Great Ye Empress

Chapter 244
"Master Xue..." The eldest prince leaned against the back of the seat, carried his clothes by the hem, and folded his legs.

"Wei Chen is here." Xue Zhi responded quickly.

"Whether it's the disaster relief corruption case or the Taiyuan granary corruption case, this case is too big...someone has to bear it, and the position of the person who bears it is too low. I'm afraid it won't be enough to quell the anger of His Majesty, nor the anger of the common people."

Hearing the first prince's words, Xue Zhi's body trembled, and he didn't even dare to lift his head, the fear in his heart was magnified infinitely.

He had a hunch that the eldest prince was afraid that he would make him, the minister of the household, to blame.

"His Royal Highness..." Xue Zhi looked up at the eldest prince, "We can try to push this matter to the third prince's party, and the minister will find a way!"

Xue Zhi wanted to find a way out for himself.

I saw the eldest prince sighed, got up from the seat, and walked in front of Xue Zhi.

He raised his hand and clasped Xue Zhi's shoulder: "You must know that you have been His Highness's right-hand man all these years! You have made great contributions to His Highness, but if there is a chance, His Highness will protect you!"

"Your Highness!" Xue Zhi's eyes turned red.

"But this time, the matter is really too big, even my Highness can't handle it! You should be loyal to my Highness..." The eldest prince squeezed Xue Zhi's shoulders, "Don't worry, your son Xue Shiro, His Highness will take good care of you, and you will have an infinite future! Including your wife and daughter, after you go, His Highness will also guarantee that their lives will be prosperous, and they will never... be reduced to Jiaofang Division, or be exiled ."

Xue Zhi understood that the first prince had decided to abandon him completely.

If in the past, he said that he would set up a bureau to push the corruption case to the head of the three princes and one party, at least... the first prince would listen to what he said to see if it was feasible.

Or even let him bear all the guilt, let him kill a few members of the Three Princes Party.

But today, the eldest prince didn't even listen to him, so he was about to confess his guilt, and he didn't let him kill the people of the Three Princes Party...

Then there is only one possibility. The first prince and the third prince have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and let him, the minister of the household, do everything in his power to keep the third prince's party, and the position of the minister of the household... will be the first prince's party. people.

Among them, only he was sacrificed.

"The Censor has investigated the case to this point. As the Minister of the Household, you absolutely cannot survive! Anyway, you are all dead. It's better... if you take the initiative to confess your guilt, just say... Although you are greedy, you didn't think about the following. If you are so greedy, how do you decide for yourself, and this Highness will also intercede with the royal father!" The eldest prince said slowly.

Xue Zhi's whole body seemed to be nailed there, looking up at the eldest prince, unable to move.

"In order to prevent you from worrying that Xue Shilang will be arrested and imprisoned after you bear... my Highness has sent someone to invite Xue Shilang, you can rest assured that no one will know, unless it is the father who wants to turn over the prince's mansion for a Xue Shilang. Come here, otherwise no one will be able to catch Shiro, and when the limelight of this disaster relief and corruption case passes, my Highness... will nurture this child well!"

Xue Zhi's eyes widened, the eldest prince wanted to blackmail him with his son's life.

He only felt that the blood was rushing to the top of his head, although his son was a prodigal son, but... but it was also his only blood.

"Go back and think about it! I'm not sure... In the Censor Tai Prison, someone has already recruited you and took the initiative to plead guilty. The punishment is lighter than the last few censors who came back with evidence and found you. Some!" The eldest prince patted Xue Zhi on the shoulder and stood up.

"His Royal Highness! Your Highness!" Xue Zhi walked forward on his knees and grabbed the hem of the eldest prince's clothes, "His Royal Highness... Wei Chen can go to confess his guilt and bear everything! But... Wei Chen does not want his son to be an official again. Come on! Just ask Your Highness to see that Wei Chen has been loyal to His Highness for so many years, let... let Shiro go back to his ancestral home, start a business and be a rich man to live out his life in peace."

Since Xue Zhi entered the eldest prince's door and worked for the eldest prince, it is not that he never thought that he would be liquidated one day, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

If he can live a few more years, he can still arrange a future for his son.

But now the eldest prince wants him to die, his son is still a minor, and he is in the hands of the eldest prince... In the future, he will only become a pawn in the hands of the eldest prince, and he cannot help himself.

He has been a chess piece all his life, his own son... can no longer be a chess piece of a human being!
"His Royal Highness!" Xue Zhi raised his head, tears gathered in his red eyes, "Wei Chen can write a confession tonight, and then commit suicide, just say... just say... I'm worried that if we find Wei Chen's head, it will still be a death sentence, so Wei Chen committed suicide in fear of sin! Please allow His Highness to let Wei Chen send someone to send Shiro away. Wei Chen's wife and daughter have to be entrusted to His Highness to take care of him when they stay in Bianjing! Please see that Wei Chen has no credit and hard work for so many years. Raise your hand, Shirou's child is really unfit to be an official! He's also stupid and can't be used by His Highness."

The eldest prince looked down at Xue Zhi, who was full of fear and pleading. Thinking of these years, Xue Zhi was indeed very useful...

However, the first prince didn't want any changes in this matter, so he said: "Okay... After you leave the confession, this Highness can ask your cronies to send Xue Shilang away, but before the matter settles down, let Xue Shilang go. It's better to stay in the First Prince's Mansion, think about it... Once you die, the Censor Station finds out that Xue Shilang is gone, and posts the sea arrest documents, where can Xue Shilang escape? What if he gets caught?"

Xue Zhi looked up at the eldest prince, knowing that the eldest prince did not believe him.

"Xue Qing, this is for the sake of you and Xue Shilang, Your Highness. Everyone in the Censor Terrace is a good person. Once the sea arrest document is posted, it is safest for Xue Shilang to stay in the First Prince's Mansion. As long as this Highness doesn't fall down... No one dares to search the First Prince's Mansion! After a few years of calm, this Highness will give Xue Shilang a new identity, and let him be a rich man in the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River. The prince spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Xue Zhi could only kowtow: "Wei Chen's life has always belonged to His Highness! Wei Chen's ability to become a household minister is also entirely dependent on His Highness, and he joined His Highness in the first place... Saying that he is willing to go through fire and water for His Highness is definitely not the case. False words! Now that we have reached this stage, as long as Xue Zhi is dead, we can stop the disaster relief and corruption cases and Taiyuan granary corruption cases from Weichen, and Weichen is so happy! Your Highness is waiting for the news... At the latest tomorrow, Weichen will definitely arrange everything. , to die calmly."

As long as his son can live, as long as his son will no longer be a pawn.

Xue Zhi is a wise man. Since he is doomed to die, he might as well speak more beautifully. His son can live...and he also seeks a way out for his wife and daughter.
