The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 486 Your father is back!
Thunder began to rumble outside.

His features were relaxed and bright, his long eyelashes cast butterfly-wing-like shadows under the lamplight, his knuckles were distinct, and his wrists were like snow-capped peaks. Doing these things was a pleasure to behold.

Yu Tingwan held the empty jade cup, sat down in front of him, and waited to drink.

Everyone else is old, but you are young and strong.

Wei Zhao raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I don't care about being young."

"I acknowledge my strength and power."

You're implicated in pornography with just a few words, aren't you?
How could you possibly call Qingya sleazy?

Yu Tingwan glared at him.

"Seriously."

"The one in the palace has summoned everyone. Except for that Zhu Wei whom I've never heard of, all the officials who went have been clearly arranged by the Grand Tutor. It's clear that the dog emperor has a plan in mind. But why did he insist on having the Grand Tutor speak? What is his intention?"

She looked bewildered: "You just want to see the Grand Tutor scold people?"

Wei Zhao was amused by her.

His shoulders trembled slightly, and he let out a muffled laugh.

"He is indeed mentally ill, but not to that extent."

After boiling three times, the aroma of tea filled the air, and he poured the tea into the empty cup in the girl's hand.

Wei Zhao said gently, "Although the emperor's power is supreme, he is always outwardly amiable to his officials and will not do anything that would offend them."

“During Yang Changzheng’s tenure, the construction of dikes and ditches was no small project; it involved a wide range of issues and could not have been accomplished by him alone. He pocketed a considerable amount of the money he received from me. I’m afraid that people from the Ministry of Revenue helped him falsify the accounts.”

"The Ministry of Works must have been involved in the tofu project."

"Before construction begins, the Ministry of Rites must offer sacrifices to the river god."

It can be said that all six were involved to some extent.

"Even if those ministers were clean-cut, how could they not see that Yang Changzheng was profiting from it all? There is a suspicion of cover-up."

Emperor Yingqian was clear about everything from beginning to end.

But who dares to question him?

Wei Zhao: "The dog emperor hates Yang Changzheng to the bone, but after imprisoning him, he has no other options. The Six Ministries are Yang Changzheng's territory. He is very wary, so how can he feel at ease? He has long wanted to reorganize and establish his authority, but he has been struggling to find an opportunity."

The issue of the dikes and ditches has been brought up these past few days, causing widespread public discontent. Now, bringing up Yang Changzheng's embezzlement case for a second trial means that no official involved will be spared. The people, however, don't understand the intricacies of the situation; they simply believe the emperor is a wise ruler and has given them a satisfactory explanation.

However, given Emperor Yingqian's style, he would not completely eradicate the Six Ministries.

This involves a wide range of issues, which will inevitably lead to Gu Fuju being ostracized by the court.

It's come to this critical juncture.

Instead of worrying about the people suffering from the floods, Emperor Yingqian was killing three birds with one stone.

The blood in their bones is probably cold.

Yu Tingwan seemed to be deep in thought.

"That's right. With Yang Changzheng imprisoned, the court officials have all become mute. No one is speaking up to thoroughly investigate the Six Ministries and rectify the court."

But soon: "Where is He Xuran?"

Isn't he an impartial censor?
Wei Zhao: "It's obvious that the dog emperor and others will go and make the decision; he wouldn't be stupid enough to become the executioner."

Gu Fuju clearly didn't want to do it either.

From the moment he entered the palace, the eunuch deliberately mentioned Zhu Wei, clearly indicating that it was Emperor Qian's intention.

Wei Zhao: "Yang Changzheng is a useless piece of chess. The disaster in the area is enough to make the court overwhelmed. The reorganization of the Six Ministries needs someone to take the lead. Emperor Yingqian should take this opportunity to promote someone."

All things considered, it's killing four birds with one stone.

Yu Tingwan: ... "Then I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the Grand Tutor."

"Not really."

“Baopu sent a message saying that the Master’s scolding was quite satisfying.”

Yu Tingwan: ...

"The dog emperor schemed and plotted, but he overlooked one thing."

Yu Tingwan: "What?"

Wei Zhao smiled: "Zhu Wei... is he really still risking his life for him?"

stimulate.

Yu Tingwan was excited.

"your people?"

Wei Zhao shook his head.

Yu Tingwan remained excited.

"The Grand Tutor's man."

Wei Zhao shook his head.

She continued to guess.

"Is it Xiao Huaiyan or Ying Fuyan?"

Anyway, these are all our own people.

Wei Zhao continued to shake his head.

"Gah!"

A bird called out from outside.

It was Qingya, who had been thrown out of the house by Ying Fuyan and then rushed back to the Duke of Shun's mansion. It was raining outside.

Fu Meng had all taken shelter indoors to avoid the rain.

But the crow was very excited.

It's finally back home!
It suddenly darted into the house of the Fumeng.

Fu Meng was lying down asleep when Qing Ya approached the tiger's ear and shouted sharply.

"Little bunny!"

Fu Meng: ?

Before it even opened its eyes, it heard the crow, oblivious to its own mortality, cawing loudly.

"Your father is back!"

Wei Zhao suddenly had a headache.

But he felt that Qingya probably couldn't be sent back to Ying Fuyan's side.

Yu Tingwan couldn't help but chuckle, but she didn't forget her business.

"Why are you shaking your head? Just say it."

Wei Zhao looked listless, then said quietly, "Standing still."

Before Ying Zhi's leg injury, he had secretly saved Zhu Wei's life.

Yu Tingwan nearly spat out the tea in her mouth.

"He's quite capable."

It was Yu Tingwan's approval.

The next sequence can be followed.

Yu Tingwan: "Did Zhizhi also sleep with Zhu Wei?"

For several days in a row.

All over the Jin Dynasty.

In teahouses and restaurants, groups of two or three people gathered together, pricking up their ears to talk to each other.

"Have you heard the news? Urgent reports are coming in from all over the country. His Majesty is extremely anxious about this and has even vomited blood."

"His Majesty was recuperating from his injuries, but how could he possibly have time for that now? I heard he hasn't slept a wink for several days in a row. It's clear he cares deeply for the people! This is a blessing for all."

"Yes, the court discussed and resolved a good case, opened up the national treasury for disaster relief, not to mention sent many officials to fight the disaster."

The more the people talked, the more excited they became.

But there's always one Wei family soldier who comes from the blacksmith shop who pops up in the crowd to pour cold water on things.

"Really? Does the national treasury have money?"

An old woman carrying a basket told him, "You young man, you're out of the loop. All six ministries have started investigating, and in the past few days they've found out a lot of officials taking kickbacks. Boxes and boxes of silver have been carried out of their residences and all of it has been used as disaster relief grain."

Those around him agreed, and once again sighed with emotion.

"With such a court, why should we worry about not having a good life?"

Wei Jiajun, dressed in coarse cloth, asked, "Have you asked the Duke of Shun's mansion yet?"

"Wha...what?"

Wei Jiajun: "Most of the money those ministers embezzled came from General Wei. Now that it's being brought out, it should be returned to its rightful owner."

It seems to make sense.

One woman retorted, "The general has always done good deeds, so he would naturally agree."

Auntie: "That's right, we definitely have to prioritize the refugees."

She changed the subject.

"However, the imperial court should issue an IOU."

Elsewhere, people are also discussing it endlessly.

"Why is the national treasury always empty? We work hard every year to earn money, tighten our belts to make ends meet, and we still have to pay taxes and grain."

"The imperial court also has its own difficulties, with many expenses. Not to mention anything else, the cost of the imperial examinations alone is a considerable expense."

The public expressed their understanding.

Every family wants to produce a scholar.

I don’t know who shouted.

"That's right. There are a lot of concubines and princesses in the harem who need to be supported. Their clothing, drinks, and other necessities are also a considerable expense."

"what?"

Some people were not convinced.

"Was this also taken from the national treasury?"

"Is the Emperor using our money to support women?"

"If that's the case, then wouldn't palaces and mausoleums also be taken from the national treasury? By the way, I heard that the Hall of Mental Cultivation was burned down and will be rebuilt."

The crowd started cursing.

"Bah, I knew it! How could the national treasury have been empty all this time?"

"We don't get any of the benefits, but we get a share of the taxes?"

"It is said that the Crown Prince's burial was exceptionally grand. The number of burial goods was countless."

Wei Jiajun chimed in: "Fine! We've got to raise women, and now we're raising dead people too."
