Chapter 423: Treat others the way they do
East Factory, how can it be East Factory? Hu Miao, what does he want to do? Could it be that even he has fallen to the seventh child? ”
The prince stood up and paced back and forth nervously.
Dongchang is a spy agency directly subordinate to the Son of Heaven, and their actions originally represent the will of Emperor Hongwei, and Dongchang's movement will inevitably be reminiscent of the emperor's attitude.
Moreover, even if the emperor's thoughts are not considered, Dongchang itself is also the minions of the eunuch group, under the constraints of Emperor Hongwei, the poisonous snake of the eunuch group seems to be hibernating, but no one dares to really push it too hard, so as not to be poisoned to death.
Therefore, as soon as the prince heard that it was Dongchang who did it, he immediately worried about the joints behind it.
Mr. Yuelu shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the prince, although Xu Rui didn't rush directly to Li Pengcheng's mansion to make a move, but he did it after all, as long as there is this, it is enough, and the initiative is still in our hands!" ”
Hearing this, the prince finally calmed down a little: "Yes, yes, Xu Rui has done it, we are ready, what should Mr. do now?" ”
Mr. Yue Lu said with a smile: "Naturally, he acted according to the plan, Xue Qing had already let out the wind in advance, and the contradiction between him and Xu Rui was well known, and the reputation of Dongchang was poor, so he could spread rumors that Xu Rui was in collusion with Dongchang and was a minion of the eunuchs."
Once this matter spreads, Xu Rui will inevitably arouse great disgust, and when the time comes, public opinion will be favorable to us, Xu Rui will not be able to escape a persecution of Zhongliang no matter what, and the prince will be able to let the officials play a role. ”
The prince nodded: "Come on, let Long Yushi come to see Lone!" ”
At this moment, another little eunuch rushed in, looking very anxious: "Oh no, prince, it's not good!" ”
The prince was shocked when he heard this, and slapped the eunuch in the face: "What are you calling?" It's so unruly on weekdays, what do you have to say to Lonely! ”
The little eunuch covered his face, kowtowed to the prince in a panic to apologize, and said, "Lord Prince, Lord Long has been arrested!" ”
"What?!"
The prince's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly asked, "Who did it?" Who did this to you? Is it the East Factory again? ”
The little eunuch shook his head and said, "It's not Dongchang, it's the ticket issued by the Criminal Department!" ”
When the prince heard this, he was furious, pointed at the little eunuch and said, "Didn't you let you keep an eye on the fourth child, why did you only know until now that the Criminal Department issued a ticket?" ”
The little eunuch said aggrievedly: "His Royal Highness King Yu has not been to the Criminal Department early this morning, nor has he seen the Champion Hou, and the ticket was sent by Lord Lu Shangshu of the Criminal Department. ”
Seeing that the prince was getting more and more anxious, Mr. Yue Lu hurriedly stood up and asked the little eunuch: "What reason did the Criminal Department use to arrest Lord Long?" ”
The little eunuch said: "It is said that when I was patrolling the place last year, I used the Jiangnan grain and rice case to extort local officials, and sold tea and rice from Chongyou Road, making illegal profits of millions of taels. ”
Hearing this, the prince's face suddenly turned pale and he sat down.
When Mr. Yue Lu saw him like this, he immediately understood that there must be something hidden in this, and asked, "Prince, what's going on?" ”
The prince said in despair: "Before, Gu wanted to build a garden in Nanshan, almost had money, and he was so worried that he couldn't eat, Long Qing said that he came to find a way, and then he really got a lot of money for Gu, counting the days, it happened to be that time." ”
Mr. Yue Lu's face changed: "So the arrest of people by the Criminal Department is not a frame, but something that is true?" ”
With a "snap", the prince grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Old Seven, it's Old Seven!" He had been searching for Gu's handle early in the morning, if it weren't for him, how could Xu Rui have dug up what happened more than a year ago so quickly? ”
Mr. Yue Lu said solemnly: "It is not surprising that King Liao made a move, but the key to this matter lies in the Criminal Department!" ”
The prince was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "You mean the Criminal Department, no, the fourth child has also joined forces with the seventh child?" ”
Mr. Yue Lu shook his head: "It's not enough to join forces with King Liao, but it is definitely true to help Xu Rui, and it is not negligent, I only think about His Royal Highness King Yu, but I forget that there is also this old fox surnamed Lu in the Criminal Department." ”
"What shall we do now, sir?"
The prince seemed to grasp the last straw, and grabbed Mr. Yuelu's wrist and asked.
Mr. Yue Lu patted the prince's hand and said: "The prince doesn't need to panic, even if there is no Dragon Imperial History, there are still many people under your command who can speak, but it is just a change of mouth, as long as you hold down Xu Rui and bite this matter into his revenge on you, after all, you are the prince of the East Palace, and Xu Rui will definitely not be able to please him!" ”
When the prince heard this, he made up his mind: "It's this truth, it's this truth, come here, go and invite Prince Bao...... No, prepare a sedan chair, and I want to go to see Prince Bao in person! ”
As soon as the words fell, the third little eunuch hurriedly walked in again.
Two bad news in a row, so that the prince's eyelids jumped when he saw the eunuch: "What's going on?" ”
The eunuch who passed the message this time learned wisely, and there was no panic on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Prince Qiyu, there are rumors that Xu Rui is lobbying the various shareholders of Baiye Commercial Bank to buy Baiye Commercial Bank!" ”
"What?!"
The prince sat on his face this time, and the Baiye Commercial Bank was Li Pengcheng's industry on the surface, but in fact it was the source of wealth for the entire Xungui group and himself.
The prince lives a luxurious life, spends a lot of money on weekdays, and does not have much place to make money, and his financial situation has always been stretched, so he has to do some illegal things in secret and make money on a large scale.
If the company loses all kinds of business firms, the problem of the prince's lack of financial resources will be even worse, and it will even be difficult to sustain in a short period of time, which may shake the foundation of the entire group.
The seriousness of this matter is no longer as simple as the fall of one or two officials, even the crown prince is shocked and shocked.
"Impossible, the shareholders of Baiye Commercial Bank are all nobles, even if Xu Rui has a big capital, how can he say that the nobles sold his shares to him?"
The prince muttered to himself in astonishment.
Mr. Yue Lu's face became more and more ugly.
"There is a way that may allow Xu Rui to accomplish this seemingly impossible thing......"
"What did you say?"
The prince asked incredulously.
Mr. Yue Lu said: "Xungui Group has always been the head of Prince Bao, and he is one of the major shareholders of Baiye Commercial Bank, if Prince Bao nods, then there is no reason for the nobles to refuse!" ”
"Huh?"
The prince's mouth suddenly grew and he couldn't say a word.
Although Xungui Group fully supports the prince, their leader is not the prince, but Prince Bao, and the real big boss behind the scenes of Baiye Commercial Bank is also him, if he is willing to sell his shares to Xu Rui, then Xu Rui is really likely to eat Baiye Commercial Bank.
But as the crown prince's biggest supporter, how could Prince Bao agree to sell Baiye Commercial Bank to Xu Rui?
Mr. Yue Lu pondered for a moment, grabbed the prince's wrist and asked, "Prince, you honestly said that you sent someone to visit Xu Rui and the three of you in front of the saint yesterday, did you have a confession with Prince Bao beforehand?" ”
When the prince heard this, there was a hint of dodging in his eyes, and his mouth was also rambling.
Seeing this, Mr. Yuelu's heart sank: "Prince, this matter is very important, I hope you don't hide it." ”
The crown prince looked at Mr. Yue Lu, and finally sighed and said: "In the matter of Xu Rui, Prince Bao has always advocated not to worry, and to see the direction of the wind first, so he did not discuss it with him beforehand.
But somehow, this matter was still known to him in advance, the night before yesterday he came to the East Palace, let Gu let Xu Rui go, originally Gu also planned to wait and see, but his father asked about the release of officials in front of the civil and military officials, in order to divert attention, he had to signal Qin Zhiqiang to impeach, which was against the will of Prince Bao. ”
"No wonder...... The crown prince has fallen into the trap of the saint......"
Mr. Yuelu let go of the prince and sat down dejectedly.
When the prince saw this, he immediately panicked in his heart: "Sir, this matter is just a trivial matter, why are you so shocked?" ”
"A trifle?"
Mr. Yue Lu smiled bitterly and said: "Prince, this matter is related to the overall deployment of the Xungui Group, originally I wondered, why only Qin Zhijian spoke out yesterday to impeach, and I thought that the prince saw that the wind was not in the right direction and deliberately reduced the loss, but now it seems that you have not won the support of the entire Xungui Group." ”
"But they can't just sell Baiye Firms because of this?"
The prince was puzzled.
Mr. Yuelu frowned: "I also wonder, what kind of bargaining chips did Xu Rui come up with, and even the big Buddha of Prince Bao could be leveraged by him?" ”
"Sir, it's too late to think about this now, you just tell Lone, what should we do now?"
The prince asked impatiently.
Mr. Yuelu sighed: "Hey, there is no way anymore, first Dongchang, then the Criminal Department and King Liao, and finally even the Xungui Group is on his side."
Who would have thought that a little Xu Rui would not only be able to resist the urge to come out, but also be able to mobilize so many irrelevant and even hostile forces in such a short period of time?
Prince, let's rectify Xu Rui, that is, to create a situation of beating the water dogs, because it is human nature to fall into the well, and only when the wall is about to fall, can everyone push it.
At the moment, Xu Rui thinks the same as us, but he is too fast and ruthless, but he makes that water dog become us, not only do we have no way to take Xu Rui now, but there will soon be countless people to deal with the prince, and it is imperative to prepare early. ”
"What, how can it be ...... like this"
The prince's face turned pale in an instant.
