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

Chapter 252: Father and son turned against each other, the imperial capital was in an uproar, and they were charged with ten crimes. Why did the father rebel?

Who is in favor and who is against!
The plain words were filled with unquestionable murderous intent, as if someone would end up like this commander in the next second if they stood up to oppose.

At this moment, the faces of the surrounding Great Yan Forbidden Army turned pale.

A dignified third-rank city gate commander, one of the nine gate governors, and a martial artist in the Dragon Gate realm.

Just die like this?
How far has His Highness the Crown Prince's cultivation reached?
Is it possible that His Highness's deeds at the border are true, that he really killed hundreds of thousands of demons and defeated the Empress of the Underworld with one person's power?
Are all the increasingly outrageous rumors circulating among the people true?
The Confucian scholar in official robes with a gold seal hanging on his waist was slightly shocked when he saw this situation. He had an inexplicable illusion. If the person standing in front of him was him, would his head be smashed by Lu Mingyuan's slap?

As one of the masters in the Imperial Academy, he is ranked in the Hanlin Academy. He regards himself as a real person in the Hanlin Academy and speaks in simple terms. On weekdays, he really doesn't take anyone seriously.

Those scholars who passed the imperial examinations and the number one scholar in the imperial examinations all wanted to call him sir when they saw that he was not treating him politely.

At this moment, there was an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Being able to beat the ninth level Longmen warriors to death like ants, this level of cultivation is definitely no less than the tenth level of perfection!
He didn't even dare to think about going any further!
Master Hanlin was a little suffocated. He really didn't dare to think about how the Sixth Prince, who usually made everyone spit when they saw him in the cold palace, had cultivated to such a high level now.

Is he really a martial arts genius?

On the street, a richly dressed young man with a frightened and angry face was taken away by a team of lantern masters in Jinyi.

Now the prince still bears the seal of command, his power is astonishing, and his wings have already taken shape.

"You are in such a posture, but you want to see the Holy Emperor? Those who want to enter the imperial city must disarm and return to the seal. This is the rule."

"Yes, that's him, His Royal Highness. What is he going to do?"

"Who is coming?!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered to the subordinates of the Lighting Department next to him:
"take away."

Many of the master monks at the city gate were quite wary and did not take action, seeming to be hesitating.

When Lu Mingyuan saw this, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What did this person commit?"

The imperial city guard shouted loudly, with a strong voice full of vitality, and hummed: "Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince hand over the seal of command?"

"Ah, he is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Even the commander-in-chief can only do it in an instant, let alone them.

According to the normal procedures of Dayan's regulations, if there are generals returning to Beijing, the first thing they should do when entering Beijing is to hand over their commander's seal, and then disperse their troops to the north and south military camps.

There were also people who had never seen Lu Mingyuan's true appearance. At this time, they saw Lu Mingyuan's group passing through the outer city and slowly entering the inner city, and they all began to discuss among themselves.

It is precisely because of this sentence that they dare not take action rashly.

Lu Mingyuan didn't say much, and walked forward until he arrived at the entrance of the Shenwu Gate of the Imperial City.

The Imperial Guards guarding this gate saw the vast main road in the distance and the crowds of people coming in. From a bird's eye view, they were all heads. They immediately frowned and asked:

The leader, Ming Deng Si Jinyi, glanced at Lu Mingyuan's appearance in python suit and knew that the person coming was distinguished. He clasped his fists respectfully and said, "The maid next to this person is disguised as a vampire. She is guilty of a heinous crime and must be involved with the Demon Kingdom, so The official came here to capture him."

"Your Highness the Prince." The imperial city guard murmured. He had indeed heard the news about the return of the Prince's disciples before, but why didn't the cabinet and court mention this matter?

The Imperial Guards around him withdrew one after another, obviously not daring to stop him.

Master Hanlin suppressed the fear in his heart, as if he had walked through the gate of hell. He took a deep breath, clasped his fists, bowed, and left quickly.

"My father is the Minister of Household Affairs, you can't arrest me!"

"I don't know. In this posture, are you going back to Beijing to meet the Holy Emperor?"

The man in the four-clawed python robe below stood with his sword in hand, his posture was extraordinary, his brows were rather sharp, and he spoke calmly:
"Prince Dayan, Lu Mingyuan."

This situation is a matter between the Holy Emperor and the Prince.

But early in the morning, the streets were filled with vendors who started setting up stalls, selling breakfast, scallion pancakes and meat buns, soy milk and fried dough sticks.

If that's the case, why were there no signs before?
"Go back and let Gu go back to the East Palace first. Father Huang Gu will meet you naturally."

If the man on the Dragon Throne dares to attack Dong Gong Mansion, he will never let him go.

When Lu Mingyuan crossed the street, he didn't look sideways and soon arrived at the inner city.

Lu Mingyuan's words just now, 'This person speaks nonsense, is disrespectful to the Holy One, and stirs up the relationship between Gu and his father', are still fresh in their minds.

For a moment, his eyes couldn't help but look straight. After a while, he slowly looked away and looked at the diners: "Is that His Highness the Crown Prince?"

A waiter holding soy milk saw a handsome man in a python robe leading the way. Behind him, there were nearly a hundred watchmen.

In this way, the order of the capital will not be affected.

Luo Shengmiao, the master of Jinting Mountain, raised his fist and bared his teeth in a smile in front of many monks and soldiers with their heads lowered. He pursed his lips to demonstrate, seeming very proud of himself.

If they act rashly, they will become victims of the conversation and laughter between the two.

There was not even a grand ceremony planned to welcome him.

Lu Mingyuan silently passed over the mess of blood and flesh in front of him, and led everyone to the East Palace to check on the safety of his mother's grandfather, Muxue and others.

On the walls of the imperial city.

"Otherwise, this person will be your fate."

Lu Mingyuan looked at Master Hanlin indifferently, and there was no wave in his words.

This is an area where many officials and disciples are qualified to live. It is impossible to squeeze in the royal family and nobles, and the imperial city where famous people and generals live can only be particular about this place.

Unless the Holy One comes out of the city to greet him personally, no general has ever been able to lead troops to the gate of the imperial city.

Not even the prince.

Shengming Palace.

Emperor Yong'an sits high on a dragon chair, with snow-white temples and a serious expression. He overlooks the princes in the palace, showing no anger or authority.

He glanced at a certain empty seat and said in a deep voice: "Why hasn't Yuan Xuangang arrived?"

Yuan Xuangang did not ask for leave, but he was absent from the court meeting. According to Dayan regulations, if he was late or absent from the court meeting, he would be fined three months' salary and fifteen days of whipping.

With a sealed cultivation level, even a martial artist would have to lie down for seven days if he stepped down from the fifteenth floor.

Emperor Yong'an was not angry because of Yuan Xuangang's absence, but he still needed Yuan Xuangang to do some things next.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Xuangang seems to have gone to deal with the city gate matters. He is the newly appointed Admiral of the Nine Gates and guards all the city gates in the capital."

A minister came out.

"Your Majesty, there should be an explanation for the war in the Demon Kingdom. It has been delayed so far and cannot be delayed again. The families of the fallen soldiers are still waiting for compensation."

"His Royal Highness, counting the time, it's almost time to return to the capital."

Emperor Yong'an nodded slowly and asked, "What do you think, dear friends?"

A goat-bearded cabinet minister lamented: "Qi Xingyan sacrificed his life for righteousness, took the overall situation into consideration, and went out in front of the city gate in order to protect the people of a city. It is indeed great. But in this battle, I, Dayan, lost one hundred thousand elites. Such a huge loss Who will fill the gap?
After the Battle of Tianshui City, the armies of Dayan and Demon Kingdom were still confronting each other at the border. Although they finally retreated and left the hinterland of China, their power remained and they would come back at any time.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the capital immediately after welcoming back Qi Xingyan's coffin. The rear area may be captured by the demonic army at any time. In addition, the minister also heard that the King of Zhenbei left his post without permission from the court and left the northwest land to rush to the rescue. Water City.

This move is undoubtedly a great disaster, leaving the northwest area with empty guards. The King of Zhenbei regards the law of the country as nothing, and his crime should be dismissed from his post and the army. Being complicit in the evil deeds was really too chilling for the court. "

"What Lu Aiqing said makes sense."

Emperor Yong'an nodded slowly, the look in his eyes did not change, and his attitude could not be seen.

"As for the death of Qi Xingyan, a posthumous title needs to be given. I believe that the first-class Wen Zheng, Wen Zhong, Wen Gong, etc. still need to be considered. Those who can be worthy of such posthumous titles are all people who have been famous throughout the ages. Please Your Majesty Think about it again.”

Wen Zheng, Wen Zhong, Wen Gong.

It belongs to the highest category of evaluation among literary posthumous titles. Originally, the imperial court planned to give Qi Xingyan a first-class posthumous title, but unexpectedly, differences arose here.

Emperor Yong'an glanced at the princes and said leisurely: "My dear friends, what do you think?"

"I think it's inappropriate."

A young scholar stood up. Judging from the color of his clothes, he saw that he was wearing a crimson official robe from the Ministry of Etiquette. He was obviously a fifth-rank official from the Ministry of Etiquette.

As an official of the Ministry of Rites, he still has a say in the posthumous title.

"First, Mr. Qi is a hard-working and rigorous scholar, and the reputation of Shengjing Academy is excellent. Why can't such a person get the first-class posthumous title?"

"Secondly, the King of Zhenbei and the Champion Marquis both contribute to the country and obey authority in emergencies. If it weren't for them, His Highness the Crown Prince would probably not be able to leave Tianshui City, let alone win a great victory. This is because of their unique vision. Why? Dismissed from the army for dereliction of duty?"

In the eyes of the public, this young official wanted to go against the cabinet.

Since the chief and assistants no longer care about this matter, they don't actually have to fight for Qi Xingyan and the Holy One.

Those who can stand here are all smart people. With the changes in the situation these days, there is no way that Emperor Yong'an's plan cannot be seen.

Your Majesty does not want to see His Royal Highness sitting upright.

So these days, we have been suppressing the prince's prestige, trying to downplay what the prince did, and at the same time pulling Qi Xingyan, who is regarded as a saint by the people, from the altar, and no longer demonize him too much.

They can all see it, but there is no need to confront the Holy One.

After all, this world is not yet holy.

The top priority is how to deal with the invasion of the Demon Kingdom.

His Highness the Crown Prince won, which is great.

But there is no need to exaggerate and overshadow the Holy Spirit.

This is what the ministers are thinking at this time.

It's okay to give Qi Xingyan a first-class posthumous title, but the key is that the man on the throne doesn't seem to be very happy about it.

The sheep-bearded cabinet minister smiled lightly and said to the young official: "I really have nothing to say about Qi Xingyan's scholarship. He has been in power for ten years and has made a lot of achievements. However, scholarship is scholarship, and facts are facts. You cannot deny it with imagination. fact."

"It is true that Qi Xingyan sacrificed his life for the people, but it caused great losses to Dayan. This is the fact."

"In addition, it is also true that the champion and the king of Zhenbei left the northwest land and rushed to Tianshui without orders from the court, but the result was good, and the merits and demerits were balanced."

When the young officials heard this, they were completely disappointed with the current cabinet. Is this still the same cabinet as before?

In the past, when Wang Hefu was here, he could still listen to many opinions. In the final analysis, the current cabinet is just a hall of the Holy Spirit.

All cabinet ministers are just the words of the Holy One.

Emperor Yong'an raised the corner of his mouth, but his tone was very low: "Okay, just follow what Lu Aiqing said."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard an uproar coming from outside the hall.

The sound waves rise and fall in layers and are continuous.

There was chaos.

"What's the fuss about?"

Emperor Yong'an raised his eyebrows and asked.

A forbidden soldier hurried into the hall and reported:

"Your Majesty, your Majesty! The Crown Prince's troops returned to the court, but there was no clear trace or time. He first killed the commander of the outer city, and then entered the inner city. Facing the imperial city defenders, he refused to disarm and insisted on leading his troops. Go back to the East Palace.”

"Now we have entered the imperial city!"

Hearing this, Emperor Yong'an became furious, his eyebrows burned with anger, he slapped the table and said loudly:

"You traitor! What is he trying to do!"

In an instant, a ridiculous idea flashed through the minds of the princes.

Isn't the prince planning to rebel?

But soon, many people shook their heads.

How can the prince alone stand against the Holy One?

Can't make a fuss.

"I didn't go out of the city to greet him. The prince thought that the court had neglected him, so he was angry?"

Some ministers speculated so.

Emperor Yong'an snorted coldly: "What qualifications does he have to do this? Are you really lawless? Thinking that winning a game is so great, you just raised your tail?"

Since Lu Mingyuan acted like this, it was exactly what he wanted.

"Even the prince can't do it if he's so unruly."

"Come here, take this traitor down for me and send him to prison!"

At this moment.

Above the imperial city.

There were dense crowds of common people and scholars, as well as martial artists and Qi practitioners, and the crowds on the streets were all people watching the theater. They didn't know what His Highness the Prince was going to do today.

But it is obvious that the formation is huge.

From a distance, I saw the straight and spacious official road, crowded with people.

Lu Mingyuan stood on the top of the city, pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it high, and shouted loudly:
"Just half a month ago, Qi Xingyan led his army to Tianxuan North Pass to fight against the Demon Kingdom at Tianxuan Mansion. He held on for ten days and successfully resisted the Demon Kingdom's army. Without Mr. Qi in this battle, there would be no peace at Dayan Border Pass."

"However, in order to welcome back my husband's coffin, I achieved great achievements and shocked the Lord. I was not tolerated by the Holy One. The East Palace was sealed, and the female family members were placed under house arrest in the Prince's Mansion. They were forced to enter the city late at night to avoid being deprived of their military power, so they came here."

The Taoist monks behind him had an angry look on their faces, complaining about Qi Xingyan and His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Today, the ten crimes listed in this list were all committed by the Holy One. One is that the Holy One colluded with the witch to continue the law of immortality and steal the destiny of the country."

"Second, he conspired with the treacherous minister Yuan Xuangang to frame Mr. Qi, slander his name, destroy his reputation, and trample on the results of the Tianshui City Battle."

"Third, murdering meritorious officials, the king of Zhenbei, the champion prince, serving the country and the people, they are all the bones of a country, and they are repeatedly controlled by the court."

The sound was high and loud, reaching the ears of the people one after another.

They were in an uproar, commotion, and shock.

These are all things that happened recently. They are the talk that has been spreading all over the city recently. Even the traders and lackeys, when they take a break and drink tea together, will angrily criticize the treacherous ministers who are harming the country.

But the same thing, said from Lu Mingyuan's mouth, was completely different.

"Fire arrows!"

"The prince wants to plot rebellion, but the idle people give in!"

The commander of the Imperial City Imperial Guard shouted loudly.

The bow strings trembled and made a loud sound.

The crossbow arrows of white light were all aimed at Lu Mingyuan, regardless of the life and death of ordinary people, just to silence him.

The people screamed and fled in all directions.
