Yi Jiuxiao changed into a white embroidered dragon robe and looked like a prince. Under the leadership of the chamberlain, he came to the palace where the prince lived during his lifetime.

This is a garden located on the east side of the Imperial Palace, with a size of 20 acres, and more than 10 male and female attendants.

Yi Jiuxiao looked at the magnificence in it, and felt a little trance for a while. He was reincarnated in this mortal world as a beggar, and he did not expect to enter the palace.

Before dawn, the chamberlain came to summon the news, saying that the queen had invited the prince to go to the palace to deal with the court affairs.

So under the guidance of the chamberlain, he went to the queen's palace, and after inviting An, he came to the Jinluan Hall to deal with the government.

At this time, the ministers had all arrived, standing on both sides of the main hall on the left and right, and lined up in rank and order.

A dragon chair is placed at the highest point of the main hall, which is the throne of the previous emperor.

Li Rong and Yi Jiuxiao did not sit on this dragon chair, only the emperor is qualified to sit on the dragon chair, the queen can't sit on it, and the prince can't sit on it.

The chamberlain placed a wide chair on each side of the dragon chair, with Empress Li Rong sitting on the left side and Yi Jiuxiao sitting on the right.

After the two of them took their seats, one of the attendants shouted "Morning Dynasty begins" from below.

The officials lined up in two horizontal formations, bowed down to worship together, and then returned to their original positions and stood neatly after the worship.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, the prince went to Shizhou City to appease the border guards, and now he has returned as scheduled. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Rong swept his gaze over the ministers, and especially looked at Cheng Guang.

In the past few days, Guangguang has been making trouble about this matter, which makes her very passive and annoyed.

"It turns out that His Highness has returned, forgive the old minister's clumsiness, see Your Highness. ”

I saw Cheng Guang walking out of the queue, turning around, and saluting towards Yi Jiuxiao.

Yi Jiuxiao glanced at Cheng Guang, said lightly, "No courtesy", and then stopped speaking.

Who knew that Cheng Guang suddenly took another step forward and said: "The old minister has something unclear and wants to ask His Highness." Why doesn't His Highness have a trace of mana fluctuations in his body, just like a mortal, why is this?"

"Everyone has different exercises, how can this king know, you won't doubt that this king is a mortal, right?"

Yi Jiuxiao looked down at Cheng Guang below, and there was a lot of ridicule in his eyes.

And Cheng Guang was ridiculed by the prince in public, and he was immediately annoyed and angry.

He is a master of the late Jindan period, and he is a very popular minister in the court, when will someone dare to do this to him.

The first emperor Wei Wen was seriously injured when he ascended the throne, and he ignored the government for a long time, and Cheng Guang was in charge of many affairs of the imperial court.

On weekdays, he is always true to his word, and even the dean of the academy does not dare to offend him.

"Hehe~ I'm not afraid of His Highness's blame, Lao Chen really thinks that His Royal Highness is a mortal, otherwise, with Lao Chen's experience, even Lao Chen in the early Yuan Infant can sense it. ”

Yi Jiuxiao also smiled, and after laughing, he looked at the other officials.

In addition to Dazai Chengguang standing in the court, there are also the deans of the academy, university scholars, the chief officials of various ministries, the Taishou of Gyeongju City, and the commander of the forbidden army.

Taishi Wei Dao was not among them, and Taishi usually did not ask about the government affairs, but was only responsible for guarding the imperial city or carrying out special tasks arranged by the emperor.

"The rest of you, do you feel the same way as Dazai?"

Yi Jiuxiao deliberately asked this question, just to see who would echo Cheng Guang and who would dare to come out against him, the prince.

The fact that he has no mana is obvious, and everyone in the court must be able to feel it.

Everyone looked at each other, most of them lowered their heads and kept silent, only two people came out of the queue and stood on both sides of Cheng Guang.

Yi Jiuxiao had seen these two people in the crystal ball given by Li Rong, one was Fan Heng, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, and the other was Gan Zhongwei, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, both of whom were early stage cultivators of Jindan.

It stands to reason that the squire is not qualified to participate in the court meeting, and it is all the scholars who participate in the deliberations.

These two people were able to appear in the court meeting because Fan Tao, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Feng Xishan, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, had both died, and he temporarily participated in the court meeting as the acting chief officer.

The two are actually henchmen of the Feng family, who are neutral on the surface, do not participate in the struggle between the two families, and secretly support the Feng family.

Seeing Cheng Guang come out to provoke the queen and provoke the prince, he came out to cheer for him.

"Your Highness, the minister's feeling is the same as Dazai's. ”

The two of them spoke in unison, but neither of them reported their names, but only called themselves ministers.

"Hehe~ Very good! Except for Fan Heng and Gan Zhongwei, is there anyone else?"

Yi Jiuxiao understood what the two were thinking, pointed out the names of the two in time, and asked everyone lightly again.

No one below made a sound, except for Cheng Guang and the others, the rest of the officials lowered their heads and held their breath, not even daring to breathe, including Mingyu, the dean of the academy.

Cheng Guang saw that no one came forward to echo him, and he couldn't help but hate in his heart.

But he didn't dare to look back at the others, but a fierce color flashed in his eyes.

These were all seen by Queen Li Rong, she didn't know what Yi Jiuxiao would do next, and she didn't know why Yi Jiuxiao did this.

But she felt very relieved, and decades of sulking were relieved.

At this moment, Li Rong did not have a little panic in her heart, she trusted Yi Jiuxiao from the bottom of her heart, more than her own son.

Since the first time they met, Yi Jiuxiao has given her too many surprises.

"This king is obviously a Jindan monk, but the three of you say that this king is a mortal, what are you trying to do by reversing right and wrong like this?"

Yi Jiuxiao suddenly put away his smile, his face turned cold, and he asked the three people standing side by side below.

Cheng Guang and the others, including the ministers below, were all shocked by Yi Jiuxiao's question.

This question carries a lot of weight, and it goes straight to the heart.

But Cheng Guang immediately came back to his senses, after all, he has cultivated profoundly, and he has been proud of the court for decades, how can he ever be questioned by others.

So he replied: "The ministers are not reversing right and wrong, but speaking the truth, but His Highness said that he is a master of Jindan, what is the evidence?"

"The Jindan master is the Jindan master, what other credentials can you have, Dazai, you won't be joking, right?"

Yi Jiuxiao's words were ridiculing Cheng Guang again, so Cheng Guang was angry, really angry.

Cheng Guang's already little patience has reached the limit, and he doesn't want to endure it anymore.

So he stopped being hypocritical and said loudly: "Your Highness, if you can't prove that you are a Jindan cultivator today, you are a fake prince!"

"Dazai, if I can prove myself, then what do I say?"

Yi Jiuxiao stood up from his chair and looked at Cheng Guang and the ministers below with an aggressive gaze.

It's a pity that Yi Jiuxiao's move was understood by Cheng Guang as posturing.

Previously, Cheng Guang was still suspicious of the death of the crown prince, but now it is almost certain.

There must be just a mortal who looks like the crown prince sitting on it, a puppet found by the queen.

Because Cheng Guang believed in his own judgment and believed that no one could hide his cultivation in front of him, unless the other party was a master of Yuanying.

Although there were magic weapons that covered mana in the classics, he had never seen or heard of them in reality.

There were also rumors before that many masters of the Feng family died at the hands of a mortal without mana.

This incident once reached Cheng Guang's ears, but he thought it was a joke, and the Feng family was making excuses for failure and deliberately creating suspense.

"If His Highness can prove that he is a Jindan cultivator, then the old minister, Fan Heng and Gan Zhongwei will be at His Highness's disposal!"

"Very good! I don't know how Dazai wants this king to prove it, is it as long as someone can feel the fluctuation of this king's mana?"

"Haha~ Your Highness is really good at laughing, don't think that the old minister is so foolish, just find someone here to collude. Since His Royal Highness is a Jindan cultivator, then try to compete with Fan Heng and Gan Zhongwei, if you can defeat any of them, it will be a serious Jindan monk of eight hundred, the true prince, if you are defeated, you are a fake mortal. ”

As soon as Cheng Guang's words came out, the ministers were all stunned, thinking that Cheng Guang, you are too ruthless!

Even if the crown prince Wei Yang has advanced to the Jindan, he is only the first layer of the Jindan, and this Fan Heng and Gan Zhongwei have both advanced to the Jindan for several years, and they are already the second and third layers of the Jindan.

Although the difference is a small realm, it is also obviously unfair.

Everyone thought about it in their hearts, and they dared not speak in anger, bowed their heads and did not make a sound, and did not even dare to show their anger.

Yi Jiuxiao didn't care, it wasn't a problem for him to kill Fan Heng and Gan Zhongwei in the early stage of the two golden pills.

But in order to let Cheng Guang get into the trap, he decided to pretend first.

With a "bang", Yi Jiuxiao sat back on the chair, turned his head, and asked Li Rong for help with nervous and frightened eyes.

The queen is as smart as she is, so she naturally understands what Yi Jiuxiao thinks, so she cooperates with her to act.

She said: "Dazai, prove that Jin Dan may not necessarily use a competition, you let the prince play against the two of him, in case of a mistake, who can bear this responsibility?"

Queen Lirong's words are also righteous and strict, and the reasons are sufficient.

Who is the crown prince, he is the prince of the country, how can he compete with two ministers?

But in the ears of Cheng Guang and the ministers, it was the prince who was too timid to compete, and the queen was trying her best to excuse the prince and find a reason to push off the competition.

Except for Li Rui and Mingyu, almost everyone in the court thought so.

"The queen is too worried! The prince and he are both in the early stage of Jindan, and they will lose face at most in the competition, and they will not lose their lives. Unless the crown prince has not cultivated and is a mortal. ”

After saying this, Cheng Guang laughed heartily, very freely.

I saw Li Rong frowning, as if he was a little angry and a little helpless.

She said to a nearby chamberlain: "Go and invite the national teacher, just say that someone is fighting with the prince, and ask him to come over as a witness." ”

Inside and outside the court, in addition to the royal elders who don't ask about mundane matters, I am afraid that the only one who can make Cheng Guang have scruples is the national teacher Wei Channel.

Seeing that the queen went to invite Wei Dao, Cheng Guang was a little panicked, he didn't want Wei Dao to come over and spoil his business.

He hurriedly stopped: "The queen doesn't have to work as a national teacher, if you want to testify, I and everyone present can testify, does the queen not believe me, or do you have other ideas?"

"It's not that I can't trust the Zhongqing family, it's just because the crown prince is about to ascend the throne, and he can't afford to make any mistakes, or even if he gets injured, he won't be allowed. I'm still very worried, it would be best if the Taishi could be present to protect it. ”
