"It is precisely because the loyal prince practiced Taoism and wantonly robbed the only chance to seek immortality, and His Majesty was particularly tolerant and preferential to the loyal prince, that the king of Chu mistakenly believed that His Majesty was old and could no longer wield a sword, so he dared to rebel. Otherwise, in the past, even if the king of Chu had a hundred courages, he would not dare to rebel."

Yu Zhaoan's reason sounded very absurd at first, so absurd that it made people laugh.

But if you think about it carefully, why did the king of Chu have the courage to insult the old emperor and why did he have the courage to rebel at this time? Naturally, it was because of the various chaos brought about by the abolition of the prince that gave the other party confidence.

In the past, the impression of the king of Chu in the court was that he was an honest and decent person, who had no ability and would not harm the people. Such a prince of the royal family meets the requirements of the court and makes people feel at ease.

It happened that this honest man, if he didn't show his power, would just start a rebellion and sweep across the entire south. The rich land in the south will fall into the hands of the other party. With more money and food, more soldiers can be raised. With more soldiers, more territory can be occupied.

The imperial army was defeated.

At present, only the army led by Chen Guanfu still had the strength to fight, defending the city and not leading the troops to surrender.

The Chen family is loyal!

The father and son, one in the north and the other in the south, resisted the rebels for the imperial court and prevented the rebels from entering the imperial court to cause trouble.

The north and the south were both rebelling, why did the court officials still have the mind to quarrel and kill Zhaoan first regardless of the consequences? Naturally, it was because Dagan had a vast territory, rich products and a large population. The little thieves and little troubles in the north and south could not shake the foundation of the imperial court.

The court officials were so confident.

"Ridiculous!"

Never mind whether Yu Zhaoan made sense or not, it was right to rebel against him.

"Prime Minister Yu's ability to make a far-fetched argument is truly astonishing."

"If Prime Minister Yu can't think of a way to suppress the bandits, just shut up. Why must he embarrass himself and make people laugh?"

"The Jixia Academy has failed by educating someone like you."

"I am ashamed to be your schoolmate and classmate."

Yu Zhaoan smiled coldly, "How smart is it to discuss military and national affairs based on personal grudges? You can oppose me, but you cannot deny that the King of Chu dared to rebel because of the effective example set by His Royal Highness the Prince of Loyalty. Your Majesty, please issue an order to severely punish the Prince of Loyalty, imprison him, destroy the Taoist temple in the palace, and drive out all the Taoists. In addition, , issued an order to let Chen Guanfu lead the southern troops, give him the right to control the troops of several southern provinces, and let him quickly organize troops to resist the King of Chu, and he must resist them in the south of the lake. "

"You can let Chen Guanfu lead the southern troops. But how innocent is the King of Zhong in this matter. Your Majesty, please don't implicate innocent people!"

"Since the abolition of the crown prince, the King of Zhong has always abided by his duties and has not made any mistakes. Please don't pursue it for the sake of the King of Zhong's loyalty and filial piety."

"You can destroy his Taoist temple and drive away the Taoist priests. Please don't believe the words of the villain Yu Xiang, it's better to be close to the pain and the enemy to be happy."

The ministers made suggestions one after another.

Everyone present was smart, and maybe they didn't think so deeply, but from the old emperor's eyes, they could guess that the old emperor really wanted to kill His Royal Highness the King of Zhong because of Yu Zhaoan's instigation. The ministers were panicked and pleaded for mercy.

How innocent is the King of Zhong!

He didn't do anything, but he took the blame.

All of this was Yu Zhaoan's fault.

Jiang Tu would never plead for Prince Zhong, he wished that Prince Zhong would die. When Prince Zhong was the crown prince, they didn't get along.

However, all the ministers were pleading for mercy. If he didn't plead for mercy, wouldn't he appear too cold and ruthless? Too eccentric? He remembered that the last time he wanted to share the worries of the old emperor, the old emperor almost killed him. Fortunately, he ran fast.

What if...

Jiang Tu was very confused at this moment. He suddenly found that he couldn't guess the old emperor's mind. He felt very scared and panicked in his heart. What should I do? What should I do?

The old emperor's eyes were gloomy. Was he directed at the court officials or Prince Zhong?

I couldn't see through it!

"We'll talk about the matter of the loyal prince later. Chen Guanfu is too young and lacks prestige to control the troops of several provinces. We need to select other capable generals. My dear ministers, do you have any candidates?"

The troops in the north and south are in the hands of the Chen family father and son. It's chilling to think about it.

The old emperor would never make such a mistake.

He glanced at Yu Zhaoan. Did Yu Zhaoan not think of this, or did he do it on purpose?

Yu Zhaoan buried his head and was quiet at this moment. He didn't argue with the ministers. It seems that the purpose of today's small court meeting has been achieved.

After discussing and discussing, a veteran general in the court was finally selected to lead the troops to the south. Chen Guanfu was the deputy general. Before the old general arrived, he was responsible for gathering troops, raising food and grass, and blocking the army of the King of Chu.

The ministers walked out of the Taiji Palace. Several young ministers surrounded Li Liangcheng and muttered and cursed Yu Zhaoan.

"Prime Minister Li, Yu Zhaoan is a rat shit, don't tolerate him!"

"He sacrificed Prince Zhong for no reason, it's clear that he has evil intentions."

"I think he is clearly trying to speak up for His Royal Highness Prince Jin. Compared with Prince Zhong, Prince Jin is not even worthy of carrying shoes."

"As long as Prime Minister Li gives the order, we will risk our lives to bring down Yu Zhaoan. We will never tolerate this traitor continuing to harm the government."

"A traitor should be killed by everyone. Yu Zhaoan is no longer the Yu Zhaoan of the past. He is now the biggest traitor in the court. We must kill him at all costs."

"What's the point of fighting for your life? It's nonsense for each of you." Li Liangcheng coughed several times, "If you don't do your job, you just want to work hard. Look at you, do you look like an official of the imperial court? Don't just look at things in front of you, look at things with your eyes. In the future, what you see and hear may not be true. There is no harm in thinking more about its meaning."

After that, Li Liangcheng left with a puff of sleeves.

What a bunch of idiots!

Several ministers looked at each other, not knowing why.

"What does Mr. Li mean? Why don't I understand?"

"Li Xiang seems to be defending Yu Zhaoan."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Stop talking nonsense and messing with my mind."

"Have you ever thought about why Yu Zhaoan suddenly targeted His Highness Prince Zhong without any injustice or enmity?"

"Why don't you have any grudge? Yu Zhaoan and King Jin are brothers."

"What about brothers? The two of them didn't have much contact before, and they have lost contact since Yu Zhaoan was released from prison. I don't believe that Yu Zhaoan is doing things for King Jin. What happened today is very important to King Jin. But it’s no good, it might even implicate His Highness Prince Jin.”

The ministers couldn't figure it out, everyone had their own opinions, and no one could convince the other, so they simply broke up.

Bang bang bang...

In Prince Jin's Mansion, there were bursts of breaking sounds from the study room, which was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to enter.

His Highness Prince Jin was so furious that he smashed the study room and made a mess everywhere.

"Yu Zhaoan deserves to die! He is clearly trying to frame me. What is the grudge? Why would he hurt me like this? Is this king not good enough to him? Is he still holding grudges about being interrogated by the Jin Yiwei?"
