above the hall.

The emperor looked at the prince standing below with a dignified expression, and slammed his hand on the table. "What did you just say?"

The icy sound was chilling.

The sound echoed above the hall.

All the civil and military officials looked at each other in silence, not daring to breathe.

The Crown Prince was neither humble nor arrogant, his face solemn. He clasped his hands together and continued in a steady voice, "I have already had someone investigate thoroughly. Prince Zhan was in Jiangbei, leading the army to defeat the attacks of Xiqi and the island nation. He did not deliberately provoke war, but was defending the country. I beg your Majesty to clear Prince Zhan's name."

The voice was enunciated word by word.

Very clear.

Everyone present heard it clearly.

The emperor's face turned pale. He never expected that the prince would cause such a big mess just by being quiet for a few days.

He knew very well what the border was like.

It was a rare opportunity to deal with Xiao Lijing, so he made up such a charge.

He never expected that the first person to oppose was the prince, his own son.

He slammed his hand on the table. "How dare you! You're saying I'm a tyrant and slandering loyalty..."

"I dare not. I only want justice for King Zhan! I have already found evidence. I ask Father to investigate."

The prince knelt on the ground with a plop and said earnestly, "If the lips and teeth are gone, they will be cold. If it weren't for Prince Zhan guarding Jiangbei, I'm afraid our capital would have fallen, so..."

"I second your motion. Prince Zhan is invincible on the battlefield. He has suffered countless injuries over the years defending his country. We cannot allow a loyal minister to suffer injustice."

"I second this motion. If it weren't for Prince Zhan saving me on the battlefield, I would have lost my life to him. Your Majesty, please understand."

There are people who have started.

Civil and military officials knelt down one after another to speak for Xiao Lijing.

The emperor's face became even uglier.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly.

He knew that Xiao Lijing had many supporters in the court for many years, but he never expected that there were so many.

The imperial decree issued by the king of a country was forced to be retracted.

He stared at the prince intently, "You bastard, do you even know what you're talking about? There were huge battles at the border, with countless casualties. It was the Prince Zhan you're talking about, who did it all for the princess!"

"A general's fame is built on the sacrifice of thousands of men. Do you know how many people died in this war? How many civilians were displaced? He caused a war between two countries for his own selfish reasons. Is he really being wronged?"

The more he talked, the angrier he became.

He picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it over regardless of everyone's objections.

boom!

The teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The prince was disappointed.

He clasped his hands together and said, "This war has nothing to do with the Emperor's uncle. It's the repeated provocations of those two countries out of their wolfish ambitions. Even if we don't fight today, in a few years their strong armies and patriots will march north."

"Opportunities are fleeting, and if we have the chance, we should annihilate them in one fell swoop. Why not? The War King has also captured an emperor and a prince alive, which is a great contribution to the court..."

"Shut up!"

The prince told the whole story.

The emperor was furious and threw another teacup.

All the civil and military officials prostrated themselves on the ground, "Your Majesty, please investigate!"

Everyone in the hall knelt in a row.

When the emperor saw this scene, his heart sank and he looked at the prince as if he were a dead person.

A strong murderous aura poured out.

Everyone present was shocked.

Tiger poison does not eat children.

Everyone was aware of the emperor's suppression of the prince over the years, but no one expected that the emperor would go so far as to want to kill the prince.

The prince is the foundation of the country.

If the crown prince is abolished, who will become the next crown prince? Will it be the second prince?

Many ministers felt disheartened when they thought of this.

Everyone knew what kind of person the Second Prince was.

The second prince is a hypocritical person, but who knows how many dirty things he has done behind the scenes.

At this moment, an old general stumbled in, fell to his knees with a flutter, and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister's son is with Prince Zhan. I know everything about the border affairs. Please let Your Majesty know."

The old general is a veteran of three dynasties.

In the court, everyone responded to his call.

After seeing him kneel down, the others pleaded even harder.

The emperor's face was ashen, his eyes were filled with anger, and his chest was burning with rage.

He clenched his fists and looked at the Second Prince. Their eyes met in the air and he instantly had an idea.

boom!

He slammed his hand on the table.

His voice was icy cold. "Are you guys planning a rebellion? I am the ruler of a country, and you dare to unite and force me. Believe it or not, I will kill you all!"

boom!

There was another loud noise.

Everyone crawled on the ground, unable to find the source of the sound.

The second prince saw it clearly and knew that he was really angry.

The emperor actually threw his beloved inkstone on the ground.

The inkstone fell to the ground, making a sound that struck everyone's heart.
