Chapter 45: In the case of forcibly taking away the oiran, Your Majesty is the principal offender!

Behind the gauze curtain, Emperor Qing was obviously very angry.

"The Heavenly Family is so sacred, yet they want to take a prostitute as a concubine!"

"Li Chengze, where's your brain!"

Emperor Qing scolded for a while, and Li Chengze admitted his mistakes repeatedly.

After all, the Second Prince had just entered politics, and some of his frivolous and casual habits had not yet been corrected.

Afterwards, Emperor Qing asked for the opinions of the three judicial officials.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple both agreed. When asking about Lai Mingcheng, Li Changan heard Emperor Qing sigh.

However, no one could have expected that Lai Mingcheng's answer would be so straightforward.

"I second the proposal!"

When he seconded the motion, Li Changan saw that the Grand Justice and the Minister of Justice both breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Prince Jing, who had been nervous the whole time, felt less stressed.

What Li Changan told him was to go to the brothel and beat Li Hongcheng up, and then Prince Jing would go to the palace to file a complaint.

As a result, Li Changan made such a big fuss that brothel girls all over the city complained to him. It was simply astonishing!

Seeing that Concubine Liu's purpose of leaving the palace had been achieved, Lai Mingcheng had no objection, and Prince Jing was relieved.

Li Changan, who was foresighted, found it very strange that the three words "I second the proposal" did not quite fit Lai Mingcheng's character.

Even Emperor Qing couldn't help laughing, "Haha! Censor Lai is so easy to talk to today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Mingcheng immediately took up the conversation.

"Prince Yong is young, but his heart is not bad! His lack of moral integrity and disregard for the laws of the country are all due to his lack of education!"

Emperor Qing nodded and said, "That's right, so I specially allow Concubine Liu to move out of the palace and discipline my third brother."

Lai Mingcheng's face suddenly became angry and his voice became much louder.

"But the case has already been reported! Someone must be held accountable!"

Emperor Qing moved his butt back uneasily, suddenly having a bad feeling.

But before he was mentally prepared, Lai Mingcheng's success had already begun.

"I believe that Your Majesty is the principal offender in this case!"

Emperor Qing took a deep breath, feeling as if he was being watched.

Lai Mingcheng did not make things difficult for Prince Yong, but instead it came back to bite himself!

"Lai Mingcheng, I have never met Si Lili, don't talk nonsense!"

Lai Mingcheng was well prepared and started to make a comment in an orderly manner, "Raising a child without teaching him is the fault of the father! Prince Yong lost his father when he was young, so the eldest brother is his father!"

"Your Highness Prince Yong is absurd and presumptuous, his words and actions are outrageous, he has no regard for the law and discipline!"

"All of these are caused by insufficient education, and are all your Majesty's fault!"

"I want to criticize Your Majesty for not fulfilling his duty as the elder brother and educating him, which has led to Prince Yong's current immorality!"

"Prince Yong was crowned at the age of five and opened his own palace at the age of ten. His Majesty did not allow his biological mother to leave the palace with him. Therefore, Prince Yong was left unsupervised, hanging out with eunuchs and maids all day long, and even inviting courtesans into the palace to sing erotic songs."

"Your Majesty arranged the best poetry and rhythm teacher for His Highness, but never sent anyone to teach him the law and criminal law. This is why His Highness Prince Yong has no idea what the law is!"

"Therefore, Your Majesty must take full responsibility for this case!"

Lai Mingcheng showed his power and everyone present was shocked!
No one dared to say a word. The prince was eager to try, and pinched his thighs a few times to avoid crying.

Li Changan couldn't help but sigh that the current prince was still in the growth stage. Lai Mingchengdu reported to His Majesty in person, but the prince didn't even cry!
As expected, Chen Pingping was the one who saved the situation. "Lai Mingcheng, how dare you!"

"Your Majesty has devoted all his energy to Daqing, which is why Daqing has such a prosperous era!"

"Besides, educating my younger brothers and the princes is your majesty's family business!"

"You are overstepping your authority by making irresponsible remarks about your majesty's family affairs!"

Li Changan noticed that the prince chewed over Chen Pingping's words carefully and seemed to have grown a lot.

Lai Mingcheng had indeed pointed at Emperor Qing and scolded him many times, and it seemed that Li Changan had caught up with him this time. So far, Li Changan's goal has been achieved.

Emperor Qing has already agreed to let Liu Shuyan leave the palace, and Li Changan’s reputation will definitely be ruined after making such a fuss.

Emperor Qing would not rush him to take charge of trivial government affairs, but would let him reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors and receive education.

It was also a surprise for Li Changan to encounter Lai Mingcheng's incident.

It was indeed Emperor Qing's idea not to let Liu Shuyan leave the palace. If Li Changan was not a time traveler, there would be no one to control her.

Therefore, it is indeed the eldest brother's responsibility that Li Changan has become a bad person.

However, the only person in the world who dares to say this clearly is Lai Mingcheng.

Lai Mingcheng responded to Chen Pingping's accusations without fear.

"What Dean Chen said is absurd! The emperor has no family affairs!"

"What's more, His Royal Highness Prince Yong's affairs are related to the fortune of Daqing's literary world, and are definitely not your Majesty's family affairs!"

"Your Highness Prince Yong is a genius born from heaven, who has revitalized the literary world of Daqing. If he fails to become a talent and dies halfway, it will all be the fault of Your Majesty!"

This was a small-scale meeting and there weren't many people present. Emperor Qing didn't keep a straight face and started scolding directly.

"Lai Mingcheng, get out of here!"

Lai Mingcheng stiffened his neck and refused to give in. "Civil officials will die admonishing, and military generals will fight to the death. The unification of the world is just around the corner!"

Li Changan felt that these words were familiar. He had said them during the trial and they were also mentioned in A Dream of Red Mansions.

However, Li Changan felt that Lai Mingcheng did not seem like someone who could continue reading "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Emperor Qing directly said to Eunuch Hou, "Get out! Get out! You are so annoying!"

Several imperial guards entered the imperial study and lifted up Lai Mingcheng. Lai Mingcheng was dragged away, but he still kept talking.

"I advise the country with my heart as firm as a rock. You can move my body, but you can't move my heart for the country!"

After Lai Mingcheng was taken away, Emperor Qing sighed, "The unification of the world is just around the corner!"

"It is far from enough for civil officials to die in remonstrance and military generals to die in battle! Unless all the great masters are dead, there will never be peace in the world!"

Then, Emperor Qing said to Li Changan, "What Lai Mingcheng said makes some sense. The money you need to compensate Si Lili should be paid by the inner court."

Li Changan said indifferently, "Your Majesty, I am not short of money. Even if I had money, I would not compensate Si Lili!"

Then, he showed a look of grievance again, "Your Majesty, please believe me! I really just didn't negotiate the price well!"

"Si Lili slandered me. How about asking Dean Chen to help frame Si Lili as a Northern Qi spy? Then I'll be fine!"

Emperor Qing widened his eyes in shock, then held his forehead helplessly.

"You are so shameless!"

"Alas... it's my fault for not educating you!"

"Prince Yong's confinement period will be extended by another three months. He is not allowed to leave the house for the next six months!"

"Chen Pingping, find someone to teach His Royal Highness Prince Yong a lesson. Tell him that the Inspection Bureau is a public institution that monitors the entire country. How can they frame someone at will?"

"Also, keep an eye on Prince Yong's personal guards. Don't let them kill Si Lili!"

"Let's go, let's go. My son is a fool and my brother is a scoundrel. It's so annoying!"

The little alpaca looked frustrated. After all, he had just started to be used as a whetstone and his thick skin had not yet been sharpened.

The prince said, "My uncle is coming to the palace today, and I am worried about you."

"I didn't expect that this time, Censor Lai would make excuses for you."

Li Changan waved his hands and said, "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. I am innocent to begin with!"

"Si Lili is deliberately trying to harm me. One day she will be exposed!"

"My two good nephews, you must believe me!"

Seeing Li Changan's grief-stricken expression, Li Chengqian really believed him a little.

Could it be that Uncle Yong was really being plotted against and his reputation was ruined?

　Later, the protagonist travels around the world, strengthens Luowang, sets up plans in Jiangnan and Beiqi, and subdues Fan Wujiu and Xia Qifei. The story ends in about ten chapters, and then the plot of the first part of the TV series begins.
