Hu the Scholar continued, ”I think that capturing the Duke of Danbo to close the case is the most important matterI implore you to make the decision wisely”
…
…
It was silent in the hall for a long tier repeated to Hu the Scholar three times with an ashen expression, ”Fine! Fine! Fine! How dare you, Sha Hu!”
Sha Hu was a nickna his righteous and clear heartAlthough the situation in the hall was very dangerous, this scholar had suddenly spoke outIn front of the eer and the Crown Prince, he refused to back downEach word pierced straight into a subject they wished to avoid
The ehtly and filled with a cold lightThe Crown Prince's expression remained as calm as usualHis eyes swept doard
The Crown Prince had his own trusted aides in courtBecause of the Eldest Princess'stime between the Crown Prince and the Second PrinceAt a time such as today, they stood out bravely
The Minister of Appointazed at Hu the Scholar and coldly said, ”Earlier, the eave the order to strip Fan Xian's dukedom and wipe out the Fan familyYet, you continue to refer to him as the Duke of DanboIs this not too inappropriateFan Xian has coreat crime of rebellionYou scholars repeatedly dispute it on his behalfI wonder if there is some untold secret behind all this”
Shu Wu was at the doorHe looked with surprise and appreciation at Hu the Scholar kneeling below the dragon chair
Hu the Scholar did not even look at the Minister and disdainfully said, ”I ado scholar in the Hall of Govern national matters by imperial decreeIf the Emperor has left a posthumous edict, I want to see itWhy could that not be shared?”
The three Princes below the dragon chair each had their own complicated erandht to hi the chair, you must walk an open and public pathNo wonder there was so much troubleThe Great Prince's expression was sole out whether or not the posthuht up by the two scholars was real or not
Only the youngest Third Prince had his head slightly lowered and could feel a fir from outside his calf and a chill in his heartHe wondered what he should do if a large nued in laterOf course, the Crown Prince would not be allowed to kill all of these officials
The Crown Prince stood high beside the dragon chair and looked coldly at Hu the Scholar kneeling belowHe felt very conflictedHe thought to hidom had two armsOther than the military, the civil officials would always their own brainThis brain was so the Emperor had allowed the endless trouble for the Crown Prince's ascension
”Both scholars have stood out…” The Crown Prince gave a light and h in his heart”You are an official but make false claims about a posthuh”
After these words were spoken, more eunuchs came forward and held onto each side of Hu the ScholarImmediately, an atmosphere of terror filled Taiji PalaceTwo of the scholars of the Hall of Govern the throneThey were going to be captured and thrown in jail
When was the last tidom history? No official could remember, but they knew that as these two scholars were leaders a the civil officialsIf the Crown Prince could not subdue them publicly, then he could only use this violent method to suppress itIn the end, it would cause many problems
Problems to the heart of the court
The immediate problem was demonstrated when Hu the Scholar was escorted out of the PalaceWhen Hu the Scholar and Shu the Scholar stood at the Palace doors and smiled at each other, the officials inside the hall, who had been standing silently for a long time, all knelt doith a swish
…
…
”Please, reconsider, eerPlease, reconsider, Crown Prince”
Half of the civil officials had knelt down in an instant and cried out in a uniforer a plea for mercy for the two scholarsThis was a derandson on the dragon chairThis was telling the Li fa court, it was not just the two scholars ere not afraid of deathThere were ed to the Eldest Princess' faction and military leaders, who had stood in silence, looked at this scene and were involuntarily movedThey didn't understand what these civil officials kneeling on the floor were thinkingWhat exactly did they want? Did they really want to forgive Fan Xian for his cri? Other than theirthe black er felt her head grow dizzy and couldn't stand steadilyThe Crown Prince was finally hard pressed to maintain his calht that a posthumous edict, which had not even appeared in front of these people, would bring such a crisis to the ascension ceremony
Were there really people in this world ere not afraid of death? There shouldn't have beenIf the civil officials were all so open and public and were not officials that were afraid of death, then what use did the Qing Kingdohts were distractedHe didn't understand why so many people opposed himIt was usually co below him were ic on the accuan to spread throughout his headHe thought to himself, Fan Xian, it looks like I still underestier, who had already sat back in her chair, viciously cursed out a person's naap of her lips in a low voiceOnly then did this remind the Crown Prince that it was impossible for Fan Xian to create the scenario in front of hi their admonishments
Only now did the Crown Prince think that, everyone, including his aunt, seeled with this person for a dozen yearsThe EdouHe had lived quietly for reat power in court and countless disciples as the last Pridom: Li Rufu
