The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Eunuch Gu's eyes were filled with fear, and he was about to ask someone to call the genius doctor Yunya, but the emperor stopped him with a look.

When the court officials heard that the prince had been framed, they were all shocked, especially the prince's party, whose eyes were wide open.

When Xin Rui took advantage of the prince, he implicated many court officials.

The prince's party was almost uprooted.

Xin Rui's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Zhen Jinian, "The Crown Prince led his troops in rebellion back then. What does this have to do with me, the Prime Minister?"

Zhen Zhinian sneered and looked up at Xin Rui. "It has nothing to do with you. You were the one who planned this. It was you who created the crisis in the Royal Hunting Garden."

Zhen Zhinian turned to look at the emperor. "Your Majesty, do you remember that many wild animals in the royal hunting park went berserk? It was Prime Minister Xin who had the people in the hunting park drug the animals, causing them to panic and charge at Your Majesty. But the Prime Minister slandered the Crown Prince as the cause..."

The royal hunting grounds of Daxuan covered a mountain in the north of Shangjing. It not only raised herbivores such as deer and wild boars, but also some wolves and brown bears.

Back then, it was the wolf and the bear who showed their power and almost hurt the emperor.

Upon hearing the news, the prince led his troops to rescue them, but was slandered by Xin Rui and accused of plotting a rebellion.

Xin Rui argued in a deep voice, "The matter of feeding the beasts medicine was already investigated back then. It was done by the Crown Prince's men and has nothing to do with this Prime Minister."

"Of course it has something to do with Prime Minister Xin." Zhen Zhinian said sternly.

Xin Rui felt like he was being clamped by a pair of huge pliers and couldn't break free.

Zhen Zhinian said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the man who drugged the hunting grounds was a close confidant of the Prime Minister. He is now the steward in charge of the hunting grounds. He is afraid of death and cowardly. Your Majesty, please have him interrogated strictly. The truth will surely come out."

Zhen Zhinian was forced by Xin Rui to participate in this matter.

If he disagreed, Xin Rui would take action against him. He had no choice but to join the prime minister's faction.

From then on, he completely became a knife in Xin Rui's hand.

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Ling Mohan, immediately take people to arrest the hunting garden's chief steward and interrogate him strictly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ling Mohan accepted the order and retreated.

The emperor turned to look at Pei Wangjie, "Lord Pei, the interrogation is now in your hands."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Pei Wangjie replied with a bow.

Everyone couldn't help but look up at Pei Wangjie. In their impression, this eldest grandson of Duke Pei was not outstanding, but they didn't expect that he would become the new Minister of Justice.

Minister Pei is young and will surely achieve great things in the future.

Zhen Zhinian bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, there is more to the story than meets the eye. Back then, you ordered the Crown Prince to be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice and interrogated strictly.

"While I was interrogating the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Xin ordered me to torture him. Unable to withstand the torture, the Crown Prince pleaded guilty to treason, and his position as Crown Prince was abolished..."

There was an uproar in the hall.

The court officials were discussing the matter, and a sweet and fishy taste of blood surged from the emperor's throat.

The prince was even tortured into confessing, let alone others?

"Zhen Zhinian, you really have evil intentions!"

Xin Rui's voice exploded throughout the hall, "Why didn't you expose this matter back then? Now that you've surrendered to Prince Yong, you're digging up these old stories to slander me?"

Zhen Zhinian spoke calmly, "I didn't expose it back then because you were so powerful that no one could do anything to you even if I told you. I'm exposing it now because there's hope in the court. Finally, someone in the Daxuan court is capable of punishing the treacherous and upholding justice."

After he finished speaking, Zhen Zhinian raised his eyes and glanced at Si Yan.

After saying these things, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Even if he died, he could die peacefully.

Zhen Zhinian took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, not only that, after overthrowing the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Xin has set his sights on Prince Yong. His goal is very clear, which is to eliminate Your Majesty's other princes and pave the way for Prince Xin."

"Make it up! Keep making it up!" Xin Rui pointed at Zhen Zhinian's nose and said angrily.

"Why is Prime Minister Xin so upset?" Zhen Zhinian sneered.

"Your Majesty, when Prince Yong was guarding the border, Xin Rui had the Minister of War Dong Yi slander him in front of Your Majesty, saying that Prince Yong was holding his own troops and plotting rebellion. Your Majesty therefore transferred Prince Yong back to Shangjing and replaced him with General Ling Yuefeng. As a result, Beiyan Pass fell in less than three months.

"The Beimang army marched south, directly towards Xiongyue Pass. In the end, it was Prince Yong who stepped forward to guard the border. As a result, Xin Rui orchestrated an imperial decree to interfere with border military affairs, ordering Prince Yong to guard Xiongyue Pass and not send out any more troops. Ultimately, this led to Prince Yong being imprisoned for disobeying the imperial decree. Prime Minister Xin only cared about his own interests, not the interests of the country."

Listening to Zhen Jinian's denunciation, the emperor suddenly realized that Xin Rui's arrogance was closely related to his own stupidity at that time.

How on earth had he been tricked by the Xin siblings into making these decisions?

Xin Rui said coldly, "These are all the ideas of Minister of War Dong Yi. What do they have to do with me?"

Zhen Zhinian replied, "Dong Yi is just a pawn in the hands of the Prime Minister. All of Dong Yi's ideas are the Prime Minister's ideas."

"Absurd!" Xin Rui tossed his sleeves. "Dong Yi has already been executed, and there is no evidence against him. Yet you are blaming all this on me."

Zhen Zhinian said solemnly, "Your Majesty, when Prince Yong was imprisoned, Xin Rui also ordered me to torture him to extract a confession. He urged me to use any means necessary to force Prince Yong to admit that he had an army and was plotting a rebellion."

Zhen Zhinian sighed, and tears welled up in his eyes when he thought of what happened in prison.

Even he admired the courage of King Yong.

"Under pressure from the Prime Minister, I had no choice but to agree. However, Prince Yong is different from the Crown Prince. No matter how I torture him, he is a stubborn man and will not confess even if he dies.

"I had no choice but to release Prince Yong, but this incident implicated several senior ministers, including the old Grand Tutor."

The scene of Prince Yong dying appeared in front of the emperor's eyes, and tears couldn't help but well up in his eyes.

He couldn't imagine that Prince Yong had suffered so much just because of his stupidity.

There was also the crown prince, who clearly wanted to save him, but was slandered for treason and was deposed from the crown prince position.

No wonder the Queen didn't even want to look at him for the past five years...

"Zhen Jinian, do you have any evidence for the things you said?" Xin Rui said with a gloomy expression.

Zhen Zhinian looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I am the evidence. These things were all done by Xin Rui through me. Before I was about to give Xin Rui away, I was ready to die with him.

"I was forced by Xin Rui to commit these crimes, and I have lived in constant fear. Now that I can speak out, I have no regrets. I only ask Your Majesty to punish this corrupt official."

The ministers were filled with mixed emotions, and many people in the court couldn't help but shed tears.

The emperor looked at Xin Rui coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
