Chapter 62: Turmoil in the court

In the Taihe Palace, at this moment, the four princes did not squint and stood behind the right minister.

After finding the military salary in the morning, he quickly returned to the palace. changed into his reckless dragon robe and went to the palace to go to court.

At this time, Emperor Chu had not yet arrived. The entire court and the ministers were whispering.

From time to time, some ministers passed by the side of the Four Emperors, and seemed to be a little surprised by the arrival of the Four Princes.

"You said that these four princes came to the court again after two days. What's going on? ”

"Is it possible that the pay has been found?"

"How is this possible, it's only been less than two days. That's it? ”

"It's impossible, maybe it's like Qianqiu said. Luo Hai insisted on stealing himself. ”

The ministers talked a lot, but when it came to a thousand hatreds, no matter which faction people were or neutral people, they couldn't help but look at the one who was already standing relatively high, and the four-grade official had a thousand hatreds.

To be honest, the ministers were a little scared of his crow's mouth. This guy is not only crow-mouthed, but also not afraid of offending people.

Of course, such a person does make the prince very important. There are such talents in your own faction, and if you can't say anything yourself, you can help you say it.

Therefore, Qianqiu has been promoted from a fifth-grade official to a fourth-grade official, and it is still the kind of real power.

Although the crown prince at this moment was a little surprised by the arrival of the fourth prince, he didn't take it seriously.

After all, an idle prince, even if he has a title, so what, idleness is idleness after all, and there is no power in the court.

As for the second prince, he looked distracted at the moment, and his thoughts didn't know where he had drifted to, and he didn't know who he thought of.

But the third prince thought more, he had seen the methods of the fourth prince.

If this guy competes for the throne, he will definitely be a big enemy.

Now that he is here, it means that there is a great possibility that the military pay case will be solved.

Thinking of this, the poisonous gaze of the third prince couldn't help but glance at Wei Ming, who was a little nervous not far away.

It's this guy who caused his plan to fail, and almost affected himself.

It seems that if you have any plans next time, you must find some trustworthy people. This kind of person who can rebel for the sake of money must not be trusted.

The third prince made up his mind, he would not reuse such a greedy guy from his faction.

At this time, Wei Ming, the head of the household, was indeed a little nervous, and the arrival of the fourth prince made him a little restless.

Although yesterday he pointed out a wrong direction of investigation to the fourth prince.

But at this moment, his heart was a little uneasy, and he felt that the four princes seemed to have been sweeping over him as if they were nothing.

"Emperor Chu has arrived!"

With the sound of these words, the entire Taihe Hall suddenly fell silent.

As Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair, the ministers knelt down and saluted.

"Meet Emperor Chu!"

"Get up, what's going on today?"

The majestic voice of Emperor Chu sounded, and the ministers got up one after another.

When the fourth prince heard this at this moment, he didn't want to waste time, and the matter of his own princess was the key.

He stood straight out of the line.

"Father, the son has something to do."

Wei Ming, who was not far away, was a little panicked at this time, and he kept reminding himself in his heart. Maybe the fourth prince checked the wrong case, maybe Luohai recruited it!

Emperor Chu was a little surprised when he saw that the four princes spoke first, and he had found a military salary. But it's only been less than two days, and if the case is really solved. There is absolutely no doubt about the ability of the four princes!

"What do I have to say?"

"Father, the case of Luo Haijun's salary, the son-in-law has been thoroughly investigated. Today, I would like to announce you. ”

The fourth prince said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"And the last suspect is in this Taihe Palace!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers had different thoughts. Unconsciously looked around, as if suspecting that the person next to him was the suspect.

The third prince was also a little nervous in his heart, but his face was not revealed at all.

As soon as the fourth prince said this, his heart beat a little faster. However, he was confident that he had processed all the evidence.

Wei Ming, the head of the household, was completely flustered at this time, and his heart was pounding.

There is a sense of impending disaster.

"Did you find out? Let's talk about it! The widow wants to see who is so bold. The culprit will not be spared. ”

Emperor Chu's majestic gaze looked at the ministers below, and all the ministers who were seen lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly.

The majesty of Emperor Chu can be seen.

"Father, this person is Wei Ming, the servant of the household department."

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged!"

The last glimmer of hope in Wei Ming's heart was shattered. But he was not stupid, and immediately knelt down and cried.

"Weichen has done his best for His Majesty, and he has died. Categorically would not do such a thing. ”

The officials who were closer to Wei Ming stayed away from him one after another.

Avoid snakes and scorpions.

Emperor Chu ignored Wei Ming's shouting and continued to look at the four princes.

The fourth prince didn't pay attention to Wei Ming either, he picked up a wooden box from the side, which he had prepared before.

When the box is opened, a piece of gold appears in the box.

The third prince, who was not far from the fourth prince, saw it for the first time. His heart struck, he didn't think it was an ordinary piece of gold.

This should be water and gold!

Damn Wei Ming, what are you doing with this.

This one stays, and you still want how not to die.

Emperor Chu and the surrounding ministers all saw this piece of gold, but they didn't take it seriously.

It's just a piece of gold, what can change?

Seeing the reaction of the ministers, the fourth prince smiled and said, "This is not gold, this thing is called water and gold." Wei Ming used this thing to replace the gold, and it was this that Luo Hai took from the household department. ”

Emperor Chu was also a little curious at the moment, and glanced at it.

Someone next to him immediately went down to fetch it.

The fourth prince handed over the wooden box and continued to speak: "Father, this water and gold has a characteristic. When it encounters water, it melts, and when it encounters fire, it burns. So Ding Cheng actually colluded with Wei Ming, and on the way to escort the military salary, Ding Cheng washed it with water on the grounds that the box was a little dirty. So all the water and gold is gone. As for Ding Cheng, he was killed and killed. ”

Emperor Chu looked at the water and gold in the wooden box, which was indeed exactly the same as gold.

"Fetch water!"

Not long after, a bucket of water was placed on top of the main hall.

At this time, the ministers were all a little curious, and they all stared at the bucket.

At the same time, one of the guards took the water from the wooden box and threw it into the water.

The sound of "Zizizi" sounded, and the palm-sized piece of water disappeared.

All the ministers of the Taihe Hall were shocked, and this disappeared.

If there is a problem with their own gold, they make up their minds to go home and try it.

At this time, when Wei Ming saw the piece of water and gold, could he not be familiar with it. By its size, he knew it was the piece he had collected.

At this moment, he regretted it in his heart, regretting why he had to collect these things that could kill him. How good it is to directly follow the orders of the three princes, all the fires are burned, and there is nothing left.

Although it is not clear how the four princes found it, the hidden water that they hid was golden. However, since the water consumption gold has been found, it is estimated that the four princes have also found it, together with those letters and accounts.

But in case, the four princes only have water to consume gold, and it can't be proved that they did it themselves.

"Your Majesty, even if there is a problem with the military salary, it doesn't mean that I did it. It's also possible that someone from the treasury deep in the household department did it! ”

"Shut up!"

Emperor Chu roared.

He was sure that the caretakers of the treasury would not do that. Unless they're tired of living.

There are guardians in the treasury, and how can they be deceived by the turmoil in the treasury.

This explosion made the ministers panic and bow down one after another.

"Your Majesty is angry."

Emperor Chu's majestic gaze swept towards Wei Ming, and Wei Ming was suddenly silent.

"There won't be a problem with the treasury. No one knows for sure. However, based on this piece of water and gold alone, it is still not certain that Wei Ming is the culprit of stealing military salaries. ”

Wei Ming was overjoyed.

Right! A piece of water doesn't prove anything. There is still hope for him.

PS: Sorry, it's a little late...
