If we don't defeat them, there will be endless troubles.
Zhao Lingying thought.
Your Majesty's goal was to directly defeat the grassland alliance, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case...
"So what if they come back?" Wei Yunyi said seriously, "Since the old marquis was able to repel them the first time, he can repel them the second time. Let him guard the northern border for a few years. Even if he can't repel them, he just needs to defend the northern pass."
"Although the conditions in the north are harsh, the old marquis is a great man of his time and certainly doesn't mind."
In fact, he still hopes that the grassland will have the strength to fight again.
This will consume a lot of silver.
Because Wei Yunyi's plan is.
If the land-based tax system is successfully implemented, I'm afraid that a large amount of tax will be collected in a short time.
Combined with the revenues paid by various prefectures and regions this year, the national treasury will certainly be full this year. In this way, the fortune will definitely increase.
But if there is always war in the north, it will be different, and it will definitely consume luck.
Moreover, even if the grassland tribes stopped invading the south.
He would not transfer Marquis Shenwu back either.
As long as the army is always in a state of readiness for war, at the same time, I will have reason to allocate more military pay to the soldiers in the northern border. In this way, won’t the goal be achieved?
"This..." Zhao Lingying didn't know what to say. She stood there, completely confused.
However, she did not express her doubts, because she felt that since His Majesty chose to do this, he must have other plans.
"Okay, my beloved, are there any other memorials?" At this time, Wei Yunyi paused and continued.
The Dahuan Pill is already being refined, so it's useless even if I stay by its side.
So he thought that he should pay more attention to what happened in the court.
I can't explain it, can I find a way to ruin my luck?
"Yes." Zhao Lingying picked up another memorial and continued, "This memorial was filed by an official impeaching Sun Kejian, the Minister of Revenue. The person who wrote it is the official from the Censorate who was fined a year's salary by Your Majesty last time."
What? After being punished once, he actually submitted a memorial?
He is a loyal minister!
Hearing this, Wei Yunyi was stunned and couldn't help but sigh.
It's a pity that I am going to be a tyrant king, and I don't need such a loyal minister for the time being.
However, he did not choose to ignore it, but asked Concubine Ying to continue reading, wanting to know what Sun Kejian had done again.
"The memorial states that Sun Kejian has recently been secretly purchasing a large quantity of grain, silk, wine, and other goods. Furthermore, he has been secretly contacting merchants in the capital. Therefore, it is suspected that Sun Kejian has not changed his merchant nature and is abusing his power for personal gain."
At this point, Zhao Lingying paused and continued, "Also, there's another suspicion in the memorial: the silver Sun Kejian used to purchase various goods was embezzled from the Ministry of Revenue. Preliminary estimates put the amount at tens of thousands of taels!"
At this moment, Wei Yunyi finally couldn't sit still anymore, not because of shock, but because of excitement.
I promoted Sun Kejian before because I thought he was a potential corrupt official!
Originally, he was a little disappointed because someone reported that the other party was not doing anything and was still lingering in romantic places.
I think this person is so useless. You have been given such a lucrative position as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but you only have this hobby.
Now, Sun Kejian is suspected of embezzling funds from the Ministry of Revenue for profit.
What's this?
This is embezzlement!
And it’s just tens of thousands of taels of silver?
It’s really amazing!
It should be noted that the expenses of the Ministry of Revenue need to be used in various parts of the court.
If the funds are misappropriated in this way, a big hole will definitely be formed, and the operation of the court will be in trouble.
And the most important thing is that a corrupt official suddenly appeared in Wei.
When the two are combined, luck will definitely be reduced.
Good! Good!
God will not let down those who work hard, I finally found a real traitor!
Wei Yunyi was really very happy. The two consecutive increases in luck had actually made him a little panicked. Now that he finally saw hope of recovery, how could he not be happy?
Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be shown, so he looked at Zhao Lingying and said, "This person is making a big deal out of nothing. And why is he always staring at Sun Kejian? It's outrageous. Besides, what's wrong with Sun Kejian interacting with businessmen? Maybe those people are his good friends?"
"What? Now that I'm an official, I can't even get together with my friends? Isn't he too strict as an imperial censor?"
"As for the grain and silk purchased secretly, perhaps Sun Kejian used his own money?"
He immediately continued, "Some people just love to make wild guesses, especially these imperial censors. They don't do anything else but keep an eye on officials who are actually doing their jobs. My imperial decree says that the official who submitted this memorial will have his salary fined for another year!"
Zhao Lingying, who was standing next to him, was completely stunned after hearing these words.
Why does Your Majesty favor Sun Kejian again?
and.
Officials who dared to speak out were punished...
To be honest, if she didn't know that her Majesty was wise and powerful.
Just based on this kind of behavior, he can be called a tyrant. How could an emperor completely ignore the advice of the censors?
Even if there is a problem, there should be no punishment...
after all.
Aren’t these the duties of the Censor?
Zhao Lingying was helpless and couldn't help but say, "But Your Majesty, our Great Wei's ancestral system does not allow officials to engage in private business. Sun Kejian has violated a serious taboo."
