now.
The sun shines on Xia Tian's face, making his smile so sweet. It contains sincerity and innocence that is harmless to humans and animals: "With so many of you coming to the palace to complain, there must be one person responsible for connecting them, right?"
"Let him come out and confront me!"
"You, Foreign Minister, cannot afford to kneel down in the palace. Your bloody cries of injustice are very important to His Majesty!"
"So, now in front of His Majesty, we confront each other and make it clear to him that if I am at fault, I will accept the punishment!
"If I break the law of the country, I will live in the Imperial City Prison by myself!"
"So, the truth is to resolve this matter sincerely, don't be afraid!"
"real!"
"snort....."
There was a cold snort from the group of family heads, and the voice was very low and strange: "It's better to say it than to sing it!"
The smile on Xia Tian's face remains unchanged: "The person who just spoke, please come out!"
However, no one dares to move!
He stared at someone in the group of family heads and smiled more gently: "Don't worry, His Majesty will uphold justice for you and make decisions for you. As long as you have evidence of colluding with the various ministries of the imperial court to extort you, Your Majesty will follow the Daxia Law. Let’s deal with the truth!”
"Because the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law!"
Hear this!
Emperor Xia's eyes lit up: "This boy has such a big heart!"
The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people... This boy really dares to say that!
On the street.
The eyes of the people of the imperial capital are bright!
Is the prince guilty of the same crime as the common people?
So what if these family heads, who are usually aloof and domineering, break the law?
now.
Sima Jian and the officials were a little panicked!
During the court meeting, King Huangzhou showed himself clean in front of the emperor and the officials. No matter who confronted him, he was invincible under the emperor's protection!
Now, the only thing that can make a fuss is that Huangzhou just beat the head of the Zhang family until blood splattered everywhere and committed the murder in the street!
Sima Jian narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully!
At this time, although the family heads did not know the outcome of the court meeting!
However, they were still too mature to act rashly!
At this time, Xia Tian raised his hand and said: "I can swear to God that I will never use the power in my hand to oppress others!"
"Really, I am known as the Holy King among the people. I am always fair and impartial in everything I do. You can trust me in my character!"
"Just be reasonable and I will never do anything!"
After finishing speaking, he found that there was still blood between his fingers, so he wiped it on the prime minister's uniform a few times!
Suddenly.
The Prime Minister's uniform had a few bloody fingerprints on it!
The cool wind blew over the backs of the heads of the family heads...so cold that they shrank their necks!
The bloody fingerprints on the Prime Minister's uniform are too glaring.
Now, the emperor's attitude is strange, he is not sure!
Twenty years after the founding of the Xia Dynasty, aristocratic families, powerful families, powerful people, and wealthy people faced off against the imperial power for the first time. Everyone knew the risks involved!
Otherwise, they would not have the identity and status to stand here and petition!
Originally, they thought that the idea was irrelevant!
However, the King of Huangzhou did not act according to common sense and made the petition scene into chaos, disrupting their rhythm and disrupting their plans!
The King of Huangzhou is so damn cruel!
"Why......"
It is important to file a complaint to regain face, but the price of life is even higher!
Isn’t it good to be alive?
They haven't enjoyed enough of the fine clothes and fine food!
They haven't collected all the beauties yet!
They haven’t tasted all the fine wine in the world yet!
Now, they are all scared!
One by one, they looked at their noses, noses and hearts, with their heads lowered and looking at the ground, as if the ants on the ground were the most interesting!
Emperor Xia stood on the Dragon Banquet without saying a word, waiting for the leader of the family to come out!
He also wanted to know who gave him the "eye medicine"?
Who wants to fight against the imperial power?
Anyway, the blame for making the plan has been thrown to Sima Jianjian, Xiaojiu will not lose!
In this confrontation between aristocratic families, wealthy families, rich people and the imperial power, he will not allow the imperial power to lose!
finally.
Sima Jian said: "Family heads, you are here to kneel and kowtow, don't you just want to invite His Majesty to come out?"
"Now, His Majesty is in front of you. If you have any grievances, feel free to tell me!"
"Don't worry, the prime minister and all the officials of the imperial court are here, and the right prime minister will not mess around!"
"If he messes around, I will stop him!"
Xia Tian took a deep look at Sima Jian!
As Lord Taishan, he encouraged the family heads to stand up even though he knew they would lose. What exactly was he planning?
How will he extricate himself from this matter?
So curious!
at this time.
After hearing Sima Jian's words, all the family heads seemed to have gained the courage to raise their heads.
Finally, an elegant middle-aged man of about forty years old came out, knelt in front of Long Chu and said: "My name is Li Tongshen, your Majesty, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live!"
Emperor Xia said gently: "Get up and speak!"
"According to the order!"
"Are you the leader of this petition?"
"no!"
Li Tongshen's head shook like a rattle: "You Cheng is mainly forcing food donations this time. The grassroots are in the grain business, so they let the grassroots come out to confront him!"
"Then let's start the confrontation!"
"According to the order!"
"Right Prime Minister, confront this Li Tongshen properly and don't mess around!"
"yes!"
Xia Tian looked respectful: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have always been rigorous in doing things, and I am not a random person!"
Everyone looked at the blood-stained prime minister's robe: "..."
Yes, you will beat someone if you mess up!
At this time.
Xia Tian stared at Li Shentong and asked: "During this donation operation, the truth has never shown up. How did you know that the truth colluded with various ministries of the imperial court to force donations?"
"There are rumors in the imperial capital that the plan to force donations was formulated by the Prime Minister You, and it was also the Prime Minister You who executed the plan!"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "So, your so-called evidence is...rumors?"
"It's not a rumor!"
Li Shentong rubbed his neck and said: "This is what a court official who cannot reveal his identity said, it is true!"
Xia Tian smiled more gently: "Who is that court official?"
"can not say!"
"Why......"
Xia Tian let out a faint sigh: "Li Shentong, do you know...this plan was formulated by Prime Minister Zuo, and it has nothing to do with the real situation!!"
"impossible!"
Li Shentong looked shocked: "This is absolutely impossible!"
Xia Tian pointed at Sima Jian: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Prime Minister Zuo personally!"
Sima Jian looked solemn: "It is indeed determined by the truth!"
He is definitely taking the blame!
At this time, Emperor Xia spoke appropriately: "Yes, the entire plan to rescue the victims of the imperial capital was formulated by the left prime minister himself, and he also reported it personally."
"So, you accused the wrong person!"
The owners are confused!
How could things come to this?
"Tell me now, who is that court official who spread the rumor to you?"
"If you don't tell me, I will chop off your head!"
"Plop..."
Li Shentong was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt down and pointed at Sima Jian: "Your Majesty, it was Prime Minister Zuo who told the grassroots..."
