The entries listed on the excerpt were carefully selected by Huo Yixiao and Zhu Huan.

Put aside the content used to make up the numbers and settle the accounts, and take out the most unreasonable places separately and put them together straightforwardly.

This is what Huo Huaiding taught Huo Yixiao and Huo Yixuan when he was in Jiangnan.

At that time, they were at the last stop of the patrol - Mingzhou Mansion.

Huo Huaiding took the two to the beach.

It was the first time the two brothers had seen the sea.

Heading eastward from the capital, they could reach the coast, but they had never been there before.

The sea water in Mingzhou is not to mention blue and clear, it is simply yellow mud and sand water, but the endless vast sea surface is still shocking.

The winter sea breeze makes my cheeks ache, and the waves roll in and out.

In front of this boundless scenery, what I feel is the insignificance of being a human being.

At low tide, the water is getting farther away, and more and more tidal flats are exposed.

Huo Huaiding stepped on the mud, picked up a lot of shells and crabs from the tidal flats, and happily loaded a bamboo basket.

These fresh ingredients entered the stomachs of the three of them that night.

Huo Huaiding took a sip of shellfish meat, took another sip of wine, and said, "The water has receded, and what is underneath is clear." ”

Huo Yixiao remembered Huo Huaiding's words.

He and Zhu Huan squeezed the water dry, and served the largest and fattest shells and crabs to the emperor in a daze.

The emperor looked back and forth twice, asked a few more questions, and after Zhu Huan answered them one by one, he put the fold aside.

"Go and call Fang Qichuan," the emperor instructed Gonggong Wu, and when Gonggong Wu answered, he said to Zhu Huan and Huo Yixiao, "I can't understand this nonsense, let Fang Qichuan come to solve our doubts!" ”

The two sat down on the side, waiting for Fang Qichuan.

The emperor raised the pen and approved the recital.

Huo Yixiao looked at his expression and knew that the emperor was in a very bad mood.

How could the emperor not understand, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he was so angry that he had to wait for Fang Qichuan to give an explanation.

On the other hand, Fang Qichuan has returned to the Yamen of Taichang Temple.

As soon as he sat down and drank two sips of tea, he heard a rumor outside, saying that the emperor had summoned him to the imperial study.

Fang Qichuan's teacup almost smashed in his hand.

When he went to court, he saw Zhu Huan and Huo Yixiao going back, and he estimated that he was going to see the emperor.

Could it be that the fourth prince saw that he was moving slowly, and he couldn't wait, so he personally went into battle to kill Min Hao and Ge Xu?

But this is really not that Fang Qichuan is not interested, but he is really not ready for a two-pronged strategy to kill the enemy and protect himself.

Fang Qichuan put down the teacup and hurriedly entered the palace.

The little chamberlain who led the way didn't know that when Fang Qichuan entered the imperial study, his forehead was full of sweat.

He bowed down to salute the emperor, and saluted Zhu Huan and Huo Yixiao, wanting to take the opportunity to ask Huo Yixiao with his eyes, but sensing the emperor's low mood, Fang Qichuan did not dare to act rashly.

However, the fourth son is the fourth son in the end.

In the imperial study, they are at ease, more relaxed than the three highnesses.

It's a thigh!

Fang Qichuan encouraged himself repeatedly in his heart.

If you hold your thighs steady, you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and bright flowers.

The emperor lifted his chin.

Gong Wu agreed and handed over the fold handed over by Zhu Huan to Fang Qichuan.

Fang Qichuan opened it and saw that a chill rushed up from the soles of his feet, mixed with the heat on his body, and he almost couldn't help shivering.

He understood the content above, especially, not long ago, in Xihua Hutong, Huo Yixiao clearly told him that the expenses of Taichang Temple were extremely problematic.

Isn't that the problem of this item?

Fang Qichuan gritted his back molars and did not make a sound.

He heard the emperor's voice, neither light nor serious, but with a little anger.

"Lord Fang, Huan'er and Yi Xiao said that they can't understand your Taichang Temple's money, and I can't understand it, so you can talk about it."

Fang Qichuan's head was buzzing.

Several programmes have been rapidly turned.

After all, the fourth prince has set up the stage for him, where can Fang Qichuan not go on stage?

Raising his head from behind the fold, Fang Qichuan glanced at the emperor blankly, and quickly withdrew his gaze, made a respectful appearance, and said: "The specific figures of each year, the ministers don't remember very clearly, and they have to turn out the old documents one by one."

The fold on this fold was transcribed by the Third Highness when he was observing the government of the household department, right? That's right, that's the number.

The minister didn't quite understand what the emperor meant, was there anything wrong with these figures? ”

Huo Yixiao looked Fang Qichuan up and down.

I didn't see it, Lord Fang pretended to be stupid, it was quite like that.

The emperor didn't understand for a moment whether Fang Qichuan was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and said angrily: "This expense, you tell me that it is appropriate?" Is your Taichang Temple the root of the wall with silver pads? ”

At this time, Fang Qichuan shivered just right.

"The minister is dull, the minister is frightened," Fang Qichuan's voice trembled, "Please also ask the emperor to make it clear!" ”

The emperor frowned.

Huo Yixiao was much more angry, knowing that the emperor's patience was running out, he simply handed Fang Qichuan a ladder: "Lord Fang, how much silver should you spend in Taichang Temple for so many years, don't you have a little count in your heart?" ”

Fang Qichuan climbed along the ladder: "The emperor, the third highness, the fourth prince, the minister is the Taichang Siqing who took over after Lord Gao Fang told the old man."

There were a lot of things that the minister didn't understand at that time, and he relied on the guidance of the squire and other subordinates to get started slowly.

The budget and audit were all done by Ge Shilang, and the minister compared the old practice every year, and he really didn't see anything wrong.

Moreover, after it was sent to the household department, the household department did not question it......

The minister thought that these expenses were needed. ”

The emperor snorted: "That's how you went to the peak?" ”

"What does the emperor mean that Ge Xu fooled Weichen? Where is the household...... Hubu turned a blind eye, or did Hubu and Ge Xu collude? Fang Qichuan muttered to himself, and at the end of his muttering, he fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, the ministers don't know people clearly, the ministers have no way to rule, the ministers, the ministers are useless, the emperor!" ”

Fang Qichuan kowtowed hard, and his head smashed on the floor tiles.

He couldn't tell whether it was pain or panic, and tears poured out.

At this time, if you don't cry and pick yourself up, are you waiting to be dragged into the water by Ge Xu?

The emperor can condemn him as incompetent, but he is not greedy for money, and he has to minimize his losses.

Besides, there are four sons.

The fourth prince wants to deal with Min Hao, for the sake of him kowtowing so hard, he should be able to pull him along.

"Okay, okay," the emperor was smashed by Fang Qichuan's head and his head hurt, "You will stay out of the matter." ”

Fang Qichuan raised his head, and blood was already pouring out of his forehead: "Although the ministers and ministers are useless, the ministers are loyal to the court and the emperor, and the ministers will never dare to fight the idea of the treasury silver, please let the emperor know!" ”

Huo Yixiao laughed sneeringly.

The emperor and Zhu Huan both turned their heads to look at him.

Huo Yixiao cupped his cheeks and said, "What does Lord Fang mean is that those who are disloyal to the court and the emperor, and take silver from the treasury to fill their own pockets, are Ge Xu and the adults of the household department?" Lord Fang might as well talk about it, which adults in the household department? ”

Fang Qichuan's heart was horizontal and he looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, these documents need to be approved by the head of the household department and the squire. Whether the squire is loyal or not, the minister doesn't know, but Min Shangshu definitely can't get out of it! He has been in the household department for a long time, and he has been doing it for so many years, he can't be more stupid than the minister, right? ”

The emperor slapped the table angrily: "You also know that you are stupid!" ”
