Li Wan didn't know why his majesty showed the book to him.
Looking at the book Liu Zhong handed over, Li Wan felt uneasy in her heart.
It's just that he can no longer think about other things at this moment.
well!
Li Wan sighed and took the fold, thinking that he hoped he was overthinking it.
However, it is still too early to worry.
He glanced ten lines to the right. The more he looked, the more frightened Li Wan became. The hand holding the book trembled slightly.
"Your Majesty!" Before he finished reading the last part, Li Wan's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly dropped the book and trembled on the ground.
He hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I, I am wronged!"
"Unjustly accused?" Chen Jue smiled and said in a slow tone: "Why, does Li Qing think the record in this book is false?"
"Reply--" Li Wan was just about to answer "Yes", but suddenly he thought that the records on the booklet were not all false, and he couldn't say anything.
No, it should be said that it is mostly true!
He didn't know how His Majesty knew those things, but Li Wan always looked at his eyes and knew that if he really answered "It's not true" at this moment, I'm afraid that he himself, the Prime Minister, would have done it all!
Maybe he will end up like Xie Xiang.
Of course, Prime Minister Xie deserved his death, and Li Wan was not sympathizing with Prime Minister Xie.
Li Wan lowered his head and remained silent.
The group of people behind saw this scene and listened to the words of His Majesty and the Right Minister, with expressions of confusion.
At the same time, I am also curious about what is written on the folding sheet?
His Majesty actually made it difficult for Li Wan!
Isn't Li Wan the right minister promoted by His Majesty? Why is Your Majesty still attacking Li Wan?
Sure enough, being the Prime Minister is not that easy!
Wang Si on the side was also confused. He quickly picked up the book and glanced at it, his face changed slightly.
"This, this, this -" This is impossible!
Brother Li knows that His Majesty has said that this imperial examination needs to be fair and impartial, and he has also said that he is on His Majesty's side. How could he help the children of aristocratic families cheat!
This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!
The grave crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan!
Someone must be framing Brother Li, Wang Si immediately thought of this.
Yes, that must be the case!
"Your Majesty, I report this document—Your Majesty, the contents of this document are true, and I am guilty!"
Wang Si suppressed the fear in his heart and was about to open his mouth to defend Brother Li when he heard Brother Li's confession. He suddenly turned around and stared at Brother Li in surprise, with "disbelief" written all over his face.
"Is Li Qing pleading guilty?" Chen Jue looked at Li Wan and asked.
"Yes, I plead guilty. I feel ashamed of my trust in your majesty. However, this was all done by me alone. Please let your majesty spare my family members!"
After saying that, Li Wan kowtowed again, then straightened up and took off his official hat and robe.
Everyone: "!!!" What happened!
Everyone: "Right Prime Minister!"
Wang Si: "Brother Li, no!"
Wang Si was so shocked that he hurriedly stopped Brother Li from taking off his official robe, "Brother Li, someone must be wrongly accusing you of this matter!"
"Your Majesty, the right prime minister has always been strict with himself. It is impossible for him to do such a thing. Your Majesty, please investigate carefully!"
Now that things have happened, Wang Si no longer thinks about whether this matter will implicate him. Someone must be wronging Brother Li in this matter.
"Unjustly accused?" Chen Jue glanced at Wang Si and said nothing. He only turned to glance at Liu Zhong and continued to rest his chin on the armrest of the dragon chair with his hand.
Then they heard Liu Zhong explain in detail what they had done in the first few days of the imperial examination, who they had met, and what they had said.
After hearing this, everyone looked up at His Majesty in fear. His Majesty actually knew their itinerary well!
If I say one or two, it is a fluke, but all the itineraries are known.
How is that done?
Zhi Jinwu?
Could it be Zhi Jinwu? !
Suddenly, many people thought of the words "Zhijinwu".
If it is Zhi Jinwu, he has this ability. After all, he was once part of the Imperial Order's secret guard organization.
Your Majesty wants to know something, and that won’t be easy!
Thinking of this, their expressions changed slightly while they re-examined Zhijinwu in their hearts.
Although Chen Jue said nothing, he kept his eyes on the group of people below.
Chen Jue, who was not blind, could clearly see their expressions.
Also because of his ability to read minds, Chen Jue could easily know their thoughts.
Seeing that they all thought of Zhi Jinwu, Chen Jue did not hide it.
Ming said: "I can't go out in the palace, and all the ministers regard me as a blind and trapped beast, and all of them dare to go behind my back to engage in cliques, corruption, illegality and discipline!
Today, I will tell you that Zhijinwu is my eyes outside. I know everything you do! "
All the ministers knelt down to apologize, "I don't dare, Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Don't you dare? Humph, I think you are very brave!"
Chen Jue's eyes suddenly darkened when he saw the expressions of the ministers below. He looked at the Right Prime Minister and said coldly: "The Right Prime Minister Li Qing knows the law and breaks the law. He practices favoritism in the imperial examination. He is now dismissed from the post of Right Prime Minister. In memory of his past merits, he will not be punished." Death penalty, exile to Bozhou County as county magistrate."
"As for you," Chen Jue glanced condescendingly and said coldly: "Everyone is fined for one year.
In addition - Liu Zhong, according to my decree, the first examination of this imperial examination will be retaken. "
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials shouted to Chen Jue, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The matter was resolved. Listening to the following words, Chen Jue felt great satisfaction in his heart.
He glanced at Liu Zhong slightly, and soon, Liu Zhong, who received the look, cleared his throat like a roundworm in Chen Jue's belly.
He shouted: "Your Majesty, if you have something to report, if you have nothing to do, please withdraw from the court."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone from the crowd immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have my own story to tell."
“!!!!!!”
It’s over, what is he going to do now? ? Wouldn't it be better to retire quietly?
Everyone looked back and saw the censor Zhang Chengqian standing up. Their hearts skipped a beat again, and they quickly turned to look at His Majesty with fear.
Seeing that the person standing up was Zhang Chengqian, Chen Jue didn't care what everyone was thinking. He sat upright and said, "Qing Zhang, what do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the left prime minister Wang Si."
Zhang Chengqian continued: "I impeached the left prime minister to deceive the emperor. The left prime minister knew that Xu Duanhuai, the governor of Bozhou County, had passed away half a year ago, but he concealed it and suppressed the matter."
After listening to Zhang Chengqian's impeachment, Chen Jue looked at Wang Si and asked him in a deep voice, "Is what he said the truth?"
Wang Si had long known that this matter would most likely be revealed to His Majesty, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Yes, he did know in advance that Xu Duanhuai, the governor of Bozhou County, had passed away, and even knew how he died.
But, he couldn't say it out of necessity!
But now that he was exposed, Wang Si suddenly felt a little more relaxed.
Wang Si breathed out a heavy breath and knelt down again to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
