Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 66: Drag them all to Caishikou and chop them off!
More than seven million taels of dirty silver!

These are not all frame-ups by Ang Lee!
Even if he wanted to prepare so much "evidence", Li An did not have so much money. It really proved the saying that there is no one in the Northern Qi Dynasty who is not greedy!

If someone is greedy for less or a smaller amount, there is no need for all the civil and military officials in the court to plead for mercy. Zhan Doudou can pardon his sin on the spot and release him without guilt!
Greed for less, greed for less
Isn't this an honest official? This is a good person! This is a role model for the entire Northern Qi Dynasty!
pity.

None of the names read out in this decree meet the above conditions.
The little emperor sat on the dragon throne above, without saying a word, and listened to the whole process silently. Her eyes became empty and lifeless, without any trace of excitement about winning more than 7 million taels of silver.

How many officials are there now?
Even if we add those accomplices who are still imprisoned in Jingzhao Prefecture, it is just a drop in the bucket for the Northern Qi court.

This alone made a huge fortune of over 7 million taels!

It’s really hateful!
She slowly lowered her head and placed her trembling hands flat on the table. Her heart was filled with the desire to tear everything apart. She thought, maybe what Ai Fei said is right. She raised her head and read out in a relaxed tone, "Wang Lin, do you admit these crimes?"

"too much!"

Wang Lin also raised his head, and said with a dead heart: "It's less."

Zhan Doudou's heart moved when he heard this.

She knew that the beloved concubine had "framed" Wang Lin. This was too much. Perhaps Wang Lin did not embezzle so much silver, and some of it was prepared by Li An for him. However, as for the latter, perhaps it was saying that the amount embezzled by the other criminals was not right, and the amount found was too little?
"Minister of War, heads of the six ministries, hehe. Wang Lin, look around! Among those of similar rank to you in the court, how many of them don't have gray hair? If I remember correctly, you are only in your early forties now?" Zhan Doudou asked with a sigh.

Wang Lin smiled and replied: "Your Majesty has a good memory. I am now forty-three years old."

"Forty-three."

The little emperor smiled gently: "You should have been a pillar of the court, and you have a bright future!"

Suddenly, her tone became sharp and compelling. The power in her words even made some of the ministers take a step back unconsciously. "But you are corrupt. At forty-three, you are rotten! Rotten from the root!"

"I am very heartbroken!"

"Among all the civil and military officials and ministers standing in this hall, how many are like you?" Zhan Doudou's laughter spread out, echoing in the hall for a long time. "When the late emperor handed over the Northern Qi to me, I was still young. I never thought that it would turn out like this!! "

"I am deeply saddened! I feel so ashamed of my country!"

"Even after I, Long Yu, pass away, how can I face the late emperor in heaven and the ancestors of the Zhan family?"

The little emperor looked sad and grief-stricken. He leaned on the table and gasped for breath. His eyes were bloodshot and looked red and bloodshot.
"Your Majesty, please don't blame yourself too much. This is all my fault!" The Queen Mother's voice sounded from behind the pearl curtain.

There was heartache and self-blame in his words, but more than that, there was a fierce murderous intent towards the person in the audience!
As the emperor and the empress dowager finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads in deathly silence.
The entire main hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Li An lowered his head somewhat uncomfortably. It was not appropriate to speak at this time. He had to hand over the entire stage to the little emperor, letting her vent her emotions. His own plans were secondary and could be postponed.

I didn't expect that the amount obtained this time was so huge, it could be said that the fake became real. Look how angry Doudou is!
And Wang Lin's sentence "less".
Very suspicious!
Li An glanced at Yu Huatian in a way that was hardly noticeable.
good boy!
Yu Huatian seemed to sense something, and raised his head slightly to show a simple and honest smile to Empress Defei, but in the end, he lowered his head again because of the latter's stare.
When Li An was looking at Yu Huatian, he didn't know that the person behind the pearl curtain was also looking at his profile with a strange expression.

The Queen Mother pursed her lips.

Before, because of Li An's behavior of ignoring the world and emerging so quickly, the Queen Mother had become more wary of this heart-thrilling beauty. She was afraid that after she became more powerful, she would use the identity of Her Majesty's daughter as a threat to interfere in the court.

It turns out that she has a far-sighted vision!
It's only been two days, and her subordinate Yu Huatian has made such a big move to steal more than 7 million taels! Even the national treasury only has more than 10 million taels of silver at this time!
And this is what was accumulated thanks to the good weather and harvests in the country in the past two years!

Your Majesty, how many days have you been on the throne?

Li An'er has earned such a great contribution, greatly enriching the national treasury! No matter how Your Majesty governs in the future, no matter what he wants to do, even if it is to recruit a new army, it is enough!
Having prepared such a great achievement, she took the opportunity today to instigate Zhuang Mohan to become the queen. It really makes people happy and surprised, love and fear!

The Queen Mother's heart was very complicated at this time.
The whole scene was going on with countless people doing strange things. Just when the atmosphere was about to solidify, Zhan Doudou, who had calmed down for a long time, finally spoke again: "I know that some of you are more corrupt than this kneeling man! I advise you, you have also read the books of sages, and even those who have served as soldiers and generals have received the grace of the late emperor."

"today!"

"If anyone has made mistakes in the past, accepted bribes, or embezzled money, please write down your mistakes and return the dirty money to the state treasury! I promise that major responsibilities will be reduced to minor ones, and minor responsibilities will be eliminated! Past cases of embezzlement and bribery will not be punished!"

The implication is that it also provides a step, a plan for atonement:

For those who had made mistakes before, she would write them down to make amends for their mistakes, and those who should compensate would compensate and those who should confine would confine; for those who had been greedy for money, as long as they could return the silver to the treasury and ensure that the amount was correct, she would not pursue them anymore!

Huh?
It turns out that His Majesty has not forgotten what he promised
So how much of her anger just now was real and how much was fake?
Ang Lee resisted the urge to touch his chin and started thinking. After a moment, he gave a score for Zhan Doudou's performance: ten points!
Very high!
That’s right! This is also what Ang Lee proposed to Zhan Doudou.
Don't expect the ministers in the audience to really write down their mistakes and return the stolen money. Isn't this handing the emperor's handle? If they really do this, then the whole court will be ruled by His Majesty alone. Where does this put them?
what?
You mean writing anonymously and returning it secretly?
That's impossible!
They still didn't believe it. How many people in the court were not greedy? Who didn't make mistakes? Could His Majesty really kill everyone? Would the court still be able to function?
In view of this, Li An will have a reason to investigate Baiguan later.
If they find out something, I think these "righteous" ministers will have nothing to say! After all, His Majesty has given you a way out, and if you don't take it, it's deceiving the emperor. Knowing the law and breaking it and trying to conceal it, the crime is even more serious!
If Li An doesn’t take all the money from all nine clans, he will no longer be called Li!

No one is in office?

There are too many scholars in this world. In the Northern Qi Dynasty, as long as the people of the right age have some conditions, there are ten scholars among ten people! When Li An is short of money one day, he will pick the fattest one and kill him. That's called a wave of wealth!

Seeing that all the ministers were talking in low voices, Zhan Doudou waved his hand, as if he had lost interest in talking, and said coldly:
"Drag this kneeling man out of the palace! Right there at the vegetable market entrance, under the gaze of the people of the city."

"Cut it off!"
