Chapter 427 Abandoning the Car to Protect the Handsome and Cool Prince
After all the courtiers stood still, the emperor nodded slightly, and the eunuch in charge stepped forward and shook his whisk lightly and said:
"Play early if you have something to do! Retire without capital!"

Immediately, several officials came forward and talked about their errands, and those who needed the emperor's approval also drew up the papers early, and the two young eunuchs accepted them one by one.

Whenever ministers who were not from his faction came forward to make a statement, the prince would break out in a cold sweat nervously, and he felt relieved when he saw that the political affairs were not mentioned after the talk.

I remembered that before I left the mansion in the morning, Hai Wenchang told me to go up and plead guilty before someone ginsengs me, but after thinking about it, I felt that this was a trap.
What if the fundamental account book is fake, or there is no such so-called account book at all, but what if he is deliberately induced to confess his crime, so he decided to wait and see,

Now it seems that he is right, because according to the custom, the father will announce his next court after collecting the papers, and he will be fine!

"If there is something to do, it will be early and there will be no reason to retreat!"

The prince was secretly elated, it seems that he was trying to plot against him because of his mastery of chess.
"I have a book to play!"

All the ministers were waiting to announce that they would retreat and go home, when suddenly there was an explosion out of thin air, and everyone looked to see who was talking.

Ji Guanglian caressed the wrinkles on his body seriously, then took out the booklet and account book from his sleeve, came out of the queue, stepped forward and knelt down:
"Report to the emperor, my minister Ji Guanglian has a book to play!"

The emperor looked at this 'Ji Buren' again and wanted to stroke his forehead with a headache, but still maintained the emperor's generosity, and asked in a majestic voice with gentleness:

"I wonder if Ji Aiqing has anything to play?"

Before Ji Guanglian could speak, the crown prince had already seen something like a ledger when he knelt down, and secretly regretted: It's this old thing again...what should I do. By the way, plead guilty!

Having figured this out, Ji Guanglian, who was interrupted by the prince to speak, let out a mournful voice, stepped forward and prostrated himself on the ground without any image, kowtowed three times and said:

"Father and son are guilty!"

The emperor had stopped smiling at this moment, looked at Ji Guanglian and then at his crown prince expressionlessly, narrowed his eyes and said softly:
"Oh?~I don't know what crime the prince has committed?"

Ji Guanglian was already annoyed by the prince's insignificant appearance, seeing him messing around was even more furious, he knelt on the ground, straightened his upper body, and clapped his hands to the ground loudly.

"Back to the emperor! The minister wants to see the crown prince's lack of rules and regulations, conniving his subordinates to collect money and persecute the people, and even taking advantage of the drought in the three major counties in the north to signal the local county magistrate He to collect money wantonly.

Causing the victims to be displaced and starved of food!Fortunately, Sheng Shang Yingming sent General Li as an imperial envoy to visit the disaster county. Knowing that the county magistrate was corrupt and perverted the law, he ransacked his other courtyard overnight!

Confiscate your property and escort you to Beijing!It's a pity that he leaked the news on the way and was killed by the gangster and even the yamen guards escorted by him!Fortunately!Huang Tian didn't want the leader of this appalling corruption case to go unpunished, and he missed a key piece of evidence that was not destroyed by the gangsters, which is the account book that the minister is going to present to the sage today!

This ledger recorded in detail the evidence that the local county magistrate He was corrupt and perverted the law and secretly colluded with the prince!This article transported 3 taels of silver to the Prince's Mansion on June [-]th of the third year,

Chang Lin, who was in charge of the eunuch next to the prince, delivered 4000 taels of silver and four sets of antique calligraphy and paintings on March [-], [-]!The eunuch Chang Lin next to the prince who handled the matter,
emperor!This one by one involved as many as a dozen officials, the emperor is such a court moth!Must be severely punished to show the law! "

The emperor looked pale and inspected the ministers below. When he didn't see Li Chengyi, he couldn't help asking:

"Where is General Li?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Go back to the emperor! Master Li's family is in mourning!"

"Oh yes! I forgot!" Huangfu Xuanhong recalled as soon as he was reminded, then looked at Ji Guanglian who was kneeling down and said:
"Submit the ledger to me for a look!"

"Yes!"

The little eunuch stepped forward to take the account book and handed it to the emperor, who continued to report while looking at Ji Guanglian.

"Your Majesty! In addition to this physical evidence, I also have personal witnesses! Two days ago, there was an uproar in the public about the existence of this account book, so some people couldn't hold back!

He wanted to kill the holder of the book like he killed the county magistrate, but fortunately he was saved!In addition, three retainers and guards from the Prince's Mansion were arrested!The minister dared not take the prisoner to the palace, so he decided to wait outside the palace!If the emperor summons his ministers, he can summon them at any time! "

The emperor closed the ledger with a gloomy face, looked at the prince with dark eyes, and said coldly:
"Prince! Do you have anything to explain to me?"

Seeing his father looking at him angrily, the prince hurriedly knelt and took two steps to squeeze out a few tears, and said as if I were a sinner:
"Father! My son is guilty!"

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, the eunuch in charge had been with the emperor for the longest time, at a glance, he could tell that the emperor was experiencing a sign of violent anger, sure enough!

"Oh~ the emperor will tell you why you are guilty? How will you explain this account book to me?"

Crown Prince Huangfu straightened up and wiped his eyes, hating iron for being weak and saying:
"Father! My son is guilty but my son is wronged! My son only found out about it last night! It's all because my son's lax supervision allowed Lin, the personal eunuch, to take advantage of the loophole.

In the past few years, he has used the name of his ministers to amass money everywhere. This time the county magistrate He was assassinated, but he didn't expect that this was the only way to kill him!Until the account book broke out,
He jumped over the wall in a hurry and tried to use the same method to commit another murder, but fortunately Mr. Ji caught him with great skill, otherwise Erchen would still be kept in the dark by that dog thief! "

The emperor just watched the crying of the prince below, but didn't make a sound, Ji Guanglian stood up and retorted:

"Oh? Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have something unknown, so I hope the Crown Prince will clarify it. According to the Crown Prince, your personal eunuch Chang Lin has colluded with more than ten officials in the court to corrupt the law over the years.

His Royal Highness doesn't know anything about it?This time, you even conspired with your personal bodyguards in an attempt to kill and destroy the evidence. Is it an afterthought?Then why didn't the minister of the palace see the prince come out to plead guilty before he reported it today? "

The emperor lowered his eyes and didn't know what to think about. The prince became flustered when he saw his father, but he didn't dare to forget what Hai Wenchang taught him, so.

"Father! Please punish my son! As the crown prince, I have been deceived by traitors for so many years, and even colluded with more than ten ministers of the court. This son is very heartbroken!
But the minister dare not argue and is willing to accept the crime of not being investigated!The minister proposed that all ministers who participated in the county magistrate's corruption and perverting the law should be severely punished regardless of rank, which also shows my royal authority! "

Suddenly, it was like a pot exploded in the hall, and the neighboring ministers started talking about it.

"It turns out that the rumors in the market are true."

"You tell the prince to the end."

"Don't discuss this."
