First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 132 Integrity
After Zhu Biao came out of the imperial study, he saw a few guys poking around in the distance. Zhu Biao knew without even thinking that it was the three brothers who came. No one else in the palace would dare to play tricks near Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial study.

Zhu Biao was not in the mood to pay attention to them, and led Liu Jin and others to go to the official office of the Ministry of Household Affairs. After a few steps, there were a few more people. Brothers, open your eyes?"

The third child, Zhu Yan, and the fourth child, Zhu Di, also nodded. They have grown up a lot since they went to the battlefield, but their natures are hard to change, and they still can't calm down to study. Recently, they are really going crazy.

Zhu Biao frowned and said: "Then follow honestly, what happened today is not a joke, don't talk too much for a while."

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, the three brothers made a neat movement of sealing their mouths, and then followed Zhu Biao neatly.

Liu Jin felt aggrieved when she saw that her position had been preempted. He was the only one who could follow closely behind the crown prince, but he didn't dare to say anything.

After leaving the palace gate of the inner palace, behind Zhu Biao there was already a dense army of soldiers guarding him, and the leader Zhu Biao also knew him. Although he didn’t know his name, he was the one who guarded the big tent every night during Zhu Biao’s Northern Expedition. trustworthy.

A group of people rushed to the front of the official office of the Ministry of Households in a mighty manner. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly greeted him. After seeing Zhu Biao and the three brothers behind him, he saluted and said, "I see Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the three princes."

Zhu Biao took a look at him: "Where are all the people from the household department?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments bowed and replied: "They are all imprisoned in the side courtyard, and the relevant account books and classics have been sealed up, just waiting for you to come, but..."

Zhu Biao said in a deep voice, "Just what?"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment immediately bowed his head and said: "When the people from the Ministry of Punishment rushed to the Ministry of Accounts, someone inside had already started destroying the account books. After controlling the official of the Ministry of Justice, it was found that this person had burned a total of [-] account books. I am guilty, please Your Highness. punishment."

Zhu Biao wasn't surprised at all, he looked at the head under the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and said: "Penalty for two months, if there is another accident, it will not be so simple."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment immediately responded: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Ministry of Households has been completely controlled, and I will guarantee with my life that there will be no other accidents."

Zhu Biao nodded. It seems that all the accounts related to the Ministry of Accounts have been burned. This is why Zhu Biao arranged for the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment to take over the Ministry of Accounts.

When Zhu Biao walked in, he saw the account books and documents on the ground. As Zhu Biao nodded, under the supervision of the palace guards, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment began to check the account books of the Ministry of Households.

Zhu Biao walked into Lv Chang's room. In addition to the official documents, there were many calligraphy, painting and seals in a row. It can be seen that although they are not too expensive, they are well maintained.

Zhu Biao lost interest after taking a look at it. The three of Zhu Xi obviously didn't understand calligraphy and painting, but they still pretended to read it.

An hour later, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice came in to report: "His Royal Highness, it will take a while to check the annual accounts, but the situation of Wang Yushi's impeachment can still be confirmed, and the officials of the Ministry of Finance have also voluntarily pleaded guilty."

Zhu Biao nodded, and took the roster handed over by the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. On it, there are thousands of people from Lu Chang to the household department officials who went down to the state capital.

Zhu Biao opened it and flipped through a few pages. The suspects were all circled, and only a few people were not circled. These were just names written in ink in front of Zhu Biao, but when the butcher's knife fell, people died .

There were no outsiders in the room, so Zhu Biao asked directly, "How many of the people on this list are honest and honest?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs replied: "Except for a few nobles, the rest of the officials in the household department of the capital even if they didn't embezzle money, they more or less took some food home."

Zhu Biao frowned and said, "Go check it out. If it's really difficult at home and you only have food to survive, then you will be removed from this list."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice also heaved a sigh of relief. The downfall of the Ministry of Finance would not be beneficial to anyone. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was willing to make an exception, and they would be able to do things in a proper way. At the very least, the framework of the Ministry of Accounting could be maintained.

Zhu Biao shook his head. There were hundreds of officials in the capital of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there were thousands of officials and servants below. Zhu Biao had to keep at least half of them.

This time, it is definitely necessary to catch the big fish and let the small fish go, and also to target the removal of old ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty like Lu Chang. There is no way to do this.

Hey hey~
Zhu Biao's thoughts were interrupted by obscene laughter, and when he looked up, the three guys were looking at something together, and he could only hear the uncontrollable laughter of the second brother Zhu Xi.

Once Zhu Biao thought about it, he understood that in this era, the only thing that could make three teenagers who were not interested in calligraphy and painting classics happily study together was that thing.

Zhu Biao looked at their backs and his mouth curled into a smile. Unknowingly, the three younger brothers had grown up, and he was still wondering how these three guys could be quiet for such a long time.

Zhu Biao stepped forward lightly, and from the gap between them, he could see several round figures...

Zhu Biao stuck to Zhu Di's back, wrapped his arms around the other two and asked softly, "What good things are you looking at?"

Zhu Biao obviously felt that Zhu Di trembled for a moment, but the other two were fine, Zhu Xi said with a smile: "Brother, you are getting married soon, why don't you take this thing back to appreciate it?
Zhu Biao glanced at the picture of the erotic palace, it should be in the style of the Tang Dynasty, and the painting is quite good, no wonder it can be collected by Lu Chang, the old man is in his [-]s and [-]s, he still has this idea today, he is worthy of being a literati .

However, Zhu Biao was not interested in this, so he shook his head and refused. As soon as Zhu Xi's eyes lit up, he was ready to take this back for collection.

Zhu Biao watched him put up the scroll before saying: "The things here have been ordered a long time ago, and together with the search results of Lu Chang's mansion, they were sent to the royal study of the father. In case the father asks why something is missing picture, I can't help you.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao walked out of the room, Zhu Yan and Zhu Di looked at each other silently, then looked at Zhu Chen and said with a smile: "Father has always looked down on this kind of thing, and I'm sure he won't bother, so you just put it away." Bar."

After speaking, the two of them also followed Zhu Biao and walked out. Zhu Xi gritted his teeth and was about to take the painting out, but when he reached the door, he still put the painting back to its original place in dejection.

It's because my father doesn't like this kind of thing, if I let him know that I'm here to work with my elder brother, I won't be of any help, instead I will take a erotic picture...

Just thinking about it, Zhu Xing already felt his butt itch badly, as if there were a lot of little bugs crawling around.

Reluctantly put down the picture scroll, turned around and yelled to chase after the brothers who were going away, but the three brothers in front were not surprised.

Zhu Xi has always been bold, but as long as the matter has something to do with Zhu Yuanzhang, then he will never take risks.This is what Zhu Xi learned from the broken stick.
