Chapter 76: Shou Zhe Overturns the Grand Court Meeting
……
Even Taishi Ankang, who had always supported Wang Shouzhe, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. Shouzhe, oh Shouzhe, I invited you to Shangjing City to solve problems.
But as soon as you arrived, you just stayed at home. Every time I saw you, you said there was no rush, that you had plans for later.
And this is the result?
What kind of genius move is this, daring to refuse even the Emperor's summons...
"Your Majesty," Prince Dexin said energetically, stepping forward himself, "You have shown great favor to the Wang Clan, yet Wang Shouzhe not only fails to be grateful but dares to defy your decree. If he is not severely punished, where will Your Majesty's dignity be?"
"Your Majesty," Prince Deshun stepped forward to argue, "Geniuses throughout history have had their quirks. Shouzhe is an unparalleled genius; perhaps he has his reasons for not coming?"
"What reasons? Clearly, he resents Your Majesty for not approving the new reform plan for Longzuo Commandery and for not supporting him during the Three Talents Office's tax investigation," Prince Dexin accused, "Such a person, who disregards the Emperor and is narrow-minded, what use is he?"
Subsequently, Prince Dexin and Prince Deshun, two shameless old ghosts, started arguing in the Ding Qian Hall, even rolling up their sleeves, as if ready to fight outside.
