The day after the army set out for the expedition, a grain and grass hall colluded with "profiteers" to sell military rations as shoddy, and submitted the case of Emperor Hui.

The excerpt was first presented to the prince, and after the prince saw it, he was immediately furious, and immediately took the excerpt into the palace and presented the excerpt to Emperor Hui himself.

When Emperor Hui saw the fold sent by the prince, he was immediately furious and threw the fold out by mistake.

At that time, in the imperial study, there were only the crown prince and the eunuch Chang Gonggong, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Hui.

Seeing that Emperor Hui was furious, Chang Gonggong was about to squat down to pick it up, but was stopped by the prince reaching out.

The crown prince stopped Chang Gonggong, and he personally bent down, picked up the fold, and put it back on Emperor Hui's imperial case.

"Father's anger, take care of the dragon's body." The prince persuaded earnestly.

When Emperor Hui heard the prince's persuasion, his anger gradually stopped, but he was still angry.

He easily made up his mind and let Lu Zheng lead the troops to the battle, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to do anything about the grain and grass.

Before setting out for the battle, didn't the military department report that the grain and grass were all ready, and there was no problem?

So what's going on now?

He didn't want to fight, but since he decided to fight, he naturally wanted to win!

When marching and fighting, food and grass are the top priority, and these people dare to engage in such small actions under his nose!

I'm really impatient!

"This Zou Sheng, what a big dog, dare to collude with businessmen and try to resell military rations, such a chaotic minister and thief, he should be punished!" Emperor Hui said hatefully.

The prince knew the inside story, and when he heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his head and said: "The son has a foolish opinion, and he also asks his father to be generous." ”

"You say." When Emperor Hui heard the prince's words, he did not hesitate, frowning and telling the prince to speak quickly.

"Yes, father," the crown prince replied, "Erchen thinks that this matter should not be as simple as it seems on the surface, Zou Sheng is the grain and grass escort officer this time, but no matter how bold he is, he should not dare to collude with businessmen to resell military rations, his father is wise and martial, this kind of thing, even if General Lu does not find out, he can't hide it from his father's eyes, Zou Sheng, an official from the sixth grade, where is so bold to dare to do such a thing?" ”

"What does the prince mean is that someone supports Zou Sheng, so he dares to do such a thing?" Emperor Hui heard the meaning of the prince's words.

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Erchen is just daring to speculate, my father is Shengming, and I believe that I have my own decision. ”

Emperor Hui pondered for a while and nodded, "I thought about it, what the prince said is indeed reasonable, Zou Sheng is just a small grain and grass official, no matter how bold he is, he doesn't dare to mix so much rice bran bran into the military rations, and then resell the military rations. ”

He doesn't like to fight, but it doesn't mean that he can tolerate someone doing things that violate the law and discipline under his nose.

Some things can be tolerated, and some things cannot be tolerated.

As a monarch, they all want supreme power and the ability to control everything, even if Emperor Hui pursues moderation, he still has the domineering of being a monarch in his bones.

Therefore, he can delegate power to his subordinates, but he will not want to see it, and the subordinates hide it from him.

Lu Zheng led the troops to the battle, which was hand-picked by him, and Zou Sheng resold the military rations, that was slapping him in the face!

The emperor's face, is it so easy to beat?

You've got enough heads to chop off!

"Zou Sheng must die!" Emperor Hui hated the authentic.

Zou Sheng is immortal, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

A petty official of the sixth grade dares to do such a big thing that loses his head!

Where will he be the king of the kingdom?

"Father Emperor Shengming, Zou Sheng really deserves to die, but Erchen thinks that it is not a pity for him to die, but the people behind him ......" Although the prince knew who was involved behind Zou Sheng, he couldn't say it.

If these words are spoken, they will inevitably attract the suspicion of the emperor.

However, the crown prince did not want to let go of this opportunity.

Who is the person behind King Dejun, they all know that even if King Dejun and Zou Sheng do this time have nothing to do with Wang Depu, they must be inseparable from Wang Changping.

Wang Changping is more than greedy and lacks scheming, but he can't compare with his father.

Wang Depu is cunning and cunning, if he makes a move, he will definitely not be able to do such an obvious thing.

What he didn't understand was why King Dejun wanted to get involved this time?

Isn't King Dejun such an impulsive, greedy person for small profits?

Emperor Hui listened to the prince's words and was also a little hesitant.

According to what the prince said, behind Zou Sheng, there must be other courtiers involved, and it is estimated that the identity should not be low.

This courtier, who is not low in status, is not old or young, and it seems that it is not so easy for any of them to move.

When Emperor Hui thought of this, he was a little worried.

When he is ordinary, he is fine, but when something happens, he is often a little hesitant.

can be a monarch, the most taboo indecisive.

Emperor Hui can't change this problem.

Therefore, over the years, the prince has always been far and near, sometimes trusting, and sometimes can't help but doubt.

Because of this, the prince did not dare to make much move.

Even when he walked around with the courtiers, he didn't dare to be too intimate.

I'm afraid that Emperor Hui will suspect that he has some intentions.

So this time, although the prince knew the details, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only carefully lead Emperor Hui and think deeply.

However, if Emperor Hui made up his mind and didn't want to investigate deeply, they could only stop there.

After all, they didn't have any important evidence in their hands, and they could directly point to the king of Zhengde and his party, which had something to do with the resale of military rations.

All they knew was a few words that Wen Tao had taken out of Xiao Liang's mouth.

Emperor Hui hesitated for a long time before he said: "This march and war, grain and grass are the top priority, if you waste time at this time to investigate deeply, it will delay Lu Zheng and their march, according to my opinion, it is better to solve the problem of grain and grass first, and then talk about the rest, as for Zou Sheng... Must die! The prince thinks that it is good for me to arrange it like this? ”

"The father is wise in his decision, and the son is impressed." The crown prince replied.

The emperor has said so, what else can he say except to agree?

He hasn't reached the point where he can compete with the emperor yet.

If you can't, you can only keep your eyes on it.

Emperor Hui was also very satisfied with his decision when he saw that the prince should reconcile his decision, and nodded with a smile.

After that, Emperor Hui ordered someone to draw up a holy decree, Zou Sheng escorted him back to Beijing, beheaded him on a certain day, and then ordered Lu Zheng to count the food and grass of the army and supply them according to the situation.

This errand was directly handed over to the prince to arrange for someone to do.

This is appeasement in disguise, the prince understands.

Because Emperor Hui did not agree with his advice, he used a little benefit to appease him.

This is a common means used to control the monarch, and the prince knows it very well.

He didn't have much turmoil in his heart, he just bowed his head respectfully, and then took the order and went out to run errands.
