Prince Chu only mentioned the matter of stealing copper, without speaking of the assassination attempt on him organized by the Crown Prince. However, just the matter of stealing copper to forge weapons was enough to shock everyone in the world.
The Emperor did not speak, his expression inscrutable, leaving everyone unsure of his thoughts.
The ministers below were as silent as cicadas in winter.
Prince Dai and Marquis Xuanping, however, were extremely excited, their eyes filled with wild joy. They had waited for so many years for the day the Crown Prince would be deposed; how could they remain calm?
At this moment, the Imperial Censor stepped forward. In a righteous tone, he declared that the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen had stolen copper and forged weapons with the intent to rebel, urging the Emperor to deal with them according to the law.
