Chapter 188 Murong Yi takes action
All the ministers stretched their necks to see what was on the memorial and why Grand Tutor Jun also had such a terrified expression.
Only by looking at the flicker in the prince's eyes could he tell what was on the memorial.
Qin Zhengan was his man, so he naturally knew what he had done.
But who was it that took away his concubine yesterday and is now doing it today? Who is so impatient?
He glanced fiercely at the ministers in the court, and when he saw Murong Yi, who looked like he was enjoying the show, he instantly understood.
Murong Yi let him know on purpose to warn him not to be so rampant. He could use this method to clean up his people at any time, break his wings, cut off his tail, and even cut off his head.
So what if he has the emperor backing him up? He will have nothing then, just like the current emperor, a commander without troops. What can anyone use to fight him?
At the same time, it is also a warning to those ministers who do not take him seriously. Do they think he has no chance if he is just changing his stance according to the situation?
The more he reveals about the crown prince, the more the emperor will fear him, and the more he will favor him. Maybe one day he will kill the crown prince.
Sure enough, the prince was furious, but he couldn't lose his temper on the spot. If he did, it would be obvious that this was his man.
I just hope that Qin Zhengan is smarter and can take on everything himself, and that he can preserve some bloodline for him, otherwise his bloodline will be ruined.
Do people think he is a fool? As long as they are his people, he has their lives in his hands.
A person's lifeline is nothing more than his own blood. Money is something outside of the body. It is useless if a person has no money.
Therefore, anyone who surrendered to him would take the initiative to send his most promising son to the prince to serve him.
This trick is really useful, it can effectively restrain those powerful people. There is no such thing as free wealth in this world, if you want it, you have to pay with your life.
The prince rolled his eyes at Murong Yi, thinking that he could overthrow his position as the crown prince in this way. He was just dreaming.
How could Murong Yi not know what he meant? He just curled his lips. This was just an appetizer. There was more to come. Let's wait and see. The real show has just begun.
What they didn't know was that the emperor's sharp eyes had long noticed the witty banter between the two of them, and when he saw that scene, he instantly understood.
The emperor pursed his lips and looked at the prince angrily. The prince was becoming more and more arrogant, and he seemed ready to replace him immediately.
Yesterday he went to the Prince's Mansion, originally to give face to Tutor Jun. Tutor Jun had always been his imperial teacher, and he was selfless and dedicated to him. However, Tutor Jun had no capable sons, and all of them were mediocre and unable to be of great use. In order to keep the Jun family rich and prosperous and prevent it from declining when he was gone, he had to ask Jun for help, but he would not agree no matter what he said.
He also understood Master Jun's feelings. There was nothing wrong with it. It was human nature. No one in a prosperous family wanted to see it decline.
He did not ask for a principal wife, but a concubine, which was what he wanted.
Unexpectedly, I inadvertently boosted the prince's arrogance.
The ministers saw him go to the prince's mansion and drink a cup of tea. This was good. The ministers who were not optimistic about the prince actually turned to him, making the prince's power even greater.
The secret guard came back to report, and he was furious. He was racking his brains to try to reduce the power of the prince, but he didn't expect to have such a surprising result when he went to court today.
Lao Wu is simply a great assist, but how did he find out these things?
Even his secret guards could not find any evidence that Qin Zhengan was greedy for money.
It can be seen that Lao Wu’s power should not be underestimated.
All his sons are good people. He hasn't died yet, but they are all so impatient.
The emperor felt mixed emotions. Imperial power was a good thing. He had started planning for it when he was very young, and fought his way out from the other princes to finally sit on the position that everyone dreamed of.
But when he looked back, he found that his brothers and sisters were all dead or gone, and he was the only one left.
Now the sons are just repeating the path of competing for the throne.
It's just that the emperor was very angry. He was angry because the ministers in the court bullied men and women, seized the people's fertile land and other such things. There was no civil or military official in the court who had not done such things.
He could tolerate these things, but what he could not tolerate was the embezzlement of his silver. Qin Zhengan had served in the Ministry of Revenue for ten years, and the total amount of silver he embezzled was tens of millions of taels, and so much of it went to the prince.
The emperor looked at the prince. He knew that the prince had been planning for a long time. What did he do with so much silver?
And this is just one official. Among the many civil and military officials in the court, at least half of them are his people. The emperor dared not imagine what the prince did with the huge amount of money he embezzled.
Is he raising a private army?
But his secret guards had been keeping an eye on the Prince's Mansion and didn't notice any of this at all.
The emperor glanced at the crown prince and Murong Yi. These two sons really made him look at them with new eyes. They actually had such extraordinary means and grew up to be such terrifying people under his nose.
Since they are both so strong, let them fight each other and see what secrets they have that he doesn't know.
Even if these two sons die in the fight, we still have the second and fourth sons.
Two days ago, I received news from the secret guard that the second brother was indeed not dead, and was going to attack and kill the fourth brother on the first day of the new year.
This also shows that what the fifth brother said about the collusion between the second and fourth brothers was nonsense. It was an excuse he made to evade the fact that his trip to Northwest County was fruitless.
His intention was obvious, he just wanted to divert his attention and let him deal with the second and fourth brothers.
The second and fourth brothers died, leaving only him and the prince.
This old man is really cunning. He can easily kill two birds with one stone.
After Tutor Jun finished reading it, the emperor pointed to the ministers in the hall to have a look as well.
The ministers read it one by one. After reading it, they were terrified. They finally understood that this was a contest between the prince and Prince Yi.
The prince's men were beating drums and gongs in their hearts. They all knew that Qin Zhengan was the prince's man, so they...
What they did was no less than what Qin Zhengan did, and it could be said that they almost emptied the emperor's Xifeng Kingdom.
If these are also discovered, the consequences...
Everyone lowered their heads and thought to themselves that they would go to the prince after the court session to discuss how to get through this disaster.
They don't want to fail before the prince succeeds and then be the first to perish.
Then it would be meaningless for them to surrender to the prince, as they would just become a tool for him to make money.
Thinking of this, some ministers couldn't help but think terrified. Could it be that the prince's real intention was to use them as a tool to make money?
When the ministers thought of this in such a cold day, they couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on their bodies and foreheads.
