Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

When Zhu Cihong asked like this, a look of fear flashed in Kang Chun's eyes, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart, as if he had been seen through by the prince in front of him, and his methods were useless.

And he could see that this prince came to the war today, just to find trouble, Kang Chun was lying on the ground, his hands were bloody, his face was pale, sweat was falling drop by drop, and his temples were bruised.

Kang Chun really couldn't think of what he had offended the prince, it seemed that he hadn't met more than twice, no wonder he looked at the prince's eyes from a distance last time, the prince didn't like it, and he has been remembering it until now?"

"Your Highness, this slave does cut corners in the manufacture of firearms, and good firearms have always been mixed with bad products and sent to the guards everywhere."

Kang Chun said with a painful face, and now he can only admit the charge of corruption.

Zhu Cihong glanced at the other party and did not speak, but looked at the eunuchs kneeling on the other side.

"Which of you is the Admiral Eunuch?" Zhu

Cihong asked lightly, the Admiral Eunuch still has a bit of status, not much worse than the palm print.

"Slave and maid Commander Liu Rong. A

slightly chubby eunuch crawled out on his knees and kowtowed.

"Tell me, where did the good firearms go, and if you say okay, this palace will give you a chance to atone for your sins.

Zhu Cihong came to the main seat and sat down, picked up the teapot to a cup, took a sip, looked at Kang Chun, and couldn't help but sigh: "Well, it is worthy of the tea you picked at vigil, the top grade

!" Hearing this, Kang Chun's heart hurt again, this sycophant was in vain!"

Back to His Royal Highness, what Kang Gonggong said was indeed the truth.

Admiral Eunuch Liu Rong's face turned pale, cold sweat flowed wildly, he glanced at Kang Chun cautiously, and still gritted his teeth and said.

"Alas......"

Zhu Cihong sighed, put down the teacup, and seemed to glance at Li Ruolian, his head was slightly biased, and the latter understood in seconds, walked over directly, and came behind Liu Rong.

"Liu Rong, the commander of the War Bureau, and Kang Chun, the eunuch of the contract palm print, embezzled military spending, which led to a setback in the battle ahead, and firearms are the top priority of the Ming army.

Li Ruolian comprehended, and immediately took out the long knife on his waist, and directly cut it down, directly taking Liu Rong's head.

The process of this decisive decision was so fast that even the other party reacted, and the face of the head who rolled off still looked like he was about to cry out for injustice.

"Your Highness is wronged, Your Highness, although the slave and maid cut corners, the crime is not so much!" Kang

Chun heard this, and saw Liu Rong's head fall to the ground, and was immediately frightened to tears, it was originally a crime of corruption, as soon as the prince said it, how did it become embezzlement of military funds, and there was a war ahead, isn't it normal for a dead person to be killed, how can it be blamed on him.

"The soldiers in front of the front killed the enemy with firearms, but the firearms were dumb and exploded, do you dare to say that you were wronged?"

Zhu Cihong's face sank, and then he said: "Li Ruolian, Zhang Huaibin, the two of you took people to raid Liu Rong's house and move all the property here, and the palace wants to see how much of their corruption is there."

"Follow His Highness's order!"

Li Ruolian and Zhang Huaibin immediately rushed out.

Then, the scene was extremely quiet for a while, Zhu Cihong simply closed his eyes to recuperate, and the sweat on Kang Chun's forehead had hit the ground, and his body was constantly trembling.

Kang Chun secretly glanced at the prince, and his heart was horrified, he always felt that the prince knew about it, but he didn't ask it directly, and asked him to say it himself, that is to say, the prince knew, but there was no substantial evidence!

Bi Maokang looked at His Royal Highness the prince on the throne, and his heart was also amazed, he had experienced officialdom for so many years, and he had never seen such a ruthless and unfathomable superior, as if everything was under the control of this lord.

He hasn't been in close contact with the emperor yet, so he doesn't know who taught this prince, but he feels that there is a high probability that it is His Majesty, otherwise how could he let His Royal Highness the crown prince take full power to supervise the country at such a young age.

"Your Royal Highness, Liu Rong's family property has a total of 200,000 taels of silver, two houses, all kinds of jewelry and antiques, about 50,000 taels

of silver!" After a while, Li Ruolian and Zhang Huaibin came back, and on a carriage, there was a big silver ball, three large boxes, and the heavy ones even had the wheels sunk into the mud for several points.

"Bi Maokang.

Zhu Cihong said.

"The minister is here.

Bi Maokang was stunned.

"You get out first.

After Bi Maokang withdrew, Zhu Cihong looked at Kang Chun.

"Is this an ingredient that can be greedy for cutting corners?" He

looked at Kang Chun, and said: "You know what Bengong means, say it, Bengong will make you die happily, if you don't say it, Bengong will make you cut a thousand knives!" Kang Chun

didn't speak, didn't raise his head, slowly bit his tongue, and was ready to bite his tongue to kill himself, if he didn't say it, he would die alone, and his whole family would die if he said it!

" "You have a family?"

Suddenly, Zhu Cihong said something that made Kang Chun's eyes jump, and his body shook slightly.

Zhu Cihong looked at Kang Chun, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said gently: "Do you think that this palace condemns you to death, but only kills you, in fact, this kind of felony of embezzling military funds is generally the sin of the Nine Clans." "

Your Highness, you are extremely sage, the slave is just corrupt, the crime is not like this, Your Highness!"

Kang Chun panicked at this time, and crawled towards Zhu Cihong, but was kicked away by a brocade guard, he cried and pleaded, although the eunuch has no queen, but at present he still has a family, brothers and sisters.

"If you think about it, you're going to die anyway, why don't you pull those people into the water, otherwise, if you die, those people are still chic and happy, isn't it very unpleasant.

Zhu Cihong's voice spread in the hall, Li Ruolian and the others who listened were stunned, everyone looked at the prince, they were tortured, this is the first time they have heard this kind of words, although this is straightforward, but it seems to be very reasonable.

When the time comes, when the Beizhen Fusi Edict is in prison, when he is tortured to extract confessions, he can learn Xi, Li Ruolian thought in his heart.

"You provide for them to come out, this palace promises, none of them will live, all the doors are destroyed, and your family, this palace guarantees that they are not guilty, and they will give you thirty numbers to think about it, if you choose to let those people live freely, then this palace promises, destroy you all the doors.

Zhu Cihong's gentle voice sounded in the lobby, and his tone was peaceful, but in the ears of many brocade guards and the eunuchs in charge of the War Bureau who were kneeling on the ground, it was as terrifying as a demon's whisper

!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't look at the plain and indifferent face, the tone of his voice is kind, but there is anger and murder between the words.

The traitors in front of them only had two annihilations, and most of them were sent by their families to fight on the side, but at this moment, they actually said that all those people were destroyed, which shows that the prince seems to have been touched by a certain point in the military battle bureau.

Zhu Cihong nodded at Zhang Huaibin, and the latter began to count.

"One, two,...... Fifteen...... Twenty-seven. Kang

Chun looked frightened, he used to be in the palace, serving the nobles, princes, and even emperors, but he had never seen a person like the prince, how to do things and speak is completely different, there is no etiquette in speaking, there is no etiquette in doing things, too cruel!

"

Thirty. "

Your Highness, the slave said.

Kang Chun seemed to be deflated, and his eyes were full of confusion and fear.

"All of you brocade guards are out.

Zhu Cihong smiled, then picked up the paper and pen on the table, Zhang Huaibin sharpened the ink on the side, and then glanced at Li Ruolian.

"Yes.

Li Ruolian was slightly disappointed in his heart, and glanced at the eighteen masked people with envy, couldn't he still enter the inner circle of His Royal Highness the Prince?

This is nothing to others, but it is different in the ears of the dozen or so eunuchs who are still kneeling on the ground, they are not stupid people, but they are also very good at observing words and feelings.

But what does it mean now?

From beginning to end, the prince ignored them, and now that the squire of the Ministry of Works has gone out, and now even the Jinyi guard has gone out, and it is obvious that there is something to say next, which those people can't listen to, and the prince didn't tell them to go out, so what they listened to ......

"Some of the good and fine firearms produced by the War Bureau every year are all sold to some imperial relatives.

Kang Chun said slowly: "In fact, there are not only firearms, but also other weapons, such as armor, swords, bows and arrows. "

What are they selling these for, and who are they?" Zhu

Cihong asked while recording, but he thought of a possibility in his heart, the emperor's relatives were selling weapons, buying them at wholesale prices here in the War Bureau, and then selling them to others at a high price, but to whom to sell, he only thought of one place, Shanxi!

There are only Jin merchants in this place, who are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and other anti-thief forces are all disaster victims, without this financial resources, those who can have this financial resources are most likely only Shanxi Jin merchants.

The conscience of heaven and earth, these eunuchs in charge of the affairs only accept the money sent by Kang Chun, and they don't know anything else, hearing Kang Chun's words, the dozen eunuchs are even more afraid!"

"

Yes, Zhou Kui, the national governor, Tian Hongyu, the governor of Zuodu, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Wei, Xu Wenjue, the Marquis of Yangwu, Xue Lian, the Marquis of Dingyuan, Deng Wenming, the Marquis of Linhuai, Li Hongji, and the Marquis of Wuqing, Li Guorui. "
