"Why can't you knock on the door first? You're not a child anymore. I've reminded you countless times."
Ye Feiyun didn't have time to talk to him, so he interrupted:
"Dad, this happened suddenly, don't worry about the silver in your hand."
As Ye Feiyun spoke, his eyes fell on the heavy ingot of white silver in Ye Dashan's hand, and he said with regret:
"Dad, our Ye Mansion has been targeted."
"Being targeted? What does that mean?" Ye Dashan looked confused.
Ye Feiyun quickly told Ye Dashan briefly what had happened when he went to the Ministry of Justice.
After hearing this, Ye Dashan didn't take it seriously at all. He stroked his beard and said lightly:
"Yun'er, your father once told you that you shouldn't get anxious or panic when encountering problems. This kind of thing has happened to us in the Ye Mansion every year."
Ye Dashan spoke truthfully.
The corruption in the Ye family has been going on for a long time.
Every year, countless loyal and virtuous officials submit memorials to Your Majesty, reporting that Ye Dashan is embezzling money from the national treasury and putting it into his own pocket.
The memorials submitted one after another were like a mountain, but without exception, they were all withheld by Ye Dashan's followers, and none of them were presented to the emperor.
He subconsciously thought that his son must have heard some gossip, which was why he was so anxious.
But Ye Feiyun knew what Ye Dashan was thinking, and he immediately cursed:
"Father, that's not the case. His Majesty Mu Tianhao has already begun investigating our Ye Mansion. I told the Ministry of Justice today that we must donate all of these billions of taels of silver and also cover all the food and wages for the construction of the northern defense fortifications."
Ye Feiyun repeated his plan.
Ye Dashan was stunned, his eyebrows raised, his chubby face trembling constantly.
"What? What did you say?"
He worked hard for most of his life and finally left this fortune for his son, who became a wealthy man.
But in the blink of an eye, Ye Feiyun donated all the money. What a big deal.
Ye Feiyun hugged Ye Dashan and shook him.
"Dad, wake up! Something big is going to happen. If we don't pay the money, both father and son will be finished."
"Dad, this matter can't be delayed any longer. We absolutely can't keep this money in our hands any longer, otherwise something terrible will definitely happen."
Ye Feiyun spoke hurriedly, counting the interests involved, but he felt something was wrong.
Um?
Why doesn't Ye Dashan say anything?
When he looked up, he found that Ye Dashan, with his fat and chubby face, was about to die.
His eyeballs rolled upwards and his chubby body fell backwards. It was obvious that he was about to faint.
"Dad, Dad, don't get into trouble, Dad!"
.....
The imperial palace in the capital.
Next to the back garden, there are lush trees with green branches and leaves, and the flowers are vying for beauty. The air is filled with bursts of fragrance, which seems to be fascinating.
Next to it was a deep blue pool with ripples, and the sunlight shining on it made the waves sparkle.
On the far side, in an ancient pavilion with an antique style, Mu Tianhao, dressed in a golden dragon robe, sat on it, listening to what Mu Yanyun said with great interest, with a hint of curiosity and even a little shock in his thick brows.
"This... Ye Feiyun really wants to donate all the silver and bear all the food and wages for the northern defense fortifications?" Mu Tianhao asked in disbelief.
Mu Yanyun nodded pretentiously with a deep look in her eyes.
"Dad, I don't think Ye Dashan and Ye Feiyun are as bad as those memorials say. I feel like they are thinking about Da Gan."
Mu Yanyun explained her analysis in detail.
Upon hearing this, Mu Tianhao couldn't help but frown. His face, which was somewhat dignified, showed some firmness as he thought slowly.
The situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he had imagined.
In recent days, he has received hundreds of private reports and secret reports, all of which are evidence exposing Ye Dashan's embezzlement of the national treasury. The evidence is conclusive and even shocking.
Although he had heard that Ye Dashan was putting money into his own pocket.
But when the water is too clear, there will be no fish, so Mu Tianhao turned a blind eye.
But the evidence above proves it.
In just over a decade, Ye Dashan raised nearly tens of billions of taels of silver into the Ye Mansion.
How much was the annual income of the Dagan Dynasty’s treasury?
His Ye Mansion was actually worth the income of the previous ten years of the Dagan Dynasty.
It was for this reason that Mu Tianhao decided to take action against Ye Dashan.
But he never expected that just after he asked his daughter Mu Yanyun to go to the Ministry of Justice to investigate, such a thing would happen.
Even Mu Tianhao couldn't help but ponder it carefully, and after a long while he slowly spoke:
"Yan'er, what do you think the Ye Mansion means by this matter?"
Mu Yanyun was in deep thought, but she couldn't figure it out either.
It felt like half a month ago, Ye Feiyun had become a different person, even she could hardly recognize him and couldn't figure him out.
The other party's plan was to completely rob the Ye family of their property. She couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to do.
Thinking of Ye Feiyun's recent behavior, she couldn't help but think of it and said:
"Father, I feel like the Ye family seems to be hiding their incompetence."
"Hide your abilities? What's the meaning of this?" Mu Tianhao asked.
Mu Yanyun looked directly at his father, a rare solemnity showing on his pretty face, and said seriously:
"Father, have you ever heard the saying that small seclusion is in the wild, medium seclusion is in the city, and great seclusion is in the court?"
Mu Tianhao was struck by lightning when he heard this. His broad back froze and he couldn't help but cheer up.
This monarch, who had held a high position in the Dagan Dynasty for decades and was always known for his decisiveness, fell into deep thought at this moment.
After a long time, he let out a long breath, his expression solemn and his eyes full of seriousness.
"You mean..."
"Ye Dashan and Ye Feiyun both used themselves as bait to stir up trouble in the court..."
"Just for this moment, to save our Dagan Dynasty from the water and fire!"
"That's exactly what my daughter meant!" Mu Yanyun's pretty eyes flashed and she responded fiercely.
Mu Tianhao was deeply shocked.
If this is the explanation, then everything makes sense, as if at this moment, they are in perfect harmony.
Countless disorganized clues are all connected together at this moment.
Everything points to one thing!
That is...
Everyone in the Ye family is wholeheartedly devoted to the country and the people, and they even come to the rescue in times of crisis.
Ye Dashan withheld money and enriched himself, while Ye Feiyun was extremely dissolute and overbearing.
But one reason is to be able to take out money when the national treasury is in deficit!
One is to ease the conflicts within the court and attract everyone's attention!
