Chapter 1961 Looking for a scapegoat

The crown prince and Mr. Chen had a very happy conversation, and Mr. Chen never thought about how he was brought here just now with the prince.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the prince has evidence that he can be dragged and beheaded immediately. If he wants to live, he has no second choice.

Mr. Chen is well aware that his life is now in the hands of the crown prince. He can only survive if he is completely on his side. Although he already feels that he has earned enough money and wants to calm down, if he dies, What is the use of the money earned before?

"His Royal Highness, the emperor knows about the dismissal, right?"

"That's right, it was my father who asked me to investigate this matter." The prince chuckled softly, "Is Mr. Chen very worried now, how should I explain to my father so that my father can trust me?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Your Majesty is suspicious by nature. Since His Majesty asked His Majesty to find out this matter, it means that half of your Majesty's heart is convinced that this matter is indeed the work of your Majesty. Then, Your Majesty If there is one sentence that is not perfect, the emperor will not let the lower officials go, and maybe even His Highness will be implicated."

"Well, what you said is quite right. I really need to make a careful calculation of this matter, so next, Mr. Chen must fully cooperate with me, and there should be no mistakes."

"Your Highness, just give your orders, and I will definitely obey!"

"First of all, Mr. Chen has a very good image on weekdays. I heard that your wife regularly gives porridge at the gate of the temple, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, Madam is kind-hearted. I have been doing porridge for many years. I am not afraid of His Highness's jokes when I say it. I used to be an official who was honest and upright, but the salary given by the court is not enough to support a large family. , so I have no choice but to take this road.”

"Master Chen, I understand all these things, but there is one thing, does Master Chen want to see this matter through to the end?"

"Your Highness, I definitely don't think like this. In fact, I have become a lot weaker recently. I don't want to do this kind of thing anymore. Maybe it's because of this that the people under my command who want to get rich are dissatisfied. I just wrote a memorial to sue the next official."

"Well, it's not impossible."

"Your Highness, I have lived most of my life as an official, and now I just want to be happy with my family. I really don't have many other ideas."

"With Mr. Chen's words, I feel at ease. Mr. Chen should also understand that I don't want the future Mu Dynasty and those court officials to get their official positions through this method."

"Yes, I understand." Master Chen asked hesitantly: "Then Your Highness, what will I do next?"

The prince raised his eyebrows: "Master Chen, don't worry, there is still a lot of time limit given by the emperor, which is enough for us to arrange everything properly. First, Lord Chen must find out those who are not willing to continue to follow Lord Chen. Make a list for this palace, and then this palace will naturally find a way to put the crime on these people."

"Your Highness, is this... feasible?"

"Master Chen, do you believe in Bengong?"

"Of course not. How could the lower official not believe His Highness? It's just that the lower official thinks, isn't this too risky? What if they reveal everything?"

"That's because they jumped the wall to frame you. Besides, now that all the evidence is in my hands, even if they tell the whole story, without evidence, who would believe them?"
