Chapter 47: Abolition of the top three and establishment of champion 3
"Yes...that's it!" Mr. Wu replied tremblingly
The other three adults in the court had a bad premonition, and they couldn't stop sweating all over their bodies.
When Nangong Chifei saw Wu Zonglin's retort, the coldness in his eyes deepened: "Master Wu, please tell all the ministers in the hall whose house was stolen and who saw it. It was a student who committed the crime. Immediately declare the owner of the property."
How about we go to the palace and confront him face to face?"
When Wu Zonglin heard this, he was so frightened that his feet weakened. How could he know that Nangong Chifei would investigate this matter? This matter was simply made up out of thin air. Now let him go there to find someone to confront him.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! I was wrong. I was ordered by others. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!" Mr. Wu begged for mercy again and again.
"Your Majesty, those who harm students like Mr. Wu and cause them to fail the imperial examination deserve to die. They should be taken out and beheaded immediately."
The prime minister heard that Wu Zonglin was about to recruit him, so he quickly continued what he said. He could not let Wu Zonglin recruit him. He would rather let Wu Zonglin take the blame than expose them, because all the rights of Nangong Kingdom
Almost everything is in the hands of Nangong Yuyi and Nangong Brownqi. Even if he, the prime minister, is deposed, it will not cause any major losses to Nangong Kingdom. At this time, he can only find a way to hold on to his own life and save everything.
I put it on Wu Zonglin.
"Yes! Yes!" The other two adults also agreed.
When Wu Zonglin heard that these three people were blaming him for all the crimes, he was heartbroken. He would not let them have an easy time anyway, since they would all die anyway.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Zongren Mansion put pressure on Wei Chen and asked him to arrest all the talented students, so that their sons could be admitted to the top of the imperial examination. Please give your Majesty a clear warning, Wei Chen said
"Every word is true"
When the other three heard Wu Zonglin's words, they all stood up from the team and knelt on the ground, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty, you are wronged! Mr. Wu wronged us. He saw our son passing the exam and came to frame Wei."
Minister, please ask the emperor to make the decision for me."
"Please ask your Majesty to make the decision for your ministers"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me." The other two ministers also cried out for injustice.
Seeing how ruthless the three ministers were, Wu Zonglin decided to expose their masks.
"Your Majesty, the sons of the three ministers have been pampered since childhood and have no literary talent at all. If the emperor does not believe in Wei Chen, the sons of the three ministers are also in the palace today. The emperor can personally test the sons of the three ministers. Yes
You can tell whether a deer is a horse after just one try.”
"you……"
"you……"
"you……"
The three of them all pointed at Wu Zonglin angrily, but Wu Zonglin turned his head away and arrogantly ignored the three people who were adding insult to injury.
"Master Wu's words are not unreasonable, and I don't want to wrong everyone, so I'd better give it a try!"
Now that the emperor has spoken, the three ministers had no choice but to agree.
"Then I will come up with a question. If three 'talented men' become high officials, how should they manage the people?" Nangong Chifei deliberately came up with a question similar to the scientific examination question, so that he could expose this group of people.
The person who supports him with his salary behind his back
When the three ministers heard this question, their legs weakened and they felt a little unable to stand. They knew that Nangong Chifei did it on purpose, but in the current situation, they could only hope that their sons could answer better.
