Chapter 278 This unfortunate son must be abandoned (Update 2)

Lu Chengtian was so angry that he threw the memorial in his hand, and it fell on the table with a thud.

"Wasting your mind?"

"Overworked?"

Dequan was frightened and knelt down, "Your Majesty, that's what Dean Jiang said."

Lu Chengtian said in a bad tone: "What did the prince waste his mind on?"

"Is it because I always think about what to eat for the next meal, and I think about it too many times, so I wasted my mind?"

Dequan suppressed his laughter and looked at the floor. Well, the palace maids cleaned very carefully today, and the floor was very clean.

"Overworked?"

"What has the prince done? He didn't even leave the capital to provide disaster relief! And he didn't attend the morning court, the Ministry of Revenue, or the Shangshufang classes! How is he tired?"

"Did he play with the fur too much and play with the mud too much, so he's tired?"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Dequan couldn't hold back the smile in his heart, so he could only pretend to cough to cover it up, because the emperor was angry.

"I want to see how sick he is, or if he is pretending to be sick to be lazy!"

Lu Chengtian really didn't approve the memorials, nor did he call for the carriage. He went to the East Palace with such anger.

The East Palace was very lively.

Hearing that the prince had invited the doctor again, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince all came.

The four of them brought medicinal materials to visit their brother.

During this period, the Second Prince has been quietly rectifying the administration of officials, and he has been doing it vigorously.

Because some low-ranking officials can now pass the examinations, some miscellaneous subjects in the Imperial Academy have also flourished, especially mathematics, which is definitely a required subject for low-ranking officials.

As for chemistry, it can only be said that everything is still in its infancy, and it will take a long time to develop.

However, the Second Prince is very confident about this.

His current status in the hearts of students is absolutely top-notch, and this is all thanks to the Crown Prince's strategies. Now, the Second Prince admires the young Crown Prince very much.

When he heard that he was sick again, he immediately brought the top-quality old mountain ginseng in the palace.

"The weather is so cold. With your health condition, why don't you stay at home and take care of yourself instead of attending the morning court?"

Lu Zexu held a handkerchief in one hand and coughed lightly a few times. "It has nothing to do with the morning court. It's my father who scared me."

"Father actually wants me to be in charge of military supplies and rations! How can I do that? Isn't this delaying military operations?"

Now, not only the second prince, but several other princes were also very dissatisfied with Lu Chengtian's decision.

The second prince frowned, "Father knows that you are not in good health, how can he let you work so hard?"

The fourth prince had a blank expression, "There are many ministers in the court, why choose the sixth brother?" The

fifth prince, who was calculating and becoming increasingly irritable, was filled with righteous indignation, "Are all the officials in Daliang useless? It is freezing cold in the northwest at this time, and the prince who just turned 13 is being made to work hard! What's the use of these people?"

The third prince, who had already seen the true face of the little prince, felt the suspicious eyes of many brothers, and subconsciously explained, "Father should be building momentum for the sixth brother. As the crown prince, the sixth brother must make achievements and establish a career to be loved by the people and convinced by the officials."

The little prince's pupils shrank slightly. This third brother is really his nemesis!

No matter how he pretends to be pitiful and flatters him!

The remaining three nodded in agreement. The young prince said quickly, "Could it be that the emperor wants me to have an accident on the way to escort the grain? It would be best if I died, so that he can legitimately change the crown prince?"

Damn it!

The third prince's eyes widened suddenly. In terms of courage, it was still the sixth prince. Could he say this openly?

However, no one would believe such an outrageous guess, right?

The fifth prince asked doubtfully, "Change the crown prince, who? Who does the emperor want to be the crown prince, the seventh prince?"

The fourth prince thought, "It's possible. The emperor loves the seventh prince the most."

The second prince also nodded, "It's possible." The

third prince was speechless. What happened to his brothers? Did they all get tricked by the crown prince?

"No, Third Brother, what's with that expression on your face? Are we wrong?" The Second Prince was quick to notice his contempt and ridicule. The Third Prince

sighed, "Even if Father wanted to change the Crown Prince, he wouldn't use this method! Besides, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!"

The Little Prince saw that the Third Prince was messing with him again, and he coughed several times in quick succession, "Cough, cough, cough! Third Brother, don't forget, there is no father and son in the royal family, and being with the emperor is like being with a tiger!"

The Third Prince was silent.

Indeed, there is no father and son in the royal family.

Otherwise, how could he study so hard since he was a child in order to get the attention of his father?

The second prince was already the number one prince, and he boasted, "Sixth brother, you are right. Who knows what the emperor is thinking? Is he senile? Sixth brother, you can't take the job of escorting grain and fodder."

The fourth prince also agreed with this point, "The emperor has always doted on the noble concubine and her son over the years. It's not the first time that he has been blinded by lust. Sixth brother, you must not go to escort the grain and fodder, and you must pay attention to your safety in the future." The

fifth prince was made irritable by the accounts, and he said bluntly, "Sixth brother, just recuperate in the East Palace. Whoever wants to take this job can give it to them! The emperor is getting more and more stupid, and he has been fooled around by the seventh prince and his son."

For a moment, the princes talked one after another and listed all the ways Lu Chengtian favored the noble concubine and the seventh prince over the years.

While feeling sad for himself, he also felt sorry for the prince.

After all, they didn't have the care and love of their father, they still had their mother, but the prince only had himself.

The prince's younger brother was too miserable!

No, the prince couldn't bear this grievance!

The little prince felt that the atmosphere was almost settled and it was time to move on to the next step.

He was about to speak and get to the point.

He saw Lu Chengtian push the door open, with a faint smile but a monstrous rage. He had been standing outside the hall for a quarter of an hour and heard their suspicions and complaints about him clearly.

"I really didn't know that you were so dissatisfied with me."

Everyone looked at him and their faces turned pale.

All the princes knelt on the ground, "Father, please forgive me!"

Only the little prince was still lying in bed, and his weak character must not fall!

Lu Chengtian was really angry with this group of rebellious sons.

"Am I old and confused?"

The second prince kept silent.

"Am I, blinded by lust?"

The fourth prince dared not say a word.

"Am I old and stupid?"

The fifth prince was too scared to move.

Lu Chengtian looked at the third prince in anger.

"Father, please forgive me, the brothers are just too worried about the prince!" The third prince brought the topic to the little prince. If you want to be scolded, let's all be scolded together!

The main point is that everyone is scolded in unison, without leaving anyone behind.

Lu Chengtian also looked at the instigator on the bed.

Who knew that Lu Zexu's eyes were closed, his breathing was weak, and the corners of his mouth were still bleeding.
