Xiao Yi tidied his clothes and licked his lips. No wonder everyone is such a thief.
However, it is not a big problem to do something to this demon concubine at the moment, but the time to do something has not yet come.
He not only wants to get Concubine Li's body, but also her heart.
As long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down.
By digging up Concubine Li's wall, Li Linfu's hands would no longer be able to reach the harem.
Xiao Yi looked at Concubine Li, who had a flushed face and could squeeze water out of her mouth, and smiled slightly, never expecting that she would... in this situation.
But having said that, he could also see that Concubine Li was actually trying to trick him and test his truth.
As she said, conquering her is not that easy.
"Well, it's very fragrant, very sweet, and very moist. Gu will let you see Gu's methods and his heart."
After saying that, Xiao Yi walked away swaggeringly.
Concubine Li lay directly on the table, her whole body limp. She did not expect that she would be in Xiao Yi's arms under such circumstances.
"This shameless person!"
And very bold.
She is Concubine Li, his mother-in-law!
How dare he? !
Xiao Ce sometimes looked at her with eyes full of aggression, but he was also very cautious, with only evil intentions but no courage.
However, last night, when she went to the East Palace, she was bitten by Xiao Yi.
Now she is in Xiao Yi's arms...
After regaining consciousness, Concubine Li reluctantly stood up. The two maids behind her stepped forward and helped her tidy up her messy clothes.
Xiao Yi was like her just now, and the two of them didn't stop him. They just stood by and watched with expressionless faces.
After returning to the palace, I asked the palace maid to prepare hot water, and then I changed my clothes under the service of a pair of twins, and then scrubbed my body. The round shoulders and hills and ravines were looming in the steaming heat.
After a while, with the sound of "clatter", a jade foot like crystal glass with crystal water drops stepped on the wooden couch. The five jade toes were as thin as bamboo shoots, and they were a little stretched because of the exertion. Due to being soaked in hot water for a while, they are white and rosy, and their slender legs are like a piece of finely crafted art. It is no exaggeration to say that the legs are broken due to age.
After cleaning herself, Concubine Li sat at the table and had her hair wiped by the palace maid.
She was thinking about what Xiao Yi would do next and what she should do to benefit from this battle for the heir.
Besides, Xiao Yi was hungry and returned to the East Palace. He was in a good mood and ate several more large bowls of rice.
Zhang Jiuling, who was comforting the refugees outside the city, returned to his house and started eating.
He is sixty and six years old, but he is still strong. He eats on time every day, is seventy full, drinks tea, and takes a nap.
While drinking tea.
Someone came to the door quietly and was led to the private room by the old housekeeper.
After a while, he left quietly again.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yi did not go to the political hall. He first strengthened his relationship with Li Qiuya, and then received a secret notice.
A twenty-five or six-year-old eunuch sent by Sanbao Eunuch, Huaiji, is a man of trouble. He is usually taciturn, but he can make the east palace look completely new. Both the eunuch and the maid are very obedient.
After Xiao Yi read the secret report, as well as the accounts related to the Ministry of Revenue and the accounts of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he understood that someone was handing him a knife.
As for that person, he could guess it.
"Come here, summon Wang Hao, the Minister of Household Affairs, to come to the East Palace to discuss matters!"
Half an hour later, Wang Hao, the Minister of Household Affairs, arrived late.
With a calm look on his face, he bowed slightly, cupped his hands, and saluted, "Your Majesty, Hao Lei, see you."
Xiao Yi ignored it and looked at the accounts in his hands. After all, this was an ancient accounting method. He didn't understand it at the beginning, and the original owner knew nothing about it.
Fortunately, the eunuch Huaiji was literate and knew the accounting method. After some explanations and introductions from him, Xiao Yi figured it out.
When Wang Hao saw that Xiao Yi ignored him, he lowered his head and frowned, and said again: "I wonder why His Highness summoned his ministers here?"
Xiao Yi put down the account book and said: "Without courtesy, I have called you here because there are some things I want you to clarify."
Wang Hao looks to be in his thirties, has a goatee, and has a somewhat elegant and scholarly air.
But people should not be judged by their appearance!
He looks okay, but he has a dark heart.
Wang Hao said: "If your Highness has any doubts, I should tell you everything I know."
Xiao Yi was not in a hurry. He took a few sips of tea and then said: "I have sent people to the Ministry of Revenue to get the account books related to the previous disaster relief work on Shaanxi Road. I plan to ask you to explain to me how the Ministry of Households provides disaster relief."
Wang Hao was startled. What is His Highness the Crown Prince trying to do?
soon.
Eunuch Sanbao personally brought several account books from the household department to the East Palace and presented them with both hands.
Only he can take Xiao Yi's token and take away the accounting books of the Ministry of Accounts, and no one else can.
Xiao Yi looked through it a few times and said directly: "Wang Qing, your account book... doesn't seem right?"
Wang Hao suddenly frowned and said quickly: "Your Highness, it's impossible. This was supervised by me personally and checked by the Third Division. There is nothing inappropriate."
Xiao Yi snorted coldly.
"Hmph, how could I be mistaken? On April 16th this year, the Ministry of Household Affairs once allocated disaster relief funds. It is recorded that the total amount is 1.3 million yuan."
"But why does it record that Shaanxi Road received a total of 700,000 yuan?"
"Where did the other 600,000 yuan go? Whose pocket did it fall into? Or was it pocketed by you?!"
"boom!"
Xiao Yi placed the two account books heavily on the table.
This loud bang startled Wang Hao.
"Drag this rebellious minister down and chop him down!"
Xiao Yi's words made Wang Hao stunned.
He did not expect that Xiao Yi would not follow the routine when he just started supervising the country.
Just because there was something wrong with the account books, I killed him directly.
There is no need for a joint trial by the three agencies.
Just skipping the trial, deliberation, and conviction, are you going to drag him out and behead him?
"Prince, you are killing innocent people indiscriminately. There is no problem with the account books at all, and I have never been greedy. So you are going to kill me."
"If you supervise the country like this, you will surely perish!"
"His Royal Highness, you must think carefully. Once you do this, it will chill the hearts of all civil and military officials, but no one will dare to do anything for the prince."
This is a clear threat, and it is used to exert pressure.
However, Xiao Yi directly ordered Lu Chong: "Why are you still standing there? The evidence is here. The Minister of the Department of Hubu of Da Gan should be dedicated to serving the country, assisting the emperor in governing Da Gan, serving as an official for one term, and benefiting the whole country, but this person is getting rich Not to mention the embezzlement of disaster relief money, the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the corruption of money are more than the money in the national treasury today!"
"If you don't kill such a corrupt official directly, do you have to wait for the officials to protect him and let him get away with it?"
Lu Chong immediately realized that His Highness the Crown Prince must have really grasped the evidence that Wang Hao was greedy for ink. He wanted to cut the knot quickly, so he immediately asked the guards to pick up Wang Hao and drag him away.
Wang Hao's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Xiao Yi sitting there in disbelief.
Until now, he still felt a little bit like this was a dream.
His Royal Highness actually wanted to kill him directly just after looking at the account books.
He found that his reliance and determination were like a nonsense joke in front of His Royal Highness.
Because His Highness the Crown Prince did not act as he thought he would, and his methods were direct and cruel.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please spare your life, I...I am willing to be His Highness's lackey. I will bite whoever Your Highness tells me to bite!"
"Your Highness, all of this is... Li Linfu asked me to do it!"
"Your Highness..."
Xiao Yi didn't even look at Wang Hao who was dragged out. Such a person was not suitable to be his dog at all.
Not worthy either!
Eunuch Sanbao watched quietly from the side and did not speak to stop him.
As a eunuch, he knew very well that he was just a domestic dog beside the emperor and only needed to look after the house.
After a while, Lu Chong returned to the room, holding a wooden box in his hand, which contained plant ash and a human head. The head belonged to Wang Hao.
"Your Highness, the traitor Wang Hao has been brought to justice." Lu Chong bowed.
Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Go and raid Wang Hao's home, the Yi clan!"
Then he said to the Sanbao eunuch: "Call Dai Guang, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, again."
