As he turned over the pages, Li Jin's face was also shocked, making everyone look confused.
At this time, Chu Xuanchen raised his head and said calmly: "Master Li, you are very knowledgeable. Please read the contents of the account book to everyone."
"Okay." After Li Jin finished speaking, he glanced at Prince Rui in astonishment and then said, "On March 28, Qingzhou Weaving Li Yun sent Prince Rui 800 pieces of silk and satin and 50,000 taels of silver; on April 1,
, Zhou Fuwang, the magistrate of Yongzhou, presented Prince Rui with 80,000 taels of silver; on April 7, Zhang Lanqing, the magistrate of Qizhou, presented Prince Rui with 10,000 taels of gold, 100 bolts of silk, and two boxes each of antiques, jades, and calligraphy and paintings; on May 1st..."
At this time, when everyone heard Li Jin's words, everyone's eyes widened in shock and they looked at King Rui in disbelief.
"What's going on? Isn't it Prince Li who took bribes? How come they all turned into Prince Rui?"
"Yeah! What the hell is going on, I'm confused!"
Emperor Hongyuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also looked puzzled when he heard Li Jinnian's words.
Looking at Prince Rui again, his face had turned the color of pig liver.
He glanced at these account books in disbelief, and suddenly stared at Chu Xuanchen, with a bad premonition overflowing in his heart.
"Master Li, thank you for your hard work!" At this time, Chu Xuanchen interrupted Li Jin.
He stepped forward, took the account book in Li Jin's hand, raised his eyebrows at Prince Rui, and sneered, "Prince Rui, how about you, are you familiar with these account books? And these gold and silver treasures, do you feel that they are very interesting?"
look familiar?"
"This..." Prince Rui quickly took a look at the contents of the account book, then took a look at the belongings in the box, and his face turned pale.
what happened?
How come these are the ledgers he used to keep accounts?
Also, why do these belongings look more and more familiar, like the treasures he hid in his villa in the south of the city.
He took a closer look and found that most of the antiques, jades, calligraphy and paintings in the box were very familiar, and his heart suddenly stopped.
He saw clearly that these were clearly his treasures, why were they all here?
It's all because he was too anxious just now and entered the palace without carefully checking these treasures, otherwise he would definitely have discovered them.
However, he had clearly seen the account book before, and it did contain evidence of Chu Xuanchen's corruption. How come it all became his in the blink of an eye?
Thinking of the chaotic scene in the Villa just now, Prince Rui's pupils tightened. This must be Chu Xuanyu's fault.
He glared at Chu Xuanchen angrily and roared: "Chu Xuanchen, when I sealed the account book before, it was not like this. Why has the content in this account book changed?"
"That's right! We saw the contents of the account book before, and it was clearly evidence of King Li's corruption. How could it become like this?" A Lang also said quickly.
Prince Rui said: "This must be a frame-up, Chu Xuanchen. You just took advantage of the chaos and secretly changed the account books to frame me, right?"
"Framed? Do you still need to be framed for the things you did? How about I tell you one by one?" Chu Xuanchen curled his lips coldly.
Seeing that Chu Xuanchen was confident and calm, Emperor Hongyuan guessed something.
He looked at him and said majestically: "King Li, tell me, what is going on?"
"Yes." Chu Xuanchen said, walked towards Emperor Hongyuan, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, two months ago, I heard that King Rui formed a clique in private for personal gain, took bribes, perverted the law and preyed on the people. But at that time, I had no evidence.
To testify against him, I had to send someone to investigate him secretly. The hard work paid off, and after two months of investigation, I finally collected all the criminal evidence of King Qi Rui."
"What? Tell me what evidence you have found!" Emperor Hongyuan said coldly.
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Your Majesty, I have investigated many crimes against Prince Rui. He entangled and supervised the censor Zhou Chun and others to form cliques for personal gain, cultivated private armies, took bribes, and sold off officials to win titles. Not only that, he also withheld disaster relief.
He used money to seize people's property and plundered people's fat and anointing; he also set up private Qin Towers and Chu Pavilions in various places, forced good girls to work as prostitutes to make money, and harmed many good women."
Hearing Chu Xuanchen's words, Prince Rui was immediately furious, "Chu Xuanchen, you are talking nonsense! Do you think the emperor will believe your nonsense?"
After saying that, he quickly looked at Emperor Hongyuan and said: "Father, don't listen to his nonsense. He is simply jealous that my son is favored by you, so he framed him. Don't believe his words."
Chu Xuanchen sneered, "What I said is all true. The witnesses and material evidence are all there. It's useless for you to deny it. Not only that, you are also suspected of treason!"
At the end of his speech, his voice was sonorous, powerful and firm.
"Rebellion!!!" When the ministers heard this, they were so shocked that their eyes popped out.
Prince Rui became angry and said: "Chu Xuanchen, you are clearly framed, how could I possibly rebel?"
As soon as Emperor Hongyuan heard the word "rebellion", his nerves immediately became tense. He said angrily: "What's going on? Prince Li, please explain clearly!"
Chu Xuanchen glanced at Prince Rui coldly and said: "Your Majesty, I have here a few letters about Prince Rui and Dongfang Wuxiang colluding secretly. This letter states that Prince Rui and Dongfang Wuxiang secretly colluded, and Prince Rui brought our country to
The mining rights of Dongfang Wuxiang were handed over to Dongfang Wuxiang, so that Dongfang Wuxiang could lead troops to mine privately on the border of our country in exchange for Dongfang Wuxiang’s support! Prince Rui wanted to use Dongfang Wuxiang’s military power to force the emperor into palace and seize the throne!”
"Oh my God! Isn't this a rebellion?"
When everyone heard this, they all exclaimed in disbelief.
This Prince Rui is so courageous that he dares to collude with Dongfang Wuxiang to rebel.
Emperor Hongyuan's face was full of anger, "King Li, please bring the letter up. I want to read it myself."
"Yes." After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he presented the letters to Eunuch Xu, who then presented them to Emperor Hongyuan.
After Emperor Hongyuan took the letter, he quickly read it.
As he watched, his face became very gloomy, and his eyes overflowed with murderous intent.
Suddenly, he raised his head suddenly and glared at Prince Rui angrily, "Prince Rui, these are indeed letters of collusion between you and Dongfang Wuxiang. You traitor, you are so brave, how dare you collude with foreign enemies to rebel?"
Prince Rui already had a look of horror on his face, and he said in horror: "Father, I have been wronged..."
"Unjust? This letter is written clearly and plainly, but you still dare to say that it is unjust?" Emperor Hongyuan gritted his teeth and stood up, staring at Prince Rui with cold and piercing eyes.
By this time, King Rui was so frightened that his scalp was numb and his whole body was shaking.
He glanced at the letters and suddenly looked at Chu Xuanchen. How did Chu Xuanchen get these letters?
And those treasures were hidden so secretly, how did Chu Xuanchen get them?
He suddenly realized that this was a trap, a trap carefully laid out for him by Chu Xuanchen!
