"There is no need to punish you, you are a scholar, and the only one who is qualified to punish you is the saint today. Li Leng glanced at Cheng Wanli deeply, and a sneer of disdain appeared on his lips.

This Cheng Wanli's scheming is too sinister, but unfortunately, he overestimated his wisdom and did not fully recognize his opponent. It looks very smart, but it is actually extremely stupid.

Cheng Wanli is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the etiquette in the court is controlled by the Ministry of Rites, but Cheng Wanli deliberately knelt down and kowtowed to him, and deliberately lured him with words, asking him to punish even a few scolds, so that he broke the rules of the court, even if there will be no big punishment, but it will more or less cause the unhappiness in the heart of his father Li Daoyuan.

It's just that what makes Li Leng unsure is whether Cheng Wan did this here under the order of King Yu, or if he did it on purpose in private.

If Cheng Wanli did this on purpose in private, then who was he helping.

Honorable King?

Or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Although the Ministry of Rites is not the most powerful of the six ministries in the DPRK, it is definitely the most influential. This influence is not reflected in the impact on the situation of the court, but in the etiquette and face of the royal family. In front of the hierarchical royal family, a set of etiquette formulated by the Ministry of Rites deeply affected the authority of the royal family in the world.

It is precisely because of this special influence of the Ministry of Rites that Shangshu Cheng Wanli is the object of King Yu, the crown prince and other princes, judging from the current situation, Cheng Wanli is the person who is King Yu, but whether he really does things for King Yu is debatable.

Li Leng doesn't care who Cheng Wanli is, no matter who Cheng Wanli is helping with, he will not be his person, let alone loyal to him.

Li Leng and Zhou Wen went down the mountain.

Cheng Wanli slowly stood up, squinted his eyes and looked at the backs of Li Leng and Zhou Wen in a daze, and muttered: "Rumors may not be rumors, Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo's favorite granddaughter is inseparable from His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, I am afraid that Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo will support His Royal Highness the Ten Princes in the future." Hmph, it turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince's biggest enemy is not King Yu, but this Ten Princes who has been neglected!"

After descending the mountain, Li Leng keenly sensed that something was wrong with the situation, and soon, he realized that it was his Qi Refining Tribulation that attracted the attention of all forces in the DPRK and China, which was not a good thing.

He has not yet established a power system, and no one in the court supports him wholeheartedly, once too many people pay attention to him, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion and suppression of other powerful princes.

"The two of us went separately. Li Leng said with a serious expression.

"For ...... Why?" Zhou Wen opened a pair of big eyes and looked at Li Leng in puzzlement.

They didn't do anything unpleasant, so why couldn't they leave Sword Shrine Mountain together?

Li Leng didn't explain so much, patted Zhou Wen on the shoulder, and turned around and walked to another road.

Along the way, Li Leng met many powerful bigwigs in the court, as well as powerful princes, and when they saw him coming down from Sword Shrine Mountain, they all looked wrong and their eyes were full of vigilance.

Li Leng didn't say anything, didn't ask any questions, and left quietly, so that people couldn't see any thoughts in his heart.

"Hey, did you say that he caused the Qi Refining Tribulation?" a prince asked the minister beside him in a low voice.

"Your Highness, his cultivation has been abolished, even if he is lucky enough to restore his cultivation, but his body has been damaged, it is impossible to purify the Yuan Force to such a terrifying level. ”

"Also, how could a deposed prince lead to a Qi Refining Tribulation?"

"If it's not him, who will it be? His Royal Highness the Prince? Or Zhou Wen, the granddaughter of the Prime Minister?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a foundation realm cultivator, how can he still refine qi to survive the tribulation? It must be Zhou Wen, the granddaughter of the prime minister. ”

"Not necessarily, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's talent is amazing, and he may not be able to purify the Yuan Force in the Foundation Building Realm, which will lead to Qi refining and calamity. ”

......

For a while, everyone talked about it, and they all felt that the most likely to attract Qi refining and tribulation were His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister's granddaughter Zhou Wen. It seems that everyone has automatically filtered Li Leng, and they all feel that Li Leng's cultivation has been abolished, and his physique is weak, so it is impossible to trigger a qi refining tribulation that even God is jealous of.

Li Leng listened to a few words of discussion from everyone, and his heart slowly relaxed, he guessed that it must be Li Daoyuan who blocked all the news of Sword Shrine Mountain, so everyone didn't know what happened to Sword Shrine Mountain.

He didn't know whether Li Daoyuan was helping him by ordering the blockade of Sword Shrine Mountain, or if he had other plans and plans, but no matter what Li Daoyuan's original intention was, Li Daoyuan really helped him a lot right now.

Back at the Guogong Mansion, Chen Wu ran up excitedly and said, "Your Highness, just now the Ministry of Rites sent someone to send the envoy's clothes, it's really beautiful!"

Li Leng frowned and said, "Take me to have a look." ”

In the room, a huge dress hung on a hanger, and a golden dragon was embroidered in the middle of the dress, and round after round energy circles were constantly emitted, which was a treasure with extremely strong defense.

When Li Leng saw the golden dragon, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and his anger rose up in an instant.

It's a seven-clawed golden dragon.

In the Tang Dynasty, the only person who is qualified to wear the seven-clawed golden dragon is Li Daoyuan, the son of heaven.

The Ministry of Rites deliberately rusted the seven-clawed golden dragon on the envoy's dress, was it negligent or deliberate?

Li Leng thought of Cheng Wanli's attitude just now, and knew in his heart that this was another conspiracy by Cheng Wanli.

"Put away the dress, I will go into the palace to meet the saint. Li Leng turned around and left the room, entered the study and wrote an excerpt, and then entered the palace with a dress.

Since Cheng Wanli has repeatedly framed him without knowing whether he is alive or dead, then he will not let Cheng Wanli be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

......

Li Daoyuan was reviewing some excerpts, Gao Shui bowed in, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the Ten Princes are asking to see you outside the palace." ”

"Oh, he's going to be an envoy tomorrow, why don't you prepare well, what are you doing when you enter the palace to see me?" Li Daoyuan put down the cinnabar pen, frowned, didn't understand what Li Leng wanted to do when he entered the palace at this time, and said lightly, "Let him come in!"

After a while, Li Leng held a dress, walked into the main hall respectfully, bowed and said, "Sons and daughters see their father." ”

"Get up, what's the matter?" Li Daoyuan asked Li Leng to move a stool and motioned for Li Leng to sit down and reply.

"In front of his father, his sons did not dare to make a mistake, and they did not dare to sit back to his father's words. Li Leng directly refused, which made Li Daoyuan not only not angry, but surprisingly good, and couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face.

Li Daoyuan said: "You are about to send an envoy to the Han Dynasty, you should hurry up and accompany your mother, how did you think of coming to the Qiankun Palace?"

Li Leng said loudly: "Erchen wants to participate in the Ministry of Rites, Zuo Taibei, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Cheng Wanli." ”
