I, the crown prince, resign [Transmigration Book]

There is a saying that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the household department is in charge of the household registration and finance, which is related to the people's livelihood in the world. The so-called rich is the uncle, so the household department is quite strong among the six departments, and its words are full of confidence.However, it is such an uncle who has been tossed recently because he has trouble sleeping and eating, and restless sitting and sleeping.

The origin of the matter still lies with Li Jinghuan.

Shangyu: Crown Prince Li Jinghuan is in charge of checking the deficit of the household department.No matter when the deficit is found, it will be exposed immediately, and the dismissal will be exempted and compensation will be paid.Anyone who is short-lived will be compensated with all his family property. If he has no family property and he dies, his wife will compensate on his behalf.

Li Jinghuan didn't rest for a few days after returning, and the emperor began to urge him. In desperation, he had to come to the household department again.Looking at the door of the household department really feels like a world away.

Instructing the door not to report, Li Jinghuan stepped in, and saw that the lobby of the household department was empty from a distance, only the fourth prince Li Jingyu and some people who were on business this time were inside, all sitting silently and caring for each other.

The lobby was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop to the ground.

"Cough," Li Jinghuan cleared his throat, and looked at them suspiciously: "What's the matter? Fourth brother, why are you here?"

"Second brother," Li Jingyu heard the movement and got up and strode forward, his eyes brightened, "Father said that you were tired a while ago and asked me to help you, but my brother sees that you look good, so it should be fine. "

Several officials had seen the power of this master early in the morning, so they didn't dare to be negligent, and they all stood up to salute.

Li Jinghuan nodded, and said calmly: "My lords, there is no need to be too polite. I have worked hard a few days ago, and I need your help to check the accounts recently."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Jingyu, his eyes flicked across his face, along his shoulders to his feet, and then he looked up at his dark eyes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a gentle smile, "Thin Come on, I just started to get in touch with the affairs of the court recently, so I'm too busy."

Li Jingyu was proud of himself, he had been able to do these things with ease early in the morning, so it was hard work, but his stature has grown a lot recently, so he looks a little thinner.

There was a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, "Second brother, don't worry, my brother has been in good health since he was a child, and this little thing can't bother me."

"That's good," Li Jinghuan nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to the other ministers, "I think everyone knows the reason for Gu's visit today, so I won't say much about Gu. I found a lot of deficits when I checked the accounts at the Ministry of Accounts. Tell all the adults to go back and take a good look, I wonder if you have any clues?"

All the ministers looked at each other, and finally the Minister of the Household Department stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Prince, since you said it last time, I dare not take it lightly, and went back to recalculate the accounts, but the time is limited. Currently, still..."

"What else?" Li Jinghuan frowned.

Without waiting for the Minister of the Household Department to answer, Li Jingyu interrupted him sharply, "What else can I do? I didn't find anything. I didn't dare to investigate because you couldn't get rid of the deficit."

"I dare not wait!" The ministers knelt down in a large area, all with trembling voices.

"Okay, get up," Li Jinghuan raised his hand to signal them to get up, then walked to the main seat and sat down, "If you have any difficulties, you can talk to Gu."

"This..." Hubu Shangshu stood where he was, hesitating and not daring to speak.

Li Jingyu glared at him, "Didn't you hear what the second brother of the prince said? If you tell me what to say, what are you talking about?"

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, it's not that I don't want to investigate, it's not that I didn't investigate. It really involves too much. Many of them are colleagues in the court, and so are the ministers..."

"Enough!" Li Jingyu interrupted him, his fair face flushed slightly, he seemed to be really impatient, he took two steps anxiously, and his voice raised, "You ministers are always in human relations, and officials and officials protect each other. Don't forget, whose subjects are you, who are you working for!"

"Fourth brother." Li Jinghuan turned cold and stopped him. After all, he is the person who will work together in the future, so how can we make the relationship stalemate now.

Li Jingyu slowly calmed down, and the blush on his face gradually faded.He has always hated these relationships and favors in the court. The more messy relationships there are, the harder it is for the courtiers to do things well. That's why he chose to be a lone minister in his last life.Now that I have come back to my life again, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing again, so I couldn't help but get angry.

After being scolded by the second brother, Li Jingyu realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My lords, I'm really sorry, I was too impulsive just now."

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "How dare the ministers blame the fourth prince? I don't blame you for being annoyed. I only blame the ministers for worrying too much, paying too much attention to their own dignity, and dare not take action. You are also in a hurry..."

Li Jinghuan sighed softly: "Fourth brother, my lords, we have been working together for a long time, we need to work together, we must not argue at this time. This is not a place for conversation, let's go in first."

The ministers below nodded repeatedly and followed Li Jinghuan into the inner room.

After everyone sat down, Li Jinghuan asked a few guards to stand guard outside, and then said seriously: "If you have any difficulties, please tell me."

Wu Hui is an old minister, the oldest among these officials, because of his famous tough bones, the emperor specially assigned him to assist the prince in rectifying the deficit.

He was silent outside just now, and then he pondered for a moment, and said: "Prince, for the current plan, we should first check the accounts clearly, find the responsible officials, and deal with them later. , but you can let it go first."

Li Jinghuan frowned secretly with a cold face, which was not the usual style of this veteran.

Li Jingyu also had doubts in his heart, but seeing that his second brother didn't speak up, he could only ask for him: "When did Master Wu become so cautious? Is it true that he intends to keep silent, minimize major incidents, and protect himself wisely?"

"Cough, cough, cough," Wu Hui coughed a few times and said, "The fourth prince just misunderstood the old minister. No matter how dangerous or difficult, things have to be done. The coffin of the old minister is ready. This matter must be done for the emperor and the old minister." The prince did it..."

"Master Wu," Li Jingyu was so ashamed by what he said, his cheeks blushed, "I'm sorry, it's me..."

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all felt a bit sad, "Prince, the fourth prince, we are all carefully selected by the emperor to help the prince manage the deficit. The emperor thinks highly of us, and we will repay him wholeheartedly."

After speaking, these people knelt on the ground.

"Old ministers are not afraid of offending others. Future generations will judge whether these things are meritorious or not!" Wu Hui raised his head and said, "For the sake of the country and society of my Great Xia Dynasty, what should I do if I just want to be Wang Jinggong once again!"

Wang Jinggong is Wang Anshi. When Wang Anshi’s reform was proposed at the beginning, Song Shenzong felt that he should make great efforts to govern the country and strengthen the army, so he supported the reform. Failed.Wang Anshi himself was deposed.

Li Jinghuan frowned when he heard the words, "What is Master Wu talking about? Could it be that the father is a foolish emperor like Song Shenzong?"

Wu Hui realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly knelt down and said, "I dare not, I am just worried...worried that the emperor will..."

"My lord Wu, and other lords, you can rest assured. Think about it, why did the emperor suddenly ask us to rectify the deficit? Because we have to deal with it! The river workers have to repair dams every year to control floods; the northwest is ready to fight wars and build weapons. Raising military horses. Where does the money come from?"

Li Jinghuan stood up at this point, his voice raised unconsciously, "You said that you are afraid that the emperor will not manage these deficits because of the opposition of other ministers, so I will tell you clearly that as long as the court has no money for a day, This deficit must be dealt with to the end!"

His every word was resounding, and at this moment, it was almost too dazzling to look directly at.

Li Jinghuan felt everyone's fiery gazes, and he was extremely proud. He had practiced this posture of looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle for many days, and there was nothing domineering about him!

"Second brother," Li Jingyu stood up first when everyone else was speechless by his words, "Second brother is right! Everyone don't have to worry about it, just let go and do it well. Whether it’s good or bad, His Royal Highness will take care of you!”

The worry on Wu Hui's face finally disappeared, replaced by an extremely firm look, he turned his head and said forcefully to the others: "What the fourth prince and the prince said is right, we are the prince above us, and the emperor is above us, What are we afraid of!"

Finally, smiles appeared on the faces of the ministers below.

"It's really thanks to the second brother." As the sun set, Li Jinghuan and Li Jingyu left the household department side by side.

Li Jinghuan looked at Li Jingyu's face, which was painted orange by the setting sun. There was still a trace of childishness on the boy's face, but more of it was exhaustion.

He couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, the fourth brother must have been exhausted these days, "Go back and have a good rest, these days have been hard."

Li Jingyu lowered his head, sighed softly, and repeated again: "It's really thanks to the second brother."

Li Jinghuan patted him on the head as he did when he was a child, and said softly: "Second brother is not tired, he is always doing things for the father and the court, and he is used to it these years. This time, the second brother is here to deal with the deficit. Just let go and do it."

"Yeah!" Li Jingyu nodded heavily, "Second brother, go back and have a good rest, there is still a tough battle to fight."

"You also have a good rest, you have worked hard these days."

Li Jingyu smiled and called softly: "Second brother."
