Reborn after being deposed, he takes the deposed prince to seize his ex-husband’s kingdom

When he discovered that the difference in amount was large, Xuanyuan Haoyu knew where someone had been embezzled, and then followed the clues to investigate.

This investigation was so fun. I accidentally found out that the Situ family was actually evading taxes. In the Xuanyuan Dynasty, it was not surprising that ministers had fertile land and manors, but they also had to pay taxes!

But this Situ family actually paid less than [-]% of the tax, and they also lied about the number of fertile fields!

Not only the Situ family, but also many officials paid less, which is tantamount to tax evasion.

Xuanyuan Haoyu followed the lead and got the account book of their manor's fertile land production, and then compared it with their tax records, made a good record, and calculated how much less they paid!

Looking at the evidence compiled in his hand, he thought of the recent rumors that Concubine Rong seemed to be interested in choosing a concubine for King Rui in the Situ family.

A trace of hatred flashed in Xuanyuan's eyes. These ministers had been trying to flatter him before, and they were even willing to send their own daughters to the prince's mansion.

Now seeing that he has lost power, everyone is getting ready to make a move, and they still dare to find a new home. Do they really think that the prince is just a decoration?

Morning morning!

Xuanyuan Haoyu couldn't wait to speak as soon as he went to court.

"Father, I have something to report..."

Emperor Xuanyuan was surprised when he saw this. The prince had been slacking off every day in the past few days. If he hadn't seen that he was very easy to control, he might have felt that he was really unsuitable for the position of prince. Something happened today. It’s time to play!

"Prince, what do you want to report?"

Xuanyuan Haoyu hurriedly cupped his hands after hearing this.

"Going back to my father, this year's harvest has ended, and taxes have been collected one after another. I think you have seen the memorial, but every year during the harvest there will be some corrupt officials who do not know how to live or die.

As the prince, I naturally have to supervise the situation well. After all, corruption and taxation by officials also have a certain impact on the people!So these days, Erchen has been busy checking tax matters and occasionally takes leave! "

The ministers' expressions changed slightly when they heard this, and they all communicated with the ministers who had a close relationship with them with their eyes.

Will the prince really find out something?

King Rui, who was standing in front of the minister, sneered, bah, how dare you say that you are busy verifying tax matters?If the imperial brother hadn't arranged for someone to lead you to get that thing in your hand, with your little ability, you wouldn't have known it was the year of the monkey and the month of the horse by the time you found it?

Emperor Xuanyuan opened his mouth in surprise!

"Oh, Prince, do you mean you found something?"

Xuanyuan Haoyu cupped his hands after hearing this.

"Father, naturally some people have embezzled some taxes, but in terms of the amount, it is not very serious. The most serious thing is that my son found out that some people actually paid less taxes!"

Emperor Xuanyuan spoke in confusion upon hearing this.

"Pay less tax?"

Seeing Emperor Xuanyuan's confusion, Xuanyuan Haoyu continued to speak.

"Yes, I have discovered that among the ministers, there are many officials who own thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, but the taxes paid are less than one-third of the harvest. This is obvious tax evasion."

As soon as Xuanyuan Haoyu said these words, several ministers in the court were shocked.

Then he felt that he was not the one he was talking about. After all, he still had a daughter in the prince's mansion. The prince's current situation couldn't really kill his relatives out of justice, right?

The fact is that the prince really wants to kill his relatives out of justice.

Xuanyuan Haoyu took out several account books and attached corresponding memorials.

"Father, this is what I have temporarily found. This is the account book of Situ's family, Gu's family, and Qian's family's fertile land this year, as well as the total tax paid by them. In comparison, they only paid [-]%. Please ask Father to take a look at your tax!"

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xuanyuan motioned to the eunuch beside him to come down and present it!

Mr. Situ, Mr. Gu, and Mr. Qian had expressions of disbelief. If they were entrusted with a job, they would be considered the prince's father-in-law. The prince actually checks his own taxes. Doesn't he want to support him?

At the same time, I was also a little anxious. The prince wouldn't really find out anything, would he?

Emperor Xuanyuan on the dragon throne looked at the memorial and account book in his hand!

The ministers are not hated by the emperor.

a long time.

Emperor Xuanyuan threw the memorial and account book down with a gloomy expression in front of the courtiers.

"Situ Qing, Gu Shu, Qian Huai, what else do you have to say?"

Several people hurriedly knelt down when they saw this.

"Emperor calm down!"

Then he quickly picked up the account books and memorials on the ground with his eyes and hands!

My heart skipped a beat, the prince actually found it?

After seeing the above content, several people's expressions were extremely bad. It's a pity that one of their own will be damaged again!

Situ Qing's mind was spinning very fast and he hurriedly knelt down and held his hands.

"Your Majesty, I don't know where the Crown Prince got this account book. This account book is indeed inconsistent with the amount of taxes paid in the memorial, but I don't know if this account book is true or false?

After all, Weichen is busy with official duties every day, and the farmland in this family is taken care of by his wife and the stewards of Zhuangzi. He also asked the emperor to allow Weichen to go back and find out if it was true that the Situ family was careless.

Or maybe the stewards under his command, acting in a shady manner, took away the taxed food, and the minister immediately made up for all the taxed money. "

Gu Shu also spoke hastily.

"Your Majesty, Master Situ is right. We have to go to court every day and have to deal with work. The affairs of this family must be left to the servants. Wei Chen is not sure whether this account book belongs to Wei Chen's family. So I ask the emperor to allow Wei Chen to go home and investigate!"

Qian Huai also hurriedly handed over his hand.

"The two adults are right. Your Majesty, has Wei Chen seen this account book? I don't know where His Highness the Prince got it from. I would like to ask Your Majesty to let Wei Chen identify whether it belongs to Wei Chen's family!

Just like Lord Situ said, if it is really the Weichen family who accidentally missed the payment, Weichen will make up for it immediately! "

Xuanyuan Haoyu spoke angrily when he saw that the evidence was solid and several people were still making such quibbles.

"You gentlemen are very eloquent, but in the face of such irrefutable evidence, you actually have reasons to excuse yourself! Is this account book the most clear to your family? It would be better to waste less time just by looking at it. Just admit it!" "

Seeing that the prince ignored the relationship between the two families, Situ Qing also looked at him and said.

"Then I dare to ask Your Highness the Prince where this account book comes from? Your Highness the Prince, how can you prove that this account book belongs to the Situ family! It is impossible for Your Highness to just take out an account book and say that it belongs to the Situ family. Besides, The Situ family is involved in corruption, tax evasion and so on! The Situ family must admit it, right?"

Gu Shu also spoke at the side.

"His Royal Highness, since Your Highness insists on saying that this account book belongs to our family, then please tell us clearly, where did this account book come from? Was it taken from Wei Chen's home?

If not, then why do we say this account book belongs to our family? "
