Xia Lingxuan was a little surprised.
I didn't expect them to move so fast.
I had long known that these people were dissatisfied with me and might use some tricks or even some thoughts, but I never thought that these people were so shameless and dared to attack the emperor directly!
Eunuch Wu had been with the emperor for many years and knew the emperor's love for Xia Lingxuan. He specifically told the truth about today, so it was inevitable that he would ramble a few more words.
"Now His Majesty is alone and weak. In front of others, Your Majesty cannot be biased. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at you and Your Majesty above the court. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, must be careful and don't say too much, lest these courtiers arrest you. If you live in the wrong place, you will definitely be entangled.”
He did not ask Xia Lingxuan to be powerful or eloquent, but he had to send all these civil servants away. He only wanted Xia Lingxuan to be more stable and behaved, and not to cause any more trouble to His Majesty.
Just as he was about to enter the court, Xia Lingxuan suddenly heard a notification tone.
[Dip, prove your innocence. 】
[Task Difficulty: Easy]
[Reward: One pill (blue)]
As the reminder sound came out in his mind, Xia Lingxuan was suddenly surprised. After clicking to view, he did not expect that the reward for this mission would be an elixir, and the reward elixir was extremely valuable. In the next step It can be used to achieve breakthroughs in practice.
As long as he can use this pill to break through the realm, Xia Lingxuan's future achievements in martial arts will be even deeper.
He hid the surprise in his eyes.
I didn’t expect to be so lucky to get such a treasure...
But first you have to prove your innocence before you can get the reward!
In the main hall.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Xia Lingxuan did not feel unfamiliar.
In his mind, he gradually recalled the appearance of going to court before.
A few years ago, the emperor still had high hopes for the prince. At that time, the emperor allowed Xia Lingxuan to observe politics and learn how to deal with national affairs. He hoped that he could learn more by being immersed in the court.
Sooner or later, national affairs will be handed over to Xia Lingxuan. The emperor has great expectations for Xia Lingxuan, hoping that he can take on the responsibility of a country's crown prince.
Unexpectedly, Xia Lingxuan, who had received the favor, was not as caring about the world as he imagined. Instead, he made unsightly behavior such as eating in the court hall, insulting courtiers, and even taking off his shoes, which immediately made the emperor furious.
The emperor was disgraced again and again, and finally, the emperor ordered that the prince would no longer be allowed to attend court.
Since then, the prince has not been in court for many years.
When the prince walked to the court with his head held high, the emperor's face looked better, less gloomy and more hopeful.
Even though there was a lot of anger built up in his heart just now, he could not make it difficult for the prince in front of the courtiers, let alone slap the royal family in the face and lose face.
"Today I specially asked the prince to come to court. It's just that I heard that there were some minor conflicts between the prince and Master Meng in the past few days. Some things should naturally be resolved. There is no need to let others make irresponsible remarks. The relationship between you master and disciple Misunderstandings and conflicts were resolved in front of all the courtiers. After all, it is easy to resolve enemies but not easily to make them, so why should there be any conflicts that cannot be resolved?"
There was a smile on the emperor's face, and he seemed very kind, not as gloomy as he had just been.
Wang Shilang suddenly stood there dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, the emperor had already had a little conflict, and he wanted to expose the nine sins he just mentioned with a light word.
No matter which one of the nine crimes it was, Xia Lingxuan could not escape the blame. The emperor concluded with one sentence that it was a conflict between the two. If there was a rift in his heart, he would naturally want to find an explanation.
In this way, it seemed that Shilang Wang and Master Meng were narrow-minded and clinging to the little problems in the prince's daily life. They were small-minded people who had no tolerance.
Xia Lingxuan learned about the situation on the way here. The current situation was very unfavorable to him. After all, there was no evidence. If he wanted to refute the two of them, verbal arguments were the weakest.
Pursing his lips, Xia Lingxuan sighed in embarrassment, and looked at Master Meng with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, as if the two of them were just having a little fight.
"It's all because of the bad students. Master Meng was demoted to the Imperial College before because of me. We have already forged old grudges. In addition, in the Imperial College a few days ago, Master Meng planned to use class lectures to suppress the students. He even made it a point to fail to pass the mid-month exam. A commitment to leave when you get to number one.”
Xia Lingxuan followed the trend and pointed all the fingers at Master Meng through the emperor's words.
Master Meng froze on the spot, unexpectedly giving Xia Lingxuan an opportunity to take advantage of.
Then Xia Lingxuan's face showed a hint of helplessness.
He looked at the strange looks of the courtiers around him, glanced at Wang Shilang next to him, and remembered the faces of these people in his mind.
Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sighed:
"On that day, Master Meng wanted to suppress me, and the questions he asked were very tricky. However, I studied the scriptures hard in the past few days, and naturally found a solution strategy. What the audience said might make Master Meng unable to come to the stage, and then we formed a new relationship. Hatred, maybe Master Meng felt ashamed, so he wanted to retire and return to his hometown."
Xia Lingxuan put his hands behind his back and looked like he was lamenting.
He was naturally clear about Master Meng's methods, and he also knew what to say to throw the dirty water back.
Master Meng originally wanted to suppress him in the court, but was humiliated by Xia Lingxuan in such a clever way, and he suddenly became a little angry.
Wang Shilang saw that Master Meng's face was red with anger, but he was unable to argue. His face sank, and then a hint of viciousness appeared in his eyes.
"The prince has such a strong tone!"
Everyone immediately focused their attention on him, and Wang Shilang immediately criticized the prince righteously.
"Mr. Meng is a fellow Jinshi appointed by the emperor. He is rich in learning and erudition. How can he be ashamed of himself by a brat like you? It is obvious that you are talking nonsense when you see that you can't deny it. You are a brat, and you dare to frame Meng deliberately. Master!"
He originally thought that these remarks would make Xia Lingxuan angry, but he never expected that the other party would remain calm and treat him coldly.
A smile flashed across Xia Lingxuan's eyes.
It was these remarks that allowed him to find a breakthrough.
Everyone looked at the two men at war with each other, knowing that this matter had little to do with Wang Shilang, and that it was Master Lu who was instigating it behind the scenes.
It seems that the prince has offended too many people, so he was targeted in the court today.
Xia Lingxuan said loudly:
"Shilang Wang, just now you said in the court that I had committed nine major crimes. You kept mentioning my identity as the prince and saying that I was the crown prince of a country, and you accused me of nine unfounded crimes. But now in academic discussions, you have You say that I am a child with a yellow mouth, but what do you think of His Highness's identity?"
Wang Shilang's face turned as white as paper.
This guy...is so sharp-tongued!
Xia Lingxuan waved his sleeves. He no longer looked like a playboy like before, but instead exuded a calm and mature aura.
He sneered:
"I see that it's you who are talking nonsense!"
"It's okay for a shallow person like you to not understand. Since the ministers were not present at what happened that day, His Highness will tell you exactly what happened today!"
With a wave of his hand, Xia Lingxuan sat on the steps. The sudden scene made everyone's expressions change drastically.
Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince has to take off his shoes in public again? !
