In the Wuying Palace, Zhan Hui knelt on the ground and reported everything that had happened before to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even about the quarrel between him and Lan Yu, Zhan Hui reported it to 1510, without the slightest intention of concealing it.

It's not that Zhan Hui is honest and sincere, it's purely at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the Jinyi Guard is very closely supervised.

At the beginning, Qian Zai exported a chapter at home: the four drums were dressed in winter, and it was too late to see him at noon. When will you be happy in the countryside, and sleep until the food in the world is cooked.

The poem was not written, and apparently Qian Zai also knew that complaining about the previous dynasty was not something that people could know.

But when he went to court on the second day, Qian Zai was pinched by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Qian Zai was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and confessed.

If it weren't for that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intent would not be so heavy, and Qian Zai was indeed old, otherwise Qian Zai would probably have to prepare more than a dozen coffins.

The past does not forget the teacher of the future, Zhan Hui did not play any caution, and engaged in such a small action in front of His Majesty, it was really a long life for the birthday star to hang himself.

"Your Majesty, now that Zhao Mian's family has committed suicide in fear of crime, Liang Guogong insists on peeling it and grass, with a formal style, the minister thinks that this matter is quite inappropriate, and I am afraid that it will cause criticism."

Human death is great, although it cannot offset the guilt, but Zhan Hui believes that since they are all dead, why bother to toss a dead person.

If Zhao Mian is still alive, then there is no one to say about peeling the skin and grass, and now everyone is dead, and if he does this, it will seem mean to the court.

Spreading it has a great impact on the reputation of the imperial court, and Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, didn't expect this, but Zhan Hui felt that His Majesty should be able to think of it.

"Lan Yu didn't do anything wrong, a huge greed and evil like Zhao Mian, we will not bypass him first, death is just fear, we want to ruin his reputation."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was a little calm, not that he hated Zhao Mian as a person, it was purely what Zhao Mian did, which would bring him some trouble when he transferred it to the national fortune.

If the amount of corruption and bribery is huge, it will cause public resentment to boil, and it will inevitably affect the national fortunes of the country.

If it affects the national fortunes, it will undoubtedly affect Zhu Yuanzhang's physical state, which will trigger a series of chain reactions.

He was very unhappy about this, since Zhao Mian had already violated his interests, what about peeling the skin and grass?

Can you be a hundred when you die?

But there is no such good thing, not only Zhao Mian, but also his children and grandchildren will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and they will never be able to turn over!

Zhan Hui had cold sweat on his forehead, and he held it for a long time, and only said dryly: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

"Okay, don't do this nonsense, where do you think this case should start?"

From Zhan Hui's narration, Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Lan Yu had begun to act alone, and he didn't care about him, anyway, he couldn't turn over his Five Finger Mountain.

But Lan Yu has an extreme personality and doesn't know what he will do, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to listen to Zhan Hui's opinion, brainstorm, and start from other aspects, which will have different effects.

Zhan Hui already had a plan in his belly, and said: "Weichen thinks that Zhao Mian, as the secretary of the household department, has been in charge of the household department for many years, and he can never be discovered, so he must be colluding with the top and bottom to hide from the world. Therefore, there must be a suspicion of fraud in the account books and files of the household department, as long as the account books and files of the household department are counted in the past six years, you can know how much Zhao Mian is greedy for ink. ”

The household department is in charge of the territory, land, household registration, taxation, salaries, and all financial affairs of the country, and the workload is enormous, and the account books are numerous, which also gives the household officials the opportunity to embezzle.

Zhao Mian was able to successfully embezzle and accept bribes for several years without being discovered, obviously with a unique secret, Zhan Hui believes that from the account books of the household department, there may be more answers.

This plan seems to be Zhan Hui's platform in the Household Demolition Department, but it is actually a way to protect the Household Department, Zhan Hui is also gambling, betting that Zhao Mian's fake accounts are as if they were real.

After all, even if Zhan Hui doesn't say it, with His Majesty's thoughts, he will soon focus on the account books of the household department, rather than waiting until then, it is better to take the initiative to pick Lei.

As long as the matter falls into his hands, Zhan Hui is still sure to protect some Wenchen from it, sometimes in the game, many things are not under his control.

When the head of the household department is the first to start rotting and deteriorating, how can the remaining part be kept healthy, it will definitely be affected.

In addition to those who take the initiative to embezzle and take bribes, there are many who are actually coerced by the general trend and have to participate in it.

Zhan Hui knew in his heart that human nature was self-interested, and expecting officials to be saints was purely a pipe dream.

In many cases, being able to remain silent in the midst of filth is already the limit of what many people can do.

Now that Zhan Hui has made this matter clear, then the matter of finding the problem in the account books of the household department will fall on his head nine times out of ten.

This is not an easy matter, the account books are vast, and it is extremely difficult to identify, and when the time comes, it is enough to push out the conspicuous and obviously accomplice among them.

As for whether these guys' mouths will bite wildly, this is another method, and Zhan Hui is still very sure about this.

As Zhan Hui expected, after he pointed it out, Zhu Yuanzhang really handed over the matter to him to investigate.

The location of the investigation was arranged in the Wenhua Palace, and now the crown prince Zhu Di pretended to be sick in the future, and in the Wenhua Palace, a group of officials, under the leadership of Zhan Hui, began to check the account books and files of the household department over the years.

This is not destined to be a simple matter, and the number of account books in the household department is really jaw-dropping.

On the ground of the Wenhua Palace, there are piles of various account books and data, like a small hill, which looks like a numb scalp.

Zhan Hui stubbornly flipped through the account books of the account opening department, and searched them meticulously one by one, and he didn't know how many kinds of data were circling in his mind.

As one of the few people at the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty, Zhan Hui's intelligence far surpassed that of other contemporaries, but even so, he also felt a deep headache in the face of such a large number of account books.

It is nothing more than the past dynasties, this fake account has always been a difficult thing to find, just these account books, after the hands of people with a heart, to find the problem, it is really difficult.

What's more, the one who made fake accounts was still Zhao Mian, the secretary of the household department, this person had a good head, and obviously it would not be so easy to show flaws.

Zhan Hui led a group of officials to carefully check the accounts, and for a whole afternoon, everyone was dizzy and almost fainted.

What's more, I can't help but vomit, obviously I can't bear such a high frequency of work.

Soon, many officials were defeated, leaving only Zhan Hui with red eyes, looking at the account books, and white smoke seemed to rise above his head.

In the face of these carefully arranged account books, Zhan Hui had to sigh, Zhao Mian is really a good hand at making accounts, so many account books can be done seamlessly, it is really ingenious.

At least he saw that now, he had been looking through the account books of the household department for almost a whole year, and he still didn't see any clues.

In the middle of the night, the lights in the Wenhua Hall should have been turned off, but at this moment the lights were still bright, Zhan Hui was red-eyed and stuck to the front line.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly paced into the Wenhua Palace, and when he saw that Zhan Hui was still checking the account books, he coughed lightly and said, "Haven't seen any flaws yet?" ”

Zhan Hui was suddenly startled, and when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was coming, he immediately stood up from his seat, suddenly felt that his mind was dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

Finally stabilized his body, then he walked out of the pile of books, knelt on the ground, and said: "Weichen didn't know that His Majesty had arrived, so he failed to ask Sheng Ann in time to ask His Majesty to punish him." ”

"It's all right! You have also worked hard for a day, what are we doing to punish crimes, there are a lot of account books, and it is indeed a little difficult for you to dispose of them alone. ”

"Wechen doesn't dare to say that it's hard, it's just that Wechen is incompetent, and he wastes a day and gets nothing, which is really ashamed."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a thick account book casually, opened it and swept it with his eyes very quickly, his consulting speed was much faster than Zhan Hui's.

After all, it is the reincarnation of the overhaul, no matter how weak and old the physical body is, it has not affected the nobility of his soul, although the ability has been restrained by himself, but the remaining small part, solving these account books, is not a difficult problem.

In just half a cup of tea, Zhu Yuanzhang flipped through the entire account book, secretly calculated in his heart, and soon had the result.

Zhan Hui looked at the account book that had been quickly flipped, pondered for a while, and did not speak, this account book was the account book of the 21st year of Hongwu, and Zhao Mian had not yet taken office at that time.

The main purpose of bringing the account books of Hongwu 21 years is to compare them with the subsequent account books, in the hope of obtaining useful information from them.

Now that His Majesty has finished reading the account books, Zhan Hui doesn't think that His Majesty can get anything from them, the matter of the account books has always involved professional knowledge, although His Majesty is wise and martial, how can he understand this?

But he didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to just ponder for a while, so he picked up a pen and paper from the side, wrote down a few lines with a brush, and then handed it to Zhan Hui.

Zhan Hui was puzzled, but he didn't dare to hesitate, looked at the paper, and after a while, he was shocked, and said, "Your Majesty's book, but it's true?" ”
