Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Flipping and turning, Li Jin's face was also shocked, and everyone looked confused.

At this time, Chu Xuanchen raised his head and said calmly: "Master Li, you are very knowledgeable, please read the contents of the ledger to everyone."

"Okay." After Li Jin finished speaking, he glanced at Prince Rui in astonishment, and then read, "On March 28, Li Yun, weaving in Qingzhou, sent Prince Rui 800 pieces of silk and satin and 50,000 taels of silver; Zhou Fuwang, governor of Yongzhou, presented King Rui with 80,000 taels of silver; on April 7th, Zhang Lanqing, the prefect of Qizhou, presented King Rui with 10,000 taels of gold, a hundred pieces of silk, two boxes of antique jades, calligraphy and paintings; on May 1st..."

At this time, when everyone heard Li Jin's words, their pupils widened in shock, and they looked at Prince Rui in disbelief.

"What's going on? Isn't Prince Li the one who embezzled and accepted bribes? Why did they all become Prince Rui?"

"Yeah! What the hell is going on, I'm confused!"

Emperor Hongyuan on the dragon chair also looked puzzled when he heard Li Jinnian's words.

Looking at Prince Rui again, his face had turned into a liver color.

He glanced at these ledgers in disbelief, and suddenly glared at Chu Xuanchen with a bad premonition in his heart.

"Master Li, you have worked hard!" At this moment, Chu Xuanchen interrupted Li Jin.

He stepped forward, took the ledger in Li Jin's hand, and nodded at Prince Rui, sneering, "Prince Rui, how are you, are you familiar with these ledgers? And these gold and silver treasures, do you feel very uncomfortable?" look familiar?"

"This..." Prince Rui quickly glanced at the contents of the ledger, and then at the belongings in the box, his face turned pale.

what happened?

How could these be his books of accounts?

Also, these belongings became more and more familiar, like the treasures he hid in the villa in the south of the city.

He took a closer look and found that most of the antique jades, calligraphy and paintings in the box were very familiar, and his heart froze for a moment.

He saw clearly that these were clearly his treasures, why did they all come here?

It's all because he was too anxious just now, and entered the palace without carefully inspecting these treasures, otherwise he would have found them.

However, he had clearly read the account book before, and it did record evidence of Chu Xuanchen's embezzlement, so why did it all become his in a blink of an eye?

Thinking of the chaotic scene in the Biezhuang just now, Prince Rui's pupils constricted, it must be Chu Xuanchen's fault.

He glared at Chu Xuanchen angrily, and roared angrily, "Chu Xuanchen, it wasn't like this when the king sealed up the ledger before. Why have all the contents of the ledger changed?"

"That's right! We saw the contents of the ledger before, which clearly recorded evidence of Li Wang's corruption. How did it become like this?" A Lang also hurriedly asked.

Prince Rui said: "This must be framed, Chu Xuanchen, you just took advantage of the chaos and secretly changed the account book to frame this king, right?"

"Framing? Do you still need someone to frame you for doing these things? How about I tell you everything?" Chu Xuanchen curled his lips coldly.

Seeing that Chu Xuanchen was confident and calm, Emperor Hongyuan guessed something in his mind.

He looked at him and said solemnly: "Li Wang, tell me, what is going on?"

"Yes." Chu Xuanchen said, walked towards Emperor Hongyuan, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, two months ago, I heard that Prince Rui formed a clique for personal gain, corrupted the law, and exploited the common people. But at that time, I had no evidence To testify against him, we had to send someone to investigate him secretly. The hard work paid off, after two months of investigation, I finally collected all the criminal evidence of King Qi Rui."

"What? What evidence did you investigate, tell me!" Emperor Hongyuan said coldly.

Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, I have investigated many crimes against Prince Rui. He has been involved in the monitoring of Censor Zhou Chun and others for forming cliques for personal gain, cultivating private troops, embezzling and accepting bribes, and selling officials and nobles. Not only that, he also withheld disaster relief. money, embezzled people’s property, and searched for people’s fat and anointment; he also set up private Qinlou and Chu Pavilions in various places, forcing women to collect money for prostitution, and harmed many women from good families.”

Hearing Chu Xuanchen's words, Prince Rui was furious immediately, "Chu Xuanchen, you are talking nonsense! Do you think the emperor will believe your nonsense?"

As he said that, he quickly looked at Emperor Hongyuan and said, "Father, don't listen to his nonsense. He is simply jealous of my son being favored by you, so he framed his son. You must not believe his words."

Chu Xuanchen sneered, "What this king said is all the truth. There are all witnesses and material evidence, so it's useless for you to deny it. Not only that, you are also suspected of treason!"

In the end, his voice was sonorous, powerful and firm.

"Treason!!!" When the ministers heard this, their eyes popped out in shock.

Prince Rui said angrily, "Chu Xuanchen, you are clearly framing me, how could I plot rebellion?"

As soon as Emperor Hongyuan heard the word "rebellion", his nerves tensed immediately, and he said angrily, "What's going on? King Li, hurry up and clarify!"

Chu Xuanchen gave Prince Rui a cold look, and said, "Your Majesty, here are some letters in which Prince Rui and Dongfang Wuxiang secretly colluded. These letters state that Prince Rui and Dongfang Wuxiang secretly colluded. Give Dongfang Wuxiang the mining right of our country, let Dongfang Wuxiang lead troops to mine mines on our border without permission, in exchange for Dongfang Wuxiang's support! Prince Rui wants to use Dongfang Wuxiang's military force to force the emperor to seize the palace and seize the throne! "

"My God! Isn't this a rebellion?"

When everyone heard this, they all exclaimed in disbelief.

This Prince Rui is so courageous, he dared to conspire with Dongfang Wuxiang for rebellion.

And Emperor Hongyuan's face was full of anger, "Li Wang, present the letter, I want to see it myself."

"Yes." After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he presented the letters to Eunuch Xu, who then presented them to Emperor Hongyuan.

After Emperor Hongyuan took the letter, he quickly read it.

Looking at it, his face became very gloomy, and there was a strong killing intent in his eyes.

Suddenly, he raised his head abruptly, and glared at Prince Rui angrily, "Prince Rui, these are indeed letters written by you and Dongfang Wuxiang in collusion. You rebellious son, how dare you collude with foreign enemies to plot rebellion?"

Prince Rui already had a horrified expression on his face, he said in panic, "Father, my son and minister have been wronged..."

"Wronged? This letter is written clearly and plainly. How dare you say wronged?" Emperor Hongyuan gritted his teeth and stood up, staring at Prince Rui with cold eyes.

This time, Prince Rui was so frightened that his scalp went numb and his whole body trembled.

He glanced at those letters, and suddenly looked at Chu Xuanchen. How did Chu Xuanchen get these letters?

And those treasures, which were hidden so secretly, how did Chu Xuanchen get them?

He suddenly realized that this was a trap, a trap carefully arranged by Chu Xuanchen for him!

And he actually got into this trap triumphantly!
