"How could this be? How could the military horse field's high-quality fodder become inferior fodder? Could it be Chu Tianyu's doing? "Hongyuan Emperor gritted his teeth.
Dong Chang Feng immediately said, "Yes. The military horse field's fodder was originally supplied by the Zhu Family Pasture, but the First Prince thought the Zhu Family Pasture's fodder was too expensive. After he accepted the Gao Family Pasture's money, he changed the fodder to the Gao Family Pasture's inferior fodder. "
Chen Ping said, "Not only that, the First Prince also changed all the horse's gear to inferior ones. The soldiers used inferior horse's gear, many fell off their horses and got injured. The price difference was all embezzled by the First Prince. We found out that the First Prince embezzled three hundred thousand taels of silver in just seven days! "
"What? This unfilial son, he really pisses me off! "Hongyuan Emperor said as he clenched his fists.
He angrily said, "Come, take this unfilial son to the palace. I want to personally interrogate him!"
"Yes, your majesty." The imperial guards said and went to catch Chu Tianyu.
When Chu Xuanchen saw this, the corners of his mouth slightly rose.
He looked at Dong Chang Feng and casually said, "General Dong, the military horses are related to the life and death of Chu. It's a very important matter. Are you sure this is true?"
Dong Chang Feng firmly said, "Your Highness, this matter is absolutely true. Some of the inferior fodder bought by the First Prince was infested with worms, some were moldy and rotten, and some were mixed with a lot of sand. They can't be fed to the horses at all. Most of our horses come from abroad. It's difficult to raise them with high-quality fodder, let alone these moldy fodder. "
Chen Ping said, "Your majesty, I also checked the horse's gear and found that these inferior horse's gear will break when stepped on. They can't be used for marching and fighting. If the soldiers use these kinds of horse's gear in battle, I'm afraid they will only be sent to the enemy. "
When Hongyuan Emperor heard this, his face turned ashen.
"Your majesty, we also found out that after the First Prince learned of the death of the horses, he was so scared that he couldn't live. He was afraid of being exposed, so he threatened the soldiers and asked them to keep it a secret. If anyone dares to leak this matter, he will take revenge. Fortunately, there are many righteous soldiers in the military horse field. They told us about this matter. "General Lin Yue said.
"When we found out about this matter, we immediately ordered the soldiers to replace the fodder with high-quality fodder. We also ordered the veterinarians to treat the horses. The condition of the horses' condition." Chen Ping said.
At this time, Hongyuan Emperor was trembling.
He clutched his chest and said angrily, "This evil creature, if I find out that he really took bribes, I will definitely not let him off."
Very quickly, the imperial guards went to Prince Jin's mansion and captured Chu Tianyu.
At this time, Chu Tianyu reeked of alcohol. His clothes were untidy and his eyes were slightly closed. He looked like he hadn't woken up yet.
Seeing this, everyone shook their heads.
You reek of alcohol in broad daylight, where's your decency? Men, bring him to his knees! "
Someone's You be be's Emperor's
Chu Tianyu was originally in a daze, but when he heard Hongyuan Emperor's words, he suddenly woke up.
He looked up and found that he was taken to the throne room. All the ministers were looking at him with disdain.
As for the Hongyuan Emperor, he was glaring at him with killing intent.
Seeing the killing intent in Hongyuan Emperor's eyes, Chu Tianyu suddenly sobered up.
"Father … Imperial Father, what happened? Why did you ask people to take me to the throne room? "Chu Tianyu was scared.
"Don't you know why I caught you?" Hongyuan Emperor angrily said.
Chu Tianyu was scared by Hongyuan Emperor's voice. Did his father know that he was corrupt and killed the horses?
He said in fear: "Father, please tell me, I … don't … don't know."
"You dare to play dumb in the face of death, unfilial son, I think you don't want to live anymore!" Hongyuan Emperor said, picked up a stack of memorials on the table and fiercely threw them at Chu Tianyu.
Chu Tianyu quickly covered his head.
Hongyuan Emperor's voice came from the top of his head. "Animal, look at these memorials, they are all about you. If you don't tell me the truth, I will immediately cut off your head! "
"Ah … Father, please don't be angry. I will confess, I will confess now."
Chu Tianyu was scared and said in a trembling voice, "Father, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have replaced the high-quality fodder and horse harness with the inferior ones. It's all my fault that those horses died. Father, please spare my life! "
Hearing Chu Tianyu confess, Hongyuan Emperor was so angry that he walked down the stairs and kicked him. "You good-for-nothing thing, I'm so angry! Before you made mistakes again and again, I spared you time and time again. I thought you could turn over a new leaf and turn over a new leaf. Who knew you would become more and more outrageous. You don't deserve to be my son! "
Hearing this, Chu Tianyu was so scared that his lips trembled. "Father, it's just a few horses that died. Is it so serious? At worst, I will return all the money I embezzled and ask father to forgive me this time. This time, I will take good care of the horse farm and will never let this kind of thing happen again. "
"Isn't it just a few horses that died?" Hearing this, Hongyuan Emperor was so angry that his heart hurt.
He looked at Chu Xuanchen and said, "The Emperor of Li, in the past, Chang Yu was in charge of the horse farm. You are very familiar with military horses. Tell me the importance of military horses and let this unfilial son understand why he died! "
Chu Xuanchen stepped forward and said, "Yes. Your Majesty, horses are the foundation of the country! Horses are the most important strategic resource. The strength and number of horses is related to the rise and fall of a country. Throughout history, the reason why many dynasties were strong was because they had the best warhorses and the most powerful cavalry. Only with war horses can the cavalry be invincible on the battlefield, sweeping everything before them. "
"Military horses are not only the key to victory or defeat in a war, but also the most important means of transportation. Now, a large number of horses in the horse farm are sick. If we are not careful, they will all die. Once this happens, the country's strength will weaken and the military strength will also be weakened. If the enemy's cavalry attacks now, it may be difficult for our country to contend with the enemy with only the infantry. "
After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he coldly swept a glance at Chu Tianyu.
Chu Tianyu hadn't really taken power yet, but he had done this kind of thing. If he was allowed to take power, in the long run, Chu would not be a country.
Hearing Chu Xuanchen's words, Chu Tianyu's face turned from white to green, and then from green to black.
He knew that horses were important, but he didn't know it was this important.
He was so scared that he lowered his head and trembled all over. He didn't dare to say a word.
Hearing this, Hongyuan Emperor gnashed his teeth and stared at Chu Tianyu.
This unfilial son dared to touch his country's foundation.
Touching his country's foundation was like touching his country and wanting his life. How could he let him go so easily?
He angrily said, "Unfilial son, did you hear that? The horse farm is related to the foundation of the country. You dare to downplay it. You don't deserve to be in charge of the horse farm. Eunuch Xu, listen to me. "
"This servant is here." Eunuch Xu said.
