Chapter 21: The Illusion Again

"Even the court is arguing, it seems that this matter is really a bit tricky!"

Chu Mo muttered, but his face did not fluctuate much, and he went all the way forward.

Soon, the three of them came to the front of the main hall.

As for Li Jin, he was stopped by the golden-armored guards at the entrance of the main hall, although he was an old man who had served in front of the palace, but after all, he was just an old eunuch, and if he wanted to step into the court, he couldn't do it without a summons.

"Gonggong Li, you just wait outside the palace. Chu Mo put his hands behind his back and spoke softly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Jin agreed, and Chu Mo followed the eunuch alone and walked into the main hall.

The palace of Chu is resplendent and majestic!

Even though Chu Mo had seen a lot of such scenes on TV in his previous life, when he actually stepped into the main hall and saw the majestic and magnificent decoration, he still felt a burst of passion.

It is no wonder that since ancient times, everyone has dreamed of climbing to the top of the court.

Just this feeling, how many men do not like it?

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!"

Seeing that in front of the main hall, the eunuch knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.

Directly in front of him, Emperor Chu was dressed in a yellow robe, sitting on the dragon chair, with a solemn face and majesty at the moment.

With a slight wave of his hand, the eunuch quickly retreated to the side, leaving Chu Mo alone in the center of the hall.

Chu Mo put away his thoughts, glanced at the ministers lightly, and then bowed to the Emperor of Chu and said, "The sons and daughters meet the emperor!

Chu Mo was unhurried, but the ministers on both sides couldn't help frowning.

Even the crown prince has to kneel when he sees His Majesty.

Chu Mo's move was very unruly.

But before anyone could care, on the dragon chair, the majestic and domineering Chu Huang went straight to the point, obviously not caring about his son's behavior.

"The prince came just in time, this morning, the civil and military officials argued endlessly because of the civil strife in Zhao, and they never came up with a result. I called you here to see what you can do?"

After speaking, his eyes were fixed on Chu Mo, with a faint hint of expectation.

Hearing this, Chu Mo was stunned at first.

Looking at the eyes of the ministers around him, it was like looking at the stupid prince before.

In an instant, he immediately understood what Emperor Chu meant.

Emperor Chu was obviously deliberately creating an opportunity for himself to tell the answer to the ministers.

The ministers in the court have been resentful of him, the foolish prince, for a long time, and even said more than once that they want to abolish the prince.

Therefore, in order to change the attitude of the ministers, Emperor Chu deliberately let the civil and military officials quarrel all morning, and at this time, he specially invited Chu Mo into the palace to discuss the matter.

This clearly wants to take advantage of this incident to give Chu Mo a chance to serve the country, so as to take the opportunity to keep his position as the crown prince.

With such intentions, it can not be described as bad suffering!

Since this is the case, Chu Mo naturally will not let him down.

With a slight smile, Chu Mo opened his mouth and said: "Father, the son thinks that I, the Chu State, should help both sides, but neither side will help!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the court frowned and looked at each other.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this? ”

Among the ministers in the right row, an old minister with gray hair at the front was the first to stand up, with the meaning of questioning.

The rest of the people also looked at Chu Mo with doubtful eyes.

I want to hear what this stupid prince thinks.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, then Zhao Ning and Zhao Zheng are both here to borrow troops, whether they help on both sides or not on both sides, it is not good for my Chu State, if His Highness only has these ambiguous suggestions, then it is needless to say!"

The old minister stroked his sleeves, and his tone was already a little displeased.

The implication is that if Chu Mo doesn't have a good strategy, it's better not to speak.

Seeing this, Emperor Chu frowned, and was about to speak calmly.

Who knows, Chu Mo smiled lightly, brushed his sleeves and said, "May I ask what this adult is called?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, Xu Zhiqiu, the waiter of the Weichen Rite Department. The old minister is straightforward and fast-talking, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me, if Your Highness wants to take revenge on Weichen in the future, Weichen has no other way!" Xu Zhiqiu sneered twice, neither humble nor arrogant.

As a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, he is in a high position.

He was not accustomed to Chu Mo's previous behavior, and he was also one of the first ministers to propose to depose the prince.

What's more, he is still the eldest prince.

For this alone, it is impossible for him to have a good face towards Chu Mo.

However......

"Lord Xu is too worried, and there is no need to deal with you alone. ”

In this regard, Chu Mo smiled faintly:

"It's just that before the lonely words are finished, you are in a hurry to interrupt, don't you take the lonely in your eyes? That's it, before the father is allowed to play, you rashly speak, is it a great disrespect to the father?"

Chu Mo's words are chiseled, and the words are beady.

"According to the law of the Chu State, Lord Xu, you have committed the crime of great disrespect, and you should be beheaded! However, you are an old minister, and after the court is dispersed later, you will go to the outside of the palace to receive twenty battles!"

After that, Chu Mo raised his eyebrows coldly, and his tone became even more confident and domineering, which was completely irrefutable.

The majesty of the prince was instantly revealed.

"This, this ......"

Xu Zhiqiu's face turned pale, and he muttered two words in his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

Chu Mo's words were convincing, originally it was just some trivial things, but when he said this, it became a crime of killing his head.

If Your Majesty is to blame, twenty rods will be considered light.

It's just, this stupid prince, when did his mind become so clear?

The majesty on his body made his heart palpitate.

The eyes of the ministers on both sides also changed, and the eyes of the prince looked at them as if they had seen a ghost.

Could it be that the rumors are true, and the prince is not stupid at all?

Even Emperor Chu, who was seated, couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth.

This stinky boy in his own house is becoming more and more princely, and he has won his heart.

"Master Xu, what else do you have to say?"

Chu Mo looked at him, high up.

It's just a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he dares to come here to pick thorns? Isn't this looking for scolding?

Xu Zhiqiu's face changed, and he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, so he could only take a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Okay! Wei Chen was in a hurry and committed the crime of great disrespect, and Wei Chen voluntarily accepted the punishment." But His Royal Highness said that he had a plan, but Weichen still didn't understand, and asked His Highness to solve his doubts. ”

It seems that he is still not convinced.

Chu Mo glanced at him, he couldn't get used to this kind of person: "What are you anxious about? You don't understand, what does it have to do with Lone? You are just a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, do you still want to take special care of you and explain it to you? Or is it that you were instructed by some people to come to embarrass Lone? If this is the case, then Lone will really not fulfill your wish!"

"The prince is cautious!"

Xu Zhiqiu was taken aback.

Didn't the prince say this in front of the emperor, saying that he was forming a party for personal gain and fighting against the prince?

If this is heard by Emperor Chu, what is the difference between it and looking for death?!

"Since it's not, then shut up Lonely!"

Chu Mo drank this, and the entire court was silent in an instant.

Looking at Chu Mo one by one, their eyes changed.

This stupid prince, when did he become so tyrannical and sharp-tongued?
