Chapter 195 Ling'er, you need to speed up a bit

Xuan Ling'er really felt it was magical.

She also didn't expect that just after having an in-depth discussion about life with the young master, her cultivation could improve so quickly.

Especially the bottleneck of cultivation. If she practiced normally, she would usually be stuck at the peak level for a long time.

But when discussing life with the young master, the bottleneck in cultivation seemed to be non-existent.

Improving your cultivation is easier than drinking water.

"No, the young master has already reached the fifth level of the other shore realm, and I am still in the early stage of the wheel sea."

"No, no, I have to catch up!"

So, Xuan Ling'er unwillingly pulled Jun Lintian to practice dual cultivation.

She didn't even let Jun Lintian take the initiative, but she took the initiative herself and completely treated Jun Lintian as an accelerator to improve her cultivation.

Jun Lintian naturally rested his hands behind his head and watched Xuan Ling'er practicing dual cultivation.

I feel so happy.

This kind of life is even happier than that of a god.

Not only can you improve your cultivation, but you don’t have to work hard on your own.

Thinking of this, Jun Lintian couldn't help but tease Xuan Ling'er again: "Ling'er, you need to speed up a bit."

"Otherwise, the improvement in cultivation would not be so obvious."

Although Xuan Ling'er has the blessing of cultivation, her physical condition is quite good.

But when it comes to in-depth discussions about life, I still feel a little overwhelmed, but in order to improve my cultivation as quickly as possible.

She also obediently followed Jun Lintian's instructions and increased her speed.

Day two.

early morning.

Civil and military officials arrived at the Golden Palace early and waited. After all, there was no reason to let the emperor wait for them.

Of course, the officials at the morning court all had different expressions on their faces.

People like Luo Wenshan and Donghuang Taining were chatting calmly with the people around them, while those officials from poor families looked a little unhappy at the moment.

After all, they are now following the second prince.

But right now, the second prince was being impeached by civil servants throughout the court, and they were almost impeached together.

It can even be said that if the second prince could survive this disaster, the status of these officials from humble backgrounds would rise in the future.

But if the second prince cannot escape, there will be no place for officials from humble backgrounds like them to survive in the court.

Therefore, these officials from poor families couldn't help but feel a little worried.

I don’t know how the Second Prince and Minister Su are going to avoid this matter?

Many people's eyes also fell on the second prince who was standing in the front.

The Second Prince's facial expression could not be seen at this moment. He lowered his head expressionlessly, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Seeing his appearance, those officials from poor families were all sweating in their hearts.

After a while, Emperor Zhou appeared.

He looked refreshed as he strode to the dragon throne and sat down. He even had the leisure to ask the eunuch next to him to pour him a cup of tea.

After all, he stayed at Queen Zhou's place for several hours yesterday. Although he did not release his anger twice, his complexion looked much better.

He is old now, and it is normal for him to have some problems in that area, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong.

"My dear ministers, do you have anything to report today?" Emperor Zhou took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and glanced at the civil and military officials standing in the court.

Of course, his attention was focused on Su Yuanwu, the second prince, and Luo Wenshan.

After all, the civil officials’ collective impeachment of the second prince yesterday has not yet been concluded, and Luo Wenshan will definitely continue to hold on to it today.

as predicted.

At this moment, Luo Wenshan walked out of the queue and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I accuse the Second Prince of colluding with court officials and attempting to form cliques."

"Your Majesty, please punish the Second Prince to prevent this matter from getting worse!"

"Throughout the history of the world, no matter which dynasty, even the crown prince is not allowed to collude with officials. Moreover, the second prince has not yet become the crown prince."

"If the Second Prince continues like this, will the officials of the court listen to him or to your Majesty in the future?"

Luo Wenshan directly defined the matter, and he was also saying what Emperor Zhou was most worried about.

You know, Emperor Zhou couldn't even sit firmly on the throne.

If the second prince can win over more officials and gain greater status in the court in the future, wouldn't that force Emperor Zhou to abdicate?
I ask, could the Emperor Zhou bear this?
No emperor was willing to give up this supreme power.

It’s a pity that Luo Wenshan underestimated Emperor Zhou. At this moment, there was no other expression on Emperor Zhou’s face, but instead he looked calm.

"Well, Lord Luo is right, but I don't think this is a problem. I still have confidence in the Second Prince."

It doesn’t matter whether you have confidence or not.

What’s important is that Emperor Zhou believed that as long as he was still on the throne, the Second Prince would have no chance of usurping the throne.

If he can't even control one of his own sons, then he might as well not have the throne.

At this moment, Su Yuanwu secretly gave the second prince a look, and the latter nodded imperceptibly.

Immediately afterwards, the second prince also walked out of the queue.

He bowed to Luo Wenshan sincerely, and then apologized to all the ministers sincerely.

"Everyone, what happened before was indeed what this prince did wrong."

"This prince is here to apologize to you. As Prime Minister Luo said, no prince in history should form a clique for personal gain."

"But I think Prime Minister Luo must have misunderstood. I have absolutely no intention of forming a clique for personal gain, let alone usurping the throne."

When he said this, the second prince bowed to the civil officials again.

At this moment, his attitude became extremely sincere, and he even lowered his posture a lot.

"This prince knows that Prime Minister Luo is doing this for the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he has some prejudice and doubts about what this prince does."

"However, I can guarantee that my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just."

"This prince is not trying to form cliques, but to give these poor officials a chance."

The Second Prince turned his gaze towards Emperor Zhou again.

"Father, you are wise. Everything I do is for the Great Zhou royal family."

"The sage once said that we study and learn calligraphy for the benefit of the common people, but these representatives of the common people have no status or weight in the court."

“Is this what should be done?”

When Emperor Zhou saw that the Second Prince actually threw the question to him, he thought about it for a moment and then shook his head.

"Of course this shouldn't happen."

"Exactly!"

The second prince nodded again, and then said with great sorrow: "The officials in the court are all controlled by the aristocratic families. These officials from humble backgrounds don't even have the right to speak."

"Given the current structure of the imperial court, how can we allow the common people to live a good life?" (End of this chapter)
