Chapter 378 All officials are working together to target the crown prince (Update 2)

Gao Sheng, the commander of the imperial guards, was worried. An hour had passed, and the imperial guards, the soldiers of the Nine Gates Admiral, and the runners of the Jingzhao prefect had all been sent out, but he still hadn't received any news.

If this continued, the emperor would definitely hold them accountable.

Just when he was feeling anxious, he saw the crown prince and the third prince, who were dressed in coarse linen clothes and strolling around. At

this moment, Gao Sheng really had an impulse to collapse.

The person that so many people were looking for was actually strolling around on the street, and no one noticed!

He hurried to meet them, but considering that the two didn't want others to discover their identities on the street, Gao Sheng didn't perform any formal greetings, but just bowed his hands and bowed.

"Your humble servant has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Rong."

The young crown prince: "Commander Gao, there is no need to be polite. You have worked hard. How is the investigation going? Have you arranged the defenses?" Gao Sheng

was confused. "Investigation? Deployment?"

The young crown prince said as a matter of course, "Aren't you making arrangements in advance for the emperor's trip tomorrow?"

Gao Sheng: "..."

At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

He could only briefly explain Lu Chengtian's order.

Well, there is no need to say anything, just go into the palace and wait to be criticized.

The young crown prince really didn't expect that his father would make such a big move just because he found him and his third brother.

Lu Chengtian was finally relieved to see his two sons standing in front of him unharmed.

Then came the serious question from the soul, "Prince, you have been going too far recently! I didn't say anything to you when you played with mud before, but now, you even like playing with shit? What's wrong with you?"

When the little prince heard it, he immediately understood that this was the sequelae of Dequan's return.

"Your Majesty, I am just doing research." The little prince replied respectfully.

The third prince immediately joined in, "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is right, there is a lot of knowledge here, and if we study it clearly, it will benefit all the people!"

Lu Chengtian's eyes widened: "..."

Is there something wrong with his ears, or is there something wrong with his sons' brains?

"Dequan, summon the abbot of Huguo Temple to the palace!!!"

No, the crown prince and the third prince must have been possessed by evil spirits. We must find a high monk to exorcise them!

Upon hearing this, the youngest crown prince immediately complimented, "Father is still thoughtful. Although the eldest and second brothers have won a great victory and returned in triumph, our Daliang generals still have casualties. It is only right to ask the abbot of Huguo Temple to pray for the souls of these generals."

Lu Chengtian: "..."

He took a deep breath, "I asked the abbot of Huguo Temple to come to the palace to exorcise the evil spirits for you two!"

The youngest crown prince: "????"

The third prince: "!!!!"

The two were very puzzled. How did it come to the point of exorcising evil spirits?

The two spent half an hour explaining that they really were not possessed by evil spirits, and repeatedly stated that they were just making money, not playing.

Only then did Lu Chengtian reluctantly give up the idea of ​​exorcising the two of them.

However, the abbot of Huguo Temple still entered the palace.

Lu Chengtian thought that he could prepare first. If he observed that the prince and the third son showed signs of being possessed by evil spirits, he would immediately let the abbot exorcise the evil spirits.

The next morning,

the prince was undoubtedly impeached again.

The Minister Qian of the Ministry of Revenue took the lead, and it was still the prince who embezzled the rare treasures seized from the house.

Then it was the historian who impeached the prince for improper behavior. No one knew how the prince's hobby of playing with shit got out, and this immediately became the main point of the historian's attack.

The central idea is that the prince lost his mind by playing with toys.

It is this toy that makes people speechless.

These two waves of impeachment were not over yet. The most impeached was that the prince did not care about the lives of the people and actually forced the people to farm.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest.

Food is the foundation of the people. His Royal Highness the prince behaved like this, using the people for fun and doing whatever he wanted. He was not fit for important tasks.

In the morning court, there was nothing else to do, but impeachment of the prince. There was not a single person in the court who spoke for the prince!

It was outrageous!

The prince was so unpopular!

Lu Chengtian couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately summoned the prince to the palace.

He had to solve the problems he had caused himself!

However, this time, the prince still did not appear in the court. The reason was simple: the prince was sick.

Well, the ministers had another reason to depose the prince. The prince was weak and had a short life span. He might not even leave offspring.

How can such a prince be allowed?

Once he ascends the throne, it will easily lead to instability in the court, and may even cause chaos.

Lu Chengtian still suppressed these impeachments.

Fortunately, the army was about to enter the city. Lu Chengtian personally climbed the city wall and led the civil and military officials to welcome them.

The people in the city lined the streets to welcome them.

What a lively scene.

The army returned triumphantly with great momentum.

The next step is naturally to reward the three armies and reward them according to their merits.

Not surprisingly, the eldest prince and the second prince were all promoted to princes, and the throne will be passed down from generation to generation.

If the prince goes one step further, he will be the prince.

The civil and military officials are happy to see this happen.

Looking at the eldest prince and the second prince who have been baptized by the battlefield, they are full of aura and have upright postures, especially the eldest prince, who has a sharp gaze and a lofty bearing.

The officials were very happy. Such an outstanding prince was the future monarch they wanted to serve!

Such a prince should become the crown prince of the country and the master of the Eastern Palace!

The current crown prince was simply unworthy of the position!

When the army returned, the emperor led all the officials to welcome them in person. This battle and this honor were really the first time.

The accompanying Seventh Prince's eyes turned red with jealousy, but he was only 12 years old this year, and it was really not his turn to go into battle and kill the enemy.

The Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince all saw the jealousy in his eyes, and they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly. Little Seven was just this kind of person, it was simply not okay.

The three of them were not jealous of their two brothers at all for having this honor and favor. This was earned by them sleeping in the open air, risking their lives, fighting on the battlefield, and escaping death.

This is what they deserve.

There is nothing to be jealous of.

When the army returned, several princes, except His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all went out of the city to welcome them.

In the minds of all the civil and military officials, the prince is narrow-minded, petty, and jealous of talented people.

Very good, another point to consider.

Just when the entire capital was immersed in the joy of the army's triumphant return, at the morning court the next day, some officials listed the ten crimes of the little prince and requested the emperor to depose the Eastern Palace and establish another virtuous ruler.

It was a huge move, and basically 90% of the officials at the morning court seconded the proposal.

Lu Chengtian took a glance and found that even the Duke of Zhenguo was among the ministers who seconded the proposal. Lu Chengtian felt that the Duke of Zhenguo might be possessed by evil spirits, otherwise, why would he, a relative and the prince's grandfather, agree to depose the prince! Before

the eldest prince and the second prince could figure out what was going on, another minister recommended two people to enter the Eastern Palace.
