Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 76: What Li Shimin wants to announce

Li Shimin said in a steady voice: "In May and June of this year, there was a severe drought outside the customs. I desperately squeezed life-saving money from the treasury to distribute it, hoping to reduce the casualties of the people. However, things did not seem to follow me. Develop like you thought........"

On the imperial steps, the emperor spoke unhurriedly, while in the shadow on the right side of the hall, two young men stood quietly. If Li Xin was present at the moment, he should be able to barely recognize the identities of these two people with the help of the unclear light in the hall-it was Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan who had gone to the Chu Palace for advice on double-entry bookkeeping and Dashi writing.

"Brother Cui, it sounds like it's almost our turn to play." Wang Wenjian's voice sounded a little emboldened.

Cui Wenyuan smiled palely and said, "Yes."

Wang Wenjian was silent for a while, and said, "If we really come out for a while, we will have no retreat."

Cui Wenyuan glanced at Wang Wenjian and said, "It sounds like we have a way out now. Do you think we have other choices?"

Wang Wenjian did not answer, and the smile on his face gradually became more bitter.

"Your Majesty's chess move is indeed exquisite. You and I have no room for resistance at all, only obediently playing chess pieces." Cui Wenyuan seemed to be talking to Wang Wenjian next to him, but also seemed to feel self-consciously.

Wang Wenjian nodded and said, "It is the most acceptable situation for the two of us to uncover this matter. The family can still be somewhat decent."

Cui Wenyuan sneered and said: "This decentness is probably in your majesty's calculations."

That day, the two of them were sent to the Chu Palace to learn from Li Xin the double-entry bookkeeping method and Da Shi writing. After completing their studies, the citizens of the road gave them two orders: First, teach the double-entry bookkeeping method and Da Shiwen to all other officials of the Ministry of Households of Grade 6 or above, and in the future, the general ledger of the household department will use the double-entry bookkeeping method and Great eclipse written records; second, a thorough investigation and settlement of all accounts generated during this year’s disaster relief.

Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan didn't think so much at the beginning. They only felt that they were favored by Li Shimin and were about to be reused. They naturally worked hard. Unexpectedly, after they taught the other officials of the household department and followed them to liquidate the accounts of this year's disaster relief, they discovered that they had unexpectedly fallen into a quagmire without knowing it—

They found out that 20% of the money and food used for disaster relief this year were not at all right, which meant that they were "missing". And most of these problematic accounts came from Shandong and Hebei—it was the home base of Wang and Cui.

The spearhead was directed at the Wang clan of Taiyuan and the Cui clan of Boring. You should know that most officials in Shandong and Hebei come from these two great families. Even if they are not directly or off-line children, they must have some kind of in-law relationship with these two families.

Any official who is not from these two aristocratic families is sent to these two places. If he does not go to the Bye-bye Wharf for the first time to make a good relationship, his political career will be over-his up, down, left, and right are related to the Cui family and the Wang family. It is naturally difficult for him to get along with an extraordinary relationship.

Therefore, the intensive detection of a large number of problematic accounts in these two places, the Wang clan of Taiyuan and the Cui clan of Boring must not be able to get rid of the relationship. Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan almost immediately realized the fact that they got into the trap set by Li Shimin.

If only the two of them checked the accounts, they might be able to choose to wipe out the criminal evidence for the officials at all levels related to their family after a fierce ideological struggle about "justice" and "family". However, they happened to have first taught the household officials to eat text and double-entry bookkeeping before they followed up this year's accounts together.

The internal relations of the officials of the Ministry of Households are more complicated than those of Shandong and Hebei. At least they are definitely not to the extent that the Cui family and the Wang family cover the sky with one hand. Many of them come from other families with five surnames and seven Wangs, and of course there are also loyal to the royal family. Guanlong nobles participated in it. They will not help the Cui family and the Wang family to cover up.

With such a crowd of people, Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan had no room for manipulation. They could only watch the problem accounts one after another being taken out by their colleagues and piled aside into a tall hill. They know very well that if this hill is not handled properly, it is likely to crush the family behind them.

Imagine that the aristocratic family exists because people naturally believe that the talents and morals of the aristocratic family are better than those of the poor family. What would the people think if a large number of scandals that the children of the family embezzled the people’s disaster relief money and food were suddenly exposed after the catastrophe? Do they still think that the morality and talents of aristocratic children are reliable?

They are afraid that they will only think that the so-called children of the family are no different from ordinary people, right? The reputation of the Wang family and the Cui family accumulated for hundreds of years and thousands of years is bound to be fatally hit.

Famous families, famous families, famous families can be called famous families if they are famous, what kind of famous families do not have the reputation?

When Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan sent the account of the discovered problem to Li Shimin, Li Shimin didn't look up, obviously he had anticipated the result a long time ago.

At that time, Li Shimin said calmly: "Aristocratic families have controlled Shandong and Hebei for a long time. I didn't expect it to be corrupted to such a degree. Even the life-saving food issued by the national treasury dared to reach out. What a courage!"

Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this must be the personal behavior of a small group of brave generations. It has nothing to do with my Cui family and Wang family! Please be aware of it, your Majesty!" All they can do is to avoid as much as possible. The relationship between the Qing family and corruption is nothing more.

Li Shimin slowly shook his head and said: "The people's disaster relief money has been embezzled. There is absolutely no possibility of this matter. All officials involved must be strictly handled!"

Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan did not speak. They knew that Li Shimin was not bargaining with them, but through them to convey a message to the family behind them.

"It's up to you to announce this to the civil and military officials." Li Shimin continued.

Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan suddenly looked up, their eyes were full of disbelief-let them announce to the civil and military officials? Isn't that the equivalent of letting them expose officials who embezzled money and food within the family? If they do this, how will the people in the family treat them in the future? Your spine will be punctured!

They can almost imagine how much hatred and blank eyes they will face in the family in the future.

Li Shimin saw what Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan meant, shook his head silently, and said, "This is all voluntary. If you don't want to do it, I can let others do it, but it will be a little troublesome. You will discuss it with your family after you go back. Reply to me later."
