After Zhu Biao left the imperial study, he saw a few guys probing his brain in the distance, Zhu Biao didn't have to think about it to know that it was the three brothers who came, and who dared to be in the palace near Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial study.

Zhu Biao was not in the mood to pay attention to them, and led Liu Jin and the others to prepare to go to the official office of the household department, and there were a few more people behind him after a few steps, and the second Zhu Fan came up and asked with a hippie smile: "Brother, what's the situation, take the younger brothers to open their eyes?" ”

The third Zhu Di and the fourth Zhu Di also nodded, since they went to the battlefield, they have grown up a lot, but their nature is difficult to change, they still can't calm down to study, and they are really going crazy recently.

Zhu Biao frowned and said: "Then follow honestly, today's matter is not a joke, and you are not allowed to talk too much for a while." ”

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, the three brothers neatly did a sealing job, and then followed Zhu Biao neatly.

Liu Jin looked at the position he had been seized and was a little aggrieved, it stands to reason that he was the only one who could follow the prince closely, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Waiting out of the palace gate of the inner palace, Zhu Biao was already densely guarded by soldiers behind him, and the leader Zhu Biao also knew, although he didn't know what it was called, but he was the one who guarded the big tent every night during Zhu Biao's Northern Expedition, which showed that he was trustworthy.

The group rushed to the front of the official office of the household department, and the Shangshu of the criminal department hurriedly greeted him, and after seeing Zhu Biao and the three brothers behind him, he saluted and said: "The ministers see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three Royal Highnesses of the Prince." ”

Zhu Biao glanced at him: "Where are all the people in the household department?" ”

The secretary of the criminal department bowed down and replied: "They are all already detained in the side courtyard, and the relevant account books and classics have been sealed, just waiting for you to come, just ......"

Zhu Biao said in a deep voice: "Just what? ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately bowed his head and said: "When the people from the Criminal Department arrived at the Household Department, someone inside had already begun to destroy the account books, and after controlling the household official, it has been found that this person has burned a total of thirteen account books, and the minister is guilty, please punish His Highness." ”

Zhu Biao didn't have the slightest surprise, looked at the head under the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and said: "The fine is two months, if there is another accident, it will not be so simple." ”

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately responded: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the household department has been completely controlled, and there will be no other accidents with the guarantee of the minister's life." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, it seems that the accounts outside the household department have been burned, which is also the reason why Zhu Biao arranged for the criminal department to take over the household department, or just let the pro-army governor's mansion manage it.

Zhu Biao walked in and saw that the ground was full of account books and documents, and as Zhu Biao nodded, under the supervision of the palace guards, the officials of the Criminal Department began to check the account books of the Ministry of Households.

Zhu Biao walked into Lu Chang's room, in addition to official documents, there were many calligraphy and painting seals, all of which were placed in a row, and it could be seen that although they were not too expensive, they were well maintained.

Zhu Biao was not interested after taking a look, Zhu Fan and the three obviously didn't understand calligraphy and painting, but they still pretended to look at it.

An hour later, the secretary of the criminal department came in to report: "Your Highness, it will take a while for the annual account verification to be completed, but the impeachment of Wang Yushi can still be determined, and the officials of the household department have also taken the initiative to admit their guilt." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, and took the list handed over by the secretary of the Criminal Department, which was the household officials who had descended from Lu Chang to the state capital, and the list of thousands of people up and down was here.

Zhu Biao opened and turned a few pages, the suspects were all circled, only a few people were not circled, these were just names written in ink in front of Zhu Biao, but the butcher knife fell and it was a life.

There were no outsiders in the house, so Zhu Biao asked directly: "How many of them are honest and honest in this list?" ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department replied: "Except for a few nobles in the household department of the capital, even if the remaining officials are not greedy for silver, they have more or less brought some grain home. ”

Zhu Biao frowned and said: "Go and check, if it is really difficult at home, and you only take food for subsistence, then you will be exempted from this list." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department also breathed a sigh of relief, the fall of the household department is not beneficial to everyone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to open the net, and they will be able to do things in a measured manner, and the framework of the household department can be maintained.

Zhu Biao shook his head, there are hundreds of officials in the capital, plus thousands of officials below, Zhu Biao has to leave at least half.

This time, it is definitely necessary to catch big fish and release small fish, and to remove old ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty like Lu Chang in a targeted manner, there is no way, Lu Chang is down, and the household department will not be able to tolerate them.

Eh, hey~

Zhu Biao's thoughts were interrupted by obscene laughter, and when he looked up, the three guys gathered around and didn't know what they were looking at, but they could only hear the uncontrollable laughter of the second Zhu Zhang.

Zhu Biao thought about it and made it clear that in this era, the only thing that could make three teenagers who were not interested in calligraphy and painting classics happily gather around to study together.

Zhu Biao looked at their backs and smiled at the corners of his mouth, and before he knew it, the three younger brothers had also grown up, and he was still wondering how these three guys could be quiet for so long.

Zhu Biao stepped forward gently, and several mellow images could be seen from their gaps...

Zhu Biao stuck to Zhu Di's back, wrapped his arm around the other two and asked softly, "What good things do you see?" ”

Zhu Biao obviously felt that Zhu Di trembled instantly, the other two were fine, Zhu Fan said with a smile: "Brother, you are about to get married, why don't you take this thing back and enjoy it?"

Zhu Biao glanced at the picture of the Spring Palace, it should be the style of the Tang Dynasty, and the painting is quite level, no wonder it can be collected by Lu Chang, the old man is sixty or seventy years old, and he still has this mind on this day, he is worthy of being a literati.

However, Zhu Biao had no interest in this, shook his head and refused, Zhu Zhang's eyes lit up, and he was ready to take this back to collect.

Zhu Biao looked at him and rolled up the painting before saying, "The things here have already been ordered, and they have been sent to my father's imperial study together with the results of the search of Lu Chang's mansion." If my father asks why a painting is missing, I can't help you.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao walked out of the door, Zhu Li and Zhu Di glanced at each other silently, then looked at Zhu Fan and said with a smile: "My father has never looked down on this kind of thing, and he will not ask at all, so you can take it." ”

After saying that, the two of them also followed Zhu Biao out, Zhu Fan gritted his teeth, and was about to take the painting out, but when he walked to the door, he still put the painting back in frustration.

It's because his father doesn't like this kind of thing, if he knows that he came to follow his eldest brother on an errand, he didn't help at all, but took a picture of the Spring Palace.........

Just thinking about it, Zhu Fan already felt that his buttocks were itching terribly, as if there were many small insects crawling.

Putting down the picture scroll in pain, he turned around and shouted to chase after the brothers who were far away, and the three brothers in front were not surprised.

Zhu Fan has always been bold, but as long as the matter can be related to Zhu Yuanzhang, then he will never take risks. This is what Zhu Fan realized from the broken wooden stick.
