Chapter 44 Rebuttal
But he never expected that Zuo Zhu was actually from Wuhun Palace.
If this is the case, if Emperor Xueye wants to order the death of Zuo Zhu, he will have to consider the Wuhun Palace.
"Boy, how do I know what you say is true? Do you know what the consequences are for the crime of deceiving the emperor?" the Minister of Punishment asked with the last glimmer of hope.
Zuosuke smiled faintly: "Whether I am from Wuhun Palace or not, you will know immediately after checking. There is no need for me to lie about this kind of thing."
Zuosuke believed that Emperor Xueye would definitely be able to find out his identity. After all, his identity was not considered a secret for a person of Xueye's level.
The Minister of Punishment couldn't help but twitch his face, and his face only felt more painful.
Those who had said before that Zuosuke would definitely be dragged down and executed looked even more burning with pain, as if they had been slapped hard.
And it's still the kind that smokes after the left side is drawn and the right side is drawn.
Emperor Xueye waved his hand, interrupting everyone who was in shock.
"Zaosuke, I won't care about you setting fire to escape from prison. I will just treat you as a child who did something wrong. However, you tried to murder an official of the imperial court. This is a serious crime of rebellion.
Today, no matter what you say, you cannot escape the death penalty. "
When he said the last sentence, Emperor Xueye's tone had become extremely gloomy.
These words represent the attitude of Emperor Xueye, or rather, the attitude of the Tiandou Empire.
Even if Zuosuke is from Wuhun Palace, he will still die.
Xue Ye believed that Wuhun Palace would never fall out with the Tiandou Empire because of a genius.
Many court officials couldn't help but feel shaken, and looked at Zuosuke with eyes full of amusement.
Even if you are from Wuhun Palace, so what if you offend our Tiandou Empire, you will still die.
The already despairing face of the Minister of Justice, Zuo Shilang, was filled with hope again. Looking at Zuosuke next to him, it was like looking at a dead person.
Prime Minister Zuo Li Su raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of surprise on his face. Shaking his head, he seemed to feel that Zuosuke's death was not worth it.
An imperceptible joy appeared on the face of the Minister of Justice. If Zuozhu dies, he will keep his official title, so of course he will be happy.
Kill the imperial official? What the hell? When did I kill the imperial official?
Zuosuke complained crazily in his heart. He finally understood why Emperor Xueye did not find out the crime of deceiving the emperor, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment.
The left minister of the Ministry of Punishment was not found to have killed the prisoner privately.
That's because the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment had a shit basin thrown at him, which was to kill the imperial court official. To put it seriously, he killed the imperial court official. It is tantamount to rebellion.
The left minister of the Ministry of Punishment killed himself without the emperor's consent, so it was not considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.
After all, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment has the right to make the decision on his own to kill the rebels.
Zuosuke glanced at the expressionless Minister Zuo of the Criminal Department next to him, and his expression darkened.
Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
Thinking of this, Zuosuke took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I came here is not to prove my innocence, but to report a very important news to the Emperor."
Having said this, Zuosuke glanced at the Minister of Justice Zuo next to him, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
Seeing Zuosuke's smile, Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department felt a thump in his heart, and a vague feeling of something bad arose spontaneously.
"If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly." Emperor Xue Ye said calmly.
"The common people have discovered a secret, that is, Mr. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice has the intention to seek power and usurp the throne." As Zuosuke's voice slowly spoke, there was an uproar around him.
Ignoring the uproar from the courtiers, Zuosuke continued to speak unhurriedly: "After the common people were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, they discovered that Mr. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment was taking advantage of his authority.
Execution of prisoners privately caused the prisoners to complain and panic. It stands to reason that the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment should have the emperor's consent to execute prisoners.
But Mr. Zuo Shilang did not do this, which made me very confused. On the first day when I was really going to be executed, Mr. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment asked me.
If I was willing to submit to him, I would be spared the death penalty. Only then did I know that Mr. Zuo Shilang was secretly planning his own team, and he had already planned to usurp the throne. "
The Minister of Justice Zuo was stunned for a moment, and then he got angry. He pointed at Zuosuke's nose and yelled: "Bold, Zuoshu, don't spit on anyone."
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment almost fainted because he still didn't understand why Zuo Zhu insisted on coming to the court. In the past, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment thought that Zuo Zhu wanted to clear his grievances.
The reason why Zuosuke was brought in so confidently was because the evidence of Zuosuke's rebellion was irrefutable. No matter how he argued it,
In the face of absolute facts, there is only one word "death".
But now, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment never expected that Zuo Zhu would be so courageous that he would beat him up and in turn frame him for rebellion.
This man's scheming is so profound that it cannot be fathomed.
The surrounding court officials were also in an uproar, and they all looked at Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment with surprised and uncertain eyes.
If what Sasuke said was true.
Then Zuosuke doesn't have to die, the person who died was Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but remember that they had vowed before that Zuosuke would definitely die today.
But now, the facts undoubtedly gave them a slap in the face, causing burning pain on their faces.
Prime Minister Zuo Li Su looked slightly embarrassed, turned his head and looked at Zuo Su, who was standing indifferently. As the first person in the dynasty, one person below ten thousand people, he cast his official gaze on Zuo Su for the first time.
Emperor Xue Ye was slightly surprised, his eyes locked tightly on Zuosuke.
Over the years, as an emperor, I have seen countless geniuses, but no one has ever been as sharp as Zuosuke.
The Minister of Punishment narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zuosuke closely. In his heart,
For the first time, he regarded the twelve-year-old Spearhead boy in front of him as his opponent. Perhaps this is the youngest opponent that Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice has ever encountered.
Mud, pig brain, how could you bring such a child into the court? Pig brain, even if the emperor does not remove you from your official position, I will definitely remove you from your official position after the court.
Casting his gaze on the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he couldn't help but feel angry. He was roaring crazily in his heart. If this was not in the court, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment might have rushed up and slapped the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment twice.
"Do you have evidence? If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense." Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment had to stand up and speak for his unsatisfied subordinate.
"That's right, Zuosuke, do you know the consequences of falsely accusing an imperial official?" Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment had also come to his senses and stared at Zuosuke with a cold gaze.
