"Since taking charge of the Demon Blood Case, not only have you ordered your men to arrest the officials' families, causing public outrage and panic in the capital, but you've also privately tortured them to extract confessions, disregarding the criminal laws of the Great Zhou. This is your third crime!"
"These three serious crimes are all proven by witnesses and evidence. Your Majesty, please make your judgment!"
Lu Dingzhi's voice was sonorous and powerful. Although he was over seventy years old, he still carried a murderous aura. For a moment, everyone in the Qianyuan Hall fell silent.
Burning eyes!
All the dignitaries in the court focused their attention on the small memorial in Lu Dingzhi's hand.
What an amazing memorial!
In the side hall, Xiao Chen was shocked.
Hearing Lu Dingzhi's words, even he couldn't help but be surprised.
This was obviously well prepared. The three major crimes, all of the conditions were directly pointed at Xiao Chen himself.
The key point is that this memorial is very clever.
Avoid the strong and attack the weak!
It seems that they are serious crimes, but if you look closely, the first one says that he has discredited the royal family of the Great Zhou, the second one says that he has no respect for seniority, and the third one says that he has violated the laws of the Great Zhou.
With such a serious crime, how can he be said to have not violated it?
Even dogs don't believe it.
In addition, Lu Dingzhi personally submitted a memorial,
Even if Emperor Ming Jing wanted to protect Xiao Chen, he couldn't speak up.
Ding ding ding.
Xiao Chen watched as a young eunuch in a green robe handed the memorial to Emperor Ming Jing. Emperor Ming Jing flipped through it expressionlessly and said:
"Since the teacher impeached Xiaojiu."
"Then...let's face off in front of the palace!"
As he spoke, he threw the memorial back to the young eunuch.
The young eunuch in green robe understood what he meant and shouted in a shrill voice:
"The ninth prince, Xiao Chen, is here to see you!"
"The ninth prince, Xiao Chen, is here to see you!"
"The ninth prince, Xiao Chen, is here to see you!"
......
Xiao Chen had a blank expression on his face and straightened his clothes.
He looked straight ahead and walked out of the side hall confidently.
What about Lu Dingzhi?
So what if the Crown Prince and King Jing join forces?
No one can stop him.
"Ninth Prince..."
"The Ninth Prince is here again!"
"Now let's see what he will do!"
“So many people are criticizing him!”
As soon as he entered the hall, Xiao Chen felt everyone's eyes were looking at him.
As he passed by these ministers, all kinds of whispers came into his ears.
"Greetings, Father!"
"Meet Mr. Lu!"
Xiao Chen walked to the first row and bowed slightly to Emperor Ming Jing.
Then he saw Crown Prince Xiao Ming and Prince Jing Xiao Jing looking at him with smug eyes.
"Xiao Chen, Lord Lu has impeached you for disrespecting your brother and the law. What do you have to say?"
Emperor Ming Jing looked at Xiao Chen who appeared and rebuked him harshly.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Xiao Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his head and looked at Lu Dingzhi and said.
Wow!
As soon as Xiao Chen finished confessing his guilt,
The Qianyuan Hall was like a boiling pot.
Not only Crown Prince Xiao Ming showed a look of surprise,
The chief minister of the cabinet, the Minister of Personnel Lin Yanfu, Situ Wuming, Lu Dingzhi, the Minister of Revenue Nangong Yi, the Minister of War Zhou Xuanbing, the Minister of Punishment Cai Kun, the Minister of Works Tang Yuanming, the Minister of Rites Guo Lin, now all the bigwigs in the court turned to look at Xiao Chen.
With a look of shock on his face.
After all, the last time Xiao Chen went to court, he was lawless. He knocked out Ning Yu, the Ningnan Marquis who impeached him, in the Qianyuan Hall without saying a word.
Why are you so low-key today?
Admit your mistake right away?
"According to what Lord Lu said, working for the Great Zhou is a crime!"
"According to this logic, what's wrong with me confessing my guilt?"
Xiao Chen smiled slightly and then spoke.
If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you will always find a pretext.
If Xiao Chen refuted Lu Dingzhi's words one by one, he would fall into his trap.
Therefore, Xiao Chen directly "summarized" Lu Dingzhi's point of view and brought him into his own rhythm.
[This can also be used in real life. If someone falsely accuses you, you can summarize their point of view and then attack them based on that point of view.]
In a moment,
Xiao Chen's words exploded throughout the Qianyuan Hall.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The treacherous son...
Even Emperor Ming Jing cursed inwardly.
He felt relieved, but he didn't even realize it.
"Ninth Prince, why do you say such things to frame me?"
"I never said that."
When Lu Dingzhi heard what Xiao Chen said, he frowned and snorted.
"No?"
"According to the old man, I am doing errands for the Great Zhou, and refuting the Crown Prince is disrespectful to my elders!"
"This prince is handling the demon blood case. Apprehending the criminal is disrespectful of the Great Zhou criminal law."
"I spoke to Lord Nangong, but in the mouth of the old man, it was said that I was slandering the royal family?"
Xiao Chen fought and defended at the same time, and suddenly launched into a barrage of verbal attacks.
Confusing right and wrong and confusing the public.
"Master Nangong, right?"
Finally, Xiao Chen turned to look at Nangong Yi and said.
"Your Majesty, I never had any dispute with Your Highness!"
"All of this is simply because my old illness has relapsed."
"It has nothing to do with Your Highness?"
Nangong Yiren was an experienced man. When he saw Xiao Chen looking at him, he quickly stood up and explained to Xiao Chen.
Silk~~
In a moment,
In the main hall.
Everyone...
Everyone was shocked!
"you...."
......
