The Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Chen put down the memorial in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

Since the abolition of Empress Wu Ying's right to visit the court, the right to criticize has all returned to the emperor Zhou Chen.

Looking at the pile of memorials in front of him that was higher than his head, Zhou Chen was a little tired.

It is said that it is good to be the emperor, but it is only after sitting in this position that I realize the difficulty of this position.

Take these memorials in front of you as an example, all of them had to be completed by the emperor Zhou Chen in a very short period of time.

This is not an easy task.

And there can be no mistakes.

Otherwise.

One of the emperor's mistakes may result in the death of millions of people.

Of course, with the exception of Mr. Shun.

This is just a small part of it.

"It seems that we will have to find a way in the future to set up a special agency to handle government affairs." Zhou Chen thought to himself.

He didn't want to be overwhelmed by so many memorials every day, and he couldn't do anything.

It's just that the question of candidate selection has to be signed in by the system.

Except for Taishi Wen Zhong, Zhou Chen couldn't trust anyone in the courtroom.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhao wants to see your Majesty."

At this moment, the **** who served in the house came in and bowed to report.

Zhao Gao?

Zhou Chen's eyes flashed.

"Let him in."

Three days have passed, but he wanted to see if Zhao Gao had found out what the results were?

"The old slave has seen the emperor." After Zhao Gao walked in, he immediately knelt down and salute.

"Get up!"

"Zhao Gao, I gave you three days, and now three days have passed, what is the result I want?"

Zhou Chen asked directly.

"Go back to the emperor, this is the result of the old slave's investigation in three days. Please take a look at the emperor."

Zhao Gao took out a small booklet and handed it over.

Zhou Chen took the small book handed over by Zhao Gao, only to see dozens of pieces of information written on it.

Zhou Chen glanced at it. .

"Three million of disaster relief silver has been taken out of the treasury of the Ministry of Households, and the remaining two million eight hundred thousand."

"With the approval of various yamen, there are more than 2.5 million taels out of Luoyang."

"The surface amount of silver for disaster relief in the four northwestern prefectures is 1 million taels, but the actual amount is 500,000 taels at the local level."

……

Zhou Chen looked at the information on the small book, and his face turned ugly.

OK!

The three million disaster relief silver was 200,000 taels less just after leaving the house.

As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, I lost 500,000 taels.

Where did the money go?

Could it be that they were all lost in the process of being transported on the road?

Especially in the four provinces in the northwest, the imperial court originally allocated 1 million yuan for disaster relief, but when they arrived, there were only 500,000 taels left.

500,000 taels seems like a lot, but how much can each prefecture be allocated for disaster relief in the four prefectures?

Zhou Chen now knows why the situation in the four northwestern provinces is so rotten.

However.

When Zhou Chen saw the remaining messages, he slapped Xiao Zhezi on the table angrily.

"The imperial court of the four northwestern provinces allocated 1 million taels of silver for disaster relief, and the actual amount of silver taels to the local area was 500,000 taels, but less than 100,000 taels were actually used for disaster relief."

"The government office only opens a porridge shed in front of the door for two hours a day. Those who arrive first can receive half a bowl of clear water porridge, and those who arrive later do not."

"The victims gathered at the gate of the government office, praying for their lives. The government office forcibly drove them out and suppressed them, causing civil unrest."

……

Less than one hundred thousand taels?

In the land of the four prefectures, there are actually only less than 100,000 taels of silver actually used for disaster relief?

Zhou Chen was furious.

In other words, each prefecture could not even get 30,000 yuan for disaster relief.

What a terrible thing this is.

You must know that the four prefectures in the northwest are the hardest hit areas, and there are many county towns under each prefecture.

The mere 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver is probably not enough for even one prefecture. How can disaster relief be given to the entire four prefectures in the northwest?

besides.

The government office only opens the porridge for two hours a day. You can get half a bowl of clear water porridge when you arrive here, but there are none after that.

What kind of disaster relief is this kind of disaster relief?

If it was Zhou Chen, he had to kill these dog officials for rebelling.

"Damn."

"Everything should be damned."

Zhou Chen slapped the table and threw Xiao Zhezi on the dragon table angrily.

One million of disaster relief silver, in the end, only a mere less than 100,000 was used for disaster relief.

Where did the rest of the relief money go?

Zhou Chen knew without thinking.

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and there has never been a lack of such corrupt officials in all dynasties.

Of course, there is no shortage of Da Zhou.

Although Zhou Chen had expected it long ago, what he never expected was that these people's appetites were so great that they were not afraid of dying.

"Your Majesty calm down."

"Your Majesty calm down."

The maids and chamberlains in the main hall fell to their knees in fright.

Even Zhao Gao is no exception.

When he handed over this little book, Zhao Gao had already predicted that the emperor would definitely be furious.

I just don't know if the emperor would be angry, at this time, he would raise his butcher's knife and go all out to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"Zhao Gao, I ask you, is this true?"

"Has it been found out who has been greedy for this batch of disaster relief silver?"

Zhou Chen looked directly at Zhao Gao with anger in his eyes.

When Zhao Gao heard the words, he immediately said, "Back to the emperor, it's all true. Who is it, the old slave hasn't found out."

Didn't find out?

Zhou Chen's eyes became sharp, staring at Zhao Gao's heart for a while.

It wasn't until Zhao Gaokuai couldn't bear it anymore~www.wuxiahere.com~ Zhou Chen looked back and sat back on the throne of the dragon chair.

It doesn't matter if Zhao Gao really didn't find out, or if it's fake.

Zhou Chen knew that it didn't matter.

The important thing is that now is not the time to deal with this.

Corruption has been a major event in all dynasties since ancient times. Once it is investigated, it will definitely pull out the radish and bring out the mud, which will involve a large number of people.

At this critical juncture of disaster relief, it is not a good time.

If it is not done well, it will cause internal and external turmoil.

Therefore, we can only wait until the disaster relief is completed and the civil unrest in the four northwestern prefectures has been quelled, and then it will not be too late to settle accounts after the fall.

After thinking about this, Zhou Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, looked up at Zhao Gao and asked again, "How is the investigation of Zhang De? Are there any results?"

In Zhao Gao's brief, Zhou Chen didn't see any news about Zhang De.

I can't help but have some doubts in my heart, whether Zhao Gao really doesn't understand his thoughts, or whether Zhao Gao has other thoughts.

"Back to the emperor, Zhang De's matter was found on the body of an imperial physician in the imperial hospital."

"However, the imperial doctor committed suicide, and the clues are all broken."

Zhao Gao said bravely.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes when he heard Zhao Gao's words.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Take the token I gave you with me!"

When Zhao Gao heard the words, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded; "Back to the emperor, the old slave always carries it with him."

Zhao Gao had some doubts in his heart, didn't he ask Zhang De about it? Why did you ask about that token again?

"Now, take that token, mobilize the Imperial Army, and go to Qingfeng Palace to pass the decree. The queen is implicated in Zhang De's case." Zhou Chen said directly without giving Zhao Gao time to think.
