Chapter 215 Secret Investigation
The emperor was looking at the peeled silver. Just such a piece of silver was more than twenty taels. How much silver should there be in a silver mine? He was very excited when he thought about it.
Although the Dongshun Kingdom has a vast territory and rich resources, its treasury is also empty. If such a large amount of money is put into the treasury, the Dongshun Kingdom's military strength can be strengthened again and its tax revenue can be reduced. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
If everything written in Han'er's letter is true, then the fourth prince, this evil son, not only did not report it, but also asked people from the Xishun Kingdom to guard him. Isn't this a clear sign that he does not take his father in the eyes? It is indeed wrong.
The minds of our species must be different.
"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you." Fuquan bent down and said.
"Invite her in."
If there really is a silver mine, and the Sixth Prince is not rewarded for his merits, his mother and queen will certainly treat him kindly.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is guilty, please forgive me."
The queen knelt down on the ground wiping away tears, with a look of despair on her face.
"What is the Queen's crime?"
The emperor's eyes narrowed, and his eyes when looking at the queen lost their warmth.
"I missed the Empress Dowager today and wanted to take out the jade pendant that she gave to me and examine it carefully. However, I searched all over the place and could not find this jade pendant, so I am guilty."
The emperor was shocked. The empress dowager had left behind a pair of jade pendants, a set of peacock heads and faces, and the title deed to the bird garden. As long as you had these four things, you could regain the Beishun Kingdom.
But for some unknown reason, the Empress Dowager only gave the Empress this jade pendant. As for the other three things, the Empress Dowager said she had a destiny.
Now even the queen's jade pendant was stolen, and the emperor couldn't help but ponder whether the queen was stealing it or someone had already obtained the three things left by the queen mother.
Could it be that the Beishun Kingdom wanted to change hands and then launch a war to compete for the resources of the Dongshun Kingdom? The emperor was so immersed in his thoughts that he had forgotten the queen who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has a secret letter that he wants to deliver to the Emperor."
Fuquan glanced at the queen who could no longer kneel down, and whispered cautiously.
"Oh, bring it up. Hey, why is the queen still kneeling? Go back, I know this matter."
The emperor saw the crumbling queen and said calmly, but his eyes glanced at Fuquan, making Fuquan shrink his neck in fright.
"Let people search the palace, every palace must be searched, including the queen's."
The emperor took the letter and read it while giving instructions. Fu Quan was shocked. Could it be that the emperor and the queen were suspicious of him? But it was clear that the sixth prince had made great achievements. He really was with the emperor like a tiger.
The emperor opened the so-called secret letter from the eldest prince, took a look at it, and couldn't help but sneer. There were floods in the south and drought in the north. He suggested water diversion from the south to the north, but the project was relatively large, and he wanted the emperor to allocate funds for support.
This matter is managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The water diversion from the south to the north was already done when the drought started. The eldest prince can still use this excuse to defraud me of my money.
He directly tore the so-called secret letter into pieces. He didn't understand why the eldest prince, who was also his son and was so much older than the sixth prince, could bring him silver mines, and why the eldest prince could bring him silver mines.
I will only ask him for money.
"Comer"
"The subordinates are here"
A man in black attire suddenly appeared, half-kneeling in front of the emperor, with his hands clasped in fists.
"Fuju, please go and see if all the letters written by my sixth prince are true. If they are true, go and find out where the fourth prince is now."
"Welfare Bureau takes the lead"
"Comer"
"The subordinates are here"
Another man in smart clothes appeared.
"Go and investigate where the fourth prince and the eldest prince are currently and what they are doing."
"Subordinates receive orders"
The emperor also has four secret guards, named "Gu Quan Situation". In addition to Fu Quan, who has been staying by the emperor's side, and Fu Ju and Fu Da, who just left with the order, there is only Fu Gu, who has the highest martial arts and is always hidden in the palace.
In the dark, he always protects the emperor.
Fuju and Fuda used their Qinggong skills and disappeared into the palace in the blink of an eye. In the distance, several shadows also moved, and then disappeared into their respective palaces.
"Queen, your Majesty sent the Fu Bureau and Fu Da out. I think they may have gone to the Sixth Prince. Do you want to follow them?" Yue Dark Guard told Qin Ruyuan what he saw.
Queen Qin Ruyuan thought for a moment. If one guard was enough to investigate the emperor's son, why send two? It would mean that the emperor was on guard against his sons.
In this case, they can only cope with the changes by staying the same. Besides, she knows her son well, and he will not write to the emperor if he is not sure enough.
At the same time, Concubine Shu was also listening to the report of her secret guard. Since the original secret guard was killed by the Sixth Prince, she asked her father to send another secret guard in.
It's just that compared with the previous one, this secret guard is really a bit unusable, but no matter how hard it is, it's better than nothing, so I reluctantly use it.
"You said Fuju and Fuda left the palace. Have you found out where they went?"
Concubine Shu was shocked. What she was most worried about now was that Huang'er's iron mine was discovered by the emperor. If it was discovered, not to mention whether the person's head could be saved, the position would definitely be missed.
"I don't know."
"go away……"
Concubine Shu said angrily, "I don't know this, I don't know that, what use do you have?"
The secret guard lowered his head, stood up, took a few steps back, and then disappeared. The waitress beside her rolled her eyes when she saw the secret guard leaving.
But she was also smart enough to keep silent. What Concubine Shu had done was already unpopular. If her powerful father hadn't been there, the emperor would have probably dealt with her.
Fu Bureau came back the fastest. The Sixth Prince did find a silver mine here and the body that was thrown in the snow. He also went to see it and found that it was indeed from the Xishun Kingdom.
Now the silver mine has been protected by the Sixth Prince and his people, and the Admiral has patrolled day and night with his soldiers. It is estimated that the Admiral has been bribed by the Sixth Prince.
The emperor listened to Fu Bureau's report without any expression on his face. He just waved his hand. Fu Bureau disappeared in an instant. Fu Quan stood behind the emperor with his head lowered, waiting for the emperor's order.
The emperor closed his eyes, but his mind was racing rapidly. It seemed that what the sixth emperor said was true. The fourth emperor did have the intention to rebel, and the eldest emperor's intention was known to everyone.
However, the Sixth Emperor is so scheming at such a young age. It would be appropriate to pass the throne to him in the future, but it cannot be done now. He must know who is the emperor of Dongshun Kingdom.
"Fuquan, Xuan Zhao Rongzhe comes to see you."
"yes"
Fuquan went to announce Zhao Rongzhe's audience. You must know that the sixth prince is Zhao Rongzhe's cousin who has not yet entered the fifth service. If the emperor announces him to the palace at this time, he will definitely trick him.
