When all the officials heard this, they were dumbfounded.
But there is no way to refute it.
They risked their lives to fight for Lu Qingbai's position, but were betrayed by Lu Qingbai.
He is naughty.
Where does this make sense?
Therefore, the faces of all the officials became uglier than the last, as if someone had forced them to take a bite of shit.
The prince did not expect this outcome, so he looked at Qin Sining and said, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency in Government Affairs, I will allow you to pass the examination and be promoted to Prime Minister, with the first rank!"
"Do the officials have any objections?"
No one responded, and Li Lin and others hurriedly replied: "Your Highness is wise, and the Prime Minister is kind and wise. He will definitely become a wise prime minister!"
The eunuch beside the prince saw this and reminded him, "Prime Minister, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Qin Sining was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt on the ground and thanked him, "Sining's talents are not enough, please take back your life."
The prince smiled and said: "Since it is your destiny, how can you take it back? You must work hard for the court in the future!"
Qin Sining no longer shied away and thanked: "I dare not disgrace my order!"
"Okay!" The prince nodded, and then looked at Lu Qingbai on the ground, "Lu Qingbai, if you can take the initiative to plead guilty, you can also be exempted from some responsibilities. As the prince, I promise you that no matter what you commit,
No matter what the crime, you are not allowed to be punished during the trial!"
When Lu Qingbai heard this, he kowtowed, "How can I be so virtuous as to make His Highness prefer you? I will never give up even if I die!"
The prince said calmly: "You don't need to thank me. After the results of the interrogation come out, if you really commit a serious crime, I will not be lenient."
"Retreat!"
After the prince finished speaking, he stood up and left in a good mood.
She has completed the first step of a great undertaking.
In any case, she pulled out the tooth from the tiger's mouth and initially took control of the court situation.
Zhao Xiaole knows very well that it is too early to say that the situation is under control now.
So after the disbandment of the dynasty, he directly told the Minister of Punishment, "Send Lu Qingbai to Xichang without delaying for a moment."
The Minister of Punishment was immediately stunned. Before he could flatter Zhao Xiaole, he wanted to know how Zhao Xiaole obtained the evidence of Lu Qingbai's crime.
How did he force him to write a confession?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaole opened his mouth and issued a new order.
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment asked in confusion: "Master Hou, the prince has clearly ordered that the person be sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and he cannot be sentenced to death. What if Xichang uses torture on him?"
Also, what is the relationship between Xichang and Mr. Hou?
Do you deal with each other often, or what?
Looks very close!
Zhao Xiaole ignored his wild thoughts and ordered: "Now it's not a question of whether to use punishment or not. If Lu Qingbai dies in the punishment department, the prince will not be able to escape even if he jumps into the Yellow River. Only Xichang can save his life now!"
"
Hearing this, the Minister of Punishment suddenly realized, "I understand, I will send the person over right now, but will Xichang accept it?"
Zhao Xiaole nodded, his eyes flickering and said: "Don't worry, it will happen."
Once Lu Qingbai is imprisoned, it will not be a matter of prison at all.
For the things he committed, it would be no problem even if he was exempted from the guilt. The problem now is that he must not die.
Once Lu Qingbai dies, King Pingxi will definitely rebel.
If King Pingxi rebels at this time, the Yue people will inevitably go south, and Jingyang will be in chaos.
Therefore, this is already an issue that affects the world structure.
But Zhao Xiaole had no choice. If he didn't win Lu Qingbai's position today, the imperial court would become the empress who had the final say.
…
In the bedroom.
The Queen was silent for a long time.
Bai Lian immediately sent a letter to notify her.
Unfortunately, it was still too late.
The time from Bai Lian leaving Zhao Xiaole to delivering the message to her and then going to court at midnight was not enough time for her to operate.
Even if something can be done, what can be done?
Forget it, it's just a phase.
But how could she be willing to do so?
With a sharp shout, the Queen smashed the crested handrail at her hand.
The situation in the DPRK has become out of control, all because of one person.
This person is Zhao Xiaole!
"Your Majesty, if King Pingxi goes to jail because of Lu Qingbai, what will happen if he rebels?" the old woman beside him asked.
The queen said coldly: "King Pingxi is an old fox. He can only yell, but he will not really rebel. Let people force him. If the time comes and he doesn't rebel, we will push him!"
"If that happens, Jingyang will be in chaos." The old woman frowned and said.
The queen sneered, "Huh, King Pingxi is a dog of the Holy Cult. He will bite when I ask him to bite. If I ask him to be quiet, he will be quiet. If he is disobedient, then someone else will be King Pingxi.
Bar!"
"yes!"
After hearing this, the old woman no longer had any objections.
In addition to being able to temporarily control King Pingxi with the soul-stirring technique, the Demon Sect cannot possibly do everything on his behalf.
However, it is still very easy to just kill King Pingxi.
…
The third prince's residence.
The wine pool has been drained.
Because now the third prince will feel dizzy when he smells the smell of alcohol.
To use a modern term, he is allergic to alcohol.
But his anger never goes away.
At this moment, he had been sullen and silent for a long time.
Wang Yuan and others who were kneeling below were so frightened that they did not dare to say anything, and their knees on the ground hurt.
No matter how worn out his knees were and his body was shaking, he didn't dare to get up.
In front of the third prince, there was nothing for him to throw down, and his mood became a little calmer.
"Let me ask you, has Lu Qingbai surrendered to the prince?"
"This... I don't think so," Wang Yuan muttered. Seeing that the third prince was about to get angry again, he immediately changed his words, "In my opinion, if I hadn't taken refuge with the prince, I wouldn't have been able to voluntarily give up the position."
"It's impossible for the prince not to deal with him."
After Wang Yuan finished speaking, he secretly wiped his sweat when he saw that the third prince didn't throw anything.
Now he finally understood that as long as he followed the third prince's wishes, everything would be basically correct.
Don't always go against the above.
You and he always disagree, so aren't you actively looking for trouble?
The third prince nodded gloomily, "Okay, then kill this person for me. I will not allow this person to live another day!"
This request made the person below look bitter.
Lu Qingbai didn't know how many secrets he held about them. If he took refuge with the prince, they would capsize sooner or later.
It was tantamount to putting his life and death in the hands of the prince.
Is that official not afraid?
Therefore, Lu Qingbai must die.
But how to kill?
This is a problem.
Wang Yuan said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, this is the reason, but I really don't know how to kill him!"
"Idiot, do you have to kill someone yourself?" the third prince said coldly, "Since the prince wants to convict him, let's help him! Send all the illegal things Lu Qingbai did after entering the capital!
