Chapter 331 Helian Hengxin was furious
[Guo Ping said that he had no involvement in this matter, and that the coin-minting business had always been personally controlled by Prime Minister Cui.]
[At that time, Prime Minister Cui was the one who supported the Third Prince to ascend to the throne. If it wasn't for profit, how could he personally handle such a small matter? ]
[When I was reading the story, I was still thinking that this third prince was really absurd. He actually treated the throne as a plaything and allowed such a big thing as forging counterfeit coins to happen.]
"Father!"
Lu Xingwan suddenly spoke, which scared Jiang Pingyue who was kneeling on the ground.
[No, if I tell Prime Minister Cui or the Third Prince, Father will think that I am framing them for the Crown Prince, right?]
[Forget it, let Father investigate it himself, or I will quietly guide him later and let him find the clues.]
The Emperor of Great Chu secretly complained: You don't have to guide me secretly, I already know everything, thank you my little Wanwan.
If this matter is really related to Cui Wen, I am afraid the interests involved are extremely huge.
Otherwise, why did the copper mining continue after Cui Wen's death?
Thinking of this, the Emperor of Great Chu finally spoke.
"Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to help you investigate this matter." The Great Chu Emperor's voice was loud and powerful. "This matter is of great importance. You must do your best."
"I obey your order." Jiang Pingyue kowtowed again and again.
"Wei Cheng!" The Great Chu Emperor suddenly stood up and called Wei Cheng in from outside the door, "Write a letter to the Crown Prince and ask the Ministry of Revenue..."
At this point, the Emperor of Great Chu paused suddenly. Now that the Minister of Revenue Guo Ping had been demoted to Jinhu County, there was no better candidate for the time being, so the Assistant Minister of Revenue was temporarily in charge of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Let the Minister of Revenue and Prime Minister Lin come to De'an County as soon as possible." At this point, the Great Chu Emperor suddenly remembered someone, "Let Prince Pei mobilize a thousand elite soldiers and come together."
"Hurry up! I only give them three days. If they can't come, just resign!"
The Emperor of Great Chu was indeed very angry about this matter. He never expected that someone would privately mine copper in the territory of Great Chu.
If I hadn't made this trip south, I wouldn't have discovered so many things.
Now I have only been to two places. In Taijin County, the county magistrate Jin Wen deceived his superiors and subordinates, took bribes, and bullied the people.
The magistrate of De'an County was a good person, but he was found to be mining copper illegally.
He had always thought that the politics of the Chu State under his rule was clear, but he never expected it to be so disgraceful today. How could he be worthy of his people?
Facing the decision of the Great Chu Emperor, Jiang Pingyue even had tears in his eyes.
His persistence over the past few days has finally paid off. He secretly swore in his heart that he would make good use of this opportunity to bring the copper miners to justice and uproot the supporters behind them.
Only in this way can De'an County be given new vitality.
The Emperor of Great Chu looked at Jiang Pingyue's determined expression, and the pain in his heart was relieved a little. If all the people in the world were officials like Jiang Pingyue, the Great Chu Kingdom would surely last for thousands of years.
Lu Xingwan felt a little unhappy.
[I thought that this trip with my father was just for sightseeing, but I didn't expect so many things to happen. ]
[First, the corrupt officials were punished, then there was the assassination, and now it is estimated that the copper mine issue will be delayed for a long time. ]
[Ah! Forget it, forget it. Father has a hard time too. After all, this is a matter concerning the people's livelihood.]
[If I let my father go like this, I'm afraid he won't be at peace all the way. It's better to deal with things first before leaving. ]
[After all, we are outside now, which is freer than in the palace.]
After listening to Lu Xingwan's mumbling, the Emperor of Great Chu couldn't help but reach out and touch her little head. His own Wanwan was well-behaved and sensible.
While the Emperor of Great Chu was being loving and filial to his daughter, Helian Hengxin, the King of Yuefeng State, was in his study room, so angry that he threw away most of the memorials in front of him.
"Waste! A bunch of waste!" Helian Heng stood up angrily, even affecting He Bakui who was standing in front of him.
As the Emperor of Great Chu guessed, the previous assassin was indeed sent by Helian Hengxin.
In less than two days, the news reached Yuefeng Kingdom, saying that the one hundred death warriors sent out were no match for the dozen or so secret guards surrounding the Great Chu Emperor.
They were completely wiped out without causing any harm to the Emperor of Great Chu.
Helian Hengxin was so angry that he strangled the assassins who had risked their lives to escape and report the news on the spot. They were a bunch of useless things.
"He Bakui!" Helian Heng was really dissatisfied with He Bakui's performance these days. Ever since he came into contact with Helian Zhuli, he seemed to have his brains sucked out and he was doing brainless things all day long.
"Is this your explanation to me? Is it to send the 100 warriors you so-called 'carefully trained' out to die?"
"What do you mean the Great Chu Emperor is on a southern tour, but he brought so few people with him?"
"Yes, he has fewer people! But he can't stand up to your stupidity!"
Now Helian Hengxin is really worried.
Because of He Bakui's instigation, he sent Helian Renxin to the army. Now, he is holding on to the military command and refuses to hand it over. I heard that he has even made friends with Marquis Dingguo, saying that he wants to ensure peaceful coexistence between the two countries.
Even his previous attempt to approach Marquis Dingguo had failed.
I have put in so much effort and risked my life to meet the Marquis Dingguo. He looked moved, but he turned around and wrote me a letter.
He said that he wanted to assist the Crown Prince of the Great Chu State.
It turned out that I had wasted a lot of effort.
The later comer He Bakui said he wanted to assassinate the Emperor of Great Chu. If he succeeded, it would be fine. But now that he has failed, how could Great Chu let it go?
"Don't panic, Your Majesty," He Bakui seemed to have already made a plan, and he bowed to Helian Hengxin, "I have other arrangements."
"Your Majesty, the arrows used by our assassins are all from the Dali Kingdom. This way, the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom will never suspect us." He Bakui looked very proud. "If we can stir up a dispute between the Great Chu Kingdom and the Dali Kingdom..."
"What's more, if the Marquis Dingguo dispatches troops to attack the Dali Kingdom, wouldn't that be our chance?"
After hearing what He Bakui said, Helian Hengxin felt as if something in his head exploded.
So how did He Bakui help me ascend the throne? Was it just his brute force? Why did I rely on a man who had no military talent at all?
In the great State of Chu, there are civil officials and military officials, but what about myself?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the current emperor of Dali is a weak and incompetent person, and can only ensure his own safety by maintaining good relations with the Great Chu Kingdom.
People from Dali Kingdom went to assassinate Dachu Kingdom?
How could the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom not understand?
