Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 40 The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, Waking of Insects! (3000)

The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month.

Qingzhu Palace was as usual, with no changes.

Lu Mingyuan, holding a brush in hand, put down the last stroke and finally finished drawing the rows of paper figures in front of him.

After you become proficient, you will be able to do it easily and it will not be as paper-consuming as it was at the beginning.

After finishing the painting, you will subconsciously look at the dead tree behind your head, as if there is a beautiful figure in a blue robe with snow-like hair, holding the branches with both hands, swinging his feet in the air, and looking up at the sky.

His eyes looked certain, but in fact the treetops were already empty.

Miss Yun has left.

She left the day before yesterday, and when he was still sleeping, there was no farewell, because the other party was a person who didn't like to say goodbye.

Perhaps as Miss Yun said, their friendship was not that deep to begin with. It was just a chance encounter, and there was nothing to feel sad about.

Lu Mingyuan took a deep breath and looked at the palm of his hand. Suddenly, a group of crystal clear blood-colored figures with tiny blood vessels appeared, meditating in the void.

He threw it forward.

The bloody villain and the paper man merge together.

At present, he can only summon five paper figures and one blood glutton at most.

The blood glutton uses his own essence and blood, so he can't fabricate too much now.

But he thought it was enough.

With a single click of the Suzaku pen, all these paper figures come to life.

Compared with the original version, this second-generation paper man has a more refined body, more three-dimensional facial features, can walk freely, and can even use martial arts, with the power to kill an adult man.

Lu Mingyuan glanced around and saw that there was no one around, so he took a piece of mutton from the table and threw it into the body of the gluttonous man.

In the next second, the paper man's body grew stronger and one centimeter taller.

With a thought, it shrank back again.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction and threw all four remaining paper figures on the table into its body.

The blood glutton stretched out his hand to catch them, swallowed them in one gulp, and put them in his stomach. In this way, you can use your clone to control the paper man and do many things that you couldn't do before.

He controlled the blood glutton and headed outside the cold palace.

As a result, as soon as he left the palace, he saw many bright lanterns, Si Jinyi, walking towards the outside of the imperial city.

He quickly followed up, hung it on the inside of a red cloak of a lamp guard, and went out of the palace to find out.

Jin Palace.

The palace was brightly lit, but tonight there were groups of black-armored soldiers surrounding the palace.

Lu Mingyuan followed the Ming Deng Guards to the palace and was surprised when he saw this scene.

"Isn't this Prince Jin's Mansion? I remember it is the territory of the second prince, Lu Guangjing. What is this posture for?"

At this moment, a commander of the Ming Deng Division with a hooked nose and sinister appearance held a golden jade silk and said loudly:
  "After investigation by the Ming Deng Division, it was found that the witchcraft caused a hidden secret. The second prince kept a sorcerer privately, which is quite suspicious. Today, Prince Jin will be imprisoned and will be examined by the Ming Deng Division."

what?
  The second prince was arrested?

Lu Mingyuan was very surprised, even confused.

The Ming Deng Division was fine, so why would they arrest him?

Someone must have given the order behind the scenes, but only the Holy One can control the Ming Deng Division. Now that the Holy One is away, only the cabinet with the power to supervise the country can be called upon.

Today's cabinet is all composed of the eldest prince's party.

In other words, the eldest prince is targeting Lu Guangjing?

Lu Mingyuan watched helplessly as a young man in a black python robe with extremely handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing was invited into the sedan chair.

Is this person Lu Guangjing?
  This was the first time he saw Lu Guangjing's face.

I didn't expect him to be so handsome and his skin is as white as a girl's.

But why didn't he resist?
  Lu Guangjing calmly entered the sedan with the windows locked, his expression indifferent, and he didn't seem to be panicked at all.

Then the Ming Deng Secretary went home and returned to the palace.

Lu Mingyuan wanted to see who was behind the scenes, so he continued to follow the Ming Deng Division to the palace, passing through the Vermillion Gate Corridor and the Garden Hall, passing many palace maids and eunuchs along the way.

In order to prevent the blood glutton's aura from being sensed, he chose to stay away and just eavesdropped outside the door.

Finally, in a guest hall, I saw a majestic middle-aged man wearing a scarlet robe and jade belt.

Seeing this person, Lu Mingyuan suddenly realized.

Cui Qingfeng, the current Minister of Rites, a first-grade bachelor of Wenhua Palace, was the head of the prestigious Cui family.

The Cui family was a supporter of the eldest prince, and it seemed that the eldest prince had secretly signaled.

"Master Cui, we have been captured."

The commander of the Ming Deng Division said respectfully.

After Cui Qingfeng nodded, he looked at another young man in purple python robe who was staring at the window in the hall, smiled slightly and said:

"Your Highness, everything goes well. There is indeed a shadow of a sorcerer from the witch sect who can frame the fault and do some tricks."

Lu Changfeng turned around, in a good mood, and said with a smile on his face: "Very good, I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that the second brother would be defeated by me after all. If the second brother falls, everything will be easy to handle."

Cui Qingfeng raised a question: "Now that the situation is so good, why didn't His Highness declare the Holy Edict and take over the power of supervising the country? After all, the Holy One had already sent back the Holy Edict a few days ago, entrusting you with the great responsibility. If it weren't for you, "Wait a minute, the cabinet has already announced the news."

Lu Changfeng shook his head: "Mr. Qi refused to give in, saying there was something wrong with it." Cui Qingfeng disagreed, "Now that the second prince is no longer a threat to you, it is better to announce the supervision of the country as soon as possible to stop the thoughts of all the princes. It’s a sure win.”

"Qi Xingyan is a great Confucian, he is rich in knowledge, and he is full of economics. However, after all, he has benevolence and righteousness in his heart, and etiquette comes first, so he is still a little hesitant about the struggle in the imperial court."

The power to supervise the country?

When Lu Mingyuan heard this, he had questions in his heart.

Emperor Yong'an actually handed over the power of supervising the country to the eldest prince.

Is it really impossible to train the eldest prince as his heir?
  Lu Changfeng hesitated and said: "After all, Mr. Qi is the head of Shengjing Academy, and he has considerable power behind him. I still need his support."

Cui Qingfeng smiled and said, "Now that your highness has achieved great success, who else among the princes can compete with your highness? Once the news of supervising the country is released, students and scholars from the thirty-six academies in the world will be attracted by it. Come on, when the time comes, will there still be a shortage of Shengjing Academy?"

"It makes sense." Lu Changfeng nodded.

"Mr. Qi is indeed too cautious. If we continue to miss opportunities, I am afraid that the fourth brother, seventh brother, and eighth brother will become a problem."

After careful consideration, Lu Changfeng still felt that taking over the power of supervising the country was the best way.

"From now on, we will announce the supervision of the country."

"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince is here."

His consciousness was interrupted, and Lu Mingyuan's mind slowly returned to Qingzhu Palace.

Seeing Ziyun on duty outside the door, she stepped forward to report.

"Eighth brother? What is he doing here at this time?"

Lu Mingyuan thought in confusion.

"Let him in."

Lu Yunqing, who had always been as gentle as jade and as elegant as a gentleman, now looked anxious. She found Lu Mingyuan, glanced around, Ziyun secretly stepped back, and then said:
  "Sixth brother, the eldest brother is planning to rebel."

"Rebellion? No way."

Lu Mingyuan frowned.

He just saw the eldest prince making a decision with a happy face. Didn't he have the power to supervise the country? What reason would there be for rebellion?

Lu Yunqing explained seriously: "The third brother came back from the Eastern Expedition. He told me that everything was going well in the battle ahead, but something unexpected happened, so he came back early. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother actually mobilized troops privately and dared to have the second brother detained tonight. "

Lu Mingyuan asked curiously: "What happened on the front line?"

Almost everyone wants to know what happened to their father on the front line, but not many people know.

"My father only used three days to overthrow the small country of Dongyi. His force was overwhelming and his army was mighty. He conquered eighteen cities and crossed hundreds of miles across the border. It was a great victory. Only the final royal capital was left to conquer. It destroyed the country.

However, the small country of Dongyi sacrificed the lives of the people in the capital city, summoned the god of national luck, and caused heavy damage to tens of thousands of our troops. Fortunately, my father had the luck of the Great Flame Dragon and was spared from the disaster. Zuo Renxian, the chief minister of the alliance and the leader of the swordsmanship, arrived and killed the eight-kid evil snake of national destiny with one sword.

I wanted to go back home and celebrate the success, but I didn't expect reinforcements from the demon country's army to arrive and surround Dayan, so I had no choice but to let the third brother break through and return to Beijing first. "

Lu Yunqing told the general story.

"I see."

Lu Mingyuan recalled the turmoil in the dragon's veins a few days ago, and suddenly realized it.

It turns out that this is how earthquakes come about.

Lu Yunqing sighed and said: "Although my father is fine, his body has become much weaker, so he wrote an edict to return to Beijing to stabilize the situation. But just a few days ago, my eldest brother has acted like this. It is definitely harboring evil intentions and treason." My heart suddenly arose."

Lu Mingyuan always felt that something was wrong, so he asked: "When third brother came back, did he know the content of the oracle?"

"You shouldn't know that peeking at the edict before you arrive in the capital is a capital offense." Lu Yunqing shook his head.

Lu Mingyuan thought deeply. It seemed that neither the third prince nor the eighth prince knew about the supervision of the country. Only the cabinet knew about this matter, and it was not exposed at all.

So they felt that the eldest prince was plotting rebellion and suppressing dissidents.

In fact, he has received the support of his father and is preparing to seize the position of prince and prove his ability by supervising the country.

Is this the final test?

He knew this, but he couldn't tell Lu Yunqing, otherwise he would expose himself.

So next, they will have a dispute with the eldest prince.

"Sixth Brother, please follow me out of the palace tonight. If this continues, we will all be harmed by Big Brother."

Lu Yunqing suggested in a low voice.

"Leave the palace? How?"

Lu Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat and his face was stunned.

"Third brother has his own way."

Right now.

The six-line tortoise shell that had not heard any movement for a long time emitted a bright light, a pattern cracked on the mottled lines, and a few rays of light and words appeared in front of Lu Mingyuan's eyes.
