Emperor Hongwen took a closer look and changed color: "How did you get it?"
"Back to Your Majesty. This is the data given by the Office of the Internal Affairs. Your Majesty you provided it yourself last year."
Emperor Hongwen was speechless.
This is a cost account for the construction report of the Beiwudang Palace.
"A few years ago, Li Yi was the Minister of Works and presided over the construction of the palace in Beiwudang. According to our past rules, it was appropriate to spend half of the treasury. However, during Li Yi's time in charge, he spent almost 80% of the treasury's silver.
Where did 30% of this extra go?”
"Yes, Your Majesty, it seems that someone is full of his own pockets. Brother Li Yi has always been poor, but because he is not satisfied with the fief awarded by the Empress Dowager, he is making a fuss about engineering and construction and is corruption. The money must have fallen into them.
The pocket is...
"Yes. Since you want to rectify the administration, you must first take action against Li Yi, otherwise it will not be enough to calm everyone's anger..."
...
Emperor Hongwen saw clearly.
This account book is indeed a loss of more than 30%. How did this cause it?
He thought that according to Li Yi's behavior, he should not be like this.
However, now the Xianbei ministers took this as a handle for attack. He was in the center and didn't know what to do. It turned out that these ministers had never been idle for a moment, forming cliques for personal gain and capturing others' handles.
Sure enough, it was Lu Tai's respectful voice: "I am afraid that the empress dowager will be in a difficult situation, so I will present the memorial to Your Majesty first. As for whether to announce it to the public, your Majesty will decide."
A knife is hidden in a smile, and murderous intent is everywhere.
Emperor Hongwen put down the memorial and said lightly: "Okay, I know. I will definitely think about what to do. You guys can retreat first."
How can I sleep after tossing and turning this night?
The Xianbei nobles tried their best to provoke discord. In the future, all open and hidden arrows would be shot at Empress Dowager Feng. The most urgent task is to transfer Li Yi away from her.
But, how to open this question reasonably?
He thought about it all night and had to complete the matter before returning to Pingcheng.
