Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 123 Chapter 123, Prince Zhu Cihong made a bet, Wu Sangui snatched the letter on the spot
After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, everyone present was a little dazed.

Wu Sangui's study?

It sure sounds like a place to hide secrets, but the problem is...

Why is Zhu Cihong so determined?

Wu Sangui thought for a while, and said seriously: "Why does His Highness use this method to delay the time? If His Highness thinks that searching the minister's study can find something that is not good for him, then I am afraid that His Royal Highness can only be disappointed. ”

Chongzhen also looked at Zhu Cihong with some doubts, and said, "Lang'er, are you sure?"

Zhu Cihong's expression was serious, and he said sternly: "Father, this minister actually knew that Wu Shangshu was investigating something about this minister two days ago. Since he wants to investigate this minister, then this minister should investigate him instead. It's also very reasonable, right?"

Chongzhen couldn't help but pause, although Zhu Cihong's reasoning seems a bit crooked, but logically speaking, it is indeed completely fine.

Zhu Cihong continued to speak: "I didn't have any hope at first, after all, people in Dongchang can't go out now. However, when I went to the prince's army for selection, I accidentally learned from someone that There is a very secret thing in Wu Shangshu's study, which is enough to prove that Wu Shangshu is slandering his son!"

Wu Sangui couldn't help but said: "Impossible! This person is definitely slandering this official, please call this person here, and this official is willing to confront him face to face!"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Are you foolish to be my palace? If you really confronted me, it would be to delay your time."

The two couldn't argue for a while.

Zhu Cihong will definitely not give in, and Wu Sangui also knows that everyone is tearing their faces apart now, success or failure depends on one action, so naturally he will not give in.

Seeing the argument between the two, Chongzhen felt a headache and hesitated for a while.

Zhu Cihong is the son and successor, but Wu Sangui also gives Chongzhen the impression that he is also a loyal courtier. Which side should we believe?

Zhu Cihong didn't bother to continue arguing with Wu Sangui, so he said very simply: "Father, if I don't find any evidence in Wu Sangui's study, then I am willing to admit all the accusations Wu Sangui made against me, and ask Father Huang Tuo replaces the prince, Erchen!"

Zhu Cihong immediately threw a bomb, using the crown prince as a bargaining chip.

There is a system, it is so tough!

When Chongzhen heard it, he was really shocked, and the balance in his heart began to tilt towards Zhu Cihuang.

In this world, who would make fun of the crown prince?That is the future emperor!

Chongzhen finally made up his mind and said: "Since that's the case, then all the Qing family will accompany me to Wu Qing's house to have a look. This matter will have a result today!"

Wu Sangui was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is definitely the crown prince's plan to delay, please think again, Your Majesty!"

In Wu Sangui's study room, there are many secrets. After all, under normal circumstances, the study room is the most private and heavily guarded place, and he doesn't need to worry about others running in.

But now if Zhu Cihong really finds something, Wu Sangui will be very passive.

However, since Chongzhen had already made a decision, he would naturally not regret it. He waved his hand directly and said, "Needless to say, that's the decision, let's go!"

Everyone set off in a carriage.

Zhu Cihong and the British Duke were in a carriage, and the British Duke said worriedly: "His Royal Highness, can you really catch Wu Sangui this time?"

Zhu Cilang smiled, and said: "Don't worry, Duke, since I dare to say such things in front of my father, I must be measured."

The British Duke nodded, then snorted, and said, "I never thought that this Wu Sangui would be so bold that he dared to slander His Highness the Crown Prince in public like this. After this matter is over, the old minister must mobilize the good officials to join him. Ben, let him get out of the capital!"

When Zhu Cihong heard this, the smile on his face became more intense: "My lord, why wait until this matter is over? This time, I will let Wu Sangui know what it means to be untouchable by a tiger's beard!"

As the saying goes, revenge does not last overnight.If you want to do it, kill it on the spot!
Half an hour later, Yu Jia arrived at the Wu Mansion in a mighty manner.

Upon hearing the news, Wu Xiang, the owner of the Wu Mansion, rushed to greet him at the gate of the mansion: "I have seen His Majesty, I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince, and I have seen all your lords."

Wu Xiang was a little flattered.

Chongzhen glanced at Wu Xiang, and a look of disgust flashed across his face that was not easy to be noticed by others.

It was this Wu Xiang who ran away more than ten years ago, which not only caused the loss of tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty elites, but also caused Zu Dashou to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, causing very heavy losses to Daming.

Every time he saw Wu Xiang, Chongzhen seemed to see those tens of thousands of souls who died tragically crying!

Chongzhen calmed down and said calmly: "Wu Qing's family, I am here mainly for your son's affairs. Please take us to Wu Shangshu's study."

Wu Xiang was a little confused when she heard the words, so she subconsciously glanced at Wu Sangui, and found that Wu Sangui's expression was also quite serious.

Wu Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help saying cautiously: "Your Majesty, did the dog do something wrong?"

Wu Xiang actually knew that Wu Sangui was planning some kind of big action these days, but Wu Sangui didn't think highly of this old man from the bottom of his heart, so Wu Xiang really didn't know the real inside story.

Chongzhen said slowly: "Just lead the way."

Wu Xiang had no choice but to lead the way, and he had to be frightened along the way.

Zhu Cixiang followed Chongzhen with a steady pace.

A little behind, several ministers who were close to Zhu Cihong were also whispering.

Li Banghua moved to Fan Jingwen's side and said softly, "Mr. Fan Ge, what do you think of this matter?"

Fan Jingwen looked around to make sure that no one else could hear him, and then he replied softly: "I feel that His Royal Highness may be in big trouble this time."

Li Banghua was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Looking at it like this, His Royal Highness seems to have mastered some secrets of Mr. Wu."

Fan Jingwen sighed, and said: "The real secrets are all hidden in the heart, how could they be found by others? If something really happens later, the old man will try his best not to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, and follow him." The Duke of England will keep His Highness the Crown Prince together."

After Li Banghua listened, his expression also became more dignified.

While speaking, Wu Xiang, who was leading the way at the front, had already stopped, and respectfully said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, this is Gouzi's study."

Chongzhen took a look and found that Wu Sangui's study was still very quiet, with flowers and grass in a beautiful environment, very suitable for office work and business discussions.

Chongzhen glanced at Zhu Cihong who was behind him, and said slowly: "Lang'er, it's your turn."

Zhu Cilang also nodded when he heard the words, without saying too much, he directly opened the door and entered the study.

Wu Xiang was taken aback when she saw this, and wanted to speak, but found that even Wu Sangui didn't speak, so she closed her mouth again.

The moment Zhu Cihong stepped into Wu Sangui's study door, the sound of the system sounded at the right time.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the check-in. The check-in task is triggered: please open the organ at the marked place, and take out the secret letter from it, and make it public."

After the system sound fell, Zhu Cihong's gaze seemed to be attracted by something, and he involuntarily landed on an unobtrusive corner of the study.

"It seems to be here." Zhu Cihong smiled, but he didn't rush to go, but opened all the doors and windows first.

In this way, people outside the door can see Zhu Cihong's every move in the room.

Then, Zhu Cihong walked to the place prompted by the system, stretched out his hand and pressed it.

Wu Sangui watched Zhu Cihong's movements, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

What Zhu Cixiang pressed was just a button, but it seemed to be pressing Wu Sangui's Achilles' heel!
With a snap, a small mechanism drawer popped out.

Zhu Cihong looked at the drawer and found that there was nothing in it, only a letter.

Zhu Cilang picked up the letter and walked out of the room.

Wu Sangui suddenly howled: "No!"

The next moment, Wu Sangui rushed towards Zhu Cihong like a mad tiger, and instantly snatched the letter from Zhu Cihong's hand.

Then, Wu Sangui stuffed the letter into his mouth, chewed it hard, and then swallowed it hard.

Everyone obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen at all, and they were all stunned.

Wu Sangui swallowed the letter paper with great difficulty, feeling determined.

Now, there is no need to worry about the content of the letter being leaked.

He looked up at Zhu Cihong, feeling a little happy, His Royal Highness, I won't win this time?

However, Wu Sangui did not see any expression of defeat on Zhu Cixiang's face.

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, and took out another letter as if by magic.

"Wu Shangshu, do you want to eat this letter?"

Wu Sangui was stunned on the spot.

Zhu Cixi laughed and looked at Wu Sangui with contempt in his eyes.

With this old routine, do you really think that Ben Gong is defenseless?
What Wu Sangui ate was actually a piece of paper that Zhu Cihong quietly shoved from his desk.

The real letter was put into the portable space immediately after Zhu Cihong got it. After Wu Sangui snatched the empty paper, Zhu Cihong took out the letter again.

Just to tease you, just to play!
Zhu Cilang put the letter in Chongzhen's hands: "Father, please read it."

Looking at this scene, Chongzhen obviously understood something, didn't say anything, just picked up the letter and read it.

Wu Sangui's body trembled, and he slumped directly on the ground.

He knew very well what the letter was, it was a personal letter from Dorgon, the auxiliary king of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
If Chongzhen saw it...

Sure enough, Chongzhen looked at it, and his expression changed drastically.

After a while, Chongzhen raised his head and stared at Wu Sangui angrily: "Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui, I didn't expect that I would value you so much. I made you governor of Jiliao and made you Minister of the Ministry of War, but you secretly conspired to become a slave." , scheming against the prince? Someone, come and take down this rip-off thing for me!"
