Chen Ke's self-deprecating words echoed in the hall, but many ministers did not believe it.
Who doesn’t want the method of immortality?
Even the emperor wants to live forever, but you, a minister, say you don’t want to live forever?
However, some ministers felt that what Chen Ke said was very reasonable and that what they were pursuing in this life was only glory and wealth.
If you haven't even pursued wealth, why should you pursue immortality?
Ying Zheng sat in front and looked at Chen Ke calmly.
He is making a judgment.
Is what Chen Ke said true or false?
In fact, no one knows, just like no one knows what Ying Zheng is thinking at this time...
Does Ying Zheng want to live forever?
The answer is yes.
But at this time, Ying Zheng believed that Chen Ke did not have the so-called method of immortality.
This is a gut feeling.
Big figures tend to trust their own instincts, especially Ying Zheng, the emperor of the ages.
Li Si, who was standing below, saw the look on Ying Zheng's face and immediately understood.
He immediately grasped the key point of Chen Ke's previous words and turned to look at Wang Lian.
"Wang Lian, you just admitted it."
"Did you instigate this person?"
Li Si's cheeks were sarcastic and cold: "Then, how can you prove it."
"What this person said about Chen Ke is not false? Wasn't it instigated by you?"
Seeing such a situation, Wang Lian had a bit of confusion on his face.
How could things develop to this point?
This is simply incredible...
Shouldn't the emperor trust his own words?
Even if he didn't believe his own statement, didn't the emperor have a little doubt in his heart?
Is the attraction of the method of immortality to the emperor already so small?
And this wasn't what frightened Wang Lian the most. What frightened him the most was another person.
Meng Tian also stood up.
At this time, Meng Tian's body was filled with murderous aura, as if he had stepped out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
His voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Your Majesty, Wang Yushi is now slandering Chen Shaofu. If it succeeds this time, wouldn't he want to frame someone in the future? All he has to do is open his mouth?"
Meng Tian raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng: "I beg your Majesty to punish Wang Lian severely!"
At this time, following Meng Tian's words, the other ministers who were watching the excitement also reacted.
If we let this Wanglian run away today, what should we do if we frame them falsely in the future?
Who can guarantee that there will be no nasties between himself and Wang Lian Jedi?
Suddenly, everyone in the entire hall began to echo Meng Tian's words.
"I second the proposal!"
"I beg your Majesty to punish Wang Lian severely!"
"Wang Yushi's behavior is inappropriate and unworthy of being an official. I beg your Majesty to punish him severely!"
In an instant, the scene changed.
The one who became the target of public criticism, the one who was criticized and targeted by everyone, became Wang Lian.
Wang Lian stood there, speechless and unable to argue.
He subconsciously looked at the high platform, but what he was looking at was not Ying Zheng.
After just one glance, he withdrew his gaze.
Ying Zheng, who was standing next to him, immediately noticed Wang Lian's gaze.
He looked at the person standing at the front, even serving Ying Zheng honestly, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Good guy.
Being a Confucian is not enough, but this guy is also involved?
Why did this person suddenly attack him?
Chen Ke didn't understand, but didn't say anything.
After briefly looking into each other's eyes, Zhao Gao withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and looked sincere.
Ying Zheng finally spoke, his voice still calm and without any change.
"What Meng Tian said makes sense."
"In this case, Heibingtai will be ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of Wang Lian."
He looked at Wang Lian with an indifferent expression: "If there is nothing else, I will order Wang Lian to take off his official robe."
"You are not allowed to study or be an official within three generations."
Ying Zheng issued the order without hesitation, without caring whether the order was too heavy.
Within three generations, they are not allowed to study or serve as officials.
This basically cuts off the Wang Lian family's chance of making a comeback!
That's three generations!
After a hundred years, how could the Wang Lian family still have a chance to turn around?
But at this time, Ying Zheng didn't give Wang Lian a chance and just waved his hand.
The Iron Eagle Guards men came up and pulled Wang Lian down...
The entire court was silent, and no one asked for mercy.
Kong Xian closed his eyes and stood there calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Yan Kong just looked down at the ground.
The Duanmu family, Zeng family, and other people standing nearby kept their mouths shut silently.
The only way to open your mouth at this time is to seek death.
They don't want to die just yet, nor do they want their future to be ruined.
Although they found Wang Lian and promised benefits, now that something has happened, those things can be voided.
Chess pieces that have no use value will only end up being thrown into the abyss.
Ying Zheng stood up, looked around at everyone, and summed up the matter.
"There is no need to mention this matter again."
"Chen Ke is my great hero of the Qin Dynasty, and he is also my confidant."
"I believe that Chen Ke would not do such a thing."
The ministers responded immediately.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming——"
............
Down towards the back
Kong Xian walked in the palace and headed towards the Doctor's Palace.
Beside him, Yan Kong walked slowly and leisurely.
After an unknown amount of time, Kong Xiancai suddenly said, "How could this happen?"
"Dr. Yan, do you think there are really people who can resist the temptation of the method of immortality?"
Yan Kong just smiled slightly: "The method of immortality is good, but not everyone is pursuing immortality."
"Like Mr. Chen, didn't he say it himself?"
"He prefers wealth in the world to immortality."
Kong Xian smiled slightly: "That's true."
"Although Chen Shaofu's words are empty, fortunately His Majesty is generous and chooses to believe Chen Shaofu,"
"Otherwise, Chen Shaofu's affairs today will probably be very bad."
Yan Kong yawned and said, "What Dr. Kong said is wrong."
"Your Majesty is so wise, he can naturally see that this is a trap set up by someone for Chen Shaofu, and naturally he will not doubt Chen Shaofu."
"I heard that the young master came to the palace yesterday to pay an audience."
"When I arrived, I was riding in His Majesty's chariot. It was very majestic."
Kong Xian didn't say much, just laughed, and then returned to his palace.
"What you said is quite good."
"Now Mr. Chen has won the trust of His Majesty. I just hope that he will not betray this trust."
Kong Xian said this with a deep and meaningful tone.
...........
Zhangtai Palace
apse
Chen Ke sat there with his head lowered.
There was a tired look on his face, not at all as calm as before.
Ying Zheng was sitting in front of him, his whole attitude was very relaxed, like a gathering of old friends.
Ying Zheng yawned, looked at Chen Ke and said, "Chen Ke, do you really have no way to live forever?"
