Zhou Shuren felt that more people were watching him. He really didn't want to express his opinion, but he had to because who knew if the prince would hold a grudge? Anyway, it was the emperor who pushed him forward, so he just went with the flow. His statement would make people more convinced that the emperor was really no longer able to do what he wanted.
Zhou Shuren ignored the gazes and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expectantly, "Please let the Crown Prince take the throne."
The sound was so sonorous and powerful that Zhou Shuren's words could still echo in the hall.
The prince pursed his lips, his face a little tense. He felt that Lord Zhou had exaggerated him a little too much.
The King of Qi looked back at Lord Zhou blankly. Lord Zhou said, "Yes, Lord Zhou, I can do it." Then he quickly stepped forward and said in a voice several degrees higher than Lord Zhou's, "The country cannot be without a king for a day. Please let the crown prince take the throne."
King of Chu, "..."
He can't raise his voice to this level!
Prince Liang had a terrible toothache and then he realized that his family members all had first-rate acting skills.
Zhang Yang's ears were shaken and he felt a little dazed.
The King of Chu's voice was not loud, but it was shrill, and the eyes of the eunuchs standing in the hall all fell on him. The King of Chu regretted using his voice to compete!
As soon as Zhou Shuren expressed his opinion, a chain reaction occurred. Xiao Qing, Old Man Wang and others came forward to ask the prince to succeed to the throne.
Zhang Yang was stunned, he realized how great Zhou Shuren's influence was. Then he had a bad feeling that he couldn't go on like this. If he kept waiting, the prince would be the successor to the throne as expected, so what was the point of making such a fuss
The prince took a deep breath, feeling that he was really going to succeed to the throne, but he had to stay calm, as his father was behind the scenes, "Ministers, please do not say anything more."
This routine is familiar, the successor has to be affectionate several times, and then there will be another wave.
Zhang Yang glared at Zhou Shuren fiercely. Gu Ren said that Zhou Shuren was poisoned and there was nothing to be afraid of. Bah, he wished that Zhou Shuren would die of the poison right now.
Zhang Yang stepped forward and pulled down the King of Liang's royal robes, lowering his voice, "We can't wait any longer."
If you wait any longer, the prince will succeed to the throne.
King Liang's eyes were deep. He looked up and saw the prince looking at him. He was silent, then took a big step forward and said, "How can a man who killed his father be qualified to succeed to the throne?"
The ministers' eyes all fell on King Liang.
Prince Liang looked indifferent, staring directly at the crown prince, and continued in a cold voice: "You hypocritical fellow, why is the emperor still not awake? It's because of you who murdered him."
The prince said solemnly, "I will do my best to take care of my father, so please don't talk nonsense, Prince Liang."
King Liang sneered, "Devoted your heart and soul? What a joke. After the ban was lifted, he did not go to see the emperor first, but instead met the ministers. What is the prince's intention? He replaced the ministers one after another and summoned his confidants. Is this the prince's dedication?"
Prince, "The court cannot be left without someone in control, and my father also hopes that I will do so."
Prince Liang took a big step forward and said, "The prince is guilty. He is anxious after being confined for many months. The ministers still remember clearly how his father treated him before he fell into a coma. The prince is afraid and wants to kill his father."
The prince was angry, "I think the King of Liang has gone mad."
Zhou Shuren thought that being in the line to support the crown prince was a good position, and he was quite excited watching the crown prince and Prince Liang acting together.
The other ministers were already whispering in groups, because the prince was indeed too hasty and too obvious as King Liang had said.
King Liang laughed, "You are afraid, I have evidence that you added medicine to your father's medicine."
The prince said coldly, "I think you are talking nonsense because you don't obey me. I am grateful for our father's kindness and for the fact that we are brothers. I will show mercy to you, but you are ambitious. Good, very good."
King Liang, "Don't get angry first, bring Dr. Sun."
As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch brought Imperial Doctor Sun into the hall. Imperial Doctor Sun was trembling with every step he took.
All the ministers in the hall fell silent and looked at the imperial physician.
After Doctor Sun greeted him, King Liang said, "Tell me everything you know. Yes, you must produce evidence, lest the prince accuse me of having evil intentions again."
Doctor Sun took out a piece of cloth from his bosom and said, "Every day when the emperor prepares medicine, someone will take a piece of cloth soaked in medicine and boil it together with the medicine. When it is cooked, the cloth will be destroyed. I found that someone had kept the burnt cloth, so I changed the evidence."
King Liang continued to ask, "What are the consequences of adding the medicine cloth?"
Doctor Sun quickly glanced at the prince, then lowered his head and said, "It destroys people's vitality, and finally they slowly die in a coma."
The ministers were in an uproar over the murder of his father, but then they quieted down, as one side's words alone could not be trusted.
The prince was also very calm, "Prince Liang really went to great lengths to frame me."
King Liang sneered, "Of course there is other evidence."
As he said this he clapped his hands, and a palace maid and a eunuch came in. The eunuch was easy to recognize, and he was now taking care of the emperor.
At sea, carpet bombing had turned the area around the island into ruins, and the ships were approaching the shore.
Rong Chuan was tired, and stared at the iron chain in General Hou's hand, "I really don't want to get off the boat."
General Hou didn't believe it. He was going to land on the island. After thinking about it, he found the iron chain. He ignored Prince Ning's struggle and locked it on Prince Ning's feet with satisfaction. "Half a day, half a day will unlock Prince Ning's iron chain."
Rong Chuan moved his feet and chuckled. It was really hard for General Hou to find such a long chain that would not affect his movements on the deck but could also trap him. "General Hou is really talented."
General Hou, "The Crown Prince is related to my life and property, so I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. When I return victorious, I will apologize to the Crown Prince."
Rong Chuan waved his hand. This was all his own fault. He really angered his father, so he threatened General Hou. "This prince is waiting for the general to return triumphantly."
General Hou drew his sword and said to the soldiers behind him, "Follow me and kill them on the island."
"kill."
Rongchuan watched the people landing on the island one after another. Now that they were close, he could hear shouting and killing. Because he was close to the island, Rongchuan could also see people hit by the shells, their broken limbs and blood staining the beach.
There was indifference in Rongchuan's eyes. As he knew more, he realized that no one on the island was innocent and they all deserved to be killed. He suddenly forgot his past self. Not to mention killing people, he had to think twice before even killing a chicken. Now, Rongchuan smiled softly. The environment and responsibilities had changed him. He was a prince.
In the capital's hall, after the palace maids and eunuchs finished their explanation, the hall fell silent, especially because the eunuchs' words made people trust them.
Suddenly, a minister stepped forward and said, "You killed your father. Your virtue is unworthy of your position."
With the start, people came out one after another.
Lord Ning and others retorted, "This is nonsense, this is a conspiracy by the King of Liang."
The prince stared at King Liang coldly, "King Liang really took great pains to bribe everyone around my father. If that's the case, I don't need to be polite."
As the words fell, suddenly soldiers in armor rushed into the hall, holding long swords in their hands, and surrounded the hall.
Zhou Shuren took a step back, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he took another step back.
The prince saw it out of the corner of his eye and silently looked away.
