Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 67: The court angrily rebukes all the ministers, who is the most loyal minister of the Great Zhou!

Chu Shizhao had never slept more soundly than he did now.

This made Yang Fang, who was guarding outside, marvel again and again. He had never seen a person who had angered the emperor sleep so soundly in the imperial prison.

"Your Highness, were you able to sleep so comfortably despite the sudden rain last night?" Yang Fang couldn't help but ask.

Speaking of which, Chu Shizhao's treatment is unique.

In order to ensure that no unexpected situations occurred, Emperor Yongjin asked Yang Fang to accompany Chu Shizhao for one night. Chu Shizhao slept comfortably, but Yang Fang was alert and sat up all night, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

"After several years, I'm finally able to integrate knowledge and action. I feel very happy." Chu Shizhao chuckled at Yang Fang.

Over the past decade or so, because Chu Shizhao was born into a royal family, he had to be careful about his every word and action. No matter what he did, people would watch him, so he became hesitant and cautious.

After integrating the memories of several simulations, Chu Shizhao suddenly realized that there are some things that you dare not do once, you will never dare to do in the future.

The hardest step is the first step.

Chu Shizhao knew that presenting the "Memorial on Public Security" was definitely the right thing to do, but whether he dared to do it, whether he dared to take the first step, was another matter.

It’s not difficult to understand the truth.

It is difficult to put truth into practice.

He slept soundly that night because Chu Shizhao crushed the wasted years and the indecisive self he was over the years.

Just give it a go and do it boldly.

Whether it is right or wrong, future generations will judge it after you die.

And Chu Shizhao may not necessarily die.

Yang Fang looked at the carefree and relaxed Chu Shizhao and felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to him.

"What is the unity of knowledge and action?" Yang Fang asked another question.

Chu Shizhao then realized that the cultural development of the Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet reached the level of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind did not exist here.

"There is action in knowledge, and there is knowledge in action." Chu Shizhao replied, "But the truth behind this is quite profound, and I can't explain it clearly in a short time."

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

Cao Wei lowered his head and gestured with his hand.

"Your Highness, please——"

Chu Shizhao raised his head and straightened his clothes.

The environment in this place was not good, so Chu Shizhao was covered in mud, but he didn't care about it.

He is ready for everything.

In his mind, Chu Shizhao had many impressions of the ministers under his father's command in the court, and he knew clearly the tricks played by many of them.

His father asked him to attend the court meeting and gave him such an opportunity. Naturally, he would not miss the chance to rebuke the ministers.

In addition to responding.

Chu Shizhao walked out and stood in front of Cao Wei and Yang Fang with a bold and confident square step.

It seemed as if the person in prison was not as open-minded as him.

The group walked out of the imperial prison. The sky outside was still dim. At this time, Cao Wei had already put on a solemn, submissive and humble look.

He said slowly: "Your Highness Prince Jin, His Majesty really loves you very much."

"When the time comes, admit your mistake and the matter will be over."

Cao Wei gave a reminder, and Yang Fang nodded in approval. In the hearts of both of them, there is only one sun in the world, and that is His Majesty Yongjin.

It is really hard to imagine what kind of person would be so stubborn as to confront Emperor Yongjin.

Cao Wei's tone was much softer than before, and naturally he was bowing to Chu Shizhao.

After all, the current situation is on Chu Shizhao's side.

When they arrived at the Dongzhou Gate, they actually had to take the Imperial Road. At this time, the sky was not as dark as before.

After entering from the Dongzhou Gate, Chu Shizhao had to wait at a side door. It was obvious that Emperor Yongjin wanted to discuss other matters at the court meeting. Cao Wei ordered two eunuchs to open the door.

In the palace, the most taboo thing is to make any noise that should not be made. The two young eunuchs gently lifted the door handle with both hands, and then moved it in little by little. Their careful and subtle movements allowed the two doors to be moved open without making any noise.

Emperor Yongjin was waiting inside.

He has already ordered someone to investigate.

Since Chu Shizhao left the palace and lived in the Prince of Jin's Mansion in Chang'an, his whereabouts every month have been recorded in a booklet.

Because Emperor Yongjin had expressly forbidden the princes to leave Chang'an, the farthest place Chu Shizhao had ever been to was outside the Nine Gates of Chang'an, where there were the most poor people in Chang'an.

Chu Shizhao did take actions to help the people.

However, over the years, apart from helping the common people, Chu Shizhao has not come into contact with any other unclean people.

But Emperor Yongjin still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, didn’t Chu Shizhao’s behavior make him appear incompetent?

If the situation is so bad right here under the emperor's feet, it's hard to imagine how bad the situation is in other places.

However, although Emperor Yongjin knew the truth and felt uncomfortable, he would not say it out loud. He also believed that the political situation in the country was related to his ministers.

As an emperor, can he handle all the affairs of the world every day?

It’s because these ministers are not worthy of being appointed.

"You'll have to take care of yourself during the court meeting later." Emperor Yongjin just said this, stood with his hands behind his back, and left the palace.

Do you want to take care of yourself?

If I, Chu Shizhao, really act on my own, compromise with those ministers, and beg for mercy from you, my father, I will end up in trouble.

Today, I will make your Great Zhou court flow like a river of blood!
In Chu Shizhao's mind, he knew the criminal records of all the officials in office during the reign of Emperor Yongjin.

This time they were all opened.

If I don’t entertain them, I’m not surnamed Chu.

Old man, you'd better not protect me in this life, and let me fend for myself in this life!!!
Cao Wei looked at Chu Shizhao who lowered his head, and saw Emperor Yongjin reminding him again. He thought that His Royal Highness Prince Jin was going to give in this time, so he immediately replied: "After today, Your Royal Highness should stay out of the spotlight and stop interfering in the affairs of the court."

"Being an idle prince is a good life."

In front of the Dongzhou gate, officials wearing the appropriate robes for officials of all levels had arrived one after another.

Compared with the diligence of Emperor Zhengguang, who maintained a morning court almost once a day, Emperor Yongjin, except in the early days of his reign, maintained a morning court once every three days. In the tenth year of Yongjin, he stopped attending morning courts and instead contacted officials privately to hold small court meetings.

Huan Sheng was only a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of War, a position at which he could come or not. The court would not force an official of this rank to attend the morning court.

Even if they come, they will stand relatively far away.

The rest of the ministers also took their seats one after another. Officials of the first and second ranks were all in the main hall, having close conversations with Emperor Yongjin.

Lu En closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He had roughly known the situation from what others said. Since Huan Sheng had nothing to do with the unclear congratulatory letter, it had nothing to do with him. So no matter what was said in the court, he would ignore it based on his seniority.

He will be returning home in glory soon, so it's better to have less trouble than more.

When Emperor Yongjin sat on the dragon throne with great dignity, the eunuch beside him delivered the message that today's morning court had already begun.

However, the first thing to talk about was the famine in the south and the news that the Huns in the north were invading the border again.

After half an hour of arguing with each other, we finally sorted out all the trivial matters.

"My dear ministers, do you know that my son recently submitted a memorial to me regarding the congratulatory memorial?"

"This memorial has sinister intentions—"

"I don't believe my son would treat his father like this, so I think someone secretly instigated this memorial."

"I am uneasy..." Emperor Yongjin spoke in a calm tone, but when he said the last sentence, he stretched out his voice and almost roared in the hall: "If you are a hero, then you dare to do it and admit it. What do you want to do by secretly alienating the father-son relationship between me and the fourth son?"

"What do you want!"

The hall was silent as if no one was there.

"Please invite Prince Jin into the palace..." Emperor Yongjin slowly calmed down his emotions and raised his hand.
