Chapter 130: Taking over means taking over, taking over means taking over

The dragon whip has not been used yet.

It was as if the limit of what the civil and military officials could endure had been reached.

After Li Rui entered, the entire hall fell silent.

Li Rui walked forward as if no one was around. Although his figure swayed slightly like a dying candle, his steps were extremely firm.

He walked to the front of the palace and bowed his head, "Your Majesty! I was busy with personal matters and was unable to attend the morning court on time. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"

Li Hong sighed, and personally went down to help him up: "Brother is innocent, please don't torture me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Rui stood up with a sad face.

Li Hong looked sad: "Brother, why are you so haggard?!"

aside.

Qin Muye's eyes twitched when he heard this.

Good boy!
Don’t you know why he looks so haggard?

What is this dragon whip used for?
The one who beat me and Li Xingluo?
No?

I see that you, Li Rui, have thick eyebrows and big eyes. Isn't it inappropriate to retaliate against people like this?

You didn’t write down your fate?
Qin Muye subconsciously glanced at Li Xingluo and happened to meet her eyes.

Just a glance and the two of them knew what the other meant.

Even if the Dragon Beating Whip was really aimed at the two of them, and even if Li Rui was the most powerful master of Daqian, he would never let this thing fall on his back.

Never mind the truth.

As soon as the whip fell, the controversial nature of this trip to Lingnan was shrouded in dust.

Even the majesty of the dragon whip will be shattered to the ground.

It is not only a heavy blow to the Princess Party.

It was also a political disaster for Daqian.

Qin Muye wanted to curse. He knew that his children and grandchildren were Li Rui's weak point, but Gou Ba's weak point was too soft.

He glanced back.

I found that You Tianlie was grinning.

When You Tianlie saw him, he immediately mouthed to him: "Stupid Dagger!"

You Tianlie: “???”

Qin Muye silently rolled up his sleeves, ready to cause trouble in the court.

The other end.

Li Rui sighed, "My family is in trouble. Your Majesty, please don't mention it again."

Li Hong sighed softly, patted the back of Li Rui's hand gently, and returned to the dragon throne.

That's when.

Li Heng stood up and said, "Your Majesty! I think that this promotion of Lord Qin is unfair. Although Lord Qin has made great achievements during this trip to Lingnan, his methods are too radical and bloody. He will do anything to achieve his achievements. If he can be promoted for this, it will surely allow cruel officials inside and outside the court to run rampant. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Li Hong frowned and looked at the other ministers: "What do you think?"

Li Rui is there to keep the situation in check, and Li Heng is there to lead the team.

Finally someone couldn't help it.

"I second the proposal!"

"Lord Qin's move is really disappointing to the meritorious officials."

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

Slowly, more and more people jumped out.

Some are from the prime minister’s party, some are from the prince’s party, and some are aristocratic officials whose families were implicated.

Although they are only a minority in proportion, their momentum is quite huge.

Qin Muye clenched the ingots hidden in his sleeves.

It was as if I had returned to the day when Feng Shuang was killed.

Hard.

The fist is hard.

He knew some people were disgusting, but he didn't expect them to be this disgusting.

But he felt like something was strange.

Familiar taste...

Li Hong had a gloomy face. When the voices of condemnation died down, he looked at Li Rui and asked, "What do you think, brother?"

Li Rui took a deep breath and bowed, "Your Majesty! The appointment, dismissal, promotion and demotion of officials are all decided by Your Majesty. I have neither the power nor the desire to interfere. I came to the morning court only for another matter."

"Oh?"

Li Hong leaned forward slightly: "What's the matter, brother?"

Li Rui slowly took off the dragon whip on his back and said loudly: "Heroes emerge in troubled times, while rats are raised in prosperous times! The Central Plains has been stable for more than ten years, and some people have long since betrayed their original intentions and will do anything for their own interests and achievements.

His Majesty!

I came here today to fight these people who are eager for success and power!"

As soon as these words came out.

The atmosphere in the entire hall became hectic.

Ready to fight!

Finally ready to fight!

Li Hong asked in a deep voice: "Brother, who are you going to hit?"

Li Rui was furious: "Li Heng, kneel down!"

Li Heng: “Ah?”

The ministers: “Ah?”

Li Xingluo: “…”

Qin Muye: "I knew it..."

Li Heng's lips trembled a little: "Da, Da Zongzheng, you..."

"Your Majesty!"

"Yes!"

Li Heng's face turned pale. He took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Li Rui.

Li Rui's eyes widened with anger: "Do you know why I hit you?"

Li Heng's lips trembled: "I, I..."

Li Rui shouted: "Justice is in the heart of people. You have read the books of sages for so many years, but you are still confused by relatives and friends! My grandson is doing evil, and I feel ashamed. I know I can't refute it. I just hate that I can't kill this evildoer with my own hands.

You cannot tell right from wrong and frame a hero!
Tell me, are you guilty?

"Excuse me, I'm guilty!"

"Snapped!"

One whip down!
The cloth is torn!

The skin is torn apart!

Li Heng felt pain and fell directly to the ground. His body kept shaking and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping.

Li Rui looked at Li Hong and said, "Your Majesty! There are many people in the royal family who cannot distinguish right from wrong! I am the chief of the royal family, and I should rectify the chaos and set an example for others. Please allow me to execute the sentence in front of the palace!"

"allow!"

"Someone, come here! Bring those evil creatures up here!"

next moment.

More than a dozen clan members tied their hands and walked to the front of the hall, kneeling down in unison: "Please punish me, Grand Master!"

The dragon whip dances wildly.

All I can say is that the strongest Grandmaster is just strong.

The force of each whip is just right.

So as not to damage your vitality.

But his skin was torn and blood was splattered, and the pain was so excruciating that he wished he was dying.

After a dozen or so whips, the whole hall fell silent.

Li Rui was still not satisfied: "Your Majesty! There are many treacherous people in the court. Please let me do it for you!"

Li Hong did not hesitate: "Yes!"

Hey!
There was an uproar in the hall.

They finally understood who this morning court session was for.

The official who had just "seconded the motion" with great satisfaction suddenly felt his legs weaken on the spot.

Li Rui's eyes were red as he pointed at the palace guards and said, "You guys, drag over here all the treacherous people who just attacked Lord Qin!"

"Yes!"

After a while, more than a dozen officials of different ranks were dragged out.

None of the official positions were high.

But it's not much lower.

You should know that in Daqian, only officials of the sixth rank and above are eligible to attend court.

Li Rui didn't care about that and just whipped him.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the Ministry of Justice's Scribe Shi fainted immediately after being beaten.

The royal family members were just punished.

This is really a beating to death!

This whip directly stressed out the other people who were waiting to be punished.

But Li Rui didn't give them time to be afraid and whipped them more than ten times in succession.

If not dead, then seriously injured.

Quiet!

Still quiet!

You Tianlie swallowed his saliva. Fortunately, he was rational and kept the interests and reputation of the Qin family in his heart, otherwise he might have said something mean just now.

This would be a blow from Li Rui.

hiss……

After all, he is the most powerful master under Qin Kaijiang.

I may not be able to bear it.

The prince lowered his head even more, not even raising it once from beginning to end. Fortunately, he was dealt with by his father yesterday, otherwise...

But what does this mean?
Do you want the royal family to side with Li Xingluo?
Li Rui heaved a sigh of relief, held the dragon whip in both hands and walked towards Li Xingluo: "Empress..."

Li Xingluo saw that he was about to salute him, so he quickly stepped forward to hold him back: "Grand Master, you must not do that!"

"Di Ji!"

Li Rui said in a sad tone: "I, an old minister, failed to educate my son properly, which led to such a terrible disaster. Not only did it cause harm to countless innocent people, but it also ruined a young and good official!

Such crimes should be punished by the imperial envoy.

But the Dragon Whip can only be held by people with the surname Li.

Please ask the princess to give Master Xiao Qin a whip!"

Li Xingluo said quickly: "Although Prince Yong is lax, he is not wrong. The Grand Master also separated his son for the sake of the country, which gave the bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of it. The fault is not the Grand Master, please do not make the younger generation suffer!"

Qin Muye readily agreed: "Yes, Great Master, please don't make us suffer!"

Although he hasn't figured out what the design is yet.

But there is no doubt that Li Rui deserves the title of "Wall of the Empire".

I felt a little embarrassed for killing someone's grandson.

If we give the old comrade a whip again, it would be too outrageous.

Li Hong sighed: "Brother! Please don't make these two children suffer."

"Ugh!"

Li Rui sighed, "Thank you, Princess, for showing mercy! My useless son is very fragile. If I hadn't spared his evil wife's life, he might not have been able to hold on now."

Then, he stood up and looked at the royal family member who had just been whipped: "I, Li Qian, a royal family member, should be dedicated to the country and justice. If you don't care about right and wrong in such a big case and only care about human feelings, then you might as well not be named Li in the future."

"That's what the Great Master is teaching you!"

A group of royal family members admitted their mistakes one after another.

Li Rui secretly winked at Li Xingluo.

Li Xingluo understood and immediately consoled them: "Everyone has feelings for each other, it's not a big deal, don't blame yourself."

The royal family members were very moved: "Thank you, Princess!"

Li Hong stroked his beard and sighed: "Only a man who knows his mistakes and can correct them can be a real man. Thank you, brother, for waking up all the officials on my behalf."

Everyone: "..."

They looked at the dozen people lying unconscious on the ground.

It feels like some people have been awakened.

But some people...I'm afraid they won't wake up.

Li Hong stood up and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

The show is over.

This is useless!

All the civil and military officials present felt a little dizzy, and the scene just now seemed like a dream.

They are now certain.

This is a very enjoyable fishing trip.

But they just couldn't figure it out.

Do we need to use a dragon whip when fishing now?
Moreover, the bait was Li Rui, who had just experienced the beheading of his grandson and the serious illness of his only son, as well as a dozen or so highly valued clan members.

I'm afraid this is the only way to catch fish in a disadvantageous situation!

How can this be a dragon whip?
This is clearly a killing stick!

But...what does the emperor mean?
Do you want the royal family to side with the princess?
Li Hongke had no intention of answering their questions, but just smiled gently and said: "The welcoming banquet will be held at Yongqing Palace at noon, and all the meritorious officials must arrive."

Say it.

He came down and held Li Rui's forearm, and the two brothers left the hall together.

Only people were left looking at each other.

……

After a grand court meeting.

Obviously, more people greeted Qin Muye with a smile.

Qin Muye said a few polite words and then walked out of the palace with Li Xingluo.

We didn't talk much along the way.

Arrived in front of the carriage of the princess’s mansion.

Li Xingluo turned around and said with a smile: "Do you want to go back and bring your wife to the feast?"

"Ok!"

Qin Muye nodded.

Li Xingluo bit his lip and said, "It's still early. Do you want to sit in the carriage together for a while?"

Qin Muye looked into her eyes, which seemed to flash with a hint of confusion.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

When all the civil and military officials had not yet left.

The two of them got on the same carriage.

Just sat in.

Li Xingluo put up a soundproofing sheet and let out a long sigh.

Qin Muye was a little curious: "Today's grand court meeting has wiped out all the grudges that the royal family has against you. Aren't you happy?"

Li Xingluo curled his lips: "Of course I'm happy..."

Qin Muye smiled and said, "Do you feel that the entire trip to Lingnan is just a test to see if your sword is sharp, but it has no real meaning."

Li Xingluo stretched lazily, outlining his perfect figure to the fullest.

She moved gently towards Qin Muye.

Qin Muye dodged subconsciously.

She just whispered: "I just want to borrow your shoulder to lean on, don't be so stingy~"

Then, Qin Muye stopped struggling.

Li Xingluo put his hands on his shoulders, resting his cheek on the back of his hands, and said in a dreamy voice: "Sometimes, talking to you is really relaxing, as if you know everything without me saying anything."

Qin Muye felt that she was inexplicably pitiful at the moment: "I don't know why you don't trust the emperor so much, but you don't have to treat everything as fake.

For example, today, the grudge that the royal family has against you has been wiped out.

As long as you can hold something in your hand, no matter where it comes from, the moment you hold it in your hand, it is yours!"

"for example?"

Li Xingluo looked at his profile and blinked her eyelashes: "Do you count?"

Qin Muye raised his eyebrows: "Of course!"

Finish this sentence.

He suddenly felt something was wrong.

Afraid that she would go crazy, he really held himself in her hands.

But fortunately, Li Xingluo did not move.

The only reaction is...

She blushed! ?
No?

You suddenly change to this fairy-like style, which is really confusing to me!
However, Qin Muye could really feel that she was in a somewhat powerless state.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "To be honest, I also think your father is a little too fierce. His control over the overall situation is so strong that it is suffocating. But he is also a human being. As long as he is a human being, he cannot be omnipotent.

You feel that the trip to Lingnan is just a test for you.

But I think that they have been unable to find the right person and are forced to wait for a sword that can cut off everything.

Under a dynasty, individual strength may not be enough.

But as long as we are strong enough, we can force him to make a new choice."

"Hopefully!"

"You do not trust me?"

"I believe you!"

Li Xingluo stood up from his shoulder and said, "No wonder you can coax the enemy's daughter into a trance. You are really good at coaxing people. Go and coax your little wife first. I am not in a hurry here."

Qin Muye: “???”

How come you're so sure you can get the deal?
He shook his head and prepared to get out of the car.

Li Xingluo called him again: "Qin Muye!"

"how?"

"If one day I tell you everything about me, can you still comfort me like you do today?"

"meeting!"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"By standing by your side, I am ready to accept everything from you. As long as you don't change, I will always be here."

"I know, let's play!"

"???"

"See you later!"

Watched Qin Muye get off the car.

Li Xingluo felt much better. She stuck her head out and said, "Go back home... No! Go to the clothing store!"

……

Yongqing Palace.

"Heng! Thank you for your hard work!"

Li Rui applied medicine on Li Heng's back with a smile.

Li Heng grimaced in pain: "It was such a pleasure to catch this fish today! Hiss... It hurts, it hurts, teacher, please be gentle!"

Li Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are a lot of confused people in the royal family, and you, who have a clear mind, got the first whip. Don't you feel wronged?"

"What's the grievance?"

Li Heng laughed loudly: "It is a great merit for the students to be able to sober up those people."

Li Hong came over with a teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "You are a good kid. Go back and take good care of your injuries. When you are well, go to the clan house to receive inheritance. The clan should have a new grandmaster."

"Ouch!"

Li Heng jumped up immediately: "What's the point of treating a superficial wound? Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm leaving now!"

Say it.

He clasped his fists and prepared to leave.

Li Rui threw the clan order over: "Take the token!"

"Almost forgot!"

Li Heng trotted back, picked up the token and ran away again.

Li Rui had a smile on his face.

But the smile soon turned a little lonely.

Li Hong sighed and sat next to him: "How is Li Gong?"

Li Rui forced a smile and said, "It's not bad. It's not to the point where it's reported that he's in critical condition. Muye saved that bitch's life, which helped him calm down. Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting Bao Bao live for so long. His death is more valuable."

He lived in Kyoto for a long time and did not pay enough attention to his son.

But it doesn't mean that I don't care at all.

When Li Baobao was about fifteen years old, he gradually realized that something was wrong between this mother and son.

He also didn't expect that this woman, who almost grew up with Li Gong, was hiding so deeply.

Moreover, he did it secretly and caused such a terrible disaster.

So he immediately found Li Hong and told him that everything should be handled impartially and he would not have any complaints.

Li Hong said, however, that the time is not yet ripe and that doing it now would have little effect.

He also asked if she was willing to use Li Baobao as bait and wait with him for an opportunity and a sharp sword.

At that time, Li Rui pondered for a long time.

Say yes!
So I waited, and waited until now.

Everything went according to plan.

Even exceeded expectations.

Qin Muye and Li Xingluo executed it perfectly, so perfectly that they were both surprised.

Dozens of demon officials were beheaded, more than two hundred demon students were sent away, but the Great Sage Temple was left speechless.

Along the way, he alienated Niu Pingtian.

He also saved the life of that bitch as a tool to deal with the Baiyue, and also calmed his son's mind.

Li Rui hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is something I want to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Li Hong smiled and said, "Brother, just say whatever you want!"

Li Rui said in a deep voice: "The difference between the Crown Prince and the Princess is quite obvious. And Qin Muye, whether you say he is naturally aggressive or he has figured out our inner thoughts and acts accordingly, he is a rare talent.

Even though you have laid the groundwork for everything, as long as everything goes smoothly, even a moderate and conservative king will be able to keep his throne.

But the situation of war is ever-changing, and the shape of water is ever-changing. Who knows what will happen in the future?
It is true that the princess' bloodline is special, but I think it may not be impossible to overcome it."

Hear this.

A trace of struggle and tenderness also flashed across Li Hong's face.

After thinking for a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother! This is the first time you have spoken about the crown prince."

"Speaking from the bottom of my heart!"

"In that case... after the military exercise, give Xing Luo a chance."
