The regent's little Jiaojiao is so troublesome

Chapter 764
Bai Yingying's face was condensed: "Your Majesty, although this incident happened in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the matter involved is a major matter related to Nanchu's finances, so please ask your Majesty to investigate this matter strictly. If not, then I will I can only resign, after all, no matter how much money I can make, I can't afford to be consumed by these moths."

In fact, as early as two months ago, when the Ministry of Households distributed monthly salaries to officials at all levels and nobles in the palace, Bai Yingying noticed something was wrong.

The monthly salary of the nobles in various palaces is very high, the monthly salary of an ordinary nobleman is often more than the monthly salary of a first-rank official in the court.

At first, Bai Yingying thought it was too extravagant and corrupt within the imperial family, but later she found out that these monthly salaries were only money given to the nobles, which is often called pocket money.

The rank of beauty and above, food and clothing are all customized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is to say, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will re-repay the account to the Ministry of Households for the monthly expenses on food and clothing.

And this reimbursement, the monthly detailed bill, only has a total amount.

This figure is astonishing, even exceeding the sum of the monthly salary of the entire palace.

At that time, Bai Yingying raised doubts, but Lu Yuan told her that the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a messy account, if they went to investigate, it would be tantamount to directly investigating the emperor and the nobles in the palace.

This is extremely dangerous for people in the outer court. The previous Minister of the Household Department, Di Qiu, offended Emperor Chu because he wanted to check the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was finally sent to the frontier.

Bai Yingying knew that the last master of Nanchu was Chu Tianci, and before Chu Tianci won the world, she had to clean up the smoky things in the palace for him.

Afterwards, Bai Yingying bribed a eunuch named Xiao Lingzi, who was the godson of the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Bai Yingying asked him to steal the account books from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Emperor Chu was naturally very angry. These people who filled his palace all day, usually nodded and bowed to him like pugs, but secretly ate his flesh and drank his blood. How is he not angry.

"Come here, Xuanxuanming Siyue listens to the wind and enters the palace."

Li Dezhong agreed and spread the word loudly.

The sound of trumpet calls from outside spread out one after another, and after a while, Yue Tingfeng entered the hall.

It turned out that Yue listened to Princess Feng's appointment and entered the palace to teach her piano skills. On the way to the princess's Fengxian Palace, she met the eunuch who summoned him.

As soon as Yue Tingfeng entered the palace gate, she saw Bai Yingying standing in the middle of the hall, and Lu Yuan was standing next to her. The two stood with their backs to him, unable to see their expressions clearly.

But the expression of Emperor Chu sitting at the top was very gloomy, as if the mountains and rain were about to come, and strangers should not enter.

Yue Tingfeng quickened his pace, walked to the other side of Bai Yingying, stood still, and bowed to Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu winked at Li Dezhong, and Li Dezhong immediately took the ledger down and handed it to Yue Tingfeng.

Yue Tingfeng took the account book, opened it carefully, and saw that there were bills for various daily necessities recorded on it, and there were food and useful ones, but the price was very high, even though he didn't buy much food, But according to the price on the bill, with his current monthly salary, it is estimated that he can barely survive a month.

Yue Tingfeng raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this ledger?"

Emperor Chu's tone was cold: "This is the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was found out by Princess Qin and Master Lu. Now, I am handing over the case of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Secretary Xuanming, Yue Aiqing, you must find out whether they are corrupt or not." How much money, and where did the money go.”
