Only then did he realize that his words in support of Xiao Zhan were equivalent to the Queen Mother's ability.
This made her immediately panic.
You know, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is Princess Mingyue's servant.
At the same time, there were many people from Princess Mingyue present.
They will definitely spread this matter to the ears of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will definitely be angry, and then their situation will be in danger!
Her grandfather, Lieutenant Commander Sikong, also looked at her with a look of hatred for steel.
Just when Princess Anqi was at a loss, Xiao Zhan asked the Minister of Household Affairs: "What is your official position?"
The Minister of Hubu proudly said: "I am the Minister of Hubu!"
Xiao Zhan smiled coldly: "The Minister of Household Affairs is equivalent to the emperor's steward. He helps the emperor manage the money in the treasury. How much military pay and food pay need to be distributed to the army. Wherever there is a disaster, allocate funds for disaster relief. It can be said that a
Whether the dynasty is good or not depends on how well the Ministry of Household Affairs manages it."
"Eighty percent of the people in Beiyi are hungry. You, the Minister of Household Affairs, do not allocate funds for disaster relief. Instead, you doubt the empress's ability."
"The empress lives in the palace all the year round and knows nothing about external things. As the king of a country, her duty is to give approval on important matters. That is, if the ministers report any major matters, the empress will make the final decision. You will not report the people's lack of food.
,How does the empress know?"
"So the responsibility lies with you, the Minister of Household Affairs, who knew it but refused to report it. It does not lie with the Empress's incompetence. Do you dare to pat your conscience and say that you reported it to the Empress? Is it because the Empress did not let you provide disaster relief?"
"I..."
Now it was the turn of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance to be speechless.
"What? You have nothing to say?" Xiao Zhan sneered: "It is obviously your responsibility, but you question the empress's ability in front of so many people. You want to tell the world that it is the empress who is incompetent and let you
Has Bei Yi become like this?"
"I don't!"
"You didn't. Then tell me, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, why didn't you report to the Empress that 80% of the people had no food and let the Empress issue an order for disaster relief? Or are you derelict in your duties, inactive, in a high position, regardless of the prosperity and decline of the dynasty?
Do you want to enjoy yourself?"
"I, I, I..."
The Minister of Household Affairs didn't even know what to say.
Xiao Zhan looked at Princess Anqi and said: "Princess Anqi, I think it is necessary for the empress to order a thorough investigation of this Minister of Household Affairs, and find out that he is not too greedy!"
"Um!"
Princess Anqi said angrily: "Soon, I will tell the Queen Mother that the Minister of Household Affairs did not do anything himself, but in front of all the nobles in the capital, he questioned the Queen Mother's ability. The Queen Mother must issue an order to deal with it strictly!"
