"Old Yao, don't worry, the account department's accounts will be checked in a few days..."
"How many days will it take?" Yao Xiaoren was stunned, then shook his head and said: "Prince, you may not know that His Majesty has been checking the accounts of the Household Department for many years."
"Because His Majesty also suspects that there is huge corruption in the accounts."
"But at the end of each investigation, no problems were found. On several occasions, we even found that there were many accounts in the account department that saved a lot of money."
"In this way, Hu Bu is not only innocent, but also guilty."
"The reason why we can't find out is because it took too long and the accounts have been tampered with for a long time."
"Your Majesty will definitely be looking forward to the prince's audit this time. If nothing is found out, your Majesty will definitely be very angry. The second prince, third prince and their officials will also take the opportunity to impeach the prince."
Yao Xiaoren was very worried.
Auditing accounts is not a simple matter at all.
Besides, Chen Changfeng had been delayed for several days because of his daughter.
If something went wrong in the end, how could Yao Xiaoren be worthy of Chen Changfeng?
"Your Highness, Uncle Yao is right, we should go there quickly." Liu Miaomiao also advised.
Both of them were so anxious that Chen Changfeng could only nod.
The three of them left the East Palace, and there were a dozen people dressed as shopkeepers standing outside the East Palace.
"This is the shopkeeper Miaomiao invited to the prince to check the accounts. They are all experienced hands." Yao Xiaoren explained.
Chen Changfeng nodded without saying anything. He waved his hand and motioned for everyone to follow him.
The Hubu Yamen is located in the imperial city and is separated from the east and west of the East Palace.
After crossing more than half of the imperial city, everyone arrived at the gate of Hubu Yamen.
Liu Miaomiao's condition has indeed improved a lot. After walking so much, I can only see that her breathing is relatively rapid, but her complexion is still normal.
"Stop, Hubu Yamen, no idlers are allowed to enter." Today, at the door of Hubu Yamen, the people standing guard were actually replaced by guards.
Two guards blocked the door and looked at Chen Changfeng and others expressionlessly.
"We are under the command of the Prince of the East Palace. We have come to the Household Department to check the accounts. Get out of the way quickly." Liu Miaomiao took a step forward and looked at the two guards.
"What accounts are you checking? The fourth prince and the fifth prince have business at the household department, so please don't disturb them." The guard replied casually.
Obviously, their existence was caused by the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince deliberately causing trouble.
Chen Changfeng was about to speak when he saw Yao Xiaoren stopping him: "Prince, I'll come."
After Yao Xiaoren said that, he walked up to the two guards and snorted coldly: "The prince and the prime minister have been ordered to check the accounts. Will you give in?"
"There is no oral instruction from the fourth prince and the fifth prince..."
"What nonsense, the fourth and fifth princes, I'll punch you in the face." Yao Xiaoren didn't wait for the guard to finish speaking, and punched him at that time.
The guard who spoke immediately flew out.
Another guard was about to fight back, but before he could get close, he was kicked away by Yao Xiaoren.
"Fuck!" Chen Changfeng couldn't help but be surprised at this moment.
Is this still the Yao Xiaoren I know?
Is this a fierce general in the army?
With such a powerful skill, why have I never seen him use it?
"If you dare to stand in the way of the prince, even if the fourth prince and the fifth prince come together, they will still be able to crawl out." Yao Xiaoren seemed to be a completely different person at this moment.
Chen Changfeng felt that he was already arrogant enough.
Unexpectedly, old Yaotou actually had this skill.
Ok, Ok!
"Uncle Yao was a monk in the temple back then, and his skills were very impressive. He could cross a hundred-foot-wide cliff with a rope."
"But because he killed too many people when he helped His Majesty ascend the throne, Uncle Yao said he would never fight with anyone again."
"I didn't expect that this time I would break the precept for His Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Miaomiao explained, with a look of amazement on his face.
She also learned about these things from her father Liu Shuwen.
This was also the first time she saw Yao Xiaoren take action.
"Prince, please." Yao Xiaoren invited Chen Changfeng in gently.
It's nothing like the harshness just now.
"Ah, okay." Chen Changfeng nodded and walked into the Hubu Yamen.
…
Hubu Yamen.
The Minister of Household Affairs was talking to the fourth and fifth princes.
"With the help of the fourth and fifth princes, the prince may not even be able to get in." Shangshu said with a smile.
"That kid Lao Liu thinks he has some abilities, so he doesn't care about anyone. Today I will let him know that there are many capable people, but having power is the most important thing." The fourth prince
His face looked cold.
So what if Chen Changfeng is capable?
Chen Changfeng couldn't even get in if he didn't let him in the household department.
Check the accounts, check the damn accounts.
If Chen Changfeng had the guts to bring this matter to the emperor, his fourth prince would at most be reprimanded.
If the emperor knew that Chen Changfeng couldn't get into the household department, what would he think of him?
Therefore, the fourth prince is not worried at all.
"It's the fourth brother who has the idea. That kid Lao Liu has been acting boldly recently. The second brother and the third brother are thinking of brotherhood and don't deal with him, but we can't pretend that nothing happened."
"If I don't teach him a lesson this time, he really thinks he can cover the sky with one hand." After the fifth prince finished speaking with a smile, he glanced at the door and suddenly stood up.
"Lao Wu, what are you doing..."
"What the hell, how did they get in?" The fourth prince was still confused. The fifth prince suddenly stood up like a lunatic. From the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Changfeng and a group of people appearing in front of him.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Shangshu Hube's throat rumbled, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Didn't they agree that someone would stop them?
Why did you come in so quickly?
"I didn't expect that the prince would come in so quickly?" Chen Changfeng walked to the top of the Yamen and stared at the fourth prince sitting in his seat.
"Sixth, what do you want to do?" The fourth prince felt a little scared for no reason.
"You are not talking nonsense. I am the prince, and of course the position of superior is mine. Please get out of here, prince."
"And you, stand up. Prime Minister Yao has worked hard for Ming Dynasty for half his life. He is here, and you have the nerve to sit down?" Chen Changfeng pointed at the fifth prince again.
The fifth prince opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but saw that Yao Xiaoren was already standing in front of him.
"Yao Xiaoren, what do you want?" The fifth prince's face turned a little dark, but he believed that Yao Xiaoren did not dare to do anything to him, the prince.
"Fifth Prince, I have been ordered to come to the Account Department to audit the accounts. Anyone who has nothing to do with the audit is asked to leave immediately, otherwise I will not be polite." Yao Xiaoren said expressionlessly.
The fifth prince was a little confused.
Yao Xiaoren was not like this before.
Why are you suddenly as domineering as Chen Changfeng?
"I...I am the fifth prince, you...you still dare to touch me?" The fifth prince was so frightened that his voice changed.
"So, the fifth prince is not planning to leave." Yao Xiaoren's eyes darkened.
He actually didn't want to appear too strong, which was inconsistent with his long-term performance in the court.
But if he, Yao Xiaoren, didn't say anything, Chen Changfeng would have to handle the matter personally.
Since I have chosen to be loyal to the Crown Prince, I have to do what I have to do!
"you……"
Before the fifth prince could say anything, Yao Xiaoren grabbed the clothes around his neck.
Like a little chicken, Yao Xiaoren threw him out of the door and fell to the ground.
"Ahem." Chen Changfeng coughed slightly and his eyes fell on the fourth prince's face.
The corners of the fourth prince's mouth twitched, this was really reminding him to get out of here!
The fourth prince cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to sit there anymore and ran out of the door with a dark face.
"Sixth, wait, I will definitely report this matter to my father, and you, Yao Xiaoren, wait!" The fourth prince roared from outside.
