Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

"Yes."

The General of Cavalry, the General of Weiyuan, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works all responded in agreement.

Leng Qing wanted to laugh when she saw the Minister of Revenue's miserable look. Although she wanted to deal with this big parasite, she had to squeeze him dry first. Killing someone was so easy, she wanted to destroy his heart.

This corrupt official in the imperial court must personally return the silver he has embezzled bit by bit.

"Also, Minister of Revenue, I will give you half a month to sort out all the treasury account books for me. I want to check the accounts."

The Minister of Revenue was so frightened that his fat face trembled. It was not an easy task to balance all the accounts of the national treasury in half a month.

He was so bold and presumptuous because he felt that the emperor's court had not yet dealt with a mess and he had no time to check the accounts, so he neglected a lot. He didn't expect that the accounts would be checked so soon.

But what could he do? The emperor had already spoken and given him half a month, which obviously meant that he had to either settle the accounts or fill all the holes in such a short time.

Their emperor finally stood up under their pressure. The only thing he couldn't understand was that he had hidden such good silver, and even his wife didn't know how the emperor knew about it.

Could it be that the emperor has planted spies around him? The more he thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out on the Minister of Revenue's back. God knows if he was scared to death when he saw the emperor's comments on his memorial.

The situation is stronger than the person. Now, no matter how many thoughts he has in mind, he can only bow his head and respond.

"Which of the remaining ministers would like to share their solutions?"

The court officials below were still looking at each other. After all, the Duke of Zhenguo had just been scolded. If they stood up at this time, wouldn't they be deliberately trying to embarrass him?

"How about this? Everyone in the Ministry of War, submit your proposed solutions to the Minister of War and the Duke of Zhenguo. I will only review the final summary, noting which minister proposed which solution. The rest of the departments will follow suit. Tomorrow, you, the superiors, will compile your subordinates' solutions into a memorial and send it to me."

"The ministers obey the order."

The main problems facing the Dongxia Kingdom today are party chaos in the court, a weak emperor, rampant corrupt officials, and an empty treasury.

"Oh, right? I remember that during the reign of the previous emperor and previous dynasties, there were cases of ministers borrowing silver from the national treasury, right? If you ministers don't pay it back now, when will you pay it back?"

"Your Majesty, we are not aware of what happened several dynasties ago."

What this means is that it happened so long ago that who knows who borrowed it and who didn't. It's not just the amount you say.

"That's alright. I have the account book here. The treasury is empty right now. My breakfast consists of only a few steamed buns, a side dish, and a bowl of porridge. Yet, you ministers are living in extravagance and wastefulness. Is this unacceptable?"

"Your Majesty, our family is poor and not what you say. Look at my inner clothes, they are all patched."

Leng Qing glanced at the man who answered. He was thin with sunken eye sockets and dark circles under his eyes, looking like a man who had indulged in excessive sexual activities.

Looking at the material of the clothes he pulled out, it was made of the finest silk, comparable to the tribute from the palace.

Do they really think they can get away with it by just putting a patch on their clothes? Haha, today she Leng Qingyi will let these ministers see that their emperor is not a fool who can't tell the difference between grains.

"Come here, take off his official robe and rip off all the patches for me. I want to see what's underneath those patches."

Upon hearing this, the minister who came out to answer was immediately frightened and turned pale. Under the patch, under the patch, how could the emperor know?

Upon hearing the emperor's order, the imperial guards in the palace immediately stepped forward to subdue the man, stripped off his official robe, and tore off the patch sewn on his inner garment.

When the first patch was torn off, several silver bills with a face value of one thousand taels fell out, and then another piece of cloth was torn off and several more silver bills fell to the ground.

The man was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. It was over, all over.

Originally, he wanted to be the first to come forward and dissuade the emperor from his idea. After all, he was cautious in his actions and even pretended to be poor when entertaining guests. Even if the emperor didn't believe him, he wouldn't be able to find a few taels of silver when searching his house. He didn't expect that he originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, but ended up pushing himself to the guillotine.

The ministers who were watching were just about to persuade the emperor to think twice about such behavior, but they did not expect that a Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Office, who usually pretended to be poor and pitiful in front of them, could have accumulated such a fortune. No one believed him when he said he had not embezzled or accepted bribes.

After all, as a minor official of the sixth rank, his annual salary was only a few dozen taels. Even if his family had some property, he could not carry tens of thousands of taels of silver notes with him.

Not to mention his usual pretense of being honest and upright. Except for the official who had bribed the official from the Ministry of Personnel, all the officials present thought he was a truly honest and upright official.

Leng Qingyi looked at the surprised expressions on the faces of most officials below, and the corners of his mouth were almost curled into a Nike shape.

She said that she was not only able to conquer the world but also to protect it. After all, she could tell who was truly rich and who was truly poor just by pinching them with her little hands.

She has been to the world of immortal cultivation and the world of Taoism many times, so this simple calculation is not difficult for her.

Looking at the ministers with embarrassed expressions on their faces, she knew without any further calculation that these people must have consulted this Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department before. After all, the assessment of officials was the responsibility of this Langzhong of the Examination and Reward Department.

"Your family is poor, yet you casually carry tens of thousands of taels of silver on your person. You say your family is poor, but what crime should you be punished for deceiving the emperor like this?"

The man immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. This is all the money in my family. It is my wife's dowry. How can I, a man with great ambitions, spend my wife's dowry? I really did not deceive Your Majesty. My family is indeed poor and I dare not deceive you."

Leng Qingyi ignored him and glanced at the ministers below. There must be some blood today, otherwise these ministers will not be obedient. So let her choose who will be the unlucky guy to accompany this doctor on the road today.

From those who look strange, pick out a person who has committed serious sins to be the unlucky one.

Leng Qing pointed at a young man standing in the last few rows.

"You, yes you, come out."

I have to say that Leng Qing was really accurate in his selection, and he picked someone of status at once.

Having a status does not mean that he holds a high official position, but that he has some kind of kinship with the Duke of Zhenguo. He usually commits crimes under the banner of the Duke of Zhenguo. Because he has committed too many crimes and is afraid of failing the official assessment, he found this doctor in the examination company to bribe him.

Although Yan Zili was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, he only dared to show off his power in front of the powerless civilians. That was why he could act so arrogantly under the banner of the Duke of Zhenguo. Being able to attend the morning court was a gift to the Duke of Zhenguo. His official position was a sinecure, and no one would care even if he did not attend the court on weekdays.
