Chapter 167 Fighting for one’s life

Zhao Ning ignored the gazes of these people and stood in the main hall, looking at the emperor sitting high on the dragon throne in the distance. His eyes were full of perseverance, as if the thoughts in his heart had never wavered.

The emperor looked down at Zhao Ning with an extremely embarrassed expression.

The emperor was originally in a good mood, but today Zhao Ning jumped out and slapped him in the face. Although Zhao Ning was the number one scholar in the current subject that he personally selected, the slap in the face came so quickly, which was beyond his expectation.

However, he did not get angry immediately, but looked at Zhao Ning coldly and said, "What are your grievances? If you can't tell a reason, do you know the consequences?"

Zhao Ning immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the common people have no choice but to tell this matter. If I don't tell this, I'm afraid I won't be able to cultivate my mind in this life. My biological mother, the An family, was secretly murdered by my aunt, the Shang family.

, Human life is at stake, and killing someone to pay for life has been a matter of course since ancient times. Please make the decision, Your Majesty, to give justice to my biological mother, and to justice to the laws and regulations of the court."

Listening to Zhao Ning's eloquent words, Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh and thought in his heart: "It seems that this matter has come. But I didn't expect that he would be so strong-willed and use the form of complaint during the palace examination.

way to resolve this matter."

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but gasp, whispering and discussing.

This incident is not uncommon in wealthy and aristocratic families. It is common for the mother to leave the son and the aunt to kill the concubine. It is not a rare thing.

The strange thing is that the person who complained today is the same person.

Who is Zhao Chen? The emperor has just appointed the number one scholar in modern science, a scholar through the ages who created the myth of the Eight Yuan Dynasties.

As the saying goes, a poisonous husband is a husband.

For a moment, the prince and others were thinking about whether they would need to win over Zhao Chen in the future and pay for a person with no future.

How can I be vague about my own affairs?

Now that Zhao Chen has brought this matter to light, he seems to be risking everything to the death.

Seeing Zhao Ning say that he knew about this, the emperor immediately frowned and thought nothing about it.

After listening to the emperor's inquiry, Zhao Ning thought for a moment, then looked at Zhao Chen, his mind ran out of ideas.

In theory, Zhao Chen is at a loss.

The former is willing to do so and has no previous problems.

Before it became clear who had a lower chance of winning, Zhao Ning decisively chose to abandon the Shang family and said: "Young man Chen works there and doesn't know much about what happened in the family in recent years, so I also know the truth of this matter."

, Ning'er rushed to Your Majesty like that today, I hope Your Majesty will be merciful and strict, and forgive me for my guilt."

Zhao Chen's status as a scholar, his status as a relative of the emperor in the Rongguo Mansion, and the friends in front of him are all bad people to provoke.

Our blood is not even hot yet, and we are divorced from basic human emotions.

But if the prince behaves like this in front of everyone, it will inevitably chill the hearts of his subordinates.

I also knew about the prince’s subsequent recruitment of Zhao Chen, and I approved of it.

One is the young lady he is marrying.

When I saw the prince standing outside, he spoke for Tian Lan to explain and plead for mercy.

Thinking of this, everyone felt that the prince was a human king and worthy of leadership.

Even the emperor could not move his face for a moment and pondered for a while. In order to safeguard the justice of heaven and the emperor's face, and to set an example from heaven, Zhao Chen mentioned that matter today, so I could stand by and ignore it.

The prince's prestige was tangibly damaged in that kind of silence.

Although Zhao Chen's temper was disgusted by everyone, it also made everyone realize that Zhao Chen was a pure and filial son. He had sincere beliefs, was upright, and was a scholar who had truly received the true biography of the saint.

After all, it’s just that I’m willing to say it.

Because Zhao Chen filed a complaint during the imperial examination, the value of my body has been slightly reduced.

He thought deeply in his mind: Ning'er's decisive action must be because he was not completely sure before he suddenly launched an attack. If you were to side with Madam today, I'm afraid you would die miserably.

Zhao Ningwei did not pretend to be sober because that was the most correct choice.

At this moment, everyone seemed to realize why Zhao Chen was so powerful.

Now it is Zhao Chen who is in trouble. What if it was him last time?

On the contrary, the prince and others were thinking about how to handle the matter next.

Suddenly, the hearts of those following the prince became cold.

Compassion is to lead the army, righteousness is to do business, benevolence is to govern, kindness is to serve as an official, and emotion is to establish affairs.

We cannot take the initiative to give, but He can order us to give.

Even if I have to make a choice and choose either side, I will end up as an ungrateful person who is benevolent and righteous.

In official circles, people like that are allowed to exist.

The emperor glanced at the prince and felt slightly disappointed in him.

How can you make a choice when the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh?

For a moment, everyone looked at Zhao Chen with frowns, thinking in their hearts: "Is it really worth it? Gambling with your future, seeking so-called fairness, and really being sober."

There is no essential difference.

The emperor shook his head and said to Zhao Chen: "He doesn't have any evidence for this?"

The people next to him looked at Zhao Ning with warm smiles.

Perhaps, that matter has nothing to do with Zhao Chen's sincerity.

If Zhao Ning really knew about this, then I would be worthy of standing outside.

The latter will make the weak feel angry and resentful, and it is extremely difficult to cause trouble.

That is what the emperor and even weaklings from all walks of life like most.

But now whether the emperor has expressed his position or not, we dare to jump out and cause trouble. We can only wait and see the situation.

Yes, that's human nature.

The Eighth Prince and others felt uncomfortable, thinking that Zhao Chen was seeking his own death and would definitely add fuel to the flames.

If you are a pure and self-centered person, it is almost possible to become an official.

But now that Zhao Chen has filed a lawsuit against him, the prince is afraid that he will get into trouble, so he decisively abandons him. This move will certainly put him in trouble, but it is also an act of cherishing feathers.

Zhao Chen's loss did not imply any coercion.

Then Zhao Ning said that he knew about this, and he was obviously not lying with his eyes open.

How do we understand the truth of dying lips and cold teeth?

The emperor glanced at Zhao Chen, then moved his eyes away, fell under Zhao Chen's father Zhao Ning, and asked: "Tian Lan, you are Zhao Chen's father, does he know this?"

In the eyes of everyone, compared with power and wealth, the unjust death of his biological mother is worth mentioning.

For a moment, these people just looked at Zhao Ning enthusiastically. They could understand what this man was doing, but they were still full of disdain.
