    **Nothing else.  A few days ago, Shangshu ordered Zhan Shiyuan Xian to participate in the case of corruption and perversion of the law, and investigated and punished him for embezzling money and silk from the treasury and reselling Anmincang grain.  This matter had already been suppressed by Mr. Jiang, but Yuan Xian was upright and kept conducting secret investigations and uncovered more evidence of the crime.  Zhang Lihua suddenly said angrily: "What do you want me to say to you? You have no worries about food and clothing now. The property the emperor has given you over the years alone is enough for you to last a lifetime, but why do you always think about doing those things?  Illegal thing?" ** immediately said with a grimace: "Isn't this all because I was afraid of poverty when I was a child? At that time, our family was so poor that we couldn't take care of ourselves. My mother didn't want us to remarry, and my father had a lot of money.  When I was young, I went to serve as a soldier, but I was insulted and deprived of military pay by the officers. I remember that day when my father came back, he was bruised and bruised. He only bought one steamed bun with a month's military pay, but he endured hunger and shared it with us brothers and sisters" Childhood memories  Life has always been a shadow in her heart. Every time he made a mistake, Zhang Lihua couldn't bear to blame him anymore.  "Okay! I will say hello to Yuan Xian!" Zhang Lihua immediately interrupted her brother. If she continued to listen, she might not be able to help but shed tears.  "Thank you, sister!" This trick worked every time, and ** suddenly beamed.  Zhang Lihua rolled her eyes angrily, how could a brother like him watch him be punished by national law.  It's just that her brother doesn't have a long memory at all. This is not the first time. If he is not restrained, something will happen sooner or later.  "This time, I won't do it again! I will transfer the money from the treasury chief from the internal funds first. As for the grain that was resold in the granary, you will fill it back as soon as possible. If Yuan Xian is upright, I can only delay him from reporting you to the emperor.  As long as the hole is blocked, I can plead for mercy." **Suddenly smiled confidently: "Don't worry, sister! As long as we can delay it for three days, I will solve it together!" Zhang Lihua questioned.  He said: "Money and silk are fine, but how can those hundreds of thousands of denier of food be solved in three days?" Seeing that Zhang Lihua didn't believe it, ** said proudly: "Sister, I am looking down on my brother too much!  Three days is just a cautious statement for my brother. In fact, it can be solved in just one day.¡± Under Zhang Lihua¡¯s questioning, ** finally revealed the truth.  It turns out that since ** took up the post of Da Si Nong, he was hit by the mental shadow of his poor family when he was a child. As he was in charge of the treasury and granary of Da Chen State, he took advantage of his authority to embezzle money and silk from the treasury, expand the cost of minting coins, and resell the treasury.  They made money by stockpiling food and other means.  Originally, the government was worried that Yuan Xian would find out evidence of his corruption and bending the law. However, in the past six months, the Sui army had carried out detailed operations to destroy Chen State's granaries and assassinate court officials, so the government saw the best opportunity to destroy the evidence.  Many granaries that had been sold out by the police were simply burned down, falsely claiming that Chen Jun had destroyed them.  Many lower-line officials who had embezzled money and violated the law with the Communist Party were also assassinated by the Communist assassins, and were also blamed on the assassination operations carried out by the Sui army.  In this way, Yuan Xian could not find any evidence of murder.  Zhang Lihua couldn't help being shocked after hearing **'s explanation. Her brother, who had always been mediocre, now dared not look down upon him.  ** smiled and said, "After being an official for these years, of course you have to make some progress, right?" After Zhang Lihua knew that ** could successfully avoid Yuan Xian's investigation, Zhang Lihua felt relieved.  However, he was dissatisfied with his brother's actions and said: "No wonder there is a food shortage in the capital. I'm afraid it has something to do with my brother!" **I trusted my sister, so I never thought of hiding it from her, so I nodded and said, "That's okay.  Isn't it for our Zhang family? Money can make all the difference these days. No matter whether my sister can become the queen or not, as long as we have money, are we afraid that when the time comes, we will throw a lot of gold at him?  Are the civil and military officials still obediently surrendering to us?" Zhang Lihua nodded with relief. She always thought that her brother was too simple and needed to take care of everything by herself, but now it seems that she no longer has to worry.  "Don't expose your wealth. Brother, it's better to hide the money for emergencies." "Sister, don't worry about this. I have already thought of a place for you. I just need to invite the top mechanism masters to arrange it and you'll be done.  "This is related to the future rise and fall of the Zhang family. Brother, you need to be careful." "Of course!" The two brothers smiled at each other, and the country's wealth became the private property of the Zhang family.  Zhang Lihua left the matter of the Crown Princess to the eunuch Cai Lin'er with full authority, but Cai Lin'er was a good hand.  Since Zhang Lihua has secretly chosen Xiao Jing as the crown princess, other women who participated in the election will naturally be eliminated.  Just to take into account the face of the noble family and block the mouths of the subjects of the world, everything is selected according to the procedures as usual, and the money should be collected.Accept and persuade those who should be persuaded to retreat, and the face of all major forces should be taken into account without offending.  However, with the appointed candidate, everything will be simplified and expedited.  The first step, the "audition", was to select girls between the ages of twelve and sixteen from all over the country. It took less than three days to select hundreds of mediocre-looking women and the process was hastily completed.  The second and third rounds were conducted at the same time. After some inspection, those girls who were too tall, short, fat and thin were eliminated.  If anyone's facial features, hair, skin, voice, and manners are not in compliance with the regulations, they will be eliminated.  Due to special arrangements, there were less than twenty people left after three rounds.  Fortunately, Xiao Jing is both talented and beautiful, and she stands out among the women. Cai Lin'er doesn't need special care, which saves him a lot of worry.  Seeing his sister pass five levels and kill six generals to successfully enter the selection, Xiao Yi felt anxious in his heart.  Unexpectedly, Xiao Jing took the weight and became determined. No matter how Xiao Yi persuaded her, she would not give up.  Especially when Xiao Mohe learned that Xiao Jing was participating in the selection of the crown princess, he sent people several times to tell her not to do so, but it was counterproductive.  Seeing Xiao Mohe¡¯s objection, Xiao Jing became even more determined.  When Xiao Yi went to Jinling Academy, Xiao Jing accompanied him as usual, but the two siblings still had a cold war, but they didn't speak.  After returning home from class, Xiao Jing placed the scallion oil rice that had already been prepared on the dining table and sat next to it with a smile.  He hadn't seen his sister sitting with him for a meal for several days. Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask: "Sister, why don't you eat together?" "Sister has already eaten!" Xiao Jing saw her brother looking at her with doubt, and she immediately  He glared and said, "Aren't you having a cold war with your sister? If you are willing to give in, my sister will have dinner with you."  Is it rare?  Xiao Yi immediately curled his lips, rolled his eyes at his sister angrily, and started eating.  He will not give in!  Seeing that her brother was eating deliciously, Xiao Jing smiled faintly and turned around to go to the kitchen.  Xiao Yi insists on exercising every day, but at such a young age, he eats a big bowl full.  After burping happily, Xiao Yi was ready to go out for a walk.  When walking near the kitchen, Xiao Yi felt greedy again and planned to go in to see if there was anything delicious, but unexpectedly saw his sister eating something secretly there.  I saw Xiao Jing filling a bowl of water, pouring some soy sauce into it, and wolfing down some unknown wild vegetables.  Xiao Yi was suddenly stunned.  He understood that his sister was not devouring the food because it was delicious, but because she was unbearably hungry.  It must be because she had no money to buy rice to cook, so Xiao Jing said she had eaten it.  He endured the difficulty of swallowing soy sauce water and wild vegetables alone, but he made fragrant rice with the only rice he had and left it to his younger brother.  It turns out that this is what my sister is eating these days!  Xiao Yi¡¯s heart was like a knife being twisted, and tears suddenly flowed down unsatisfactorily.  Xiao Yi knew that his sister was someone who wanted to save face, so he suppressed his sobs and quietly left the kitchen, then went back to the room alone.  That night Xiao Yi suffered from insomnia for the first time.  The next morning, Xiao Jing, who had always had early habits, did not get up.  Xiao Yi called her sister several times but she didn't wake up, but she was shocked when she came closer to visit her.  I saw that my sister was pale, her lips were blue, and her forehead was extremely hot. She was obviously sick.  Xiao Jing was in a coma. Xiao Yi pushed her a few times but still didn't respond, and she suddenly became nervous.  Xiao Yi decided to ask a doctor immediately, but he searched all over the place where his sister usually kept money and could not find a penny.  Thinking of what he saw yesterday, Xiao Yi suddenly felt sad.  Stroking the jade pendant on his chest, although it was the only souvenir left by his mother, but thinking that his sister was in urgent need of medical treatment and life-saving treatment, Xiao Yi couldn't care less and had to pawn it.  ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù The Zhang brothers and sisters have depleted the Chen treasury. What impact will this have on the Sui Dynasty, which is about to conquer Chen?  Xiao Jing is unofficially appointed as the crown princess, can she really get her wish?  His sister was ill in bed, so Xiao Yi had to pawn the jade pendant left by his mother.  That jade pendant is engraved with the word "Ming Yue", what does it mean, and what will it lead to?  Predicting what will happen next, please stay tuned for the next chapter update.
