the throne. The grandson is the only candidate. At that time, I will be regent under the curtain, and I will support my child to become the emperor of Yan Kingdom!"

"While Yan State still has time, while Qin State and Xia State are afraid of each other to recuperate, while Yan State and Xia State's brotherly alliance is still very strong, while Yan State can still resist Wei State, this palace must do this, If you don’t work hard, there is really nothing.”

......

Huazheng sighed, feeling sorry for Yan Linglong.She has paid too much for this stormy country. If her plan is carried out, her child can only be called her aunt. How sad is this?

"Your Highness, after the letter from Kyoto last time, you didn't bother to reply. Do you need to tell Prince Xia about such an important matter? After all, he doesn't know that he has a son until now." Huazheng asked.

Yan Linglong shook her head and said with a smile: "You don't need to tell him. After telling him, he will definitely not agree, and he will even come to rob me in person. Let's talk about it in the future. Sooner or later, his princess will give birth to a son-in-law for him." .”

Huazheng didn't continue to dissuade her, because she knew that the princess had made up her mind.

"Qiye, Xiao Qiye, grow up quickly..." Yan Linglong coaxed the child with a motherly radiance on her face.

She and Xiao Rui's son was named Xiao Qiye.The seven characters are taken from Xiao Rui's Seventh Prince, and Ye... is the commemoration of Xiao Rui and her lingering night in the lake.

Chapter 546: To rectify the administration of officials needs to catch big fish!

Another new day.

In the early morning, Yang Feiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, finally reported to His Majesty the statistical results of all granaries across the country, a total of 42 million shi. Granary, the result of all statistics.

After getting this result, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty talked a lot at first, and heard a lot at first, but then they fell silent, and all the civil and military officials remained silent, because His Majesty's face was expressionless and there was no joy to speak of.

This shows that His Majesty is not happy, and if His Majesty is not happy, all officials will be afraid.

Xiao Rui glanced at Yang Feiyuan who was standing in the hall, sneered in his heart, exchanged glances with Li Mingchong next to him, and immediately sat upright.

Emperor Xia made great efforts to govern the country. In the middle ten years of governing the country, he rectified the administration of officials, land reform, etc., and the weather was beautiful. There were no major natural disasters in the country, so the people had a bumper harvest every year.

As the saying goes, if there is grain at home, don’t panic. When the grain harvest is abundant, His Majesty will naturally order to stockpile grain for emergencies. Therefore, all prefectures and counties have built four major local grain storage warehouses, and the central household department is naturally the same.

Therefore, according to Emperor Xia's estimation, the grain reserves of Daxia would be enough for the people of Daxia to consume for ten years!This is the foundation of the country!

But now, the figures reported by the Ministry of Household Affairs are not enough for ten years, at most six years!

The population of Daxia is 11663 million. If slaves, refugees, newborn babies, etc. are added, it is estimated that the actual number is more than 2 million, which can be calculated quickly if it is enough to feed for several years.

For a long time, Emperor Xia hadn't set his sights on grain storage. After all, it was for the purpose of storage, and it would not be used at all in the event of a catastrophe.But this is the basis for ensuring the country’s destiny. Once a long-term and large-scale disaster really occurs, the unfavorable consequences of fleeting years will be large-scale production cuts or even no crops, or large-scale wars, which may cause cliff-like disasters. Food is the magic needle for stabilizing the country.

It's just that I didn't expect that Emperor Xia's lack of attention would actually lead to corruption and bribery inside!

According to the statement submitted by the Ministry of Accounts, the major grain storages under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Accounts are acceptable, and the actual quantity counted is consistent with the accounts.However, there are very few granaries in prefectures and counties, and there are discrepancies between the accounts and the actual grain storage.

For example, there are only more than 180 million stored grains in the granary of Yangzhou Mansion. You must know that Yangzhou Mansion is among the top ten Shangshang Mansions among the more than 300 mansions in Daxia. What about the grain stored in the granary?

This is true for one Yangzhou prefecture, ten or a hundred prefectural prefectures, and the shortage of grain reserves has gathered into an astonishing number.

Moreover, the condition of these stored grains is not yet known. Many local officials will mix old beams that have rotted over the years, even chaff, and stones, and then collaborate with the inspectors from the Ministry of Households and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to open up Close one eye.The same is true for the local officials at the next level, so there are many ways in it.

"Yang Aiqing, is this the result of the Ministry of Households taking care of me?" Xia Huang's voice suddenly increased, and he shouted loudly.

Yang Feiyuan knelt on the ground immediately, and said respectfully: "I am guilty, please punish me!"

Emperor Xia said coldly: "You are the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Your fault lies in not being aware of the people you employ. It is not up to you to manage all the state government officials and granaries in Daxia. Where is the Censor of Zuodu?"

Du Shaonian immediately stepped forward: "My minister is here!"

Emperor Xia continued: "According to the list provided by the Ministry of Households, conduct a thorough investigation! No mercy! Anyone who eats it will spit it out! Dongchang and Jinyiwei fully cooperate with the Metropolitan Procuratorate! No mercy!"

"The humble minister leads the decree!" Du Shaonian responded.

His Majesty was furious, Daxia seemed to hide a lot of moths under the clean court, now let Dongchang and Jinyiwei cooperate with the investigation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, those corrupt officials are enough to drink a pot.

Then all the officials retreated.

On the way back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Xia suddenly asked with a smile, "Do you know why I know that there is something tricky about the grain storage, but I haven't checked it for so long?"
