Chapter 1174 Coincidentally a little fake
It was the end of July in a blink of an eye. The sun above the Ming Dynasty was like a stove, pouring down all the heat, covering every corner of the Ming Dynasty.
Even with ice and charcoal, Zhu Xu's Ganqing Palace's East Warehouse is still unbearable, like a steaming room.
Xiao Yongning stood opposite Zhu Xu and said coquettishly: "Uncle, I want to go too. I can ride a horse and shoot arrows..."
Zhu Xu flipped through the memorial in his hand and filled in a few strokes from time to time. He seemed to have not heard the little girl's words.
Xiao Yongning looked at Zhu Xu, his eyes turned pale, and he 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 of the palace to play..."
Zhu Xu picked up the memorial book and knocked it on her head, saying, "Another nonsense, I will lock you up in the woodshed. Okay, I don't have time to pay attention to you, so I will go back and forth."
The little girl was about to refute, but Cao Huachun came in and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Baigu is asking for a meeting."
Zhu Xu didn't raise his head and said, "Accurate."
Cao Huachun responded, and then Sun Chuanting, who was wearing regular clothes, came in, glanced at him, raised his hand and said, "My minister, Sun Chuanting, meets the emperor."
Zhu Xu raised his head and said directly: "What's the matter?"
Sun Chuanting glanced at Xiao Yongning and handed over a memorial, saying, "Your Majesty, the Anti-Corruption Bureau conducted a survey on Nanzhili, and accidentally discovered that there were some secrets in the Shenlong Mansion and did not report the memorial truth."
Zhu Xu glanced at him again, picked up the memorial, and flipped it out.
This memorial did not say much, but only involved the Shenlong Mansion from the corruption case in Nanzhili. From this, it was discovered that the account details given to the court of Shenlong Mansion were incorrect, and many names did not appear on it, which means that the Shenlong Mansion embezzled a lot of money without hiding it from the court.
The specific anti-corruption bureau is unknown, but inferred that it may be as high as two million taels of silver.
This is definitely a big deal for the government and the opposition. In the Ming Dynasty, it may be the number one major corruption case.
But there is another strange thing here. The strange thing is that the Shenlong Mansion is actually Zhu Xu's private territory, and it also manages Bumubutai, who is the quasi-consored "Mrs. Chen". What are they afraid of this money?
Or, was it quietly entering the treasury?
Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu's calm expression and felt moved. But no matter what, since he found out, Zhu Xu needed to give an explanation so that the Anti-Corruption Bureau could be measured.
Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, but there was a strange movement in his heart.
He really didn't know about these things. He didn't say anything about Bumubutai's account book, and no one came.
‘This looks like smuggling?’
Zhu Xu muttered in his heart that these books and names were completely different from those submitted by Bumubutai, and the goods, time and ships they transported all seemed strange, as if they were smuggling without hiding from the Shenlong Mansion.
But if this is the case, why can’t the Anti-Corruption Bureau see it? Why must it be reported to him? Even Sun Chuanting came here in person?
Zhu Xu looked up at Sun Chuanting and said lightly: "What do you think?"
Sun Chuanting did not speak, and had an extra copy of the memorial in his hand, saying: "Emperor, the Military Intelligence Department reported secretly that it seems that someone is connecting the generals and governors from all over the country, trying to rebel."
Zhu Xu blinked at him, quickly took the memoir and started reading it.
During an investigation, the Military Information Department found a letter and had a lot of lists attached to his heart, including Jin Guoqi, Liu Dai and others who guarded the capital camp, as well as Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew, who were trusted by Zhu Xu.
This letter lists 58 crimes by Zhu Xu, and calls on these people to contact each other, attempting to imprison Zhu Xu behind the palace and kill foolish officials in front of the palace, and there is a bright and bright breeze!
Zhu Xu became more and more puzzled. Shenlong Mansion, Cao Wenzhao? What is this?
Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, I believe that some people are secretly trying to alienate our wise ruler and minister, and they have to be careful."
Whether it is Bumubutai from Shenlong Mansion or Cao Wenzhao, who is now carrying the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, is all Zhu Xu's close friends and a person who is highly dependent on him. If he turns against him, it will have a great impact on the Ming Dynasty.
But it is hard to say whether Sun Chuanting said "must be careful" whether to prevent these people in the dark or Bumu Butai.
Zhu Xu's thoughts flew around and said, "What's wrong with the imperial court recently?"
Sun Chuanting said: "It's all stable, but I believe that this matter is not simple, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated to calm people's hearts."
Zhu Xu patted his hand gently on the table, his eyes flashed slightly coldly, and said, "It is necessary to investigate thoroughly, but we cannot investigate it with great fanfare. Let me leave this matter to the Military Information Department to investigate. If you find any clues, come and report it immediately."
Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu and quickly understood, saying, "Yes, I understand. So, have some arrangements?"
Zhu Xu leaned on the chair, looked at the two memoirs, shook his head and said, "No, don't move anyone, don't reveal anyone. You can just know about this matter alone, and you have the full responsibility 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, sat there and said, "What did Master Sun say?"
Sun Chuanting said: "Old Master Sun is preparing for the hunting matter. His opinion is just like the emperor, and he is silently investigating."
Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "Well, then that's it. Don't do extra moves in the cabinet. Check as much as you should. Don't alert the snake, everything will be the same as usual."
Sun Chuanting said: "Yes, I understand."
Zhu Xu explained a few more words, looking at Sun Chuanting's back, his eyes flashed slightly.
Xiao Yongning knew that Zhu Xu was talking about serious things, so he stood aside honestly and obediently without saying a word.
Cao Huachun stood even further away, not far away from the door.
Zhu Xu sat on the chair, his face calm, his heart was filled with pain and his thoughts were tide.
The East Nuan Pavilion was quiet for a while, and Zhu Xu suddenly looked forward and said, "Cao Huachun, why did Sun Chengzong not come in person, but instead let Sun Chuanting come?"
Cao Huachun was shocked, turned around, and after a while, he said, "I don't know."
Zhu Xu looked at him and did not continue to speak, but his eyes flashed like lightning and could not stop.
Sun Chuanting is still a little tender after all, not as good as Sun Chengzong, who has more than 50 people in the officialdom. Sun Chuanting clearly made a gun for Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chengzong deliberately pushed him up.
Whether it is the suspected "corruption" suddenly discovered by the Shenlong Mansion or Cao Wenzhao, Jin Guoqi might have been connected without knowing it, these should be considered top secrets, but now, they have been "accidentally discovered" almost at the same time and are placed on his desk.
It's such a coincidence, it seems like someone can arrange it.
This is not important. What is important is that people who deliberately arrange things are not simple, and their methods are cruel and touching people's hearts. If an ordinary emperor knew about it, Bumubutai, the generals in the letter, would be afraid that they would be dead in his heart.
