Chapter 581 The Young Prince’s Debate with the Scholars (1 update)

Feeling the impulse of the ministers to retreat, and a few of them secretly wanting to change the prince, the young prince was very satisfied.

That’s it.

The emperor doesn’t work hard, doesn’t behave like a human being, and obviously doesn’t like him, but still wants to use him, the legitimate son, to stabilize the court, making him the obvious target. The emperor’s

brothers are not strong enough. Obviously, each of them is so outstanding and has the talent to save the world, but none of them is willing to take on the honor and responsibility of the prince.

There is still no sign of the little nephew, and I don’t know if the emperor has worked hard in the more than two months since he left. After the court session, I will go to see the emperor’s grandmother and find out if there is any good news in the harem.

However, we can’t put all our hopes on the emperor, after all, the emperor is old.

This group of ministers still has a higher chance of success. It is said that there is strength in numbers. The majority of the Manchus are from aristocratic families, and there are also some from humble backgrounds, but their influence is not obvious.

If they unite and want to force the emperor to change a crown prince, they can still have hope if they try hard.

The new strategy of the little prince to get rid of the crown prince is, first, to wait for the birth of his nephews; second, to trouble these ministers as much as possible, preferably to make them afraid and force them to take the initiative to work hard to depose the crown prince.

Two-pronged approach!

There will definitely be good news!

The little prince clenched his fist with one hand behind his back to cheer himself up.

After deciding on the strategy, the little prince felt that he could work harder to show that he was not easy to mess with.

"Master Lu, I heard that during my disaster relief work, the memorials you wrote impeaching me almost filled up my father's case. Come on, tell me what you are dissatisfied with me. I am listening."

Lu Liang's mouth twitched. What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Can you do what a crown prince should do?

Why do you always stare at him, a historian?

Before Lu Liang could finish his complaints, he heard the young prince look at the other ministers in a good mood, "The same goes for all the adults."

"Although I am far away in Jiangnan, I have to treat the people suffering from the epidemic, worry about the food problems of tens of thousands of people, beware of the Red Lotus Sect taking advantage of the chaos, and deal with the wealthy merchants. It was not easy to control the flood in Jiangnan, and then I hurried to Shandong. Along the way, I encountered bandits and assassinations, and was seriously injured several times. I wandered in the Yanwang Palace, I finally managed to save my life—"

The little prince took a deep breath and continued, "However, if any ministers are dissatisfied with my trip, you can raise it."

The Golden Throne Hall was silent again. This time, even the heads of the civil and military ministers standing at the top could not hide the urge to curse. Now

that you have said so, what else do these ministers dare to say?

The prince worked so hard to provide disaster relief, and was assassinated. He experienced life and death and almost lost his life. Now that the mission has been completed, who dares to say anything?

What can they say?

Do they want to die?

The ministers in the Golden Throne Hall were like swallowing flies. The feeling of being unable to speak was really too aggrieved.

Who would have known that at this moment, the little prince said again, "Don't you all have complaints about what I did?"

"My father is busy with government affairs all day, and you all have to write some memorials to impeach me to increase my father's workload. I advise you to do less of this kind of thing in the future. I prefer face-to-face confrontation."

The little prince smiled, "Come on, I'm listening, aren't you all good at writing memorials?"

Some ministers who had impeached the prince before lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the prince.

This man is too strong in fighting, and he doesn't play by the rules. Even someone as eloquent as Lu Liang was defeated by him. Let's forget about them.

How come there is no one who can fight?

The young prince frowned. Did he have too high hopes for these ministers? Are

they so useless?

The young prince decided to give them a push. The potential of officials is unlimited. As long as they are willing to push them, there may be unexpected results.

Thinking of this, the young prince smiled, "Didn't you write memorials very fluently before? Why is it that now that I ask you to speak, you can't say a word?"

"In this case, I believe you have no other opinions on my disaster relief trip this time."

“My fellow ministers should understand that I was penniless and had to provide disaster relief in such a harsh environment. In order to prevent the people from starving to death or dying of disease, I took some special measures. You should all understand and empathize with me.”

The young prince looked around at everyone. “If my fellow ministers don’t say anything now, then there will be no way to discuss these things in the future. Don’t secretly submit memorials to my father. It’s too late!”

When everyone heard this, some ministers could no longer sit still, especially Lu Liang, who had been submitting memorials to impeach the prince.

He took a step forward fearlessly, his voice slightly raised, sonorous and powerful, "Your Highness, even if it is for disaster relief, Your Highness should not collude with the Red Lotus Sect, rob the grain warehouses of the noble families, and burn and plunder the noble families. The people of the noble families are also the people of Daliang!"

The little prince put away his smile, turned around and stood face to face with Lu Liang. When he mentioned the four noble families, he couldn't help but burst out with anger in his heart. In an instant, the people around him felt a strong intimidation.

And Lu Liang, who was facing him, felt a suffocating sense of oppression that was several times more than that of others.

"Lord Lu, you are putting such a big accusation on me! You said I colluded with the Red Lotus Sect. Do you have any evidence? If you do, I can confront you face to face. Father is above, and all the civil and military officials are here. If it is proved that I did collude with the Red Lotus Sect, I will depose the position of Crown Prince!" The civil and military officials of

the whole court were in a panic.

This is a big deal!

This Lu Liang is really capable. He was able to force the Crown Prince to make such a promise. If there is really ironclad evidence, Daliang will be in trouble!

Unfortunately, Lu Liang is a historian and a censor. He has the same problems as all censors.

There is naturally no evidence. He just heard a lot of rumors and made a lot of guesses.

Lu Liang's words are still sharp. Standing opposite the Crown Prince, facing his scrutiny, he is still neither humble nor arrogant.

"How can there be smoke without fire? The news that Your Highness colluded with the Red Lotus Sect has spread among the people, and some scholars have even written articles criticizing this matter. If Your Highness really didn't do it, how could it have caused such a big reaction?"

The little prince smiled, and walked towards Lu Liang step by step, "I heard that Lord Lu took a vacation last month, and moved into a large mansion with four entrances, and also bought a farm in the suburbs of Beijing."

"Someone has seen the Yang family, the leader of the four major families in Jiangnan, talking to Lord Lu very happily, and they also gave Lord Lu three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry." "

It seems that Lord Lu is targeting me in the court because he was instructed by the Yang family."
