When King Huai took over the imperial government, the accounts were very clear. He later asked people to clean up the accounts and listed the expenditure accounts very clearly. The Supreme Emperor said that it would be easy to check, so he asked people to carry the account books.
Because he didn't know why the Supreme Emperor wanted to check his father's accounts, King Huai was a little worried, so he asked Yu Wenhao to go with him.
Yu Wenhao also felt strange, why did he check the accounts of the inner government for no reason? Could it be that the Supreme Emperor had some misunderstanding about his father?
King Huai asked him to go, so he went along and had a look. He also had to look at the expenditures of the inner government to gain experience for himself.
After laying down the account books, the Supreme Emperor asked his chief assistant to look over them. The chief assistant looked through them one by one. Prince Anfeng said: "You don't have to go to such trouble, just look at this year's."
The first assistant found this year's account books. The account books were divided into months. There were several books for one month alone. He looked at them for half an hour before finishing one month's books. He was a little dazzled. "What's wrong with these expenditures? I see."
It’s normal, they are all necessary expenses.”
"It's a necessary expenditure, you single out the reward part."
The chief assistant then followed the picture, listed the silver rewarded by the inner government, and copied it in another book.
In addition to the rewards from the princes' mansions, the rewards from other royal family members and even officials were also listed. After one year, the rewards were really quite a lot. However, since children were born in several mansions, the rewards were also deserved.
However, Yu Wenhao first looked straight and saw what his father had given him in his palace, "Are there so many?"
More than a dozen items, amounting to as much as 80,000 taels, including rice and grain. This was the year Guagua was born. His father had rewarded him once and also given him a gift. He looked at it carefully and saw that it was wrong. This was
Last year, did your father give you so many rewards last year? Didn’t Lao Yuan say that?
Not only him, but also King Huai was shocked. When did his father give him so much money? On the contrary, it was Rong Yue who sent money to the palace as a subsidy.
Prince Anfeng said calmly: "Then, let's see how many IOUs are issued."
King Huai quickly looked through another account book, which was specially used to record IOUs.
Chu Shoufu checked it and said, "The IOU should be genuine, but the account book records that the money was withdrawn. Why is the IOU not destroyed?"
King Huai was startled, "This... this part of the IOU was made by Eunuch Mu Ru himself."
The Emperor's face turned green.
I signed the IOU, but then withdrew the money from the inner palace. After withdrawing the money, I didn't give it out and hid it in my pocket?
The first assistant looked at the account and said: "Some of the IOUs were partially paid. For example, the three thousand taels of silver given to Taifu Wei for his birthday years ago. The IOU was written, and later there was a note that one thousand taels were paid, but the IOU still said three thousand taels.
One thousand taels, there was no change. In March this year, another two thousand taels were withdrawn to Taifu Wei, and the IOU became one thousand taels. In other words, one thousand taels was deducted from this sum and disappeared."
The Supreme Emperor said: "Look at the others, is it the same?"
The first assistant and King Huai checked each item one by one. Their eyes were dazzled when they checked, and they found that this was basically how accounts were done.
King Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This...how could this happen? I didn't realize this was wrong before. After all, there were too many IOUs. Taifu Guang Wei actually had three or four IOUs in his hand. This number
I'm all confused."
Prince Anfeng asked Yu Wenhao, "Are the rewards your father gave you worthy of?"
Lao Wu stared straight at it for a while, his cheeks feeling a little warm, "It's almost... almost? I don't know very well. I don't care about the accounts."
He shouted loudly in his heart, no, his father did not reward him so much. He knew very well, because he would ask questions about matters related to money.
