Chapter 1 Your Majesty, please call me the Crown Prince!
Chapter 1 Your Majesty, please call me the Crown Prince!
The fourteenth year of Zhenguan.
Outside the Manna Palace.
Li Chengqian limped forward.
His mind kept thinking about what was about to happen.
If nothing unexpected happens.
Li Erhui would whip him with his horsewhip because he was pleased with the thing.
That's right.
The current Li Chengqian is no longer the previous Li Chengqian.
Instead, he merged with a soul from later generations and became a brand new Li Chengqian.
It’s a pity that we came too late.
Just before that, Chengxin was killed.
The Ganlu Temple is within easy reach.
Li Chengqian took a step forward and came to the center of the hall. He saw Li Er in a daze for a moment.
This is the man with a series of exaggerated prefixes.
The appearance of the sun and the sky, the posture of the dragon and the phoenix.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Er shouted angrily with veins popping out on his forehead.
In his opinion, if Li Chengqian did not take the initiative to kneel down and admit his mistake, he would not be aware of the need to reflect on it.
Keeping concubines and enjoying sexual pleasures in the Eastern Palace, where are the qualities that a prince should have?
Li Chengqian came to his senses, knelt down silently without saying a word.
Everyone in the hall was shocked. They all knelt down, banging their heads on the ground, and shuddered with fear.
Li Er walked forward slowly, as if he was accumulating anger and was ready to explode at any time.
Standing in front of Li Chengqian, he stared at him coldly and stretched out his right hand, "Horsewhip!"
The eunuch hurried forward and handed the horsewhip into Li Er's hand.
With the whip in hand, Li Er shouted, "Turn around."
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Er, then turned and left silently.
Unknown things are not scary, but knowing that Li Er's whip may fall at any time, the feeling of fear and not knowing how much pain it will cause, makes Li Chengqian feel extremely stressed at the moment.
Snapped!
A whip came down and hit Li Chengqian hard on the back.
The pain of being whipped deep into his body and into his bones swept over him, and Li Chengqian couldn't help but groan.
"What the hell are you?"
Li Er whipped down with one whip, still questioning, and the second whip followed.
Snapped!
"You're a loser!"
uh-huh!
Li Chengqian felt pain deep in his soul and could not bear it.
It hurts too much.
The pain is horrible.
Li Er, do you really want to beat me to death?
I have never been beaten like this in my past life or this life.
What makes you, Li Er?
"Call?"
"You still feel pain?"
"As a crown prince, you don't know how to cultivate your moral character. You commit adultery in the East Palace and keep concubines. How can you be a role model for the world?"
Li Chengqian had been in unbearable pain for a long time, and when he heard Li Er's accusations and scolding, he could no longer bear the anger in his heart.
The debauched East Palace?
Keep a pet?
How can we set an example for the world?
How well have you, Li Er, done?
You are not promiscuous, you are noble.
I can't set an example for the world, but can you?
Standing on the moral high ground, whipping me and scolding me.
Why?
Li Chengqian was filled with anger and unwillingness, so he turned around suddenly.
Li Er's third whip fell just in time.
He also didn't expect Li Chengqian to turn around suddenly, and he had no time to stop.
that's it.
Puff.
The third whip hit Li Chengqian's face.
A bloodstain suddenly appeared on Li Chengqian's face.
Saw this scene.
Li Er was horrified, but his expression did not change at all. Only his left hand, which was behind his back and clenched into a fist, was shaking constantly.
Missed!
He had only one thought in his mind at this moment.
Li Er was trying hard to hold back the throbbing in his heart.
His eyes remained cold and unmoved.
Feeling a burning pain, Li Chengqian reached out to touch his face, and felt a sticky and warm touch. When he looked at his hand, he saw blood.
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at me coldly. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Your Majesty, is whipping me with a horsewhip a family law or a national law?"
"If it is a family rule, Your Majesty has no right to hit me." No right?
Li Er, who was originally a little shaken, was once again ignited by Li Chengqian's words.
"I am your father, and it is only natural for me to spank you."
"Ha ha!"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but sneer: "If it's my mother's punishment, whipping me with a horsewhip, I have nothing to say."
"But your majesty, you killed your brother!"
"Shut up!"
"You imprisoned the Emperor's grandfather."
"I told you to shut up!"
"You want to make Princess Qi your princess."
Li Chengqian raised his voice and shouted mercilessly: "You have bad conduct, are cruel and ruthless, and have poor personal ethics. What qualifications do you have to use family rules against me?"
Every word Li Chengqian said hit the deepest pain and filth in Li Er's heart.
"If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. If you want me to have good character, first look at yourself and see if you are setting a good example."
"Throughout history, powerful officials, princes, and nobles have kept pets."
"I am the crown prince of the Tang Empire, so why can't I have a pet?"
"Is it against the will of heaven or is it a disaster for the country and the people?"
"If you want to use family rules, it's your mother too!"
"you……."
Li Chengqian sneered: "Not worthy!"
The last sentence.
Li Er felt dizzy, his mind went blank, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
He pointed his whip at Li Chengqian and stared at him intently.
"I am the emperor and I apply the laws of the country!" Li Er tried to save his dignity by force.
"Ah!"
Li Chengqian sneered, "Your Majesty, are you making up your mind?"
"The state has national laws, and families have family rules."
"You are talking about national law. The imperial court has its own Zongzheng Temple, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple."
"I am guilty, and these government offices will do the job."
"Your Majesty, you whipped me three times without the permission of the officials. How can this be based on the law? It is nothing more than private punishment."
Regardless of Li Er's embarrassment, Li Chengqian continued, "Besides, according to the national law, is it illegal for a prince to have a favorite?"
Li Er was so shaken by what he said that he could not stand and his face was in pain.
"Chengqian!"
"Your Majesty, please call me Prince!"
Li Chengqian roared angrily, his rage pouring out.
The whole hall echoed with his roar.
This roar shocked Li Er into unconsciousness.
"Cheng Qian, what on earth do you want to do?"
"What does your majesty want to do?"
Li Chengqian slowly stood up and limped out of the hall.
Li Er looked at Li Chengqian's back and shouted, "Chengqian, don't force me!"
"Forcing you?"
"hehe!"
Li Chengqian turned around and said angrily, "I'm annoyed."
"I won't pretend anymore."
"You let the King of Wei live in the Wude Palace, and the court and the people are in an uproar, with constant discussions."
"You turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the idea of replacing me."
"I forced you?"
"It's His Majesty who is forcing me!"
Done.
Li Chengqian walked out of the hall again. Li Er could no longer stand, and the eunuchs hurriedly supported him.
at this time.
Li Chengqian stopped again and spoke with his back to Li Er.
"Your Majesty, if you want to depose me, as soon as the decree to depose the Crown Prince arrives, I will immediately go to my mother's mausoleum and commit suicide."
“Never hesitate!”
The tone was decisive and firm.
He limped away into the Tai Chi Hall.
Li Er couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.
