Su Yuanwu said earnestly, "If I had spoken up for you in the hall at that time, I would have fallen into the trap of the person behind the scenes."

"Think about it carefully. Even if I didn't say anything at that time, your father would have forced me to express my opinion. Could I have pretended to be dead?"

"Under that situation, if I said a word on your behalf, I would be criticized by Luo Wenshan and others."

After thinking about this, Su Yuanwu actually felt a little scared.

He has been dormant in the court for so many years and has actually encountered a lot of trouble.

But no trouble was ever as serious as this one.

Su Yuanwu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then he continued: "Mingyu, you have to understand that you are a prince. These civil servants are so good at talking that they are tired of it."

"That's just putting pressure on your father, but if His Majesty Yao dies and doesn't punish you, what can these civil officials do?"

"But think about it carefully. My official position is only the Minister of Personnel. In terms of real power, I am not much different from the Prime Minister Luo Wenshan."

"But if they all point their spearheads at me, I will be skinned alive today. Can you save me then?"

When he said this, Su Yuanwu looked at the second prince with a meaningful look again.

The second prince has not learned enough yet and has not established a firm foothold in the court.

If I were really put in the Heavenly Prison, the Second Prince would probably not say a word.

"This……"

The second prince fell silent for a moment. He knew very well that with his current strength, he could not shake these civil servants at all.

At this moment, he finally understood the interests involved.

Although my uncle did this to protect himself, as long as he is still in the court, things will not become so complicated.

Even if I really end up in prison, maybe my uncle can get me out.

The second prince quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, uncle, I was wrong, I wrongly blamed you."

"If you admit your mistakes, it means you can still be saved." Su Yuanwu's expression eased a little.

However, when the second prince heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Is there still hope?

Is there really salvation?
Currently, he has been targeted by all the civil servants in the court, and even his father does not dare to protect him openly.

How can they escape from this dead end with just the two of them?

"uncle……"

The second prince looked quite worried, "Then how should we deal with this crisis next?"

"Now, whether it's Prime Minister Luo or Donghuang Yushi, they are openly targeting us!"

Judging from the current situation in the court, it can be said that Prime Minister Luo and the Donghuang family have occupied more than half of the country.

Even if he is the second prince, what can he do?
Even the eldest prince couldn’t keep his body intact!
Su Yuanwu shook his head and sighed: "Don't worry, there is still hope for this matter."

"From now on, you must strictly follow what I say, and then the consequences won't be too serious."

When the Second Prince heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy.

"Please explain clearly, uncle!"

Su Yuanwu pulled the second prince to the corner of the city wall nearby and then expressed his thoughts.

"At the court tomorrow morning, don't make excuses. Just confess your secret dealings with officials."

"what?"

When the second prince heard this, he was stunned.

Su Yuanwu frowned in dissatisfaction: "I haven't finished yet. Speaking also requires skills."

"Although it is a confession, you can't make it too serious and distort the facts at the same time."

"You have to make it clear that the officials you have won over are from humble backgrounds and have little influence in the court. They are not powerful officials, and your goal is to inject fresh blood into the power center of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Nowadays, the power center of the Great Zhou Dynasty is basically monopolized by the Donghuang family and Prime Minister Luo, except for the Zhou emperor's people. Other officials from poor families who have no connections have no chance of entering the power center.

Therefore, every time they discuss politics, it is more like they only listen to the suggestions of Donghuang's family and Prime Minister Luo rather than gathering ideas from all sides.

Others simply couldn't get a number.

Su Yuanwu thought about it and felt that this plan was foolproof.

He continued, "You can say so when the time comes, and I will help you explain it according to the circumstances, and His Majesty will follow this excuse to protect you."

"In this case, at most you will receive a reprimand from Emperor Zhou, and it will only be a formality for Luo Wenshan and his people to see."

After listening to Su Yuanwu's words, the second prince's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He deeply agreed with what his uncle said.

After all, the eldest prince is dead now, and he is the only eldest son and the legitimate eldest son!
The other princes were either too young or born out of wedlock, which could be said to be a gap in the succession.

He is the prince who has the greatest chance and the most ability to become the crown prince.

Therefore, my father will definitely continue to train me and take over his position in the future.

"Uncle, nephew understands!"

A smile finally appeared on the second prince's face.

All the grievances he suffered in the court today seemed to have been swept away.

As long as he can gain a foothold in the court, he will find a way to get rid of Luo Wenshan and the Donghuang family in the future.

The Second Prince frowned. As for Jun Lintian...

He couldn’t figure it out for the time being, so it seemed like he would have to get in touch with it again later.

Now that he had a reasonable solution, he naturally relaxed.

"I understand. Go back and prepare yourself. Think of your words carefully. Don't make any mistakes."

At this moment, Su Yuanwu patted the second prince on the shoulder and then gave him another reminder.

"You have to remember that Luo Wenshan and Donghuang Wenshan are both old foxes in the officialdom."

"If you say one wrong thing, they can accuse you of treason, so you have to be very careful."

The second prince nodded heavily.

"Nephew understands!"

Afterwards, he happily returned to his prince's palace.

------

At the same time, in the imperial study room.

Emperor Zhou sat behind the desk with a sullen face. The palace maid beside him brought him tea and was about to leave.

But Emperor Zhou slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Idiot!"

The palace maid was frightened and hurriedly crawled on the ground begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty...I know I was wrong..."

But Eunuch Li on the side understood that Emperor Zhou was angry with the Second Prince.

So he gently kicked the palace maid lying on the ground, signaling her to leave first.

Then, Eunuch Li consoled him, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to damage your health because of these things."

Emperor Zhou snorted coldly and said, "How can I not be angry?! For a prince to be so stupid as him, he is really stupid!"

"How could such a confidential letter be stolen by others?"

Eunuch Li hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, since the incident has already happened, it is useless for you to be angry with the Second Prince."

"Since Your Majesty is angry, why not go to the Queen's Palace to cool off?" (End of this chapter)
