Was it due to his superior medical skills, or was he not actually injured at all?
It seems this person's strength is extraordinary!
Chapter 85 Murder in front of all the civil and military officials? The Crown Prince is furious!
Emperor Qing nodded, temporarily suppressing his curiosity about Li Chungang.
Then he looked at Chen Pingping and said:
"Chen Pingping, hundreds of people infiltrated the capital, and your Censorate didn't detect it at all? What use is your Censorate to me then?"
Emperor Qing was furious.
This caused all the court officials to fall silent, as if chilled to the bone.
However, many people secretly rejoiced.
Ministers who suffered greatly at the hands of the Control Yuan
Naturally, he was happy to see Chen Pingping get scolded.
Chen Pingping said frankly, "Your Majesty is right. After the court session, I will investigate those in the Censorate who have failed in their duties!"
"However, this matter is complicated, and this old minister would like to request His Highness the Crown Prince to personally oversee it. I hope Your Majesty will agree."
As soon as this word comes out,
The officials in the hall all changed color.
Invite the Crown Prince to oversee the investigation?
Does this mean the Crown Prince is to interfere in the affairs of the Censorate?
Even Emperor Qing's expression changed slightly.
He looked intently at Chen Pingping.
Has this old dog sensed something and wants to switch allegiances?
Or is this the Crown Prince's request?
His gaze inadvertently swept over Li Chengqian, whose expression remained indifferent.
His face unconsciously took on a somewhat gloomy look.
Li Chengqian remained calm, but inwardly he was somewhat surprised.
Was Chen Pingping suddenly doing this to show him goodwill?
At this moment, a reserve official suddenly stepped forward.
"I believe this matter is inappropriate. The Censorate holds a special position, and His Majesty has personally ordered that members of the Imperial Family must not interfere in the affairs of the Censorate!"
"Isn't Dean Chen's invitation to the Crown Prince to oversee the investigation tantamount to defying an imperial decree?"
Upon hearing this, many ministers from the Second Prince's faction stepped forward and echoed his sentiments.
The second prince, of course, did not instruct them to stand up and oppose the crown prince.
But since they have already pledged allegiance to the Second Prince, they will naturally subconsciously want to suppress the Crown Prince.
Moreover, they were well aware that the Control Yuan was a very dangerous intelligence agency.
If they side with the crown prince...
The second prince will have no chance whatsoever.
Seeing this scene,
The Second Prince, Li Chengze, who had always treated himself as if he were invisible, suddenly changed his expression.
He had previously harbored some ambitions for the throne.
So he secretly wanted to recruit Li Chungang, who was a Grandmaster.
Because only in this way,
Only then can he stand on the same starting line as the Crown Prince again.
But ever since they learned that Li Chungang was the Crown Prince's man,
He then fell into deep fear.
One Grandmaster is already terrifying, let alone two Grandmasters?
Moreover, Ye Liuyun 027 also became a guest advisor to the Crown Prince.
With such a lineup, what can he possibly compete with?
Take your life?
However, he never expected that his men would be so brave as to take the initiative to step forward.
As he was thinking about how to explain that this matter had nothing to do with him,
Li Chengqian, however, looked at the first person to step forward and felt a surge of murderous intent.
He remembered this man; his name was Lu Yuan.
A year ago, when he first attended court after transmigrating, this person suddenly attacked him.
Afterwards, this person was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Works.
but,
To Li Chengqian, this was just an insignificant nobody.
He won't bother with you as long as you don't hang around in front of him.
However, repeatedly opposing him...
Do you really think he still has the temper of someone who just transmigrated?
This year,
More than a thousand people have died directly or indirectly at his hands.
Not long ago, he slaughtered his way through Niulan Street, leaving a trail of blood.
And now,
Faced with Chen Pingping's idea,
He doesn't really care at all.
In his view, the power of the Control Yuan was no longer as great as that of the Net.
but,
Even if he doesn't want it,
It's none of anyone else's business to point fingers.
Especially this person, who has repeatedly opposed him!
Therefore,
While the court officials were still chattering and offering their advice...
Li Chengqian silently walked to the imperial guards standing beside the hall.
He raised his hand and drew the long sword from the guard's waist.
The guards were stunned for a moment.
Drawing a sword inside the Taiji Hall?
Even the Crown Prince, isn't this a bit presumptuous?!
Next second,
With a "whoosh," the gleaming blade was drawn from its sheath.
The lively atmosphere in the entire Taiji Hall suddenly cooled down!
A chill ran through the hearts of the many ministers.
What is the prince doing?
Lu Yuan watched as Li Chengqian coldly drew his sword and walked towards him.
Although she appeared calm, her legs were trembling slightly.
"What is Your Highness doing? Are you planning to kill someone in the Taiji Hall, right under His Majesty's nose?"
He felt that Li Chengqian was bluffing.
No crown prince in any dynasty has ever dared to be so unscrupulous.
Li Chengqian showed absolutely no interest in explaining.
He raised his hand and swung his knife, smashing Lu Yuan's teeth with the blade.
Lu Yuan screamed in agony, his mouth full of blood.
But the next second,
Li Chengqian then used the back of his sword to cleave his legs in two.
Two clicks,
A breaking sound rang out.
He collapsed to the ground, his face contorted in pain.
He tried to speak, sobbing and whimpering, for help.
However, Emperor Qing, on whom he had placed his high hopes, sat high on the dragon throne.
Her eyes were lowered, as if she were resting with them closed.
The court officials were terrified, but no one dared to speak up for him.
Second Prince Li Chengze
They almost completely hid themselves away, shrinking into a corner and not daring to speak.
Lin Ruofu frowned slightly.
