The emperor thought about it carefully. If the money was poured into the national treasury in this way, he would actually be in control of the situation. So the emperor only thought about it for a moment and immediately agreed to Zhao Ji's plan.

The Qingliu faction in the court naturally supported the emperor and also supported that the money Zhao Ji took from the national treasury would naturally be spent on the people in the future.

The others were not as carefree as these people. Some of them sold all their property to collect the money and gave it to the Censor, but they never thought that the Censor would fall so quickly.

Some people just sprinkle some rain, but even if it is just a little rain, they naturally can't help but complain about it.

"I think this is inappropriate. All this money was seized from the house of the Censor-in-Chief. Some of it may have come from bribes, but some of it may have been extorted by the Censor-in-Chief!"

"If it was extorted, then shouldn't the money be returned to the original owner, to the poor person who was extorted?"

The person who spoke was a scholar-official who was in charge of money and had some connections with the people in the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhao Ji smiled and nodded at the man: "Very good, you can think so comprehensively, could it be that you are the one who was bribed?"

The official who spoke first knew that things were bad when he heard what Zhao Ji said.

Everyone in the court knew that Zhao Ji was a man of great eloquence. As long as he wanted to, he could even bring the dead back to life.

So no one knows which of his words are traps, and sometimes when you say something to him, you fall into the trap without realizing it.

Therefore, after Zhao Ji spoke, the official stopped talking.

But since someone has opened his mouth, Zhao Ji naturally has to warn others.

So Zhao Ji did not pick it up high and put it down gently.

Instead, he smiled and said, "I don't know if this is just one person or if most of you think this way. I'm afraid you don't know that during this period of time, in addition to confiscating houses, I also did some other things!"

"Otherwise, with just the amount of money, how could you write such a thick book and present it to the emperor?"

These words were like thunder, exploding in the hearts of most officials.

These people are able to serve as officials in the court, so they are definitely not brainless, nor are they the kind of people who cannot hear the hidden meaning.

Therefore, the hearts of many corrupt officials began to beat fast.

"Well, what does he mean by that... Could it be that there is something else written on that notebook?"

“I wonder if my name is on it…”

"If it's just as he said, is there still hope for promotion in the future?"

The anxiety of some officials was directly shown on their faces, but there were some officials who, although extremely anxious, still pretended to be calm. However, they did not know that their pale faces had already exposed their true colors!

Zhao Jipo looked at the expressions of the people below with some amusement. At the same time, Zhao Ji turned around and saw the emperor's gloomy face.

Come to think of it, if the person Zhao Ji suddenly fell in love with was like this, a hopeless case, and even did so many things, he would definitely look unhappy.

Zhao Ji, who put himself in the emperor's shoes, sighed and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't worry. No matter how the money is finally dealt with, and no matter how the man is finally punished, the money is at least in your hands now. Just round it off and think of it as a fundraising for you, the emperor!"

"Now that I think about it, this isn't a bad thing. At least if this money is put into the national treasury, it can fill up one-third of the national treasury..."

Zhao Ji said this with a smile, and the emperor wanted to force a smile at the corner of his mouth, but in the end his smile was uglier than crying.

"Then just do as the Regent said, put all this money into the national treasury, so that it can help the people in the future if anything happens!"

After the emperor said this, he no longer had the heart to continue speaking. It just so happened that no one else had anything to report. The court officials were all anxious to get the news, so naturally no one had the time to continue arguing with the emperor.

Zhao Jize watched all this slowly.

After adjourning the court, Zhao Ji originally planned to return to his residence to rest at his leisure.

But the young eunuch beside the emperor stopped Zhao Ji and brought him before the emperor.

"Are you sure the bribery transactions recorded in this account book are all true?" The emperor asked Zhao Ji in disbelief.

Zhao Ji sent away all the eunuchs and palace maids around him, and then said to the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Since I can write it down, what I keep as evidence must be true. If there is anything wrong with it, please feel free to ask me!"

The emperor turned a page in the account book and said, "This Master Ye was the tutor of the crown prince for three dynasties. Even my brother was once taught by him. Logically speaking, how could he do such a thing when he is so respected? This account book records that he casually bribed a hundred taels of gold!"

"But according to the information I know and the reputation spread outside, Master Ye is a rare honest man and the leader of the Qingliu faction. He has always been incorruptible. How could a minister with such integrity come up with such money to bribe people?"

"Besides, I think Master Ye is not someone who would do such a thing as bribery given his character. Is there something wrong with the Regent's investigation?"

In fact, after listening to everything, Zhao Ji felt that the emperor did not fully trust him.

The most important thing is that the emperor himself might be very shocked that this book could involve so many people.

When Zhao Ji first got the account book, he had a similar reaction, but Zhao Ji already knew these people, so although he was shocked, he was not as shocked as the emperor.

"Your Majesty may not know that although Master Ye claims to be a clean person, he actually has eighteen concubines in his backyard. Not to mention that Master Ye has the entire Ye family behind him. Even if Master Ye wants to be a clean person, he has to see whether those people behind him are willing to live a hard life!"

"Not to mention that although Master Ye doesn't look extravagant on a daily basis, in fact, his food, clothing, housing and transportation are all low-key and luxurious. For example, Master Ye now drinks tea at home, which is only eight liang of Xuanyuan Longjing tea even in front of the emperor!"

"But such a luxurious tea is very common in the eyes of Master Ye, because he often drinks it at home. So the question is, the origin of this tea can only select eight taels to present to the palace, so where does the tea in Liquid Fu's hand come from?"
