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

"Today's play was well performed. All three of you have contributed greatly. You are indeed the three great evils."

As soon as he arrived in the imperial study, Emperor Jiade could hardly suppress his joy.

"Your Majesty, I am so ashamed to accept your praise."

The three great scourges of the Da Chong Dynasty all knelt on the ground.

"That's enough. Li Chengen has worked hard. Go down and have a rest. Ask the imperial kitchen to make some pear soup for Li Chengen to moisten his throat."

Li Chengen, whose voice was hoarse and unable to utter a word, could only kneel down and kowtow to express his gratitude.

Waving his hand nonchalantly, Emperor Jiade looked at the three evils in front of him and said, "Today's joy is indeed due to the cooperation of the three of you.

However, collecting the silver owed to the national treasury is not an easy task.

Those ministers who took the IOUs in the court are fine. Today, I used the short-sighted ministers of the palace as an excuse to give them a good warning. It should be of some use. I am just afraid that someone will take the lead in causing trouble.

These are IOUs from people who did not attend the morning meeting today. Compared with those who attended the morning meeting, the owners of these IOUs are more troublesome.

Reaching out and grabbing the stack of IOUs on the dragon table, which had only a few left, Emperor Jiade handed it to Li Lianggong, who was closest to him.

The first IOU was that the Prince of Huainan owed the national treasury 3 taels.

He reached out and flipped through the documents. There was also the Prince of Hengshan who owed the national treasury 4 taels, the eldest prince owed the national treasury 18 taels, and the second prince owed the national treasury 14 taels...

Indeed, compared to those people outside, this stack of IOUs is a real problem.

Because the people left here are basically royal relatives and princes.

The King of Huainan and the King of Hengshan were the uncles and brothers of Emperor Jiade. Most of them had their own fiefs. After they came of age, they went to their fiefs and were not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.

Some of these IOUs were owed when they left, and some were owed by their sons who stayed in Yuanjing City.

This is a typical example of a wealthy family...

However, as the wealthy man who was eaten, Emperor Jiade said that he would not tolerate being taken advantage of anymore. Not only that, he also wanted these shameless relatives and brothers to spit out what he had eaten.

It would be fine if he just wanted to raise his own son and daughter, but he even wanted to raise such a large family. He really treats bean buns as less than solid food and does not take the emperor seriously.

After all, this is a royal matter, and the second of the three evils cannot say anything. However, the iron-headed censor who will fight against all kinds of people will not care about so many things. When he wants to criticize, he will not even let the emperor go, let alone those royal relatives and princes. Damn them.

"Your Majesty, spoiling a child is like killing him, even if he is a brother or relative.

You are just too good to them and have spoiled them beyond measure.

It is only right for the emperor to give some face to his brothers and sons, but if the emperor only asks the princes and ministers to pay back the money, but does not ask the royal family and princes to pay back the money, I am afraid that he will be criticized by people all over the world.

This is absolutely not allowed..."

Emperor Jiade found it quite joyful to see these three evildoers harming others, but it was indeed a headache when it came to their turn to harm himself.

Emperor Jiade pinched his brows with his hand, looking tired, and stopped the iron-headed censor Chai Liangji from finishing his words.

"Okay, I didn't say that I wouldn't let these people pay back the money.

If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people; no matter who he is, if he borrows money from the national treasury, he must pay it back.

I just hope that you three can save some face for the royal family and not make too much noise. I just want to take back the money in the treasury and don’t want to make a big fuss.”
