The quality of the river embankment that was built was good, but all the corners that could not be seen below the river were cut."
"Bastard!" the emperor said through gritted teeth: "Where are those cut corners? Whose pockets did it go into? Has the amount of money allocated by the court for disaster relief been reduced as stated in the secret report?"
"Ling Zhongqing should have taken those silver coins, but it's hard to say whether he dared to put them into his own pocket."
"Then what did you find this time? You don't have the guts to come back and see me when you really didn't find anything!"
"Salt Case!"
"Snapped--!"
As soon as Chi Yan finished speaking, a memorial hit the table hard.
"Is it really man-made?"
"Yes. The money for disaster relief should have been misappropriated and later made up through the salt case. However, the amount of money involved in the salt case is far more than the amount of misappropriated disaster relief funds."
So, Chi Yan told the story of the entire salt case. But this time, for the first time, the emperor did not get angry.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"I don't have any children."
"Then you're talking nonsense!" the emperor swore rudely.
"Father, don't worry! Even though I don't have them here, it doesn't mean that my second brother and fourth brother don't have them!"
"You brat!" After hearing Chi Yan's words, the emperor changed his anger into a smile.
"I heard that not only did you investigate the case this time, but you also became a flower protector, making your brothers jealous?"
"Why are they jealous?" Chi Yan asked nonchalantly.
"I'm jealous that you have won over the left prime minister, a big backer of yours."
"Father, are you kidding me? I am the most inconspicuous idle prince, why should they be jealous of me? At most, I can't let them add to the cake."
"You brat, do you really have a crush on the left prime minister's granddaughter?" the emperor asked with a gossipy expression.
"Yes. I ask my father to grant me a marriage for my son. I want to take the granddaughter of the left prime minister as my concubine. In this life, I only want this one wife."
Chi Yan's words made the emperor frown slightly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I can grant you a marriage, but how can your majestic King Xuan only have one concubine?
Also, although the Zuo Prime Minister has a high and powerful position, Jiang Qingyue has only recently changed his name, and is only his grandson. Therefore, even if a concubine is established, she can only be a side concubine. I have already decided on your candidate for the main concubine."
"Father, this is the reason why I didn't wait until tomorrow morning to ask my father for marriage. I came to you now because I want my father to confer Yue'er as his concubine. I only want Yue'er in this life.
One wife is enough."
"Bastard! You said you want one, you have one, how can such a good thing in the world be possible? Impossible!" The emperor slammed his fists on the desk, and hit hard with profound force, almost breaking the case where he was reviewing the memorial.
The table was shattered into pieces.
Beiming Shenguang, the emperor of Beixiang Kingdom, is a typical northern man who loves houses and birds. As long as he likes it, everything is good. If he is dissatisfied, nothing is good.
He has a fiery personality. Although he is a noble person, he is a typical sweet-tempered person.
So Chi Yan was not in a hurry at all. After he finished yelling, he said warmly: "Father, my concubine was not born well. It is my blessing to have a concubine like Yue'er.
I also ask my father to fulfill my wish."
Although some things are known, they cannot be explained clearly unless the emperor can tell his own story.
