"Your Majesty, last year there was a severe drought in Fujian and a rebel army emerged. Now they are recruiting troops under the banner of the son of the former crown prince..."

In the imperial study, the Minister of War reported the matter with some trembling.

There is unrest in South Vietnam right now, and things are happening in Fujian. If war breaks out, the North Border and Mobei will definitely take the opportunity to invade.

"Boom."

The emperor smashed a teacup.

The ministers were so frightened that they knelt down with their heads lowered.

"The banner of the son of the late crown prince? I just crowned Prince Chen as king, but I haven't found him yet. Do these people think I'm a fool?"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

"This person cannot possibly be the son of the late crown prince. He must be using the name of the late crown prince's son..."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind that you named the late Crown Prince's son the Prince of Chen. If he is really the late Crown Prince's son, he must have heard the news. Now he dares to make trouble in Fujian. Someone must be using this incident as an excuse to stir up trouble..."

"Your Majesty, this son of the former crown prince must be a fake."

The ministers knew what the emperor liked to hear, so what they said was very artistic.

The emperor looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face, and then looked at the princes. The princes also looked angry at this time.

"Father, this person must be an imposter."

"Father, you must not forgive this person so easily."

"Father, this person might be the one colluding with South Vietnam, otherwise how could the timing be so coincidental?"

"Father, I think this matter must be thoroughly investigated."

The emperor listened to the words of the princes and then looked at the cabinet ministers.

"Who do you think is suitable to be sent to investigate this matter?"

Upon hearing this, the princes fell silent instantly, and the ministers did not speak at this time.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you send an imperial envoy to go there, and then ask the local generals in Fujian to cooperate in the investigation..."

Hearing this, the emperor, who was about to get angry, narrowed his eyes and looked at them.

"Your Majesty, I suggest sending two imperial envoys, a military general and a civil official. The civil official will be responsible for the investigation. If a fight breaks out, there will also be a military general to command..."

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you send an experienced minister. The current situation in Fujian is unclear..."

"Your Majesty, Nanyue has sent two imperial envoys over there. You can ask them to send people to Fujian to investigate..."

Because it was in the imperial study, although the parties had different opinions, the arguments were not too intense.

Qinhou Mansion.

After paying his respects to his elders, Gu Zhao returned to the Prince's Courtyard.

"Master, Zhu has sent birthday banquet invitations to Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion, Princess Anyang's Mansion, and many other mansions..."

Gu Zhao knew that Zhu would definitely invite a lot of people to the banquet.

A third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue actually held such a grand birthday banquet. How could outsiders not speculate that Assistant Minister Gu was being so extravagant because he had taken bribes?

"Master, in the past few days, Zhu has had contact with some merchants..." Hong'er also reported the news she received.

After hearing Hong'er's news, Gu Zhao spoke.

"Keep sending people to keep an eye on her and keep the evidence."

Zhu now dares to accept the money given by the merchants, but who knows what he will accept in the future.

It’s time for the Gu family to divorce his wife.

Zhu was not the most proud of her life. She killed her mother and became the second wife of Minister Gu.

And now, she wanted to force Zhu to step down from her position as the wife of Minister Gu.
