Jiang Huang's face turned pale and he coughed hard.

"Edict, passing on the throne to the third prince Jiang Jinjing."

After Jiang Huang finished speaking, he waved to a few people on the side to help the second prince and the prince into the house.

The rest of the people were kicked out, and no one knew what happened inside. But after half a cup of tea, news of the emperor's death began to spread.

News of his death also began to spread throughout the imperial capital.

The day after the emperor's death, Jiang Jinjing succeeded to the throne.

On the second day after taking the throne, Jiang Jinjing ordered Lu Qiping to take care of himself at home and not go out on the grounds that he was old.

Shangshu Ling and Nei Shiling were also trapped at home on this grounds.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but Jiang Jinjing has begun to shuffle the cards, preparing to support his own people to take over.

Some of the other ministers are doing fine, but Lu Qiping's situation is a little bad.

On the night when the emperor died, the other party personally admitted that he was responsible for the fall of Jiyun City.

That means that Lu Weizhen and others were all harmed by him.

In addition, when Lu Chensheng was assassinated, it was his own fault.

Such behavior would simply destroy the Lu family.

Originally Jiang Jinjing did such a thing to provoke internal fighting, but now.

He has become the emperor, but this matter has been exposed. Everyone can see that the other party is ready to eradicate the root cause.

Another day passed, and many ministers in the imperial court were demoted or reassigned. The imperial court almost took on a new look.

Jiang Jinjing sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers below with a touch of satisfaction on his face.

Finally, he did everything he had to do after taking office.

“It’s time for the envoy to Chengzhou to come back, right?”

Jiang Jinjing looked at the minister below and asked thoughtfully.

"Back to the Emperor, it's almost time."

An old man walked out from the side. He was the aide who followed the second prince before.

In terms of intelligence, he is not low at all. In addition to his profound knowledge, he was naturally favored by the second prince.

"Very good, tell me to go down and have Lu Chensheng arrested and brought to the palace to see me after he comes back."

The ministers were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then a minister came out immediately.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done. Lu Chensheng is now the number one scholar in the Jiang Kingdom. Many scholars are led by Lu Chensheng. If we capture him, I am afraid that the entire Jiang Kingdom will be in chaos."

With Lu Chensheng's reputation, the ministers would not be able to touch him easily.

"Can't move?"

When Jiang Jinjing heard this, he immediately laughed angrily, "Have you ever seen the Red Mansion? This is a book about rebellion. Isn't it possible to arrest him with this book?"

Some ministers twitched their lips slightly when they heard this. In fact, some people already knew about this book.

It's just that no one said much about it. After all, it's just a book.

Lu Chensheng had done a lot of things for Jiang State in the past, such as controlling floods and repelling enemies, which were all great achievements.

Looking at it this way, how can the other party be a rebel?

It's just that now, it doesn't seem impossible to really use this book to talk about things.

At this moment, only Jiang Jinjing's confidants on the side asked why Jiang Jinjing wanted to capture Lu Chensheng.

One is that the treasury is empty. He needs to capture Lu Chensheng and collect the money that Lu Chensheng earned in the past.

According to their investigation, these silver taels already amount to millions of taels!

If you take this amount of money, it will be enough to meet your urgent needs.

In addition to this, Lu Chensheng also has a lot of money-making businesses, such as white paper and fireworks.

These are hens that can lay golden eggs, so Jiang Jinjing is naturally greedy.

In addition to these, Jiang Jinjing's previous plot against the Lu family and the assassination of Lu Chensheng could no longer be concealed. In this case, he naturally planned to do it more thoroughly.

"Your Majesty is wise! This person has blatantly written such a treasonous book and should be taken down!"

A minister on the side immediately responded.

Seeing this, the others looked at each other and bowed down one by one, shouting that the emperor is wise.

"Miss, something is wrong!"

Xiao He hurriedly ran into Linyu's boudoir, his face full of anxiety.

"What's going on? You're in such a panic."

Linyu was embroidering in her boudoir, and when she saw Xiaohe running over in a hurry, she was stunned for a moment.

"The newly succeeded emperor wants to move Mr. Lu. He said that he will be brought into the palace one day when Mr. Lu comes back to punish him for treason."

Xiao He listened to the news she had just received, her face full of anxiety.

When Linyu heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

She had heard a lot these days about what happened after the new emperor ascended the throne, and that Zhongshu Ling and his family were currently imprisoned.

It is absolutely possible that the emperor wants to touch Lu Chensheng.

"Xiao He, you must go out and intercept Mr. Lu and tell him not to come back."

Linyu quickly came to his senses and shouted from the side.

"Miss, if this slave goes out, you will not be able to get away with it if it is found out. Moreover, the city gate has been strictly guarded now."

When Xiao He heard this, he said anxiously.

As Linyu's personal maid, she went out to spread the news like this, but it was found out that there was absolutely no good fruit to eat.

Linyu also fell silent after hearing this. He really didn't think carefully about it just now.

"Let Chai San come."

Chai San is a domestic slave who was trained by his father since he was a child. He is extremely reliable and trustworthy, and few people know about it.

For this matter, it was just right to send him there.

Chai San quickly came to Linyu, with an ordinary face that he wouldn't recognize even if he were thrown on the street.

"We must try our best to get out of the city and prevent Lu Chensheng from entering the city."

Linyu looked at Chai San in front of him and ordered directly.

Upon hearing this, Chai San immediately retreated without asking a word during the whole process.

"Let me tell my cousin secretly and ask my father to find a way to send my cousin away immediately."

Linyu thought for a while and said something to Xiaohe.

In the city, the person who has the closest relationship with Lu Chensheng is undoubtedly Liu Wensheng.

If the emperor wants to touch Lu Chensheng, then her cousin may not be able to escape.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Linyu quickly decided to let Liu Wensheng leave.

Xiaohe responded and left in a hurry.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has never seen peace in the imperial capital. At this moment, he can still feel a sense of depression.

Linyu raised his eyes and looked towards the palace, his eyes full of melancholy.

She and the current emperor have some blood relationship, but it is a pity that the current emperor will not care about these blood relationships.

Today's emperor's iron-blooded methods make people feel scared.
