"When I returned to my father's palace, when I went to Zhongshu Pavilion, I found that he had committed suicide out of fear of crime."

"What!"

Emperor Jingwen was shocked.

Many officials were also shocked.

A chief copywriter at Zhongshu Pavilion actually committed suicide out of fear of crime!

Obviously, he was afraid of exposing something, so he used this method to cover up the facts.

Although Emperor Jingwen was seriously ill, he was like a bright mirror in his heart.

He knew very well that the reason behind this incident must be related to the kings competing for the heir apparent.

Being able to make an official of Zhongshu Pavilion risk his life shows that the power of some people in the court is already very powerful.

The Eight Wise Kings raised the corners of their mouths, revealing a slight sneer.

The copywriter has nothing to prove, so he can put all the blame on him and get away with it.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Emperor Jingwen coughed again, and his face became extremely ugly and pale.

"Father!"

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone’s expression changed.

The young prince slapped Emperor Jingwen on the back, and it took him a while to regain his composure.

"Since I came to the throne, I have worked hard to create a prosperous era, but I never thought that the officials of the imperial court would be so corrupt, taking bribes and perverting the law, fighting for fame and fortune, ahem...I am ashamed of my late emperor and my ancestors..."

"I am guilty, please punish the emperor."

All officials hurriedly bowed and admitted their mistake.

The Eighth Sage King knelt down and said: "My ministers have improperly employed people. I didn't know that there were officials in the court instructing disciples to take bribes and pervert the law, causing the court to be humiliated. I beg my father to punish me."

"You kneeled down at the right time." Emperor Jingwen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Everyone heard the implication. It would be much better for the Eighth Sage King to take the initiative to plead guilty than to be punished by Emperor Jingwen. However, he put the responsibility on others with just one sentence, and at the same time he looked like he was taking the blame. But

It’s a little disgusting.

"A decree was passed that officials from Nanping Yamen and Hedao Prefecture involved in embezzling money from the imperial court should be dismissed from their posts and investigated, handed over to Dali Temple for conviction, and a letter was written to the Guoxue Palace to be dismissed from their positions."

"As ordered." The eunuch responded hurriedly.

"The Eight Wise Kings."

"My son is here."

The Eight Wise Kings looked nervous.

"You learn from me everywhere, but you don't learn like me at all."

Emperor Jingwen's words immediately made the Eight Wise Kings sweat.

"I found that you are not suitable to be a prince."

The faces of the Eight Wise Kings changed greatly, and the faces of the officials of the Wise Kings Party changed greatly.

Emperor Jingwen's words were equivalent to denying the Eight Wise Kings.

No matter how hard he worked, he would never be chosen as the crown prince by Emperor Jingwen.

The other kings were overjoyed. They did not expect that the Prince Reelection had just begun and the Eight Wise Kings would be eliminated so quickly.

"Please, father, have mercy." The Eight Wise Kings hurriedly kowtowed and begged.

"What I hate most is corrupt officials."

Emperor Jingwen looked determined.
