Chapter 226 The prince wants to rebel!

······

The atmosphere above the court was extremely solemn.

Qin Zheng's face was gloomy and scary.

He now had a strong healing killing intent exuding from his whole body.

Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng both knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling.

This time, they knew something was wrong.

They were just afraid of the end.

It's just that why it became like this all of a sudden, they are puzzled and confused.

Was all this designed by someone?

Otherwise, it's too much of a coincidence!

Zhao Kang was also brought into the government and palace, as well as the people who complained.

Qin Zheng didn't listen to what these people said, but he was angry and wanted to lift the table in front of him.

However, he endured.

For Zhao Kang and the people who complained, Qin Zheng questioned them one by one.

At this moment, Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng, who were still wronged just now, had nothing to say.

King Ling's face showed joy.

The crown prince Qin Yuanzhao's face was extremely bad, and at this time, he no longer dared to intercede for Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng.

They're done.

Moreover, if you are not careful, you will even be affected by yourself.

At this time, when Qin Zheng's gaze seemed to be inadvertently swept over Qin Yuanzhao's body, Qin Yuanzhao's heart was beating.

He was terrified.

Those eyes, looking at why they were so terrifying at the moment, seemed to be devouring people.

Qin Yuanzhao was completely panicked in his heart, he had never been so afraid.

"You really impress me, dignified court officials, don't think about contributing to the dynasty, they are actually corrupt and pervert the law, no matter what, this time, I will check you carefully. ”

Qin Zheng finally spoke, and he seemed to have made a great determination.

"Xu Guanzheng, you are involved in Zhu Yu's matter, but is it a fact?"

He asked suddenly, startling Zhu Yu.

I don't think I can run away.

"What the minister said is true, and there is no falsehood. ”

Xu Guanzheng knew that he was finished, but he must bring down Zhu Yu, which can be regarded as pulling a funeral companion.

"Okay, you guys are dog-eat-dog, good. ”

Qin Zheng is angry, and all of a sudden, these court officials are going to check it, and they are really going to shake the court, and even shake the country.

However, Qin Zheng would never allow this to happen.

"After passing the decree, Zhao Chuan, the secretary of the household department, and Xu Guanzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, were dismissed from their posts and investigated, and Zhu Yu, the secretary of the criminal department, was temporarily detained, and a decision will be made after the case is clarified. ”

Qin Zheng spoke loudly, his voice revealing a deep coldness.

"The matter will be handed over to the Supervision Yuan, and the former Supervision Yuan will be immediately reinstated as the former Imperial Shi Yan Duo, who will be in charge of the matter.

As for the King of Qin... I'll talk about it when it's over. ”

Everyone knew that what Qin Zheng wanted to say was to reward the King of Qin.

Still, in this case, who cares about that.

······

Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng were both imprisoned in prison.

Zhu Yu was imprisoned in Dali Temple because the case was not really investigated.

And Yan Duo came out of it and returned to his official position.

It can also be seen that Qin Zheng is terrible.

In such an angry situation, this situation can still be used to take the opportunity to send Yan Duo out, and at this time, no one will dare to oppose it again.

As for Wang Hun, I'm afraid that he won't be able to come out for a while.

······

Dali Temple cell.

King Ling saw Zhu Yu.

"King Ling, the minister has disappointed you, I'm afraid that this time, the minister is finished. ”

The matter of Xu Guanzheng's participation is naturally true.

Therefore, Zhu Yu knew that with Yan Duo's ability, he would definitely be able to find out.

Moreover, as Yan Duo, who was loyal to Qin Zheng, he would definitely not show any mercy to his subordinates.

He will put himself to death according to the law.

I have no way to live.

"Lord Zhu, this king also wants to save you, but now you should know the situation, this king can't reach the whip, my father has already moved the real fire, this time, you have no way to live, of course, Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng are also finished. ”

King Ling said helplessly.

Another one of his subordinates fell, and he was very distressed.

But fortunately, two of the prince's subordinates will fall, plus the Wu Lou who fell before, and the three major officials under the prince are all finished.

And in his hands, at least there is Ren Tai, the secretary of the military department.

No matter what time you have military power, it is the last guarantee.

This is also Ling Wang's hole card.

······

In the prison.

The crown prince met Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng.

Qin Yuanzhao was the crown prince after all, and took the two to a clean cell.

"Prince, this time, Lord Xu and I are already over, and the monarch will not let us go. ”

Zhao Chuan said.

Xu Guanzheng said: "Yes, this time the monarch has moved the real fire, and we will definitely not be better." It's just that all this happened so unexpectedly that there was no defense. ”

"Do you think it's a coincidence, is it an accident? How does Prince Ben feel that someone is deliberately designing it? If nothing happened, Prince Ben would not have noticed it, and now that I think about it, all this was planned. ”

Qin Yuanzhao's face was cold.

Zhao Chuan said: "The minister also thinks like this, the things before and after are linked, and this is clearly a bureau."

First, the Chen Dynasty checked the accounts, but we stopped them, but then, Concubine Qin and the King of Qin returned to their hometown to visit relatives, and at this time, King Ling was assassinated again, and the city gates were strictly inspected.

What is the purpose of his this, that is, to prevent our people from going into the city to report the news.

It is to cooperate with King Qin.

It's just that what the minister can't understand is, how could King Ling join forces with King Qin?"

Qin Yuanzhao snorted lightly and said, "Join forces, no, Qin Yuanheng's elm pimple will definitely not join forces with King Ling." This prince said something self-deprecating, Qin Yuanheng was very proud in his heart, he didn't take me and King Ling in his eyes at all, and disdained to be with us.

Therefore, Prince Ben thought that Qin Yuanheng must have been used by King Ling.

King Ling and I both know Qin Yuanheng, once he encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely take care of it, and he will take care of it to the end.

It's just that King Ling was able to do this to this extent, which made Prince Ben extremely surprised.

But ......"

"But what?"

Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng were surprised.

Qin Yuanzhao said: "All this, if the prince guesses well, it must be the Chen Dynasty plotting for him." ”

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Yuanzhao felt that the Chen Dynasty was both terrifying and hateful.

Even he regretted a little in his heart, why did he move the business.

If there was no such thing as Shang Qianxue, would he be able to win over Chen Chao like King Ling.

Now that Chen Chao is helping King Ling in turn, he knows that it is not that King Ling is so great, but that it is precisely because he hurt Shang Qianxue.

That's the woman Chen Chao loves.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

At that time, he didn't know the relationship between Shang Qianxue and Chen Chao, and even if he knew, he would not give up his thoughts at that time.

After all, he had never taken Chen Chao seriously before.

It's just a little son-in-law.

"Prince, I am finished with Lord Xu, for the sake of the prince, it is not a pity for the two of us to die, but please ask the prince to save our family as much as possible, and the minister will kowtow to you. ”

Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng both knelt down.

Qin Yuanzhao snorted coldly: "Do you think you can save your family for the sins of the two of you? Do you think this prince has that ability now?"

"It's... Please calm the prince's anger, it is the ministers who have said it. ”

Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng couldn't help but sigh, yes, once all the crimes of the two of them are found out, no one's family will be spared.

"No, you're not asking too much. It is true that there is no way for this prince to protect your family now, but if he makes another choice, what is the difficulty of protecting your family, or even protecting you. ”

Qin Yuanzhao raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing a cold meaning.

"What does the prince want to do?" Xu Guanzheng was surprised.

Zhao Chuan was shocked and said, "Prince, do you want to rebel?"

He suddenly stopped talking and didn't dare to say more.

"That's right, this prince is going to rebel, what can you do if you don't rebel in this situation, are you two confused? Even if you bear all the charges, where is the silver you are greedy for? Even if there is no cash, there must be a physical object, but there is no at all.

Prince Ben knows that the two of you are really greedy, but it doesn't match what you handed over to me at all.

Are you fools to be kings?

Do you eat dry rice when Yan Duo?

They will surely discover our secrets, and then, if they do nothing, this prince will have to die.

And once the matter is revealed, the prince will be scolded by the world, don't forget, he was killed by the prince. ”

When Qin Yuanzhao thought of that kind of ending, he was terribly afraid.

In this case, he had to go crazy and take a risk.

Yes, he can only do the opposite.

"Has the prince really made up his mind?"

Zhao Chuan asked.

He has already moved, no matter what, he is going to die, but there is still a chance to live.

Qin Yuanzhao said: "This prince has been making this decision, and has been waiting for the right opportunity, but now the really suitable opportunity can't wait, so you can only fight." ”

······

Prince's Mansion.

"Do you really want to rebel?"

A woman in a snow-white dress asked aloud, her face covered with a white veil, and her face was so difficult to see her face.

"There is no way to live, once Zhao Chuan's charges are clear, the taxes and silver in the past three years are completely incorrect, and the father will definitely be suspicious, and then the prince will do it again, then it will be passive. ”

Qin Yuanzhao calmed down at this time.

Now I have to fight, although I am afraid, but I really make a decision, it will be easier.

"Since you have decided to rebel, I will naturally help you. ”

The woman in the white dress said lightly.

Qin Yuanzhao said: "Send me a group of masters of the rivers and lakes, some of them will listen to my orders, and some of you will be responsible for assassinating King Ling and his officials."

Of course, the most important thing is to deal with the soldiers defending the city, otherwise it will be difficult for the army to storm in. ”

"Yes. ”

······

Chen Chao was very strange as to why he was declared an official.

In recent days, he knows what has happened.

But what does it have to do with me, at least, on the surface, it's okay with me.

Could it be that Qin Zheng discovered something and knew that it was planned by himself, so he wanted to ask himself for the crime.

There is a possibility.

Although he didn't harm anyone, he made the court restless, and when it came to sin, he was even more hateful.

At least, Qin Zheng would definitely hate him like this.

······

The Imperial Study.

Chen Chao lowered his head, looking like a good baby, and lowered his head not to look at Qin Zheng who was standing in front of him.

Only his eyes followed Qin Zheng's feet moving back and forth.

Qin Zheng didn't know how long he had been walking back and forth, but he finally spoke.

He said, "Chen Chao, do you know why I announced you to the palace?"

"The grass people think that the monarch must miss the grass people, so he announced that the grass people entered the palace. ”

Chen Chao hurriedly said.

Qin Zheng sneered softly and said, "You really think about it, but there is nothing wrong with saying this."

However, I am not thinking about your people, but about your opinions on some things.

Chen Chao, I want to go out of the palace to inspect various places, are you willing to accompany me there?"

"Out of the palace to inspect?"

Chen Chao was taken aback.

"Yes, this time Zhao Chuan used his power to collect more taxes and silver, it must be a trouble, the people of the state capital are unstable, I want to go over to appease the people and inspect their farming situation.

As you said, put the people first, and I want the people of the Ming Dynasty to live a prosperous life.

I haven't been in a hurry to do it, but this time it really hurts my heart, and I know that if I don't do it, I will want to make up for it in the future, I'm afraid it will be too late. ”

Qin Zheng sighed slightly.

Chen Chaodao: "It is a good thing to be people-oriented and care about people's livelihood. ”

"Good. ”

Qin Zheng smiled slightly.

"Monarch, Yan Duo Yan Yushi asks to see. ”

Zhao Fulai reported.

"Let him in. ”

After Qin Zheng gave the order, Zhao Fu retreated, and after a while, Yan Duo walked in.

It can be seen that he seems to be full of worries and a little worried.

"Say something, don't be formal. ”

Without waiting for Yan Duo to give a salute, Qin Zheng just spoke, he knew that Yan Duo must have something important to do.

"The monarch of the country, the minister ......"

Yan Duo looked at Chen Chao.

Chen Chao realized that he was redundant at this time.

"Tell him, it's okay for him to hear it. ”

Qin Zheng opened his mouth, Yan Duo hesitated slightly, and then said: "Yu Guojun, the minister has been investigating the evidence of Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng's crimes in recent days.

Although it was not completely verified, in the process of verification, a strange thing was discovered.

Although the amount of overtax and silver they collect every year has not yet been fully counted, there are at least more than 10 million taels, but the evidence of corruption obtained from Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng is that it is found that neither the cash nor some property that has been found can be matched with the silver they embezzled.

It's a strange thing.

I don't know where the extra money went?"

"What about their respective hometowns?" Qin Zheng began.

Yan Duo said: "The minister hasn't sent anyone to investigate, but from Zhao Kang, the minister asked, although Zhao Chuan has a few mansions in Yingzhou, it is far from the silver he is greedy for." ”

Qin Zheng's brows furrowed.

The same is true of the Chen Dynasty.

Where did the vanished silver go?

I bought food, so there is no physical object, but how is it possible, even the foodies of the Great Heavenly Empire can't eat these silver things.

That's not going to be a pig!

Besides, there must be an account book.

"Don't have a book?"

Qin Zheng asked.

"The whole house was searched, but I didn't find it, and the minister interrogated Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng, but they just didn't say anything. Yan Duo showed a trace of helplessness.

"Have you been tortured?" Qin Zheng asked.

Yan Duo said: "I'm afraid that the punishment of people like them will not have much effect. ”

"Where did you think the money went?

Qin Zheng asked.

Yan Duo said: "The disappeared silver is small, after all, there is no more, but the whereabouts of the disappeared silver must be investigated, otherwise it is really strange that such a large amount of silver will disappear, and the minister is even a little faintly uneasy." ”

"What do you want to say?"

Qin Zheng heard that Yan Duo had something to say.

Yan Duo said: "If you take out 10 million taels every year for the past three years, it is enough to raise 30,000 elite troops. ”

"You said that Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng have an army under them?"

Qin Zheng was taken aback.

"The minister is just suspicious, but it's impossible to think about it, even if they raise some troops, what's the use, even 100,200,000, it's useless, it's impossible to rebel.

But other than that, the silver that disappeared really can't think of going out. ”

Yan Duo frowned and said.

Qin Zhengdao: "This matter, you continue to investigate, no matter what you find, you will investigate it to the end." ”

"I understand. ”

Yan Duo retreated.

"Chen Chao, you have always had a lot of ghost thoughts, tell me, where did this silver go?"

Qin Zheng asked Chen Chao.

Chen Chao snorted lightly, his voice was very small, and he said in his heart: Are you Qin Zheng praising me or scolding me?

However, there was nothing to say, he said: "It is indeed impossible for Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng to use this silver to support the army, it has no effect.

Unless it is enough to raise an army to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, tens of millions of taels of silver are not enough to feed so many troops.

So, I don't know where the money went. ”

“......”

Qin Zheng almost couldn't help but kick Chen Chao, and after talking for a long time, you didn't say anything.

Seeing that Qin Zheng was a little displeased, Chen Chao opened his mouth and asked, "Monarch, when do you want to leave?" Do the crown prince and King Ling know who the monarch is going to leave behind to sit in the Ming capital?"

Qin Zheng said: "I am going to let King Ling stay in the Ming Capital, and let the prince accompany him to go with him, and also let him, the future prince, understand the people's livelihood, so as not to become a faint monarch in the future." ”
