Chapter 32: Liucheng's Attack
At this time, there was no Chen Mu in the Shang study.
The two attendants of the Ministry of Rites who were sent to take the lead had been waiting for a long time.
Even though the crown prince was so fierce and brutal on weekdays, slaughtering hundreds of people on the Imperial History Platform of the Household Department in a row, but now that the prime minister was really ready to attack Chen Mu, the two of them had no fear.
As long as today passes, the prince of the prison country is just a joke.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said impatiently: "That guard, why hasn't the prince come yet?"
Long Cheng, who was standing at the door, just glanced at him and ignored him.
When the two of them saw each other, but one of the guards dared to treat them like this, their hearts suddenly became angry.
Immediately, the two of them slowly came to Long Cheng's side, and said in a cold voice: "Didn't you hear what the official asked you?"
Long Cheng glanced at Huang Xiu indifferently and said lightly: "It's just a waiter, and he also deserves to urge His Highness?"
As soon as they heard this, the two of them instantly laughed angrily, only to see another squire, Qi Qing, sneering: "It's just a dog beside the prince, it's so arrogant, this official ordered you to summon the prince quickly, do you know?"
Both of them are sarcastic and banter, and now that the prime minister has introduced the army into the imperial city, once the hundred officials are impeached today, they will instantly change from a high-ranking prince to a water dog.
These times, the prince has pressed them out of breath, and today he wants to take revenge on the prince in various ways, so that the majesty he established in the past will be shattered! Once again, he became the great prince that everyone could trample on!
But these words, instead of making Long Cheng make any moves, he looked at the two of them indifferently.
"How dare you provoke the imperial power so much."
As soon as they heard the word imperial power, the two laughed again.
"You're a watchdog......"
Without waiting for Huang Xiu to finish speaking, Liu Cheng's face suddenly turned hideous, and with a slap of his hand, he slapped Huang Xiu back a few steps.
Long Cheng has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his palms are not only thick and powerful, but also full of calluses.
Seeing that a guard dared to hit someone, Qi Qing's face turned angry, and he turned around to scold Long Cheng.
"You guards dare to beat the court officials!"
"Smack!"
It was another loud slap, and Long Cheng's hand had not been withdrawn, and when he saw another person making noise again, it was immediately a backhand!
This slap was even more ferocious and domineering, and the sharp and protruding knuckles directly knocked out one of Qi Qing's teeth, and the blood foam flew instantly for a while.
Long Cheng looked at the hateful two, his heart was angry, and he grabbed their hair buns and threw them on the seat.
"You can't wait for a courtier, when the prince comes, you will wait until when you dare to shout again, no wonder!"
"This official is going to ......"
Huang Xiu on the side was still unconvinced, and got up and was still ready to be oppressed.
But before he could finish speaking, Long Cheng slapped his backhand again, and his neck was almost misplaced!
Immediately, Long Cheng grabbed his face with one hand, and the sharp nails were instantly embedded in the skin, Huang Xiu was about to struggle, but when he saw the murderous aura at Long Cheng's glance, he suddenly didn't dare to move again.
"You...... You ......"
Long Cheng looked at him and said with a cruel smile: "The squire is a fart, it's not that this official has never cut an official position bigger than you, this official will give you another chance, there is a kind of get up and try, see if this palace dares to cut you!"
After saying that, Long Cheng put down his hand, but Huang Xiu was still not convinced, after all, as a waiter, he was frightened by a guard today, how to mix in officialdom in the future?
But as he slowly got up, he caught a glimpse of Long Cheng's knife also slowly withdrawing, and finally sat down with a resentful face.
But a puppet, when the prince steps down, then the official will have to torture you to death!
Seeing that the two were quiet, Long Cheng returned to the door again.
But at this moment, Chen Mu suddenly came.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Chen Mu glanced at Long Cheng who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the two people with blue noses and swollen faces, and said suspiciously: "Two, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, Huang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to state Long Cheng's guilt: "Your Highness, your attendant, he beat the imperial court officials at will, is this how you condone your subordinates?"
Huang Xiu's implication was nothing more than to force Chen Mu to give a result.
As for Chen Mu, he also did so, glanced at Long Cheng lightly, and said coldly, "Who told you to beat the two Shangshu?"
Long Cheng said in a deep voice: "The two of them first humiliated the lower officials, and they kept urging the lower officials to urge His Highness to come quickly, but they couldn't hold back for a while......"
"Presumptuous!"
Chen Mu's scolding instantly made Long Cheng bow his head, and the two of them only felt a sigh.
Then he saw Chen Mu come to the two of them, and touched Huang Xiu's face with a distressed face: "I actually beat Aiqing like this, Longcheng, you remember it to the palace, and the next time you encounter this situation, just cut it directly."
"You beat them, this palace saw their appearance, and I felt guilty for killing them again, you know?"
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the two who were originally proud were instantly shocked, this prince was really cruel, but soon the two of them had a sneer.
Continue to be arrogant, and when Liu Xiang comes, the official wants to see how long you can be proud of this rabbit cub!
Chen Mu took a sip of the tea he brought, and said slowly, "What's the matter with the two of you?"
The two glanced at each other and arched their hands: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in recent days, you have relied on the imperial power to kill too many innocent people, first the people in Kaifeng, and the people who committed crimes were all the three tribes, and they always rebelled against the nine clans, and there were too many innocent people involved."
"Besides, as soon as you come back, the Yushitai household department was killed and slaughtered one after another, the Dragon Dynasty has a legal system, and the embezzlement of five hundred taels of silver was sentenced to death, and you were all beheaded, is it really appropriate?"
Chen Mu was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Then what do you want to do with this palace."
"This ......"
After this indifferent sentence came out, the two of them suddenly felt a force suddenly pressing on them, Chen Mu's question was too direct and sharp, they were really hard to answer.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a sound of vicissitudes of life.
"The ministers also hope that His Royal Highness will put away the heart of killing, the crown prince is in power at the beginning, or there is something improper to deal with, the old minister believes that His Royal Highness will temporarily put down the responsibility of supervising the country, and after being familiar with state affairs, he will then raise the hundred officials, so it is a foolproof strategy."
After that, I saw that Liu Cheng led a group of important officials into the study room, and almost all the officials below the five grades came.
In the midst of the crowd, a sense of oppression suddenly ushered in, and in the face of the fierce crowd, Chen Mu still smiled and took a sip of tea.
"The Xiang Ye who has been up and down for many years in the sea is tactful, don't you just say that you can let the palace give you power?"
Liu Cheng would not fall into the hands of others, and knelt down respectfully at the moment and said: "The minister has no intention of usurping power, but I just think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to learn political affairs first, after all, too many innocent people have died during this period of time because of His Highness's temporary path."
Hearing this, Chen Mu couldn't help but sneer: "Then this palace asked Liu Xiang a question, between human life and human life, is it equal?"
