Chapter 204 This person is...
"Your Majesty, this person is..."
Before Liu Lanqi could say who this person was, Prime Minister Lin knelt on the ground and interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, Lord Liu was not present at the time. He did not see the perpetrator, so his testimony is not credible."
"father in law……"
Liu Lanqi thought that someone would interrupt him, but he didn't expect that the person who came to interrupt him would be his good father-in-law.
"Lord Liu, how did you know the identity of the man who hurt the Crown Prince?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, I have drawn a picture of all the young men in the capital who meet the requirements, and asked the people who were there when the eldest prince was injured to identify them. Finally, after the eldest prince confirmed it, I was able to find out..."
"Lord Liu, you don't want to say that it was me who injured the eldest prince, right?"
Before Liu Lanqi could finish his words, someone interrupted him again.
Hearing the man's words, Liu Lanqi instinctively turned to look at the person who spoke, and saw the Sixteenth Master, who was sitting in the first seat under Emperor Chengxuan, looking at him with a smile.
Liu Lanqi did want to say that the person who injured Gu Jinyun was the Sixteenth Master, but now that he admitted it himself, it made it difficult for him to continue.
"Why is Master Liu silent?"
The Sixteenth Master looked at Liu Lanqi with a smile.
Emperor Chengxuan came to the rescue at the right time and said, "Royal brother, you are the emperor's uncle. Apart from me and the Empress Dowager, there is no one in this world that you cannot defeat."
"Brother, aren't you afraid that I really hurt your precious son?"
Having said that, Master Sixteen sighed.
"The eldest prince grew up outside the palace. This is his first time attending a palace banquet. I have never seen him before, but now that I see him in person, I know that he dared to whip me, his uncle, in the street because he had the support of the emperor and the queen mother."
When the Sixteenth Master said this, he was indirectly admitting that he was the one who injured Gu Jinyun. In this way, even if Emperor Chengxuan wanted to, he would not be able to punish him for this matter.
At the same time, although Emperor Chengxuan had not found the person who injured Gu Jinyun, he already knew everything that happened, and naturally knew that it was Gu Jinyun who started it first.
At that time, Gu Jinyun was just a marquis, but he dared to attack the prince of the dynasty in the street. The Sixteenth Master only kicked him and injured him, which was already a mercy. If we really want to investigate it, the fault lies with Gu Jinyun.
"You are joking, my brother. The child is ignorant. Don't bother with him."
"Brother, the eldest prince grew up outside the palace and had no one to teach him carefully, which is why he behaves unruly. Now that he has been restored to the royal family, he must be a good prince. I suggest that we send an old man from the palace to teach him the rules."
"Royal brother is right. The eldest prince should indeed learn all kinds of rules and regulations, and should get to know more about all the members of the royal family, so that he won't fail to recognize the family members next time he meets them on the street."
After saying this, Emperor Chengxuan turned to Gu Jinyun and said, "Yun'er, you grew up outside the palace and you know nothing about the palace rules and the people in our royal family.
Now that you are a prince, you must be a good prince and start studying in the Shangshufang from tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, this minister's body..."
"Just study with the tutors, and when you are well, you can learn martial arts from the martial arts masters. That's it."
"Yes!"
Emperor Chengxuan made the final decision, and Gu Jinyun had no chance to refute and could only accept it respectfully.
After knowing Gu Jinyun's identity, Liu Lanqi stood up, firstly to seek justice for him, and secondly to take the opportunity to defeat the Sixteenth Master so that he could return to the position of Minister of Personnel.
Emperor Chengxuan's reaction was completely beyond Liu Lanqi's expectations. It also indirectly proved that in Emperor Chengxuan's mind, the newly found eldest prince was no match for the Sixteenth Master.
Liu Lanqi knew that he would have to work under the Sixteenth Master in the future, and only then did he realize that he had made the worst move.
Thinking about how Prime Minister Lin had just stood up to stop him from telling the truth, and it turned out that he was trying to save him, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Father-in-law, I was reckless just now."
After returning to his seat, Liu Lanqi sincerely thanked Prime Minister Lin.
"No need to be polite."
Prime Minister Lin waved his hand indifferently.
"I have been in the officialdom for decades, and I can see through your little tricks clearly. Don't treat everyone as fools. When I return, I will also warn the eldest prince to keep a low profile and not show off his talents."
Hearing what Prime Minister Lin said, Liu Lanqi said in embarrassment: "Father-in-law, the eldest prince's power is already weak. From now on, it will be difficult to catch up with the power of the other princes in the court..."
