Li Hong is still learning from Wu Meiwei to close his eyes, but the analysis of Ouyang Tong just now was heard by him.


    Is it Jinghui''s experience or Ouyang Tong''s understanding? Don''t forget that he was nominated by Jinghui a few days ago. I hope Ouyang Tong will replace him as Minister of the Ministry of accounts. He said that he was very proficient in arithmetic, but he never thought that he was so strong in discrimination. In a few words, Peiyan was unable to fight back.


    Although there are still many loopholes in his refutation, his confident tone and convincing appearance of integrity really give him a lot of points, which makes people feel that everything he says is correct and true.


    "Nonsense. When did the central government ever receive such a memorial?" Peiyan glared angrily. When Ouyang Tong served as the Secretary of Zhongshu Province, he did not perform very well. How can he become eloquent and passionate today.


    "Is it the memorial of Zhongshu province? If you check it, what''s the use of Mr. Pei''s explanation? Mr. Xue and Mr. Gao secretly investigated the shipyard built by the crown prince and did not report it to me. I wonder what I, the imperial historian, have done to let them bypass Li Qiao and Lord Di, the Minister of Dali temple, and report to the central government? " Li Qiao Shi ran walked out and slowly took out a memorial from his sleeve pocket.


    "Your majesty and empress, just now Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou impeached the crown prince for embezzling silver. The minister thought it was nonsense. The prince was in charge of six departments. No matter which part of silver was embezzled, it was beyond reproach and within the scope of power. What''s more, his royal highness, at the age of ten, served as the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. If he was greedy for ink, he would not care about the mere 10 million taels? As you all know, your Highness has already held the great treasure pot of Taiyi city when he was the Minister of the Ministry of finance. How much wealth is there in Taiyi city? How much silver has he paid for the lofty Imperial Palace we are now in? I think you are all clear in your mind, right? Although I don''t quite understand why Mr. Pei wanted to impeach his royal highness on the charge of being greedy for ink, I have a memorial here. Coincidentally, it is also an account book. However, this account book is from the Ministry of labor, and it clearly records the whereabouts of 30 million taels of silver from the Ministry of labor, including 1 million taels of silver My Lord, should you give me an account Li Qiao respectfully handed the memorial to Lian tie, and then presented it to Li Zhi.


    Although the accounts in this memorial are recorded in the form of traditional bookkeeping, there are still some very clear and highly Wenguan style accounting methods.


    In the account book, it is clearly recorded how 30 million taels of silver changed from 30 million taels to 25 million taels, and the 5 million taels misappropriated by Li Hong were divided into two appropriations, one of 3 million taels and one of 2 million taels.


    But in the end, when the total sum is added up, the book is 1 million taels less, which is the deficit of the Ministry of labor.


    Li zhitie''s face was blue, and even he could see the account. Naturally, he didn''t need the queen to look at it. He threw it directly to Fang Xianzhong, who was standing in the palace: "look, what''s going on? Why did 30 million taels become 29 million taels? Where did that one million go! Please call me from the facts


    At this time, Li Hong and Wu Mei opened their eyes almost at the same time. Their eyes were not looking at Fang Xianzhong, but at Li Qiao, who was elegant and unrestrained at the same time.


    Imperial historian Li Qiao!


    Both Li Hong and Wu Mei did not expect that Li Qiao would become the key point in today''s imperial court. Originally, Li Hong thought that he would be an imperial historian, but he did not expect that it was Li Qiao, the imperial historian.


    To Wu Mei''s surprise, Li Hong can''t be familiar with Li Qiao. Although Li Hong thinks highly of the responsibilities of Yushitai, and even after Li Qiao became the imperial historian doctor, he has always supported the imperial historian''s duties, such as wind, speech, etiquette, etc., but Wu Mei knows that Li Hong and Li Qiao are not the same people. Li Qiao can''t get into Li Hong''s eyes, nor can he look up to Li Qiao!


    However, this memorial seems to have pressed on Fang Xianzhong. Obviously, this is the Zhongshu Ling Peiyan, who impeached his highness, who was greedy for ink and silver!


    The sweat on Fang Xianzhong''s forehead flowed down. In the eyes of all the ministers, it was obvious that Fang Xianzhong didn''t think of his own ink greed, so he was frightened into a cold sweat.


    But only Fang Xianzhong knows that this is a real fake account from the account book of the Ministry of labor!


    How much more did he give Pei Wang one million taels? Which of the repair of the roads of the Ministry of works, the Royal Palace, the inner garden, the forest garden, the mausoleum of the former Emperor, and so on, is not one of the eight million taels of ink that can be easily carried away?


    How can Li Qiao and Mr. Li just take out such an account book with a deficit of only one million yuan? What is the purpose of this?


    "Hurry up, where are the 1 million taels?" Li Zhi looked at Fang Xianzhong, who was like chaff all over his body, and roared.


    "Father, I''m afraid it''s Fang Xianzhong who is not easy to identify, right? Is it Mr. Fang? The 1 million taels, of course, are not a lot of money now, but if we put them 10 years ago, 15 years ago, the 1 million taels of silver would be a lot of money. Tell me, where are the 1 million taels? Your account is not up to, but you want to impeach me. I''m greedy for five million taels of ink. Is that funny? " Li Hong finally stood up in front of Fang Xianzhong and clapped his hand on Fang Xianzhong''s shoulder.He could feel that, different from the previous two times, when he patted Fang Xianzhong on the shoulder, his whole body was very calm, not shaking as much as he had just done.


    Fang Xianzhong was not afraid, but excited. He didn''t expect that after this battle, he was only guilty of missing one million taels of silver, not king Pei and so on. All of a sudden, he was filled with hope with hope.


    What Pei Wang told him last night is clear in his ear: "it''s impossible to keep the position of minister of the Ministry of works. The fifth brother won''t give you this opportunity, but there''s still hope that you can get rid of your job. The fifth one has promised me. Besides, you still have to get involved with the officials of the royal family. You won''t be too hard on you when you come to your mother, but You have to prove Peiyan''s greed for ink in the court.


    Although it was just these words, even though he didn''t know how his royal highness would let him testify before he went to the court today, he was always worried and always wanted to see his Majesty''s eyes act. However, the prince''s highness was dumb in the court today. He was allowed to argue with the officials in the court, and he did not speak much.


    This makes his heart sink, unable to find the prince''s hint, then his guilt will not be too light, so with this memorial fell in his hand, his heart finally fell to the ground.


    Feeling the strength of Li Hong clapping on his shoulder, Fang Xianzhong knelt down on the hall and said with fear: "Your Majesty, I''m guilty. I''m sorry In fact, the 1 million taels are not in time for the minister to make an account of it... "


    "As long as it turns out, where are the 1 million taels! Is it you who are greedy for ink or Pei... "


    "Your Majesty, would you like to listen to the room first and then ask questions after you finish?" Wu Mei suddenly breaks Li Zhi''s words.


    His highness, Li Hong, also had a look of gratitude and palpitation. The empress dowager, who had the same lingering fear with him, sighed softly with a slight tension on her face.


    Both mother and son knew that up to now, of the three of them, they and their mother had already understood what had happened in the court, but the father and the emperor had not understood the whole thing. They thought that Fang Xianzhong would testify against Li Xian in the court.


    After all, the two unfilial sons, when they go back to Chang''an, make a lot of trouble in changmingfang, and even use knives and guns in changmingfang and bleed to death.


    Today, he knew that Li honglai''s participation in the court meeting must be to vent Li Xian''s obstruction to him. Therefore, it is Li Hong''s means to take Fang Xianzhong as an example to deal with Li Xian.


    Seeing that his words were interrupted by Wu Mei, Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei blankly. Wu Mei indicated with his bright eyes that he should not be impatient, which made him extinguish the emperor''s anger.


    "When you return to your majesty, I''m guilty. I should die. I shouldn''t believe the words of master Pei Yan and secretly send a million taels of silver to him!"


    "Nonsense, when did I collude with you? When will I charge you a million taels of silver? What''s the use of a million taels of silver for me? " Pei Yan is surprised. He thought Fang Xianzhong would testify against Li Xian. Unexpectedly, he pointed the spearhead at himself.


    "Mr. Pei, admit it." Fang Xianzhong, with a bitter face, said sincerely.


    "I am not greedy for ink. Why should I admit it? And why should I be greedy for one million taels of ink? You give me a reason Peiyan''s nose is about to get angry. When did he take his one million Liang silver.


    "This Don''t you ask me to support you in front of your majesty for the right servant of Shangshu province? Then you said that when you became the right servant of the provincial government, you immediately recommended me to be the Secretary of the central government in front of his majesty. However, because of the need for public relations, some colleagues who also have the position of the middle Secretary order need 1 million taels of silver to dot other colleagues. "


    "Poof..." Peiyan was half true by Fang Xianzhong''s words, and he even spurted out a mouthful of blood.


    This is a false accusation that makes it difficult for him to get rid of his innocence. He covets the post of right servant. Not only he, but also other ministers, his majesty, know that he intends to save the right servant''s post.


    What''s more, Fang Xianzhong also promised him that he would be appointed as a secretary. All of a sudden, the matter became blurred and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
