Chapter 157 From Old Eunuch to Emperor 6
"Have you found someone to take over the position of Prime Minister?" Xiao Bai had been following behind Xu Fu the whole time.
After everyone had left, she asked softly,
"Isn't there you?!" Xu Fu said shamelessly, looking at Xiaobai.
Xu Fu bought an Enlightenment Pill from the system shop and threw it directly at the person.
"This elixir will make you a hundred times smarter; from now on, the position of Prime Minister will belong to you, the Crown Prince—"
Xu Fu patted Xiaobai on the shoulder and said in a serious tone,
"Whether I can keep my throne or not depends on you from now on."
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes, took the pill, and swallowed it directly.
When the three days were up, during the court session, Xu Fu was instructed to smash the memorial to the ground as a signal.
The Imperial Guards stormed into the Hall of Diligent Governance and immediately detained all the officials.
Ignoring the astonished looks of the crowd, the leading general led his men directly towards the prime minister and detained him on the spot.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! What do you mean by this?"
The prime minister was also completely bewildered. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already been forced to the ground.
Behind the Prime Minister stood a man, each with a sharp knife held across his neck.
If you're not careful, the sharp blade can slice through your delicate neck...
"What do you mean! You old scoundrel, Prime Minister, how dare you ask such a question!" Xu Fu shouted.
Regardless of how others viewed him, he focused solely on unleashing his full potential and venting his pent-up frustration!
"Someone has already reported you to me, saying that you're planning to betray the country along with everyone else."
"Mining and weapon forging—"
"Your memorial has been delivered to me three times already, reflecting your dedication to the court."
"I've already given you three chances, but I never expected you to be so stubborn."
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless—"
Upon hearing Xu Fu mention iron ore and weapon manufacturing, the Prime Minister's heart skipped a beat.
But then I realized that neither of these titles belonged to me.
As long as he denies it to the death, and with the pleas of his other disciples, he might be able to escape unscathed.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject did not—"
Xu Fu didn't say much, and directly ordered someone to bring him the report that the system had generated—
It was placed boldly in front of the Prime Minister.
"Prime Minister, open your dog eyes and take a good look! Are you being wronged, or is it true?!"
Xu Fu snorted coldly, his gaze fixed intently on the remaining people.
We're all waiting to see how the Prime Minister will react after reading that "charge"...
The prime minister begged for mercy while his eyes quickly swept over the memorial.
His expression shifted rapidly from fear and unease to resentment at being slandered.
He didn't forget to turn his head to look at the people behind him, constantly giving them meaningful glances.
Xu Fu also saw this and gave a heavy snort, "Does the Prime Minister think that I can frame you without investigation?"
"Your Majesty, it's all a frame-up! This old minister did not do these things—"
"I implore Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and clear this old minister's name!"
"Innocence?!" Xu Fu glared coldly at the man. "I see you won't give up until you're faced with the truth, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin—"
"Commander of the Imperial Guards," Xu Fu nodded to the leader.
"Take some men and make a thorough search of the Prime Minister's residence—"
"And while you're at it, imprison all their family members in the imperial prison."
"I do not believe that under torture, no one would be willing to tell the truth."
"Your Majesty, you mustn't—"
"Before the matter is clarified, won't His Majesty's actions discourage all the veteran officials?!"
"We urge Your Majesty to reconsider—"
Seeing that the situation was developing unfavorably for the Prime Minister, all the officials knelt down.
They planned to use numbers to pressure Xu Fu into stopping the operation and ceasing all pursuit.
"Since my beloved ministers are unwilling to believe me, then all of you may stay and wait a while—"
Xu Fu said nothing more and ignored the crowd's pleas for mercy.
He sat calmly on the dragon throne, staring at Xiaobai.
On one hand, the system broadcast live the scene of the Imperial Guards raiding the Prime Minister's residence.
With the secret guards clearly holding back, the Imperial Guards followed the clues left behind by the enemy...
Not only did they find the dragon robe that the secret guards had placed there, but they also found a detailed inventory list of iron ore mining and storage.
In less than an hour, the dragon robe and the list were presented to Xu Fu.
Along with this, there was also some exciting news.
"The Emperor and the Prime Minister's steward have confessed; this is their statement—"
"The iron ore mining did indeed go through the housekeeper's hands, and he has already admitted it."
Xu Fu took the list from the eunuch and quickly glanced through it.
Then I glanced at the butler's confession—
He immediately found a pretext, jumped up, pointed at the prime minister, and made a gesture as if he was trembling with anger.
"You dare to manufacture weapons?! Do you want to rebel against the heavens?!"
Xu Fu ignored the man's tears and desperate pleas for mercy.
He threw the list and the butler's confession at the crowd.
"My esteemed subjects, take a good look—"
"Is this evidence genuine? Have I wronged the Prime Minister?"
"I suppose you should make a decision by now."
The group quickly took the two pieces of evidence, and after reading them, they were speechless and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"According to the laws of this dynasty, what is the punishment for privately forging weapons?"
Xu Fu gave Xiaobai a look, and the childish voice immediately resounded throughout the Qin Zheng Hall.
"According to the crime, he should be executed, and his entire family should be exterminated—"
"emperor,"
"emperor!!!"
As soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, and seeing that the Emperor was about to agree, the others all begged for mercy on behalf of the Prime Minister.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is the mother of the Imperial Concubine, and the Imperial Concubine has also given birth to a prince—"
"I beg Your Majesty to spare the Prime Minister for the sake of the Imperial Concubine."
It would have been better if the other person hadn't said anything; after they did, the Prime Minister turned deathly pale and felt utterly hopeless...
This isn't pleading for mercy; it's practically putting him on the fire.
His manufacturing of weapons was originally intended to seize military power and install a new emperor.
Now that he's been directly exposed, what will become of him?
His daughter, his unborn child, and the lives of his entire clan—
I'm afraid we won't even see tomorrow's sun.
The prime minister collapsed to the ground, instantly losing the ability to resist.
He admitted to the crimes of mining iron ore and manufacturing weapons, but where did that dragon robe come from?!
Even if he denies it, there's nothing he can do to change it.
Adding or removing charges will only give him a little more breathing room...
"Yes!" Xu Fu nodded solemnly, "Prime Minister, for the sake of my Imperial Concubine, for the sake of my Prince—"
"You really went to great lengths?!"
"This involves both imperial robes and weapon manufacturing; I'd like to ask..."
"Does the Prime Minister truly intend to support the new emperor, or does he intend to seize the throne from me outright?!"
