Liu Rufeng's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. Wu Boren slowly stood up, looked at Liu Rufeng with relief, and nodded heavily.
"well……"
Liu Rufeng let out a long sigh, as if he had lost all strength, and slumped down on the prince's chair, looking at the jade slip in his hand somewhat absentmindedly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Your Majesty’s civil and military ministers have never seen Liu Rufeng like this. Although he is not as good as the resolute and resolute eldest princess Liu Rushuang and the old emperor Liu Zhanxiong who is very happy and has extraordinary strength, at least he is still calm. But now he is so rude in front of the ministers.
, this can’t help but make many people wonder what Wu Boren said in the jade slip.
"Your Highness?"
"Go down...retreat from the court..."
"Retreat...to the court!"
Fang Qi tentatively asked Liu Rufeng, but Liu Rufeng tiredly waved his hand and asked the eunuch beside him to announce his resignation. Fang Qi suddenly became a little anxious.
"Your Highness, Wu Boren has just confessed his crime. He is obviously harboring selfish motives and suspected of liaising with foreign countries. Can such a prime minister still serve as an example for me, Wu Zhen?" Fang Qi stood up quickly, pointed at Wu Boren and smiled sinisterly.
"Oh? Then what should Duke Yining mean?" Wu Boren didn't say anything, but Liu Rufeng said lazily.
"It should be considered treason! It should be executed according to the law, and the nine tribes will be implicated!" Fang Qi immediately said categorically, as if he was the most upright and loyal minister in the court, speaking outrightly.
"Are you really going to kill the nine tribes?" Liu Rufeng suddenly looked at Fang Qi lazily and said.
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, must enforce the law impartially for such rebellious people and restore peace to Wuzhen!"
As he said that, Fang Qi knelt down excitedly and kowtowed heavily. Upon seeing this, his accomplices who were following Fang Qin knew that this was a great opportunity to get rid of the prime minister's lineage, so they immediately followed Fang Qi,
Kneel down.
"I second the proposal! Please prove that your highness is a model! Give me justice to Wu Zhen!"
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal! Please kill the nine sinners Wu Boren!"
"I second the proposal!"
"..."
For a moment, more than a third of the courtiers knelt down after Fang stood up. Some people from Wu Boren's lineage even knelt down immediately after seeing Wu Boren admitting his connection with the Xie family, for fear of being implicated too late.
"If this is really the case, I will certainly not tolerate it, but...you keep saying that Prime Minister Wu is treason, do you just rely on this sentence? But why does it sound like Prime Minister Wu is a loyal and brave man in Chicheng, a man who is always grateful?
Liu Rufeng changed the subject and said unhurriedly.
"this……"
"hiss……"
"oh……"
Liu Rufeng's words immediately caused a lot of discussion among His Highness' ministers. Fang Qi glanced at Liu Rufeng and Wu Boren quietly, and instantly felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart, wondering about the possibility that Wu Boren could still be alive today.
Upon seeing this, Li Mu, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, glanced at Liu Rufeng, then stood up understandingly, glanced at Wu Boren expressionlessly, then turned his attention to Fang Qi's group of people, and sneered in his heart.
"Hmph! The Prime Minister of the dynasty was actually being bullied by a Duke and could not speak. Duke Ning was really good. I think he was a famous general on the battlefield back then. How come he surrendered without fighting now?" Li Mu stood up.
, looked at Fang Qi sarcastically and said.
"What does Li Shangshu mean by this? Wu Boren has connections with foreign countries first. As Wu Zhenren, is it possible that he can't say a fair word? Besides, which of your eyes saw my proposal to surrender?" Fang Qi immediately straightened up and retorted.
.
"It is not yet known whether he has access to foreign countries. In the past forty years, Prime Minister Wu, as an ordinary person, has devoted himself to assisting His Majesty and His Royal Highness. This hard work alone is enough to prove his identity. What is wrong with forming an alliance with Tianwu? Ning Guo, on the other hand,
I’m afraid all of you in the court who are discerning can see what your intentions are behind this blatant persecution of His Highness today..."
"call……"
Li Mu's words with a gun and a stick made the group of people behind Fang Qi take a breath of cold air. Behind Li Mu was the prince Liu Rufeng. Liu Rufeng's words before the union, Fang Qi couldn't help but think that Wu Boren might have formed an alliance with Liu Rufeng.
"Now that Xie Bocheng's descendants have entered our territory of Wuzhen, doesn't Prime Minister Wu have some selfish motives for being so far away from the near?" Fang Qi was not distracted by Li Mu's words. With a gentle word, he immediately turned the blame back to Wu Boren.
"Hmph! You are deceiving the public with your lies. What evidence do you have? Without evidence, we are willing to believe in the character of Prime Minister Wu. The Wu clan has rebelled against the country with five clans! If Ning Guogong is said to have rebelled against the country, we are still willing to believe some...
"Li Mu said with a sneer.
"Haha, evidence? Since you are willing to believe Wu Boren's villainous face, I will follow your wishes! Your Highness, I have a confession, which is that the night before yesterday, Prime Minister Wu Boren secretly met with Tianwu envoy Sun Yu.
Then Sun Yu sent a great gift, and what he planned was to cooperate with Tianwu Liyingwai, first get rid of me Wuzhen, and then plot the great plan of Wei and Liang! His subordinates heard this and were not resentful of this man's wolf ambition, so they came to give me a confession
And the Jade Slip of Memory, please judge it by Your Highness!"
With that said, Fang Qi took out a jade slip from his arms, and a young man who looked like a steward appeared in the main hall. The minister behind Wu Boren tensed up when he saw this. That man was the steward of the prime minister's house.
, Apart from Wu Boren, this young man has the most power in the Prime Minister's Office.
Except for the steward of the Prime Minister's Office, no one in the entire Jiangwu Palace dared to make any move. Even Wu Boren, who was at the center of the storm, had a low eyebrow and no objection. What the figure said was no different from Fang Qi's. There is no doubt that
This confirmed Wu Boren's treason charges.
"This is the image of your conspiracy with Sun Yu the night before. Prime Minister Wu, what else do you have to say now? Do you still want to protect this traitor?"
"hehe……"
As soon as the steward finished speaking, Shi Shiran stood up, holding the jade slip in one hand and the confession in the other. He glanced at the ministers with cold eyes, and sneered in his heart, saying in his heart: I don't believe Wu Boren can still do it now.
Get away whole body.
The sudden evidence and witnesses shocked everyone. Except for Liu Rufeng, who kept scanning his highnesses with squinted eyes, Wu Boren was left in the center of the whirlpool of the struggle but took it calmly.
But Fang Qi could not help but feel happy when he imagined that in the future, the forces in the court would be able to compete with Liu Rufeng, and even be able to faintly overwhelm Liu Rufeng, and finally allow his son-in-law Liu Qi to sit on the supreme throne of Wu Zhen, but on the surface
It still couldn't be too obvious, so Fang Qi had to endure it very hard at this moment.
After seemingly recognizing everyone's movements, Liu Rufeng looked at Wu Boren, who had a calm expression on his face. The two of them looked at each other, smiled, and nodded to each other.
"Haha, it seems that the prime minister talked too much with Sun Yu of Tianwu behind my back last night before I arrived?" Liu Rufeng looked at Wu Boren with a smile and said.
"Your Highness, forgive me! The old minister just exchanged a few pleasantries, just to wait for His Highness to come. This is completely inconsistent with the content of the evidence given by Mr. Ning Guo! Please also ask Your Highness to clear the grievances of the old minister!"
"Yes, yes, it was my intention to form an alliance with Tianwu, and Prime Minister Cai Ming contacted Sun Yu. If Ning Guogong hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten..."
"Your Highness is simply wise, so I didn't suffer unjust injustice..."
Before Liu Rufeng finished speaking, Wu Boren knelt down directly. The two of them exchanged words, directly overturning everything Fang Qi had said before. This changing situation made the officials dumbfounded.
"Your Highness..."
His face suddenly changed, and he felt danger in his heart. The news he had received before did not say that Liu Rufeng would be present. In this way, the evidence in his hand to prove Wu Boren's treason instantly became irrefutable evidence to slander the prime minister of the dynasty. Looking back
When Liu Qi told him to be careful, Fang Qi's inner complacency suddenly turned extremely cold.
"That's right, the prime minister...how could he not even discover the spies around him...treason? Can the prince also commit treason? This is a really clever trick..."
Fang Qi felt a wry smile in his heart, recalling Wu Boren's calm look just now, and suddenly understood in his heart that Wu Boren had already formed an alliance with Liu Rufeng, and the purpose of today's court meeting was to wait for him to break out.
Fang Qi, who wanted to understand, suddenly felt weak. He staggered and almost lost his balance. He quickly stabilized his body. He accidentally turned his head and saw that the supporters who were standing behind him had begun to turn sideways intentionally or unintentionally.
As if to avoid Fang Qi.
"hehe……"
"Now that the matter is clear... Does Ning Guogong have any objections to the national policy of Liantian Wu?"
Fang Qi sneered, and Liu Rufeng's soul-stirring voice rang in his ears. Fang Qi looked back, thinking about how to answer this sentence, while Wu Boren stood up directly.
"Your Highness, at this critical juncture, our military really needs to work together from top to bottom. Now that the matter has become clear, I would like to ask Your Highness not to blame Ning Guo Gong. Ning Guo Gong is also very patriotic... In addition, what Ning Guo Gong said before is not completely false. This time
The old minister is willing to resign from the alliance with Tianwu!" Wu Boren said without any blame, as if he was not the one who was being aggressive before.
"Well... the Prime Minister's move is indeed a matter of great justice. However, the appointment and dismissal of the Prime Minister is not the decision of this palace. Since Prime Minister Wu has proven his innocence, he can rest in his residence during this period. In addition, Ning Guo will be the leader of the court at that time.
When word spread about the Duke's persecution, people thought the imperial court was cold. I believe that all the people in the world would not want to see it done. It was not enough for the people to be angry... Ning Guogong! Now that we have formed an alliance, I will send you as an envoy to Tianwu.
Make a covenant!”
Liu Rufeng's words made Fang Qi stunned on the spot. Fang Qi originally thought that Wu Boren said what he originally wanted to say first in order to block his own escape route and confirm the serious crime of framing the prime minister. But he didn't expect that Liu Rufeng actually went along with it.
Walking down the steps, Fang Qi couldn't help but think a little more.
"What? Duke Ning Guo is unwilling? If not, I can send Li Mu as an imperial envoy to Tianwu." Liu Rufeng said calmly.
"Wei Chen... accept the order and thank you!"
Fang Qi was still hesitant at first, but when Liu Rufeng said those words, Fang Qi instantly understood that the matter could not be undone. If he did not accept it now, I am afraid that what happened today would be the butcher's knife of Liu Rufeng and Wu Boren who would kill him in the future.
"Okay! With the help of Ning Guogong and other capable ministers, the future will be smoother. In this case, Wu Zhen will rely on the princes in the future! Retreat from the court!"
After saying that, Liu Rufeng walked down the hall swiftly and swiftly. When Wu Boren saw this, he nodded towards Fang Qidian and left behind Liu Rufeng.
"Hmph... I didn't expect this kid's city to grow to this point..."
After all the courtiers had left, Fang Qi snorted with annoyance on his face, thought about it for a while, and made up his mind to go to Medicine City.
