After Ma Xiuying read the recital written by Zhu Han to Zhu Yuanzhang, she was also very flustered, but she was more worried about Zhu Yuanzhang, with Zhu Yuanzhang's character, could he endure this?

"Don't worry, didn't you just find out about Qiwu?"

Ma Xiuying pulled Zhu Yuanzhang and comforted: "Now it's just Qiwu to ask you how to do it, tell you, it's not too late to find out." ”

"Sister, how long have you known Qiwu? What kind of person is he that you still don't know? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly, pointed to the fold and said, "If he doesn't have seven points of certainty in his heart, will he write a fold for me?" Even if we are not in Yingtian, after reading the 75 recital for us, we can guess that there must be a big man behind us. ”

Ma Xiuying saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was so sure of what he said, and knew that it was useless to persuade him, but asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "What do you want to do?" Go back? ”

It's been out for more than half a year, and now Ma Xiuying can accept it when she goes back, besides, such a big thing happened in Yingtian, not only Zhu Han, but also Zhu Biao, who is in charge of the country, Ma Xiuying is really a little relieved.

Ma Xiuying didn't want to see the angry Zhu Yuanzhang, so she threw the decision to Zhu Yuanzhang and looked at his decision.

Sure enough, taking the question that Ma Xiuying threw to himself, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly calmed down, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Let's not go back, continue to go outside, and talk about it after watching our Ming world." ”

Ma Xiuying nodded: "Yes, Yingtian has seven or five seats, and those Xiaoxiao can't make any waves, and Biao'er will grow a lot after this incident." ”

"Biao'er is not just growing, it's just a mountain of meat smashed on Biao'er, through this incident, his position as the crown prince will be more stable."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the fold from Ma Xiuying's hand, opened it, pointed to one of the passages and said: "Qiwu is going to wear the five-clawed dragon costume we gave him to go to court, Hu Weiyong and Tang Hefu Zuo Zhu Biao, this is to say that Qiwu will do everything that offends people and leave the credit to Biao'er!" Let the standard stand up in the court! ”

"Huh?"

Ma Xiuying didn't expect such a thing, she also fell silent after hearing it, there was a lot of rare silence in the palace, and after a long time, Ma Xiuying said: "In this way, we owe more to Qiwu." ”

"Who says it's not, it's all because we, the brother, are incapable, but we have to let Qiwu protect us everywhere."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed, and even said...... With some regrets, he said to Ma Xiuying: "We all think that Qiwu is more suitable to be the emperor, but he doesn't, he has to let our useless brother come, alas, ......"

Ma Xiuying nodded, who said it wasn't.

She agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's words, but now it is more important to appease Zhu Yuanzhang: "Don't say that, you have done well enough, and...... Now Qiwu wants to live his life of idle clouds and wild cranes, isn't it because you, the elder brother, are sheltering him? The two of you brothers are mutually accomplished, and neither of you can do without the other. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he grabbed Ma Xiuying's hand and took her into his arms: "Yes, we are a family, and none of us can do without anyone." ”

……

Yingtian and Eastern Chagatai Khanate...... Ah no, it's the western border of the Ming Dynasty.

The distance between Yingtian and the western border was too far, and when Zhu Yuanzhang learned the news, Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong had already passed a three-month review and basically examined all the problems.

Holding a thick stack of bills, and then looking at the room full of account books, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, this kind of table counting provided by His Royal Highness is really convenient, a room full of account books, only with such a stack of tables, all the accounts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang for ten years have been pulled out, with this kind of sharp weapon, when we review it again, it will be much simpler." ”

"yes."

Zhu Biao just sighed simply, and didn't say much, he looked at the final summary bill, his heart was dripping blood, Zhu Biao said bitterly: "I didn't expect that these people are greedy for money, worth more than 10 million gold coins, what do they want so much money for?" What is the use of life not bringing death and not bringing it? My uncle said that this money is only valuable if it is spent, otherwise it is a pile of metal, so much money, do they dare to spend it? ”

"Who knows, they are afraid to be scared with this money."

Hu Weiyong's ambition is not money, he also doesn't understand why others want so much money, in his opinion, this money is useless: "No matter what, arrest people first, hasn't Xin Guogong already controlled all the people in these places?" I believe that the results will be available soon. ”

When auditing the cases in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huguang, when problems were discovered, they immediately sent people to control the people involved, and as long as there were any, they would definitely be controlled.

Zhao Yong, Zhu Biao's teacher, is also the first important minister assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Biao's side.

He is deeply involved in Huguang, and even if Zhu Biao has the heart to protect him, it is impossible to keep it.

Zhao Yong was involved when he was investigating the land annexation before, but this was just a trivial matter, after Zhao Yong returned the land and then took out the corresponding compensation, Zhu Biao did not continue to hold him responsible, but he didn't expect it...... He was even involved in the vast eucalyptus of the lake again.

"Check, we must check to the end."

Zhu Biao is also ruthless, now is not the time to be soft-hearted: "No matter who it is, even if it is the king of heaven, you must take it down!" ”

If you let go of one person, there will be countless people who will come to intercede, Zhu Biao knows that he can't open this opening, so he chooses to be tough to the end.

This is also the first official confrontation between Zhu Biao and the founding nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Biao and admired Zhu Biao's courage in his heart, but he also reminded Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, let's finish investigating the matter and go to find the king?" ”

"Go."

When Zhu Biao talked about Zhu Han, a helpless smile appeared on his face: "However, this time I have to let my uncle carry the black pot again." ”

"Your Highness, don't think so."

Hu Weiyong got up with a rare positive color, and said to Zhu Biao: "There is no such thing as carrying the black cauldron, we are just punishing the evildoers in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no such thing as abolishing the public and taking revenge for personal gain. ”

Zhu Biao sighed.

What's more, the book of the household department can't escape the involvement.

The political envoys of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the political envoys of Huguang can't escape the involvement!

Removing several important ministers of the court at once will inevitably cause an uproar in the court.

They asked themselves, Zhu Biao couldn't do absolute suppression.

With Zhu Han in charge, let Tang He deal with it, this is the best choice, Zhu Biao stood up: "Let's go, let's go to the British King's Mansion." ”

……

When I came to the British Palace, Tang He was also there.

The two did not eat barbecue, but stewed a pot of boiled sheep in the pavilion in the courtyard, which was fragrant at this time, so that Zhu Biao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

In the past, Zhu Biao went to work every day, ate on time, and did not have a special preference for food, but now after exercising, Zhu Biao's appetite is much greater than before, especially interested in meat.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's group of old brothers, Tang He is the eldest brother, although there is Zhu Han's chaos in this life, the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He has not changed, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not hand over a team like Jinyiwei to Tang He.

It can be said that in the original history, if it weren't for Zhu Biao's early death, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have killed indiscriminately, and he would have been the best emperor in history to treat meritorious heroes.

Now that there is Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang has a better relationship with the old brothers who once fought the world with him, if it were not for breaking the law, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have done anything to them.

Tang He is well versed in the way of self-preservation, if it weren't for the task imposed on him by Zhu Yuanzhang, this big brother would also retreat bravely, maintaining the brotherhood with Zhu Yuanzhang, seeing Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong coming, Tang He beckoned to Zhu Biao like an uncle: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down?" Come sit down and eat first, and taste the boiled sheep made by your Uncle Qiwu. ”

Now, Tang He is the identity of the big brother, and Qiwu is a little brother in front of him.

Zhu Biao walked over with Hu Weiyong and replied with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Tang." ”

After Zhu Biao sat down, he took a black pottery wine bowl and put it on the table in front of Zhu Biao, picked up the rice wine on the table and handed it to him: "Do you want to have some?" The plum wine brewed by the Lady of England is very delicious. ”

The wine was fragrant, and Zhu Biao also wanted to taste it, but was stopped by Zhu Han: "Big brother, don't make trouble, what kind of wine does he drink when he is growing his body?" Let's ...... Uncle will bring you a few cans of beer, you can taste it. ”

Beer is a wheat drink, not alcohol.

This is one of the rewards that Zhu Han got from the system, in order to take care of Zhu Biao, he didn't take much, so he let him drink and play.

Zhu Han went back to the house to get beer, Zhu Biao looked at Tang He's appearance of waiting to eat mutton, and said with emotion: "Uncle Tang, you still have a good mentality, I am exhausted when such a big thing happens, but you can behave lightly." ”

"What is this, you haven't seen it again...... I haven't seen Your Majesty. ”

Tang He almost shouted out the name of Zhu Yuanzhang when he was a child, but fortunately stopped the car in time, and then said: "When encountering major events, the more determined Your Majesty is, you must also be clear that you must have a cool head when encountering major events, otherwise you will regret the decisions you make when you are angry for the rest of your life." ”

Zhu Han walked out with a beer, and then Tang He's words continued: "Biao'er, now is just the beginning, you will encounter more things later, you not only have to balance the court, but also stand firm and stand firm, this time is just a training for you, you have to learn experience in this kind of training, in order to become a qualified son of heaven." ”

This is not a lecture to Zhu Biao, but to use his past experience to tell Zhu Biao that he can listen or ignore it, but he must remember that it can be used later.

As for Hu Weiyong...... In front of the three elders, he only poured tea and wine, and then sat on the bench and listened to the lecture like a primary school student.

As for ambition...... He had, but he didn't dare to show it, he was afraid that his ambition would be detected by Zhu Han, and then he would throw himself into the eighteenth layer of hell.

In Hu Weiyong's heart, Zhu Han is a great demon king-level existence.

……

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes, and a pot full of boiled lamb, Zhu Han and the four of them ate heartily, Zhu Biao ate mutton and drank wheat juice, and he suddenly liked this feeling.

Wheat juice is very good, not intoxicating, however, everyone is an adult, and the happy days of adults are very short-lived, and they have bigger things to do now, and short-term happiness is very hard-won.

Let the leftovers on the table be taken away, replaced with new tea, and the four of them began to talk about business.

Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong were responsible for auditing the accounts, and Tang He was responsible for exploring various places, and Tang He knew the results of the audit, and Tang He knew the local situation in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang.

"Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang both places, there are things that are greedy for ink, the most important thing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the empty seal eucalyptus, and the land of Huguang is more serious, involving a lot, the most important is the household servant Guo Huan! The places involved are not only Huguang, but also more implicated. ”

Although Zhu Biao is leading the account books of the household department, Tang He knows that this matter will be handed over to Zhu Han to solve in the end, although Zhu Han is vigorously developing business, but in the final analysis, it is for the benefit of the people, so when he talked about this matter, he first talked about Hu Guangyu.

Zhu Biao then said: "Yes, when I checked the account books of the Ministry of Households, I found that there was a deviation in the growth of grain tax in Yanjing, and then I found that the gap between Huguang and the land was even greater, so I conducted a further examination. ”

First of all, Zhu Biao, when he checked the account books of the household department, he found that the probability of grain tax growth in various places was different, and the growth in some rich places was not as good as the growth in barren areas, so he informed Zhu Han of this matter, and then the three of them jointly investigated.

Immediately, Tang He said: "I found that Guo Huan, the head of the household department, Zhao Mao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Huidi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wang Zhi, the head of the Ministry of War, and Mai Zhide, the head of the Ministry of Works, and others embezzled the taxes of Taiping Mansion, Zhenjiang Mansion and other governments, and in the fourth year of Hongwu, the autumn grain in Huguang should have been handed over 4.5 million stones, but Guo Huan only paid more than 2 million stones, and when collecting taxes, he set up a name and collected a variety of taxes such as water foot money, food money, treasury money, and god and Buddha money, etc., to fill his own pockets......

Pile by pile, Tang He remembered it all in his mind, Zhu Han's expression was normal, and Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong looked weird.

Zhu Biao was very angry, and Guo Huan was greedy for more than 2 million stone of grain when he was in Hongwu for four years.

It is now the tenth year of Hongwu...... How much have they been greedy for six years?

After Hu Weiyong heard this, his expression was strange, and fear and anger were mixed.

After Tang He told what happened, he said the final summary number: "Guo Huan and others embezzled a total of more than 44 million stone of grain, plus the taxes they collected under the name of 20 million gold coins!" ”

After speaking, Tang He paused for a moment and continued: "This group of damned brutes, they are greedy for ink, and they also recruit killers everywhere to assassinate people who come to complain, and the people everywhere have bitter words, and they are made to complain by these black-hearted officials!" ”

"Twenty million...... Gold? ”

Hu Weiyong subconsciously spoke, and when Zhu Han and the others looked at him, Hu Weiyong knelt on the ground in a panic: "His Royal Highness the King and Prince, the minister is guilty!" The minister received the benefits of Guo Huan, as well as Wang Huidi, Wang Zhi and others, and gave me gifts during the New Year's holidays. ”
