Wu Feng never expected that the princess's plan was to have him pretend to be a soldier from the Nanling Kingdom to rob the treasury!
"Princess, there have been wars one after another, and a lot of money has been spent. Although there have been no wars in the past year, natural disasters have continued. Even if the treasury does have it, there will not be much money." Wu Feng told Xie Yao the situation of the treasury.
.
Xie Yao smiled lightly, "Although you are going to rob the national treasury, your main purpose is not money, but destruction!"
"Destruction?" Wu Feng was even more confused.
"Smash whatever you see and tear up whatever you see! As long as those antiques, calligraphy and paintings are destructible, destroy them all and leave nothing behind!"
Emperor Zhaochu captured Chu Han, captured her, and destroyed the Xie family, just to secure his position and to make Chu Ye's throne more secure.
In this case, there is no need for her to be polite to the treasury.
She was curious, if the treasury was empty and Emperor Zhaochu passed the throne to Chu Ye, would Chu Ye refuse?
You know, an empty treasury is a huge disaster for a newly succeeded emperor!
"Yes!" Wu Feng still didn't understand the purpose of the princess's actions, but since it was the princess's order, he could just do it.
"Everything moved out of the treasury will be moved to Prince Yue's Mansion." Xie Yao said again, her eyes twinkling.
As soon as Wu Feng heard the words 'Prince Yue's Mansion', he instantly understood Xie Yao's intention, his eyes brightened, "Princess, are you trying to frame this matter to the Prince of Yue?"
The people who forced the palace were wearing the clothes of Nanling Kingdom, and now they are wearing them again, and they are robbing the national treasury!
Xie Yao nodded slowly, "Just do it, don't have any scruples."
"Yes! A humble position will definitely make things worse!" Wu Feng felt strong in his heart. After speaking solemnly, he turned around and left.
At this time, Wu Feng was completely different from the hesitant one when he came.
Xie Yao watched Wu Feng leave with a cold glint in his eyes.
Those soldiers from Nanling Kingdom were originally brought here by Chu Yue, and they almost killed her and Chu Han!
Now that the robbery of the treasury is being blamed on Chu Yue, it can be regarded as a courtesy exchange at best.
When things got serious, no matter how much Emperor Zhaochu didn't want to investigate the assassin, he had to restart the investigation!
Because the imperial edict of Emperor Zhao Chu clearly stated that Chu Han was the leader of those who forced him into the palace and then carried out the assassination. Now that the people who forced him into the palace reappeared, but Chu Han was in prison, it naturally made people suspicious!
Everything depends on the situation tomorrow and then adapt accordingly.
Thinking of this, she looked far into the distance, towards the direction where Emperor Zhaochu was imprisoning Chu Han.
…
Before dawn, the huge palace was already bustling with activity.
It's not because I'm busy, but because something big has happened, something huge - the national treasury has been robbed!
For a time, rumors spread everywhere. Some said it was robbers sent from heaven, while others said it was an enemy spy. There were different opinions.
Xie Yao only found out the news after getting up after dawn. She secretly smiled in her heart: Wu Feng is really fast.
But that’s fine, the sooner there is movement, the sooner we will know the result.
She glanced in the direction of the royal study, with a coldness in the corners of her eyes.
By now, Emperor Zhaochu should have already gone to court.
In fact it is so.
Emperor Zhaochu was currently in his study room, his face ashen.
A circle of ministers were kneeling below, not daring to take a breath.
The national treasury was robbed, all valuable things that could be taken away were taken away, and everything that could not be taken away was destroyed. It was a complete mess!
The national treasury, which was not full to begin with, could not withdraw even a single copper coin at this moment.
The most important thing is that none of them can find a clue!
At this time, a royal guard came in and reported, "Your Majesty, someone has seen people entering and exiting the treasury wearing the same clothes as the thieves who forced the palace! And the treasury guard who woke up said that the opponent was very strong and could use the art of combined attacks.
"
One sentence, like a bomb, woke up all the ministers in the room.
"Your Majesty! It must be the work of thieves who forced the palace! They couldn't attack by force. It's like they robbed the treasury of money and absconded with the money!"
"I second the proposal! They are so bold, they must be the thieves who are forcing the palace! Please send an edict immediately and send troops to pursue them! They must not be far away with so much money, and they will definitely be caught and brought to justice!"
"I second the proposal! These thieves have repeatedly committed serious mistakes. If they are not punished severely, they may make other countries laugh at them! Please make an order immediately, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an edict!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an edict!"
For a time, all the ministers believed that the person who robbed the treasury was the person who forced the palace!
Hearing this, Emperor Zhaochu's face turned darker, and his cold eyes swept over the kneeling ministers below.
"Your Majesty, since those thieves have robbed the treasury again, it proves that King Han is not the one who colluded with those thieves! Why not send King Han to lead the troops to arrest them, we will definitely catch all the thieves in the shortest time! Let the power of the Wanqi Kingdom shine!"
The minister suddenly thought.
Emperor Zhaochu suddenly felt a headache, rubbed it vigorously with his hands, closed his eyes and did not want to speak.
At this time, Eunuch Liu came in and reported, "Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Chen wishes to see you."
"Xuan." Emperor Zhaochu opened his eyes.
"yes."
Eunuch Liu stepped back, followed by Chu Ye who walked in, bowed and saluted, "I have met my father."
"Pingshen, what do you want from me?" Emperor Zhaochu's eyes became more energetic and his face looked a little better.
"My son discovered some news and wants to report it to my father."
"explain."
"Er Chen's men discovered suspicious people at night. They came out of the treasury carrying a large package and left in a sneaky way." Chu Ye leaned forward and said.
Upon hearing this, the ministers immediately became interested.
"King Chen, those are the thieves who forced the palace! Which direction did they go to?"
"That's right! As long as you find them, you can find the mastermind behind the forced labor!"
Emperor Zhaochu's face suddenly sank, and he scolded coldly, "Shut up!"
For an instant, the Imperial Study was completely silent.
Emperor Zhaochu looked at Chu Ye with slightly deeper eyes.
Chu Ye knew clearly his purpose of asking Chu Han, so why did he take the initiative to provide clues?
Chu Ye noticed Emperor Zhaochu's scrutinizing gaze and said bluntly: "Father, although I learned this news from my subordinates, many people in the capital also saw it, and it has already spread. It has already spread.
Please father, please act as soon as possible, and then inform the people of the truth and stabilize their hearts."
Emperor Zhaochu's eyes deepened, "Okay, I will order you to investigate this matter! No matter who instigates those thieves, I will definitely kill them without mercy!"
"When I return to my father, I have found some clues."
"explain!"
"After they left the treasury, they all carried the gold and silver to Prince Yue's Mansion. When they left, they were light and had nothing on them."
Just as the ministers were about to start talking, they heard a woman's voice outside, and then Eunuch Liu came in to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Yue wants to see you."
Emperor Zhaochu narrowed his cold eyes and said, "Xuan."
Immediately afterwards, Princess Minghui walked in, wearing mourning clothes.
