In the court, the Sizhou troops surrounded the ministers.

The unexpected scene made the ministers panic.

The fourth prince Chu Ying had an even gloomier face, knowing that he had been fooled.

The prince was waiting for him to mention the position of Grand Censor so that he could take the position at once.

I had planned everything, but I never expected that the prince would actually send out troops.

Chu Ying stared at the prince in front of him, clenched his hands tightly, and shouted angrily: "Prince, you mobilized troops to the palace, isn't this a rebellion or something?"

In order to calm the situation, Chu Ying could only threaten the prince with treason.

Treason is a serious crime. He believed that the prince was not ready and could not rebel at this time.

If this hat is put on, the prince will retreat in fear.

But the prince laughed out loud when he heard this: "Hahahaha, fourth brother, what are you talking about? When did I ever say I wanted to rebel?

It was you who said that the minority should obey the majority. Now that I have called people here, you think I am plotting a rebellion.

You have the mouth on your body, so you can say whatever you want. Humph, now I want to tell you that I will definitely get the position of Imperial Censor."

After he finished speaking, the prince swung his sleeves and said loudly: "My Lords, I agree with what my fourth brother said. The minority should obey the majority. Then please take a look, who has the most people?"

The scene was completely silent, and none of the ministers dared to speak.

The soldiers of Sizhou were standing by with spears in hand, watching closely. If they objected, they would probably be killed as an example to others.

No one who can serve as an official in the court is a fool.

But the people from the prince's faction suddenly stood up at this moment and spoke in agreement:

"Since His Highness the Fourth Prince wants the minority to obey the majority, then naturally His Highness the Crown Prince will win!"

"The position of Imperial Censor is of great importance. Lord Liu is too young and has only been in the court for a short time. I'm afraid he is not up to the task."

"Yes, it would be better if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince concurrently assumed the position of Imperial Censor."

"Your Highness, now that things have come to this, let Your Highness the Crown Prince serve as the Imperial Censor."

Everyone's words made Chu Ying's already gloomy face even gloomier.

The prince's move caught him off guard and he had no good plan to deal with it.

If he delays any further and angers the prince, he will probably suffer today.

Although the prince would not kill him, it is possible that he would take action against the ministers under him.

Thinking of this, Chu Ying's eyes turned cold and he shouted angrily: "Enough!"

"The position of Imperial Censor is of great importance. Since my brother the Crown Prince and I disagree, why not let the matter be handled by my father?"

It was impossible to give this position to the crown prince, so he had to find a way to delay it.

But the prince sneered when he heard this.

He even mobilized troops from Sizhou, so how could he let Chu Ying delay time?

"Fourth brother!"

The prince said calmly: "You also know that the position of the Imperial Censor is of great importance. It is responsible for supervising all officials and cannot be delayed for a moment.

If I report this to my father, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. How about this? Before my father issues his decree, I will serve as the acting Imperial Censor."

The Fourth Prince wanted to delay, how could the Crown Prince agree?

Today, no matter what, he must get the position of Imperial Censor.

Chu Ying sensed the prince's determination. Although he wanted to refuse, he was in a dilemma when he saw the group of Sizhou soldiers holding weapons in the hall.

On the one hand, he didn't want the Crown Prince to arrest the Grand Censor, but on the other hand, he was worried that the Crown Prince would take the opportunity to arrest him and his officials.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ying narrowed his eyes and looked up at the prime minister, the grand tutor and others who were neutral.

"Grandmaster, Prime Minister, you two are the people that the emperor trusts the most. What do you think about this matter?"

If you can't decide for yourself, then pass the blame to others.

Even if the emperor blames him, there are others to share the responsibility.

The Grand Tutor's mouth twitched, and he stood up with reluctance, and replied: "Your Highness, the Imperial Censor is in charge of the Imperial Censorate and supervises all officials. This is of great importance and cannot be decided lightly.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. The post of the Grand Censor cannot be left vacant, so it is not a bad idea for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to act as the acting Chief Censor temporarily.

As for the final decision, please discuss it with the Crown Prince and His Highness the Fourth Prince."

It is impossible to drag him into the water, he will never get involved in party disputes.

Chu Ying snorted coldly.

It's the same as saying nothing.

He looked at the Prime Minister and continued to ask: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Yang Wende sighed and said, "Your Highness, this is a major matter that I, an old minister, cannot decide."

"I think what the Grand Master said makes sense. I would like to ask Your Highness the Fourth Prince to discuss this with the Crown Prince."

Since the correct answer was already in front of him, Yang Wende of course had to copy it.

Chu Ying snorted coldly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Although he has the support of many ministers in the court, he does not have much military power. Now he is besieged here by the prince and his men. How can he discuss things with the prince?

There was nothing he could do except do what the prince said.

The frustration in his heart made Chu Ying clench his hands tightly and say nothing.

The prince was very proud when he saw this.

Fourth brother, you are still too naive to fight with me!

"Fourth brother!"

The prince suddenly spoke up and chuckled, "The Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister asked us to discuss this. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Chu Ying took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that he had to stay calm now, otherwise the prince would take the initiative.

Although he was extremely angry, he still said in a deep voice: "Brother Crown Prince, I cannot make a decision on this matter. If you insist on doing it your own way, I cannot stop you.

But if the emperor blames you for this, please don't put the blame on me, Prince."

After saying that, Chu Ying ran straight out of the hall.

But the Sizhou soldiers in the palace would not let Chu Ying leave without the prince's permission, so they blocked Chu Ying's way with spears in hand.

Chu Ying snorted coldly and turned to look at the prince: "Why, Prince, do you still want to kill me?"

The prince laughed: "Fourth brother, you are joking. How could I kill you?"

"However, regarding the position of Imperial Censor, you did not explain it clearly, Fourth Brother. I hope to get your exact answer!"

Chu Ying's eyes turned cold: "My opinion is no longer important. Prince, you brought troops to the Golden Palace. When the emperor knows about this, he will definitely punish you severely!

As for the position of Imperial Censor, even if I give it to you now, can you keep it firmly in your position?"

After saying that, Chu Ying glared at the soldier in front of him and said, "Get out of here!"

With a push of his hands, the two soldiers were caught off guard and the spears in their hands were pushed away by Chu Ying.

With a cold snort, Chu Ying walked away.

Seeing this, Liu Yunqing sighed and bowed to everyone, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to do so, then let's ask His Majesty for his decision!"

After saying this, the man turned and left.

The prince did not stop him, but said calmly: "Since Fourth Brother and Lord Liu have no objection, from now on, I will take over the Censorate. Anyone who is dissatisfied can stand up now!"

All the ministers lowered their heads and no one dared to speak.

The prince laughed loudly: "Since everyone has no objection, this matter is settled!"

"Everyone in the Censorate, listen up. Make every effort to investigate what the Fourth Prince did during his time as regent!"

He clearly wanted to tell everyone that he was going to confront the Fourth Prince head-on.

Chu Ning is not in Kyoto City, so he can let go and deal with the Fourth Prince first!
