Jinyiwei left, and eunuch Sande arrived immediately and sent several secret reports.
"Your Highness, this is the record of my servant's surveillance of the Ninth Prince."
Lu Chen finally looked carefully.
It records the Ninth Prince's every move yesterday, including what he ate and drank, who he talked to, and even the records of using the toilet.
If the Ninth Prince were asked to recall it, he might not even be able to remember the above details.
After looking at it, Lu Chen frowned and asked San De.
"Everything else is normal, but why does the Ninth Prince go to the Ceremony Supervisor first thing after washing up every morning?"
The Chief of Ceremonies is the emperor's first authority, and he will never allow anyone to interfere with it.
Sande said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the reason why the Ninth Prince goes to the Office of Ceremony every day is because of the order given by Ji Wuyeji, the richest man. In order to allow the Ninth Prince to familiarize himself with state affairs earlier, with His Majesty's consent, the Ninth Prince is allowed to go to the Office of Ceremony every day. Go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to watch the memorial and learn how to handle military and state affairs."
Hearing this, Lu Chen became furious.
"I am the crown prince. I was not allowed to read the memorial of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Instead, I was asked to read it by the Ninth Prince. What, could it be that the emperor of this palace is Ji Wuye?!"
"What he says is better than this prince's words?!"
"Does this Chief of Ceremony still have eyes for this prince?"
San De's body trembled and he said quickly: "Your Highness, please calm down!"
"The ceremonial eunuch, Eunuch Bingbi, and Eunuch Zhangyin, are the confidants of the Queen and Ji Wuye. Together, they have power over the whole government. Even His Majesty has not been able to avoid the spotlight for a while."
"Temporarily avoiding the edge?" Lu Chen snorted coldly: "They are all ministers of Dafeng. They actually want to be above the emperor. They should be punished!"
Sande hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, don't be impulsive! They control the power of the entire Dafeng. Once they are touched... maybe Dafeng will be in chaos in an instant."
"This is why Your Majesty chose to give in."
"Your Majesty is your Majesty, and I am this palace. Why can't they do anything? There are not many other eunuchs in the palace, and there are many eunuchs who are ambitious and want to be in power! This world will not function without anyone!"
After the words fell, Lu Chen snorted coldly: "Go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies!"
"Yes!" San De bowed.
…
now.
Si Li is outside the prison.
The Ninth Prince was dressed in brocade clothes. Although he was still young, he was already quite magnanimous and majestic.
Putting down the memorial in his hand, the Ninth Prince looked at the sky, stood up and walked outside.
"My slave, I would like to send you the Ninth Prince! I will prepare the memorial early tomorrow so that you can study hard."
Eunuch Wang Zhen bowed and said.
The Ninth Prince nodded: "The sooner, the better. Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has supervised the country, I think the memorial is inconsistent with etiquette. If it gets out, it will be troublesome, so we must keep a low profile."
Wang Zhen's face was filled with a flattering smile: "Please rest assured, Ninth Prince, I will definitely handle this matter properly and never let any news leak out! That Prince's Highness is just a useless person who is incompetent in both writing and military affairs. In terms of ability, he can even flatter a horse. I can’t catch up with you, the Ninth Prince! This world of Dafeng will belong to you sooner or later, the Ninth Prince.”
The Ninth Prince's face was calm, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
He had always felt this way, and he had never taken that useless prince seriously.
"Be careful!"
Immediately, he glanced at Wang Zhen and said, "As long as you know these words in your heart, it's fine. If someone knows about it..."
"Snapped!"
Wang Zhen immediately slapped himself: "They are all villains with bad mouths! They are all villains with bad mouths!"
"alright!"
The Ninth Prince snorted, flicked his sleeves and walked outside the Ceremony Supervisor.
"Do your job well, and this prince will not treat you badly in the future."
"yes!"
Wang Zhen's face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
However, just as the Ninth Prince was about to walk out of the Ceremony Prison, a high-pitched shout came from outside.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Ninth Prince Lu Tian's expression suddenly changed.
The expressions of all the eunuchs in the Li Jian also changed drastically.
Before he could react, Lu Chen had strode into the Ceremony Supervisor.
"Crash..."
Everyone in the Ceremony Prison immediately stood up and knelt down to greet him.
"The villain welcomes His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"His Royal Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Lu Tian's heart trembled, and he had no choice but to bow and salute: "My brother, I respectfully welcome His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wang Zhen also knelt down in a hurry, but he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak for a moment.
Lu Chen didn't respond, his eyes swept over the Chief of Ceremonies coldly, and then fell on the Ninth Prince Lu Tian and Wang Zhen.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
He didn't say no courtesy, so no one dared to get up and could only kneel on the ground.
Lu Tian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
After being caught red-handed, he was a little helpless no matter how he explained.
what to do?
He was anxious.
However, Lu Chen ignored him and looked at Wang Zhen and said, "Wang Zhen, are you Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies?"
"Go back to your highness, I am."
Wang Zhen answered extremely respectfully, knowing that Lu Chen might be looking for trouble.
"We sincerely welcome His Highness to the Chief of Ceremonies."
next moment.
Before Wang Zhen could react, Lu Chen suddenly walked up to him and kicked him in the face.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and Wang Zhen screamed and was kicked to the ground, with blood flowing from the corners of his nose and mouth.
But he didn't dare to react. He immediately knelt on the ground respectfully and said tremblingly: "I don't know why, little man, I have offended His Royal Highness. I will definitely change my mind immediately."
Although he was extremely ashamed and angry, he kept his posture extremely low, for fear of being caught by Lu Chen.
"What made me unhappy?"
Lu Chen snorted coldly: "That's easy to say! I have been ordered to supervise the country, and the imperial edict is clearly written. All military and state affairs are left to me to handle. Seeing me as if your Majesty is here in person, you, a little eunuch with a pen, actually openly Disobeying the imperial edict and letting others read the important affairs of the country, have you ever taken this palace seriously?"
"The villain dare not."
Wang Zhen lowered his head even harder, his eyes full of resentment.
As an eunuch with a pen, he covered the sky with one hand in both the government and the public, but he was humiliated in public by Lu Chen, a loser!
"Haha, what else don't you dare to do? If you don't take me seriously now, then you won't take His Majesty seriously!"
"The villain is wronged. Even if His Highness peels off the skin of the villain, the villain would not dare to have such thoughts! Moreover, the memorial was for His Highness the Ninth Prince to read and study, but His Majesty and the Queen gave permission!"
Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and said.
"Why, are you using Your Majesty and the Queen to suppress me?"
Lu Chen sneered: "You slave, you are so courageous!"
"Come on, since this dog slave asked me to skin him off, then I will agree to his request!"
Wang Zhen's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect Lu Chen to dare to play it real!
So crazy? !
