Your Highness Prince Yong is far too lawless!

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review said to the clerks, "These are just Prince Yong's angry words, so don't bother writing them down."

The Minister of Justice waved his hand, "The Ministry of Justice doesn't need to record this either."

However, Lai Mingcheng refused to budge, saying, "The Censorate will record Prince Yong's words truthfully!"

"His Highness Prince Yong is ignorant of the law, disrespectful of the law, and acts recklessly!"

"His behavior is arrogant, he doesn't know what's important, and he has no respect for the law. He will surely become a scourge to Daqing in the future!"

"Your Highness, I will certainly present what you said today to His Majesty and let him determine your crime!"

Li Chang'an gratefully cupped his hands in thanks and said sincerely, "Thank you so much, you lazy bum!"

"If all officials in Daqing were like you, with civil officials dying for their principles and military generals fighting to the death, unifying the world would be just around the corner!"

Li Chang'an was telling the truth; he was just waiting for Lai Mingcheng to impeach him.

Lai Mingcheng, who was furious, suddenly paused, realizing that these were not words that a spoiled brat would utter.

"Hmph! Enough with your sweet talk, just wait for His Majesty's judgment!"

Regarding Yuan Meng's matter, the Ministry of Justice invited professionals to explain her unusual fetish to Lai Mingcheng.

Unless a joint trial is held by three courts, the Inspectorate does not participate in the trial, so Lai Ming-cheng was not clear about the criminal investigation.

Lai Mingcheng was stunned, but in the end he had no choice but to listen to the professional advice.

The incident of Li Chang'an beating up Ling Ba Yuan Meng became a matter of mutual consent.

……

Royal study room.

Emperor Qing sat behind the curtain with a dark expression; there weren't many people present.

The Crown Prince, Prince Jing, the Second Prince, the three judicial officials, Chen Pingping, Mei Zhili, and the person involved, Li Chang'an.

The fact that even the defendant, Li Chang'an, was summoned further illustrates Emperor Qing's unwillingness to severely punish him.

After listening to the reports from the three judicial departments, both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince looked at Li Chang'an.

There was a hint of admiration in the Crown Prince's eyes, while the Second Prince secretly gave him a thumbs up!

They heard Li Chang'an's arrogant words very clearly!

How they wanted to say, "My father is the emperor, who can do anything to me! Who can convict me!"

But they can't!

Emperor Qing has high expectations for them; speaking like that would probably get them beaten to death!

Li Chang'an is not a prince, and his literary fame is too great. He is neither strictly disciplined nor does he hold a very high position. He is truly enviable!

Name: Li Chengqian

Age: 15 years old

Realm: None

Talents: Performance (Rank 9), Political Strategy (Rank 7), Fashion (Rank 7)

Abilities: Performance (Ninth Rank), Political Strategy (Sixth Rank), Painting (Third Rank)

Emotion: 40

The prince's acting skills were superb, and he also developed his painting abilities.

This guy, has he already started secretly drawing Li Yunrui?

Once everyone had arrived, Emperor Qing slowly said, "The case of Prince Yong bullying Yuan Meng is unfounded. So, what do you think of the case of forcibly taking Si Lili?"

"Your Highness, speak!"

The Crown Prince cautiously said, "Uncle Yongwang's words and actions are inappropriate, and he doesn't quite understand the law. I believe he did not intend to break the law."

"Your subject suggests that you ask Prince Yong to compensate Si Lili with a large sum of money, and that the three judicial departments send someone to teach Prince Yong about laws and criminal law."

"Furthermore, I request that Consort Liu discipline Prince Yong more strictly and confine him to his quarters for three months to reflect on his mistakes!"

Emperor Qing nodded slowly, "That makes sense. Li Chengze, tell me more!"

The second prince tossed his hair and declared loudly, "Your subject agrees!"

"Furthermore, if Prince Yong likes Si Lili, he can take her as a concubine. This will avoid criticism from others and protect the royal family's reputation!"

After the second prince finished speaking, he winked at Li Chang'an, his eyes filled with smugness.

Si Lili is such a stunning beauty, this should be able to win over Prince Yong!

However, Emperor Qing suddenly roared, "Idiot!"

The sound was so sudden that it shook the bookshelf, and Li Chengze was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot.

"Your subject is terrified!"

The little alpaca was genuinely terrified; wasn't his suggestion good?

If Li Chang'an takes Si Lili as his wife, wouldn't he be able to avoid being stigmatized?

Li Chang'an shook his head inwardly. The Second Prince wasn't a stupid pig, he was a grass mud horse!

Chapter 45 The case of forcibly taking the courtesan: His Majesty is the ringleader!

Behind the gauze curtain, Emperor Qing was clearly furious.

"How could the imperial family, so sacred and holy, possibly take a courtesan as a concubine!"

"Li Chengze, where's your brain?!"

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

The second prince had only recently entered politics, and some of his frivolous and unrestrained habits had not yet been corrected.

Afterwards, Emperor Qing consulted the opinions of the Three Judicial Offices.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Both the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review agreed, and when they asked about Lai Mingcheng, Li Chang'an heard Emperor Qing sigh.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lai Mingcheng's answer was very straightforward.

"I second the proposal!"

Upon hearing his seconding of the motion, Li Chang'an saw that both the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and the Minister of Justice breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the usually tense Prince Jing felt much less stressed.

Li Chang'an told him to go to a brothel and beat up Li Hongcheng, and then Prince Jing would go to the palace to complain.

As a result, Li Chang'an caused such a huge uproar that courtesans all over the city filed complaints against him. It was truly astonishing!

Seeing that Consort Liu's goal of leaving the palace had been achieved, Lai Mingcheng had no objections, and Prince Jing was also relieved.

The prescient Li Chang'an found it very strange, as the phrase "I second the motion" did not quite fit Lai Mingcheng's character.

Even Emperor Qing couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe! Imperial Censor Lai is surprisingly easy to talk to today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Mingcheng immediately chimed in.

“Prince Yong is young, but his heart is not bad! His moral character is flawed, and he disregards the laws of the country, all because of insufficient education!”

Emperor Qing nodded and said, "That's right, so I have granted Consort Liu permission to move out of the palace to discipline my third brother."

Lai Mingcheng's expression suddenly turned indignant, and his voice rose considerably.

"However, this case has already occurred! Someone must be held accountable!"

Emperor Qing shifted back uncomfortably, suddenly having a bad feeling.

However, before he was mentally prepared, Lai Mingcheng had already begun.

"In my opinion, Your Majesty is the mastermind behind this case!"

Emperor Qing gasped, feeling as if he were witnessing a spectacle unfold before his own eyes.

Lai Mingcheng didn't make things difficult for Prince Yong; instead, he ended up blaming himself!

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

Lai Mingcheng was well-prepared and proceeded to present his memorial methodically: "To raise a child without teaching him is the father's fault! Prince Yong lost his father at a young age, and his elder brother is his father!"

"His Highness Prince Yong is outrageous, arrogant, lawless, and disregards the law!"

"All these problems arise from insufficient education and are entirely Your Majesty's fault!"

"Your Majesty has failed in your duty as the eldest brother to educate and guide the Prince of Yong, leading to his current moral depravity and immorality!"

“Prince Yong was enfeoffed as a prince at the age of five and established his own residence at the age of ten. His Majesty did not allow his own mother to leave the palace with him. Therefore, Prince Yong was unsupervised and spent his days mingling with eunuchs and maids. He even invited courtesans into his residence to recite erotic poems.”

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

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