Chapter 196: The Prince Thought He Won

"Good! Good! Good!"

Emperor Zhou said three good words in a row and looked at the second prince with a smile.

"That's a good point. I'm very pleased!"

He couldn't help but look at the second prince. This second son whom he had always looked down upon, now seemed not to be as useless as the legend said.

Still has some brains.

As for what he just said, if the eldest prince were to speak, he would definitely stumble and would not be able to speak as fluently as the second prince.

Especially the second prince’s acting skills are very good.

The sincerity was so touching that Emperor Zhou almost believed it.

Emperor Zhou couldn't help but glance at Su Yuanwu, who was standing silently in the crowd.

Su Yuanwu looked straight ahead at this moment, not even once looking at the Second Prince, and even had his hands behind his back, as if he had nothing to do with the matter.

But Emperor Zhou knew very well in his heart that the Second Prince was able to say such words and come up with such a method.

It must be Su Yuanwu who is giving him advice behind the scenes.

To be honest, Emperor Zhou even had some doubts about Su Yuanwu yesterday.

After all, at yesterday's morning court, Su Yuanwu had taken advantage of the second prince's misfortune.

But now it seems that Su Yuanwu is obviously very smart and can understand the situation. He is indeed a talented person.

And this moment.

The second prince's high-sounding words, coupled with his sincere apology, directly shut up the impeachment minister.

"This... The Second Prince is able to correct his mistakes, which is a great virtue."

The censor from the Censorate who had just stood up was about to agree with Luo Wenshan, but now he didn't know what to say.

He could only nod awkwardly, and after saying these words, he retreated back into the ranks of officials.

After all, the Second Prince is still a prince, and as ministers, they certainly cannot be too harsh on him.

You know, Emperor Zhou is still sitting on the dragon throne. They can't just point at the Second Prince and scold him, right?
What's the difference between that and courting death?
The other ministers who were preparing to impeach the second prince all looked at each other, completely confused.

Yesterday, the second prince was still yelling and it seemed like he was about to scold them, so why did he suddenly change his temper today?

Admit your mistake all of a sudden?

If the person they wanted to impeach was just an ordinary official, they could just continue to press on and remove the official's position.

But as a prince, the Second Prince has the blood of Emperor Zhou flowing in his body.

It is his innate advantage as a prince.

The official hat can be taken away, but the royal bloodline cannot be removed.

Therefore, these impeaching civil servants did not know what to do at this time, especially Donghuang Taining, who was even more anxious at the moment.

He couldn't help but think that if he missed this opportunity today, it would not be easy to impeach the second prince again.

However, he didn't know how to deal with it.

However, Donghuang Taining turned his head to look at his father and saw that Donghuang Wenshan was still calm with his eyes closed.

It was as if the whole thing in the court had nothing to do with him.

Donghuang Taining felt relieved. Since his father had no intention of saying anything, it proved that this matter was far from being as simple as he thought.

I think the young master of the Jun family should have a backup plan. After all, how could a figure like Jun Lintian let the second prince go easily?
Could it be that Prime Minister Luo is going to do something?
Donghuang Taining looked at Luo Wenshan again, but Luo Wenshan had returned to the ranks of civil servants at this time.

Obviously, Luo Wenshan had no intention of holding the second prince accountable.

Donghuang Taining saw this and became more convinced that the young master of the Jun family must have a backup plan. His mind gradually calmed down and he prepared to wait and see how the situation developed.

"Are there any other nobles who are planning to impeach the Second Prince?"

At this time, Emperor Zhou also glanced around at the many civil servants in the court.

At this moment, the censors of the Censorate couldn't help but look towards Donghuang Wenshan.

However, Donghuang Wenshan still had his eyes closed, as if he was resting.

The others also looked at Luo Wenshan, and seeing that neither of them had any intention of standing up at the moment, the other civil servants also looked at each other and kept silent.

Looking at the many silent civil servants in the court, Emperor Zhou felt quite refreshed.

This is the kind of official he wants, one who only speaks when he needs him to. Only then will he be an obedient official.

At this moment, the second prince once again bowed to the many civil officials.

"Mingyu has taken the ministers' impeachment to heart and will never make such a mistake again in the future."

"It's time for some fresh blood to enter the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

There was a hint of pride in the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.

These people want to fight with this prince?
What a foolish dream!

Emperor Zhou also made the final decision: "Well, since all of you no longer want to impeach the Second Prince, then let's end this matter here."

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. You should continue to work hard for the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Having said that, Emperor Zhou turned his gaze to the Second Prince once again.

There was a hint of relief in his eyes, and he said, "The Second Prince's idea is good, but it's a bit too radical."

"Since this is for the purpose of absorbing fresh blood for the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is nothing to hide about this matter. You can just speak out."

"Also, there are indeed fewer voices in the court, and I am a little unhappy about that."

At this moment, Emperor Zhou also followed the Second Prince's high-sounding words and began to flatter himself.

"The common people of the Great Zhou Dynasty still need some officials to speak for them."

"So I also want to open up the channels for people to express their opinions. These officials from humble backgrounds don't have to be timid in the court. They can just say whatever they want."

When the Second Prince heard these words, he could hardly suppress his excitement.

"My dear father, I thank you!"

"Father is truly a wise ruler for all ages!"

He flattered her silently again, and felt even more relieved.

With what Emperor Zhou said, the Second Prince’s confrontation with the aristocratic families this time ended with his complete victory!

And in the future he won't have to worry about so many things and can deal with these officials from poor families.

The second prince's status in the court will also rise!
When he thought of this, he almost laughed out loud.

All the officials from humble backgrounds in the hall turned to look at the Second Prince, their eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"The Second Prince is truly amazing. He was able to turn defeat into victory."

"Yes, in the future we can also give suggestions in the court and seek benefits for the people!"

“This is a turning point in our lives!”

These officials from poor families could not help but secretly think that under the siege of these powerful families, the Second Prince not only escaped safely, but also won the final victory.

He is simply the leader of these poor officials! (End of this chapter)
