Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Is this a plea?

Li Er was silent for a few seconds, and said, "In that case, let's close the case."

"I see that your son Zhang Shenji is seriously injured, so I won't punish you any more. Your wife, Mrs. Li, hiring murderers to kill people is a certainty. I will exile him for your meritorious service to the country."

"Liu Que's confession is in the Wannian county government. If he kills someone, he will pay with his life. He will be executed after autumn."

"As for you, you are also guilty of incompetent discipline, and you will be fined for one year."

Li Er said calmly, "Do you have any objections?"

Zhang Liang made a bow and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and I have no objection."

Li Er hummed, and stopped looking at him, but looked at the civil and military officials, and asked: "My dear friends, if you have something to do, let's play it early, and if there is nothing to do, let's go back to the court."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liang glanced at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Du Yan.

Du Yan coughed lightly, came out with a wooden wat in his hand, looked at Li Erdao solemnly, "Your Majesty, Du Yan, the official censor of Yushitai, has something to announce!"

Li Er nodded slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

Du Yan said solemnly: "What I want to say is related to the household department!"

Li Er looked startled, and said: "It's related to the Ministry of Households? What's the matter?"

Du Yan glanced at Du Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who cast puzzled eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Before I say this, I dare to ask Your Majesty, is there enough money in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty?"

Chapter 199 Baiguan Borrows Money and Doesn't Repay It

As soon as the words fell, muffled laughter suddenly sounded in the Tai Chi Hall.

The laughter came from all the officials in the hall.

All the officials looked at Du Yan. Isn't it clear that the money in the Tang treasury is enough?

Who would think they have too much money? !

No matter how much it is, it is not enough!

What's more, Datang is still waiting to be rebuilt, and money is needed everywhere.

But the money in the treasury is stretched, it is not enough!

If not for the fact that His Majesty asked the five surnames Qiwang to "donate" millions of guan a few days ago, the Ministry of Household Affairs would have been unable to open the pot for a long time.

Li Er also laughed, and said: "Du Qing, you are asking knowingly, what is the situation of my Tang treasury, as the imperial historian, you have the right to supervise, you should be more clear than me."

"Your Majesty is right."

Du Yan nodded emphatically, and said: "I do understand, I also know that a few days ago, there was an extra 140 million yuan in the treasury, and it was His Majesty who took the money from the inner government and put it into the account of the Ministry of Households."

Li Er was puzzled and said, "Du Qing, don't be mean and mean, just speak up if you have something to say, what do you want to say?"

Du Yan took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "What I want to say is that your Majesty does not need to take this money from the inner palace at all. The household department has money!"

"I have already checked in advance, the Ministry of Households has a full 800 million guan!"

As soon as the words fell, the Tai Chi Hall was instantly silent.

Everyone looked at him in astonishment.

Then he looked at Du Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Du Ruhui's mouth twitched.

Hubu has a fart of 800 million guan!

If there is money, how can I, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, know?

Facing the gazes cast by all the officials, Du Ruhui knew that he had to keep silent. How could such a big blame be put on his head?

He strode out, looked at Du Yan and said in a deep voice, "Doctor Du, how much money is in our Datang treasury, you can go and see!"

Du Yan shook his head and said: "Don't look at it, the 800 million coins are not in the household department at this time."

Du Ruhui frowned and said, "Then why did Doctor Du say that?"

Du Yan raised his head, looked at Li Er, cupped his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what I said is true, the household department does have 800 million guan, but the money has already been lent out, and the person who borrowed the money is the one standing in the hall." Hundreds of civil and military officials!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the civil and military officials changed slightly, and they looked at Du Yan sharply.

At this moment, they didn't know what Du Yan was going to do.

He is going to turn over the old score!

Let's talk about what happened during the Wude period!

Li Er squinted his eyes, also had some impressions, looked at Du Ruhui and asked, "Keming, is there such a thing?"

Du Ruhui was looking at Du Yan in disbelief.

Is he crazy?Dare to bring this up?

If you tell this matter, won't you be hated to death by civil and military officials? !

Hearing Li Er's inquiry, Du Ruhui hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "So that His Majesty will know that there is indeed such a thing."

"After the founding of my country in the Tang Dynasty, everything was destroyed, and none of the ministers who were officials in the court at that time could solve the problem."

"The Taishang Emperor ordered at that time that ministers who could not open the pot at home were allowed to borrow money from the household department to make ends meet."

Li Er frowned even tighter, "You mean, in nine years, the Ministry of Households has lent 800 million yuan?"

"Yes!" Du Ruhui whispered.

"Bastard!"

Li Er's expression was furious, he jumped up against the case, and shouted: "In nine years, no matter how much you borrow, you shouldn't have lent 800 million yuan!"

"How many officials are there in Beijing? Did each of them borrow [-] guan?"

"Are they borrowing money to live, or are they filling their own pockets? Ah?!"

Civil and military officials hurriedly bowed to the end, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Calm your anger?!" Li Er patted the desktop of the royal case, stared at them sharply, and said angrily, "I am so anxious about the treasury, I didn't expect that my Tang treasury is not short of money!"

"The money was borrowed!"

"Okay, well done!"

Li Er gritted his teeth and said: "If it's 20 to [-] guan, I can still figure it out, even if it's [-] to [-] guan, I can still figure it out."

"However, in nine years, 800 million coins have been borrowed from the national treasury. How can you make me think about it?"

"I believe that the original intention of the Supreme Emperor is good, and it is for the ministers in the family who can't get rid of the pot!"

"However, someone is filling their own pockets!"

Li Er glanced at all the civil and military officials, and his tone was a bit cold, "Did you all borrow money?"

All civil and military officials lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath.

They did borrow money.

And everyone has borrowed a lot.

But this is an unwritten rule in the court, if you don't borrow money, you will be ridiculed by your colleagues.

No one asked me for nine years. I didn't expect Du Yan to pierce the window paper today.

Li Er smiled angrily, seeing that Baiguan didn't say a word, he knew it was right, "Okay, very good."

"You say, what should I do?"

All civil and military officials remained silent, and no one dared to be the first to speak at this moment.

"Don't talk? Well, let me ask!"

Li Er snorted coldly, looked at Du Ruhui, and asked, "Keming, what do you think should be done?"

Du Ruhui was sweating coldly, what should I do?Even if I know it, I dare not say it!

To speak out is to offend civil and military officials!

Being stared at by Li Er, Du Ruhui gritted his teeth, bowed directly to the end, and said, "Your Majesty, as the Minister of the Household Department, this matter started from the Household Department, and I will die!"

Li Er frowned, slammed the table and shouted: "Who made you die? I'm asking you now, what should I do? Call me back!"

Du Ruhui gave a wry smile, knowing that it would be impossible not to say anything, he bit the bullet and said: "We should pursue the payment of the debt owed by all the officials."

"Yes, that's what I want to hear!"

Li Er looked at the civil and military ministers in the second class, stood up and said coldly: "800 million is not a small amount!"

"With this money, my Tang Dynasty will be flat this year, and I will be able to pass!"

"Keming is right. This money was lent to you by the imperial court. Kill people to pay for their lives, and pay for debts. You should pay back the money owed for nine years!"

"Among you, who would like to come to beg for money?"

"Stand up and take on this errand, I will reward you a lot!"

Li Er's voice resounded in the hall.

However, none of the ministers dared to stand up at this moment and take over this errand.

The civil and military officials lowered their heads and said silently in their hearts.

This is a hot potato, whoever picks it up will be unlucky!

In the court, which minister has never borrowed money?

Nine years have passed.

The borrowed money has already been spent!

At this time, the court wants to go back again?No money to give!

Knowing that you can't get money, but still accepting this errand, isn't this hitting the muzzle of the gun?

"What, is there no one?"

Seeing that no one dared to stand up, Li Er felt angry.

When you need to use your time, you all keep silent!

His eyes swept over Baiguan, and finally looked at Changsun Wuji.

"Wuji, tell me, who is suitable for this job?"

Li Er asked lightly.

With a quick swipe, all civil and military officials looked at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji came out, bowed slightly to Li Er, and then said with a smile: "I think that among the officials in the capital, there is indeed one person who is qualified for this position."

"This person's name is Zhang Dun!"

Chapter 200 Zhang Dun has to accept this errand

Hearing the name Zhang Dun, Li Er frowned, and looked up and down at Changsun Wuji.

Immediately, he looked at Du Yan who was standing with his hands down indifferently, and smiled angrily.

Going around, it turned out to be aimed at Zhang Dun?

It's no wonder that the old accounts that no one has turned over all these years have been turned up by Du Yan today.

He played it today.

Someone ordered it!

Who is instigating?Zhang Liang?No, Zhang Liang had this thought, and he didn't dare to mention it at this time.

Moreover, being able to instruct Du Yan...

Li Er squinted his eyes and looked at Changsun Wuji. Was he blaming me for letting him take the blame yesterday?

Or did he have this plan in the first place?

No matter what it was, Li Er knew that Changsun Wuji had mentioned Zhang Dun at this time, so he was sure that Li Er would find ways to recover the 800 million guan owed by the officials to the court.
