?? When Yuan Kangdi just woke up today, he felt a tightness in his chest and throbbing pain in his temples.

??He looked up at the cloudy weather outside, only to feel that ominous premonition was getting stronger.

?? "Zhang Fu," he coughed twice, "What time is it?"

?? Zhang Fu waited on him to change his clothes and put on his shoes, and replied: "Your Majesty, it will be early morning in two quarters of an hour. Would you like some rice porridge first? The servant also saw that the imperial dining room made new pastries..."

?? Yuan Kangdi shook his head: "I won't eat."

?? Zhang Fu looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said..."

?? Emperor Yuankang ignored him, coughed for a while, and drank half a cup of tea before he recovered.

?? His own body, he naturally knows.

?? Nothing serious - he's just old, that's all.

At the time of Mao, Emperor Yuankang was supported by Zhang Fu and came to the Golden Palace.

??He looked up and saw Guan Lin, and his mood was a little pale: "Guan Qing, have you been in the Political Affairs Hall for the past two days, are you going well?"

?? Guan Lin bowed his head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, everything in the Political Affairs Hall is suitable."

Emperor Yuankang smiled, and was about to turn his head to ask other ministers, but Guan Lin said again: "But I have something important to report, and the matter is of great importance."

?? Emperor Yuankang's smile froze, and then he regained his composure: "Oh? Guan Qing said to take a look."

??Guan Lin stepped forward, pulled up his robe and knelt down: "The report, Fan Zhengchu, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, embezzled and accepted bribes, sold officials and lords, and privately amassed millions of taels. A total of 130 Beijing officials were involved, including 43 from the fifth rank and above. ...Please also ask Your Majesty to learn from you."

??Fan Zhengchu was watching his heart from the sidelines, drowsy, and suddenly he was punched by the news.

?? His eyes widened: "Master Guan, what are you talking about?"

??The servant of the household department, Xu Zhi, also continued: "Master Guan, you have nothing to prove, are you wronging people for nothing?"

??The voices of several officials resounded in the Golden Palace one after another. Guan Lin didn't change his expression: "This is evidence, please take a look at it."

?? He took out the ledger from his pocket, Zhang Fu took it tremblingly, and handed it to Emperor Yuankang.Fan Zhengchu's heart stopped for a moment when he saw the ledger, but he clearly remembered that he kept his ledger with him all the time, never leaving it for a moment!

?? Then what happened to the one in Guan Lin's hand? !

?? Emperor Yuan Kang squinted his eyes, turned a few pages of the booklet in his hand, and his face darkened.

"Fan Qing," Yuan Kangdi felt the suffocation in his chest getting worse, "is this thing real?"

"Your Majesty! I don't know!"

??Fan Zhengchu wailed and knelt down, his face full of shock and innocence: "I don't know when I provoked Mr. Guan, and let Mr. Guan deliberately put such a big hat on the minister's head... The minister is terrified, His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Governor Fan has been in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years. He has made great efforts to rule the country and is kind and caring for the people. The relevant reports have been recorded in the previous case file," a Beijing official who was promoted from the local area next to him said solemnly, "The merits of the governor, the people of Jiangnan It is obvious to all, how can Lord Guan slander people so much?"

??The second prince said aside: "Father, it's just a booklet, and you can forge it at will with a little thought. It's a little bit reluctant to use it to convict."

??He frowned again: "Lord Guan, not all cases are misjudged like the prefect Meng. You have repeatedly asked to reverse the case. Are you questioning the verdict of the father?"

?? Emperor Yuan Kang's eyes returned to Guan Lin, and his brows were furrowed.

?? Guan Lin remained motionless: "Your Majesty, I dare not bully you."

??His tone was decisive, which obviously meant that he was convinced of the authenticity of this booklet, but how could Fan Zhengchu not know that the authentic product was in his arms!

??He became more and more convinced that the book that Guan Lin handed over was a fake, and kowtowed a little harder: "Your Majesty! The loyalty of my ministers is a lesson from heaven and earth! If I really do something that is worthy of His Majesty's grace, It will make the minister not die well!"

"Father!" The fifth prince who had been waiting beside him said, "The matter is of great importance. Why don't you study the evidence presented by Mr. Guan before considering it?"

"Your Highness Fifth, if this is false, what is there to study?" Xu Zhi shook his head and sighed.

?? There were quite a few voices speaking for Fan Zhengchu, but the faction of the Five Princes popped up one after another, arguing for Guan Lin.Emperor Yuankang was in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to the situation that gave him a headache again two months ago.

?? Stalemate, voices erupted.

?? so troublesome!

?? Emperor Yuankang took a deep breath and was about to lose his temper when a young eunuch came to report him outside the palace:

?? "Your Majesty, the Forbidden Army asked to see Fu Luyu, and said that they sent witnesses and physical evidence for His Majesty. Please learn from me!"

??The hall suddenly fell silent, and Emperor Yuankang pressed the root of the mountain: "Send him to come in."

?? Lu Yu stepped into the golden palace, followed by Miss Su who was trembling behind her. She was supported by a nun, with her head lowered all the time, with a panicked look on her face.

?? When Fan Zhengchu saw her for the first time, his face turned pale.

?? How could this woman appear here!

?? Then his bank outside Beijing...? !

??More than that, behind Miss Su, several soldiers from the forbidden army dragged a few dead soldiers who had been knocked out into the palace. The dead soldiers had their tongues pulled out to prevent suicide by swallowing medicine. They were still unconscious at this time. But their appearance is the biggest witness.

?? More than that, the steward of Fan's mansion was tied up and escorted in. He didn't have the strength of a dead man, and he didn't dare to commit suicide. His hair was messed up, and even his lips were white.

"Your Majesty," Lu Yu saluted Emperor Yuankang, then looked at Fan Zhengchu next to him, "I wonder if Master Fan is familiar with these people?"

"I don't know you!" Fan Zhengchu said hoarsely, "Your Majesty, this little boy, I don't know where to find some fake witnesses, trying to slander the minister!"

"Oh, I don't know," Lu Yu nodded, "Miss Su, can you tell me about your life experience and what happened since you entered Beijing?"

??Miss Su trembled, and when her knees softened, she was about to kneel down: "Minister...Minister Su Zhi, I have met the emperor..."

"Get up," Emperor Yuan Kang looked at her bloated body and frowned, "Look up, look at me, and tell me, what is your relationship with Fan Zhengchu?"

"Minnv is... a person raised by Lord Fan outside the mansion." Su Zhi said softly.

??Then she explained how she became Fan Zhengchu's concubine and why she came to Beijing in detail. She has no culture and her words are simple, but the information revealed between the lines is enough to set off the Fan Zhengchu's wealthy family background.

What's more, she said that in the Zhuangzi she lived in, she could only stay in her own yard, and could not go anywhere else, and there were men in uniform clothes patrolling the Zhuangzi every day.

?? She also said that the housekeeper of Fan Mansion would come here sometimes. She asked the housekeeper why he was here, and the other party only said that he was here to get some "household".

??As for the things in the other yards, there is no need to guess anymore - because Lu Yu has already sent a brigade of forbidden troops to surround the bank, and brought back several boxes of things hidden in the yard in advance.

??The box was moved into the Golden Palace by the imperial army, and it was heavy. When I opened it, I found that it was neatly stacked, and it was full of 50 taels of silver ingots.

?? There are thousands of taels of ingots in this box.

??In the bank, there are countless such boxes, let alone other treasures.

?? "Your Majesty, I also found something from Zhuangzi." Finally, Lu Yu finally put down the heavy hammer. He casually glanced at the stiff second prince beside him, and said, "It's a letter... from the second prince." A letter from the Prince's Mansion."

"In the letter, the Second Highness said that Mr. Fan should make great efforts to collect money without caring about the life and death of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, because they are all 'bad lives' and will not benefit his great cause." Lu Yu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to him. Zhang Fu, "Hey, just now, which adult said that evidence can be forged? It seems to be the Second Highness, so why don't His Highness read this letter, there is your unique private seal on it."

"Father!" The second prince suddenly knelt down.

??Fan Zhengchu's behavior of accumulating money can also be explained as insatiable greed.

?? But adding a slain man and a prince, that's a certain plot of treason.

?? Emperor Yuankang's face was as dark as water.

??He finished reading the letter quietly, and his cold eyes swept over everyone kneeling in the hall, as well as the evidence and witnesses.

??Fan Zhengchu's heart turned cold when he saw him, kowtowed his head desperately, blood was seen on the stone floor: "Your Majesty! I was wronged! Your Majesty!!"

"Wronged?" Emperor Yuankang chuckled, "Are you wronged?"

?? "So many witnesses! Evidence! Even the ledger is in my hands!" Emperor Yuan Kang slammed the letter in his hand, "You told me that you were wronged?!"

"Your Majesty!!" Fan Zhengchu burst into tears.

"And you..." Emperor Yuankang took a deep breath, "How did you live up to... what I expect from you?"

??The second prince raised his head in a panic: "Father, my son has no other thoughts! Everything is done by that old dog! Father!"

?? He crawled forward and knelt in front of Emperor Yuankang's knees, "Father, I just want to help you solve your problems..."

?? "You want to make me mad!" Emperor Yuankang said angrily, "You are seven years older than Xiaowu! But you don't look like an older brother at all! I want to sharpen you, but you let me down so far!"

?? "Get off! Don't get in the way of me!!"

??He raised his foot and kicked the second prince's chest, kicking the latter back a few steps staggeringly, then he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair heavily: "Come on, give me these people..."

?? "Royal father."

??The second prince lowered his head, and suddenly said, "Did you really expect me?"

?? Emperor Yuankang stared: "What did you say?"

"My son asked, do you really want to stand up to me?" The second prince grabbed his robe tightly, veins appeared on the back of his hand, "I entered politics a few years earlier than the fifth son, and I have a solid foundation in the court. Sleeping and forgetting to eat and sleep for the auxiliary government... But my mother and concubine don't please you, never have."

"So you never wanted to set me up, but you always thought about the fifth child, what am I? It's just a whetstone to sharpen him," the second prince said with scarlet eyes, "Father, the snow is heavy in winter, you You can think about someone giving him a bowl of ginger soup in Zhengshitang, but you always forget that you have a son beside you."

"Father, you have never refused to look at me... Then what's wrong with me planning for myself?"

?? "What nonsense are you talking about!" Emperor Yuankang said angrily.

?? "Father," the second prince looked at him fixedly, "You are old, it's time for you to let me go."

?? "Come on!"

?? A large number of forbidden troops poured into the Golden Palace, the screams of the little eunuch came, and Yuan Kangdi turned white while pressing the knuckles of the handrail: "You——"

??The second prince Shi Shiran got up and grinned—he didn't expect to force the palace so soon. After all, Emperor Yuankang was about to die, so he could wait.

?? These people forced him to take out the last hand of the forbidden army.

?? He turned his head, ready to ask the commander of the Imperial Army to take down everyone in the hall.Who knew that it wasn't Dou Sheng who came in, but Dou Sheng's deputy, what's his name?

??The second prince didn't think about it for a while, he glanced coldly at the trembling ministers in the hall, frowned and asked, "Where is Dou Sheng?"

??Unexpectedly, that person didn't even look at him, and knelt down on one knee towards Emperor Yuankang who was sitting on the seat!

?? "Your Highness, I am late to save you!"

The soldiers rushed over and detained the second prince and Fan Zhengchu. The second prince's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked in disbelief: "Where is Dou Sheng?! Why don't you listen to my highness! Dou Sheng is my highness, You should obey me!"

"Second Highness," Lu Yu smiled, "Don't worry, General Dou is waiting for you outside."

??The second prince looked at him in disbelief: "You..."

?? Lu Yu stepped forward, knelt at the same place as Guan Lin, and bowed to Emperor Yuankang: "Your Majesty, all the rebellious officials and thieves have been captured by the imperial army. Please forgive me."

?? "Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Qi Juxian said loudly.

?? "Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The imperial guards in the palace spoke in unison.

?? Emperor Yuankang pressed the dragon chair hard. He stared at the second prince under the seat. He only felt the suffocation in his chest, his eyes were wide open, and he spat out a mouthful of hot blood suddenly.

??The author has something to say: Emperor Yuankang: mmp, this emperor is wrong, I am so mad

??Fifth Prince: I don't know what happened, but it seems that the competitor blew himself up, so am I going to lie down and win?
