The second prince stared at Censor Lin with fire in his eyes.

This old thing!

He has always been singing against him. If he ever takes that position in the future, the first thing he will do is chop off this old man's head!

In his angry eyes, Imperial Censor Lin said calmly, "The Second Prince hasn't even broken off his marriage with my daughter."

The second prince: “!!!”

This is simply unreasonable!

"Father!"

He suddenly turned to the emperor, pointed at Censor Lin, and said angrily, "It was you who personally granted the marriage between me and Lu Zhaoyun. Now Censor Lin is committing treason by bringing up the marriage contract in front of your father. It's clear that he is questioning your father and doesn't take you seriously!"

The prince on the side was very quiet.

If the emperor's uncle were here, he would probably mutter, "Zhou Ling is such an idiot, he can't even hold the main vein if he wants to file a complaint."

Censor Lin has already scolded Lu Zhaoyun as a slave's daughter, and this marriage has already rubbed the royal family's face on the ground several times.

Now Zhou Ling insists on putting the blame on the emperor and insists on emphasizing that it was the emperor who personally granted the marriage. Isn't this forcing the emperor to drink the bowl of shit himself?

Zhou Ling picked them for both himself and Concubine Shu.

That means——

I am engaged to my slave's daughter, but wasn't that a marriage granted by our father?

In this case, will the emperor feel comfortable?

Sure enough, when the emperor heard Zhou Ling's words, his face darkened.

"Shut up for me!!!"

The emperor was really furious.

Every time when he wanted to pamper Zhou Ling and help him reach a higher level, Zhou Ling would commit suicide.

Now the emperor feels that Zhou Ling is a hopeless case.

When the emperor got angry, the prince stepped forward and said in a gentle voice, "Second brother, your marriage to the Lu family was initially deceived by you. Later, I granted the marriage because I was kindhearted and wanted you to be able to marry the woman you love."

"But father still thought carefully for you, that's why he appointed Miss Qiu as his principal wife. Father's kindness should not be exchanged for your current complaints and accusations. I feel sorry for father for this."

The Second Prince stared at him in disbelief.

"Don't spit blood on me! When did I ever complain or blame my father?"

The prince sighed softly.

"Father, I am the one who spoke too much."

He retreated back to his original position.

The emperor looked at him and felt a pang in his heart.

A Ze knows how to feel sorry for him!

Zhou Ling just now insisted on putting the marriage with the Lu family on his head. Wasn't he blaming him?

Don’t you even think about who insisted on marrying Lu Zhaoyun in the first place!

Also, the two had often met secretly before they were married, and it was said that they hugged and did all kinds of intimate things!

The stupid Concubine Shu taught Zhou Ling to be stupid as well.

The mother and son didn't even realize that Jin Qiaozhen was a slave!

"Zhou Ze, explain it to me clearly, and stop being so sarcastic and taking advantage of others' misfortune!"

The second prince looked at the crown prince. The crown prince turned his head to look at him, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said two words silently.

idiot.

The second prince was immediately furious.

"Zhou Ze!!!"

The emperor was so angry when he saw him like this that he slapped the armrest and shouted, "Zhou Ling, this is the court! How dare you call your brother by his name? How dare you make random accusations here? Is there anything the prince said that is wrong?"

The second prince's eyes turned red with grievance.

"Father, he scolded me..."

"Get out of here! You are not allowed to attend court for a month!" The emperor was furious.

The second prince was stunned, but when he met the emperor's angry eyes, he didn't dare to do anything else. He shook his hands and turned to leave the hall.

Prime Minister Shen and others felt heavy in their hearts.

No, why does the Second Prince become more stupid as he grows older?

The second prince was very smart when he was a child, otherwise how could he have won the emperor's favor for so many years?

But they don’t know that sometimes, spoiling can ruin a person.

The Second Prince was indeed smart and clever when he was a child. At that time, Concubine Shu was still in the stage of climbing up the social ladder, so she was much more cautious. She would take the trouble to think about and do many details well, and naturally she would teach the Second Prince carefully every day.

However, after years of grace, both mother and son have become arrogant.

The Second Prince had been favored by the Emperor for so many years that he gradually took it for granted and became much more insensitive.

Concubine Shu had long felt that no one in the harem could surpass her, and she had neglected a lot in teaching the Second Prince.

"Father, please calm down. Your health is the most important thing." The prince consoled him softly, and then continued, "A Ling may not have meant it."

"You don't have to speak for him!"

The emperor was still angry.

He was so disappointed with Zhou Ling. Look at the prince, he is becoming more careful and steady, why can't Zhou Ling learn a little bit?

Prime Minister Shen stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince has always been straightforward. He just wanted to share your worries and didn't think too much."

"Hmph." Although the emperor disagreed, his anger was somewhat subsided.

"I also think that we should send people to the north to check the disaster situation, especially the situation of refugees. Since ancient times, unrest has always been caused by refugees. Compared with snow disasters, man-made disasters should be suppressed in a timely manner."

"Oh? Minister Shen, do you mean to send troops to suppress the refugees?"

Prime Minister Shen said, "We don't know the number of refugees yet. I think it's most important to send someone to find out first. Since we have to deal with refugees, it's more appropriate to send military generals. Civil officials might panic if they encounter unrest."

When Censor Lin and others heard Prime Minister Shen say this, they immediately understood that Prime Minister Shen had a candidate.

Several people in the court exchanged glances at the same time.

This imperial envoy going to the north is very important.

"Your Majesty, I also think that a military commander is suitable."

Several more people stood up and echoed Prime Minister Shen's opinion.

"Then according to what you gentlemen have said, who is suitable?" asked the emperor.

Prime Minister Shen gave a look to his subordinate.

The man cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I do have a candidate, that is Han Xun, Deputy General Han from the Tianji Camp."

"Han Xun?"

The emperor's heart moved.

He hadn't thought about this person for some time.

Han Xun is the son-in-law of Lord Shu.

After Lord Shu took sick leave, the emperor deliberately treated all the court officials related to him coldly.

Especially his son-in-law.

"Your Majesty, Han Xun was the champion of the martial arts competition three years ago. He is highly skilled in martial arts and has been disciplined and taught by Elder Shu. I think he is not just a reckless general, but also a man of great skill. This time, he is the most suitable person to go to the north to provide disaster relief and investigate the situation of the refugees."

Prime Minister Shen looked thoughtful, and when the emperor asked him what he meant, he stood up and said, "I don't know Deputy General Han very well."

The prince felt a little depressed.

Saying that you don't understand, isn't that just clearing yourself up so that the emperor can feel more at ease to use Deputy General Han?

He was a little confused about the relationship between Prime Minister Shen and Lord Shu.

After the court session, the prince returned to the East Palace, thought about it, and decided to write a letter and order the secret guards to send the message out.
