Chapter 44: Corruption

The next day, before Su Yunian could come to his senses, Shangshu Mansion was surrounded by the Praetorian Guard.

Above the court, Emperor Tianyuan was dressed in a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. Mrs. Zhang stood up and said.

Emperor Tianyuan said in a deep voice: "What is the matter with Zhang Aiqing?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced in the direction of Nan Yuan. "I also hope that Your Majesty will calm your anger, and the matter that the minister wants to start is related to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Nan Yuan's eyelids jumped, and his intuition told him that nothing good would happen, and a feeling of uneasiness came to his heart.

Emperor Tianyuan looked at the ministers below, and said in a deep voice: "I forgive you for your innocence, Taifu Zhang said that it doesn't matter, what is the matter with His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Mrs. Zhang lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and then said: "Your Majesty, in the last war, the original 18 million food and salary in the army was missing 6 million quintals, so the minister ordered someone to investigate, but this check, but he didn't want to ......."

Occupy the talent of the whole country and stop talking, the courtiers are all smart people, how can they not understand what he means. Nan Yuan was shocked in his heart, it seems that this is to impose the deficit of six million quintals of food on his head.

Since Emperor Tianyuan took office, he has governed the country with integrity, and on weekdays, he also hates those corrupt officials the most, once this crime is implemented, then Nanyuan will lose the position of prince, not to mention, and there will be no chance to turn over at all.

This move is really vicious, since it is a move, the other party must have made complete preparations, Nan Yuan's head was running rapidly, thinking of a solution, and the superior Tianyuan Emperor roared angrily: "Who is it?

Although in that war, the king of war led everyone to return triumphantly, but because of the 6 million loads of food, the war that originally only sacrificed 50,000 people was enough to sacrifice 10,000 people!

Mrs. Zhang knocked his head down with a "bang". "If you go back to the emperor, it is His Royal Highness the Prince! The old minister found out that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who embezzled the six million loads of food and salary without permission, and the minister has evidence!" he said and handed over the fold.

After reading Zhang Taifu's recital, Emperor Tianyuan's face became more and more gloomy, and he fell to Nan Yuan's feet. "Bastard! Look at the good things you've done, have you read all the sage books for so many years? Why are you so bold? That's how I call you the way of governing the country?"

Nan Yuan hurriedly knelt down when he heard the sound. "He also caressed Huang Mingchang, his son was wronged, his father has always taught his son not to be corrupt and bend the law, how could his son ignore his father's teachings, ignore the law and discipline, and do such a thing of stealing chickens and dogs, someone must want to frame his son!"

Mrs. Zhang continued: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has found out the correspondence between you and Master Su, and it is clearly written that as long as you get the six million quintals of food, you will agree to marry Miss Su as your wife!"

"If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse! The father must not listen to slander, the letter can be forged by himself, and the son of the minister used the head of the item as a guarantee, and he has not done this!" Nan Yuan glared at Mrs. Zhang and said loudly.

Mrs. Zhang sighed. "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, at that time, it was clear that only five million people could be won at the expense of five million people, but 10,000 people starved to death......!

The eldest prince stood up and spoke earnestly. "Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince grew up under your watch, you are clear about his conduct, and I hope that my father will be aware of it, don't hurt the relationship between father and son because of this!"

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the ministers were a little dissatisfied, and it was only because of the relationship between father and son that they wanted to spare the corrupt people? How could it be! The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people!

Nanyue never said a word from beginning to end, and kept lowering his eyes, as if everything that happened at o'clock had nothing to do with him.

"I'm not old and foolish, if anyone intercedes for the prince again, don't blame me for being polite!"

At this moment, Nan Yuan spoke. "I wonder if my father remembers that each prince has a private seal that symbolizes his identity, I wonder if there is that mark on this letter?"

Emperor Tian Yuan calmed down for a moment, only to realize that he had ignored this detail, and Gong Xu picked up the letter and presented it again, but Emperor Tian Yuan did not see the mark. "Mrs. Zhang, how do you explain this?"

Mrs. Zhang shuddered. "Your Majesty, is it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid of being discovered, so he didn't put that mark on it?"

Nan Yuan sneered. "That mark represents the palace, Mrs. Zhang won't know it, this letter hopes that the eldest master will give the palace a reasonable explanation!"

Mrs. Zhang's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he didn't know how to answer.

Emperor Tianyuan released the coercion on his body and forced Taifu Zhang. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, Mrs. Zhang issued these letters, is there any other evidence?"

The eldest prince opened his mouth and said: "Father, this matter is full of loopholes, and I hope that my father will find out!"

General Lan also stood up and said: "I still love the emperor, if there is no full evidence, the old minister does not believe that this matter was done by the prince!"

Another minister stood up: "Your Majesty, since the crown prince accepted CEFE

gyi8lai, I haven't done anything to ignore the law, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter!"

Nanyue also stood up at this time. "Father, although I also believe in the personality of His Royal Highness the Prince, but there is no wind and no waves, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not do this dirty thing, how could he fall into the hands of others, this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated!"

Emperor Tianyuan looked at Nan Yuan, who was kneeling below, although he was kneeling there, his back was still straight, this matter still needs to be cautious, this son is still worth believing, and this is born to his beloved wife.

But if Nan Yuan takes advantage of his favor and acts recklessly, then their father-son relationship will come to an end, don't blame him for being ruthless, he is more than this son.

Emperor Tianyuan pondered for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, I order to go down, recall the war king, investigate this matter thoroughly, and within seven days, I want a satisfactory answer, during this period, His Royal Highness the crown prince is grounded in the palace, and no one is allowed to visit, and retreat from the court!"

The eldest prince raised his eyes, seven days? Then try it!

After the decay of the Tianyuan Emperor left, Nan Yuan tasted a breath, fortunately he was just grounded, Nan Yuan's eyes flashed with a fierce color, seven days was enough time for him to find evidence to prove his innocence!

Although today's process didn't go as smoothly as Nan Yue thought, he originally thought that Nan Yuan would lose the position of the crown prince and be severely punished, but he didn't expect it to be just a painless grounding, but these seven days were enough for him to die!

Nanyue actually had some doubts in her heart, she didn't want to check the matter of military salary, but she inadvertently found the paperwork, when he found out that there was a shortage of six million loads of food, he made up his mind in his heart, to deduct this basin of dirty water to Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan has been standing as the prince, he must act!
