Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Seeing Prince Rui's complacent look, Xue Tianxiang's heart skipped a beat, and she really hoped nothing would happen to Chu Xuanchen.

As soon as Emperor Hongyuan walked into the main hall, he stared at Prince Rui and Chu Xuanchen with stern eyes, "What's going on? Prince Rui, you said that Prince Li was corrupt and took bribes, do you have evidence?"

Prince Rui immediately took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Father, this matter is absolutely true. A few days ago, A Lang, my servant's subordinate, found Mo Li, Prince Li's close servant, acting suspiciously, so he went to investigate. As a result, A Lang found Every midnight, Mo Li would transport a batch of boxes to his other village. A Lang noticed something was wrong, so he sneaked into the secret room of the other village to check, and he found that there were dozens of boxes hidden in the secret room. Gold, silver and jewelry are worth five or six million taels of silver."

"What? Moli actually hid so many treasures privately?" Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes in disbelief.

The ministers who followed had already stared at Chu Xuanchen angrily, all with disappointment on their faces.

This Moli belonged to him, but these treasures were not his, so who else could there be?

They did not expect that Li Wang, who has always been concerned about the country and the people, is actually such a person.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Prince Rui glared at Chu Xuanchen triumphantly, and continued: "Father, Mo Li is only a lieutenant general, it is impossible for him to have so many treasures, this treasure and the Biezhuang are clearly owned by King Li. Moreover, King Li also admitted that these were his private property. Not only that, but the son-in-law also found many ledgers in those wooden boxes. These ledgers recorded evidence of King Li's embezzlement and bribery, misappropriation of disaster relief funds, and search for people's anointing. Every single item is clearly recorded."

"Damn it!" Hearing this, Emperor Hong Yuan was so angry that he threw his fist on the imperial case.

He turned around and glared at Chu Xuanchen angrily, "King Bold Li, as a great general, you dare to be so corrupt and pervert the law. What should you do?"

"emperor……"

Chu Xuanchen was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by Prince Rui, "Prince Li, are you going to argue again in front of the Emperor? Let me tell you, the facts of your crime are clear and clear, and the evidence is convincing. .”

"That's right! As a prince, you already have a good salary and enjoy countless glory and wealth. I didn't expect you to be corrupt and accept bribes. Are you worthy of the emperor?"

"Now that the country is in trouble and the people are suffering, you still use the opportunity of disaster relief to amass money wantonly. You are simply a sinner of Chu State."

Several of Prince Rui's confidantes also quickly responded, accusing Chu Xuanchen one after another.

At this time, Grand Master Li Jin hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, before His Royal Highness Prince Li paid for disaster relief out of his own pocket, the old minister believed that he would not take bribes at all. This must have been designed by someone with ulterior motives to frame him."

"That's right! Your majesty, I also believe that Li Wang will never do anything corrupt and perverting the law. There must be something wrong with it. Please investigate clearly." Dong Changfeng also said.

Seeing this, Prince Rui immediately said angrily: "Master Li, General Dong, you can't trust him so much just because you have a good relationship with Prince Li."

Li Jin snorted angrily, "We didn't trust him, we just trusted him!"

Prince Rui sneered, "Okay! You don't believe me, do you? I want you to see it today to convince yourself! Someone, present all the evidence!"

After Prince Rui gave the order, the officials carried all those wooden boxes in.

Seeing these wooden boxes, everyone was shocked.

Just because there are so many boxes, it can be seen that Chu Xuanchen has been corrupted a lot!

Seeing these boxes, Emperor Hongyuan's face was also very ugly.

After the officials brought all the boxes in, Prince Rui hurriedly walked towards Emperor Hongyuan, and said seriously: "Father, look, these are the evidences of Chu Xuanchen's corruption and breaking the law. Come, open all the boxes, this king wants you Nothing to say!"

"Yes!" After the officials finished speaking, they quickly cut off the seals with their swords and opened the lid of the box completely.

At this moment, dazzling golden lights flashed from those boxes, and the hall was filled with golden light, dazzling and dazzling.

Everyone hurried over and saw countless gold, silver and jewels in the box.

A large amount of gold and silver, jewelry, antique jade and precious silk and satin were placed in front of everyone, and everyone took a breath of air.

"Oh my god! What His Highness Prince Rui said is actually true, and Prince Li actually embezzled so much treasure. He scavenged so much money, he just wanted to destroy the foundation of our Chu Kingdom!"

"It's too dark! This Li Wang is too black-hearted! He already has a wealth of wealth and countless lands, but he still comes to embezzle the people's money. He is simply heinous and deserves death!"

"Look, there are many ledgers here, could these be the ledgers that His Highness Prince Rui mentioned?"

At this time, Emperor Hongyuan was trembling with anger when he saw these treasures.

Pointing at Chu Xuanchen, he said angrily, "Okay! King Li, I always thought you were upright and upright, but I didn't expect you to be so corrupt. The country is in such a difficult situation, and the people are so difficult, but you are plundering so much money. You are worthy of me." ?"

"emperor……"

"Enough! Shut up!" Chu Xuanchen was about to speak, but Emperor Hongyuan interrupted him angrily, "Come on, open these ledgers. Eunuch Xu, read it to me, I want to listen to it." How many dirty things has he done!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Xu said.

At this time, several eunuchs hurried over, picked up the ledger from the box, and handed it to Eunuch Xu.

Eunuch Xu took one of the ledgers, turned to the first page, and glanced at it.

He scanned the contents of the ledger and was about to read it when suddenly his expression became very strange.

"Your Majesty, this... this account book..." Looking at the account book, Eunuch Xu faltered, with a lot of cold sweat on his forehead.

Emperor Hongyuan wondered: "What's the matter? If you tell you to read it, just read it, why are you hesitating?"

Eunuch Xu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, is there a mistake in this account book? Why is it all written in the name of His Highness Prince Rui?"

"What? You wrote this king's name?" Upon hearing this, Prince Rui stared at Eunuch Xu in disbelief.

Everyone was also shocked.

Eunuch Xu said with a mournful face, "Yes! My lord, your name is really written in full. If you don't believe me, take a look..."

As Prince Rui said, he quickly grabbed the ledger, and scanned it sharply with his eagle eyes.

He scanned the ledger, his face suddenly became very panicked, and his whole body couldn't help shaking.

He couldn't believe it: "How... how could this happen?"

Seeing Prince Rui's frightened look, Chu Xuanchen casually raised the corners of his mouth, and a sneer overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Hongyuan immediately said: "Master Li, go and see quickly, what is going on here?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Li Jin finished speaking, he hurried forward, took the account book from the eunuch, and began to look through it.
