"Your Highness the Great Prince is too proud..." Chen Rui shook his head, curled his lips and said to himself: "Where is Chen's pride? In the eyes of everyone, he is just stubborn and uneasy and can't judge the situation!"
Just as the case of King Xuanwu was thoroughly investigated before, the court inspector and the censor Zhongcheng advised him, but he insisted on continuing to investigate thoroughly, and then he firmly advised the emperor to execute King Xuanwu in the court!
He knew that the emperor was unhappy, but he still wanted to do this, just for the word "faithfulness"!
Even if he was demoted by the emperor, he never regretted it... The only regret is that the emperor was too protective of such family affection. It would be fine if he could not be the Shangshu Ling, but he could no longer persuade the emperor in the court!
Xiao Changgong saw the helpless look flashing in his eyes, and without thinking, he could guess that he was worried because of his father's exile!
He also stood up for Chen Rui, otherwise he would not have been stalemate with his father in order to insist on making Chen Rui the Grand Tutor!
"Mr. Shen serves for the country, and is unfair to speak honestly and does not fear power. It is rare. How could he be stubborn?" Xiao Changgong did not agree with Chen Rui's self-deprecation and said solemnly: "The court needs to be like Mr. Shen in the court. Such a loyal minister will make my Dayin kingdom more stable!"
"Thank you, the eldest prince, for looking down on Weichen..." Chen Rui was quite moved when he heard Xiao Changgong's praise. He didn't expect that the eldest prince could see more clearly than the emperor in this matter!
Perhaps this is the confusion of the authorities and the bystanders!
The eldest prince is so transparent and capable, he is the best candidate to inherit the throne!
"With the eldest prince here, the emperor must be very pleased, and the empress can retire to the countryside with confidence..." Chen Rui let out a low breath and finally expressed his plan.
In fact, he had already planned to dismiss the emperor. Although he was far from the age of resignation, he was already tired and unwilling to be involved in those power struggles!
Even though he had more ambitions yet, the factions in the court were mixed and fought openly and secretly, and the emperor was happy to see that it was accomplished, which really made him feel a little disappointed.
"Mr. Shen is so young, how could my father agree to let you go back?" Xiao Changgong shook his head and said quietly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mr. Shen is wronged, I will ask for it for Lord. Shen... Please help me, Lord Shen, in the future, seek good fortune for the people, and promote my Dayin foundation!"
When Chen Rui heard Xiao Changgong's words, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Changgong. Seeing the firm expression flashing in his clear eyes, he pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
If he can help the eldest prince become a wise king, even if he is criticized by others, it will be nothing!
Seeing that he finally agreed, Xiao Changgong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but raise a glass to Chen Rui again. The two of them were drinking happily, and they were seen by the ministers who had previously sarcasticated Chen Rui, and their hearts became tight.
Taichangqing Feng Zhong was already half drunk, but he came to Xiao Changgong and Shen Rui with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Great Prince and Brother Shen have a great time..."
Xiao Changgong didn't like this Taichangqing, so he responded lightly, and several other ministers came over and said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that the eldest prince has already attracted Brother Chen as his confidant. Brother Chen is indeed powerful, let me get along first. The prince has made friends and now he has made friends with the eldest prince. I admire him!"
They seemed to be praising, but in fact they were implicitly mocking Chen Rui for clinging to the powerful!
How could Xiao Changgong not hear it? He said coldly: "This is a bad word. Lord Shen is the pillar of the country. I am lucky to have a lot of luck..."
