After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

Li Lianggong held a large stack of IOUs high above his head with both hands.

So, Emperor Jiade finally stood up, put the bracelet around his wrist skillfully, then walked in front of Li Lianggong, reached out and grabbed the handful of IOUs, and lowered his head to look at them carefully.

"The King of Huainan owes the national treasury 3 taels, the King of Hengshan, who is preparing to start work, owes the national treasury 4 taels, the Prime Minister owes the national treasury 56,000 taels, the General of the State Auxiliary owes the national treasury 68,000 taels, and the Duke of Yue owes the national treasury 20 taels..."

Although he had expected it, the IOUs still made Emperor Guardian furious.

He no longer had the patience to read on, and after reading it, he became even more upset. He slammed the stack of IOUs on the dragon table. Emperor Jiade looked at Li Lianggong, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down, and said, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Now tell me, how much IOUs are there in the treasury?"

"Your Majesty, I have been working day and night to calculate the total amount of IOUs in the treasury, totaling 2863 taels of silver."

Emperor Jiade was really heartbroken by the IOUs for so much silver. It seemed that this stubborn problem had to be eliminated. If it was not eliminated, the Da Chong Dynasty would be in danger.

Emperor Guardian returned to his dragon throne, with one hand resting on the back of the chair and the other hand habitually fiddling with his Hetian jade bracelet.

"The sound of the beads sliding and colliding was particularly harsh in the silent imperial study.

After turning the Hetian jade beads in his hand seven or eight times, Emperor Guardian finally made up his mind.

“Both of these things have to be done.

Well, Li Lianggong, go back and draft a memorial about the treasury's debt and submit it at the court tomorrow morning.

As for the case of the Minister of Works, the Dali Temple should not mention it publicly for the time being. It should suppress the matter and let the court officials focus on the issue of the treasury's debt.

Li Aiqing, Meng Aiqing, the two of you, one in the open and one in the dark, cooperate with each other..."

Once the shrewd and decisive Emperor Jiade made up his mind, he naturally had to find a way to accomplish it.

Emperor Jiade and his two trusted ministers, Li Lianggong and Meng Qisui, discussed the matter in the imperial study for two hours before releasing the person.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Emperor Jiade naturally asked the two to stay for dinner. However, Li Lianggong, the shameless old monkey, not only wanted to eat but also wanted to take the food. Before leaving, he went to the imperial kitchen and stole a cage of sleek tribute pearl pheasants, packed them up and took them home to eat slowly.

After returning home with the pearl pheasant, Li Lianggong couldn't wait to find his daughter Li Shiliu to present the treasure.

"Shishi, Shishi, look what good things Daddy brought back for you?

This is the tribute pearl pheasant that you praised for being delicious last time..."

As soon as he stepped into the gate of his own house, Li Lianggong began to let himself go and started shouting.

Outside the wall, Meng Qisui, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, who had not yet walked far, raised his head and stared at the closed door of the Li Mansion.

It was not known whether he was trying to prevent the old widower Meng Qisui from hooking up with his precious daughter, or he was reluctant to part with his cage of pearl pheasants and didn't want others to share a share of them, but as soon as Li Lianggong stepped into the gate of his own house, he slammed the door shut, not even leaving a crack for Meng Qisui.

After staring at the gate of Li Mansion expressionlessly for a while, Meng Qisui raised his hand to signal the coachman to leave. As he was about to leave, he faintly heard a brisk voice like a lark coming from Li Mansion.
