I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Seven days later, Censorate.

Fan Jian was checking a thick stack of account books.

The storm a few months ago did not hit Fan Jian.

He did not join other censors in impeaching the Prime Minister, so he stayed.

Those censors who shouted the loudest and jumped the highest were almost all dealt with by Li Tian and Tang Xiaoren.

First, they were collectively fined, and then the Prime Minister Tang Xiaoren found several reasons to expel several censors from the Censorate.

The future of those young censors who were demoted to remote areas was basically ruined.

They can only hope that Tang Xiaoren will fall soon.

If Tang Xiaoren had not fallen, they would have worked in those remote places for the rest of their lives.

Tang Xiaoren's thunderous measures shocked the other imperial censors.

So these days, no censor dared to impeach Tang Xiaoren.

Tang Xiaoren also appreciated Fan Jian's attitude of not interfering last time.

There were rumors in the Censorate that Fan Jian had already defected to Tang Xiaoren, and that the position of Chief Censor would be his sooner or later.

The Chief Censor was the deputy official of the Censorate.

After serving as a junior official in a clean government office like the Censorate, the next step is to be transferred to become a vice minister of one of the six ministries.

That’s the step to blue sky!

Everyone was both envious and jealous of Fan Jian.

But at this moment, the memorial written by Fan Jian was actually impeaching Tang Xiaoren!

Fan Jian got the clue at the market.

He came from a poor family and although he was an imperial censor, he still rented a house in Kyoto.

There was no other servant in the house except a book boy.

On weekdays, it is my wife who cooks.

Fan Jian loves his wife very much. Although there is a saying that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, he often goes to the kitchen to help.

A few days ago, he suddenly discovered that the kitchen knife had been replaced at home.

The prices in Kyoto are very high, and ironware is also expensive.

Although the original kitchen knife was a bit blunt, it was still usable.

My wife is a frugal person, why did she suddenly change the kitchen knife?

While eating, Fan Jian talked about this matter in casual conversation.

"Husband, there are a lot of high-quality ironware in the market these days, including farm tools and kitchen knives, and the prices are very low."

"I thought the price was right and the quality was so good, so I bought a new kitchen knife."

It turned out to be the case.

Fan Jian is a thoughtful person.

A batch of fine ironware?

There are no iron mines around Kyoto, so how come there were suddenly so many ironwares?

So during his day off, Fan Jian changed into casual clothes and went to the market to inquire.

Sure enough, in a newly opened shop, shiny ironware was being sold.

Those iron tools are indeed good and cheap.

Fan Jian was a little confused, so he found the clerk in charge of managing the market.

Upon inquiry, I found out that this store was actually related to the Ministry of Industry.

Wait, the Ministry of Industry?

Fan Jian began to investigate and soon found out that the owner of the store was actually the armory.

He was also surprised to find that the ironware sold in this store was actually smelted and modified from weapons!

The shovels sold in this store are modified from military iron guns.

This time Fan Jian was terrified.

The armory secretly melted down the weapons into farm tools and sold them!

That is a capital crime!

Fan Jian had already planned to report to the court.

But he quickly calmed down.

The Armoury is a government office under the Ministry of Works. If only the Armoury did this, the Ministry of Works would find out soon.

This is definitely not an armory case, the Ministry of Industry is also involved!

Fan Jian continued to investigate the Ministry of Industry's account books.

Suddenly it was discovered that the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Tang Xiaoren, had personally written off the inventory of 15,000 sets of armor and weapons!

Now Fan Jian was completely dumbfounded!

This case involves the Prime Minister, it’s a big case!

The outline of the case appeared in Fan Jian's mind.

The armory was connected with Prime Minister Tang Xiaoren, who wrote off and scrapped the armory's inventory.

Those 15,000 sets of armor and weapons were taken away by the armory, melted down into civilian tools, and sold outside!

This is a major corruption case!

From the Armory to the Ministry of Industry, all the way to the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, how many important officials were involved in between?

Fan Jian quickly realized the nature of this case!

This is a conspiracy!

The mastermind behind this is the cabinet chief minister Tang Xiaoren!

Fan Jian silently recorded the evidence, and then began to write the memorial.

Fan Jian doesn't have a good reputation in the Censorate, but he is very upright!

Fan Jian didn't like the atmosphere of empty talk in the Censorate. Could empty talk alone without any evidence lead to the downfall of a high-ranking official?

childish!

Fan Jian is very meticulous in his work. If he takes action, he must have solid evidence.

So Fan Jian carefully polished the memorial and revised it several times before putting it into the secret box unique to the Censorate.

This is the privilege of the Censorate, they can bypass the Prime Minister and submit memorials directly to the emperor.

Only Your Majesty can open this memorial.

This is also the reason why the Censorate could surpass other government offices and become the mainstay of the clean government.

That night, Tang Hanxue saw this memorial.

She was shocked, but did not dare to hide it at all, and quickly gave the memorial to Li Tian.

After reading this memorial, Li Tian became excited.

OK!

Father-in-law, your true colors have finally been revealed!

And the inspector of the armory, if I remember correctly, seemed to be Zhang Xingchai who was recommended by the Queen Mother?

Very good!

Li Tian was excited and overjoyed.

The seeds that were sown are finally beginning to blossom and bear fruit!

Li Tian finally waited for this day.

This is a conspiracy that emperors of every dynasty will encounter!

The Prime Minister colluded with the Ministry of Industry’s Arsenal, embezzled the armory’s inventory, and sold it to make money!

What a genius!

Li Tiandu admired his father-in-law's skills.

Look at what a professional player who ruins the country's destiny is!

And there’s that useless Zhang, oh no, Zhang Feichai!

I was right about the person, the Queen Mother’s recommendation was so good!

Li Tian was so happy that he almost jumped up with excitement.

Queen Tang Hanxue was trembling with fear. She saw that Li Tian had a calm expression and even a smile on his lips.

Suddenly I felt a chill on my back.

Dad, you are so confused!

Your daughter is already the current queen, and she's pregnant.

You are the Prime Minister of the Cabinet with great power, how could you do such a greedy thing!

Tang Hanxue hates her father for being a useless person!

She bit her lip lightly, but she couldn't just stand by and watch her father die.

So Tang Hanxue fell to her knees.

"Your Majesty, my father was confused for a moment!"

Li Tian quickly helped Tang Hanxue up and said, "You are still pregnant!"

"I have read the memorial, and my father-in-law must be innocent."

Tang Hanxue was stunned when she heard this.

She also read Fan Jian's memorial.

The content of the memorial was extremely meticulous, and it was the most impressive memorial Tang Hanxue had ever seen.

It’s not that Fan Jian’s writing is so sharp, but that his content is straightforward and to the point!

It also lists a lot of evidence, the logic is very clear, and it can be said that the evidence is conclusive!

Your Majesty actually said that my father is innocent?

A warm feeling surged in Tang Hanxue's heart!

Your Majesty, this is a sign of your favor to me!

Tang Hanxue was about to say something, but Li Tian spoke first:

"I believe in the Prime Minister. He won't do such a thing."

"Zhang Yuchai, the inspector of the armory, is a talent recommended by the Queen Mother. He definitely won't do that."

"This must be a false accusation!"
