Chapter 2523
Mr. Zheng felt that he had done nothing wrong. Over the years, he had lived in self-blame every day. He felt that his official name was not right, and his sitting was very unstable.

Now that he finally had the courage to tell the truth in front of the emperor, how to deal with it all depended on the emperor's words. On the contrary, he felt that the burden in his heart was instantly dissipated.

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, Master Zheng also waited patiently, he was even ready to face the death penalty, but if that was the case, then his family, he could only say, I'm sorry.

"Zheng Aiqing, get up and talk."

"Criminals dare not stand up."

"I told you to get up, you get up."

Mr. Zheng hesitated for a moment, but he still got up: "Your Majesty, the criminal made such a big mistake. Please judge the crime according to the law. No matter what the result is, the criminal will accept it. The criminal only asks the emperor to let the criminal's family members go. I didn't know about it, and I only found out about it later, and I have always been like a guilty minister, with a burden in my heart."

"I've known about this for a long time."

Lord Zheng's eyes widened in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you know?"

"That's right, I know, I have read that roster, and the first page is your name, Zheng Wei. I was very disappointed at the time, but after thinking about it, you are indeed a talented person. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and I didn't want to pursue you, let alone, you admitted it voluntarily."

"The emperor just now?"

"That's right, I did it on purpose, I just want to see, if I tell you, I don't know the contents of the roster at all, will you still confess your affairs to me, if not, I will never I will reuse you again, and if I do, I will make up my mind and act as if nothing happened."

Mr. Zheng knelt down to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, you are magnanimous now, and you are truly guilty. You have no face to face the Emperor."

"Zheng Aiqing, you are not the only one named on the roster, but you are the only one who came to me to confess. You should be clear that this is not a good thing for you. You even have to bear the punishment I punished you, and you still Choose to be honest, this is your honesty to me, besides, it was not you who bought the official back then, right?"

Mr. Zheng sighed helplessly: "I really can't hide anything from the emperor. It turns out that the emperor has known it for a long time. Yes, they were not the officials bought by the criminals back then, but they are the parents of the criminals. Now they are all gone west. The guilty ministers are here to bear their faults, the emperor is benevolent, and he did not care about the criminal ministers."

"Zheng Aiqing, everything has a cause and effect. Because you confessed, I don't care about you. Similarly, because you didn't do anything for the prince, I gave you this chance to start again. Now you buy an official. If you write it off, from now on, you will be an upright Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and no one can influence you, remember, no one can!"

"Yes, the guilty minister understands."

"Zheng Aiqing, it is said that it has been written off. How about paying off the guilty minister?"

Mr. Zheng laughed easily: "The emperor is right. The emperor's kindness will never be forgotten by me. From now on, I will not be timid. I will do my best to serve the emperor and the Mu Dynasty!"

The emperor laughed loudly: "Very well, with Zheng Aiqing's words, I feel that I have forgiven you, and I have done nothing wrong."

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to say. In short, I will always be loyal to the Emperor."

It was worthwhile for the emperor to do so. Now that the court is divided into two factions, there are not many people who really only work for him.
