As soon as these memorials were published, the court naturally couldn't sit still, but it was impossible to solve them. They discussed them one by one, and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, hiding in vain, and watching the situation quietly.

King Lu, King Zhao and others were still walking around, attracting more people to write letters to them.

Before noon, King Lu and others arrived at Jiading Bo Mansion.

Jiading Bo, Zhou Kui, was the father of the Zhou empress Chongzhen, and the grandfather of the current emperor.

At this moment, Zhou Kui was lying on the bed, looking pale, dying, his eyes were dull, and he kept coughing.

King Lu and others already knew about Jiading Bo. Seeing his appearance, they were not depressed, but instead were secretly happy.

King Dai sat beside the bed and sighed: Jiading Bo, you are still good. After all, my house was saved, but I had nothing left, so I fell into trouble alone in the capital.

King Zhao said: Jiading Bo, please rest assured to recuperate. The emperor is young and needs someone to protect him. The queen is loyal and wise, so you can’t have any more trouble.

King Xiang said bitterly: Yes, Jiading Bo, please keep it safe. Look at us, we don’t even have a place to live. We wanted to ask the emperor for some money to settle down, but who knew that those big men in the court bullied the emperor’s young, not only did they not give us any money, but they also drove us back.

Even if Zhou Kui could feel at ease, he couldn't hear it at the end. He struggled to sit up and coughed violently and said: What are you saying? They bullied the emperor?

Several princes looked at each other, and King Lu said with concern: Jiading, lying down, the emperor was young after all, and the late emperor, the late queen and other brothers had all been killed, and there were no other uncles and elders, and there were no help. You also know that the adults in the court dared to bully the late emperor, let alone the emperor

Zhou Kui coughed violently, his face turned red, and he struggled and said angrily: People come! Carry me into the palace! Carry me into the palace!

The servants quickly dissuaded, but Zhou Kui was not willing to listen. Someone bullied his grandson and the current emperor. How could he tolerate his grandfather and father-in-law?

King Lu and others watched Zhou Kui being carried out and looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

With Zhou Kui, the father-in-law, entering the palace, how can those people hide? He can still turn a deaf ear to the emperor!

Not long after, Zhou Kui was carried into Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Cixuan was shocked when he learned that Zhou Kui was seriously ill. He hurriedly came to see him. Looking at Zhou Kui who was lying on the chair, looking pale, as if he was about to fail, he said nervously: Taigong, why are you here?

Zhou Kui looked at Zhu Cilang, held his hand, tears in his eyes, and said tremblingly: Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you, I've let Your Majesty be bullied.

Zhu Ciyang was still a little confused, so he took Zhou Kui's hand and said: Taigong, what happened?

Zhou Kui lost a wealth of wealth and died in his children, especially the queen's daughter and the emperor's son-in-law died in his country. He was in pain in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. He just cried and cried: Your Majesty, the late emperor died, the world was shattered, and the court officials were ambitious and did not take Your Majesty seriously. Your Majesty, what you can rely on now is not those foreign ministers, but our blood relatives, and the royal family.

Although Zhu Cixuan was young, he was also smart. He immediately understood and said softly: Taigong, did he come for the salary of the kings?

Zhou Kui's face was pale, his voice was trembling, and he coughed from time to time, saying: Your Majesty, it's not a matter of salary. The royal family is the most powerful pillar of the emperor. With them, foreign ministers dare not be arrogant and must not cut off their own arms.

Zhu Cilang looked at Zhou Kui's pale expression, and the so-called "human words are good" when he is about to die. He couldn't help but frown and think, and for a moment, he looked at Li Zhong again.

Li Zhong is now playing a big eunuch who is loyal to his duties and devoted himself to the little emperor. He bows down and says: Long live the emperor, I think what Jiading Bo said is reasonable.

Zhu Ciyang frowned, thinking about this in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out at all. He looked at Li Zhong and said: Then, what should I do if the treasury has no money?

Jiading Bo suddenly coughed violently and said anxiously: Your Majesty, don't be deceived by them. The thieves are plundering the capital. There are at least 30 million. He must not take them all away. He must have been hidden by foreign ministers. He hides it from you.

Li Zhong was stunned and said: Jiading Bo, what does this mean?

Zhu Cixuan also looked at him. Thirty million yuan was a huge sum of money, so why was there no news at all?

No one has ever told him.

Zhou Kui naturally inferred that because he made a large part of it!

Zhou Kui couldn't explain clearly, his face turned red with a violent cough. He grabbed Zhu Cilang's hand and said with difficulty: Your Majesty, the outer court is not trustworthy!

Zhu Ciyang suddenly remembered something and turned to Li Zhong: Eunuch Li, I remember that my father’s treasury has some money. How much does it cost? Where are you going now?

Li Zhong immediately looked up and thought about it. He thought carefully and said: The treasury has always been under the jurisdiction of the king and the king. I don’t know the specific amount. Later, the thief entered the capital and I protect you. The king and the king followed the late emperor. The specific whereabouts should be the thief, and then I don’t know.

Zhu Cilang didn't know the details of the treasury, but he always felt that it should be a lot. In addition, Li Zicheng's request for "salary assistance" in the capital, there should be a large sum of silver, so it was not too late to take it out of the capital.

Zhu Cixuan was a little suspicious of Zhou Zheng, and raised his face and said: Didn’t Zheng Xibo mention it to you?

Li Zhong's eyes suddenly tightened, and he immediately thought that Zhu Cilang would definitely not know his relationship with Zhou Zheng. He shook his head calmly and said: Never.

Zhu Cilang said with a tight face: "The chief minister is here to see me, by the way, there is also the Minister of Justice."

Li Zhong knew that Zhu Cilang was not stupid, he was very smart. He probably suspected that Zhou Zheng had hidden the money and responded as usual, and sent someone to spread Zhou Yanru and Li Hengbing, the Minister of Justice.

Zhou Yanru and Li Hengbing soon arrived at the Qianqing Palace. They looked at Zhou Kui who was lying on the chair and coughing constantly, and saluted to Zhu Cilang who was standing: Please see Your Majesty.

Zhu Cilang said with a stern face: Zhou Aiqing, I ask you, have you ever seen the huge amount of money and food that the thief had plundered in the capital?

Li Zicheng plundered not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also "military rations", but also a considerable number, and it was burned out in the future.

Zhou Yanru had never seen it before, but he knew very well in his heart that it was all in Zhou Zheng's hands. He pretended to hesitate for a while and said: "The old minister has never seen it before, I guess he had hidden it."

Zhu Ciyang actually had doubts about Zhou Yanru. No one knew that such a large sum of money could not be hidden. He frowned and looked at Li Hengbing, saying: Li Aiqing, have you never seen it?

Li Hengbing had no expression on his wooden face and said: Your Majesty, when he conquered Xibo, there was chaos inside and outside the capital. Someone saw the thieves transporting dozens of taels out of the capital. Later, the thieves were defeated, and the carriages were missing. Recently, I have searched for the remnants of the thieves in the capital and found some clues, which should be buried somewhere outside the city.
