Chapter 153

In the early morning, when the sky was just dark, all the civil and military officials in the capital got on their sedan chairs and prepared to go to the morning court.

"Calculate it? Didn't Wang Lang Wang Shi Lang say so? There are so many accounts that it would be difficult to calculate them in three months! It only takes three days, and they are so exhausted that they can't even try to figure out all the accounts!"

"Yes! The imperial court requires a lot of expenditures from various departments every day. It is impossible to thoroughly investigate tens of thousands of accounts in three days!"

A group of ministers met and exchanged words one after another. Many of them had sneers on their lips, as if they had seen Tang Yu and Xu Shize's joke.

At five o'clock in the morning, on time for the early morning court, the civil and military officials of the entire court gathered in the Jinluan Hall, and the Emperor of Tang Dynasty strolled over.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Tang looked at the hall and saw that there were no shadows of Tang Yu and Xu Shize. He was surprised and said, "Where are the prince and the prime minister?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know!" All the civil and military officials laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

When Tang Shuheng finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court laughed out loud.

"Is it true that the accounts have not been found out?" Tang Huang's face gradually darkened.

Remember URL

"How generous is it to make people laugh? Third brother, is it really funny? Believe it or not, I will make you laugh right away?"

Just when Tang Shuheng was laughing endlessly, Tang Yu and Xu Shize arrived late.

"The prince and the prime minister are actually here?" All the officials were shocked.

Tang Shuheng's pupils shrank, he really didn't expect that Tang Yu and Xu Shize would meet in the morning, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Ninth brother, you and the prime minister must have not finished checking the accounts, and are you here specifically to apologize to your father? "

"Excuse me? Haha!" Tang Yu sneered.

Immediately, Tang Yu glanced at the civil and military officials of the court and said: "The prime minister and I have thoroughly investigated the accounts!"

"Complete the thorough investigation? Lao Jiu, just brag!" The eldest prince Tang Long also laughed out loud.

"You don't believe it, do you?"

Seeing that no one believed what he said, Tang Yu stretched out his hand. Xu Shize handed the account to Tang Yu, and then Tang Yu opened an account. The corners of his mouth raised slightly and he said: "Master Zhou Yezhou, the young minister of Guanglu Temple!"

"What do you do, Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhou Ye, the young minister of Guanglu Temple, was suddenly shocked when Tang Yu called him by name.

In full view of everyone, Tang Yu said bluntly: "Master Zhou is incredible! In the past three years, he has embezzled more than 200,000 yuan from the imperial court!"

"What?" Tang Huang stood up in shock.

The Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple is an official of the fifth rank, and is responsible for assisting the minister in handling banquets, recommendations, and other matters.

To put it bluntly, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple is basically responsible for the royal family's worship of ancestors, banquets with ministers, and envoys from other countries.

Who would have thought that in just three years, a mere fifth-grade young minister from Guanglu Temple could embezzle more than 200,000 taels of silver.

If this is the case, how much corruption does a fourth-grade official have? What about the third-grade official? Tang Huang simply couldn't imagine it.

Zhou Ye's expression suddenly changed: "Your Highness, please stop spitting here! How could I embezzle more than 200,000 taels of silver?"

"You don't deny it, right? Okay! Then take the account and show it to me!"

Staring at Zhou Ye, Tang Yu looked disdainful. He suddenly threw the accounts belonging to Zhou Ye over.

"This this..."
