Chapter 234 The Red Book and Iron Certificate Was Stolen
The eldest prince smiled slightly, politely.
"We are here to help, Princess Jinyun, you won't mind, right?"
Yun Zheng's expression was calm. "How could that be? This is a good thing."
The third prince was dumbfounded. What was going on with these people?
Are you even trying to snatch work? Or do you have other plans?
No, he had to find out what was going on.
The Second Prince chuckled and said, "Princess Jinyun, you are not only good at business, but you also manage your subordinates very well. You are so capable."
The Fourth Prince was full of praise, "Of course. Ever since Princess Jinyun took over the Imperial Household Department, the performance has increased fivefold. That's amazing."
In order to prevent the Third Prince and Yun Zheng from getting close to him under the pretext of official business and thus gaining Yun Zheng's help, he tried his best.
The eldest prince took the initiative to show goodwill, "Princess Jinyun, I support your marriage with the Ninth Prince, and I will also speak well of you in front of the Emperor."
The Third Prince couldn't stand it any longer. Were they trying to save the country in a roundabout way, curry favor with Yun Zheng, and thus gain the support of the Ninth Prince?
"This marriage won't happen. It's better to give up as soon as possible. The emperor's attitude is so obvious. Don't let it get you into trouble. If you lose the emperor's favor, you will be nothing."
Yun Zheng became even more annoyed. Will she be allowed to eat?
She rolled her eyes and thought of a way to get rid of them. "Come here, ask the four princes to go to the database and clear the warehouse accounts for the past five years. By the way, take stock of the satin warehouse."
"Oh, yes, these are all confidential matters of the Guangchusi. You must do this yourself and not rely on others."
When they heard the secret, they looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
For a long time, the Imperial Household Department has been the emperor's private treasury, and no one is allowed to interfere. This time, there is finally a chance.
Yun Zheng said solemnly, "Everyone, please finish this before leaving the court."
The Third Prince glanced at the sky and asked, "What if it can't be completed?"
Yun Zheng casually said, "Just stay up all night and rush it out. If you don't want to do it, just leave immediately. But, don't enter the main gate of the Imperial Household Department from now on."
The Fourth Prince patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, we will do it to perfection."
It’s too early to say this. Only after he did it did he realize that it was a deep pit.
Five years of accounts piled up like a mountain, cumbersome and complicated, making people dizzy.
Even if the four brothers divided the work and worked together, they would not be able to complete the task in a short time, let alone taking inventory.
There is no end to it. There is no end to it.
Why did they believe Yun Zheng’s lies?
After the princes disappeared from sight, Zhang Zongguan asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Yun Zheng picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. "Talk less and watch more. Don't ruin the emperor's careful arrangements."
As soon as she brought up the emperor, Steward Zhang immediately shut up. He thought, he should stay out of the fights between the princes so as not to be affected.
However, he was a little worried, "Aren't you afraid that they will take this opportunity to extend their hands to the Guangchusi?"
Yun Zheng's gaze was profound and far-reaching, and she said meaningfully, "The test for them has just begun."
Manager Zhang trembled all over and muttered in his heart, "Your Majesty, if you don't tell me anything, am I still your confidant?"
Biased! This is the Imperial Household Department! His territory!
Late at night, the palace
The emperor put down his brush, rubbed his neck, and ordered, "Obanto, prepare to take a bath."
"yes."
The eunuch asked someone to prepare toiletries.
I pushed open the door next door and walked in, and steaming hot mist hit me in the face.
The emperor soaked in the steaming hot bath and breathed a sigh of relief.
The chief eunuch personally stepped forward to serve, "Your Majesty, which lady would you like to sleep with you tonight?"
The emperor was also tired, "Not necessary tonight."
He finally had time to ask, "Has the Third Prince gone to the Imperial Household Department?"
"All four princes have gone."
The emperor snorted coldly, "The Second Prince is also there? Humph, they are all troublesome people."
As soon as they heard that the Third Prince was going to work in the Imperial Household Department, they all rushed to go, fearing that all the benefits would be taken away by the Third Prince.
Even the second prince, who had difficulty walking, rushed to go, which was beyond his expectation.
So, is there really a pure and unselfish prince in the royal family? They are all pretending!
The eunuch didn't dare to breathe.
The emperor took out a heart-shaped jade pendant from somewhere, rubbed it for a long time, and fell into memories of the past.
"Otomo, time flies so fast. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
The chief eunuch knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, it's all in the past. Don't think about it anymore."
The emperor shook his head slightly, his expression complicated and indescribable, "Don't worry, I'm just sighing, hey."
The eunuch was even more worried. As the saying goes, what you can't get will always cause you trouble!
At this moment, a secret guard came in hurriedly, "Your Majesty, number seven is back."
The emperor was shocked. The person he sent to get the red book and iron certificate came back!
"Let him in."
As soon as the secret guard came in, he brought terrible news, "Your Majesty, the red seal and iron certificate have been stolen."
The emperor's face changed drastically. The cooked duck flew away like this? "What did you say? Stolen? Who is so bold?"
The secret guard was seriously injured and his face was pale. "We had already found the Danshu Tiequan in the small Buddhist temple, but at the critical moment, a group of men in black rushed out to snatch the Danshu Tiequan, led by a masked man."
"We were defeated, seventeen of our brothers died, and the imperial seal and iron certificate were stolen. Please punish us, Your Majesty."
The emperor frowned, his mind racing, "What is the origin of the man in black?"
The secret guard said, "When I was fighting, I found that the man in black had a tattoo of the Nether Flower."
The emperor's face changed when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and asked urgently, "The Nether Flower is the emblem of the previous dynasty's royal family. Are you sure?"
"Absolutely not."
The emperor's eyes were cold and terrifying. "It seems that the news leaked out in advance. Investigate, investigate thoroughly."
"yes."
The emperor pondered for a moment, "Otomo, what do you think?"
The head eunuch's expression was not good either. "There are still remnants of the previous royal family, and they have a group of secret guards at their disposal."
The emperor sneered, "Not only that, they are lurking around me, watching me all the time."
He said coldly, "Call the former Prime Minister. This useless old man has not achieved any results so far. It seems that he does not want to resume his original position, let alone his descendants to serve in the government."
He originally wanted to ask the former Prime Minister to dig out this force and consume each other, but who would have thought that the old man refused to fall into the trap and did not put in any effort.
"yes."
The Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Send Yong'an as an envoy to the Kingdom of Nanyue, and have the Mingjingsi accompany him. Have them gather intelligence along the way. I want to know the latest situation of the Nanyue border defenses, as well as the power situation of all parties in the court and the country."
The chief eunuch was secretly shocked. The emperor was suspicious of Yong'an and the Kingdom of Nanyue, so he sent her out to meet with the emperor and empress of Nanyue and turn Nanyue upside down.
Of course, this is just a cover.
What does it mean to spy on the defense situation of the border city? It goes without saying.
A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes, "As for Ye Yizhen..."
He uttered a very cold decision with his thin lips.
