Chapter 40: The Wind Rises
Jing Yuzhao knelt in the imperial study, not daring to move. Wang Yuan also stood far away. His Majesty's face was too ugly, and he didn't know what the three princesses had presented.
The emperor turned the evidence in his hand page by page, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. The palace of the king of Chu will give the prince 100,000 taels of silver every month. With such a large amount, what does the prince want to do? And the prince of Chu. So much business is not done, but it is private official silver, which is silver, silver with white flowers. Encroaching on fertile land, accepting bribes, and cutting corners can all be forgiven, but privately creating official money is a capital crime.
"Yes, yes. It was I who gave you glory and wealth, but you treated me like this, which is really good. ”
Jing Yuzhao raised his eyes and glanced at it, and found that the emperor's green tendons had burst out, which showed that he was really angry.
The emperor looked at Jing Yuzhao, who was kneeling below, "How do you think these should be revealed to the world?" ”
Jing Yuzhao blurted out, "Jiang Shoufu." ”
"Hehehe," the Emperor smiled, "you dare to say anything, but it's good, with my heart." ”
Jing Yuzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this time it went so smoothly thanks to the dark night. Sure enough, if you kill a person, you will find his rival.
"The Blood Guard did a great job this time, what reward do you want?"
"Your Majesty, my son wants silver taels. This time, thanks to the brothers of the blood guard, I want to treat them and let them know that the emperor's grace is mighty, and His Majesty also remembers them. ”
Wang Yuan sighed that the third princess would pat himself on the back, seeing that the emperor was happy, his dark face just now had been soothed a lot.
"Okay, I'll give you 10,000 taels first, and then I'll leave you some good things when the Chu Wangfu is copied."
"Thank you, Father." Jing Yuzhao is very happy, real money, the best.
Jiang Shoufu was recruited into the palace in the middle of the night, and thinking about what he had done recently along the way, there seemed to be nothing to show off. Entering the imperial study, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and Wang Yuan lowered his head and remained motionless.
"The old minister has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."
Hmph, this old fellow, his eyes are rolling, and he doesn't know what he's thinking. "I came to you today so that you can play in the court tomorrow."
Wang Yuan held a stack of papers and handed it to Jiang Shoufu. Jiang Shoufu's heart was beating a drum, and his old face was unnaturally stiff. Holding it open, the more I look at it, the redder my face becomes, which is exciting. What Lord Feng said that day was really true, but I didn't expect His Majesty to check it in such detail.
Suddenly thought of something, Jiang Shoufu was shocked and sweated, this is what the emperor checked, secretly checked, so who are these people? Is it that he is also under the surveillance of His Majesty?
Seeing half of it, Jiang Shoufu knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this matter is important, is it ......?"
"Shut up," he said as soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor knew what he was going to say, and he was talking nonsense, "go back and write the chapter, as for these, you gave them to me tonight." ”
Jiang Shoufu came out of the imperial study, but on this summer night, he felt cold. The Chu Wangfu is coming to an end, and he should be very happy. The prince of Chu and the prince united, and they did so many things behind their backs, which can be regarded as a heavy blow to the prince. But there is a feeling of cold lips and teeth. When I went back, I had to warn King Wei that he should be careful in his work, and he could not touch the emperor's taboos.
Today's court is destined to be extraordinary. Jiang Shoufu's bomb made the entire Tianqing shake. King Wei was also confused, and his grandfather didn't tell him in advance. The prince of Chu knelt on top of the court and didn't say a word.
The prince silently thought in his heart, don't get involved with himself. This time it was so sudden, I didn't even have the slightest mental preparation.
The emperor looked at the prince of Chu condescendingly, "Dali Temple is fully responsible for this matter, and it will be investigated within three days." ”
The new Dali Siqing led the decree with two legs.
Gu Hou Mansion.
"No, it can't be, it's not true." Lord Taihe is crazy and generally smashes things. It won't be like this, my father is not that kind of person, someone wants to harm him, yes, it's the King of Wei, it's the King of Wei.
The county lord of Taihe pulled Gu Heng's sleeve, "Master Hou, please your uncle and father, please save him." Back then, you and Your Majesty were born and died, and the friendship was not comparable to ordinary people, please save your father! Taihe burst into tears and was hoarse.
"Your Majesty is the king, I am the minister, even if the relationship is good, we must divide the monarch and the minister. I'll ask about my father-in-law, so you can stay at home. Gu Heng motioned for someone to pull Taihe away.
"Gu Heng, you just want to lock me up, you wolf-hearted guy. I did so much for you back then, don't you have a little conscience? The county lord of Taihe pushed away the little guy beside him and rushed towards Gu Heng.
Gu Heng motioned to his subordinates. His subordinates dragged the lord of Taihe into the inner courtyard. The prince of Chu had some contact with the prince Gu Heng knew about it, but he didn't expect the prince of Chu to be so bold and dare to make official silver privately. Everything else is trivial, just ask for mercy and appease the victim. This time, I'm afraid it's hard to get out.
Dali Temple actually has nothing to check occasionally. The evidence submitted by Jiang Shoufu is comprehensive. The place where the silver was made was also seized, and the evidence was conclusive.
In the prison of Dali Temple, Jing Sui, the prince of Chu, sat in the corner in prison clothes. Footsteps approached, and a bright yellow suit appeared in front of the cell.
"When you came, I knew you were coming." The prince of Chu looked at the emperor in front of him, he was old, and he was also old.
"What are you doing with so much official silver?"
Why? Jing Sui also wanted to know why. It's really not necessary to think about it now, but I just did it at the time.
"Money tastes really good, it buys everything. Your Majesty is rich all over the world, but you can't get anything. ”
"Joke, the whole world is mine, what do I can't get."
Prince Chu looked at the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty hasn't been to Ganye Temple for a long time, and she is also old." ”
"Shut up," the emperor furious.
Ganye Temple was the place where the royal concubines were imprisoned. When the emperor died, most of the childless concubines would go there to become monks. There are also those concubines who commit crimes, and they will also be locked up in Ganye Temple.
"I wonder what Your Majesty will do with me?"
The emperor wants to laugh, but at this point, isn't he clear? "Of course, it's a raid."
The prince of Chu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to change the ground, "I hope that Your Majesty can show mercy to his subordinates when he looks at the friendship of the year, and also give the minister a face." ”
"Then it's up to you to do it." The Emperor walked away.
The next day, news came out in the prison that the prince of Chu had committed suicide. The emperor ordered the palace of the king of Chu to be raided, and the whole family was beheaded except for the married daughter and children under the age of five.
At this time, everyone was surprised, thinking that it would be all over the place. I didn't expect my subordinates to show mercy. The lord of Taihe County cried into tears and cheered up again. There is also a root, and he has to support his younger brother, although he is a younger brother.
