wealthy queen

"It's only suspicious if there is no problem."

Pei Yuanlie shook his head, facing their seemingly more puzzled gazes, he further explained: "The account books of the Ministry of Accounts are perfectly done, Lao Wu and Xiao Qi and I have been looking at them for a long time without finding any flaws. It is clear at a glance how much money the government has allocated and how many people have been saved. Just because it is too careful and perfect, I think it is a bit unreal, and it is 100 million taels of silver, which is not a small amount. After the distribution, there are still people who freeze to death However, there are quite a few of them, how can this be explained?"

Although this winter is cold, the people are not affected by large areas of disasters. Some wealthy counties don’t even need disaster relief. One million taels of silver can already do a lot of things. It shouldn’t be the case that people freeze to death. It was so perfect, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see the difference for a while.

"It's indeed a bit suspicious. Let Lao Wu study it carefully. The ship will leave traces. If there is indeed corruption, with Lao Wu's ability, he should be able to find the flaw."

Pei Yuanfeng nodded after thinking for a while. They all knew the truth that when the water was clear, there would be no fish. Few of the officials dared to say that they had never been corrupt and bribery. Small bribes are harmless. Turn a blind eye, but disaster relief money is the life-saving money of the people, and there must be no corruption or bribery.

"Well, I have already asked Lao Wu to bring back the account book."

Chu Li is the best at doing this among them, and he also believes that he will be able to find out clearly, but this matter should not be delayed for too long, Pei Yuanlie turned his head and said to Shen Liang: "Liangliang, I remember Yuan Shao is the Nether Dark Guard who is responsible for keeping accounts, right? Lend him to me for a few days?"

Not only Yuan Shao, he also sent a secret order to Murong Yu, asking him to send special personnel to the Chu Palace to assist the fifth child, and must track down the whereabouts of the relief money in the shortest possible time.

"Yuan Shao, have you heard everything?"

Summoning Yuan Shao with a flick of a finger, Shen Liang looked at him indifferently.

"Yes, my lord."

Yuan Shao clasped his fists and bowed, and said in a deep voice after finishing the work: "Your Majesty, you can't just check the account books when investigating disaster relief funds. It is best to send people to the county government where the account records are distributed to verify one by one. By the way, sending imperial envoys will freeze to death. Conduct open and unannounced visits to places and collect information from the people, although it takes a little time and effort, it can more accurately ascertain the truth."

Professionals are not ordinary, and suddenly everyone present has a feeling of enlightenment. It's not that they are stupid, they can't think of this, but they are in the position of giving orders all the year round. As far as this kind of thing is concerned, there is no one who specializes in this area. That's all for Yuan Shao.

"Okay, you go out of the palace to Prince Chu's mansion immediately, discuss it with Lao Wu and Murong, and send people to various county houses for verification, and the imperial envoy here will arrange it."

Exchanging glances with Pei Yuanfeng and Shen Liang respectively, Pei Yuanlie ordered in a concentrated voice that Lu Mengrao's matter had been settled, and it was time to send Xia Moyan to subdue the people.

"Yes."

Yuan Shao disappeared from their sight, Pei Yuanlie and his wife chatted with Pei Yuanfeng and his wife for a while, and returned to their bedroom after a while.

In the dead of night, when the surging passion came to an end, Shen Liang leaned against Pei Yuanlie's arm in his arms, a little weak, and there was still a strong smell of sex in the air of the whole bedroom.

"The matter of Lu Shuren is a wake-up call for all officials, but at the same time my hole cards are almost exposed. No one should dare to openly oppose me in the future, but they must still be dissatisfied in their hearts. What's going on, Yun Lie, I'm going to leave the palace in two days to re-operate our side business in Qin. Only when I get full affirmation can I avoid those unnecessary collisions. If possible, I I want to lead the troops back to Qin with you as soon as possible."

After resting for a while, Shen Liang got up and lay on his chest, his eyes were firm, Qin State and their relatives and friends, the people are still living in dire straits, and most of the princes in this life are already dead, There is only one seventh prince left who can compete with Qin Yunshen. Although he emptied his belongings when he left, there is no guarantee that he will do something crazy on impulse. They must stabilize the government of Xia Kingdom as soon as possible and raise their troops Go to Qin State.

"Just do what you want. You don't have to worry about things in the court. No matter how dissatisfied those ministers are, it's useless. After all, the military power is basically concentrated in our own hands. They are at most instigating people's hearts, but it's not easy to incite people's hearts. The instigator, now the more troublesome ones are Chen and Bei. Once we send troops to Qin, they may increase their troops at any cost to invade. At that time, we will definitely be overwhelmed. I was thinking recently, before taking back Qin, is it right? Let’s destroy Chen Guo and Bei Guo first. With our current military strength, we can barely destroy one country. It will be difficult for the two countries, and the national strength can’t support it. I am afraid that the ones who are destroyed will become us."

After all, Beiguo and Chenguo are both one of the five big nations, and there are quite a few small affiliated countries to support them. It is very difficult to completely destroy them with the strength of Xiaguo's family alone. Now it is not easy for them to resist their attack on Qin. that's it.

"Well, if you want to destroy them, you must do it at the same time. If you only concentrate your forces against one of the countries, the other country will definitely not stand by and watch. It is impossible for Beichen and Chen Zhiyuan to not understand the reason why the state of Wei has not yet stabilized. I don't know how long Yunxi will take. If the state of Wei stabilizes, not only will they be able to send troops with us, but the Wei family army will also be able to deploy more troops to balance the civil strife in the state of Qin, so that we can devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the northern state. In the battle with Chen Guo, once these two shit sticks are resolved, our army will be able to point directly at Qin State as soon as we turn around."

Shen Liang nodded in agreement, now the key has become Wei Guo, if Fu Yunxi can destroy Wei Hongxuan as soon as possible to stabilize the government of Wei Guo, not to mention sending troops to attack Chen Guo, which is relatively close to them, and help them contain Chen Guo, They won't be in a dilemma like they are now, but it's better for them to take Qin State first and then deal with Chen State and Bei State, because only in this way can the original land of Xia State and the land of Chu State occupied by them be connected and unified. In the Qin State, the Wei Family Army can also be used by them as a matter of course.

"Just wait and see, we also need time to accumulate stronger national power."

They can't pin all their hopes on Wei Guo, the most important thing is to improve their own strength.

"Well, go to bed early, I won't go to court tomorrow."

Getting up at less than [-] o'clock for two consecutive days is undoubtedly a huge torture for Shen Liang who is used to sleeping in. He will never go again no matter what.

"Hehe... Tomorrow I will change the morning time to Chenshi."

With a petty chuckle, Pei Yuanlie leaned over to help him tuck the corner of the quilt, lowered his head and kissed his forehead before hugging him and closing his eyes.

"Um……"

Shen Liang nodded in a daze in his arms, his sleeping condition was quite good, once he entered the drowsy mode, he would soon become drowsy, like now, his breathing stabilized after a short while, Pei Yuan Lie opened his eyes to look at him, a slight smile crept up his lips, and stroked his eyebrows with some distress, it was really hard work for him during this time.

Lu Xiang suffered a sudden disaster, and the emperor began to investigate the disaster relief situation of the household department again. In the morning court of the next day, there was no sound at all in the Golden Luan Hall. The matter of the prime minister has made the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty clearly aware of the hegemony of the monarchy.

At the same time, the rumors about the Empress Shen Liang, which had been spread vividly and vividly, disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by praises of the empress and insults and crusades against the Lu family. The situation was reversed overnight.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

In order to find out the real whereabouts of the disaster relief money as soon as possible, Pei Yuanlie summoned Xia Moyan immediately. Lin Yiqing and Lan Yunchan in the imperial study couldn't help covering their mouths and chuckling, the second son of the Deqin County Prince's Mansion was indeed quite different from the rumors.

"You all step back."

Glancing at him lazily, Pei Yuanlie raised his hand and waved back to the left and right. Xia Moyan didn't feel embarrassed, and went straight to Lan Yunchan's lower head and sat down, clasping fists with Lan Yunchan and Lin Yiqing respectively.

"You should know about Lu Mengrao. I will take back the imperial decree of marriage later on and declare your marriage contract void. I have done what I promised you. Mo Yan, it's your turn to repay me."

When there were only a few of them left in the imperial study room, Pei Yuanlie's eyes finally looked over. He had business to look for him today, and he didn't have time to talk to him.

"Your Majesty, please order."

Xia Moyan wasn't stupid either, he swung his left and right back, the things to be entrusted to him were obviously very important, and he didn't dare to smile with them anymore, his expression became more serious.

"Recently, the county government has often reported that this winter was cold and many people died of freezing. I suspect that the relief money distributed three months ago has not been implemented. I need an imperial envoy to replace my Weifu and go to the people to find out the truth. Mo Yan, there is no one more suitable than you."

Pei Yuanzheng didn't bother him, and went directly to the topic. He chose Xia Moyan not only because he saw the value, but also because of his bad reputation. Even if he disappeared in the imperial city, no one would notice. arrive.

"Just an imperial envoy?"

He thought that he was going to take the opportunity to squeeze him, but he didn't expect that he was just sent for a private visit in disguise, this job was tailor-made for him, it was very suitable for him.

"Do you think you are suitable to sit in court?"

He could see through his thoughts at a glance, and Pei Yuanlie's eyes were full of disgust. He didn't worry about whether he was fit to sit in court. What he worried about was that he would cry to him when he saw Tian'er in the future, and he would be annoyed to death by him.

"Haha...Your Majesty, you know your younger brother very well."

Xia Moyan raised his head and laughed, for the emperor's understanding, and also for his carefree life in the rest of his life.

"Don't argue with me. This matter is of great importance and there must be no mistakes. In addition, the new disaster relief policy proposed by the empress has been delegated. During this trip, you can take a look at the implementation of the county governments. If there is any emergency, send someone immediately Eight hundred li urgent and secret report."

The affairs of the people are greater than the sky, and Pei Yuanlie does not allow the slightest accident.

"Yes, my brother obeys!"

Sweeping away the indecency before, Xia Moyan stood up, clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee cautiously. Pei Yuanlie picked up the secret decree written on the Dragon Case and handed it out: "If you encounter corrupt officials who oppress the people, you will be given money before the disaster relief money." Those who have nothing to do with the matter can be punished on the spot, beheaded first and played later!"

"Yes."

Stepping forward to receive the secret decree with both hands, Xia Moyan raised his head: "It's not too late, my brother will go back and pack up, and we'll leave later."

Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the affairs of the common people are much more important than the family reunion during the Chinese New Year. As a member of the royal family, no matter how dishonest he is, he still has an innate sense of responsibility to the world and the people.

"Well, remember, the identity of the imperial envoy should not be exposed at will."

"Yes."

Finally bowed again, Xia Moyan put away the secret decree, turned around and was about to leave, Lan Yunchan, who had already received Pei Yuanlie's order, stood up, "Mo Yan, don't you mind walking with Ben?"

He wants to tell him in detail about the route of his micro server.

"Of course, Mr. Lan, please!"

Knowing that he must have something to tell him, Xia Moyan made a gesture of invitation, and the two left the imperial study together.
