Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu walked aimlessly, and asked casually, "How's the big hunting going?"

Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu, looked around from time to time, and heard the words: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is in charge of this matter, and the Ministry of War is in charge. The main participants and guards have been selected and ready to go. The royal garden has been abandoned for many years. , although it has just been cleaned up, it is only a big hunt, so it should not be a problem."

Zhu Xu paced, pondered for a long time, and said, "Choose a few gentle ponies and give them to my three sons. When the time comes, let them play as they please."

There are no casual matters in the royal family, Cao Huachun vaguely heard Zhu Xu's meaning, raised his hand and said, "Yes, I will go to Commander Wang when I get back."

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "The child can't be left alone, and Concubine Li will go with me."

Concubine Li is Li Jieyu from Fengzao Palace.

Cao Huachun looked up at Zhu Xu's back, hesitant to speak.

Zhu Xu's care for the eldest son of the emperor was a bit "extraordinary", which aroused discussions among the government and the public. Normally, this big hunt should not bring a concubine, but the empress of the middle palace, but the empress is about to give birth.

But the mother and concubine who brought the eldest son of the emperor, on such an occasion, will definitely cause even greater criticism and bury trouble for the future!

"Yes."

Cao Huachun didn't say much in the end, he knew that Zhu Xu must know this, since he arranged it like this, there must be his purpose.

After saying this, Zhu Xu's mood suddenly improved a lot. With his hands behind his back, he laughed loudly and said, "Didn't you say there will be a horse race? Let's go, let's go and have a look. If there is a chance, I will go and compare with that Li Dingguo."

Chapter 1175 Coincidentally False

It was the end of July in a blink of an eye, and the sun above Daming was like a stove, pouring all the heat down, covering every corner of Daming.

Even with icy charcoal, Zhu Xu's Qianqing Palace East Nuan Pavilion is still unbearably hot, like a steam room.

Xiao Yongning stood opposite Zhu Xu, coquettishly said: "Uncle, I want to go too, I can ride horses and shoot arrows..."

Zhu Xu flipped through the playbook in his hand, filling in a few strokes from time to time, as if he didn't hear what the little girl said.

Xiao Yongning looked at Zhu Xu, rolled his eyes white, and snorted: "Uncle, if you don't let me go, I will bother you every day. I will go to Fengzao Palace later, and take Ye'er and the others out." Palace to play..."

Zhu Xu picked up the notebook and tapped her on the head, saying: "If you talk nonsense again, I'll lock you up in the firewood room. That's fine, I don't have time to talk to you, so you go back and forth."

Just as the little girl was about to refute, Cao Huachun came in and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Baigu is asking to see you."

Without raising his head, Zhu Xu said, "Sure."

Cao Huachun responded, and then Sun Chuanting, who was wearing ordinary clothes, came in, looked at him, raised his hand and said, "My subject, Sun Chuanting, sees the emperor."

Zhu Xu raised his head and said directly: "What is it?"

Sun Chuanting glanced at Xiao Yongning, handed over a memorandum, and said, "Your Majesty, the Anti-Corruption Bureau conducted a thorough investigation of Nanzhili, and accidentally discovered some secrets in the Shenlong Mansion, and did not report it truthfully."

Zhu Xu glanced at him again, picked up the playbook, and flipped through it.

This memorandum did not say much, but it involved the Shenlong Mansion from the corruption case in Nanzhili. From this, it was found that the details of the accounts handed over to the imperial court by the Shenlong Mansion were incorrect, and many items did not appear on it, that is to say, Shenlong Mansion hid a lot of money from the imperial court.

The specific anti-corruption bureau is unknown, but it may be as high as 200 million taels of silver.

This must be a large amount of money for the ruling and opposition parties. In the Ming Dynasty, it may be the number one corruption case.

But there is still a strange thing here. The strange thing is that the Shenlong Mansion is actually Zhu Xu's private domain, and it is also managed by Bumbutai, the prospective concubine "Mrs. Chen". Why do they care about this money?

Or, is it sneaked into the money?

Seeing Zhu Xu's calm expression, Sun Chuanting felt a little moved in his heart.But no matter what, since we found this place, we need Zhu Xu to give an explanation, so that the anti-corruption bureau can have a sense of proportion.

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, but there was a change in his heart.

He really didn't know about this. Bumbutai's account books didn't say anything, and neither did anyone who came.

"This, looks like smuggling?"

Zhu Xu murmured in his heart that these account books and titles were completely different from those submitted by Bumbutai, and the goods, time, and ships they transported all seemed weird, as if they were smuggling without the knowledge of Shenlong Mansion.

However, if this is the case, why can't the Anti-Corruption Bureau see it, and why must it be reported to him?Even Sun Chuanting came to take this trip in person?

Zhu Xu looked up at Sun Chuanting, and said calmly, "What do you think?"

Sun Chuanting didn't speak, and there was an extra notebook in his hand, he said: "Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Office has secretly reported that someone seems to be colluding with the commanders and governors of various places in an attempt to plot rebellion."

Zhu Xu looked at him and blinked, quickly took the playbook, and read it.

The Military Intelligence Department found a letter during an investigation, and attached a lot of lists in my heart, including Jin Guoqi, Liu Dai and others who guarded the Gyeonggi camp, and Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew, whom Zhu Xu trusted. favorite.

This letter listed Zhu Xu's 58 crimes, and called on these people to contact each other in an attempt to imprison Zhu Xu in the back of the palace, kill the faint ministers in front of the palace, and bring back the bright and clear breeze!

Zhu Xu became more and more puzzled, Shenlong Mansion, Cao Wenzhao?What is this number?

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that some people are secretly trying to drive a wedge between us, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and we have to guard against them."

Whether it's Bumbutai from the Shenlong Mansion, or Cao Wenzhao, who is now leading the [-] elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, they are all close friends of Zhu Xu, and people who rely heavily on him. If he turns his face, it will have a great impact on Daming up.

But when Sun Chuanting said "we have to guard against", it is difficult for Cao Wenzhao to say whether to guard against these people in the dark or against Bu Mu Butai.

Zhu Xu thought about it, and said, "What's unusual about the imperial court recently?"

Sun Chuanting said: "Everything is stable, but this matter, I believe, is not a simple matter, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated to calm people's hearts."

Zhu Xu patted his hand on the table lightly, his eyes flickered coldly, and said: "The investigation must be thoroughly investigated, but it cannot be investigated with great fanfare. This matter will be handed over to the Military Intelligence Department to investigate. If any clues are found, Report to me immediately."

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu, quickly understood, and said, "Yes, I understand. Then, do you want to make some arrangements?"

Zhu Xu leaned on the chair, looked at the two playbooks, shook his head directly and said: "No need, don't move anyone, don't let anyone disclose, this matter, you alone need to know about it, and have full power to deal with it!"

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu's expression, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, I understand."

Zhu Xu didn't move, just sat there and said, "What did Mr. Sun Ge say?"

Sun Chuanting said: "Mr. Sun Ge is preparing for the big hunt. His opinion is the same as that of the emperor, and he will check it quietly."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said: "Well, let's do it like this. There should be no unnecessary actions on the side of the cabinet. Just check as you want, don't startle the snake, and everything will be as usual."

Sun Chuanting said: "Yes, I understand."

Zhu Xu explained a few more words, looking at Sun Chuanting's back, his eyes flickered slightly.

Little Yongning knew that Zhu Xu was talking about something serious, so he stood aside obediently and did not say a word.

Cao Huachun stood even further away, not far from the door.

Zhu Xu sat on the chair with a calm face, but his heart was overwhelmed with thoughts.

Dong Nuan Pavilion was quiet for a while, Zhu Xu suddenly looked forward and said, "Cao Huachun, tell me, why didn't Sun Chengzong come in person, instead let Sun Chuanting come?"
