Zhao Huan borrowed the donkey from the slope and left the palace without looking back. He went straight to the household department with his hands behind his back.
Although the Censor of the Ministry of Household Supervision is a powerful official, he cannot stand up to the fact that he is a small official but has great power!
The gang of thieves in the household department were all Gao Qiu's former minions, so naturally Zhao Huan wanted to check their underwear.
To be on the safe side, Zhao Huan directly sent Chang Fu to Kaifeng Prefecture to transfer people and jointly enforce the law with Zhao Shiyan.
As a result, what was supposed to come came, and what shouldn't come also came.
"Congratulations to the prince on his promotion!"
Chen Zhao pretended to give a big gift, and the look in Zhao Huan's eyes became even more unauthentic!
"First it was the Jiaofang Secretary, and now it is the Ministry of Household Supervisory Censor. These are all big fat cadres!"
"Rumors from the public are not trustworthy."
"If you ask me, Your Majesty still cares about the prince. Although the officials who are conferred are generally not of high rank, they cannot stand up to the powerful ones."
"The Secretary of the Jiaofang is in charge of all the sex households in the world. As long as the prince says a word, even the small garden poetry meeting in the palace can't be held. Your Majesty will have to act based on your face."
"Hehehehe, as for the Supervisory Censor of the Ministry of Finance, when you stare at him, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance's legs will tremble."
Looking at the flattering Chen Zhao, Zhao Huan said calmly: "Didn't I return the house to you?"
"Why are you still pestering me?"
Chen Zhao pretended to be confused: "What kind of house? Please let me know."
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows: "That's the house full of tables, chairs and benches."
Chen Zhao patted his head and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the house the prince was talking about was what a coincidence. A flood broke out in the middle of the night and it burned down."
As expected of Chen Zhao, he is extremely talented in cheating and slipping.
To enrich one's own pockets, the evidence must be destroyed from the source. Even if the incident comes to light in the future, there will be no way to investigate it.
This kid Chen Zhao... is a talent!
Zhao Huan liked him more and more, and casually mentioned: "I heard that Yizhou soldiers and horses are still stationed outside the city. Isn't it just a mere 30,000 military pay, so it's so difficult to survive?"
Chen Zhao was so shrewd that he immediately understood what Zhao Huan meant.
Yizhou was the foothold of the righteous soldiers in the northern frontier, and Zhao Huan now served as the supervisory censor of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Publicly the investigation was conducted by the Ministry of Household Affairs, but privately it was Yizhou.
The soldiers and horses transporting military pay are actually a metaphor... secretly hiding in Chen Cang.
The silver confiscated from Gao Residence had to be transported to Yizhou for development.
The money needs to be transferred a few more times before it can be revitalized. If it only stays in Bianjing, it will be dead money and has no value at all.
The Ministry of Rites kept a close eye on him. As the eldest son of the emperor, Zhao Huan did not dare to be extravagant and wasteful.
"I heard that Zhao Kun will leave Beijing soon? At that time, I will see you off at the Changting Pavilion of Xia Shili."
Tsk!
What are you talking about? This guy is a talent.
Having this kind of person by his side is enough to save Zhao Huan countless troubles. As long as this money is sent to Yizhou, Zhao Kun will definitely do a lot.
"In that case, then you should accompany me to the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Chen Zhao's eyes gleamed, he bowed his head and made a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty, please."
Zhao Shiyan, who had witnessed the entire incident, couldn't help but snort, and looked at Chen Zhao with contempt.
If it weren't for Zhao Huan's sake, he would have dealt with the dirty official Chen Zhao first!
Before Zhao Huan arrived at the Hubu lobby, the door was already full of people.
They are all familiar faces, the children of the Household Department who helped Zhao Huan obtain Zhao Kun's identity document.
Seeing Zhao Huan coming, a group of disciples immediately surrounded him.
"Your Majesty! You are finally here. We have been waiting here for a long time."
"Do you think that today's prince is particularly handsome?"
"Stop talking nonsense, the prince has always been handsome!"
"Hey, Your Majesty, I'm hosting a big banquet at Changchun Tower, please be sure to show your respect."
Looking at the crowd of Hubu disciples with flattering smiles on their faces, Zhao Huan was unambiguous: "Stop doing this!"
"Your Majesty has appointed this king as the supervisory censor. Naturally, he must strictly crack down on corruption and enforce the law impartially in everything so that he can live up to his majesty's trust."
"Are all the officials from our headquarters here? I am holding a small meeting!"
The children of Hube were all laughing, but in their hearts they were cursing.
He is worthy of being the King of Ding, holding a chicken feather as an arrow.
The disciple named Zhang Tao looked helpless.
"My lord, I'm afraid it won't work."
"The minister is handling state affairs in the palace, the minister is out on official business, the doctor is reporting illness, and the minister is outside..."
Before Zhang Tao could finish speaking, Zhao Huan had already posted a big-ear message.
"What now?"
Zhang Tao covered his face and almost cried: "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."
"You are of the eighth rank, and Lord Shangshu is of the third rank."
"You have been idle all day, while Lord Shangshu is busy with official duties."
"We can't let Lord Shangshu accommodate you, right?"
Seeing Zhao Huan raise his palm again, Zhang Tao quickly took two steps back and quickly changed his words.
"Don't you just want to check up on Yizhou's affairs? Why do you need to enter the headquarters lobby? All the military pay allocated over the years has been registered."
"I will immediately send someone to send all the files in Yizhou to Prince Ding's Mansion."
"Taking a step back, so what if we find out? Conviction is a matter for Dali Temple, and dismissal and deployment are a matter for the Ministry of Personnel. There is always a place where you can get stuck."
"The inside story of Yizhou is very complicated. I advise you not to investigate. If you keep investigating, you will get burned."
How could Zhao Huan not know how difficult Yizhou is?
With Gao Qi's downfall, the situation in Yizhou will only become more chaotic.
Even if a group of military leaders are really removed, it will only scratch the surface.
If the imperial court sends an official, the local forces will dare to kill him.
Three feet of ice did not last a day, and Yizhou had long been rotten to the core.
But this is also an opportunity for Zhao Huan, who can take advantage of the chaos to profit. If the local forces are clearly divided, they must be extremely strong.
Zhao Huan is sitting in Bianjing and trying to control Yizhou is nothing more than a fool's dream.
But this is not a problem for Zhao Huan. Who said that the Ministry of Revenue supervises the censor and cannot control other departments?
Zhao Huan insists on treating everyone equally!
"The Ministry of Revenue only allocated funds to Yizhou?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao stepped back again, his face turned pale: "My lord, please, please show your respect."
"All the officials in the world are just Master Qingtian if you don't investigate. If you investigate, you will find that Dute Niang is a corrupt official, but she can't withstand the investigation."
"If you insist on going your own way and cause a violent backlash in the court, I'm afraid..."
Before Zhang Tao could finish speaking, Zhao Huan blurted out: "Afraid?"
"How to write this word?"
Zhang Tao was speechless for a moment, no one else dared to say anything, but the prince in front of him did not dare to do anything.
Just when Zhang Tao was secretly cursing that Hubu was going to be the target of public criticism, a man dressed as a domestic servant suddenly came up to him.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to trouble, you just need to enforce the law impartially."
"If you need to use the official department, just ask."
Before Zhang Tao could recover, another middle-aged man ran over.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Dali Temple asked me to bring you a message."
"You can make as much noise as you like in the Ministry of Household Affairs, just don't set the fire on Dali Temple. The state affairs are heavy now, and Dali Temple has no time to receive you."
