Chapter 343: The Handle
This is Zhuo Chen's mistake, but when Zhuo Chen asked where Mo Shihuan was, he got an answer that he didn't know.
It was brought into the palace by someone, no wonder it couldn't be found in Ziyunlan.
It seems that he will only be able to go into the palace and investigate.
After thanking Bai Yu'an, Zhuo Chen immediately turned around and went to the palace.
The carriage galloped towards the palace, and the flying eagle sat beside Zhuo Chen, the corners of his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he immediately stopped his movements.
"Say whatever you want, we don't need to pretend." Zhuo Chen spoke quietly.
Feiying glanced at his master, bowed his head and said, "Master, the palace is so big, what reason do we have to use to search it."
Under the emperor's nose, if they are so presumptuous, I am afraid it will be inappropriate.
Zhuo Chen closed his eyes and said calmly, "I have my own way."
However, Zhuo Chen's front foot had not yet entered the palace, and the news of the back foot was immediately reported to Han Yunchen by the informant.
"Really?" Han Yunchen was overjoyed, rubbing his hands and walking back and forth excitedly, he had waited for revenge for so long, and today he finally caught the handle.
"Haha, Zhuo Chen, you don't claim to be frivolous, I want to see how crazy you are when you fall into my hands now!"
Han Yunchen finished the order without hesitation, and after his subordinates left, Han Yunchen sat on the chair and sneered: "King Xiliang, I won't let you go easily this time!"
Even if he can't trip Zhuo Chen in one go this time, he must be made to peel off a layer of skin, otherwise he will not be able to vent the resentment in Han Yunchen's heart.
Han Yunchen gently picked up the tea cup on the table, drank the water inside, and slammed it on the ground, the broken porcelain bottle was as hideous as a smile pulled from the corner of his mouth.
Zhuo Chen originally planned to meet the emperor, but when the car arrived outside the imperial gate, he saw a few inner servants guarding outside, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as Zhuo Chen appeared, the attendants stepped forward and knelt in front of Zhuo Chen, directly blocking Zhuo Chen's whereabouts.
The entrance to the palace was behind them, and Zhuo Chen could have easily jumped past them, but after sensing the fierce gaze of the forbidden army standing with swords inside the door, Zhuo Chen still suppressed this idea.
"Your Highness, the emperor wants to see you, and there is something important to discuss."
Several chamberlains said in unison.
Zhuo Chen raised his eyebrows, although he didn't understand what he meant, he said politely: "Since that's the case, let's lead the way."
Seeing that he agreed, the attendants were relieved for a while, and hurriedly got up and took Zhuo Chen inside.
Zhuo Chen can see it, even if he is unwilling, there will definitely be the next batch after driving away this batch. He had to go.
This also confirmed the doubts in Zhuo Chen's heart, that is, it was not possible that Concubine Shu and Han Yunchen had been waiting for him for a long time, and they would not let him see the emperor easily. I'm afraid the emperor didn't know about Zhuo Chen's arrival at all.
Forced to go to Concubine Shu to sit down, what I didn't expect was that the emperor was really there, Zhuo Chen originally wanted to tell the emperor about this time, but was interrupted by Concubine Shu's words again and again.
He has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to explain his intentions, and he can't directly tell the emperor that he wants to investigate such a thing as the harem that defies the world's condemnation.
The emperor estimated that if he didn't listen to it, he would be angry and come to blame him.
The emperor didn't notice that Zhuo Chen was wrong, and chatted with Zhuo Chen about the recent important matters in the tax treasury, and Zhuo Chen was able to leave after talking. During this period, Concubine Shu has always been with Zhuo Chen, and she has never been able to say anything about Zhuo Chen.
In the end, he left.
Right now, Zhuo Chen can see that if he wants to rescue Mo Shihuan, he must first ask Concubine Shu to give in. Moreover, Concubine Shu and King Wu are the same, and King Wu probably knows about it.
So, Zhuo Chen planned to find King Wu's handle first, and threaten Concubine Shu with the handle, and then things would be easier to say.
King Wu's handle Zhuo Chen has left a hand for a long time, that is, military quartermasters. At that time, he knew that King Wu used his position to secretly use the money from the tax treasury to make a lot of money, but these were very small liquidity, and the impact was not very large.
But the accumulation of time is not a small amount, so as long as this matter grasps the important link of the account book, then the army of King Wu will be ruthless.
As soon as Feiying heard Zhuo Chen's plan, he decisively carried out Zhuo Chen's meaning. As expected, in the material circulation of major shops in Kyoto, Wu Wang's hands and feet were found, and several large poisonous insects involved in the situation were also found.
These evidences were placed in front of Zhuo Chen, and he did not start immediately. Instead, he listened to the summons and went directly to the palace to see the emperor.
The emperor was talking to Concubine Shu at this time, and Zhuo Chen hurriedly came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister has recently checked the situation of the Kyoto tax treasury, and there has been some progress."
The emperor smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I am asking Concubine Shu about this, so you came to tell you that the time is very good."
Seeing that Concubine Zhuo Chen's eyes flickered a little, she still followed forcefully and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, King Xiliang is the fastest in handling affairs, it is better to let him simply investigate the situation thoroughly, so that everyone can have an explanation."
The emperor immediately felt good and happily handed over the matter to Zhuo Chen, but he didn't expect this to be in Zhuo Chen's arms.
"The emperor handed it over to me, and the minister will do his duty. However, if you use any improper methods, I hope that the emperor will forgive you. Zhuo Chen said with a smile.
"As long as no one lives, I will follow you." The emperor smiled.
Zhuo Chen immediately received the order and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion without touching the ground.
The prime minister immediately went out of the house to greet him, Zhuo Chen and him went to the side for a while, and the prime minister suddenly nodded with a solemn expression.
The next day, it was suddenly reported that a number of money shops in Kyoto had been seized, and many accounts of embezzlement and bribery were found.
One of the most shocking is the silver stream with the instructions of King Wu.
The Son of Heaven broke the law, and it was the emperor's Long Wei who was angered. A stack of high stacks of notices was sent to the emperor, and the emperor directly overturned the jade platform.
The holy decree was transmitted downward like a flower, and all the public officials who engaged in favoritism and malpractice were investigated and punished, and some were directly sentenced to death.
The matter is big, and Concubine Shu regrets that she has bitter words, and her intestines are green.
King Wu was miserable, he was not prepared at all, and suddenly there was such a thing, so that his political career, which had just improved a little, was directly strangled to death. But that's not the scariest of all.
Because the emperor's anger can't be just that.
A thunderbolt decree followed closely down to King Wu's mansion.
At this moment, the emperor was furious for nine days, and all the people felt the wrath from the Son of Heaven. King Wu was directly ordered to be grounded in the palace of King Wu, and was not allowed to leave the palace without permission. This order is tantamount to a reduction in office.
King Wu didn't even have time to shout before he was imprisoned in King Wu's mansion, and the outside of the mansion was closed by three layers inside and three layers outside, and flies couldn't fly in.
In Concubine Shu's palace, all the jade porcelain flowers were broken overnight, and the fragments in one place made those people frightened and secretly distressed.
Despite this, Concubine Shu's anger did not diminish in the slightest, but she couldn't attack in front of everyone openly, so she could only endure her mania fiercely.
