Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Sword Travels Smoothly

At this moment, the ministers in the court have already discussed a lot, and many ministers, as soon as they open their mouths, they will impeach Chu Mo unscrupulously.

Of course, there were also some ministers who began to speak to Chu Mo, and tried their best to exonerate Chu Mo, lest the prince, who had just shown some of his strengths, be crowned with trumped-up charges by these ministers.

In the last bet, Chu Mo can be said to have made the right Xiangyu Wen Chenghua lose face.

Now that Chu Mo has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion again because of the execution of Liu Shu, it has aroused the anger of many literati and people with lofty ideals, and he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to fall into the trap for Chu Mo.

And the faction that protected Chu Mo was naturally the ministers headed by An Guogong and Kong Mengzhi, and the two sides launched a fierce debate in the court.

Although it is not like the general fists and feet of military generals, they can also kill people invisibly.

Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, frowned, didn't say a word, just quietly looked at the noisy civil and military officials, and let them argue and quarrel.

After a while, Chu Yunxiu gave Hong Sifeng a few words, and Hong Sifeng took advantage of the fierce dispute among the ministers to quietly leave the apse and go straight to the palace gate.

On the other side, Chu Mo was busy improving the 'new learning strategy' until the second half of the night before going to sleep. When he woke up, he had already missed the time of the previous dynasty, but he still let Li Jin drive the carriage to the palace.

It's just that the two of them just arrived in front of the palace gate, and they happened to bump into Hong Sifeng who ran out of the palace to report the news.

When Hong Sifeng saw the prince's carriage, he hurriedly shouted to Chu Mo in the carriage.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Chu Mo lifted the curtain, looked at Hong Sifeng outside the carriage, and said suspiciously: "It turned out to be Gonggong Hong, shouldn't Gonggong Hong accompany his father to the early dynasty at this hour? Why did he run out of the palace and look like he was in a hurry, did something happen?"

Hong Sifeng bowed to Chu Mo, and then hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, a few days ago, you openly ordered the golden armor guards to execute Liu Shu and Lord Liu in the court, and for some reason, it suddenly spread among the people. This incident aroused the indignation of the folk literati, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not value the literati, despised the teacher, had no respect for the subordinates, and insulted the sages. ”

"This matter has been in an uproar among the people, and at this moment, even in the court, there have been many ministers who have jointly made statements to His Majesty, wanting to impeach His Royal Highness the Prince, asking His Majesty to severely punish His Royal Highness, and give an explanation to the literati and gentlemen of Chu State, so as to make the people angry!"

Hong Sifeng said a lot of words in one breath, and he was panting at the moment, intending to slow down and then continue to explain to Chu Mo.

After Chu Mo heard what he said, he immediately understood what was going on in his heart, but he didn't have too much fear.

"Gonggong Hong, your father sent you to persuade Gu not to enter the palace, right?"

Hong Sifeng nodded excitedly, but the breath in his chest still hadn't evened out.

Seeing this, Chu Mo smiled and continued: "Father's intention is to let Gu Xian return to the mansion, and after this matter is found out and the people's anger is calmed, Gu will continue to participate in the early dynasty?"

Hong Sifeng nodded heavily and replied, "That's what Your Majesty meant. ”

"There is Lao Hong's father-in-law. Chu Mo said politely with an indifferent face, and then immediately instructed Li Jin: "Father-in-law Li, do you hear it?

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Li Jin responded, immediately drove the carriage to turn around, and drove to the prince's mansion again.

Hong Sifeng stood at the gate of the palace, looking at the carriage that was getting farther away, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, he ran back to the palace non-stop and informed Emperor Chu of this matter.

The carriage slowly drove towards the Prince's Mansion, but before they entered the door, they saw from a distance that dozens of people had gathered in front of the Prince's Mansion.

These people are thinly dressed and can't release the scrolls, and they are clearly some weak scholars.

But these weak scholars who are powerless have made it difficult for the princes and guards guarding the gate at this moment.

These literati seem to have a bullish temper, and the difference between them and the prince's guard rate is really not small.

Fighting and fighting, fighting and not daring to fight, the prince guards who guarded the gate had no choice but to let them abuse Chu Mo at the door.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why haven't you come out to confront us yet?

"Hmph, if you don't take me as a subordinate in your eyes like this, you should give us an explanation!"

"Today, we will seek justice for the scholars of the world. ”

Seeing that the mood of these literati is high.

Li Jin stopped the carriage and said to Chu Mo in the carriage: "Your Highness, do you want the old slave to take action and drive away these scholars who are at the mercy of others?"

"No need. Chu Mo replied lightly: "It seems that you can't enter the front gate, let's go back to the house through the back door!"

"Yes. Li Jin replied and didn't say anything more.

The scholars at the door scolded loudly, and when Chu Mo heard those words from afar, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. With his current status and power, he can completely arrest and torture all these stupid scholars.

But he didn't do it because he knew his opponent's move well. They were nothing more than using these scholars to act as a water army, and deliberately went to the prince's mansion to abuse Chu Mo, so as to force Chu Mo to attack them.

At that time, if Chu Mo really attacked these scholars, then even if he was not guilty, he would become guilty, allowing the manipulators behind him to take advantage of it.

Therefore, even in his previous life, Chu Mo hated these keyboard warriors who didn't know the truth, but at this moment, he still chose to forbear, trying to treat them as a group of idiots who were fooled.

Entering the mansion through the back door, Xue Xue saw Chu Mo and Li Jin returning to the mansion, so he immediately ran over and hurriedly reported to Chu Moyu: "Your Highness, after you went to the court, those scholars outside seemed to have been agreed a long time ago, and suddenly gathered at the door and abused His Highness in various ways. If Qin Lang and Zhao Ziyun hadn't stopped me, I would have gone out and taught them a hard lesson. ”

Xue Xue clenched his fists and looked indignant.

Chu Mo nodded, and found that Qin Lang and Zhao Ziyun were standing beside the snowfall.

At this time, Qin Lang should train the rest of the princes on the school field, and Zhao Ziyun should be the second ancestor of those official eunuchs in the city.

However, at this moment, they appeared in the Prince's Mansion, and it was not difficult to think that they must have heard about Chu Mo's affairs and knew that the Prince's Mansion was in trouble, so they rushed over to help.

Chu Mo nodded at the two of them, and then instructed Xue Xue, "Qin Lang and Ziyun are right to stop you. Those scholars outside were just deceived by others for a while, and if you went out and beat them up at this time, this matter would only get bigger and bigger. ”

"But Your Highness, you are the prince of the dignified Chu Kingdom, you can't let them continue to scold like this, right?" Xue Xue pouted angrily, still fighting for Chu Mo.

"If they want to scold, let them scold for a few days!" Chu Mo looked disappreciative and turned around and walked towards the hall.

The three of them looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

But after arriving in the hall, Chu Mo sat down directly, but didn't say a word. It's like a stuffy gourd who has been wronged, sitting there quietly, not knowing what he's thinking.

Zhao Ziyun hesitated for a long time before he asked in a low voice: "Brother Mo Chu, now it is rumored in the city that you executed the minister of the court because of a trivial matter, saying that you are a cruel and unkind prince." If you let the rumors continue to run rampant like this, it will be extremely detrimental to your reputation!"
