Of course, the Ministry of Revenue was not cleanThere was more than this one loose thread of the Crown Prince that Minister Fan had planted in his ploy
As the investigation into the Ministry of Revenue went deeper, a few other ed by the Ministry of Revenue under the waterThe Supre silent official ied color and was very aard
The Ministry of Revenue didn't have messy accountsIt had too many secret accountsOne after another of the deficits pointed to the use by soation, even such an innocent yae didn't escape
Minister of Appointh there had been proble had implicated the Eldest Princess and the Second PrinceBecause on his side, the money came from the palace treasuryHowever, Fan Jian and the Ministry of Revenue were so well prepared, who knew if they would use some kind of way to harshu furrowed his brows and said”After we ask for an imperial edict, ill continue tomorrow”
”Makes sense,” Fan Jian continued to smile and say these tords
Hu the Scholar's face was cold as he watched the officials of the investigation unitHe wondered how the court have become corrupt to this extentIf the E, Minister Fan would have to resignAs long as it didn't get to Jiangnan, he wouldn't be too responsibleHowever, a large portion of the other officials in the court were probably going to fall
…
…
The Royal Palace was deep in springThere were occasional red apricot trees showing above the loalls of the inner palaceThe green trees and bright flowers contrastedThe beautiful scene could only be seen and not touched
It was already dusk and had quickly turned darkThe doors to the royal study opened then closed, closed then openedA number of officials came then leftIn the end, there was just the Emperor left alone
There was also that old eunuch and a bright candle
Bang! The Qing Eainst the wooden tableSomehow he did not spill a drop of teaIn an icy voice, he said, ”What a daring Ministry of Revenue, a daring Eastern Palace! Do they really think I'm too afraid to kill them?”
The officials who entered the Royal Study earlier were the ones responsible for investigating the Ministry of Revenue by i Eate the Ministry of Revenue and use the e Fan Jian to resignHe wanted to use this relatively open and aboveboard method to re-establish the balance in the court
However, he had never expected that the Ministry of Revenue would be ht, that Fan Jian was htOn the contrary, it was the other departments in the court that had taken countless benefits from the Ministry of Revenue, particularly the Eastern Palace
Earlier, Hu the Scholar had already secretly submitted a memorial about the matter of the Board of Rites and had sorrowfully hinted that it would be best to not continue the investigation into the Ministry of RevenueOtherwise, it would cause great turmoil in the courtBefore the Ministry of Revenue had time to bear the responsibility of their actions, the officials of the other depart prisona slight chill at the Ministry of Revenue's erFroo, why did he keep it hidden the entire time? He waited until an attack on the Ministry of Revenue before suddenly throwing it outHe caught the officials by surpriseWasn't this catching the Erown up with Fan Jian froreat housekeeper of his was capable ofHe was not surprised by the preparation of the Ministry of Revenue's responseHe was angry that the officials in the court were so disappointing and caught by the Ministry of Revenue on such a big shi+pWhat rier was that the Crown Prince was so stupidHow could he dare to give hier toward Fan Jian's incisive counter-attack was because this ”friend” was…
”He wants to threaten me!” The E, with his face full of age spots, shook his head and sighed”Your Majesty, excuseout of turn, but people…are always selfishEven a loyal official like Minister Fan, in such a dangerous situation, he has to think of some methods of self-preservation”
The Ely, ”To use such schehed and said, ”Director Chen also likes to play with such schemes, but in terms of loyalty, even I don't dare to put myself above”
The E has saved my life countless tied the Ministry of Revenue these years and quietly s hed”If Minister Fan truly had a disloyal heart, he had enough evidence in his hands to do so majorHe never made any such overturesIt clearly shows that he does not want to cause unrest in the court”
”He should have at least told entle voice, ”Given the es from the Fan manor these years, the reason why Minister Fan didn't come to the Palace to report this matter was because he did not wish Your Majesty to spend effort on it…Your Majesty should still reo”
The E Tuo had broughtHis eoodwill toward Fan JianHe frowned and said, ”However, the investigation of the Ministry of Revenue must continueIf it is too hastily concluded, ould happen to the court's dignity?”
”What is iht now is Your Majesty's attitude toward Minister Fan” Eunuch Hong lowered his head
The Emperor shook his head”He cannot be the Minister of Revenue anyer lead the Ministry of RevenueAn Zhi is far away in Jiangnanthe palace treasuryNo matter how you look at this matter, it is not appropriate for Fan Jian to continue in the post of Minister of Revenue”
A sense of sorrow rose in Eunuch Hong's heartHe felt somewhat sympathetic for Fan Jian, who had worked so hard all these yearsHe probingly said, ”There is so I am not sure whether or not I should say”
”Speak”
Eunuch Hong's raised his pitch a little and said, ”Sir Fan junior is a heaven-blessed geniusIt was putting the right person in the right place when Your Majesty arranged for him to control the palace treasury and Overwatch CouncilAs for Minister Fan, by conventional reasoning, he truly should not continuethe Ministry of Revenue, but…perhaps Your Majesty still re calendar, it was in this very royal study when it was still vice-director Fan Jian that he had an argument with Director ChenMinister Fan, from his very bones, did not wish for Sir Fan junior to control the Overwatch Council”
”YesContinue” The E in Eunuch Hong's words
”After all, Minister Fan is a distinguished and talented scholar” Eunuch Hong shtly”He is a sentimental manI shall be presumptuous as to say, that no man of sentiment should be tra in the capital and Sir Fan junior working in Jiangnan, things will be much steadier”
The Emperor's expression was caler empress' palace, she also said thisOne, for the sake of the wet nurse in Danzhou, the Palace has always been more protective of the Fan manorTith Fan Jian in the capital, Fan Xian would indeed be nan”
What so-called ease? It was nothing more than secret defenses and threats
”nobility can wait,” the Emperor finally said with a cold face”I will not treat the Fan family unfairly, but I cannot allow the matter of the Ministry of Revenue to conclude like this”
To exchange the power of a minister for the title of nobility, did Fan Jian lose out or did he benefit?

At the Fanhis winter cherry with his eyes closed and enjoying the hed and said, ”I' hihtly darkShe knew this h the Palace would treat the manor unfairly, it looked like the master would have to step down from the Minister of Revenue positionThe Eain accurately and cautiously brought to the Fanthe Ministry of Revenue was still progressing dullyIt had implicated even more peopleThe entire court had already become a pool of muddy waterThe civil and martial officials were all fearful, and the Overwatch Council had already captured quite a few peopleThe Ministry of Revenue itself had been found to have a few proble hard had not yet achieved the wanted resultStill, no one has been able to grasp the secret silver route between the Ministry of Revenue and Jiangnan
Many people, including the Eldest Princess, began to feel a strong sense of uneasePerhaps the silver Fan Xian used in Jiangnan truly did not co as there wasn't a major crime, even the En
”The suhtly and said”The court will need silverThe investigation of the Ministry of Revenue ind downI'll burn so as I can last until Fan Xian returns to the capital at the end of next year, there won't be any major problems”
Lady Liu s for nothing but the flood the heavens would bringIt was like using heavenly htThe Emperor was not a h the pros and cons
”I wonder how the situation is over there with Fan Xian,” Fan Jian said with some worry”The money sent to the river works hollowed out a lot of his confidenceThe Ming family is not so easy to eat in one bite”
Chapter 388 With Reason And Heavenly MightTranslator Nyoi Bo Studio Editor Nyoi Bo Studio MinisterSir HuHu the Scholar s face was filled with a slight smile as he welco the Ministry of Revenue all gathered around and expressed their condolences to the recovered MinisterThe Minister of Appointshu, was not an exceptionHis old face was filled with sincere concern and worryThe Overwatch Council investigating officials had carefully helped block Minister Fan froer to learn whether or not the court was truly investigating the Ministry of RevenueDid the E as Fan Jian was in court, and the Eas Fan Xian was still alive, no official in the court dared to treat Minister Fan lightlyThus, the current scenario had a preposterous sense of coated, was instead being asked after by everyone and carefully protected, particularly the investigating officials from the Overwatch CouncilLed by Mu Tie, the First Bureau had always been, and still was, the yaedHe was their superior s father, so how could they dare to do otherwise The Crown Prince s face turned green then whiteWatching the scene in front of hireat sense of unease welled in his heartFan Jian had claimed illness for many days and did not come to the Ministry of RevenueToday he had arrived and seeazeThis usually secretive and unassu official seemed to have some kind aura around hidoly stand upA warly said, Minister, are you feeling better The Crown Prince was not afraid of Fan Xian, and he did not care about the Overwatch CouncilAs one of the royal faon chair, it was necessary for him to show a certain respectThe old Fan family and their old Li family s relationshi+p was too deepIn Danzhou, there was still the old wo from a distanceThe Emperor was not sure how his father felt toward that wet nurseFan Jian gave an ashamed san because of hness and Sir Hu had to tire yourselvesIt is truly ed some pleasantries, and each returned to their own seatsAlthough Fan Jian belonged to the side being investigated, there had been no publicthe Minister of RevenueHeanyone take over his positionThis was the Ministry of RevenueThis was Fan Jian s territoryAfter everything had recovered its peace, only then did everyone turn their gazes to the vice director Fan LiNo everyone s eyes were the sashu s were filled with schadenfreudeThe Crown Prince was hesitatingHu the Scholar was coldThe Overwatch Council officials watched with furrowed eyebrowsOnly Minister Fan s face was peaceful as if he never had the thought about howLi could is, the Crow Prince had understood everythingFan Jian was a shaan to investigate the Ministry of Revenue actually, it began a few years ago when the Crown Prince had stretched out his and for a loanFa Jian had coldly and clearly saw this scene, and then had used ruthless methods to quietly suppress theso, he had purposely left a nondescript and unassuently shaken, it would land on one of the seven departmentsThus, not only had he helped the Crown Prince hide it, he also got hold of soainst hi also hides the officials on the Crown Prince s sideFroness and was covered up unnaturally wellSo well, that even Fang Li thought there wouldn t be any proble to it was the collapse of the Board of Rites and the Crown Prince s trace of stupidityOnly Fan Jian was clear about the entire process, and he was unusually shrewd and ruthlessHe didn t directly throw this out to attack his enemy, rather, he placed the loose thread in the wild and left a slight traceFor example, the winter clothes the soldiers wore in the Northern snow and coe an to investigate the Ministry of Revenue, they found this loose thread and began to gently tugIn the, they pulled out their own beltThis was a ploy that had been planted for yearsFan Jian did not have to do anythingHe only had to wait until he was being threatened and create so forgotten belt with strengthIt was a good ployThe investigation targeting the Board of Rites had already begunAlthough after Guo You was strangled in the ie of personnelThe docu abilities of the court s investigating unit and Overwatch Council s meticulous search, the transfer form the Board of Rites had made out and receipts the Ministry of Revenue had always secretly kept wereof silver had indeed been sent to the Board of RitesThe question here had the Board of Rites sent the 400,000 liang that had been split into 14 batches to repair the autu patrolled the various places under heaven and afterward joined the Hall of Governmental AffairsHe knew that the various student residences in the various provinces and Roads were still ra and broken downMany of the autu rainThus, his expression becalierHe asked the Board of Rites official in front of hio to Hu the Scholar turned his body slightlyHe glanced at the Crown Prince and sighedEveryone in the hall are of the situation in the court a few years agoThe Board of Rites had always been the Eastern Palace s back garden and did not have the daring to falsely request 400,000 liang and spend itEveryone could guess that this cache of silver must have flowed toward the Eastern PalaceSince it has been traced to the Eastern Palace, it seemed that it was difficult to proceed with the matterHu the Scholarprobleate the whereabouts of this 400,000 liang of silverThe Crown Prince felt his heart juicalMu Tie of the First Bureau of the Overwatch Council did not have the privilege to sit beside these officials, so he was standing to the sideHe looked at Fan Jian s expressionHe suddenly opened his mouthThe silver did reach the Board of Rites, however, the official that handled this matter died in the autumn examination case the year before lastThe Crown Prince was silentGuo You was deadGuo Baokun was goneNow the Overwatch Council had confirmed the death of the person who had handled this matterEven if the Eldest Princess side knew that he had so of silver, they would not be able to find any evidence to give to Hu the Scholar, so his was slightly reassuredAlthough reassured, he still couldn t help feeling a bit sorrowful and angryAunt Why did you do this Unexpectedly, Mu Tie s next words h the Crown Prince s heartHe only heard him say, But, there are always traces to be foundScholar, do you think the Overwatch Council should go investigate the Board of Rites Investigate the Board of Rites Everyone in the hall was startledHe wanted these wolves and tigers of the Overwatch Council to investigate the Board of Rites The court investigating the Ministry of Revenue would clearly ryIf the Overwatch Council investigated the Board of Rites under Sir Fan junior s control, the poor officials of the Board of Rites ht not surviveHowever, Mu Tie s request seemed appropriateFan Jian slowly stroked his beardHis face was expressionless but he was thinking that the brain of this trusted aide of An Zhi s seeuess my intentionsFan Jian s intentions were simpleIf the Ministry of Revenue wanted to protect itself, it had to drag out the battle lines and pull inAfter all six ministries had problems found with them, the extremely wise Emperor couldn t remove all six lanced at Fan Jian and felt great admiration for this old foxHe quickly shook his head and rejected the ideaThe court explicitly stated to investigate the Ministry of RevenueIt would not be good for the ripples to extend too farFan Jian smiled superficially and said, Makes sense makes senseEveryone could hear the shu s face flushed redHe knew his objection made no sense since the Ministry of Revenue s deficit iatedHu the Scholar s expression was also very painedTrying to mollify the situation he said, Let s discuss a bit o and asked for an iate the Board of Rites, then in the end it would certainly come to the Crown PrinceBefore they went to the palace and asked for the edict, as the leader of the investigating officials, Hu the Scholar did not dare ritted his teeth and said, The matter of the Board of Rites will eventually have to be investigatedHowever, there has to be an orderThe matter of the Ministry of Revenue deficit has not yet been resolvedIf the investigation is expanded too broadly, it will likely be an obstruction to His Majesty s edictFan Jian rehness hed in his heart and said, For the o the Palace later to listen respectfully to the imperial wishesWe will follow the Crown Prince s wishes and continue with the investigation of the Ministry of RevenueIf the investigation continued, there would certainly be more problems found with the Ministry of RevenueThat 400,000 was just the tip of the icebergThe Crown Prince did not believe the Fan family could be so clean in the Ministry of RevenueOf course, the Ministry of Revenue was not cleanThere was more than this one loose thread of the Crown Prince that Minister Fan had planted in his ployAs the
