The next day!
After the morning court!
Yan Jiaojiao was intercepted by Li Dachang again!
"Princess Xile, please stay!" Li Dachang stepped forward quickly!
"Eunuch Li?" No need to think, it was the emperor looking for him again!
"Princess Xile, the Emperor invites you!"
Hearing this, Yan Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue. She was no longer surprised!
"There's nothing we can do. After the morning court session, the Emperor loves to get together with Princess Xile!" Li Dachang smiled!
"Let's go!"
[Go and see what's going on today! ]
System: [Host, could it be that the old emperor has changed his mind? I guess he won’t let you give back the coral reef you took yesterday!]
Yan Jiaojiao: [What are you thinking about? He didn’t say anything at the court just now, so why would he say it in private? This would make him look like a petty person!]
Imperial Study Room....
Emperor Deyuan had sharp ears and knew that Yan Jiaojiao had arrived outside the palace!
Because he heard the whole gossip conversation between her and the system!
You say he is a villain, but how can he, a great emperor, go back on his word? What do you think of him?
"Jiaojiao, here I come!" Emperor Deyuan adjusted his posture and looked serious!
"Long live the emperor!" Yan Jiaojiao bowed and saluted when she entered the palace. It was a rare formal performance today!
"Oh, Jiaojiao is very sensible today!" Is she afraid that he will go back on his word and take the coral reef back?
Come on, if the coral reef is taken back to him, it will definitely be worthless! It is possible that it will become a waste in a minute! It is better to leave it in the hands of this little girl!
Anyway, the money in the treasury has increased several times! It can be turned over!
"Your Majesty, why did you ask Jiaojiao to come here?"
"Please sit down first, I will tell you slowly!" To be honest, he really had something to discuss with her!
[The sun rises from the west today? The emperor wants to discuss serious matters with this fairy? ]
System: [Host, are you going to be reused? The old emperor looks like he has state affairs to discuss with you! ]
[You think too highly of me! Although I know everything, I won’t necessarily tell him!] Just listen to the question and think of a way to fool him later!
Emperor Deyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, curled the corners of his mouth, and was speechless!
"Your Majesty, what do you want to discuss with Jiaojiao?" She was ready to talk nonsense in a serious manner!
"After you left yesterday, I asked someone to count the treasury bills and found that a sum of money was missing!"
[Are you short of money? Let me check first! ]
System: [Host, no need to check, the old emperor has lost one thousand taels! ]
[It's only one thousand taels, not much. You can tell at a glance that it wasn't done by a corrupt official! ]
[But I didn't expect the current emperor to be so careful that he could find even a mere one thousand taels! ]
Emperor Deyuan: Is this the point? The point is where did the silver go? Who took it?
Even though it's only one thousand taels, it's silver from the treasury of the Dasheng Dynasty, and no one can take it!
He lives frugally for the people, so of course he has to be careful with his money!
"One thousand taels missing? I didn't take it!" Yan Jiaojiao refused directly!
[The old emperor wouldn't think that this fairy took it! Please, it's just one thousand taels, do you think this fairy is interested? ]
Emperor Deyuan: I like you, but I don’t doubt you!
System: You like it, but you won’t use such crude means!
"I didn't say it was you. I just wanted Jiaojiao to help analyze where the one thousand taels went? Did my subordinates make a mistake in calculating the bill?" After he finished speaking, he took out a stack of account books from under the dragon table!
If you count carefully, there are probably more than ten account books, and this is just the tip of the iceberg!
Yan Jiaojiao was confused: [What does the old emperor mean? Are you asking me to look at the account book? ]
System: [It’s possible. Look... even the account book has been brought over! ]
Yan Jiaojiao: !!!!!!
What was the old emperor thinking? Shouldn't the matter of checking the account books be handed over to the old bastards like the Minister of Culture?
"Your Majesty, Jiaojiao can't read or count, she can't understand this!" Refuse first! She is a girl, only seven years old! Everyone will believe it if you tell others!
Everyone: Do you think we should believe it?
Emperor Deyuan: I don’t believe it either!
"I didn't say I wanted you to see it! It's just that I have a headache! I want to hear Jiaojiao's views and opinions!"
【Listen to my opinion? Are you crazy?】
[There is no need to investigate or ask about this matter. The one thousand taels will be automatically returned in two days! ]
What do you mean? You confused me!
The missing money can grow long legs and come back on its own?
"Jiaojiao is still young and is just a mascot in the court. She doesn't understand or want to understand other things! As for the lost one thousand taels, I have no opinion!" The refusal was straightforward and decisive!
Knowing that asking this would lead to no results, Emperor Deyuan sighed, "I don't know who did it. If I knew, I would never let it go!"
System: [Who else could it be? Of course it was the newly promoted number one scholar, but he didn't do it on purpose. He used the money you gave him to get married, and then his mother got sick and needed a large sum of money. That's why he had no choice but to use some public funds! ]
[The champion is helpless, but he is an upright man and will pay it back in a few days! The emperor must turn a blind eye to this matter, otherwise it will not be good for anyone! ]
System: [Every family will encounter troubles, the emperor has to open up! ]
Emperor Deyuan: So that’s how it is. It would be nice if we could figure this out!
Since the money was used to save lives, he will wait two days before investigating again. I believe that by then... the public funds will have been repaid!
"Your Majesty, please check this matter in two days. Perhaps the Ministry of Culture has made a mistake in the account book!" According to the time, the money will be returned in two days!
Emperor Deyuan listened to the advice and nodded in agreement after knowing the truth!
"Okay, take these account books back to the Ministry of Education for recalculation!"
