Seeing Prince Rui's proud 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 sinister eyes, "What's going on? Prince Rui, you said that Prince Li was corrupt and took bribes, do you have any evidence?"
Prince Rui immediately took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Father, this is absolutely true. A few days ago, A Lang, a subordinate of Er Chen, discovered that Mo Li, a close servant of Prince Li, was acting suspiciously, so he went to investigate. As a result, A Lang discovered
, every midnight, Moli would transport a batch of boxes to his villa. Alang noticed something was wrong, so he sneaked into the secret room of the villa to check, and he discovered that there were dozens of boxes hidden in the secret room.
The total value of gold, silver and jewelry is five to six million taels of silver."
"What? Moli actually hid so many treasures secretly?" Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
The ministers who followed had already stared at Chu Xuanchen angrily, with disappointment on their faces.
This Moli is his. If these treasures are not his, who else could be there?
They did not expect that King Li, who had always cared about the country and the people, would be such a person.
Seeing everyone's reaction, King Rui glared at Chu Xuanchen proudly and continued: "Father, Mo Li is just a deputy general. There is no way he can have so many treasures. This treasure and the other village clearly belong to Prince Li.
And King Li also admitted it, saying that these were his private property. Not only that, but the son also found many account books in those wooden boxes. These account books recorded evidence that King Li had embezzled and accepted bribes, embezzled disaster relief funds, and plundered people's wealth.
Every transaction and every item is clearly recorded.”
"Damn it!" When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he was so angry that he smashed his fist on the imperial case.
He turned around and glared at Chu Xuanchen angrily, "Prince Bold Li, as a general king, you dare to be so corrupt and pervert the law. What crime do you deserve?"
"emperor……"
Chu Xuanchen was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by Prince Rui, "King Li, are you going to quibble again in front of the emperor? I tell you, the facts of your crime are clear and clear, and the personal and material evidence are solid. You can't even think of quibbles."
.”
"That's right! As a prince, you already have a generous salary and enjoy countless glory and wealth. I didn't expect that you would engage in corruption and bribery. Are you worthy of the emperor?"
"Now that the country is in trouble and the people are suffering, you still take advantage of the disaster relief to make money wantonly. You are simply a sinner of Chu State."
Several of Prince Rui's closest ministers also quickly responded and accused Chu Xuanchen.
At this time, Taishi Li Jin hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness King Li used his own money to provide disaster relief. I believe that he will not take bribes at all. This must be someone with ulterior motives who designed to frame him."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I also believe that Prince Li will never do anything corrupt and pervert the law. There must be something fishy in this. Your Majesty, please investigate." Dong Changfeng also said.
Upon seeing this, King Rui immediately said angrily: "Grand Master Li, General Dong, you can't just trust him so much just because you have a good relationship with King Li."
Li Jin snorted angrily, "We don't believe him, we just believe in his character!"
Prince Rui sneered, "Okay! You don't believe it, do you? I want you to see it today and be convinced! Come here and present all the evidence!"
After King Rui gave the order, the officials carried all the wooden boxes in.
Seeing these wooden boxes, everyone was shocked.
There are so many boxes alone, which shows that Chu Xuanchen has embezzled a lot!
Seeing these boxes, Emperor Hongyuan also looked very ugly.
After the officials carried all the boxes in, King Rui hurriedly walked towards Emperor Hongyuan and said seriously: "Father, you see, these are the evidence that Chu Xuanchen is corrupt and perverting the law. Come, open all the boxes, I want you to
Nothing to say!"
"Yes!" After the officials said, they quickly cut off the seals with their swords and opened all the lids of the box.
At this moment, dazzling golden light flashed out from those boxes, and the hall was suddenly filled with golden light, which was dazzling.
Everyone hurried over and saw that the box contained countless gold, silver and jewelry.
A large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, jades, and precious silks and satins were placed in front of everyone, making everyone gasp.
"Oh my God! What His Highness Prince Rui said is actually true. Prince Li actually embezzled so much treasure. He plundered so much money just to destroy the foundation of our Chu Kingdom!"
"It's so dark! This King Li is so evil! He already has a huge fortune and countless fiefdoms, yet he still embezzles people's money. He is simply heinous and deserves death!"
"Look, there are many account books here. Are these the account books that His Highness Prince Rui mentioned?"
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan was so angry that he was shaking all over when he saw these treasures.
He pointed at Chu Xuanchen and said angrily: "Okay! King Li, in vain I always thought you were honest and honest, but I didn't expect you to be so corrupt. The country is in such hardship now, the people are in such hardship, but you have plundered so much money, are you worthy of me?"
?"
"emperor……"
"That's enough! Shut up!" Chu Xuanchen was about to speak when Emperor Hongyuan interrupted him angrily, "Come here, open these account books. Eunuch Xu, read it to me. I want to listen to it."
How many dirty things has he done?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Gonggong said.
At this time, several eunuchs quickly walked over, picked up the account books from the box, and handed them to Eunuch Xu.
Eunuch Xu took one of the ledgers, then turned to the first page and glanced upward.
He scanned the contents of the account book 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 hesitated, with a lot of cold sweat on his forehead.
Emperor Hongyuan asked in confusion: "What's the matter? You can just recite it when I'm told. Why are you hesitating?"
Eunuch Xu hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, is there something written wrong in this account book? Why is the name of His Highness Prince Rui written all over?"
"What? What is my name written on it?" Upon hearing this, Prince Rui stared at Eunuch Xu in disbelief.
Everyone also looked shocked.
Eunuch Xu said with a sad face: "Yes! My lord, your name is really written in full. If you don't believe me, just look at it..."
Prince Rui said as he quickly grabbed the account book and scanned it sharply with a pair of eagle eyes.
As soon as he scanned the account book, his face suddenly became very panicked, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
He said in disbelief: "How could...how could this happen?"
Seeing Prince Rui's frightened look, Chu Xuanchen raised the corners of his mouth casually, with a sneer emerging from the corner of his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Hongyuan immediately said: "Master Li, go and see what is going on?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Li Jin said that, he quickly stepped forward, took the account book from the eunuch's hand, and started to read it.
