Chapter 582: Lu Chengtian, who is only handsome for a second (Update 2)

As soon as he finished speaking, the little prince had already walked in front of Lu Liang.

The nervous Lu Liang knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness said is not true. I hope Your Majesty will be able to see through everything and clear my name!"

The little prince chuckled a few times, "You say it's gone? There is no smoke without fire. If Lord Lu is really upright, how could there be such rumors?"

Lu Liang was so upset that he almost died. The little prince returned all the accusations he had just made. As the saying goes, using magic to defeat magic, the little prince has already used the fire to perfection.

Lu Liang could only continue to kowtow, and every word he said was shed with tears, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Daliang. Since I entered the imperial court, I have been working very hard, fearing that I would fail to repay your grace. I have never accepted bribes. Please understand."

The little prince took a breath, looked at the blood on Lu Liang's forehead, and couldn't help but take two steps back. It hurt to look at it. Yes, he is a ruthless person.

"The self-torture trick is useless. Your Majesty is cold-blooded and ruthless, with a heart as hard as a rock. How could he soften his heart just because you kowtowed a few times and shed a little blood?"

Lu Chengtian, who was sitting on the upper seat: Why does it sound like a bad word? Did this unlucky son just scold me?

Lu Liang already regretted it, why did he have to be so unsteady and confront the prince?

If he had known this, he would not have bothered with the mansion and the farm!

The little prince smiled and asked, "Lord Lu, do you still insist that I have colluded with the Red Lotus Sect?"

What else can Lu Liang say?

The boomerang pierced his body, and he felt the pain.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. This is my fault. I did not find out the truth and find evidence, but I just followed the crowd.

This is wrong." Lu Liang was really scared this time.

The prince's nonsense and entangled tricks, giving him a taste of his own medicine, really made people unable to resist.

The ministers thought that Lu Liang's impeachment would end like this. After all, even they couldn't think of a way to deal with the crown prince who didn't play by the rules and didn't fear losing face.

But who knew that Lu Liang's stubborn temper was not just talk. In terms of stubbornness, he was definitely the best.

"Your Highness, I heard that Your Highness and the Fourth Prince improved the loom, which can increase the speed of weaving to four or five times the original speed, causing the price of cloth to plummet. Many cloth merchants went bankrupt, their families were broken up, and their wives and children were separated."

Lu Liang stared at the little prince with a scorching gaze, emitting a cold light. "Your Highness, for your own selfishness, in order to make money, you have created such a tragedy. I wonder if Your Highness has any regrets in your heart?"

The little prince curled up his lips and smiled. "You said I did it for my own selfish reasons? You said I and my fourth brother improved the loom just to make money?"

Lu Liang was extremely frightened, but he still forced himself not to retreat, "Your Highness, please destroy the improved loom immediately and leave a way out for the cloth merchants in the world!"

The little prince was silent, and a strong sense of fatigue surged in his heart.

Thinking of his study and memorization in the small supermarket; thinking of his fourth brother and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry working day and night to experiment; looking at Lu Liang's indignant expression.

He suddenly felt that all his efforts were meaningless.

He tried hard to make Daliang better, to make the people of Daliang live better, and to make everyone well fed and clothed. However, the loom they had worked so hard to improve was considered extremely evil in the eyes of these officials!

The little prince was somewhat disheartened. He turned around and looked at the emperor who was high above him.

"What does your father think? Should we burn the loom that my son, my fourth brother, and many craftsmen from the Ministry of Works spent three months to finally make?"

At this moment, Lu Chengtian trembled in his heart and suddenly smiled.

"Pass on my decree, Crown Prince, Fourth Prince, and craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, who have worked tirelessly and bravely, and gone through untold hardships, have finally made a new type of loom that increases the weaving speed, reduces the difficulty of weaving, drives down the price of cloth, and benefits the poor people. In the long run, no one in the world will freeze to death due to lack of cloth and clothes, which is a great good. When you all return to Beijing, I will reward you based on your merits."

"Long live the emperor!"

Lu Chengtian's decree determined the nature of the matter.

He is the master of the world, and what he sees and thinks about is much more than these officials.

Lu Liang's body, which had just been straight, suddenly relaxed, and a sense of despair instantly surged into his heart.

He knew that he was finished.

He had been an official for many years, and he had a deep understanding of his duties. It was his responsibility to supervise and impeach all officials. No

matter how high the official position was, he could write a letter to impeach him.

Not to mention the crown prince, even if it was the emperor, if he did something inappropriate, he would die to advise him.

As long as he was doing it for the country and the people, as long as he was doing it for the righteousness of the world, as long as he did not contradict the most fundamental policy of the emperor.

He would not be liquidated.

But this time, his policy was at two completely different ends from the emperor's.

Lu Chengtian looked at Lu Liang, "Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are all common people of Daliang. Lu Liang, you only saw that several cloth merchants in Jiangnan went bankrupt, why didn't you see that more common people could afford clothes because of the cheapness of cloth, and could also afford a set of cotton-padded clothes in winter? So that they would not freeze to death?"

Lu Liang knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty is wise, and it is I who am stupid and short-sighted."

"No, Lord Lu, you won the imperial examinations ten years ago and were the top scholar appointed by me. How could you be stupid?"

Lu Chengtian retorted in a deep voice, "Lord Lu has been in officialdom for a long time and has forgotten that he was once a commoner. All he sees are the nobles and wealthy merchants, and he only remembers the interests of the nobles and wealthy merchants. He has forgotten the ambition he made when he was young to serve the people, petition for the people, and benefit the people. "

Lü Liang suddenly recalled the unfair treatment he encountered when he was a student. He was bullied by the children of noble families and looked down upon by the powerful and wealthy businessmen.

At that time, he had secretly vowed to serve the people as an official, benefit the people, and protect the area.

Suddenly, tears flowed from his eyes, and Lu Liang smiled miserably.

It turned out that over the years, he had become the kind of official he once hated the most.

He has strayed far away from his preset path.

Lu Liang kowtowed and saluted again, "Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, and cares about the people. It is a blessing for the people of Daliang to have a crown prince like Your Highness."

The little prince: "..."

Isn't this kneeling too thoroughly?

Are all of you so unsteady?

Changing your mind so quickly is not good, is it?

Lu Liang looked at Lu Chengtian who was sitting on the upper throne again, "Your Majesty, I am a sinner with short-sightedness and unforgivable crimes. Please consider the past and let my family go."

Lu Chengtian looked at Lu Zexu and said leisurely, "You should ask the crown prince about this."

The young crown prince, who just thought his old father was still a little reliable, "..."

Thinking of the crown prince whose property was confiscated like a swarm of locusts, Lu Liang was desperate.
