Ye Juechen put his hands behind his back and glanced at the men and women standing far away: "Who are they?"
Hua Yanxi answered: "Some vendors will give big gifts to the Prime Minister's Mansion during the holidays, but the Prime Minister said that he doesn't know these people, and it's just the people below who make their own decisions."
The tone should be as meaningful as possible.
He almost pointed at the Prime Minister's nose and said that these businessmen were here to pay bribes, but the Prime Minister was too shameless to admit it.
Since these people are all trying to please the Prime Minister, it is normal that they will not come forward to testify.
Everyone knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, especially when the secrets of the palace are revealed, and it is not uncommon for people to die, not to mention bringing disaster to their families, so it is not surprising to protect yourself wisely.
"This really doesn't prove that it was the eldest son who said this and not you who made it up." Ye Juechen frowned and said.
Lu Yong, who had been kneeling on the ground and his legs were numb but did not dare to move, suddenly became frightened when he heard this.
"That's right, you two made it up. I, the Prime Minister's Office, have no enmity with you. I didn't expect that you would dare to tell such lies and steal the imperial officials!"
After listening to his son's words, the prime minister also echoed: "That's right, fifth prince and concubine, even if we had different positions in the imperial study room yesterday, you should not use such an excuse to exclude dissidents."
Very few people know about this, and it is still an old thing many years ago, and it will never be discovered.
Hua Yanxi looked at the father and son with the same appearance, her expression unchanged, and just asked: "In this case, Mr. Lu does not admit that he said this?"
"I never said that it was you who framed me!" Lu Yong raised his neck and said, "I will definitely report this to the emperor and frame the imperial official and his family. Just wait!"
"So? Mr. Lu doesn't want to give up now? Are you trying to sue me?" Hua Yanxi followed his words.
Lu Yong really didn't expect this, but when he heard her mention it, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he started to worry about it.
His father is a high official in the court, and the fifth prince has no power. What can this woman rely on? Even if the trouble comes to the emperor, the emperor will definitely stand by them. When the time comes, this woman will be punished with a serious crime and she will be abandoned and exiled.
It's all possible.
So, Lu Yong said loudly: "Yes, I want to sue you!"
As he said that, in order to increase his momentum, he looked at the servant next to him: "Help me up!"
The Prime Minister's brows jumped after hearing Lu Yong's words, and his heart that had not yet been contained in his chest jumped into his throat again, but he could not be weak at this moment.
According to normal logic, this matter is really false, so he should have an explanation. Once he retreats, it will make people suspicious. Now he can only hope that this woman has some eyesight, sees the situation clearly, and takes the initiative to admit her mistake. Fortunately, he can follow the trend.
.
But unexpectedly, Hua Yanxi listened to Lu Yong's words and said: "In that case, the eldest son does not need to get up in a hurry, just continue to kneel."
As he said that, he reached out from his sleeve and took out the tried-and-true and flamboyant dragon-patterned jade pendant.
As soon as the dragon-patterned jade pendant came out, after everyone saw it clearly, they immediately shouted "Long live the emperor."
In the entire backyard, except for Hua Yanxi, who was holding a jade pendant, and Ye Yibai, who had never put the emperor in his eyes, they were all kneeling on the ground.
The prime minister straightened up after paying homage to the jade pendant, and looked at Hua Yanxi coldly: "Why is the holy dragon-patterned jade pendant in your hand?"
"The emperor ordered the fifth prince to supervise all the officials, and gave the jade pendant to me to investigate the corruption and perversion of the law by the court officials. Now, both my concubine and the fifth prince suspect that you have accepted bribes and are related to the rebellion of King Liang. From now on
, raided the Prime Minister’s Mansion and took a group of people away for investigation.”
