Originally, Li Chong's expression was casual, but when he heard the last sentence, he sat upright in an instant, with a serious expression on his face, "Did you check for mistakes?"

Mr. Jing shook his head, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I can assure you that there is absolutely no mistake in the investigation. I found out that the copper mine is near a village in Wuyang Prefecture. There has been no grass growing on those mountains, and even if you want to collect firewood, the villagers I seldom go there, perhaps because the copper mine has never been discovered.

Somehow, the eldest prince and Lu Guogong knew about it, and secretly mined it.However, the eldest prince and Lu Guogong acted very cautiously. The obvious owner of the copper mine was not the two of them, but the Xu family in Yuyang. "

Li Chong then muttered, "Yuyang Xu's family?"

Immediately following Li Chong's brows were raised high, with a surprised expression on his face, "Is it the Yuyang Xu family of Yushi Zuozhongcheng Xu Wenbin?"

Mr. Jing nodded, "That's right, it's the family of Yu Shi Zuo Zhongcheng. The Xu family bought those mountains, said to the public that they were mining stones, and hired young and middle-aged people from the village to dig stones. If it wasn't for my whim, It’s really impossible to discover this secret.”

Li Chong's complexion fluctuated, "If the Xu family is the owner of the copper mine on the surface, but the elder brother and Lu Guogong are behind the scenes, then doesn't it mean that Xu Wenbin is from the elder brother's faction?"

While secretly observing Li Chong's expression, Mr. Jing said with emotion, "Yeah, who would have thought that Liu Liangji, a servant of the Ministry of Punishment, was inclined towards the eldest prince before, but now there is another censor Zuo Zhongcheng is actually inclined towards the First Prince. In this court, how many high-ranking courtiers are still inclined towards the First Prince? A title of eldest son is too legitimate, no wonder these courtiers Will secretly support the First Prince."

Li Chong's complexion changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth, "The eldest son, the elder brother, besides the elder brother, how can I compare with me?"

Brother Mingming is extremely stupid and greedy, how many people have been killed?In this way, the father did not do anything to the eldest brother. In the past, the father loved him the most, but now the person who wants his life is also the father.

hehe.Li Chong sneered again and again, with dark eyes.

On the other hand, Mr. Jing added to the anger calmly, "His Royal Highness, when it comes to the eldest son, the eldest prince should be chosen as the heir apparent. In terms of elders, the eldest prince should also be elected as the heir apparent. As long as the eldest prince is there, there is no way to choose a virtuous person." Your Highness, do you know why the eldest prince has so many courtiers to support him?"

There was a deep meaning in his eyes, which made Li Chong frown, "Why?"

Mr. Jing smiled, "It is precisely because the First Prince is inferior to His Highness in everything except the First Prince, so it is the best for the courtiers. Once the First Prince ascends the throne, it will be easy to fool the Great Prince." Prince!"

Li Chong was startled, and his eyes widened slightly. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Mr. Jing's words were very reasonable, and he couldn't help asking, "So, now he is still proclaiming that he is a neutral courtier in the court, but in fact, most of his inclinations are inclinations." Brother Yu's?"

Mr. Jing did not answer directly, and gave a specious guidance, "Look, Your Highness, if Liu Liangji, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, was not implicated in the prison by the First Prince, who would have known that he was inclined to the First Prince? If I hadn't found out that the Xu family was mining The copper mine, the First Prince and Lu Guogong are behind the scenes, Xu Wenbin is still the upright Yushi Zuo Zhongcheng."

Li Chong clenched his fists, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. Before, he would put his eldest brother in his eyes, but after his people exposed his embezzlement of money for disaster relief, he gradually stopped treating his elder brother as a threat After all, the elder brother is so stupid, how could the courtiers support him?

Li Chong himself never imagined that one day, stupidity would become the reason for the courtiers' secret support.

Thinking of what he was going to do, Li Chong's expression changed several times. Even if he really imprisoned his father, with those courtiers, if those courtiers refused to recognize him as emperor, they insisted on supporting his elder brother in the name of the eldest son What about the superior?
Thinking of this, Li Chong shook his head violently, no, the righteous reputation of the eldest son is always a threat, and this threat has to be removed.

Li Chong looked at Mr. Jing with piercing eyes, "Sir, you said just now that the copper mine is the elder brother and Lu Guogong behind the scenes, have you found any evidence?"

Mr. Jing showed a embarrassed look, "Your Highness, I have done my best to find out these things. If Your Highness can give me more staff, maybe I can find out their account books."

Li Chong's eyes lit up, "You mean the ledger?"

Mr. Jing nodded, "At the beginning, I found out that Duke Lu's mansion sent things to the First Prince's mansion on time every two months, and then followed the Duke Lu's mansion to find out that Wuyang also sent things every two months. After sending something to Duke Lu's mansion once, they found the copper mine and the Xu family along this line.

Since the copper mine involved three companies, and it was such an important thing as a copper mine, there should be an account book.Your Highness, if you want to take this opportunity to bring down the eldest prince, you must always find conclusive evidence. Otherwise, if the eldest prince bites back and accuses you of slander, you will end up with the reputation of slandering your brother. "

Li Chong's face turned green, but he didn't refute Mr. Jing.

Mr. Jing continued, "If you can't find the account book, Your Highness, if you expose this copper mine, you will only pull Xu Wenbin off the horse. You have cut off the eldest prince's financial resources, and made the eldest prince lose a courtier who supported him. During the previous holidays, the relationship between you, Your Highness, and the Eldest Prince was really in an endless situation.

If you take action this time and cannot bring down the First Prince, it will be the First Prince's turn to stare at Your Highness all day long, waiting for you to make a mistake. "

The last sentence made Li Chong's heart tremble, thinking that even Mr. Jing had kept his secret from him about the cooperation with Xiliang. Inch."

Mr. Jing nodded with a smile, "That's the reason, and you see, Your Highness, digging copper mines privately is a serious crime of ransacking one's home and beheading one's head. The Duke of Lu helped the eldest prince to take the blame last time, and now he is still thinking about it behind closed doors in the Duke's mansion. If evidence is found this time, His Highness can not only bring down the eldest prince, but also drag Duke Lu into the water. At that time, His Majesty will use his strength to deal with Duke Lu himself as he did last time. Without Duke Lu As a backer for the First Prince, even if the First Prince saves his life, there is nothing he can do."

Li Chong's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, "It's Mr. Jing who is so powerful that he was able to find such a crucial handle on elder brother. Okay, I will give you manpower later, and let you check the account books."

Mr. Jing said with a slight smile, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will find out the account book as soon as possible."
