"Your Highness, everyone is here!" Liu Jin came behind Zhu Houzhao and bowed.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's go see him!" As he said that, Zhu Houzhao turned around and walked out behind.

When Zhu Houzhao walked into Xianyang Palace, all eight people inside knelt down and paid homage to Zhu Houzhao. This is called Tingshen. Zhu Houzhao walked straight to the main seat and sat down. He glanced at the eight people kneeling on the ground and slowly

He slowly said: "No courtesy!"

Only then did the eight people get up from the ground and stand respectfully with their hands down.

The eight people present were the main persons in charge of the Eighth Bureau among the twenty-four yamen, that is, the palm eunuchs. Since the matter of the Salt and Iron Division was settled, Zhu Houzhao's attention shifted to the Eighth Bureau. Zhu Youtang also kept his promise.

, assigned the eighth round to Zhu Houzhao. This was the first time Zhu Houzhao met these people.

Eight bureaus, eight palm print eunuchs, these are the eunuchs Zhu Houzhao has been dealing with for a long time.

Although things in the palace are not as chaotic and complicated as those in the imperial court, the struggles inside the palace are not at all gentler than those outside. The fighting among the servants is also very fierce. The eunuch who can do the eight-game handprint shows that this

People are not simple, they have ability and background, the latter may be more important.

But these are of no use to Zhu Houzhao. He glanced at the eight eunuchs with palm prints in the Eighth Bureau, and Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "Father, the Eighth Bureau has been handed over to me. You will work under me from now on, and the future will be long."

, I will not say whether there is something or not, but bring me the account books of the Eighth Bureau within half a year."

"Being a good person starts with the ledger. Let's see if the ledger is correct first, and then we'll talk about other things."

The people below all lowered their heads and checked the accounts. The first thing the prince did when he took over the eighth bureau was to check the accounts, which made them all worried.

Zhu Houzhao didn't check the accounts for real reasons. There were so many tricks in the palace. Those who embezzled, took bribes, made false reports, and resold the items in the palace. This can be said to be banned repeatedly. What's more, the Eighth Bureau is inside the 24th Yamen

Those with a very low status have basically no source of money, so naturally they have to make decisions from there.

Life is nothing more than fame, wealth and women. If women are not suitable, then let's talk about love between men and women. But these eunuchs are born with a lack of love between men and women. Don't even think about love between men and women. What's the point of fame when you are an eunuch? The rest is nothing but money and power.

, Needless to say, the eighth round itself is not a good job, especially the Huanyi round.

Then all that is left is money. It is very necessary for eunuchs to save money. Otherwise, how can they survive when they leave the palace when they are old? They will not even have any descendants.

Zhu Houzhao knew these things very well, and he also understood that it was basically impossible to prevent them. This was not the purpose of Zhu Houzhao's accounting. There were two main purposes. One was to beat the eunuchs of the Eighth Bureau and let them know that although he was young,

But it's not easy to fool, just find two people to establish your authority.

Another purpose is to show it to outsiders. When a new official takes office, he must have political achievements, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao is the prince?

The prince is in charge of the eighth game, so naturally it cannot be the same as before, otherwise what would it be like? The eighth game is the stage for Zhu Houzhao to show himself to the outside world.

"We'll talk about other things after checking the accounts!" Zhu Houzhao stood up and walked out. After leaving the door, Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin: "Find a few smart little eunuchs to take orders. In addition, keep an eye on these people and don't let them go."

What are they doing behind the scenes? Be especially careful not to let them destroy the accounts."

Although he didn't know what these people would choose, Zhu Houzhao knew that those with evil intentions would definitely take action.

Zhu Houzhao took over the affairs of the Eighth Bureau and auditing the accounts. Although there was no uproar in the palace, it was basically the same. He even alerted several eunuchs in the ceremony department. You must know that the eunuchs in the palace are all one.

There are connections everywhere, Zhu Houzhao must have pulled out the carrots and brought up the mud when checking the accounts.

Another point is that these people have basically reached out to the Eighth Bureau or received money from the Eighth Bureau.

Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to these at all. He focused on the account books. In Zhu Houzhao's words, everything had to wait until the account books were checked. Of course, in addition to this matter, Zhu Houzhao also paid attention to other things, but this matter

You can't tell it openly, you have to send people to investigate secretly.

"Liu Jin, where are the people Eunuch Yang sent to serve?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin and asked.

After Zhu Houzhao sent Yang Lian back, Yang Peng, the boss of Dongchang, sent someone over again to apologize. After all, his godson was not ready for the prince to send him back, so it was appropriate to send two people away.

Yes. But this is a tacit understanding, and Yang Peng doesn't want to break the contact with Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Highness, here we come!" Liu Jin agreed, then bowed and said, Liu Jin and the others have been having a hard time these days.

Although Yang Lian did not participate in their schedule, Liu Jin and others could see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued Yang Lian very much. There were only a few seats next to His Royal Highness, and the competition was already fierce enough.

, and now another person came out to grab food, how could Liu Jin not be worried.

But now that Yang Lian is gone, Liu Jin doesn't know what Yang Lian is doing. She just knows that she was sent back to Dongchang.

Liu Jin and others were quite happy at first, but who would have thought that Dongchang would send someone over again? Liu Jin was naturally angry but dared not speak out, but it was definitely uncomfortable in his heart.

"I don't see him anymore. Follow him to the East Factory, meet Eunuch Yang, and ask the East Factory to send some people to visit the Eighth Bureau outside. The main purpose is to find someone to check on the lives of the craftsmen.

How about it?" Zhu Houzhao said and looked at Liu Jin: "This matter cannot be leaked, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Liu Jin agreed, and then said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely understand."

"Your Highness, I think it's not good to always rely on Dongchang for these things. Should we get some of our own people?" Liu Jin saw that Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood and couldn't help but put forward his own ideas.

Liu Jin has been thinking about this matter for several days. From the time Yang Lian came to the East Palace, Liu Jin has been thinking about it. In Liu Jin's view, Yang Lian's favor is nothing more than His Highness wanting the East Palace to handle things. If these things are done by themselves

It can be done, and His Highness will naturally not care about the people in Dongchang.

What's more, once I can do it, won't His Highness rely on me more? Will I be more favored? In the future, when His Highness ascends the throne, will I be able to get the East Factory? This is to prepare for a rainy day and leave before others.
