Chapter 260 A Account
The day, the King of Chu came back very late and arrived home in midnight.
The Princess Chu has not slept, leaving a light waiting for him. "Why did you come back so late today? I heard that the Empress of the Morning Palace left you in the palace, what was the purpose of?" Princess Chu stood up and asked in a dress. "Lying down!" said the King of Chu, "Isn't someone involved in me? Your Majesty left the memorial and didn't send it. He called me alone and asked what was going on."
"Is it still the matter of Yu Fengshan?" The Princess Chu was worried. "You asked Mr. Huaying to take action! Avoid making the big deal. Didn't he say he had many handles of King Zhao? Don't lie to us." "You! He has long hair and short knowledge." The King of Chu warned his wife, "If Mr. Huaying heard this, he would promise not to come to the door again." "I'm also anxious." The Princess Chu said, "If Your Majesty blames you..." "Don't you worry about anything, don't fuck you," the King of Chu said, "Let's make people look stupid, it's not a material to make trouble." "But..." The Princess Chu wanted to say something else, but the King of Chu had already blew out the light, "Sleep, let's talk about something when there is something going on." "
On the second day of the court, King Zhao took the initiative to talk to King Chu: "I didn't sleep well last night, why did I look tired?" The King of Chu said with a hawk, "Your Majesty stayed in the palace yesterday. It was indeed a bit late to go back, but business affairs would not be delayed at all." "Haha, yes, it would not be a big deal to not sleep all night, and business affairs would not be delayed. But if you have too much selfishness, it would be very hindering to official affairs." King Zhao also smiled.
They both had something in their words, and the ministers waiting to attend court naturally felt it, but no one interrupted.
There were two ministers from the Ministry of Personnel in the court to report to the King of Chu. The matters they were concerned about were consistent with the contents of the previous memorandum to the emperor.
It seems that the memorial yesterday was throwing a stone to ask for directions, and today I have spoken out in public.
The King of Chu was naturally prepared and tried his best to defend himself.
People who are close to him on weekdays also stood up and talked to him.
When the noise was clamoring for a long time, the emperor felt impatient and asked everyone to stop first.
Then asked King Zhao: "What do you think about this?"
King Zhao walked up and said, "It is difficult to tell the truth about the two officials of the Ministry of Personnel for a while. In the opinion of the minister, it is necessary to investigate carefully."
"Since that's the case, you can leave this matter to you." The emperor threw the errand directly to King Zhao, "If you find out, report it to me. Now that the snow in Longxi has been heavy snow, the houses have collapsed, and the soldiers guarding the border are also at the risk of food being cut off. This matter is more important, and it needs to be discussed and dealt with as soon as possible."
The ministers naturally put down the King of Chu in advance after hearing the emperor's words. After all, there is always a priority in matters, especially state affairs, which cannot be careless.
After going down the court, King Zhao looked at King Chu and smiled, without saying a word.
The King of Chu knew that he was waiting for him to bow to him.
If the emperor asked him to investigate himself, wouldn’t that mean entrusting his life and death to him?
But the King of Chu only smiled at King Zhao, and then walked out with his chest raised and his head raised.
Seeing him like this, everyone thought he had a clear conscience and was afraid of investigation. Only King Zhao sneered in his heart and decided to give him some colors. When the King of Chu returned home, he ordered people to prepare wine and food, and he and Mr. Huaying drank.
The Princess Chu couldn't help but worry when she heard about the things in the court, but she couldn't ask her face to ask, so she said to the person who served her, "Look, don't let the prince get drunk. If he comes out to get rid of his hands, ask him what to do today? At least let Mr. Huaying asks her for a brief moment.
He has come to our mansion for some time, but he has never seen him go out. What should I do? "
After a while, the servant came back and reported to the Princess Chu: "The prince said he would not doubt the employer. He would not doubt the person. Please rest as soon as possible. "
But Princess Zhao didn't have the heart to rest, so she just sat in the room.
After a while, she was suspicious again. Thinking that Mr. Huaying was not the same as King Zhao, she came to her home on purpose so that the King of Chu was careless.
When she thought of this, she couldn't sit still and said to the maid who was serving in front of her, "No, I'll be crazy if I continue like this. Change my clothes for me. I'll go and ask Mr. Huaying in person. ”
She came to the Gongjuzhai where King Chu and Huaying drank. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she saw the butler rushing over.
I was also surprised to see the Princess Chu here, so I stopped and said, "Two people came to the back door, saying that they had something to do to find Mr. Huaying."
The two people who came were also dressed in night walks, and they were from the Sanzhi Academy.
Mr. Huaying was slightly drunk and said with a smile: "I'm brave enough to ask the princess to sit down?"
No mistakes are made, one song, one content, one book, one book, one bar, one reading!
The King of Chu looked at the princess and felt a little unhappy, and told her that she would never listen.
But since Mr. Huaying spoke, he was not inconvenient to say anything. He smiled and said, "Since it was a gentleman who invited me, it would be better to obey your orders."
The Princess of Chu did not care whether the King of Chu was happy or not. In short, today we must ask clearly what to do about this matter.
"Did you two come from Daishan?" Mr. Huaying asked the two people, "How is the matter done?"
"We have completely eliminated the gambling shop where King Zhao opened. The account book has been collected here, and the important people are all looking at it." The older one among the two took out a account book from his arms, "Please check it out."
Mr. Huaying took it, glanced a little and handed it to the King of Chu: "Prince, please see, King Zhao set up such a secret gambling shop nearly a hundred miles from the capital. While providing the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital for fun, he also helped them to release the shameful money to make a profit."
"Oh? There is such a thing!" The King of Chu took the account and saw the amount of money on it, which was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking.
Some of the people above are senior officials in the court, some have hereditary nobles, and even many names that he unexpectedly has on it. "This... is this thing real?" Princess Chu was incredulous and couldn't help asking.
"It is easy to test whether this thing is true or false," Mr. Huaying smiled. "The prince tore off one from the top, pack some tea leaves, and order someone to send it to King Zhao. If it is true, he naturally dare not check you again, and he will cover it up in front of His Majesty. If it is false, then I don't need to say it."
The King of Chu was very happy when he heard this. He looked at it and pulled off a piece from the top. He casually wrapped a little tea.
Then ordered someone to put it in a box and seal it, and said to the butler: "This is something that others can't do, so you can send it in person! I just said that this is a rare good tea, please ask King Zhao to taste it."
The butler hurried out after hearing this.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the wind was very strong outside, and it was howling and screaming, as if it was about to tear the sky apart.
