I asked the lord to rebel in advance

Chapter 876
This matter is too bad, but it involves a lot, and we must be careful, otherwise it will shake the foundation of the country.

Qin Youran and Song Jiayu sent some confidantes to investigate in private, and arranged them in some positions.When the new emperor ascended the throne, he would naturally arrange some confidantes in important positions. This is human nature, so it did not arouse suspicion.

Those people did it very covertly, and for so many years, no one has ever discovered it, so they have nothing to fear. Instead, they followed the instructions of Taiping Emperor Song Jiayu one by one, and never dared to delay.

It's just that as more and more information came back, Song Jiayu's face became darker and darker.

He never knew that in the name of doing things for the emperor, the private treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the emperor of the Great Zhou not only enriched private pockets in the palace, but also embezzled huge amounts of wealth outside.

If all those people's homes were ransacked, they would probably be able to cover Dazhou's annual tax, or even more.It can be seen that he is much richer than the emperor.

Seeing Song Jiayu's face getting uglier, Qin Youran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, don't be angry anymore. As the saying goes, there is no fish in the love of water. This is just the palace and the House of Internal Affairs. The situation of those officials is not clear either. Therefore, Your Majesty, you have to be mentally prepared for a long-term preparation!"

"I didn't expect these fish to be so big, so fat, and have such a big appetite, and I didn't expect the water here to be so muddy." Song Jiayu couldn't laugh or cry, but his heart was extremely angry.

Searching for people's fat and people's ointment is simply bad.

Qin Youran sighed and said: "Many officials and officials protect each other. If you want to come out to deal with these matters, you can't be in a hurry. Especially in the late Taikang Emperor's reign, he was not as diligent as he was when he was young, so many officials took advantage of the loopholes. Therefore, after the spring, Your Majesty will Select some officials and set up a special anti-corruption agency under the Supervision Department to investigate corruption issues."

Song Jiayu nodded, "Especially the river, floods occur every year, and the national treasury allocates funds every year. Are those river bottoms made of paper? When the flood comes, it will be washed away immediately. If there is no problem here, ghosts will not believe it .”

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you have to eat every bite!" Seeing Song Jiayu jumping in anger, Qin Youran hurriedly comforted her, "Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has almost done the investigation, and there are also people who can check the river channels. First, make sure you know what's going on. Only then can we strategize, Your Majesty can win the battle thousands of miles away!"

Song Jiayu drank the tea that Qin Youran handed over, and his anger subsided a little, "Those former emperors and veterans, my brother, because he valued his father's last wish, was kind to those veterans, but those people are too deep-rooted to commit crimes. There are a lot of people. Now that I am the emperor, I must not allow it to become bigger and more complicated.”

"Your Majesty, you also said that the roots are deep-rooted, so it is even more important to sort them out. It won't happen overnight." Qin Youran said reassuringly, "Now Your Majesty's primary purpose is to wait for the harvest of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. By the way, there are also Cotton to keep out the cold, my natal family, my own dowry, and several of my good friends’ fields are all planted with cotton. When the autumn harvest comes, more seeds will be harvested. Your Majesty will be able to promote cotton next year. gone."

Song Jiayu nodded, "We must make political achievements, let the common people know about my achievements, and gain the support of the common people, so that I can be the ruler of the world."
