Chapter 2522
Mr. Zheng entered the imperial study room and knelt down directly to the emperor. He didn't say anything to pave the way, and he didn't make excuses for himself. He came here to confess his guilt.

The emperor knowingly asked: "What is Zheng Aiqing doing? Get up and talk."

"Your Majesty, if I dare not stand up, I am guilty."

"Oh? What's your crime? Let's hear it."

Master Zheng was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the emperor, why did the emperor ask such a question, if he had already read the roster, he should be very clear why he came to plead guilty today.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

"Could it be that Zheng Aiqing came here for the prince? Don't worry, I have sent an imperial doctor to treat the prince. The prince is not sensible. The matter of the roster is also related to him. I am really disappointed in the prince."

After hearing this, Mr. Zheng was even more confused. Why did the emperor tell him this?Didn't the emperor even read the roster?This is not impossible. Didn't the crown prince say that the roster has been destroyed? Maybe the emperor didn't have time to read the contents of the roster. As for why the emperor said he had already read it, it was just to deter everyone.

"Zheng Aiqing must be very curious, why did I tell you this, Zheng Aiqing, you are the first to come to me, which shows that you really care about the court. Over the years, you have worked hard, and I have seen it all , so I’m telling you, it’s not shameful, after all, after the crown prince succeeds, you still have to assist the crown prince.”

"Your Majesty, I'm so stupid that I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important task."

"If you veterans don't take on this great responsibility, who else can I trust? It's a pity that I haven't been able to see that roster."

"Your majesty, didn't you say that you have seen it."

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "The roster was destroyed by Prince Mu himself. He just didn't want to embarrass me. I was still in a coma at the time, so I didn't even have time to read the contents of the roster."

"So that's the case. The emperor is right to say that he has read it, at least it can deter those on the roster."

There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he asked lightly, "Oh, by the way, what is the reason for Zheng Aiqing's visit this time?"

Mr. Zheng frowned and thought. Now he doesn't know whether he should tell the truth to the emperor, or how the emperor will deal with him after he knows the truth. Mr. Zheng is caught in a dilemma, but he knows that he has to make a choice and tell the emperor To tell the truth, he still follows the prince against his will. Now he only has these two paths.

"Zheng Aiqing, what's the matter?" The emperor said with a smile: "No matter what it is, Zheng Aiqing should get up and talk first."

Mr. Zheng took a deep breath and shook his head firmly: "Your Majesty, I dare not get up if I am a guilty person."

The emperor smiled in surprise, this time, his smile was obviously much gentler than before: "Why did Zheng Aiqing say that?"

"Your Majesty, you haven't read the roster, so you don't know that the first name on the roster belongs to the guilty minister."

"What!" The emperor pretended to be surprised: "Zheng Aiqing is also a bought official? Are you sure?"

"Your Majesty, how can the guilty minister talk nonsense about matters related to the future of the guilty minister? It is true that the guilty minister did not get the official position by relying on his strength. That's why I bribed Master Chen at that time, and asked Master Chen to help me establish a relationship, so that the guilty minister had this opportunity."

Mr. Zheng still spoke out. He has been entangled in this matter all these years, and now that he has spoken out, he feels relieved.
