"presumptuous."
A scolding sounded.
The saint suddenly stood up from the dragon chair. His crowns shook continuously and collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
At this time, the saint became furious and said angrily: "The prince is the foundation of the country, how can he touch him lightly?"
"This is just a one-sided statement. There is no conclusive evidence. You dare to advocate deposing the crown prince."
"Wang Changgong, what are your intentions?"
"You are bullying the young prince."
The saint was as angry as a bull. He was very emotional at this time, completely devoid of any emotions, and completely showed the attitude of an old father protecting his calf.
King Chen knelt down on the ground calmly, took off his official hat himself, placed his hands on the ground, his forehead already touching the bright red carpet, and said in a deep voice: "I am loyal to Your Majesty and to Great Zhou."
"The prince stole the six seals and framed Zhongliang. The evidence is conclusive. He has lost the hearts of the world. How can a man with such loss of morality be a king?"
"Think of Chen Guogong, Qizhou slaying the dragon, bravely seizing the Black Water Pass, and solving the case of the Spirit Clan mission. One after another, they are all major cases that shocked all races in the world."
"Chen Guogong was fiercely loyal, for the great Zhou Dynasty and for the human race. He was on the verge of despair several times and put life and death aside. Only then was he able to make great achievements one after another and accomplish feats that were unprecedented and unprecedented."
"Chen Guogong is a human hero recognized by the world, and these heroes who protect the clan did not die in the hands of the enemy. Today they almost died in the hands of their own people."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's actions have suppressed public anger. He has lost the popularity of the people in the world and is not worthy of being a king."
"For the sake of the great Zhou Dynasty and the great cause of our human race, I ask you to depose the prince."
"I ask you to depose the prince."
This was like a signal. At this time, many ministers had already taken the initiative to come out and began to speak one after another. In the blink of an eye, all the members of the Jin Wang Party had spoken.
The prince's face turned pale. He looked at the many ministers kneeling on the ground, especially the official hat next to King Chen. It was extremely dazzling. In order to increase his power, the other party took off his official hat. This was completely a waste of time. .
This is using his official position to increase his power.
It is a unique honor in the world for a person who is in charge of six military agencies and is regarded as the minister of the cabinet to break up like this.
At the level of the cabinet minister, even if they fight with each other, they still retain the last bit of dignity, and many things will not be done to perfection. It is like a battle between gods and demons. After just one fight, even if you have the upper hand, you can still be considered a victory. .
There is rarely a real fight, otherwise there are so many gods and demons, and a few would die in a fight. Now they would have died long ago. Even for many things, the gods and demons like to let the third-level gods and demons fight, and they are in ordinary struggles. The scale is controllable, you can interfere at will, and there is no danger.
Dou Changsheng was like a bystander, watching this scene calmly.
But in his heart he knew that the prince was finished.
Ever since he had a conversation with the saint and learned a lot about Da Zhou's messy affairs, Dou Changsheng knew that this scene would happen sooner or later. If the prince wanted to ascend to the throne, normal means would no longer be possible.
The only way for the prince is to rebel and ascend to the throne. If he wants to ascend the throne by virtue of his status as heir, others are not allowed.
Otherwise, if the saint loses his virtue, it is normal for the saint to abdicate and the prince to succeed. However, a fight for the right to inherit the throne happened, and the princes began to take action.
What a ridiculous result.
The prince has become the target of public criticism. Several former emperors, Taizong and Gaozong, are secretly watching. The king of Jin is eyeing him with eager eyes. The saint is not a peaceful guy.
This single force is not as good as the princelings.
After the saint lost his virtue, the prince gained great righteousness, and the princelings began to expand, and their strength has surpassed any force. However, facing the alliance of all forces, the princelings are no match for them.
Moreover, because the princelings expanded so fast, they were mixed, and many of them had ulterior motives. The biggest heretic among them was Lu Fang, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Don't say that the prince did not expect that even Dou Changsheng did not expect that the Ministry of Rites was the prince's biggest supporter. The Minister of Rites and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites must be the prince's pillars, but such an important minister actually turned against him.
What is this Lu Fang trying to do?
Everyone knows that when Lu Fang betrays the prince, he loses his popularity.
No matter what the Minister of Rites has in mind, his butt determines his head. He sits on the etiquette and laws, so he must abide by the etiquette and laws. For the Ministry of Rites, the prince is the greatest in the world.
Even if Lu Fang succeeds in backstabbing, there will be no benefit, but his reputation will be ruined.
And now this Lu Fang, not only has his character corrupted, but also wants to sacrifice his own life and drag the prince along with him.
Death warrior.
Dou Changsheng could only think this way.
Dou Changsheng's eyes showed suspicion, and he even suspected that the Lu Fang in front of him was fake and was disguised by someone else. This was a very simple disguise in the extraordinary world, a low-level human skin mask, and more advanced ones such as Ye Wumian's ever-changing appearance.
Dou Changsheng watched with cold eyes and did not join the team that shouted to kill the prince. Dou Changsheng knew that there would be no results today. The prince is the crown prince and the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty. He has been the prince for too long. If it were not for the current situation of great changes in the world, .
If you want to depose the prince, it is simply a dream, even a saint cannot do it.
The prince's prestige is not low, and all the ministers in the cabinet will speak up to protect the prince. But today is different from the past. The cabinet is missing two people, three are inactive, and there are only four in total who can take charge of the family.
One of them stated that among the remaining three, Lu Tianen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, would definitely express his opinion. General Yang Kaitai would not necessarily express his opinion, but as long as Lu Tianen spoke, Yang Kaitai would definitely agree. The situation was determined, and Xu Changqing, as the chief assistant, would not directly veto it. , I am afraid that I will agree with it.
But this is the second court meeting, or even the third time.
The deposed prince is bound to make a quarrel after all, and the saint has to make pretentious gestures no matter what.
Even if he is extremely happy in his heart, he still has to play the trick of asking for three times and resigning three times, even if it is the deposed prince. Today is to build momentum, let out the wind, and prepare for other ministers.
The court meeting ended in vain, and Dou Changsheng received countless comforting words. In order to appease people's hearts, the saint also gave many rewards, such as mansions, palace maids, spiritual fields, etc., a series of rewards to calm Dou Changsheng.
After seeing the saint's reward end, I want to end this discussion.
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites finally found an opportunity, took the initiative to take two steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty."
"The frame-up of Chen Guogong is absolutely false. Now someone is framing His Highness the Crown Prince. I suspect that Mr. Lu has disappeared a long time ago. The person who is now in the court is a fake."
The princelings who kept refuting the quarrels with the Jin royal party were refreshed after hearing this sentence.
This Lu Fang rebelled too quickly, and he was suspected to be a dead soldier, but Lu Fang would not get any benefit at all from doing so, especially since Lu Fang in the past was so magnanimous and elegant, and those who had known each other in the past were all heartbroken by his magnanimity. Not this kind of person who betrays the Lord.
They suspected that Lu Fang was fake. Not only did they suspect it, but the saints at this time also suspected it, and the Jin royal party also suspected it.
Lu Fang's reputation in the official circles was very good. Even if he was in a different camp, they all praised Lu Fang's virtue. The fact that Lu Fang was able to hold the vacancy in the Ministry of Rites and temporarily take charge of the Ministry of Rites showed his character and integrity.
If Lu Fang hadn't been weaker, Lu Fang would have been able to serve as Minister of Rites after Du Beiyuan became official.
After the right minister of the Ministry of Rites spoke, someone from the Jin royal party immediately jumped out and said: "Master Lu is an important minister of the country. Who in the world dares to pretend to be Master Lu."
"Such rhetoric is truly ridiculous."
"Yes, just like a three-year-old child, can't we see clearly whether it is true or false?"
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites ignored the words of the Jin royal party. He looked at Xu Changqing, who was sitting silently, and shouted loudly: "Xu Chief Fu."
"If today's fake can successfully frame His Highness the Crown Prince, tomorrow someone will pretend to be another important minister and directly frame His Highness the King of Jin. If this happens, the country will be ruined."
Xu Changqing stood up for the first time, stood up and bowed to the saint and said: "Lu Fang, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, speaks categorically. I have not seen the evidence yet. It is difficult for me to evaluate whether it is true or false."
"But if it's true or false, you have to verify the authenticity."
Lu Fang listened to these words, sneered and said: "You are so disappointing. If you don't like it, you think it is fake."
"If you want to verify it, you verify it."
"The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real."
Looking at the confident Lu Fang, many people who had doubts had no doubts anymore. This Lu Fang was true, but some verification was indispensable.
After a complex verification process, including blood testing, breath testing, physical examination, and various complicated methods, as long as the princeling could come up with a clear method, all of them were verified once. The final result was obvious, there was nothing wrong with Lu Fang.
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites turned pale and looked at this scene in disbelief. It turned out to be real. This was even more uncomfortable than if it were fake.
After seeing the result, the saint flicked his sleeves without saying a word and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
King Chen personally escorted Lu Fang towards the outside of the imperial city. Lu Fang was to be detained at Liumen Dabo until the next interrogation.
A prison car was already located outside the imperial city.
The prison car was sealed up and down, so tightly that no one could see clearly inside.
Lu Fang personally stepped into the prison car and watched as the prison car was closed and completely darkened.
With a creak, the prison cart was slowly pulled by the horses and began to move towards the six doors.
A kind of voyeuristic princelings are heading towards the East Palace one after another. Today is destined to be a sleepless night. The princelings gather together, the Jin royal party also gathers together, and all the forces are gearing up.
A group of strong men with six doors were guarding the prison car as it drove through the wide streets of Shendu.
Wisps of light appeared inside the prison car. After a simple sketch, the outline of a person had appeared. After the light emerged, the figure inside the prison car had been illuminated, but it was two identical Lu Fangs, sitting opposite each other.
The clothes, appearance, and behavior of both parties are all exactly the same.
King Chen looked at the two Lord Lu with cold eyes, and said calmly: "I can't think of why Lord Lu acted as a dead man. I thought that Lord Lu was caught, but the real reason is that Lord Lu is too ambitious. Over the years, Integrity and honesty are all disguises.”
"I wonder if it is His Majesty Taizong or His Majesty Gaozong who is secretly seeking refuge?"
"Half of the kingdoms of the Great Zhou Dynasty were conquered by His Majesty Taizong, and it was His Majesty Taizong who developed the Great Zhou Dynasty to its peak. Among all the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only His Majesty Taizong was able to reverse the decline, quell the Jiazi Rebellion and complete the revival."
The two spoke together, with the same voice and the same movements, as if there was a mirror standing beside them.
King Chen snorted coldly. He didn't know whether he believed or disbelieved these words. He did not delve into the words, but went straight to the core and said: "You want to kill two birds with one stone, first depose the prince, and then directly depose him." King Jin."
Lu Fang slowly said: "As expected, I can't hide it from King Chen. With your sharp eyes, you will definitely be able to see the clues. It is the biggest variable in the plan. That's why I took the initiative to ask King Chen for help and attack the Crown Prince and King Jin together."
"Now that King Chen has helped King Wuxiang replace me, the plan has been half successful. The prince will be deposed soon. After the prince is deposed and expelled from the capital of God, King Wuxiang's disguise will be exposed. King Wuxiang will collude with King Jin. , the incident of framing the prince breaks out, and the King of Jin will also be deposed."
King Chen said coldly: "No more."
"Your ruined reputation can be saved. You, Lu Fang, never betrayed the prince from beginning to end. You were imprisoned by King Jin. When King Jin falls, you will be rescued by King Jin. This will naturally happen. Restore your reputation."
"You successfully removed yourself from this incident, and you are still a famous minister praised by the world."
King Chen continued to speak: "There are some risks for King Wuxiang in this matter, but I know that Bai Xiaosheng of Tianji Pavilion is also connected with His Majesty Taizong, so the treasure of Tianji Paper Man has now been taken by Wuxiang. The king is in charge."
"The guy in front of me should be the Tianji Paper Man."
"Speaking of which, compared to the previous generation of Wuxiang King, this generation of Wuxiang King is really cautious. The Tianji Paper Man is a pearl that has gone dark in the hands of Bai Xiaosheng."
King Wuxiang laughed, looked at King Chen in front of him and said, "My master told me with his life that if you want to live a long time, you should never let others know your true identity."
"I didn't even dare to show up in front of Dou Changsheng, and now I'm even more afraid to see Prince Chen."
"This time, His Majesty Taizong sincerely invited you, and Bai Xiaosheng also paid the Tianji paper figurine as a reward. From then on, this treasure will be under my control. Of course, I will do my best to share the worries for His Majesty Taizong."
"Speaking of which, why didn't Dou Changsheng get involved this time? I want to repay Dou Changsheng well."
King Chen frowned, and Lu Fang shook his head directly and said: "Don't make any extraneous matters. I took the lead this time because I didn't want Dou Changsheng to attack the prince first. At that time, Dou Changsheng was about to attack me outside the city of God."
"With King Chen and King Jin at that time, Dou Changsheng could not escape at all. He must have been completely sure that he would not die and could launch an attack on the prince if he dared to take action."
"For this reason, I had to expose the Emperor's Seal in advance and make this plan a little rougher. In order to control the situation, this time we will drive the Crown Prince and King Jin out of the capital together. What we want is that there will be no winner."
"Instead of a winner in the battle for the right to inherit the throne, the King of Jin will take the throne."
"The most important thing now is to drive the Crown Prince and the King of Jin away from the capital of God, and everything else is just a side detail."
"I am loyal to Zhou Chidan, and it is also for their own good. If I leave now, I can save my life, but if I continue to stay in the capital of the gods, I am afraid that I will die without a complete body."
"Dou Changsheng is a rather evil person."
"It's better not to touch it or not to touch it."
