As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing Xing raised his eyebrows and felt that this sentence seemed familiar. Why was it exactly the same as what Zhu Wen had said just now?
Zhu Wen also became interested and said: "Dong Dingguo and I are old acquaintances. I also want to hear about this family matter. Please just tell me directly, Dingguo Gong."
"I promise not to reveal any of the contents to anyone."
Zhang Xun frowned slightly when he heard this.
How come this Zhu Wen can't understand Haolai's words?
He was clearly chasing people away, yet he was still begging to stay.
Really... I have no eyesight.
However, the matter was so important that he no longer hid it, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the golden robe that you gave me last time, he... lost it."
"Lost?" Emperor Jing Xing couldn't help but raise his tone a few notches when he heard this.
This was a gift from the emperor. Although losing his head would not lead to beheading as an apology, it would still be a big sin.
Besides, Zhang Xun has always been a safe person, how could he be so flawless?
"How did you lose it? Tell me in detail."
"Being... the treacherous son of the subject, he was pawned on the black market."
"ah?"
"ah?"
When Emperor Jing Xing and Zhu Wen heard this, they both exclaimed in surprise.
"Your son also stole household items and sold them?" Emperor Jing Xing said.
Also? Zhang Xun heard the implication: "Is there someone else?"
Zhu Wen heard this and smiled bitterly: "Who else could it be, but that unfilial son Zhu Ben?"
"I became more courageous each time. This time I stole a hundred thousand taels worth of items. Even the two purple Davidia trees at the gate of my Yangcheng Marquis Mansion were dug up and sold."
"Zhang Han is about the same. He took items worth 120,000 taels of silver." Zhang Xun sighed and said.
When Zhu Wen heard this, he felt much better.
One hundred and twenty thousand taels! Twenty thousand taels more than Zhu Ben's traitor.
Fortunately, fortunately, this one in my family is not the most wasteful one.
"Are you going to do business with Li Changkong too?" Emperor Jing Xing asked.
"Your Majesty, how do you know?" Zhang Xun was surprised again, but he turned to look at Zhu Wen aside and suddenly understood.
The one hundred thousand taels of silver that Zhu Ben stole probably went to Li Changkong.
"The combined money of your two families is more than two hundred thousand taels. What kind of business requires such a large amount of money?" Emperor Jing Xing was also amazed and said: "But again, Li Changkong and
You two have children, one is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to suffer."
"This has not violated any laws and regulations, and I can't blame them."
"If you want your money back, just go ahead and I won't comment."
"But to be honest, this matter is also your family matter. Don't bring it up to the palace next time."
"I obey the decree." Duke Dingguo's family has a great cause. Zhang Xun came here not because he was worried about money, but because he lost his gold-threaded clothes, so he came here to ask for forgiveness. Now it's okay if the Holy One doesn't blame him.
Zhu Wen was different. He came just because he felt sorry for the one hundred thousand taels of silver.
"Then please step aside." Emperor Jing Xing waved his hand, thinking of issuing an order to expel the guests.
However, before the expulsion order was issued, Zheng Ying, who was waiting outside the palace gate, came in again and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jia wants to see you."
"Hey, this is really a strange thing today. Did you guys make an appointment to come here? Xuan, come in. I want to see if it's still because of the money."
After a while, Jia Pingsheng walked in and was slightly surprised when he saw Zhu Wen and Zhang Xun.
"Jia Gong, please don't say anything. Let me guess!" Zhu Wen said before Jia Pingsheng could speak.
“Is the family’s money gone?”
"No, some calligraphy and paintings that have been collected for many years are all missing."
"It's the same, it's all just money when it comes to the black market."
"Did your young master take it? The amount is not small. If it were exchanged for silver, it would be about one hundred thousand taels?"
"Hiss!" Jia Pingsheng gasped, thinking that Zhu Wen usually didn't look very smart and naive, but now he was like a roundworm in his stomach, unable to guess his thoughts.
two.
"There are probably so many, how does Marquis Yangcheng know?"
"Of course it was my traitorous son who also stole items from the house and sold them."
Emperor Jing Xing was speechless as he listened to the conversation at the foot of the steps.
My career has not been bad. I don’t say that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but at least the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and it does not mean that I have buried my hard work over the years and more than ten years of hard work.
Why are all the children in the family like this when we come to the ministers and nobles?
Although it is your own property, it is really not a good behavior to take it without asking. If only one person does this, there is still something to be said.
But now that all three of them are like this, the problem is a bit big.
Could it be that there is something wrong with Jing Xingyi's chaofeng?
Emperor Jing Xing rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little irritated, and said: "I still say what I said, don't bring your family matters to the court. If you want to go to Li Changkong to pay back the money, you can go.
"
After speaking, he waved his hands and motioned for everyone to leave.
Zhang Xun, Zhu Wen and Jia Pingsheng looked at each other, helpless.
The key thing is that there are countless mistakes, and they are all the fault of your own children.
Li Changkong didn't force your child to give him money with a machete. It was your child's choice!
Who can I talk to to reason with this?
Nothing to say!
No matter how great the emperor is, he can't control such ridiculous things.
After everyone left, the Manna Hall became quiet.
However, Emperor Jing Xing was a little distracted from reviewing the memorial after being so disturbed.
He waved his hand, summoned Zheng Ying to him, and asked: "How is the framing of the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" at the prince's place? After such a long time, it should have gained some insights."
When Zheng Ying heard this, he frowned and replied rather distressedly: "In these days, there has been no news about the "Shanhe Sheji Tu" in the East Palace."
"No news at all?"
"No!" Zheng Ying replied resolutely. All the matters in this palace, big and small, could not be hidden from the eyes of him, the chief chamberlain.
So when he said no, there is a high probability that there is no!
Hearing this answer, Emperor Jing Xing thought of the usually naughty tempers of the three Qing family members and the prince today, and his heart immediately skipped a beat.
"I remember you said a few days ago that the Crown Prince and Li Changkong have a close relationship, right?"
"That's what my slave said." Zheng Ying was sweating profusely, obviously realizing something.
"Check! Go to the East Palace now and check to see if the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" is still there!"
"If he's not here, just bring that traitor over to me."
"promise!"
Emperor Jing Xing was furious, but after saying this, he realized something was wrong.
No matter how naughty the prince is, he is still the prince.
The "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Tu" symbolizes the world. If it is really taken and sold by the prince, and this matter is made known to everyone, then... how can the prince's face be saved?
Where is the royal dignity?
"That's all. If you're not here, don't make any noise. Just come back and report." Thinking of this, Emperor Jing Xing immediately changed his words.
