In the political hall.
At this moment, many officials were looking at each other. The development of today's morning meeting was really unexpected to them.
But in fact, their hearts were also full of shock.
It has only been a few days, but the young master of the Jun family is forcing Emperor Zhou to go to the palace again?
Last time, Emperor Zhou was forced to behead the eldest prince. What will the young master of the Jun family do this time?
Do you want to kill the second prince?
Is this the plan to wipe out the entire royal family?
You are really brave!
Only someone with such power as the young master of the Jun family would dare to force Emperor Zhou into the palace.
As for the generals in the main hall, they all exchanged glances at this moment.
There was only happiness in their eyes now.
Fortunately, they are all military generals and do not need to participate in the messy affairs of these civil servants.
Not to mention that they have always been in the Jun family's camp.
As long as they recognize the Jun family as the leader, then this kind of thing will not happen to them.
At this time, Luo Wenshan saw that Emperor Zhou on the dragon throne did not speak, so he took another step forward.
Today, he is going to turn the entire court upside down.
Since the second prince has been targeted by the young master of the Jun family, as the vanguard of the young master of the Jun family, he must beat this lost dog.
"Your Majesty!"
Luo Wenshan's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his face was even more serious: "I sincerely ask your Majesty to issue an edict and punish the second prince!"
"If this is the case, If the crime is not punished, other princes will follow suit in the future, and the court will become a mess!”
After saying that, he cast his cold gaze towards the second prince again.
The other civil servants also stepped forward at this moment.
“Your Majesty, I second the proposal!”
“The second prince’s move goes against the ancestral precepts and we cannot allow him to set this precedent!”
“That’s right, please come back. Your Majesty decrees! Punish the second prince!”
Emperor Zhou's face was quite ugly. With so many civil servants coming to force him to go to the palace, it was hard for him to deny what the second prince had done.
At this moment, his expression changed even more.
I couldn't help but secretly scold the second prince for being so stupid.
This kind of secret message for communicating with officials is so important, how could someone steal it?
At this moment, he couldn't help but think about how he wanted to focus on training the second prince before.
Now it seems that Zhou Mingyu is slightly better than Zhou Mingyuan this time, but in fact it is still difficult to hold a big position.
Emperor Zhou took a deep breath, and his face finally regained its composure.
“I understand what you mean, my beloved.”
“However, the second prince has just come into contact with court affairs and does not understand many rules. As a human being, it is inevitable to make mistakes. "
"What's more, the second prince's action did not cause too serious consequences. I think we still have to consider how to deal with the second prince first."
Even though he was very dissatisfied with the second prince, Emperor Zhou could never let Prime Minister Luo and Donghuang Wenshan step on his head like this.
After all, Emperor Zhou had previously ordered the beheading of the eldest prince, which had already caused him to lose face.
If he agrees directly now, where will he put his face as the emperor?
Is it possible that he should let these civil servants step on his head?
Wouldn’t that mean he became a puppet emperor who was ignored?
When he thought of this, Emperor Zhou couldn't help but look at the second prince with cold eyes, and he couldn't hide his anger in his heart.
If these secret messages had not been stolen, there would still be room for change in this matter.
But now, even if he is the emperor, he really can't help but can only delay.
Emperor Zhou sighed again. It is not scary to have hidden people around him. After all, these are the basic rules for the operation of the court. He himself knows very well that there are many officials around him who have hidden secrets, such as the Luo family, the Jun family, and the Donghuang family.
Many people have already been placed in the palace.
Of course, Emperor Zhou would not sit still and wait for death. He also planted hidden stakes in the homes of some important officials.
In the final analysis, the forces of these families and Emperor Zhou have been interpenetrating each other.
Everyone is going back and forth, each trying to find out what the other is doing to check and balance each other.
In this way, the balance of power in the court can be achieved.
After all, these officials wanted to protect themselves, and Emperor Zhou wanted to keep his throne, so this kind of thing was too common.
Throughout the ages, this has been true in every dynasty.
These people placed by the major families and the people placed by Emperor Zhou himself will make use of each other.
Even Emperor Zhou would take the initiative to hand over some unimportant things in order to achieve a true balance.
However, it would be extremely stupid to let these undercover men steal the information that could kill oneself.
"Father, son and minister... I have no intention of plotting to usurp the throne, let alone forming a party for personal gain."
The second prince could only explain crazily at this moment.
He didn’t want to be kicked out of office not long after he entered the court.
"Father, father, please don't listen to these people's slander, my son..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Zhou glared coldly at the second prince.
"It's embarrassing, you have no place to speak here!"
He was also increasingly disappointed with the second prince. The word "scheming to usurp the throne" could be said in the court. ?
You still don’t understand the truth that misfortunes come from your mouth?
Maybe later these civil servants will make a fuss about the term "scheming to usurp the throne!"
The second prince was so frightened by Emperor Zhou's tone that he shrank his neck and quickly lowered his head like a quail.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but cast his eyes towards Su Yuanwu, the Minister of Personnel who had never spoken.
The second prince already regarded his uncle Su Yuanwu as a life-saving straw.
Not to mention winning over and befriending these officials from poor families, this was Su Yuanwu's idea.
Now that this matter has been exposed, Su Yuanwu must find a way to deal with the aftermath, right?
Moreover, the second prince and the Su family now have a mutually prosperous and mutually destructive relationship. If Su Yuanwu does not help, he will have no help in the court in the future.
At this time, Emperor Zhou also gave Su Yuanwu a look.
"Other dears, do you have any other ideas? Let me tell you all."
This was a delaying tactic, and at the same time he threw the hot potato to Su Yuanwu.
After all, from the beginning, other civil servants were impeaching the second prince.
Only Su Yuanwu and his group did not speak, and he did not defend the second prince.
You must know that Su Yuanwu is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Among the only remaining officials who have not impeached the second prince, he is the only one with the greatest power and the most say.
Any other official who proposed it at random was not qualified.
Although Emperor Zhou did not name him by name.
But everyone in the political hall all looked at this scheming official who had been dormant until now.
If no one speaks for the second prince today, the second prince's fate will not be any better than that of the eldest prince.
So everyone also wants to see how Su Yuanwu can rescue the second prince from the desperate situation? (End of this chapter)
