His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 41 The Solitary Gift
Everyone is looking forward to it,

There was no movement at the gate of the hall for a long time.

The smile on Mrs. Lu's face was even more kind. He looked at the prince, as if he was laughing at this ignorant child who bared his teeth and claws in front of the adults.

He will teach his student a good lesson, let him know what it means to hit a stone with a pebble, and not to overestimate one's abilities!
The prince lowered his eyes and remained silent, with the same calm expression on his face, just standing there quietly.

The palace lanterns of the entire hall seemed to be concentrated on him alone.

An elegant gentleman, independent of the world.

King Yi saw that the eyes of all the people in the hall were attracted by the prince, especially those noble girls, their eyes shone brightly, and they smiled shyly from time to time.

He couldn't help but sneered, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"An empty show! Tsk, they're all short-sighted!"

Beside him, Princess Yi heard his words and stared at the back of his head.

Her husband, with Wu's backing and the queen mother's backing, is the No. 1 prince among the princes.

She is quite clever on weekdays, but she cannot meet the prince.

But she can also understand that some people have the right time and place from birth, and they don't need to ask for what they want, and someone will deliver it to him.

King Yi boasted that he was both civil and military, and he did not lose to the prince in everything, but he was born in the wrong birth, so he had to fight for everything by himself.

So it is understandable for him to be jealous and unhappy.

Concubine Yi watched what happened in the palace like watching a play. The prince and his teacher dog-eat-dog, it had nothing to do with her.

As time passed, many corners of the hall had begun to whisper.

"What kind of gift is this, why is it taking so long..."

"That's right, it's been a long time since I submitted it."

The smile on Mrs. Lu's face deepened, and it was rare for her to take a sip of the wine that had not been touched all night on the table.

Even Lu Junyi, who has always been timid, gloated in his eyes.

but--

Suddenly there was a rustling sound outside the hall.

A group of ragged and dirty people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall.

The soldiers guarding the gate blocked people at the door, and the people in the hall were also in an uproar.

Taifu Lu's complexion changed, and he looked at his eldest son.

The few tables that are close, such as Chen Yanzhi, can already smell the charming smell emanating from them.

"Who is this... who is this?"

"What kind of dignity is this! What kind of dignity! Let these refugees enter my Dajing's palace!"

"Where is the imperial army! Quickly, drive these refugees out!"

The people in the hall were more anxious than their emperor, shouting for the Imperial Forest Army to take these people down.

But the Imperial Forest Army just stopped people and didn't let them into the hall.

Xiao Ze, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, came into the palace to ask His Majesty for instructions.

"The person who came here held the East Palace token and asked to face the saint, and the minister sent someone to escort him to the Taiji Hall!"

So everyone's eyes focused on the prince.

The emperor looked at his prince with a half-smile:

"Is this the great gift the crown prince gave me?"

Neither humble nor overbearing, the prince replied loudly, "Exactly!"

"What kind of gift is this?"

"This bunch of messy refugees, what is the prince doing?"

"It's a good Duanyang Festival, it's not proper to bring a group of refugees to the main hall..."

Just as the ministers were discussing, the prince turned around, knelt down slowly towards His Majesty, who was seated above him, and knelt down.

"My son, join the Lu family of Fanyang, sell officials and nobles, enclose land and hermits, disregard human life!"

His voice was not loud.

But everyone in the hall heard it.

Everyone seemed to be strangled, and the discussion stopped abruptly.

They looked at each other, as if they wanted to confirm if there was something wrong with their ears.

Prince, what is he talking about?
He wants to join the Fan Yang Lu family?Want to read a copy of your own teacher?
Or at a time like today?

The smile finally disappeared from the emperor's face. He looked at the prince kneeling in front of him with heavy eyes,
"Prince, do you know what you are doing!"

"Return to father, sons and ministers joined Fanyang Lu's family, sold officials and nobles, enclosed land and hermits, and neglected human lives! Please find out the truth clearly, and return more than 130 people in Baijia Village, Mao County, and those innocent people who died tragically!"

The prince knelt there, but the aura around him was not inferior to that of King Yi who was standing below him.

King Yi stood up and said angrily, "His Royal Highness, please speak carefully! Even if there is no evidence, it is worthy of today's feast?"

Hearing this, the prince silently took out a stack of "evidence" from his sleeve.

"This is the testimony of the only twelve remaining members of the Bai family who were murdered in Mao County, as well as the testimony of the thirteen families whose land was occupied."

King Yi sneered, "Testimonies? The King is willing to do this, let alone ten copies, even a hundred copies!"

He spoke of the forged testimony in a fair and aboveboard manner without any concealment, even his father coughed twice.

"That's right, Prince, the evidence for this testimony is not sufficient. After all, the Taifu is your mentor..."

The emperor said to the prince with a face of embarrassment.

The prince glanced at the smile on his face and disappeared, and even the blue-faced Grand Tutor Lu bowed respectfully to the emperor,
"Please invite the witnesses outside the Emperor's Grace Palace to enter!"

The emperor looked at the people kneeling outside the hall, but did not immediately agree.

He was silent and said:
"Prince, get up first, the ground is cold."

The prince was kind, got up from the ground, and lightly brushed off the non-existing dust on his robe.

King Yi: "..."

God damn it's cold on the ground, it's already early summer and it's still cold!

A big man chirped like a delicate flower.

"Also invite the royal father's witnesses to enter the palace!"

The prince asked again.

At this time, Mrs. Lu, who was sitting under Prime Minister Cui, suddenly turned red, and sat there holding his chest and gasping for breath.

Wu Qiao was half awake from the wine, and when he saw this, he scolded the prince in court:

"The prince is really good! Talking nonsense, forging a few confessions at random, and finding a few refugees to disobey and frame the teacher, and make his teacher who taught him become so angry!"

The prince's face remained unchanged, he waved his hand, and Xiao Yuanzheng, who had been waiting on the side earlier, walked towards Taifu Lu with someone.

"Hey, Rang Rang, Rang Rang, the imperial doctor is saving lives!"

Seeing his father like this, even Lu Junyi didn't dare to stop him.

A person beside Xiao Yuanzheng took out a gold needle from his sleeve pocket, and after a few stitches, Taifu Lu's breathing gradually calmed down, and the redness on his face also faded a bit.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But I heard the prince say again: "Father, Taifu Lu is a lonely mentor, and I don't want Taifu's family to suffer innocent injustice. Therefore, with the presence of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and even all the officials today, you can also return the Lu family. clean."

All the ministers present:?

What did the prince do tonight?

Doing one's own Taifu in public makes everyone feel extraordinarily... violating harmony?
Like an unsheathed sword suddenly showing its edge overnight?
I am bold.

Will also speak.

The prince repeatedly asked, and Xun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and Zhuang Yuqing of Dali Temple also appeared on the list, saying that the case should not be ignored given the circumstances of the case.

So a good Dragon Boat Festival dinner, where the monarch and ministers enjoyed together, turned into a site for the three divisions to interrogate.

People like refugees suddenly appeared in the magnificent palace, how out of place, and how panicked.

Mao County and even Fan Yang's parents were guarded by officials and officials. They put all their eggs in one basket and decided to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court.

Those villains chased and killed them all the way, and they fled in three ways, but they didn't see anyone else when they arrived in the capital.

When they were found, the man told them that he could help them meet His Majesty, but they thought it was a liar.

Unexpectedly, he actually entered the palace and saw His Majesty.

When Xun Shangshu asked about their birthplaces, names, and why they appeared here.

These people suddenly forgot about their panic and fear, their eyes were so red that they were bleeding, and they scrambled to tell what happened to themselves and their families.

Everything they said was so shocking.

Those who heard it were weeping, and those who heard it were sad.

-

　The prince smiled charmingly: "I don't know if the grand master likes this great gift from Gu?"

　　Taifu clutched his chest: "Ah! I'm so mad!"
