Chapter 163: The Prime Minister's Treason (I)
"Is there anything else going on with the ministers?" A moment later, Emperor Feng Ke, who felt that the time was about the same, immediately threw a stone into the hall where the dark tide was surging.
In the next moment, there was a deathly silence in the hall, and most of the officials bowed their heads and were silent, they were all waiting for the earth-shattering duel between Marshal Ron and Prime Minister Rongte.
And the most difficult thing in this situation in front of him is probably Count Auno, he can be said to be unable to advance or retreat, neither can speak for Marshal Ron nor for Prime Minister Rongte, but in case one of them falls, then Hua Long and Hua Yun's situation is also an unbearable result for him.
"Since there is nothing to do, then ......" Seeing that there was no movement below, Emperor Feng Ke immediately spoke again.
However, at this moment, Marshal Ron finally acted!
He took a steady step forward, and then said imposingly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play!"
"Oh?" Emperor Feng Ke suddenly asked knowingly, "Is there anything important about the marshal?"
While asking, Emperor Feng Ke also swept his gaze to Prime Minister Rongte on the other side, only to see Prime Minister Rongte's old face instantly turned pale at the moment, and wiped his forehead with a towel from time to time.
And in the next second, Marshal Ron first snorted coldly at Prime Minister Rongte, and then turned his head to look at Emperor Feng Ke and asked, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, what is the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?"
This old guy asked knowingly, could it be that he was alluding to the prime minister? Emperor Feng Ke said in his heart.
However, he still replied quietly: "Regarding the law, Count Onno, as the chief of the judicial gendarme, should know better, Count Onno, this question is up to you to answer." ”
Count Auno also walked out immediately, although his face was calm, but his heart was diametrically opposite, "According to the provisions of Chapter 6 of Article 432 of the Code of the Cold Moon Empire, those who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country are guilty of treason, which is the first of the ten crimes of the empire, and those who commit this crime will be punished by the nine clans. ”
"Wouldn't he?
"Seems so. ”
Someone in the originally quiet hall suddenly began to talk in a whisper, and the sound became louder and louder.
Marshal Ron then asked, "Then the minister would like to ask the Earl of Auno again, what if this person is in a high position?"
His sword-like gaze was so heavy that Count Aonno could barely breathe.
"Treat them equally!" replied Count Auno, bowing his head in a slightly hesitant affirmative affirmation.
"Very good!" Marshal Ron's face showed a smile, and then he roared coldly again: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to report Prime Minister Rong Te's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country!"
"The former Northern Governor Audi Krien's son Qiulik was secretly killed by Prime Minister Rongte because he got the evidence of the Prime Minister Rongte collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and after several tosses, the evidence fell into the hands of Weichen, so I came to report it to Your Majesty!"
His roar swept through everyone's nerves like a huge wave crashing on the shore, and even Emperor Feng Ke was stunned.
In the next moment, the originally quiet cemetery-like hall suddenly became full of discussions, and many officials even openly "made a noise".
However, under the emperor's majestic glance, the noise suddenly disappeared!
Emperor Feng Ke suddenly asked lightly, "Marshal Ron, do you know what you're talking about?"
Speaking from his heart, Emperor Feng Ke did not expect that Ron, an old poisonous snake, would set off such a big "storm", and it seemed that he still had definite evidence in his hands, otherwise people like him would not have acted easily.
Marshal Ron immediately calmly took out the letter wrapped in cowhide and handed it to the chief of the chamberlain standing aside, and soon the letter reached the hands of Emperor Phonk, but Emperor Font was not in a hurry to open it, he was waiting for Marshal Ron's explanation.
"Your Majesty, this letter is the evidence of the crime obtained by Qiulik, the son of the former Northern Governor, although Weichen has not opened the seal, but according to the minister's investigation, the letter clearly records the ironclad evidence of Prime Minister Rongte's collaboration with the enemy!"
Is this old thing so sure?
Emperor Feng Ke couldn't help but be a little suspicious, but he was more angry, if what Marshal Ron said was true, then he would be strict, but the old fox Prime Minister Rongte would be restrained?
And Hua Long is also closely following the development of the situation, and he also knows that Prime Minister Rong Te will not be restrained!
Sure enough, the next second!
"Your Majesty, please don't open the letter yet!" the prime minister, Rongte, who was on crutches, walked out.
"Are you afraid?" Marshal Ron asked with a sneer.
Prime Minister Rong Te suddenly glared at him, "Your Majesty, the marshal asked two questions before handing over the letter, so can you allow the old minister to ask two questions before you open the letter?"
What tricks does this old fox want to play?
However, Emperor Feng Ke agreed to his request and placed the letter on the dragon chair, "You ask." ”
Prime Minister Ront suddenly turned his voice and whispered to Marshal Ron: "You forced me! Let's see, Lord Marshal!" After speaking, he asked Count Auno in a loud voice: "May I ask the Chief of the Judicial Gendarmerie, what is the crime of slandering the important ministers of the Empire, and what is the crime of slandering the important ministers of the Empire?"
Prime Minister Rongte looked calm when he asked these two questions, which made Count Ao Nuo breathe a sigh of relief, you must know that once what Marshal Ron said is true, then Hua Long will die!
"According to the Imperial Code, there are two kinds of crimes for slandering important officials, one is a misdemeanor and the punishment is cutting off the tongue of the rumor-monger, and the other is a serious crime, the punishment is death, and slandering a heavy minister is naturally a felony and deserves death!"
As soon as Count Auno's words came out, Marshal Ron was stunned for a moment, is he an idiot? I am a marshal, unless I commit a great crime of rebellion, all other crimes are exempt from punishment, thinking of this, Ron sneered, in his opinion, Prime Minister Ron's question is nothing more than a final struggle, he wants to bet on his determination, but the more he does this, the more he shows that he is weak-hearted.
And Prime Minister Rongte may be really weak at the moment, even his body is trembling, "Then let me ask again, if it is the imperial marshal who slanders the important ministers and treason, then what should he be guilty of?"
"Not guilty!" replied Count Onno very simply, after all, it was all stipulated in the Imperial Code.
"Ha!" Prime Minister Rong Te suddenly said to the ministers in a mocking tone: "Everyone has heard that the marshal is not guilty of slandering the important ministers of the imperial court for treason?
His words immediately attracted the seconding of many officials.
Seeing that many people supported Prime Minister Rongte's opinion, Emperor Feng Ke suddenly laughed in his heart, and secretly admired the prime minister's resourcefulness.
"You ......" Marshal Ron never thought that the other party would have this trick, and he was speechless for a while.
Prime Minister Rong Tede was unforgiving, and immediately continued to launch an offensive and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister did not have the treason that the marshal pointed out in the country, but the marshal just framed the old minister for treason, if Your Majesty opened this letter and confirmed that the old minister was guilty, the old minister was willing to accept the punishment of the law, on the contrary, if this letter has nothing to do with the old minister, then how should it be determined? Could it be that the old minister is so allowed to be framed by others?"
Marshal Ron originally relied on a letter to point all the fingers at Prime Minister Rongte, but he didn't expect to be kicked back by the other party on false accusations, and made the initiator of the incident, that is, himself, the target of public criticism.
Clever!
Hua Long, Batov, and Emperor Feng Ke all thought so at this time.
In the face of the doubts of the government and opposition officials, Marshal Ron suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation, he began to hesitate, if there is no problem with the letter, then naturally everything will be easy, but if the letter is really as Prime Minister Rongte said, and it has nothing to do with his treason, then it will be difficult for him to step down.
Thinking of this, Marshal Ron couldn't help but glance at Prime Minister Rongte.
Why was his gaze so determined, and was the content of the letter really irrelevant to him?
Neither of them spoke, just stared at each other hostilely.
After a long time, Marshal Ron finally retreated in his heart, and he decided to end the previous "farce" with a misunderstanding, it seems that he is indeed not fully prepared now, and he needs a stronger trump card to deal with this old fox.
However, at this moment, Marshal Ron suddenly noticed a small detail, that is, there was a small bead of sweat running down the side face of Prime Minister Rongte.
Is he afraid?
Almost cheated by this old bastard! Ron scolded himself for being stupid, but in the end, he saw through the other party's tricks!
"Your Majesty!" Marshal Ron suddenly said with confidence and extreme certainty: "Although I am a marshal, I also know that it is really inappropriate to frame important ministers of the court, so please judge Your Majesty, if this letter really has nothing to do with the Prime Minister, then the old minister will voluntarily resign and apologize to the Prime Minister in public!"
His words once again caused an uproar in this huge hall.
"Is he crazy?"
"Crazy, I see he's awake. ”
"I'm afraid the Prime Minister will be done this time. "A few discerning officials have already seen the clues.
Indeed, after Marshal Ron's words ended, Prime Minister Rongte's whole person was immediately like paralyzed cotton, and even his standing was a little unstable, and he kept wiping the sweat oozing from his forehead when his eyes wandered.
Seeing Prime Minister Rongte's embarrassed ugliness, Marshal Ron suddenly sneered, "What's the matter, Prime Minister, are you very hot?"
"You ......" the prime minister at the moment looked completely at the end of his rope, "do you really want to do this? marshal?"
"Yes!"
"Since the prime minister does not object, and the marshal has made a promise, then I will demolish it. Emperor Feng Ke's tone and attitude at this time were also quite tough, and his performance was to tell everyone that he had taken the words of the two seriously, and no matter what the result was, he would not allow remorse!
Suddenly, the hall was unusually quiet, and all eyes were focused on His Majesty and the letter in his hand that was about to be opened.
And under the anxious gaze of everyone's eyes, the letter was finally gently unfolded......
......
......
