The Great Tang Dynasty: The Celestial Master Descends the Mountain, Starts by Being Deceived into Ma

Article 48 states that silence is the rule for all evil deeds!

The next morning.

The sun had just risen when a carriage slowly drove into Chang'an.

Lu Jinghe lifted the curtain, glanced at the familiar street, and couldn't help but stretch.

"I'm finally back."

Although the distance from Lantian to Chang'an is only forty kilometers, their carriage did not travel very fast, and it took them three days to return.

They lingered for so long not because they didn't want to come back sooner, but because Xiao Sizi wanted to see more of the scenery outside.

When we have free time, we get out of the car to catch butterflies and pick wildflowers.

"Brother! Brother!"

Little Sizi lay on the edge of the bed, pointing outside and shouting, "It's Chang'an! Shizi knows the way! That big house over there, that's where Father and Mother live!"

Lu Jinghe rubbed Xiao Sizi's head: "Yes, that's the palace. Brother will take you and sister home."

"Go home?" Little Si blinked, then quickly shook her head in refusal. "I don't want to go home! It's so stuffy and uncomfortable at home!"

She clung to Lu Jinghe's arm, her big eyes brimming with tears, pleading pitifully.

"But Sizi's parents miss Sizi. Doesn't Sizi miss them too?"

"I want to... but I want to go to my brother's house. His house is better than mine."

"You can send your parents to your father's house to find the rhinoceros duck."

Gao Yang, who was listening from the side, couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and pulled Xiao Sizi into his arms, saying, "You little ingrate, if your father and mother hear you say that, they'll spank you."

"Father and Mother won't spank your bottom! Sister, don't upset Persimmon, or he'll get your patron to spank you!"

Little Sizi was quite mischievous. After glancing at Lu Jinghe and confirming that he would definitely side with him, he threatened Gao Yang.

"Huh?" Gao Yang was taken aback, then exclaimed, "He wouldn't dare!"

"Why wouldn't you dare? I saw it. That day, Brother spanked Sister's bottom, and she cried out in pain... ugh!"

Gao Yang blushed instantly, quickly covered Xiao Sizi's mouth, and glared at Lu Jinghe at the same time.

Her eyes held a hint of resentment, and Lu Jinghe understood—she was blaming him for not closing the door properly.

Lu Jinghe glared back directly. Who was afraid of who? If Gao Yang hadn't been up to her tricks every day, would he have been able to resist spanking her?

Even Xiao Sizi discovered it.

This little brat is so young, yet he's already learned to peek through the cracks in the door.

The two glared at each other, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere in the carriage. Little Si looked left and right, sensing that her brother was about to hit her sister again.

Fearing that Gao Yang's beating would implicate him, Xiao Sizi quickly rolled off Gao Yang and hid in a corner of the carriage.

Finally, it was Ah Lü who peeked out from Xiao Si Zi's sleeve and asked, "Young Master, are we going straight to the palace?"

'

Lu Jinghe nodded: "Send them back first, then talk to His Majesty about the glass factory."

"The glass factory!" Little Sizi's eyes lit up instantly. She pulled out the little glass doll that looked exactly like her from her pocket. "Little Li! Little Li is so pretty! Shizi wants to introduce Little Li to her parents! Can I, bro?"

"Of course you can."

"Yay!"

Little Sizi hugged and kissed the glass doll Xiao Li, then lifted her up and said with a grin, "Xiao Li, we're almost home! Your parents will be so happy to see you!"

The carriage continued on its way and soon arrived at the gates of the imperial city.

As soon as he got out of the car, Lu Jinghe saw a familiar figure jogging over.

"Oh my, Young Master Lu, Your Highness the Princess, you've finally returned!"

"These past few days, I've been eagerly awaiting your return to the capital."

Gao Yang carried the little Sizi out of the carriage and asked, "Did Father have any orders for Eunuch Wu She to come out and greet us?"

"Your Highness, His Majesty is currently in court," Wu She bowed and said. "His Majesty has instructed me to take you directly to the Taiji Hall."

"Taiji Hall? Why are we being summoned to the morning court session?"

Wu She smiled meaningfully, "His Majesty said that we should take advantage of the morning court session to finish what we haven't done yet, and Your Highness and the young master must be present."

Lu Jinghe understood; this meant a marriage was about to be arranged.

The completion of the glass factory also gave Li Shimin a reason to bestow a marriage upon him.

Wu She smiled and said, "This servant would like to congratulate Your Highnesses first."

"Haha, remember to come to the wedding next month, Mr. Wu She." Lu Jinghe patted Wu She on the shoulder, then took Gao Yang's hand.

"Let's go, let's go to the imperial court and take a look."

"I've never seen what court proceedings are like."

The group passed through several palace gates and arrived outside the Taiji Hall.

Before they even entered the hall, they heard a piercing voice from inside: "Your Majesty, I wish to impeach Cheng Chumo, the son of the Duke of Lu!"

"This boy runs rampant in Lantian County, bullying men and women, committing all sorts of evil deeds!"

"Furthermore, there is Zheng Rentai, the magistrate of Lantian County, who colluded with Cheng Chumo, treating him as an honored guest, finding virtuous women for him, and forcibly seizing the people's fertile land! We implore Your Majesty to punish him severely!"

"Bullshit!"

Cheng Yaojin rolled up his sleeves, glaring with his large, round eyes: "What makes you say such things about my son! Show me the evidence!"

He knew that Cheng Chumo had gone to Lantian County with Lu Jinghe and Princess Gaoyang to handle important matters, so how could he possibly have done something like this?

Outside the hall, Lu Jinghe paused, raising an eyebrow.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

Wu She's expression changed, and he quickly stopped him, saying, "Young Master Lu, why don't we wait outside until His Majesty has finished dealing with this matter?"

"Need not."

Lu Jinghe smiled and strode towards the Taiji Hall. "I'd like to hear what evil things Cheng Chumo has done."

Gao Yang's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the little girl and followed. Something big was about to happen.

This is not to be missed.

Inside the Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne, expressionless, watching the petty official spewing spittle.

This person's surname is Zheng, given name Wenyuan, and he is from a distant branch of the Yingyang Zheng clan, apparently from Lantian.

The family has been separated for a long time, and there is almost no connection between them and the Zheng family of Yingyang.

This guy holds a sinecure in the court and rarely speaks. What's wrong with him today?

What did Lu Jinghe and the others do in Lantian?

It's incredible that this guy could impeach Cheng Chumo like this.

When the military group heard that their good nephew had been impeached, how could they be happy about it?

Led by Cheng Yaojin, they started spraying directly.

Then, some members of the civil service also joined in, and their criticism was quite intense.

Zheng Wenyuan, his neck stiff, shouted, "Your son's actions in Lantian County are supported by both witnesses and physical evidence; I would never speak falsely!"

"Damn it!" Cheng Yaojin cursed angrily.

"General Cheng, please have some self-respect!"

"Produce the witnesses and physical evidence!"

"This..." Zheng Wenyuan was speechless. He had no idea about witnesses or physical evidence. He just said what Lantian said.

We're all blood relatives, I wouldn't harm him.

"Alright."

Li Shimin spoke calmly, and the court fell silent instantly.

He glanced at Zheng Wenyuan, his tone flat and unreadable: "Minister Zheng, you just said that Cheng Chumo is running rampant in Lantian. Do you have any specific examples?"
