Listening to the "generous and outspoken speeches" of the ministers in the court, the prince's face became extremely gloomy.
She had already guessed that these people would take the opportunity to make things difficult for her, but she didn't expect that it would be like this.
No one in the entire court dared to stand up and speak for him.
This couldn't help but make her miss the time when Zhao Xiaole was still in power, there was always someone around to help her.
So no matter what, she must ensure Zhao Xiaole's safety!
"snort!"
A cold snort instantly silenced the entire court, and all fearful eyes were focused on the prince.
Is there anyone in the entire court who doesn't know that this most handsome man in the capital is not easy to mess with?
If he offends her, a beating on the spot would be considered a minor offense!
So now that she wants to speak, these people certainly don't dare to interrupt.
Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, the prince looked at Liu Bern and said: "The Prime Minister's concerns are indeed somewhat reasonable, but I believe that Deputy Captain Zhao will never dare to do such illegal things. Your Excellencies, you should think about how to send troops.
Rescue Chuzhou!"
"Haha, what the emperor said is wrong."
At this moment, the third prince stood up with a smile and said: "Who doesn't know that Zhao Xiaole was extremely mischievous when he was in the capital, and he did so many violations of law and discipline!"
"Before, the emperor's brother suppressed him, so he didn't dare to do anything extraordinary."
"But now that he is the deputy captain of Chuzhou, he can be said to be a frontier official. It is not unusual for him to do anything!"
The third prince smiled and bowed to the prince and said: "So I have a suggestion, which is to send an imperial envoy to Chuzhou to verify it."
"If the situation in Chuzhou is really as dangerous as reported, it would still be too late to send troops again!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding ministers nodded in agreement and said, "What the Third Highness said is true, and I think it is feasible!"
"Yes, I agree with His Highness the Third Highness's view."
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"..."
All the ministers expressed their support for the third prince.
He looked as if the third prince was the popular candidate for emperor.
The hands in the prince's sleeves were clenched tighter.
She understood that the third prince did not want to verify whether the Yan army's attack on Chuzhou was true. He just wanted to delay this time.
When Chuzhou City is destroyed, even if it is true that the Yan army attacked Chuzhou City, they can still punish Zhao Xiaole for the crime of abandoning the city, abandoning the land, and losing his teacher and humiliating the country!
"Your Highness, Chuzhou has sent troops to ask for an audience. He said that if your lords don't believe in the crisis in Chuzhou, he has something to offer!"
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly came in from outside the palace to report.
"Um?"
Liu Bern's expression changed and he shouted: "What nonsense? He, a small messenger, still wants to come up to the Jinluan Palace? Blast him out!"
"Haha, the Prime Minister is so powerful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice sounded in Liu Bern's ear.
Liu Bern's expression froze, but he still calmly turned around and bowed to the prince and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me. As prime minister, I have the duty to supervise all officials."
"Such Xiaoxiao actually wants to enter the Jinluan Temple. How dare I let him disturb His Highness?"
The prince looked at him coldly and said with a smile: "Haha, the Prime Minister is really loyal to the Lord! But I really want to see what this little soldier has brought to all the ministers.
Xuan Chuzhou soldiers enter the palace!"
"Yes! Xuanchuzhou sent troops to enter the palace!"
The eunuch immediately turned around and went down to report.
The third prince and Liu Bern immediately looked at each other and said nothing.
After all, the person above is still the prince and superintendent of the government on Jingyang Ming's side, and the two of them do not have the final say in the court, and it will not work if it is too obvious.
So they stood aside and watched quietly to see what Zhao Xiaole had brought.
Soon, a nervous messenger walked in from outside the hall holding a wooden box.
When he saw the civil and military ministers of the dynasty looking at him, his whole body tensed up instantly, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
Especially when he saw the prince wearing bright yellow court clothes next to the dragon chair, he was shocked and fell to his knees with a "pop".
"Little...little man, Liu...two...dogs...see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Ever since he was a child, Liu Ergou had never seen so many high-ranking officials.
Now seeing so many at once made him extremely nervous.
Especially after he said these words, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the court, his face turned red instantly, and his body became even more tense.
"Humph, be quiet!"
At this moment, a majestic voice sounded, and the laughter in the court suddenly stopped. Liu Ergou's heart suddenly calmed down.
"Keep your head up!"
The voice sounded above his head again.
Liu Ergou trembled all over, not daring to resist, and slowly raised his head.
When he saw that handsome and majestic face, his body shook even more violently and he buried his head on the ground.
A smile appeared on the prince's face, "I ask you, what is it that you want to present?"
Liu Ergou opened his mouth, then tremblingly raised the wooden box in his hand and said: "What I want to present is the blood evidence of our Lord Zhao's battle with three thousand Yan troops!"
"Pfft hahaha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of deep laughter in the Jinluan Palace, and the laughter was full of contempt and ridicule.
Someone seemed to be whispering on the side: "Who doesn't know that Zhao Xiaole is a well-known playboy in the whole capital, and he can also fight a bloody battle with three thousand enemy troops?"
Liu Ergou had a look of confusion on his face.
Mr. Zhao is a dandy? Are these people joking?
Liu Berne on the side even smiled sinisterly and said: "Haha, falsely claiming military merit is a capital crime, even Zhao Xiaole is no exception!"
Everyone held their breath for a moment, are they about to start an attack?
However, who could have imagined that as soon as he finished speaking, he would see Liu Ergou glaring at him, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you slander our Lord Zhao?!"
Liu Ergou said with a ferocious face: "Our Lord Zhao, in order to defend Jingyang, personally led us to charge against the enemy!"
"Do you know how many of us there were at that time?"
"Only a hundred people!"
He gritted his teeth and said: "But even so, Mr. Zhao was still not afraid. He rushed into the enemy army alone and killed the enemy captain with his own hands. This allowed us to win this victory!"
"
"I still remember that Mr. Zhao was covered in blood and had numerous wounds on his body at that time!"
"But he still didn't give up, and he still persisted in killing the enemy!"
"At least half of these three thousand enemy troops were killed by Mr. Zhao himself."
"And this is the evidence!"
Liu Ergou roared suddenly and opened the wooden box in his arms.
The one-foot-square wooden box was filled with densely packed and blood-stained ears.
