"It's just that you relied on your father's life-saving kindness to the late emperor back then. You are so reckless that even I dare to gather the earth dragon energy that I dispersed towards the founding emperor! You also dare to speak nonsense in the main hall.
?Today I want to let you know that this Wei is the Wei of the imperial family, my Wei, not the Wei of your Prince Zhan."
The emperor gave an order and all the crimes committed by King Zhan yesterday were nailed to death.
In fact, after being charged with the crime of embezzling ninety million taels of ink and secretly gathering the energy of earth dragons in an attempt to tamper with the foundation of the Wei Dynasty, King Zhan was already dead.
Now to add more charges, it is only necessary to arrest all the court officials involved.
Then, the emperor spoke again.
"The case of King Zhan's rebellion will be handled by Uncle Four. I want to know all the results within ten days!"
"Yes, I obey the order!"
With just one treason, all avenues of survival for King Zhan were blocked.
Now it's just a matter of adding more sins to more sins and seeing what happens in the end.
Thinking of this, King Zhan didn't even have the strength to cry.
When he raised his head and looked at the emperor, he suddenly felt more cunning.
"You can't kill me!"
"What a joke, there are people in this Wei Dynasty that I can't kill?"
"Yes! My father was seriously injured when he saved the late emperor. The late emperor also promised personally that if our Prince Zhan's palace commits any serious crime in the future, we can spare the lives of one of our children and one of our grandchildren!"
He turned to look at Prime Minister Lin and said with hope in his eyes.
"Prime Minister Lin and Bachelor of Lan University have all witnessed it here, right, right!"
The emperor had never heard of this incident, and the whole family of Lan University scholars had long been wiped out.
If Prime Minister Lin answers yes at this moment, he can save two lives of Prince Zhan.
But if you don't answer yes, I'm afraid it will be a different story.
Therefore, everyone is staring closely at Prime Minister Lin.
Let's see if he speaks for his wife and family, or if he stands for the emperor.
Prime Minister Lin knew that he could not escape, so he stood up.
He bowed and clasped his fists and said.
"Back to the emperor, what I said is indeed true. I dare to bet the fortune and life of the Lin family to ensure that the late emperor said this."
Prime Minister Lin's words immediately made King Zhan burst into laughter.
Princess Zhan next to her was eager to stab these two people to death with her sword.
With such a conspiracy, is God really so unfair?
The emperor's face also darkened a lot.
If it were the late emperor, he wouldn't be able to take it into consideration.
But when I thought that for such a serious crime, I could spare two lives of Prince Zhan, I felt it was really not worth it.
Just when I was thinking about how to deal with it, I heard Prime Minister Lin speak again.
"Your Majesty, there are some things that have been weighing on my heart for many years. At first, I did it for the sake of the family's descendants, so I didn't speak out. But now, if I continue to hide the secret forever for my own selfish purposes, I'm afraid that even to the end of the world, I will not be able to tell you.
The late Emperor has given an explanation, so I won’t be upset if I don’t vomit.”
Things turn around?
As soon as Prime Minister Lin said these words, the emperor looked at him again.
"What's up?"
"Prince Lao Zhan did it deliberately to save the late emperor, in order to gain the trust of the late emperor and gain the honor of Prince Zhan's palace!"
As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers present were shocked.
It is said that when the late emperor went hunting, he encountered a crazy wolf.
He had already bitten the horse while chasing him, and he also threw the late emperor off his horse. Just as he was about to bite his neck, King Lao Zhan appeared.
He directly put his arm under the wolf's mouth.
Then a knife penetrated the mad wolf's heart from under his ribs.
That's how it died.
The wolf head bit Old Zhan King's arm and almost didn't pull it off.
It was not until the imperial doctor and the accompanying imperial guards arrived that they worked together to remove the Crazy Wolf's teeth from King Lao Zhan's arm.
Since then, King Lao Zhan has basically lost his right arm. Whenever it is cloudy and rainy, his whole body will feel hot and his bones will hurt.
All this was caused by saving the late emperor.
Therefore, the late emperor made this promise.
It can be regarded as repaying the kindness of King Lao Zhan.
Now it is said that this is a long-planned preparation. No one can be angry after hearing this!
"Does Prime Minister Lin take responsibility for his words? Is this serious?"
"Of course I take it seriously! I dare to guarantee the lives of the entire clan! Doesn't King Zhan also know about this?"
When it was mentioned suddenly, Prince Zhan stuttered.
I don't know if it was the emperor's eyes that were too captivating, or Prime Minister Lin's words that were too sincere.
Therefore, he actually forgot how to retort.
Such an attitude in front of everyone is no different from admitting it.
Then, without waiting for King Zhan to explain, Prime Minister Lin continued.
"When I learned about this, it was many years after the death of the old King Zhan. One day, the old minister happened to return home and met King Zhan to see Princess Rongkang. Although the two people spoke in a low voice, the old minister's ears were not bad. I know.
I was extremely shocked at the time, but at that time I had children and grandchildren, so even if I didn’t care about their lives, I couldn’t care less about the lives of the entire Lin family.”
"So, since then, I have asked the emperor to send me out for many years. The reason is that I don't want to get involved with these siblings anymore!"
When Prime Minister Lin mentioned it, the emperor seemed to have remembered it.
It is true that at that time, Prime Minister Lin had only a few years to gain a foothold in the court, and he sought help from him.
Originally, the prime minister should provide more assistance in the court, but he only sought foreign appointments.
At first the emperor thought it was Prime Minister Lin who retreated bravely.
I know that after I take charge, I will definitely have conflicts with the old officials.
So I deliberately avoided it.
I didn't expect that there would be such a situation here.
"Not only that, after Princess Rongkang broke off the engagement, she originally had a bright future and could remarry a high-ranking family. However, she accidentally encountered an old minister bringing his wife and children to Beijing on the road, so he forced his sick wife to death, and then she became the old minister's wife.
Stepwife!"
"In the past few decades, as long as I treat my wife and eldest son a little better, Princess Rongkang will take action behind the scenes to save my son's life, so for decades, I can only pretend to be indifferent, along with my grandchildren.
They have also suffered a lot."
"Fortunately, I found an excuse before and finally let the big house move out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now my life is going smoothly."
Then he looked at Lin Xingzhi, who was standing next to the emperor, and the "love" in his eyes was really strong.
Unfortunately, Lin Xingzhi remained unmoved.
"In the past, I was afraid of the power of Prince Zhan and cared about my family members, so I failed to disclose these secrets to the public. It was selfish of me. Therefore, today I am willing to resign from the position of Prime Minister and return to the countryside to become a teacher.
, please allow your Majesty to grant it!"
I have to say that Prime Minister Lin bowed down to me.
All the courtiers also fell silent.
Prime Minister Lin has been in the court for decades and has always been a smooth man.
