Emperor Changyuan and Lin Jun were immediately taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Of course, there was no conviction for the time being, but Zhao Shangshu still ordered people to go to the imperial hospital to ask the imperial doctor to bandage his injuries.

And a large stack of heavy books was sent to the imperial study room.

What is recorded in the books are all accounts!

It’s really a large amount of money coming from tea merchants and fish merchants!

So much silver,

Emperor Changyuan actually made so much money behind the back of the emperor, civil and military officials, and still pretended to be pitiful every day!

When Emperor Gao Qi saw those accounts, his face was livid.

The civil and military officials who came to the scene after hearing the news also felt a chill on the backs of their necks.

This time Emperor Changyuan may not die but will be disabled!

Emperor Wen was already suspicious, but Emperor Changyuan still dared to make money privately under Emperor Wen's nose. This was with ulterior motives! What do you want!

Can--

As Di Gaoqi turned the pages of those old books, his temples were beating.

"Boom!" With a sound, the golden nanmu table was shaken by his slap.

"Call that bastard Prince to me immediately!"

All the officials in the audience looked at each other in confusion.

Isn't this a matter of checking His Highness Eleven?

Why is it related to the prince again?

When Di Xiaozhan was brought here, he was still awake and had heavy dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he had overindulged in sex last night.

But he was still neatly dressed and saluted respectfully:

"See the Father..."

"Wow!"

Before he could finish speaking, a pile of old books was overturned at his feet.

Emperor Gao Qi's eyes were stern: "Give me an explanation!"

Di Xiaozhan was still a little confused, so he picked up the book pages on the ground and read them.

The more I looked, the more frightened I became.

The more he looked, the more veins in his forehead jumped.

Zhao Peiliang and other officials lowered their heads and saw the accounts above, which clearly read:

"On the seventh day of the second lunar month, the maid died, and the pension was twenty taels.

On the tenth day of the second lunar month, buy ten women with a hundred taels of silver tattoos.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, buy jade sticks, rocking horses, balm..."

This……

These account books actually all record the expenses incurred by the Crown Prince, Emperor Xiaozhan!

Zhao Peiliang realized something and hurriedly picked up other account books to read.

Shocking discovery!

He originally thought that those previous account books and revenue belonged to Di Changyuan.

But in fact, on the last page of the branch, there is the seal of the Crown Prince Emperor Xiaozhan!

That is to say...

What kind of tea merchants and fish merchants are all managed by the prince? It's the prince who makes money to buy women for entertainment...

When Di Xiaozhan saw the account books, his face turned pale.

The emperor still didn't understand anything, so he severely reprimanded:

"Di Xiaozhan, tell me! These are really your doings! Did you put the subsequent seal with your own hands?"

"My son..."

Di Xiaozhan wanted to deny it, but at this moment his anger had already reached Tianling Gai.

He was almost furious and asked the officials: "Where did these accounts come from?

Is it that bastard Di Changyuan? Is he betraying this prince? "

Di Changyuan has been helping him take care of these accounts.

The private account books are also related to the lives of some palace ladies, and are also evidence of his lewdness!

Is Emperor Changyuan retaliating against him and trying to force him, the prince, to step down?

I really ate the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!

Zhao Peiliang looked at him and said: "Prince...you have misunderstood! You really have misunderstood!

There is an anonymous memorial today, accusing His Royal Highness of doing business privately.

The lower official went to investigate according to the order, and His Highness Eleven has been protecting him with his life. "

These accounts are well hidden and hidden in hidden compartments.

If his people didn't have experience in handling cases, it would be impossible to find out!

"And in order to protect these accounts, His Highness Eleven was pushed to the ground by his subordinates and hit his forehead against a wall. He is still unconscious..."

As Zhao Peiliang said this, he felt a wave of self-blame in his heart.

At first, he really thought that Emperor Changyuan was doing business secretly, and he was so selfless because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed.

But now it seems.

Emperor Changyuan is under the control of the Prince of the East Palace... and he is protecting the East Palace...

No matter how cold-blooded Emperor Xiaozhan is, his brows jumped after hearing these words:

"Are you serious...Brother Eleven, was he really injured...in order to maintain the ledger?"

"Go back to Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I don't dare to say anything unreasonable about this matter!"

Zhao Peiliang realized that he had committed an unjust case, and immediately knelt on the ground and reported to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, my subordinates just remembered that when they searched the Changyuan Palace, the palace was completely destitute and no valuables were found!"

Before, he thought that Emperor Changyuan was pretending to be too sincere, but now it seems that he is really judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

"Report!"

At this time, a little eunuch ran in and anxiously reported:

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has sent word that His Highness Eleven is weak and has lost too much blood. I'm afraid..."

Emperor Gaoqi's eyelids twitched: "Afraid of what?"

The little eunuch buried his head: "I'm afraid he will die soon..."

Emperor Gao Qi's face suddenly turned dark.

He never cared about Emperor Changyuan and rarely looked at his son.

But today those account books appear to be orderly and clear.

Among the princes alone, how many can have his ability?

In the past 19 years, Emperor Changyuan has been working diligently for the prince... he has been loyal and responsible...

Emperor Gao Qi's eyes fell directly on the prince:

"Boss, let me ask you! Did you ask him to handle those business matters? Or did he handle them himself?"

Although Di Xiaozhan bullied the weak and had bad moral character, he still dared to take responsibility.

Perhaps Emperor Changyuan was really seriously ill, so he immediately knelt on the ground:

"Father... son and minister... son and minister are also considered to be respectful, but they just made the same mistakes that all men in the world make...

Isn’t the father of the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard... My son just likes women..."

He likes women, which official here dares to confront him?

If you quarrel with him, he will spray them in the face! Look at which of them doesn't have three wives and four concubines in their house!

Di Xiaozhan didn't think it was a big deal and simply said:

"My son, I discovered that the salary in the palace was not enough a few years ago, so I asked my eleventh brother to help me think of some ways..."

He said he was thinking of some ways, but in fact he ordered Emperor Changyuan to earn money for him!

If he couldn't make any money, he would beat up Di Changyuan as soon as he was short of money.

As time went by, Emperor Changyuan found some ways.

Of course, he was not stupid. He was worried that Emperor Changyuan would enrich his own pockets and embezzle his money, so Emperor Changyuan had to record everything clearly and never embezzle it!

Emperor Gao Qi's eyebrows jumped when he heard this.

So it’s all the prince’s order!

After all, Emperor Changyuan never complained a word about injustice, nor did he accuse the prince...

As long as this matter is identified and done with a little bit of manipulation, the prince will be dissolute and immoral, killing many palace ladies, and he will never be able to sit in the East Palace!

In any case, at least for now, Di Changyuan's character is indeed impeccable.

Emperor Gaoqi was so angry that he stared at Di Xiaozhan:

"You're such a bastard!"

But he didn't even bother to scold him, so he only ordered:

“The Imperial Physicians Xuan Fu and Imperial Physicians Zhong immediately entered the palace to treat the eleventh prince!

Heal his body without sparing any medicinal materials! "

"Yes!" The little eunuch immediately went down and did as he was told.

Only then did Zhao Peiliang get some free time and kowtowed heavily to the ground:

"Your Majesty, I accidentally seriously injured His Highness Chang Yuan. I am guilty and will be punished by Your Majesty!"

He really didn't mean it at the time.

I also thought that Emperor Changyuan had a bad character and that was why he was like that...

Emperor Gao Qi stared at him coldly.

The reason why Zhao Peiliang was reused was because of his upright character.

Apart from him, few people in the capital dared to go on a rampage in the prince's palace.

Emperor Gao Qi said: "I know Shangshu Zhao's character well, but don't be too impetuous in everything! I will punish you in seclusion for three days to meditate on your mistakes, and you will be fined one month's salary!"

This punishment is actually very light...

Naturally, there is an emperor's intention in it.

To show his magnanimity.

Secondly, Zhao Peiliang rarely makes mistakes and is an upright person.

This one mistake is enough for Zhao Peiliang to remember forever.

With this feeling of guilt for hurting his son, he will be more loyal to the court in the future.
