After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

In just one day, Yun Zhihan listed the local tyrants and the greedy county magistrates behind them in the counties closest to Shangjing. There were a total of more than a dozen people, distributed in six counties.

"Yuan'er, as far as I know, if you can defeat these people, you can get at least several million taels of silver."

"So much?" Bai Yuan was shocked. He had never seen so much silver in his life.

"Yeah." These were all the numbers that Yun Zhihan underestimated. These county magistrates and bullies oppressed the people in various ways and robbed the government of disaster relief funds. They were simply unforgivable crimes.

"According to the laws of the Great Zhou, these people are guilty of capital crimes, but in this special period, you can give them another way out."

"Thank you, mother. You have worked so hard these days. Not only have you been busy with my wedding, but you have also been helping me with court affairs. I have no way to repay you. Please accept my greetings."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Yun Zhihan helped him up and took out another account book. "This records the hiding places of these people's money. If they refuse to admit it, you don't have to panic."

"How did mother know this?" Bai Yuan wondered more than once whether his mother had supernatural powers.

"Well, this is a long story. Anyway, Mom got it through her own connections and means. You can just use it."

Tongzi is her smart phone, so she can just go to Tongzi for these little gossips.

Bai Yuan was deeply shocked. His mother was omnipotent. He even felt that if his mother left them, she might be better off.

"Thank you, mother. I will definitely be happy in the future."

"You too." Yun Zhihan didn't say much. She asked her eldest son to go to the palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late.

Bai Yuan took the account book and turned back to the princess's mansion. He needed Yu'er to go to the palace with him.

"Yu'er."

"Prince Consort, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

"Sit down, Yu'er. I have something to tell you."

Seeing the solemn expression of the prince consort, Murong Yu also became serious, "Did something happen at home? Or does mother need something?"

Bai Yuan shook his head and said, "Neither. The establishment of the Xie family army requires a large amount of money, which cannot be paid from the Ministry of War. The emperor can only pay a part of it, and the rest of the money needs to be borne by the Xie family themselves."

Murong Yu immediately understood and said, "It's okay. I still have some dowry here. If you need it, just take it."

"Yu'er, you misunderstood. How can a grown man like me live on your money? Mother has discussed a solution with the three of us."

So he showed the results of the Xie family's discussion and the account books in his hand to the eldest princess.

Murong Yu thought this method was great. Not only could it reduce the pressure on the court, but it could also suppress these bugs and allow the people to vent their anger. It was killing two birds with one stone.

"My dear, this is a great idea."

"Princess, do you think so? But the emperor may not think so. Moreover, once this is carried out, my reputation will be in the court, I am afraid..."

"Then the princess will also suffer with me. Would you mind?"

Murong Yu leaned in his arms and said gently, "Don't worry, Prince Consort. You and I are husband and wife, and we share honor and disgrace. What's more, we are doing this for the sake of the world and the people. We have an open mind, so why should we care about other people's bad words?"

Xie Boyuan hugged her tightly and said with emotion, "Yu'er, are you really not afraid? Those county magistrates and bullies who have been exposed are likely to retaliate."

"Isn't this easy? I'll go and ask the Emperor to increase the number of troops to protect the Princess's residence. I don't believe that a mere ninth-rank official can rebel."

"Thank you for your support, Princess. Shall we go to the palace together?"

"it is good."

The two men did not dare to hesitate at all. They prepared the carriage and rushed towards the palace.

Qianqing Palace.

Murong Yan was worrying about the war in the south. At the same time, the county lord and the Prince of Dongyue would be leaving Beijing in a few days, and the Xie family army had just been formed.

Although General Zheng's military training was proceeding intensively, the soldiers' combat effectiveness improved slowly.

These things made him extremely anxious, and he hadn't slept well for several days.

In addition, the national treasury suffered serious losses and the Ministry of War could not get any money. If this continued, the soldiers would inevitably become passive and their morale would decline.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Chunzi came to report.

"What's the matter?"

"The eldest princess and her husband came to the palace to ask for an audience."

"Xuan!"

"Yes."

After a while, two people came in and paid their respects.

"How come the elder sister and the prince consort have time to come here?"

Xie Baiyuan saw the fatigue on Murong Yan's face and knew that he was also worried about training troops.

"I have something to discuss with Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please take a look at these two account books first."

The emperor took the account book, flipped through a few pages, and asked, not quite understanding, "What do you mean, Prince Consort? These are all ninth-rank officials. You are the Minister of Personnel, so you can make the decision."

Murong Yan still had a hint of complaint in his heart. This Minister Xie was becoming more and more ignorant. He had to trouble me with such a small matter. Couldn't I help him share the burden?

Xie Boyuan explained, "Your Majesty, I do not want to sentence them to death. I want to punish them in another way."

After that, the two of them recounted the whole story.

The emperor put down the account book in his hand after hearing this, thought for a moment and said, "This is a very good method. Did the prince consort come up with it?"

"Your Majesty, this is the result of the Xie family's collective brainstorming and joint discussion."

"Good!" The emperor was delighted. "I grant you the Imperial Sword and fully support your approach. Just go ahead and do it."

"I thank your majesty. However, I am afraid that my reputation will be ruined if this incident happens. I hope that the emperor can send some troops to the princess's mansion to protect her, for the sake of the princess."

Murong Yan frowned and said, "I want to see who is so bold as to go against my elder sister and her husband? Minister Xie, rest assured, I am here to support you, just do it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Murong Yu suggested, "Your Majesty, I would like to borrow someone from you."

"Speak, elder sister."

"Can the Lord of the Imperial Observatory go with Minister Xie?"

"The Imperial Observatory?" Murong Yan asked curiously, "Why did my elder sister bring him there?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the people are superstitious. The Imperial Observatory can focus the contradictions on corrupt officials and bullies, and also promote your Majesty's good name."

"Eldest sister is smart, I approve!"

With the emperor's strong support, Xie Boyuan felt more relaxed.

"My dear, I want to go with you."

"Princess, no. I'm going there to offend people. If I hurt you, how can I face His Majesty?"

"No! We are husband and wife, we should go together. Besides, I am worried about you being away for so long. Instead of being worried at home, I would rather stay by your side."

The face of her prince consort was too easy to make people think of impure things, so she had to keep an eye on him, as she felt uneasy.

Seeing that she was very persistent, Bai Yuan did not refuse. At most he could send more people to follow her.

"Okay, let's go together."
