I quit the sect and became a demon cultivator. Master and Sister kneel down to beg for forgiveness.

Chapter 74 The prince is innocent and should be given an official position!

"Greetings to Master Zongzheng!"

The princes and royal family members quickly clasped their fists in salute, and their bodyguards fell silent.

It actually alarmed Li Wangchuan?

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. How could Li Wangchuan not show up when the dragon wall was broken?

Everyone was just worried about whether he came to protect Li Changqing or to bring an army to punish him.

"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Brother Wangchuan!"

Jiang Xingzhou said coldly. In the capital, except for Li Zhan, no one could be polite to him. Everyone else would have the same expression.

"Haha, Jiang Sheng actually came to Quexian Tower. It seems that he loves this grandson very much!"

Li Wangchuan smiled awkwardly.

Although his words showed his dissatisfaction with his trespassing into Quexian Tower, he did not blame him too much due to his cultivation at the peak of the Great Sage level.

Even Li Zhan was a little bit afraid of the Zongzheng of the Zongzheng Mansion, so he probably didn't take him seriously.

"You've come just in time. My grandson is a prince, so it's only natural for him to receive the Dragon's Roar Wash. As the head of the clan, you won't show partiality in front of me, right, for him being humiliated like this?"

Jiang Xingzhou warned him in advance.

When the princes heard this, anger appeared on their faces. Jiang Xingzhou was too arrogant and was disrespectful to Li Wangchuan.

The Zongzheng Mansion is in charge of royal affairs, and not everyone can sit on the Zongzheng chair.

In terms of seniority, Li Wangchuan is Li Zhan's uncle. His ancestors were one of the founders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he himself is also a great sage.

Princess Changping is not only the emperor's sister, but also the princess consort of the Crown Prince of Zhenbei. With such strength, she can only be ranked as the deputy chief of the imperial clan.

This shows Li Wangchuan's status in the royal family.

"Saint Jiang, you're worrying too much. Although I hold the position of Zongzheng, I'm no different from a wandering cloud and wild crane!"

"It's just that the Dragon Wall collapsed, and it's a matter of great importance. That's why I had to intervene to mediate, fearing it would lead to internal strife within the royal family!"

"There are so many cases of internal strife in the royal family. Brother Wangchuan, please don't use this as an excuse to suppress my grandson!"

Jiang Xingzhou sneered. The royal family always liked to have a set of high-sounding excuses to exclude dissidents.

Jiang Yao's death forced him to find out the truth. Anyone involved in the murder must be killed!

What happened today is obvious. What crime has Li Changqing committed?

"Saint Jiang, please do not be angry. Since I have come forward, I represent the Emperor and will handle this impartially!"

After saying this, he turned around and said, "Everyone who protects the way, please withdraw for now. This is also the emperor's wish!"

Li Wangchuan knew that the prince's protectors were powerful figures and that his own prestige was not enough to convince them, so he brought Li Zhan out.

The shadows in front of the princes faded and gradually disappeared. Li Wangchuan then said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please move to the Zongzheng Mansion!"

……

Arrived at Zongzhengfu.

Li Changqing's treatment was different from before. He was allowed to sit instead of being interrogated in public like a prisoner.

The atmosphere in the hall was rather depressing.

Li Wangchuan, the deputy chiefs of the Imperial Clan, and officials holding important positions in the Imperial Clan Affairs Office were all present.

As the deputy chief of the clan, Li Changping sat below Li Wangchuan. The case files were written by the deputy chief of the clan, Li Fang, and Li Gan was polishing them beside him.

"Uncle, damaging the Dragon Wall is a serious matter. I don't think a trial is necessary. Just convict directly!"

Li Changping spoke first.

She dared to say this because Li Changqing's Dragon's Roar Meridian Cleansing had affected the interests of most of the royal family members.

There will definitely be a collective response.

The fact was just as she expected, and the voices calling for an attack on Li Changqing instantly exploded like a pot of boiling water.

"Sixth Prince, do you have anything to say about what the princess said?"

Li Wangchuan had a solemn expression on his face as he looked curiously at the Sixth Prince, who had become notorious in the capital these days.

"There's nothing to say!"

Li Changqing looked around the hall. They were all blood relatives, glaring at him and accusing him harshly, as if they had a deep blood feud.

"I've already said what needs to be said in Quexian Tower. Are you all wondering if the damage to the Dragon Wall is my fault?"

He sneered, "If you want to accuse someone of something, you'll always find a pretext. There's no point in me saying more. Master Zongzheng, please make the announcement!"

"Since you admit it, uncle, according to the laws of the Li clan, the Sixth Prince must be executed!"

Li Yuan took the lead in attacking.

Li Wangchuan coughed lightly, "Sixth Prince, damaging the Dragon Wall is no small matter. Do you really admit it?"

A smile appeared on Li Changqing's lips. "Master Zongzheng, if you have something to say, just say it directly. If you want to convict me, it won't be so troublesome."

"You know, the damage to the Dragon Wall wasn't my fault, and it's a blessing for the Great Zhou, not a disaster!"

"Haha, what a great Sixth Prince! Not only is he resolute, but could he also read minds?"

Li Wangchuan laughed loudly.

Li Chen frowned, "Uncle, what do you mean by that? It seems like you want to absolve the Sixth Prince of his guilt?"

"Innocent, how can I be exempted from guilt?"

As soon as Li Wangchuan said this, everyone in the room was shocked. Was this the intention of his Zongzheng Mansion or the emperor?

"Master Zongzheng, is this judgment in line with the emperor's will?"

"That's right. Destroying the Dragon Wall is tantamount to destroying our country. Master Zongzheng, please think twice!"

Li Changping took advantage of the public outrage and spoke out for justice.

"Uncle Emperor, please forgive Changping for speaking frankly. The Zongzheng Mansion is not a place where one person has the final say. The Sixth Prince's crimes are well known to all. Personal interests should not be used to override public interests!"

"Using personal interests over public affairs? Haha, Changping, I, Li Wangchuan, have been in charge of the Zongzheng Mansion for over ten years. When did I ever put public affairs above public affairs for personal interests?"

Li Wangchuan's face showed anger.

Li Changping was shocked, knowing that he had spoken out of turn. "Changping did not mean to offend, please forgive me, uncle, but..."

"You don't have to say it!" Li Wangchuan interrupted rudely, "The Dragon Wall was transformed from an ancient dragon, as clearly recorded in the Great Zhou Chronicles!"

"The royal family has all been familiar with this book since childhood. Could it be that you've memorized it so well that you need me to help you recall it?"

Li Wen looked at the river and said solemnly, "When the Great Zhou was established, the divine dragon hid. The dragon's roar was hidden in the wall, benefiting future generations. If a rare opportunity comes, the divine dragon's will will break through the wall and be respected by the world!"

After saying this, he looked at Li Changping sharply and said, "Princess, am I reciting it correctly?"

"I've been familiar with this chapter since I was little, so it must be correct!"

Li Changping said respectfully that it was true that she was a princess, but the Zongzheng Mansion was responsible for handling the royal family's internal affairs and paid attention to seniority.

Facing Li Wangchuan, she dared not disrespect him!

“Just remember it!”

Li Wangchuan's expression gradually darkened. "You are all descendants of the Li family, the future of the country!"

He looked around at everyone, "But for personal gain, you disregard the divine dragon's ambition to break through the wall and try to stir up trouble and confuse right and wrong. How can you still have the nerve to call yourself a descendant of the royal family!"

"Uncle Emperor, why are you speaking so harshly? The Divine Dragon's Ambition is only a legend, no one has ever seen it, yet the Dragon Wall has been destroyed!"

Li Yuan suddenly felt incredible.

Such urgent and commanding words are rarely heard in the Zongzheng Mansion, especially coming from the Zongzheng, which is of great significance.

Only when something major happens to the country will it be so severe.

Li Wangchuan said calmly, "These words just now did not come from my mouth, but were a repetition of the emperor's golden words!"

"This, this is what Father said?"

The princes looked at each other in dismay, their faces suddenly becoming pale. Their father actually favored this bastard?

"The Dragon Wall is shattered, and the star map of the Hanging Star Pavilion is brilliant, showing the charm of a flying dragon in the sky. The head of the academy, Mu Yunshen, confirmed that the damage to the Dragon Wall was indeed due to the manifestation of the Divine Dragon's Ambition!"

Li Wangchuan gave the final answer.

"Let's not discuss this matter any further, Lord Li. This is a blessing bestowed upon our Great Zhou by the divine dragon. Record it truthfully!"

Li Fang bowed, "Yes, Master Zongzheng!"

"Why is it him, Li Changqing, my uncle? I don't accept it!"

Li Chen stood up, his face twisted violently, "How could such a vicious and cruel person possibly inherit the aspirations of the Divine Dragon!"

"Why can't Li Changqing? He is not my son."

Li Zhan's voice echoed in the void of Zongzheng Mansion, and everyone quickly knelt down to worship.

"Son, I dare not!"

Li Chen's face was pale, and his eyes revealed viciousness and resentment towards Li Zhan.

Perhaps he forgot that Li Zhan supported him to become powerful just to contain Li Yuan's power.

But, what Li Chen did was a bit too big.

Not to mention his strong influence in the army, combined with the northern border forces of King Zhenbei, his strength is probably as strong as half of the country!

"The Sixth Prince has been in a trance for some time now, and he should be familiar with some of the conditions in the Great Zhou."

Li Zhan said in the void, "You should be given a position and do something for our Great Zhou!"

"Behind closed doors, we are blood relatives after all. What official position do you think the Sixth Prince should hold?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. The idea of ​​killing Li Changqing was shattered. The emperor was going to personally confer an official title on him?

Why does this bastard always have such good luck!

"Today, the dragon roars and breaks through the wall. The will of the divine dragon is revealed, and it has chosen the Sixth Prince. We should place high hopes on him!"

"Uncle is the elder. Where do you think it would be appropriate for the Sixth Prince to go and gain some experience?"
