This house search was the most tiring one Zhao Ji had ever conducted, because there were so many things.

In the end, even though Zhao Ji had already seen the national treasury, he was still shocked when he saw these things from the Censor.

"That's incredible! I never thought that he could make so much money in just one month when I was away!"

A pile of boxes fell in front of Zhao Ji, placed in a disorderly manner. Some of the boxes that could not be closed had a faint golden light inside.

Zhao Ji was sitting opposite these boxes, and at this time there was a steady stream of guards carrying boxes in from other places.

Soon there was no place to stay in this area.

"It can only be said that the officials in the court are really rich now. Just a little bit of money is enough to make this much."

Zhao Ji smiled and reached out to place the teacup in his hand on the box.

"Go find some accountants who are good at math and have them calculate these things overnight. I will tell the emperor tomorrow morning and shock him too!"

The next morning, Zhao Ji presented a thick account book to the emperor without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, I have lived up to your high expectations. I spent an entire night sending people to take inventory of the things in the house of the Supervisory Censor. Likewise, the Supervisory Censor has also lived up to your high expectations and has indeed made some things!"

The emperor was flipping through the account book at this time. The account book was filled with great detail, from large items like jade Buddha statues to small items like gold sand, every single item was written down clearly.

The more the emperor looked through the items, the angrier he became. He had never imagined that one day he would be able to see so many valuable things in a minister's home.

"This is just the result of the Censor's hard work for one month. It is hard to imagine how full the national treasury would be if the Censor-General could work so hard for a whole year!"

Zhao Ji said this with particular sarcasm. At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court gradually divided into two factions. One faction was naturally the upright people. They had a clear conscience and knew that they did not give any gifts to the Censor.

So this group of people held their heads high, without any guilt at all, and even looked at each other, guessing the amount written in the account book in the emperor's hand.

There must be quite a few numbers that could make the emperor look pale.

The other faction had much more people, and they looked at each other and whispered to each other, but it was obvious that they didn't dare to look Zhao Ji and the others in the eye.

If Zhao Ji's eyes swept over and met the eyes of some of them, these people would immediately look around in panic, and no one knew what they were looking for, or maybe they were trying to hide their panic.

Zhao Ji saw all of this. He had to admit that sometimes it was good to do these little tricks. At least he could distinguish most people in an instant.

"I never thought that a small imperial censor could actually get so much money for me. When the imperial city was about to be destroyed, the late emperor also called on all ministers to donate food so that the people in the capital and those not far from the capital would not starve."

"Although I was not very concerned about the outside world at that time, I also knew about these things. It's a pity that all the ministers said that they had elderly parents and young children to take care of, and their salaries were not much, so they declined one by one very quickly."

"Now I know!"

The emperor's face was extremely gloomy, and Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said nothing. In Zhao Ji's opinion, all of this was just the emperor's own fault.

Since the emperor wants to seize power, he should have made foolproof plans instead of creating a mess like he is now and waiting for Zhao Ji to clean it up.

Perhaps because he knew what Zhao Ji was complaining about, the emperor's expression was extremely stiff.

"If you have a petition, please submit it. If you don't, please leave the court!" the young eunuch next to the emperor shouted in a shrill voice.

Zhao Ji knew that the emperor must want to leave the court and escape from here, but now that Zhao Ji knew the emperor's intention, how could he let him succeed?

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Zhao Ji said as he stepped forward with a smile.

The emperor's expression stiffened for a moment, then recovered.

"I just have a small, immature suggestion regarding these stolen funds. I wonder if others agree..."

Zhao Ji had said so much, it was impossible for the emperor to refuse directly. He would definitely listen to what the suggestion was first.

However, the emperor's intuition told him that what Zhao Ji said was probably not a good suggestion, at least for him.

Sure enough, after the emperor asked Zhao Ji to speak frankly, Zhao Ji immediately said: "Nowadays, there are many disasters in various places, the people are displaced, the treasury is tight, and wars on the border occur from time to time. Everything actually stems from money!"

When the emperor heard this, he looked at Zhao Ji thoughtfully. He could vaguely understand what Zhao Ji meant, but after all, the gap between him and Zhao Ji was too big, so he couldn't react clearly for a while.

"If all of this comes from money, then the Ministry of Revenue always said that the national treasury was in deficit, so we dared not buy soldiers or raise horses. We just spent our money day by day on this small piece of land."

Zhao Ji's words were not deliberately sensational, but because they were true enough, some people saw and heard them.

At this time, some ministers still did not understand what Zhao Ji meant.

The other group of people who had already realized what Zhao Ji meant were exchanging glances with each other, and no one knew what they were saying in their hearts.

Zhao Ji didn't care whether other people understood what he said or not. The reason why he brought up this matter at the morning court today was because he had his own selfish motives.

"I think that since this money is taken from the people, it is best to use it for the people. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

What a great idea of ​​taking from the people and giving back to the people. It directly shattered all the other plans and schemes in the emperor's mind.

Such a large amount of gold and silver is enough for the emperor to build several palaces, and even enough for a trip.

However, from what Zhao Ji said now, I'm afraid the matter of the palace is completely over.

However, the little emperor did not feel much regret about this matter.

Seeing that the emperor did not show any resistance, Zhao Ji continued, "I think that if this is the case, we might as well add this money to the national treasury, which can also help the emperor enrich the national treasury. Even if we go to war or do something else, at least we will have money in our hands!"

Most people still listened to what Zhao Ji said, including the mastermind behind this matter.
