Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1946: Taihe Hall

Long Rui coldly smiled and said, "Prime Minister, do you think everyone present here is a fool? It’s not enough for you to meticulously plan and send over a hundred assassins to attack the War Prince’s Mansion, but you even poisoned their weapons. How malicious are you, and yet you have the audacity to tell me it’s a misunderstanding?"

As Long Rui spoke, he employed a slight inner strength, causing every word he uttered to echo continuously within Taihe Hall.

Everyone heard it distinctly, and a commotion erupted...

"The Prime Minister is so malicious, sending so many men wasn’t enough, he even poisoned them?"

"Right, what grudge does he hold against the Prince?"

At this point, everyone glanced at the Fourth Prince, pondering whether the Prime Minister did all this to avenge the Fourth Prince.

The discussions continuously reached the Prime Minister’s ears, making him inwardly furious, but he dared not speak recklessly before the Emperor. Moreover, he genuinely feared the War Prince, regretting tremendously his decision to help the Fourth Prince with this foolish matter.

"What do you know? What nonsense are you spouting?" The Prime Minister turned around, unable to resist shouting at the civil and military officials.

The Emperor was enraged, slammed the table fiercely, and cursed, "How dare you, this is the Golden Throne Hall, you dare to argue here as if it’s a vegetable market? Where you can shout at will, outrageous."

Everyone saw the Emperor was angry, did not dare to make a sound, and knelt on the ground, saying, "Your subjects dare not."

The Emperor said, "Anyone who dares to speak loudly in the Golden Throne Hall, disrespecting the Royal Family, shall be executed without mercy."

"Yes."

"Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The officials moved in unison.

However, the War Prince stood out, sitting steadily on the bench, indifferent to the Emperor’s words.

The Emperor was both angry and helpless against him, secretly decided to endure until he regained military power, then he would deal with the War Prince, making him wish for death, to repay the endurance of humiliation over these years.

"Beloved Minister Long, if you have grievances, feel free to speak, I will ensure justice for you," the Emperor’s expression tried to remain calm.

Long Rui glanced at the Petition of the People in Eunuch Li’s hands and said lightly, "Emperor, the Petition of the People is my heartfelt words, I hope the Emperor does not let the people down."

The Emperor’s expression changed, the Prime Minister was his man, he could grip anytime to fulfill his tasks, if he disposed of the Prime Minister, wouldn’t it weaken his own power faction?

"Prince, without evidence, relying solely on the people’s words to deal with the current Prime Minister, isn’t right?" The Emperor said pretending to be troubled.

Long Rui had anticipated the old Emperor’s move long ago and said with a sly grin, "Rest assured, Emperor, I have solid evidence."

"What evidence?"

"Witnesses."

"Witnesses?"

"Yes."

"Where?"

"Right outside the hall door."

"Truly?"

"The Emperor can summon them into the hall, one question and it will be clear whether it’s true or false," Long Rui said leisurely on the bench.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was dumbfounded, truly a case of shooting oneself in the foot. Seeing the civil and military officials looking at him with wide eyes, refusing was not an option, he reluctantly said, "Summon the witnesses."

Eunuch Li immediately raised his voice sharply and shouted, "Summon the witnesses."

"Summon the witnesses," echoed the nearby eunuchs.

Thus, the calls echoed one after another to the outside of the hall.
