"But now that there are so many people in the capital, it is definitely not enough to distribute this to each family!"
The emperor looked at him with some anger in his eyes and said, "Are you stupid? You just need to put these in the water that the people drink. Do you still need me to teach you these things?"
The lord was so frightened that he quickly retreated. When the emperor arrived at the Criminal Department, Zhang Zheng came out and asked, "Those people who were arrested yesterday?"
"He's locked up in a prison!"
"Bring them out!"
There was an adult and a cell leader, the emperor was sitting on top, and Zhang Zheng was sitting next to him. The two guys almost fainted when they saw the emperor sitting in front of them. The emperor walked down and looked at them and said: "I am also
Now I can see clearly the true face of you dog officials, you are just trying to exploit the common people. If you hadn’t arrested me at that time, then the person you arrested would probably be dead by now.”
The prison head said: "The emperor is Wang Fu. Mr. Wang asked us to do this mainly to deal with the superiors. That's why he asked us to arrest people. He really didn't expect to arrest the emperor!"
Seeing his legs trembling continuously, the emperor chuckled and said: "I didn't expect to catch me. If I catch someone else, today's incident will be considered as smooth, right?"
"Don't dare!"
"Don't you dare? I don't think you have anything to dare to do!"
At this time, Wang Fu suddenly said: "This matter really has nothing to do with him. I asked him to do it."
"You?" The emperor looked at Wang Fu and said, "Do you really think that the matter is over if you take this next step?"
Wang Fu suddenly stood up and said: "Lu Zheng, I tell you that you are not the emperor if you haven't ascended the throne yet. Don't put on airs with me!"
Suddenly, someone hit him on the leg with a stick. Lu Zheng said calmly: "Even if I am not the emperor, as a wise king, I can still judge you!"
"Huh, you? It's not certain whether you can become the emperor yourself. You are not the emperor's biological son at all!"
Lu Zheng looked at him and said: "Even if I can't be the emperor, I will kill you today!" After that, he looked at the people around him and said: "Pull him down and you will be executed by Lingchi!"
At this time, the Minister of Rites rushed in and said: "No, Your Majesty, it is really unlucky to kill someone now that the day of your accession to the throne is approaching."
Lu Zheng looked at Wu Chi, the Minister of Rites, and there was some uncertainty in Wu Shangshu's eyes. He used to be the prince's subordinates and now they are replaced by the Xian Wang. He was really worried that the Xian Wang would attack them, but he had to do this for the sake of the people above him.
Otherwise he will definitely die.
Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Now that Wu Shangshu is here, tell me how should I handle this matter?"
"When the new emperor ascends the throne, he must offer amnesty to the whole world. The things he has committed are not big at all. After all, there are no consequences..."
"But it's not small at all." Zhang Zheng said: "Master Wu, I would like to ask you how you got into my criminal department, when I have ordered that no one is allowed to come in!"
Wu Chi said: "Mr. Zhang, you have such great official power. You must know that I am also an official of the imperial court. We are both equal, so I am here for you. Are you dissatisfied with anything?"
At this time, Zhang Zheng laughed and said: "Master Wu, if you come to my place, you can tell me, but if you come in when I am trying the case, I think you may have other motives!"
"Do I have other plans?" Wu Chi looked at Lu Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, I am all thinking about your ascension to the throne. Killing people now is disrespectful to the gods. As the emperor, you will be punished by heaven!"
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Master Wu, I know how to deal with this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."
Wu Chi quickly said: "Since the emperor has his own thoughts in his heart, I will leave first."
Just as he was about to go out, the emperor said: "Pull them both down and chop them all!"
Wu Chi was suddenly startled and turned around to see the cell leader shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. This matter really has nothing to do with me. It's all Mr. Wang who asked us to do this."
Seeing that the emperor remained silent, just when he was about to pull him out, the cell leader suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, I know more things!"
At this time Wu Chi walked in and tried to hold the emperor back, but Lu Zheng kicked him away and said to Wu Chi: "Wu Shangshu, you should know your identity now!"
Zhang Zheng shouted: "Bring him in!"
At this time, the prison head knelt on the ground and glanced at Wu Chi. It was obvious that the current Minister of Rites could no longer protect him. He said, "Her Highness the Crown Princess asked us to do this."
Zhang Zheng glanced at Lu Zheng, who frowned. He was about to ascend the throne, and now there was a nationwide amnesty. Originally, the princess should have died. He kindly saved her, but he didn't expect that she actually wanted to harm him.
Lu Zheng said: "Pull him down first."
Wu Chi's legs were trembling all the time and he looked at Lu Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, I was asked to come here by the Crown Princess. I know I was wrong. I deserve death for my crime."
Lu Zheng looked at Wu Chi and knelt down and said to him: "You are also a member of the Crown Princess, so how many of his people are there in the court now?"
"This minister is really..."
"You don't need to tell me, I don't want to know now. Zhang Zheng, come with me to the Crown Princess's place!"
Zhang Zheng nodded and watched the two of them walk out. Wu Chi collapsed on the ground. He was really a little confused because of the favor given by the prince before, so he couldn't refuse it now. It really ended up in a bad way for him.
The official position *** is about to disappear.
Lu Zheng was followed by more people to protect his safety at all times. He walked to the East Palace and looked inside, stopped and said to Zhang Zheng: "Master Zhang, how should this situation be handled according to Yanguo's laws?"
"This should be beheaded."
Lu Zheng nodded and gave him a look. Zhang Zheng said as if he understood something: "The enthronement ceremony is coming soon, and killing people now will probably..."
"I understand, let me handle this matter!" Zhang Zheng led the troops in. Lu Zheng sighed outside the door. Seeing the Crown Princess being pulled out, the Crown Princess said when she saw Lu Zheng standing beside her.
: "Lu Zheng, don't think that you are secure now that you are sitting on the throne. I tell you that sooner or later you will step down from that position, and by then you will definitely be even worse off than me!"
Seeing his disheveled appearance, Lu Zheng walked up to him like a crazy woman and said, "I don't want to kill you, but I also ask you to keep a low profile in the future, otherwise no one will be able to protect you!"
