Eunuch Zhu said in a low voice: "Although Bai Luo is just a businessman, he has a high prestige among the people. He has funded the construction of many roads and schools, which has provided great convenience to many ordinary people. Every time there is a natural disaster somewhere,
, he was the first to donate money, and the amount of money he donated was quite large.”
The emperor's eyes deepened, and Eunuch Zhu said softly: "This time the news about his arrest spread, and many people in the capital went to the Ministry of Punishment to petition him, saying that it was impossible for him to do such a thing."
The emperor still didn't speak. When Zhu Eunuch saw that the emperor didn't speak, he knew that he could only say so much. If he spoke more, it would only be harmful.
The emperor pondered for a while, and when he was about to speak again, a chamberlain came in and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ming is outside asking for an audience."
When the emperor heard that Chu Mo was coming, his eyes became colder and he said, "What time is it now?"
"It's just past Youshi hour." The chamberlain replied softly.
The emperor said coldly: "I remember that after the Youshi hour, the key to the palace door will be released. Why is he still in the palace?"
"I heard that Prince Ming was worried about the emperor's health and was staying in the palace tonight. I also heard that the emperor had woken up and wanted to see him." The chamberlain said softly.
The emperor's face, which was not very good at first, suddenly turned even uglier. He sneered and said: "He is thoughtful. I just have something to ask him, so let him come in."
The emperor's health was not very good. After saying so many words, Chu Mo was slightly out of breath. After Chu Mo came in, he saluted the emperor and said: "My son, I wish your father to be healthy and recover soon. Father, I wish you good health and a speedy recovery."
If I don’t wake up, I’m afraid my empire in Great Zhou will change hands!”
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Chu Mo's words, but he said unhurriedly: "How do you say it?"
Chu Mo lay on the ground and said: "During the days when my father was sleeping, Chu Yuanzhou, the eldest son of the King of Chu, controlled the government and lived in a single hall. The ministers in the court were miserable. He also teamed up with the richest man Bai Luo to form a clique in Chenzhou for personal gain and hoard rice.
The prices of grain are raised on the ground, making the people of Chenzhou miserable!"
What he said was righteous and seemed extremely painful.
If the emperor had not heard what Eunuch Zhu said when he woke up, he would have been so angry that he would vomit blood when he heard Chu Mo's words. But because he had heard Eunuch Zhu's words, he was extremely calm at this time.
He just said calmly: "Really?"
Chu Mo was shocked when he heard what he said, and said hurriedly: "Think about what Chu Yuanzhou said in front of my father? Father, please don't listen to his nonsense, he is simply ambitious!"
Chu Mo thought about everything carefully during these days and felt that if he wanted to get the throne, it would be better to destroy the Prince of Chu's Palace directly instead of wooing the Prince of Chu's Palace all the time.
This time the emperor asked Chu Yuanzhou to supervise the country. Although it seemed that Chu Yuanzhou's strength had been greatly increased and Chu Yuanzhou was in control of the government, in fact this matter was a double-edged sword.
Chu Mo only started to attack Bai Luo after he saw through this, because in Chu Mo's view, the Prince Chu's palace was so airtight that he had no chance at all, and Bai Luo was the only one who could break through.
He knew that only by proving Bai Luo's charges could he deal a substantial blow to the Chu Palace. The relationship between Chu Yuanzhou and Bai Luo had always been excellent, and Chu Yuanzhou could be dragged into the water.
