C126 embezzlement

In the royal study, Yuwen Di was discussing with Prince Mu about the corruption of the officials in Jiangnan.

After many investigations, Prince Mu finally managed to compile the names of all the officials involved. Today, he specially entered the palace to inform Yuwen Di of this matter.

Because there were even some officials with more power and influence involved, Prince Mu could not casually handle this matter, so he had to hand the matter over to Yuwen Di to decide for himself.

Since ancient times, Jiangnan had always been a rich and prosperous place in the Jin Country. The previous dynasty's emperor had thought of relocating his country to the Jiangnan region, but because his courtiers had objected on various grounds, he had decided not to continue.

Although the migration to the capital was not successful, but over the years, the Jiangnan region had offered the most tribute, which could be said to be an important source of revenue for the Jin Country's treasury.

It was also because of this that Yuwen Di was so furious when he found out about the corruption of the Jiangnan officials.

If embezzlement occurred in the Barrenlands, it would mean greed on the part of the officials, not even sparing the lives of the commoners. However, the backers of corruption in the Jiang-Nan region, to Yuwen Di, were challenging the prestige of the imperial government and his rule. One had to know that Jiangnan could be said to be the lifeline of the imperial government. If these officials could get greedy easily, the prosperity of Jin Country would be affected as time passed.

After Prince Mu received the news, he immediately went to the palace to see Yuwen Di. Firstly, because he knew how much Yuwen Di valued this matter, and secondly, because although Prince Mu was a martial general, he was also familiar with the stakes behind this matter.

After informing Yuwen Di of his taciturn rejection, Prince Mu and Yuwen Di had not met in private yet. Prince Mu had more or less taken into consideration Yuwen Di's opinion of Prince Mu's Mansion because of this matter.

When Eunuch Li went to prepare refreshments for Yuwen Di, he met Prince Mu who had entered the palace to meet Yuwen Di, so he hurriedly went forward to pay his respects.

"Prince Mu, what's wrong with you today? Why did you enter the palace today?"

Eunuch Li looked at Prince Mu from the corner of his eyes. Seeing the seriousness in Prince Mu's eyes, he thought that Prince Mu must have not come to the palace to drink tea and chat with Yuwen Di. He must have come here for official business.

As expected, Prince Mu's words confirmed his speculations.

"Isn't this Eunuch Li? Are you going to do something? Where is His Majesty now? This King has urgent matters to report. "

It was important to prepare some snacks for Yuwen Di, but if he told the Prince Mu where he was going to go find Yuwen Di, it would seem that the Eunuch Li had neglected him, so the Eunuch Li had to put aside the snacks for now.

"In reply to Your Highness, His Majesty is currently in the imperial study. This old servant will lead Your Highness there." The Eunuch Li then pretended to lead the Prince Mu into the royal study, and before the Prince Mu could say no, he said, "Your Highness, this way please."

The Prince Mu was very clear about how to walk in the Imperial Study, he did not need Eunuch Li to lead him there, but since Eunuch Li was determined to take Prince Mu to the Imperial Study after giving up the matters he had to take care of, he should not reject it.

"Then I'll be troubling Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li brought Prince Mu all the way to the imperial study. After Prince Mu entered the room, he arranged for Xiao Gui to stand guard at the entrance to prevent anyone from entering. One must know that what Prince Mu wanted to discuss with Yuwen Di was a matter of utmost importance to the imperial government.

"Little Gui, you stand guard here. Without the permission of the Emperor, no one is allowed to enter. You can't leave this place until Master comes back, understand? "

Xiao Gui knew that the Eunuch Li was giving him an opportunity to train. These days, the Eunuch Li hinted at Yuwen Di's various preferences, both explicitly and secretly. It was to prevent him from making any mistakes while serving Yuwen Di.

After being misunderstood at the entrance of the Red Luan Palace, Xiao Gui was particularly concerned about Yuwen Di's joy and anger. She was afraid that Yuwen Di would be angry at him again and cause him to worry about the head on his neck.

Xiao Gui nodded heavily. "Master, you can leave this matter to me without worry."

Eunuch Li nodded his head, thinking that Xiao Gui Zi was worthy of being taught. In all these years, the number of eunuchs Eunuch Li had brought out could be said to be countless, let alone having been reminded by him. However, this was the first time he had seen Xiao Gui.

After the Eunuch Li left, Xiao Gui looked at the door of the imperial study with all her heart, as if she was a eunuch at noon.

In the imperial study room, Yuwen Di was so angry that his hands were trembling after seeing Prince Mu's booklet, as if he was about to eat someone.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." was the foundation of the entire Jin Country, if Yuwen Di were to fall, at that time, the entire Jin Country would have no hope.

"How can I not be angry? Did I raise these people to help them deduct money from the imperial government for disaster relief?" "These dog slaves are really angering me to death."

Compared to anger, Yuwen Di was more disappointed. Yuwen Di had long guessed that there would be a lot of officials involved, but he never thought that there would actually be a few who had always been upright and honest in his eyes.

While talking, Yuwen Di threw a piece of porcelain that was on the table out, making a loud noise, causing the palace maids and eunuchs to be so shocked that they did not know what to do.

Xiao Gui was shocked. He didn't know why Yuwen Di was so angry and couldn't help but be worried about the Prince Mu in the room. But then he thought, according to what Eunuch Li said, Yuwen Di and Prince Mu were good friends since childhood, so Yuwen Di's anger should not be directed towards Prince Mu. Xiao Gui Zi felt that it was better to protect herself in this urgent situation.

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" That was the reason why Prince Mu came to the palace today, it was best to settle this matter as soon as possible.

This matter was not easy to deal with. If the officials involved were to be dealt with one by one, the Imperial Court would likely be greatly injured. However, if they were not dealt with, these people who had escaped the net would continue to be at large.

"I still need to think about this matter. This matter shall be handled by our beloved official. Today, you can go back. "

When Duan Yunfei arrived at the Imperial study room, she happened to hear some movement, but because Xiao Gui said that the Prince Mu was currently in the Imperial study, she thought about the awkwardness between him and the Prince Mu's Mansion and decided not to enter.

When Prince Mu opened the door to the imperial study, Duan Yunfei had not had the time to dodge when she bumped into Prince Mu.

"Greetings Prince Mu." Duan Yunfei was panicking, but she still pretended to be calm and collected and greeted the Prince Mu.

"The clouds are flying over." The Prince Mu said to Duan Yunfei dotingly.
