Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 445 There is a way
"Why not now?" Yan Chujing had something on his mind and had no appetite.

However, Chi Xinian stuffed a piece of sweet and sour short ribs into his mouth directly after serving the food: "Because it's time for you to eat now, if you don't eat enough, how can you have the energy to handle those laborious things?
"Even if it's for Dajing's long-term health, you have to learn to cherish your body."

"Hmm..." Yan Chujing had heard such a great truth countless times, but only today, he listened to it.

No one else, just because it was Chi Xinian who said it.

The dinner was simple, but Yan Chujing and Chi Xinian put down their chopsticks within two quarters.

Chi Xinian rinsed his mouth with a cup of tea, then pulled Yan Chujing up and went to the back garden of Lingyun Palace.

In late spring and early summer, the flowers have not completely withered.

As soon as the slightly hot wind blows, the fresh floral fragrance rushes into the nasal cavity along the breeze.

Being dragged by Chi Xinian for a walk among the flowers, Yan Chujing's irritable mood calmed down quite a bit.

Guessing that he had calmed down, Chi Xinian curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Now, you should have the intention to discuss it with me slowly."

"You pulled me out to let me calm down?" Yan Chujing roughly understood Chi Xinian's meaning, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Actually, you don't have to care about my emotions like this. You have been emperor for six years, what? It's time to split your emotions and think about the problem, I still know it."

"But suppressing your temper is not an option after all." Chi Xinian shook his head, "I don't want you to be angered when you are young.

"However, I spent time persuading you to calm down, not just for this reason. Instead, I also thought about a way, and I want to discuss it with you after you calm down."

"Oh? What way?" Yan Chujing looked at the girl beside him in surprise.

He knew that she would help him find a way together!

"Because the envoys of Beiyan are still in Dajing, you can't directly attack those officials whose hands and feet are not clean on weekdays, but you can attack those who have been favored by them on weekdays.

"For example, when a certain official of the Ministry of Household Affairs received a gift when collecting taxes, he exaggerated the restaurants that should have paid taxes, causing them to default in tax arrears.

"For another example, a certain official of the Ministry of Punishment was too sympathetic to accept the fine that the perpetrator should have paid. Another example...

Chi Xinian casually cited a few common examples, and then said: "It's not convenient for you to settle accounts with these officials, but what about those people who give gifts and favors?

"Most of them are related to dishonest officials and benefited from nepotism. But they are not in court, they are just ordinary people, you say..."

"Finding them is indeed a way!" Yan Chujing's eyes lit up.

But immediately, he frowned slightly: "However, these people can owe taxes and penalties, and they are somewhat rascals. In addition, they have no official positions and no scruples...

"Even if we find them and produce evidence, it's not easy for them to make up the money."

"You're right." Chi Xinian nodded slightly.

It is indeed not an easy task to collect debts from people who have no scruples and are used to gaining benefits through relationships.Even if you tell them that if you don't pay them, you will be arrested and sent to jail, and they will be beaten. I'm afraid they still have the attitude of "if you want money, you will die".

It is difficult to deal with such a person, even for those in power.
