Seeing that Liu Wei remained motionless, he assumed that Liu Wei also knew that the situation was dire and that stepping forward would not only be futile but would also backfire.

However, Liu Wei still stepped forward, facing the burning anger of the ministers in the court.

Inside the main hall, the ministers chattered amongst themselves, buzzing like flies.

Liu Wei sneered and ignored him.

"Your Majesty, ignore his nonsense!"

He Jin flicked his sleeve, silencing the other ministers. "The King of Yunzhong is on the frontier; how could he possibly understand matters of the court?"

"Moreover, he is also a prince, so he should avoid suspicion and refrain from discussing the matter of establishing an heir; otherwise, it would be treason!"

"He must avoid any appearance of impropriety regarding the matter of choosing an heir and refrain from making any unwarranted comments."

Yuan Shao chimed in, "He has some ulterior motive!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We have a report: King Yunzhong is not allowed to speak on the matter of establishing an heir."

The other ministers also agreed.

Seeing Liu Wei being interrogated by these ministers, Liu Hong became very anxious, worried that Liu Wei would not be able to handle the situation.

"Shut up, all of you! You're all chattering away, can't I even say a word?"

However, Liu Wei stood up and quickly walked to the center of the main hall.

He walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, exuding a powerful aura that sent chills down the spines of those who approached him.

His sharp gaze swept over everyone in the hall like a sword, and no one dared to meet his eyes!

"Since I am participating in the court discussion, why can't I speak?"

"I only said that the matter of establishing a crown prince should not be rushed, but I didn't expect it to cause such a commotion!"

"Our father is still alive, why are you in such a hurry? Do you intend to take his place immediately?"
