Chapter 364: Grandmother Loves Children

Zhaoming Palace.

The Supreme Emperor and Zong Zhengxi were seated in the East Hall, listening to the civil and military officials accusing Prime Minister Xun.

Zong Zhengxi's legs were already numb from sitting.

He never imagined that Prime Minister Xun carried such an overwhelming list of charges against him.

The ministers who once followed Prime Minister Xun unquestioningly were now desperately trying to save themselves, each sparing no effort in flinging insults, desperately hoping to tear Xun apart.

Zong Zhengxi had experienced so much, and he was no longer the naïve and gullible young Emperor he once was.

Even though he couldn't distinguish every truth from falsity, he could discern that many of the charges were fabricated.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall collapses, everyone pushes.

A senior statesman who had manipulated the court for decades was now betrayed by all in unison.
