All rivers and mountains are safe

Lu Chengjing came soon.

It's just that he didn't come here, but was carried up on a chariot, followed by Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling looked a little strange, Shen Mingan seemed to see Lu Ciheng winking at him.

The four sides of the chariot are covered with curtains, which are densely covered. From the outside, people can be seen indistinctly, but not concrete.

But Lu Chengjing always looked like this when he came to the palace a few times before, and all the officials have long regarded this as normal.

Lu Chengjing sat directly on the walking chariot, and was carried to the high position specially set up for him behind the dragon chair.

In fact, Lu Chengjing was basically unable to speak because of the stroke, but as soon as Lu Chengjing came, Lu Qingshi felt a full sense of oppression, and sat on the chair as if on pins and needles.

Before Lu Chengjing came, Wei Boran and others were citing scriptures and discussing with Lu Qingshi how to deal with the troublesome candidates. After Lu Chengjing came, he stopped abruptly, and the focus returned to the matter of taking blood for worship.

Wei Boran's face turned red because of his anger, and when he spoke to Lu Chengjing, his words were very fierce, "Your Majesty, the strange power and chaos are unbelievable, and what Zhao Tianshi said is even more unreasonable. Your Majesty thinks that they are born with evil spirits in July." Lock those ministers in prison, but His Royal Highness is also born in July, if you insist on doing so, as the closest person to you, shouldn't His Royal Highness be the first to bear the brunt of it?"

"Wei Boran, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Wei Boran was speaking to Lu Chengjing and also to Lu Qingshi. Lu Qingshi couldn't hold back at first, "I was born in June, when did I become Is it July?"

"On June [-]th, do you remember anything wrong?"

"You yourself said it was June [-]th..."

Lu Qingshi was eager to argue with him, Wei Boran cut off his words, "After Zishi, it will be July, not to mention the evil spirit, isn't the evil spirit at Zishi the most serious? "

These words turned Lu Qingshi's face pale, he turned his head stiffly to look at Lu Chengjing, but saw that the figure behind the curtain not only made no sound, but also did not move.

Lu Qingzhi was flustered and racked his brains to figure out how to deal with Wei Boran's questioning, when he heard Minister of the Ministry of Officials ask him lightly: "For those candidates who caused trouble and were imprisoned, what does His Highness want to do with them?"

Although he was involved in another bad thing, it was better than burning himself. Lu Qingshi was relieved. He looked at the courtiers in the hall, his mind was muddled, and he said bluntly: "The general will lead the trouble!" Let them kill the others, teach them a lesson, and let the rest go."

"His Royal Highness encounters difficult matters, so the way to deal with them is to kill people?!" The Minister of the Ministry of Officials scolded: "If the candidates don't give an explanation, how can they let it go! If there is one troublemaker, there will be another one. Is it true? Are they going to be killed? Where is Du Le? Does His Royal Highness still want to help him become an official?"

"Duler...Duler is dead." Lu Qingshi said tremblingly.

"Dead?" The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned, "How could he die if he was so good?"

"Me, I don't know either..."

Lu Ciheng added fuel to the fire, "Does His Highness feel that the dead can't speak?"

"No!" Lu Qingshi panicked, and immediately yelled loudly: "I didn't kill Du Le, I didn't kill him to silence him! I don't know why he died suddenly, but it really has nothing to do with me!"

His voice echoed all over the hall, Lu Qingshi blushed, it seemed more like a guilty conscience and not telling himself.

He was sweating profusely on his forehead, and slowly calmed down, looking at the courtiers arguing with him in the palace and Lu Ciheng, who seemed to be leading him all the time without saying a few words, felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. Know what you are talking about and where you are.

He felt as if he had stepped into a trap step by step. The words of Wei Boran and Lu Ciheng were weird and strange, and every sentence seemed to be fine. They didn't say anything, but Lu Qingzhi's own reaction had already put him out of bed. It must be dead.

Lu Qingshi felt terrible, as if someone had predicted his behavior, words and choices, so he set up a set for him, one link after another, but he didn't know from which step he started to make mistakes, and then Maybe he didn't realize it, and every sentence was wrong.

He stood numbly, and heard the indignant voice of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, "His Royal Highness, as an examiner, bends the law for personal gain, helps others cheat and take the exam, and after the incident, treats human life as worthless, kills people, and deceives the emperor. For infidelity; in order to preserve one's reputation, to shirk responsibility, to falsely frame Shen Taifu, this is injustice. How can such an unfaithful and unrighteous person take on the great responsibility of the country?!"

His voice lingered in the empty hall for a long time, and a bony hand stretched out from the airtight curtain. Seeing this, Zhang Ling quickly handed over the pen and paper.

Wei Boran on the side refused to let go, and slammed a heavy hammer, "The emperor was ignorant of the villain, and he did such a perverse act. Instead of stopping the persuasion, His Highness allowed it to develop. Isn't it true that you can't tell right from wrong, good from evil?" Regardless, you will be crown prince in vain!"

"I implore the emperor to cancel the blood sacrifice and order the release of the people. Don't chill the hearts of the good ministers in the world. I also ask the emperor to properly deal with the troubled candidates and give them an explanation. Don't chill the hearts of the students in the world!"

Lu Chengjing behind the curtain held a pen and wrote very slowly. The hall was silent. After a long time, Zhang Ling frowned and read out Lu Chengjing's will with a heavy expression.

"—The prince has lost his moral character, and he will be deposed immediately."

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were in an uproar, and Lu Qingzhi sat down even more dejectedly.

At this time, abolishing the crown prince can calm down the matter of the candidates for this exam. Lu Chengjing avoids the important and ignores the matter of taking blood for worship, and shifts the focus. He does not hesitate to abolish Lu Qingshi as the prince. Keep going.

At this time, Lu Chengjing just regarded Lu Qingshi as a shield, and it was unexpected and reasonable to abolish the prince.

Shen Mingan could see the ups and downs of the officialdom for so many years, and most of the courtiers could also see it.

Lu Qingshi still struggled needlessly. He snatched the paper from Zhang Ling's hand and muttered to himself, "Father wouldn't treat me like this."

He put the paper in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully, and suddenly said sharply: "This is not the father's handwriting!"

Lu Qingshi rushed up and wanted to lift the curtain, but was stopped by Zhang Ling first, "Your Majesty has difficulty in moving, slow in writing, and it is normal for the handwriting to be different from before. Besides, Your Majesty can't see the wind now. If the dragon If the body is injured, who will bear the blame?"

Seeing Lu Qingzhi's hesitation, Zhang Ling turned around and said to the guards: "The emperor is not in good health today, so hurry up and take the deposed prince down."

No one helped him, even Wei Boran and others just sighed and shook their heads when they saw his behavior.

Lu Qingshi looked blankly at the people in the hall, and his gaze finally fell on Lu Ciheng's smiling amber eyes with his head tilted slightly. There seemed to be an answer ready to come out, but before he could speak, he was taken away from the hall.
