Chapter 206 The Emperor Wants Chu Lixuan to Die
The eldest prince was extremely angry, why did Chu Lijie want to wrong him now?
Where did you learn that this prince did not treat his eldest sister well?
He also blames his father for being so confused. His father never understands his feelings of being wronged.
This was not the first time that the eldest prince had been wronged. What made him most aggrieved this time was that he could not speak out about being wronged, or even have emotions.
At this moment, his father's look confirmed that he was lying and shirking responsibility. The eldest prince wanted to tear Chu Lijie to pieces.
If someone wrongly accused him, the eldest prince would only be angry, not aggrieved, because he would kill the person directly.
However, he knew that he could not kill the villain Chu Lijie, otherwise his father would be even more disappointed in him.
The eldest prince is not ignorant of the fact that no one can avoid being wronged, and it is also inevitable to wrong others.
How could he only feel happy when he wronged his brothers?
However, he has never been wronged by a lowly commoner, and he can't do anything to them!
This was the most frustrating and uncomfortable thing. He wanted to cut up Concubine Chu when he went back and drink her blood to relieve his hatred.
How unreasonable! How dare the Chu family father and son insult him like this!
The eldest prince cried and said: "Father, please believe me. I really did not take the property of the Chu family."
The eldest prince did not dare to swear, because he did take dowry from several warehouses, but the dowry in only one warehouse was very rich.
Others are ordinary dowries, and I don’t know whose dowries they are. Many people in the Houfu have dowries.
For example, his eldest princess's aunt, the old lady of the Hou Mansion, Prime Minister Jiang's daughter, and many female relatives of the second wife of the Chu family.
The eldest prince did not go to do the inventory himself, it was all reported to him by his subordinates.
In the end, under the death gaze of his father, the eldest prince could only agree to hand it all over to the Ministry of Revenue.
Master Wei, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was the father of Wei Dabin who had knelt in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and threatened to resign with death.
Recently, many ministers have been fiercely demanding to resign. There is chaos outside the city, and the capital is also very depressed.
Emperor Dongchen got the "property of the Marquis" as he wished, but he didn't have time to feel happy in his heart.
He was hit by a piece of bombshell news that made Long Yan furious, and he fell down in anger.
Because all the refugees outside the city retreated overnight, and they all spontaneously went to farm in nearby villages.
This was originally a good thing, but the most disgusting thing was that the refugees spread rumors about the emperor, who was suspicious and ruthless and cruel.
The Marquis of Zhennan sacrificed his life to protect the Dongchen Kingdom, but was sent to the bitter and cold northern border by the emperor's suspicion.
The Marquis of Zhennan was also beaten to the point of paralysis by an official. He was always lying in the carriage and could not take care of himself.
Rumors also say that although this world belongs to the Xuanyuan family and no one in the world dares to speak out about the emperor's right or wrong, God has opened his eyes.
He sent "Master Locust" down to the mortal world to punish the people of Dongchen, asking why the people of Dongchen should forget the hard work and achievements of Zhennanhou...
The refugees no longer expect the Holy Father to take care of their people. They want to remember Zhennan Hou's contribution from generation to generation.
Because the emperor did not dare to go against God! Therefore, he ordered all the cities to close their gates to avoid God's punishment.
There were many kind-hearted aristocratic families who led their entire clansmen to pursue Zhennanhou and head north.
Food and seeds were also given to the refugees fleeing the famine, so that the refugees would have hope in the future.
Emperor Dongchen, who was originally happy that the refugees had finally retreated, was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood when he heard the report from Jin Yiwei and Longyingwei.
Where did he give the order to close the city gate? He also wanted to give food to the refugees fleeing famine!
Although he is the emperor of Dongchen, he is so poor that he has integrity!
Both the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury were extremely poor, and the treasury was cleaner than his face!
"Long Yingwei, check it out for me. You must find out where the rumors originated."
"Yes, I will leave." The leader of the Long Shadow Guards left with a worried look on his face.
"Jin Yiwei, come in."
"I'm here," the commander of the Jinyi Guards said, kneeling on the floor of the royal study room.
"Aren't you Jin Yiwei following Marquis Zhennan all the time? Why haven't you given me any news recently?"
"As for returning to the emperor, I haven't received their letter for a long time."
"How do you become a commander? If your subordinates don't have any information, why don't you send someone to deliver it?"
Commander of the Jin Yiwei:...
"Trash, I raised you bunch of trash for nothing."
Commander of the Jinyiwei: ...In the past year, it seems that we have been supporting ourselves. We, the Jinyiwei, have not received monthly payment for a year.
Did Your Majesty forget it? You always said you would provide for us!
This is the money collected by a few aristocratic families in our Jinyiwei to give everyone’s monthly salary!
Besides, you are the one who always wants us to go all out to track down the theft case. Since Zhennan Hou can’t make any trouble, why don’t you just leave it alone for the time being?
"Hurry up and send a message to Feige to escort Zhennanhou's men and see how they are doing now?" Have they starved to death?
If he starves to death, then surely it’s God who bless him!
That way the rumors would be self-defeating, and he wouldn't have to bear the infamy of killing Zhongliang! How great!
Emperor Dongchen, how much he hopes that Chu Lixuan will starve to death at this moment!
If he had known that so many things would happen, he would never have touched the Marquis of Zhennan. Chu Lixuan was already as ugly as he wanted, and lost another leg.
Even the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who had been determined to marry him until life and death, was unwilling to marry him, and asked a fool to marry her instead.
Emperor Dongchen also regrets deeply in his heart now, but he is the emperor, so it is impossible for his ministers to know that he regrets.
He always feels confidently that there is nothing wrong with me, it is all your problem. If I have a problem, it must be all caused by you...
"I obey the order, and I will send the messenger pigeon now." The commander of the Jin Yiwei followed the order and exited the imperial study.
In fact, the commander of Jinyiwei had already sent out many carrier pigeons when he learned of the rumors.
It has been several days. Logically, I should have received a reply, but the carrier pigeon has not returned.
Could it be that Zhao Yu was not found, so the carrier pigeon was still looking for it? Is it possible that Zhao Yu and the others had starved to death?
None of the inns along the way can be entered. Jin Yiwei recently left the city and learned that not to mention weeds on the mountains, there was not even a trace of tree bark, and not even a wild dog could be seen on the road.
According to the refugees who survived, they relied on tree bark to satisfy their hunger, and the bolder ones survived on corpses.
Zhao Yu's superior said that according to Zhao Yu's temperament, he would never eat human flesh to survive. So, he would definitely starve to death!
And Chu Lixuan was being cared about by the emperor, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and the Long Shadow Guards.
Not only did he not die, he lived happily. After another month of walking, their exile team finally arrived in Youzhou. At this time, everything in Youzhou was covered with snow and the snow on the ground was deep.
