Chapter 104 Ruyang County King!
Chapter 104 The Prince of Ruyang!
"Fortunately, I am happy to be in disgrace my fate. The accounts have been checked. Please check the Qiansui Master."
"Li Zhao, what is this thing you used and who made it?"
"When I say Qiansui, this thing is called: Abacus, designed by the younger generation, both addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be used, and calculation is very convenient!"
"Yes, it's a good thing... Well, what's this?"
Li Zhao put the verified accounts in front of King Ning, but he knew that the latter looked down and couldn't understand them at all.
There are no numbers on it, but one, two, three, and si... what does such words mean?
Li Zhao had to explain that the number of words was simple and easy to change, so he changed the original one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, ninety, and the capital one, one, two, three, four, four, seven, eight, ninety, and ninety, so that it would be difficult to change.
"Okay, okay, okay, this method is very good!"
Ning Wanglian said three good words, and his eyes were filled with praise. He didn't expect that such a very smart little guy would appear among the children of the royal family.
At the same time, I made up my mind to enter the palace tomorrow and tell the emperor word for the method of keeping accounts in capital numbers.
Modifying accounts and embezzling money and grain is one of the common methods used by corrupt officials and a problem that is difficult to solve in previous dynasties.
If you switch to this kind of capital Chinese character counting, although you dare not say that you completely eliminate the disadvantages of correction, you can also restrain the hands and feet of corrupt officials to a certain extent. This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.
There is also the abacus, which is also a good thing. The craftsmen should also copy a few of them and show them to the emperor and promote them as soon as possible.
...
Next, King Ning carefully checked the account book, but he didn't know it. He was shocked when he saw it. The verification results showed that in the past year alone, Shen Er embezzled almost 100,000 guan of money by falsely reporting the price and altering the account.
There are still accounts to check. Those black income that have not been recorded are probably even larger, even several times or more than ten times that of the former. I didn’t expect that such a big borer was hidden in my palace!
However, the account book alone is not enough, and you have to find the corruption of stolen money!
"Come on, go to Shen Er's house to search carefully to see what's happening!"
"promise!"
As the steward of the royal palace, Shen Er owns his own private house, and is not far from the Ning Prince's Mansion.
A team of guards was ordered to go and came back soon, carrying dozens of boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings... and brought back more than twenty young girls, including Xiao Wu, with a look of panic on his face.
When Xiao Wu saw Li Zhao's figure, he seemed to understand a little, and was moved to tears!
"Damn the damn slave, corruption is so heavy, can you know your guilt?"
"I know my guilt, please forgive me... Uncle, please beg me for mercy. Most of the gold, silver and treasures I have brought, I have given you filial piety. You ordered those girls to kidnap. Now that something has happened, you can't stand by death and refuse to save me... Woo woo!"
Shen Er knew that the matter was getting worse, so he knelt on the ground and begged, hugged Huahua Tai Sui's feet, hoping that he would say a few good things. Then Zhier kicked and kicked Shen Er hard in the mouth.
This was not easy. He kicked off seven or eight big teeth and his chin was dislocated. Shen Er's mouth was covered in blood, but he couldn't even say a word, so he could only keep whining...
Everyone present could hear that Shen Er embezzled property and kidnapped the girl, it turned out that Huahua Tai Sui and Wei Renzha were secretly instructed. It was right to think about it. If no one supported her behind her back, how could an old eunuch dare to do such a crime?
However, this matter is too important, and everyone doesn’t have to say much, so they can only pretend that they didn’t hear it. At the same time, they also want to see how King Ning handles this matter?
If you continue to dig deeper, you will swear to involve Huahua Tai Sui, and Huahua Tai Sui is the princess's younger brother. If this is spread, how can the Ning Prince's Mansion remain?
But if you don’t deal with the two of you in front of everyone, you really can’t explain it?
Thinking of this, King Ning's stern eyes fell on Huahua Tai Sui, preparing to destroy his relatives for justice. Unexpectedly, at this time, two more figures hurried to the garden. A woman in her thirties was holding a boy about ten years old, who was Princess Ning—Wei, and Prince Ning—Li Lin!
Wei was the elder sister of Huahua Tai Sui. When he learned that something happened to his brother, he would be severely punished by King Ning. He hurried over to plead with mercy. He was worried that he would not have enough weight, so he pulled his son over.
"I would like to be kind to Master Qiansui. Our Wei family has only one legacy for three generations, leaving only Renzha's bloodline. If he has a few shortcomings, I don't want to live anymore, wuwu!"
"Father, please spare your uncle this time. He will reform himself, wuwu!"
King Ning - Li Chengqi was originally a person who valued feelings. When the princess and prince cried and made a fuss, his heart immediately became weakened.
What's more, this matter should not be too big. Otherwise, the face of the Ning Prince's Mansion will be difficult to protect, so it will be a big deal, and it will be a small deal!
"Come here, send Wei Renzha back. From now on, I will study behind closed doors and go out at will. I will have to go out at will if I have nothing to do. Shen Er is tired, so help him down and rest!"
"promise!"
Although King Ning was not a talented person, he had seen many big scenes and quickly made a decision. He first sent someone to send Huahua Tai Sui back, which was called studying behind closed doors, but in fact it was a disguised house arrest to prevent him from causing trouble again!
He also signaled his confidant guard to take Shen Er down to rest, and the word "rest" was particularly emphasized.
The guards understood it and dragged Shen Er, who was whining, and letting him struggle in every possible way was useless.
A moment later, the guard leader came back and reported: Shen Er felt guilty. After returning to his room, he couldn't think of hanging beams and committing suicide.
As for how Shen Er hung the beam, it was hung up by himself or someone else for him, the guard leader did not say that, everyone knew it.
Next, King Ning sent his confidant to return all the money extorted by Shen Er to various merchants as recorded in the account book, and sent the girls back to try to restore the reputation of the Ning Wang Mansion.
Things have come to this point and are almost complete, but is there another person not punished!
"Li Zhao, I still have something unknown. I want to ask you for advice!"
"I dare not ask for advice, Qiansui may ask."
"My residence is very vigilant. Someone has no invitations and has not been summoned, but sneaks in. What crime do you think should be punished?"
"Well..."
Li Zhao understood that this was coming to him. The Tang Rule Commentary stipulates that those who break into private houses will be beaten forty times. If the owner beats the intruder to death, the owner will be innocent.
This is the case if you break into a private house, let alone stealing into the royal palace. You will definitely be beaten to death!
what to do?
People are the slaughter and I am the slaughter. It is useless to argue. At this time, we can only show weakness and then exchange for the other party's forgiveness...
Li Zhao immediately stood at the right moment and looked at King Ning pitifully, looking like a child making a mistake, which was very pitying!
"Haha, you can bend and stretch, and you can change your mind. You are such a bad boy. Unfortunately, I don't take this trick. Although there is a reason for you to break into the palace, you can still be punished.
However, in the sense that you are helping me clear the portal, I will also give you a chance. Before you played the flute outside the garden, it means that you are a person who is familiar with music. I will send someone out to compete with you for music. If you win, I will let you leave safely.
If you lose, don’t be a bad handsome official position. How about being a clean guest next to me in the future?”
No one expected that if King Ning proposed such a condition, would this be considered a punishment? This is simply a disguised reward!
Who doesn’t know that being a Qing Guest in the Ning Palace is a top-notch beauty. He spends time with the prince every day, and spends a lot of salary, good treatment, and has face. He is as comfortable as possible.
If you please the prince and recommend it to the emperor, then you will be a high-ranking official and generous salary, just around the corner. I don’t know how many people are trying to get this job.
Therefore, people speculated that Li Zhao would most likely admit defeat and stay in the palace as a guest.
Will Li Zhao admit defeat directly?
Of course not. The Ning Prince's Mansion is indeed good, but staying here is equivalent to becoming a bird in a cage. Although he can be prosperous and wealthy, he also loses the opportunity to fly freely.
On such a day, Li Zhaoning would never obey!
There was no choice but to compare, but I just didn’t know who would King Ning send to fight?
"I'm not talented, I'm willing to give it a try!"
"Okay, Huanu, go and compete with this bad guy!"
"Yes, Father!"
The handsome young man came out and turned out to be the eldest son of King Ning, the head of the four men of Chang'an - the Prince of Ruyang - Li Feng. He has always been known as the name of elegant music and beautiful appearance. He is known as the most beautiful man in the royal family. His nickname is: Huanu!
In addition, this Ruyang Prince is still a person who is addicted to alcohol and ranks second among the Eight Immortals in the drinking: The three dots of Ruyang begin to go to the sky, and the Daofeng Quches drooled, and he wished he could seal the Jiuquan... He was talking about him.
"I have heard of His Highness the King of Ruyang for a long time. Today I have a true face. It is indeed beautiful and beautiful, and it is not bad for the reputation of the most beautiful man in the royal family!"
"I dare not take it. Although Xiao Wang has not gone out recently, he also heard that among the children of the royal family, a genius who can become a poem in seven steps has emerged. I am so happy to meet him today!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
...
Li Zhao was chatting and laughing on the surface, but kept calling him terrible in his heart.
King Li Feng of Ruyang is a famous musician, proficient in Yaoqin, Jie drum, Dongxiao... all kinds of musical instruments. With his own amateur level, he is not a match for him when he tied ten of them together!
If you lose, you have to stay and be a clean guest.
If you can’t lose, you must never lose, then there is only one way - to win by surprise!
