The evidence is conclusive and his position as prime minister is destined to be lost. In this case, why bother to think of any excuses to save him?
He had already lost his sacred heart when he threatened His Majesty in the hall, and it was useless to plead for mercy. It would be better to be more magnanimous.
"Your Majesty, I have been studying hard for more than twenty years, and I was lucky enough to be chosen by the late emperor as the number one scholar. I thought that from then on I would skyrocket, and I would travel thousands of miles. I wanted to serve the country, but everything in the imperial court was intertwined. I am
Like duckweed, you can't help yourself, and you don't know when you lost your original intention."
The Prime Minister's vision was blurred, and he looked into the void in front of him, as if he saw himself when he first entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, looking at the majestic palace, with great pride and determination in his heart to establish a life for the people and create peace for all generations.
The emperor and officials were all silent.
At that time, most of the courtiers, clans, and families who had no background and relied on imperial examinations to become officials were just like the prime minister. They were full of ambition at first, but in the end they either lost their true intentions or were defeated behind the huge background.
The officials crowded out and eventually left the capital, and there were too few who could stay.
What the Prime Minister just said was not untouchable to the Emperor.
At that time, many poor families entered the court with yearning. These were the hopes of the future of the court. But at that time, the late emperor's condition became more and more serious. Although he was the prince, he was busy fighting with several princes who tried to unseat him.
These officials with no background were squeezed out and co-opted, and by the time everything was settled, the matter was completely finalized.
Once you get into the muddy water, it's not that easy to get clean.
The prime minister continued to speak, knelt down in the direction of the emperor, and kowtowed slowly: "I was born in a young age, and I was favored by the emperor and promoted again and again. I am extremely grateful in my heart, but my hands are already stained with dirt. No matter how I hide it, how can I hide it?
Wash."
"Wei Chen has the wealth and honor in the sky. These are all obtained by greed for so many years. Wei Chen has not used a single cent, and the proportions used have not exceeded his duty. Wei Chen said this not to ask the emperor to be lenient, but just to
Tell your majesty, the emperor's grace for promotion has never been forgotten by me."
After finishing speaking, the Prime Minister's eyes flashed sharply, he stood up suddenly and rushed towards the pillar in the courtyard.
The emperor was caught up in old things and didn't react at all. Seeing the prime minister hitting the pillar, he was breathing heavily.
Just when the prime minister was less than a foot away from the pillar, suddenly, a kick came out and kicked the prime minister directly in the chest.
The prime minister was kicked several feet away by the force and fell to the ground. He covered his chest and sat up. He was already controlled by the imperial guards.
Ye Juechen's eyes were locked on Ye Yibai.
The man's movement just now was as fast as an afterimage. If he hadn't happened to see it from where he was standing, he would have thought that Ye Yibai had been standing there from the beginning.
That kind of kung fu is surprisingly high.
Ye Juechen suddenly remembered what Ye Tianling swore to him a few days ago. He said that Ye Yibai was not stupid at all, he was just pretending.
Could it be that it is true?
Just when Ye Juechen was distracted, the prime minister had been escorted to the emperor again.
The emperor looked at him condescendingly: "Do you think that if you die, this matter will be forgotten?"
Hua Yanxi curled her lips and said: "The Prime Minister did not seek death for himself, but for someone else."
The Prime Minister's eyes turned slightly, and the hand that was pressing on his chest clenched unconsciously. He said without raising his head: "The guilty minister knows that his sin is serious, and he is willing to die to apologize."
