Chapter 832 835. Prince
"Your Highness," the counselor Mr. Le stepped forward and said, "It is well known that Madam Gu has a golden hand, and her shops are spread all over the country. These people took the opportunity to act at this moment because they want the wealth in her hands.
We must not be careless about this matter. If such a large sum of money falls into the hands of others, it will be a threat to us."
Although Mr. Le did not say it explicitly, Hua Zhang knew in his heart that there was something behind it.
Except for his own younger brother, the other princes have been in turmoil over the years and have only been able to maintain superficial peace.
Ever since he was appointed Crown Prince, the court suddenly became peaceful, which made him even more uneasy.
If I put myself in his shoes, if the emperor made someone else the crown prince, he would probably be dissatisfied.
But being a crown prince also has its disadvantages, and there are many more concerns. "It's just that there are too many people watching me now, and I'm afraid some of them are waiting for me to take action."
Lv Wei, "Your Highness, I have sent people to keep an eye on it. The investigation revealed that it was a few businessmen who did it, but this is really too unusual.
Even if these businessmen have some ability, they don't have that much courage.
I found it strange and asked someone to check his place. I didn't expect that in addition to Lord Bai, the Xu family was also involved. "
When Lu Wei said this, he raised his head and looked at the other prince's aides. He thought that he had done a great job in this matter and even found out this.
Le San, "..." If His Majesty hadn't sent someone to give a push from behind, I would have really thought that the Xu family was a vegetarian.
Lu Wei naturally didn't know about this. He was eager to make a contribution at this moment. "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is behind the Xu family. If they really succeed in this, it will be a disaster."
Mr. Le, "We need to find out more about this matter and not act rashly. I think there is some truth in what His Highness said, but I am afraid this is a trap."
Lu Wei still insisted, "If they really succeed in this, will we just watch the huge fortune fall into their pockets?"
"Although I have never met Gu Wenheng, I know that he is no ordinary person since he has risen from a mere scholar to his current position." Mr. Le turned and looked at the prince.
"Your Highness, the things that Gu Wenheng has done over the years have earned him such love from the people, which is enough to show that he is not short of strategies and tactics. These people dare to plot against them at this time, betting that the emperor will rule the world with filial piety and will not take advantage of others to restore the emperor.
There are too many variables during the three years of mourning. Even if Gu Wenheng has more plans to deal with it, he will still suffer some losses.
Your Highness, this is also a great opportunity for Your Highness. If you can lend a hand now, Your Highness will have an extra capable minister in the future."
Hua Zhang rubbed the jade ring, "What you said, sir, is that I should go and give a reminder."
Mr. Le shook his head. "No, these people are gambling, why don't you gamble too?"
Hua Zhang, "..."

Hua Shunming, who was in the study, relaxed his brows when he heard Le San report that the prince wanted to see him.
When he summoned the man into the study, before he could even open his mouth to speak, the prince had already performed the great ceremony of monarch and subject.
"Prince, what does this mean?"
Except in the court, the prince rarely performs this grand ceremony.
Huazhang took out the memorial from his arms and handed it over respectfully with both hands.
Le San leaned sideways, carefully took the letter and presented it to Hua Shunming.
Hua Shunming flipped it open and looked at Hua Zhang in surprise, "The prince is well-informed and pays attention to these little things."
Hua Zhang, "Father, it was my son's secretary who accidentally found out. I dare not conceal it. Please tell me clearly, father."
Hua Shunming had a complicated expression. He glanced at the top of his head and saw that the prince's crown was still as dazzling as when he wore it.
"Prince, do you know that what is written here actually points directly to the Fifth Prince?"
Hua Zhang's attitude was even more respectful, "Your son knows that your son believes in your fifth brother, but not the Xu family."
Hua Shunming chuckled, "The prince is good at talking, but being an emperor is not just about being good at talking.
The Xu family and the Fifth Prince are a separate lineage, so if you really want to count them, he can't escape it.
Tell me, what do you think? "
“Father, the Xu family’s targeting of Lord Gu for no reason this time is really chilling.
If no one noticed and Lord Gu was not in the court, after their actions, they would really have nowhere to turn for help.
Lord Gu has been loyal and dedicated to the country and the people over the years. I, as your son, really don't want to disappoint such a loyal and conscientious person.
Father, this matter has not yet become a serious mistake, please protect me."
"Why doesn't the prince come forward himself?" Hua Shunming said coldly, "You are the prince I personally appointed, the future emperor, can't you make up your mind on this?"
"Father," Hua Zhang straightened his back instantly, looking Hua Shunming in the eye, "It is true that I am the crown prince, but now the world belongs to you, father. I am only the crown prince."
Hua Shunming, "You are saying that I have no tolerance for others."
"I dare not," Hua Zhang bowed again, "I hope your Majesty will make the decision."
Hua Shunming, "The prince is still too young. How do you know this isn't a case of both sides willing to fight and be beaten?"
"Father, do you mean that they are acting in a double act?" Hua Zhang could no longer control the expression on his face and showed surprise.
Hua Shunming couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen other expressions at the Prince's table. It was a pity that this expression appeared for a short time. This serious look was really a bit boring.
Hua Zhang failed to understand the disappointment in his father's eyes and was wondering in his heart, could it be that Gu Wenheng was taking advantage of the situation to transfer his wealth to Lao Wu, and that he had actually been wooed by Lao Wu for a long time?
But this shouldn't happen. What went wrong?
He still believed in Zhou Shixiong's judgment of people. No matter how smart Gu Wenheng was, he couldn't have concealed it so well for so many years.
"Prince, please take a look at this." Hua Shunming stood at the bookcase behind and took out a memorial from the mezzanine.
Seeing that the prince was still kneeling there, he said, "Stand up! Eunuch Le is old now, so don't trouble him with everything."
Le San smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am still strong and healthy. If you feel sorry for the prince, just tell me directly. If you insist on asking me to be his servant, people who don't know would think I am lazy in serving the prince."
Hua Shunming pointed him out, "You have been with me for many years, so it is only natural that I should pamper you a little, Prince, don't you think so?"
"Eunuch Le has served our father for many years, and this is what he deserves." Hua Zhang also said to Le San with a smile, implicitly making a promise.
"Take a look at this first," Hua Shunming did not mind Le San's grateful look. Le San had served him all his life, and he always wanted him to have a good life in his later years.
Hua Zhang opened his mouth slightly in shock after reading it. The prince's unpredictable behavior today also successfully amused Hua Shunming.
"Do you find it strange?" Hua Shunming glanced at the memorial in his hand and asked with a smile.
"The Xu family will definitely be so angry this time that they will vomit blood," Hua Zhang sighed before asking the question, "So, Lord Gu and the others have already guessed this?"
