"The emperor is right." Eunuch Zhu said softly: "These days, the prince has handled all the important affairs of the court properly, and the Prince of Chu's palace has always been calm. In order to avoid suspicion, the generals of the Prince of Chu's residence, the King of Chu, has ordered
Extremely important military affairs are not allowed to enter the Chu Palace."
"This younger brother of mine did not disappoint me." The emperor said with infinite joy.
Eunuch Zhu glanced at the emperor and said, "It's just that the Prince of Chu's palace is pitiful."
"How do you say that?" the emperor asked curiously. He knew that when he was seriously ill, the Chu Palace was the most powerful palace in the entire Zhou Dynasty. In addition, Chu Yuanzhou was now supervising the country, so there would definitely be
A lot of pressure.
The emperor made such an arrangement when he fell ill. It was actually after a lot of struggle. In the emperor's heart, he was actually a little worried that Chu Yuanzhou would cause trouble, and he was even more worried that the Chu Palace would take this opportunity to cause trouble.
Although the emperor had already thought of a countermeasure before, the current result satisfied the emperor. The Chu Palace did not disappoint the emperor, and Chu Yuanzhou did not disappoint the emperor.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. He only felt that he had not misjudged the person. He felt a little guilty for his previous suspicion of the Chu Palace. If he had not had those suspicions at the beginning, then the entire territory of the Zhou Dynasty would have been much wider.
.
Eunuch Zhu said softly: "Princess Chu has a nephew named Bai Luo, who is the richest man in the entire Zhou Dynasty. Four years ago, he donated one million taels of silver due to the Huaihe River disaster. But this time, some people say that there was an earthquake in Chenzhou."
He took advantage of the situation and made great use of the country's wealth. He hoarded a lot of rice and then raised the price."
There was a hint of coldness in the emperor's eyes. Eunuch Zhu looked at him cautiously and then said: "The Ministry of Punishment is already investigating this matter, and now there are some clues. Although the matter has nothing to do with Bai Luo, it is because he is a relative of the Prince of Chu's Palace.
, so the prince still imprisons him in the Ministry of Punishment."
The emperor sighed softly and asked: "Who did this?"
"Old slave is not an official of the Ministry of Punishment, so he doesn't know the ins and outs of that matter." Eunuch Zhu said softly: "The prince did not avoid the old slave when he was working. Yesterday, when the Ministry of Punishment came to handle the case, the old slave listened.
It seems that the matter was arranged by the minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
"Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" the emperor asked, "Is it Zhang Guangfei or Niu Yuanzhi?"
"It's Mr. Niu." Eunuch Zhu said softly.
When the emperor heard Eunuch Zhu's words, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Who was Niu Yuanzhi? The emperor knew very well that Niu Yuanzhi was, to put it bluntly, Chu Mo's. Back then, Chu Mo said a lot of good things about Niu Yuanzhi in front of the emperor, so the emperor hired him.
Originally, it didn't matter that Niu Yuanzhi was from Chu Mo, but when this incident was put together, everything changed. The emperor's heart suddenly became extremely unhappy, and he immediately snorted coldly.
The emperor originally had some suspicions about Chu Mo, but now that these things happened, his suspicions became even heavier. He was disappointed with Chu Mo's character, but he felt that he had not taught his son well.
Eunuch Zhu was also aware of these twists and turns. He glanced at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand the affairs of the court, but if Bai Luo is not guilty and is accused of being guilty, I'm afraid it will chill the people of the world.
