The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

Autumn is not yet known, and the wind and rain are clear.

The strong wind blew the big raindrops against the window frames, making them crackle. Soon, the rain on the eaves flowed down rapidly, forming a rain curtain and forming a small stream when it landed on the ground.

The autumn rain brought a chill, and a cold wind blew suddenly. People in the house should have put on more clothes, but their foreheads were covered with sweat.

"They were all beaten by the third brother on the neck, what a bunch of trash!" The prince kicked over a stool, his face full of rage.

In the past few days, all the businesses he had worked hard to build were destroyed.

There will be many places that will need money in the future, and now the Ministry of Works’ way of making money has been cut off.

Chu Ze's move was too cruel. Chu Ze had been enjoying great success in the court these days. How could he swallow this humiliation!

The wind and rain outside are getting stronger, and I can hardly see the sky and the earth clearly.

A man came in from outside the East Palace. Although he was holding an umbrella, he was already soaked.

But he didn't care at all and still looked happy.

"Master Sang, why are you here in such heavy rain?"

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The palace maid quickly held an umbrella for him and led him to the study.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood."

"Your Highness, Lord Sang is here."

As soon as Sang Hai entered the room, he smiled and bowed: "Your Highness, great joy!"

The prince snorted coldly: "Why are you happy?"

"My subordinates found out that Jiang Zhao, the governor of Nanzhili, was smuggling salt, and Ding Fan, the deputy envoy of the Xuanwei Envoy's Office, concealed the gold mine and did not report it. Although they did not mine it privately, we can still make a big fuss about it!"

Upon hearing this, the prince and his companions were surprised.

"really?"

"I have sent someone to re-check, and the situation is true!"

The prince was ecstatic: "God is helping me! Chu Ze cut off my financial resources, I will also cut off his!"

Someone exclaimed: "This Third Prince is really brave."

The prince snorted coldly.

He only secretly dug some silver from the national treasury under his father's nose, but he didn't expect Chu Ze to expand his ways of making money thousands of miles away.

The money went into Chu Ze's pocket before it entered the national treasury.

Smuggling salt and hiding gold mines, how daring!

"Get ready. Tomorrow morning, I will catch Chu Ze off guard!"

……

The night is still young, the courtyard is lit by fire, a gentleman has arrived, and the sound of phoenixes is heard.

Ever since the Ministry of Revenue corruption case broke out, Chu Ze and his faction have been very active in the morning court.

The prince and his group exchanged glances and tried hard to suppress the corners of their mouths.

Chu Ze entered the hall and smiled gently: "My royal brother, you came really early today. I hope my father won't be so angry today."

The prince glanced at him without saying a word, looking unfathomable.

Let this guy be proud for a while.

At this time, Chu Heng came over with sleepy eyes, and the prince and Chu Ze greeted him in a good mood.

"Fifth brother is also unusually early today."

"Fifth brother has gone to the Ministry of Justice. His spirit and energy are completely different now."

Chu Heng yawned, spread his hands and said lazily: "I am too lazy to dress and comb my hair, and I am always calm. You are forcing me to do something. How can I understand anything about handling cases?"

At this time, a voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers stood up.

In the past few days, Emperor Zhaolie has been criticizing the prince's faction in the morning court, while Chu Ze's faction and the neutral faction are either gloating or watching the show as if it has nothing to do with them.

After knocking for a few days, it was obvious that Emperor Zhaolie did not intend to continue today.

Eunuch Quan flicked his whisk and said, "If you have something to say, please get up and report it. If not, please leave the court."

The prince immediately gave a look to the person behind him, and that person stood up and walked forward holding the imperial tablet.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." After saying this, he took out a memorial from his sleeve pocket and held it above his head.

Eunuch Quan immediately came to take the memorial and present it to Emperor Zhaolie.

Except for a few who knew the situation, the rest of the ministers below were watching curiously.

Chu Ze turned his head to look at the prince, who was also staring at him with a malicious smile on his lips. Chu Ze suddenly felt something was wrong.

As expected, Emperor Zhaolie threw the memorial aside and said in a cold voice: "Smuggling salt and hiding gold mines! Is this Nanli Province planning to rebel?"

When Chu Ze heard the words "Nanli Province", his heart trembled.

Most of his money came from this line. A few years ago, I don't know how my father got the news, and he executed Weng Youcai, disrupting his information for many years. He just reorganized the layout, so why did something go wrong there again?

"Mu Zhuo, Zhou Qun!"

The Minister of Revenue Mu Zhuo and the Minister of Justice Zhou Qun stood up together and said, "I am here!"

"have a look."

Mu Zhou and Zhou looked at each other, and Zhou Qun stepped forward and picked up the letter.

The two of them took a closer look and immediately realized that the matter was of great importance.

Emperor Zhaolie said, "Whether there is silver or not depends on your ability!"

"I accept your order!"

Especially the Minister of Justice Zhou Qun, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

He handed the case of investigating corruption in the Ministry of Works to Luan An, and now he is going to investigate Nanli Province.

This would offend both the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

But since the emperor was watching, he had to investigate.

After a morning court session, the smiles shifted from Chu Ze's group to the prince's group.

"Brother, are you being too cruel?"

"When it comes to ruthlessness, I can never compare to you, my royal brother." The prince just felt relaxed all over, and walked out of the hall while saying hello to the ministers in a swagger.

Looking at the arrogant figure from behind, Chu Ze almost bit his teeth.

This gold mine was discovered only half a month ago, and he hasn't had time to take any action yet. How did Chu Jing know about it?

There were also people smuggling salt. On the surface, they were just a group of pirates and had nothing to do with Jiang and Zhao.

Chu Ze left the main hall and went to the Yunguang Hall.

When Concubine Xian learned about this, she was also puzzled.

"How did that idiot prince know that?"

"I can't figure it out either. I think we were careless and revealed a flaw."

The virtuous concubine was silent for a moment, then quickly spoke: "We can only consider ourselves unlucky in this matter. To accomplish great things, one must have the determination to cut off one's own arm. As for Nanli Province, we will cut it off."

Chu Ze was extremely reluctant to let go, so how could Concubine Xian bear to do so?

She started out planning to use the Gusu Pei family as a base to support their great cause.

But this road was cut off seven years ago.

In the past few years, Chu Ze grew up, took over these matters, and revitalized the chess game in Nanli Province.

"Mother knows you are reluctant to let go, and mother is also in pain. It's better to just break an arm than to wait for the poison to spread throughout the body."

Chu Ze gritted his teeth and said, "I know about this. I will send someone to deal with it right away."

"To deal with it more thoroughly, your father asked Mu Zhuo and Zhou Qun to investigate. Mu Zhuo is a stubborn person and is not easy to bribe. Zhou Qun is smooth and worldly-wise, you can give it a try."

"it is good."

Concubine Xian sighed and said, "This is how the world works. Things change over time. The prince is taking revenge on the Ministry of Works for corruption. You cut off his financial resources, and he is just returning the favor."

"He suddenly has a brain. I'm not used to it."

Chu Jing really bit off a piece of his flesh this time, he must find a chance to repay him!

"Mother, did Father say we'll be doing winter hunting this year?"

"I haven't heard from your father yet, but if you have any plans, mother can mention it to him."

"Thank you, mother."
