Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Recalling the conversation that day, Cen Rui sighed.

At that time, he had just become a relative of the emperor, and he was very cautious no matter what he did, but as time went by, it seemed that he would return to his original form, even though he himself had long since lost the enthusiasm he had before.

As long as his children are fine, no matter what Cen Jing does, he doesn't care.

"At that time, you didn't want to be the biggest toast."

"Now your Cen family has almost taken my trading area as your own. If this trend continues, it will no longer be as simple as toast, but it will become the king and hegemony in the south!"

Zhu Xuan's voice sounded slightly murderous.

It seems that everyone in the Cen family is going to be killed.

He built the trade area, the Cen family is a relative of the emperor, and he pushed Cen Jing to that position. But to do this now is really chilling. Even if all the Cen family members are killed, it is appropriate.

"I deserve to die!"

Cen Rui kept kowtowing and didn't dare to explain. There was no explanation for this kind of thing, so he did it even if he didn't do it.

He just wants to admit his mistake and hope for leniency.

Even though he is a relative of the emperor, this status is not very useful in the face of the real imperial power.

"When you ministers do something wrong, your favorite thing to say is that you deserve to die. I have told many people that if you really thought that you deserved to die, you would have been killed long ago." Zhu Xuan said.

Faced with these words, Cen Rui did not dare to respond.

He continued to kneel in front of Zhu Xuan very carefully.

"I do believe you."

"I can give you another chance. If you have any connection with Cen Jing, just tell it."

"Now that I have said it, I will only punish you. I can let all the descendants of the Cen family of your line go."

"Otherwise, when I find out, things won't be that simple."

Zhu Xuan said calmly.

In fact, Jin Yiwei had already checked on Cen Jing.

The shopkeeper in Panyu also said that Cen Rui had tried to complain to the capital many times, but Cen Jing had blocked him.

Cen Rui seemed to have no problem, but Zhu Xuan asked this deliberately because he wanted Cen Rui to confess. If there was a problem, just confess. It was really no problem. Zhu Xuan could really let it go.

"I have betrayed His Highness's trust."

Cen Rui kowtowed and said, "However, I did not collude with Cen Jing, and even tried to persuade Cen Jing many times. However, my family was controlled by Cen Jing. I am selfish and greedy for life and fear of death. I'm sorry for your highness!"

That being said, he's really fine.

At most, it can be said that I can't help myself.

"Are you sure that everything you said is true and you didn't lie to me?"

Zhu Xuan added: "I will always arrange for Jin Yiwei to investigate. If I find out that you are lying to me, you can imagine how serious the consequences will be."

Cen Rui said with certainty: "I dare not lie to His Highness. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, I just want to die. I hope Your Highness can let my family go."

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan could temporarily believe it, and after thinking about it, he said: "Okay! I will continue to believe in you, but you should no longer be the commander. I will arrange for someone to replace you. Your family in Great Britain, I I will also ask Zheng He to bring him back, from now on..."

He thought for a while and added: "Go back to Shunzhou and farm!"

All his official positions were gone, and everything in the trade area had nothing to do with the Cen family anymore. He could only go back to farming, which meant that Zhu Xuan would also arrange for people to raid his home.

It's definitely not that easy, let the Cen family just let it go.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When Cen Rui heard this, he kowtowed again with tears of gratitude.

This is the best result. He is also glad that he did not mess around with Cen Jing. It's just that Cen Jing's methods are too strong. Even if he is his uncle, he has to be controlled by Cen Jing. It is because of his strength that he can achieve so much. .

He was satisfied to be able to survive.

The edges and corners on his body were smoothed off at some point.

Zhu Xuan looked at Cen Rui, thought for a while and said: "Hou Xian, make arrangements for Hua'er and Cen Rui to meet!" Then Cen Rui was taken away.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Before leaving, Cen Rui kowtowed heavily again.

After Cen Jing and others were brought back, Zhu Xuan thoroughly cleaned the trade area.

As for other trading areas, they will definitely be investigated. Now to alert the snake, the Jin Yiwei who has been arranged to go in can see the snake's movements. After a thorough investigation, the snake is wailing all over the place.

Zhu Xuan now also has something fortunate.

"Fortunately, the White Lotus Sect did not penetrate into the trade area or do anything in the trade area."

The current White Lotus Sect is working very hard to rebel, and it seems that they have no business ideas. Otherwise, the consequences will not be so simple, and they will definitely become more and more serious.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, Hou Xian came back and said, "Xu Qi is here."

Xu Qi, the former prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, was later transferred to Hangzhou Prefecture as the prefect.

It is easy for him to come, the distance is not too far.

"Bring him in!"

Zhu Xuan said again.

After a while, Xu Qi came to Zhu Xuan and said loudly: "Meet your highness!"

In fact, he knew why Zhu Xuan asked him to go to Beijing. The matter of Panyu Trade Zone had already been spread throughout the world.

Zhu Xuan still had a good impression of Xu Qi. It could be seen at that time that Xu Qi was a person who was willing to do practical things. For example, when there was a typhoon in Panyu, he could do many things by himself.

Able and responsible.

"Why did the trade area I left behind become like this?"

Zhu Xuan asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

Sure enough, it's because of this!

Xu Qi quickly explained: "Back to Your Highness, I don't know very well. Before I left Guangzhou, everything was normal in the trade area. There was nothing wrong with it. According to my understanding, Cen Jing and others did so much when they took office as the new magistrate. ”

When he was still there, the trading area was indeed normal.

"Do you know what the relationship between the new prefect and Wu Yongfeng is?"

Zhu Xuan asked again.

Xu Qi said: "It is said that Nie Deyou is Wu Yongfeng's classmate."

Zhu Xuan asked calmly: "Since you know, why don't you report it?"

How could Xu Qi have thought of so much at that time? After he left Panyu, he couldn't control those things, but he couldn't say that, so he had to admit his guilt and said: "This is my negligence!"

Zhu Xuan asked him again, "Are you sure you didn't say so much just to shirk responsibility?"

"Absolutely not!"

Regarding this point, Xu Qi still firmly denied it, saying: "I can guarantee with my head that I have not shirked my responsibility. What I said is true. When I was still here, Wu Yongfeng and the others were really normal."

In other words, it was those complicated relationships that gave them the idea of ​​corruption. Of course, it was also because they wanted more benefits and would do anything by any means necessary.

"Do you think the trade zone is right or wrong?"

Zhu Xuan asked with a sigh.

"Yes!"

Xu Qi was very sure: "With the trade zone, the lives of the people have obviously improved a lot. Your Highness has the money to build water conservancy projects and railways. Corruption is just a few individuals. There are actually more corrupt officials. Do we not need officials to govern the country?" ?”

If a country is run without officials, then it is not called a country. (End of chapter)
