Reborn after being deposed, he takes the deposed prince to seize his ex-husband’s kingdom

Qian Huai on the side did not speak, but his eyes were clear.

Xuanyuan Haoyu didn't expect that a few people would be like this. They were so stubborn that they still refused to admit it despite the fact that the evidence was irrefutable.

"You guys are so messy..."

Upon seeing this, King Rui stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Father, these days, the prince and brother do often ask for leave, saying that they may not really go to investigate this matter. Why don't you show these account books and memorials to me?"

Emperor Xuanyuan nodded slightly when he heard this.

"That's it!"

With Emperor Xuanyuan's permission, Situ Qing and others had no choice but to let King Rui take away the account books and memorials in their hands.

Soon King Rui took a general look.

He bowed his hands to Emperor Xuanyuan.

"Father, I have only read the first few pages. This account book is indeed clearly recorded. How much is the output of each mu of grain field? How many acres of land are there in the manor, and what is the total output?

In the memorial written by the prince, the proportion of taxes this year and the total tax amount and only the tax amount of several ministers' families have been marked this year. Such a detailed memorial shows that the prince really used investigation. This matter!

The prince of a country personally investigated it. The authenticity of this account book should not be fake. Of course, what several ministers said is not wrong. How can we prove that this account book belongs to someone else's family?

Er Chen has a way to prove whether these account books are true!There is just trouble! "

Emperor Xuanyuan said after hearing this.

"Come and listen!"

Xuanyuan Haoyu began to wonder in his heart, Lao Wu had always been at odds with him, and wasn't he always attached to Lao Qi?How could this suddenly change gender?Do you still speak for yourself?

Normally, shouldn't he speak for several ministers with problems and take this opportunity to win over the ministers?

Before Xuanyuan Haoyu could figure it out.

King Rui cupped his hands and said.

"Father, since this account book records where there are manors and how many acres of farmland there are, as long as my father leaves a few ministers to have dinner in the palace today.

Then he sent someone to ask the steward of Zhuangzi to Dali Temple for questioning based on the notes in the account book and the memorial. After leaving a confession, it will be clear whose account the account book belongs to! "

When Situ Qing heard this, he glanced at King Rui. This King Rui was not simple!But since when did King Rui join the prince?

"King Rui, if we follow what you said, are we going to imprison Wei Qun? No matter what, Wei Chen is still a first-class minister. He must have worked hard for the court these years without merit!

Imprisoning Wei Chen for an unknown matter, how can Wei Chen have the face to gain a foothold in the imperial city in the future? "

King Rui smiled calmly and spoke after hearing this.

"Several adults have misunderstood what I mean. What I mean is to invite a few ministers to accompany my father for dinner, and the emperor will give me the meal. This is a favor from the king. How can I be imprisoned? Imprisonment requires shackles and imprisonment!

What's more, I also want to clear the innocence of several adults. The prince's memorial is so detailed, even if these adults just brush this matter off?Are these adults really innocent in the hearts of the people and even the king?

These adults are all important ministers of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. Naturally, they must set an example by paying taxes and refraining from corruption. What do you think, adults? "

Xuanyuan Haoyu didn't care what Prince Rui was doing today, and suddenly he would speak for himself. The matter had reached this point. If he didn't confirm this matter, then he, the prince, would end up with a reputation of slandering loyal ministers.

"Father, I agree with King Rui's statement, and even if several ministers are unwilling to stay, then the Ministry of Household Affairs also has records of who cultivates this fertile land.

It's just that some farmland belongs to the minister's family, or is managed by relatives, which will cause some trouble to check!But people from the past can definitely find out!It’s just not as fast as King Rui’s method! "

Several ministers wanted to say something after hearing this!

"emperor…………"

Emperor Xuanyuan interrupted.

"Okay, dear friends, I haven't talked to you for a long time, so you can stay today! After dinner, I will send someone to take you back!"

Emperor Xuanyuan spoke with the final word!

The ministers didn't know what to say, they just thought about who to blame!

Emperor Xuanyuan also looked at King Rui.

"You two brothers have always disagreed on political matters, but today you are united?"

King Rui cupped his hands after hearing this.

"Father, I have always dealt with the situation rather than the person. Today the prince's report is about taxation. I naturally have to speak based on the facts, and as a prince, I should oppose corruption!"

Then he seemed to remember something.

"Father, speaking of this, several adults have some relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. In order to avoid unnecessary speculation and gossip, it would be better for Father to allow Xu Erchen and the Minister of Dali Temple to participate in this matter!"

Emperor Xuanyuan nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Is the Minister of Dali Temple here?"

The Minister of Dali Temple hurriedly stepped forward and held his hands.

"Wei Chen is here!"

Emperor Xuanyuan ordered.

"Let you, the Crown Prince, and Prince Rui investigate this case thoroughly! Don't shield anyone, and don't wrongly accuse anyone!"

Upon hearing this, the minister of Dali Temple hurriedly saluted.

"Yes!"

But I feel a little helpless. The official positions of several adults are not small!Moreover, it is easy to have a scapegoat for this kind of thing. King Rui has given himself a hard job!

In the end, Situ Qing and others were left to eat in the palace without even seeing his personal servants. Emperor Xuanyuan just sent palace officials to each house to inform them.

A prince, a prince, and the most famous Qing of Dali Temple in handling cases.

The confessions of the stewards of each manor were quickly obtained. The more remote Zhuangzi also asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to transfer the files and check them clearly!

Royal study.

The prince presented all the confessions and the files reviewed by the Ministry of Revenue to Emperor Xuanyuan.

"Father, we have found out everything, please take a look!"

King Rui also raised his hand and spoke.

"Father, the prince's memorial is indeed true. Your Excellencies have indeed paid less taxes!"

With such irrefutable evidence, Emperor Xuanyuan's face darkened. These ministers had gone too far. They only paid one-third of the original tax!

The prince cupped his hands and said.

"Father, officials are role models for the people. If everyone pays so little, wouldn't the treasury become increasingly empty? I ask my father to severely punish this matter to serve as a warning to others!"

King Rui also raised his hand when he saw this.

"Father, what the prince said is that if we are not punished severely, I am afraid that everyone will follow suit and corrupt officials will become more and more rampant, which will eventually affect the lives of the people!"

Emperor Xuanyuan pondered for a while and then gave instructions to the eunuchs beside him.

"Bring Situ Qing, Qian Huai, and Gu Shu!"

Soon Situ Qing and others were brought to the imperial study room by their father-in-law.

"Welcoming ministers see the Emperor, His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness Prince Rui!"

Emperor Xuanyuan did not let them get up!

Instead, he looked sharply at a few people.

"These are all veterans who have assisted me for many years. I hope we can hide less from each other!"

Situ Qing saw a stack of paper on the table out of the corner of his eye!

I understood in my heart that I couldn’t let this matter go!But we can’t admit it directly!

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has been recalling that account book today. It is indeed a record of the fertile land of the Situ family. However, Wei Chen seldom manages the trivial matters at home, so he does not remember it clearly.

Thinking about it, it was indeed the steward of the family who made a mistake. When Wei Chen returned, he made up for the shortfall in taxes and rushed half of the harvest into the treasury. The steward of the family would also punish him severely! "
