Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Qianghua continued to tighten the skins of the others and then came down to face them.

When the civil and military officials were leaving, a chamberlain came to the eldest prince, Marquis Liuning, with a smile on his face, leaned down and said respectfully: "Marquis Dingning, Your Majesty invites you."

The sound was not loud, but it was enough to reach the ears of all the officials who had not dispersed, especially the other marquises. At this moment, they heard that Marquis Dingning was summoned by the emperor. They all stopped and looked over, with probing eyes, wanting to know about Marquis Dingning. Why were you summoned?

Marquis Dingning looked at the servant in front of him, his eyes darkened, "Lead the way."

Yanhe Hall.

When Marquis Dingning stepped into the palace, he saw Prince Cheng who was looking at him.

"I have met your Majesty." Marquis Dingning stood still in the palace, bowed his hands and bowed.

Fortunately, Jing Chao was not in the mood to kneel down, Marquis Dingning thought.

"No gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

What happened in more than three months was enough for Ding Ninghou and others to wake up.

At least he was respectful on the face of it.

Qianghua: "Prince Cheng, let Marquis Ning take a look at what you found out."

Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng handed the two booklets he was holding to Marquis Dingning, seemingly impatient.

Marquis Dingning took it and took a look. One was an account book and the other was the prices of various items in the market.

The prices quoted between the two are more than a hundred times different!

Marquis Dingning was not slow-minded. After reading through it, he quickly understood what roses meant, but... he frowned slightly.

Qianghua: "Does Marquis Dingning know why I called you here?"

What else could it mean to make a knife?

The relationship within the inner government is complicated...

Wait, it seems that those officials have fallen into a headless state due to the death of the former emperor's concubines. If we deal with it now, it will take some effort but it will not be difficult.

It's all the damn old man's fault!

Marquis Dingning cursed in his heart.

He didn't want to wade through this muddy water, let alone to stabilize the position of the new imperial capital, so he wanted to refuse immediately.

Prince Cheng next to him coughed twice when he saw this: "Ahem -"

From the corner of his eyes, Marquis Dingning caught sight of Prince Cheng seeming to wink at him, his words of rejection stuck between his lips and teeth.

Prince Cheng really wanted to cry in his heart. After two dynasties, he had never seen an emperor who did whatever he wanted without respecting martial ethics.

Not working for her?

Then get ready to go home and eat your own!

"Your Majesty, please make it clear." Marquis Dingning replied with his hands raised, his tone still a bit unconvinced.

Qianghua raised her eyebrows: "Prince Cheng, Marquis Dingning is not as sharp-sighted as you suggested. He can't even see such superficial flaws and is of no use..."

As soon as the four words "unfit for use" came out, both Prince Cheng and Marquis Dingning were shocked!

In the eyes of the superiors, having these four words marked on the inferiors means that they are about to be isolated from the center of power. After all, no one would want to appoint an unusable person.

Marquis Dingning clenched his fists, looking angry but had to endure it.

Prince Cheng had regrets on his face. If he had known that he would not have cared about the friendship between Marquis Dingning and his princess, who were from the same clan. This recommended person would not be useful, and his recommender would have to be someone who does not know the person. From the beginning!

"Your Majesty, I think the time was too short and Marquis Dingning was not able to think carefully about the reasons. Please give Marquis Dingning one more chance."

Qianghua casually looked at the memo in her hand and said calmly: "In that case, you two go out to talk, and then come in after you have thought clearly."

Prince Cheng did not dare to ask Marquis Dingning what to do if he didn't know what to do, so he quickly raised his hands and saluted: "I excuse myself."

After saying that, he winked at the stunned Marquis Dingning.

Marquis Dingning thought of the pain of his broken leg, suppressed the anger rising in his heart, and said, "I will leave."

The two of them left Yanhe Hall and walked along the eaves.

After turning a corner, Prince Cheng's face suddenly turned cold, "Marquis Dingning, take a closer look at these two booklets!"

Marquis Dingning snorted coldly: "Don't you just want me to be the knife in his hand to deal with the moths in the inner palace?"

He was a little angry.

"Stupid!" Prince Cheng cursed angrily in a low voice, "It's not unfair for you to lose to His Majesty!"

"you--"

"Did you know that everyone in the government is corrupt?!" Prince Cheng raised his hand to interrupt him.

Seeing her expression of "who else could she be but the concubine in the harem?", he said with a hatred of iron and steel: "Forget it, it's your mother's fault for not having time to explain to you!"

Prince Cheng: "The most corrupt servant in the inner palace is apparently a member of the third... former empress, but in fact he is a confidant of your mother's concubine! He is a member of your mother's Wang family!

And His Majesty has already found out! "

Prince Cheng: "Why do you think I recommended you to deal with it? I don't want you to redeem yourself! This is also the grace given to you by Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is to clean up the corruption in the inner government, His Majesty's temperament that cannot be rubbed will inevitably Involving the Wang family!"

Prince Cheng: "When the time comes, I'm afraid the Wang family will have to shed a layer of skin!"

"He dares?!" Marquis Dingning was furious, his voice rising unconsciously.

Prince Cheng covered Marquis Dingning's mouth in a panic, "Keep your voice down! Your Majesty's spies are everywhere in this palace now!"

"Just think about it, where are all the officials who are against His Majesty?!"

Marquis Dingning said angrily: "The head of the Wang family is a minister!"

Prince Cheng: "So what?! Do you think His Majesty dare not move?!"

Their Majesty is not an aboveboard person!

Thinking of those officials who had disappeared, Marquis Dingning walked around in circles angrily: "Shameless! Despicable!"

Prince Cheng sneered: "Marquis Dingning, among those who are famous in this officialdom, which one is not shameless? Which one is not despicable? Which one is not cruel?"

"This is what I have said. What happens to the Wang family depends on your choice!"

So what options do you have?

If Marquis Dingning doesn't go, Qianghua will ask the other marquis to go. Presumably, they will be happy to chop off Marquis Dingning's arms.

Seeing the two people returning to the palace and accepting the task honestly, Qianghua nodded with satisfaction, "Don't let me down, you two."

What else can happen to Prince Cheng and Marquis Dingning? No matter how reluctant I was, I could only nod.

So the inner government began to carry out drastic reforms.

The people from Qianghua took the opportunity to take over and presented to her the management rules that had been completed long ago.

Qianghua expressed her satisfaction, and then waved her hand to let them occupy the most important position in the inner palace.

Prince Cheng and Marquis Dingning, who were burdened with the infamy of reform: "..."

There is a lot of corruption in the government. Eggs worth two cents are quoted at three hundred cents each, let alone other expensive items.

Even though Prince Cheng and Marquis Dingning knew that if the water was clear, there would be no fish, they couldn't help but feel frightened.

While he was angry that the people in his palace were greedy, he was also angry at being deceived by his servants.

Qianghua didn't care what they were thinking, all the money obtained from the internal corruption investigation went into her private treasury.

She was not stingy either and gave Prince Cheng and Marquis Dingning a bonus of 50,000 taels each.

It's a drop in the bucket compared to what she makes.

Prince Cheng and Marquis Dingning were paralyzed with the banknotes in their hands.

Fifty thousand taels is the income of their entire industry for two years!

Without fighting, it can support 10,000 elite soldiers for more than two months!

If he were raised as a first-class soldier, it would even last longer...

At this point, Prince Cheng and Marquis Dingning were breathing heavily and decided to go back and search their homes!

On the other side, Sun Shangshu, who learned that the imperial government had confiscated a lot of money, came over smelling the smell of money.
