How did these two end up together?
"Zhuge Yi, do you mean that the Prime Minister has also tried to coerce and bribe you, and that if you don't do as he says, he will kill your whole family?"
After asking that question, Feng Ji suddenly laughed.
A hearty laugh echoed throughout the hall, but everyone found it grating.
Feng Ji suddenly spoke, which surprised everyone.
Zhuge Yi, who had just been thinking about how to make the story more vivid, suddenly didn't know what to say.
Zhuge Yi looked at Feng Ji awkwardly, swallowed hard, and then continued the conversation.
“Your Highness, the Prime Minister did not treat me this way, but since the Prime Minister holds a high position and great power, I still agreed. I am ashamed of my behavior.”
“As fellow soldiers protecting the nation, how could I have committed such a heinous act? I have failed the King of Libei, and even more so, I have failed my own conscience. That is why I stand here today to reveal the secrets of the past.”
"I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness, I beg Your Highness's forgiveness, and I also hope that the people of the world can forgive my actions."
A mocking smile appeared on Feng Ji's face as he stared unblinkingly at Zhuge Yi, his voice turning icy.
"Zhuge Yi, in this court, you framed your colleagues; before the people of the whole country, you framed loyal and virtuous officials; to the Emperor, you are deceiving him. Such a serious crime, how can you talk about forgiveness?"
As soon as Feng Ji finished speaking, Zhuge Yi froze on the spot.
Just moments before, Zhuge Yi was thinking about how to frame the Prime Minister, but after hearing Feng Ji's words, Zhuge Yi suddenly began to worry about himself.
Yes, Feng Ji is absolutely right. He has let down the Emperor and the people. If what he just said is true, he had let down the Prince of Libei before, and now he has let down the Prime Minister!
No matter which crime it is, it is a capital offense!
Zhuge Yi gasped, cold sweat pouring down his face.
"Your Majesty, this old minister does not believe that the Prime Minister would do such a thing. I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
Mu Quan spoke again, his voice sharp.
Feng Mo Ran snorted coldly, "Does the Marquis not trust the abilities of the officials in court? In order to protect the Prime Minister, is Marquis Mu going to offend all the civil and military officials?"
Mu Quan was speechless for a moment, and could only look up at Feng Gu Che on the dragon throne.
Feng Guche remained silent.
For a moment, the entire court fell silent.
Finally, the Empress Dowager's voice rang out.
"Are all those who have accused the Prime Minister of his crimes here? I would like to ask you, why did you do this? Why not live a good life instead of framing loyal officials and ruining your reputation? What's the point?"
Those who had just been so confident in their criticism of the Prime Minister suddenly fell silent, none of them knowing how to respond to the Empress Dowager's words.
"The Prime Minister is a man of treacherous intentions and is extremely jealous. He was worried that the Prince of Libei would affect his position in the future, so he resorted to this wicked strategy, which led to the suffering of the Prince of Libei's family."
"The King of Libei is loyal to the country and its people, yet his talent has been obscured. I only asked him to thoroughly investigate this matter because I do not believe that the King of Libei would commit treason."
"Now that the matter has been resolved, Your Majesty only needs to accept it."
Feng Guche's voice finally rang out, and his first words were the final decision.
In Feng Guche's eyes, there was now a complete set of witnesses and physical evidence.
