What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 82 Xu Jingzhong

Xu Jingzhong called a few more victims, and they knelt on the ground tremblingly and kowtowed a few times.

"Caomin is a barefoot doctor in the village. After a disaster, he came to the capital to find a way to survive. The grassroots man knew there was something wrong as soon as he drank it, and he collapsed in private. That's how he found a way to survive."

"Caominyuan is an accountant. After these days, I have calculated that less than half of the things you sent to the emperor have been consumed, and the rest is missing."

The old emperor stood up with a 'bass', his cheek muscles bulging slightly.

"There is a problem with the porridge, and nothing is given to the victims. What do you say, Ke'er?"

"I would like to report to my father, those things of yours are indeed not used up, and they are still stored in the warehouse of the household department. As for the porridge minister, I have never cooked it."

As long as he clings to it and refuses to admit it, who can do anything?
The evidence has long been gone, the dead are scattered, and the money is also taken. He did not do very well, at least three points.

If these disaster victims dare to talk nonsense, they don't have to live.

Xu Jingzhong suddenly spoke violently.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clearly lying. The mass graves outside the city and the piles of corpses in the woods in the outskirts are evidence. They were all poisoned to death. If the Emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask for an autopsy."

Xie Chenke suddenly raised his head, his hands clenched into fists.

"The prince thinks he didn't offend Mr. Xu. I don't know why you insist on it so hard?"

"No reason, it's just that as a censor, I should speak for the people and speak for the facts"

"Father, don't believe it. My son has been working hard to help the disaster. Everyone has seen it. Later, most of the deaths were due to the epidemic. My son didn't hide anything. Please father to see clearly."

Each side of the rhetoric, are convincing.

The officials didn't know who to trust, and the old emperor was helpless.

He waved his hand and said "I will investigate this matter", then got up and left.

Luk Fook loudly announced his withdrawal from court and left in a hurry.

The hall was in chaos.

Some of the officials were eager to flee, some gathered around and asked Xu Yushi if it was true or not, and more people stayed where they were and waited to watch.

No matter how powerful the old Wangge is, it is not so powerful that it has more prestige than the emperor.

There are still quite a few officials secretly waiting for his bad luck.

"Don't talk about it, let's go"

Leaning on crutches and waving his sleeves, Wang Ge took a deep look at Xie Chenke, and staggered away.

Many officials followed suit, dispersing some if they could.

Soon there were only half of the people left in the main hall. They, headed by Xu Yushi, gathered around and looked at the prince.

"His Royal Highness, our lord has an invitation"

It was Wang Shoufu's confidant servant who passed the word.

Xie Chenke glared at Xu Yushi bitterly, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

At this time, Liufu also sent someone to call Xu Jingzhong away.

Royal study.

The old emperor dismissed everyone and confronted Xu Jingzhong.

"Do you know what you are doing and what will happen to you?"

"I know", Xu Yushi straightened his back.

"Then have you made all the preparations?" the old emperor asked again.

Xu Jingzhong's eyes were serious, and his waist was straightened again.

"I... also know"

"He is the crown prince that I have just conferred. The canonization ceremony has not yet been done, and his wives and concubines have not had time to move to the East Palace yet."

"If you dismantle his platform, it is equivalent to dismantling my platform. Are you not afraid that I will chop off your head?"

Xu Jingzhong took half a step forward and knelt down on one knee.

"If the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die. If the king wants his ministers to die on the third watch, the ministers will definitely not stay until the fifth watch."

"Presumptuous!", the old emperor slapped the table heavily.

"emperor!"

He really seemed to be planning for the worst.

"You know that what I said is true, and you also know that His Royal Highness did do those things, right?"

The old emperor was silent for a while, then got up and walked to Xu Jingzhong, looking down at him.

"Then, you should also know how I will handle this case"

Xu Jingzhong stood up straight.

"Yes, I know that"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, your parents are dead, you haven't married yet, you have no children, you can die in peace."

"I only ask for one thing, and that is to tell the truth. As long as the emperor knows the truth, my mission will be fulfilled."

"come"

The old emperor took a deep breath, as if he had made a great determination.

Four imperial guards came in outside the door, and the old emperor gave orders loudly.

"Drag this nonsense lunatic out and put him in a prison awaiting trial"

He smashed a cup, and continued to order: "The king of Chu is in charge of this case."

Since he works with the prince, the sixth child will definitely find out the 'truth'.

"Yes!"

Liufu also went out to proclaim the decree.

A big and vigorous case before the imperial court was solved in such a short and hard way.

Before Xu Jingzhong was escorted away, he looked back deeply and cried out in grief.

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty, you are the head of all the ministers, and you are the only one in this world. Why do you listen to others? Your Majesty, you should stand up!"

People take tea to cool off.

Xu Jingzhong's shout still seemed to be in his ears, and he couldn't get rid of it for a long time.

The old emperor leaned on the grand master's chair as if his soul had been sucked out, and suddenly he hugged his head and sobbed.

"Why don't I want to, how can I not know, but I can't do it, I just can't do it"

"It's too difficult to be an emperor. Those old officials are getting more and more cunning, and they are all digging holes for me."

"Father, my son has failed your expectations. You only said that your son is a benevolent emperor, but you misunderstood the person. I am not a good emperor."

Back in the day, the late emperor held his hand and entrusted him earnestly.

"Father, in this life, he expanded the territory and conquered all directions, and caused too many murders. Fortunately, he rested and recuperated in the rest of his life, leaving you a prosperous and peaceful country."

"My son has kindness in his heart, and he will be a good emperor with both toughness and softness, and a benevolent monarch who loves the people like a son"

It's a pity that the first emperor saw kindness, but not cowardice.

Just a few years after he came to the throne, he was fascinated by the prosperity, and left everything to his father-in-law, Wang Ge, to take care of him.

When he finally came to his senses, he realized that they were going too far, and they were no longer able to control them.

It's been half my life like this.

Up to now, Wangge's old man is so powerful, and all the officials are fooled, only a few dare to speak the truth, and there is no good end.

Now he wants to kill the last loyal minister with his own hands.

Liu Fu calmly looked at the cowardly emperor in front of him, with his fat body, bloated facial features, and the blush and vainness caused by long-term excessive sex.

Everyone in the world is suffering, and the emperor is just a useless waste at the moment.

"What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? That person just now was clearly talking nonsense. His Highness the Crown Prince is very capable. Everyone has witnessed this with their own eyes."

The old emperor looked at Liu Fu calmly, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"When did you join him?"

Liufu was taken aback, knowing that he was indeed too obvious, so he didn't even try to hide it, just smiled.

"I don't have any skills, I just want to live a few more days. Your Majesty, please don't blame this old slave. Besides, I didn't do anything to offend you."

The old emperor smiled wryly.

"Yeah, I didn't do anything wrong"

"Then do you think it's okay for me to hand over the case to Lao Liu?"

"Of course it is appropriate. His Highness the King of Chu has always been capable. His Highness will definitely be able to investigate this matter and return His Highness the Crown Prince's innocence."
