Chapter 169 Emperor Xiangfu: I must kill Li Qing!
Huainan Palace.

Since Emperor Yuanfu passed away, King Huainan stayed behind closed doors. Apart from attending the funeral of Emperor Yuanfu, he didn't even attend the enthronement ceremony of the new king.

And no one knew what King Huainan was doing.

Of course, no one will pay attention to King Huainan anymore, and everyone's attention is on Li Qing.

After all, although King Huainan was powerful, after he supported Emperor Yuanfu's ascension to the throne, he slowly handed over everything he controlled.

But now Li Qing accepted Emperor Yuan Fu's deathbed entrustment and became the helm of the giant ship of the Great Zhou Empire.

Then Huainan King can no longer make waves.

Compared with Li Qing, King Huainan is far inferior.

The night was hazy, and the moon hung high in the sky.

At this time, in the other courtyard of Huainan Wangfu, Huainan Wang was sitting in a pavilion drinking alone.

He held up the exquisite glazed luminous glass in his hand, facing the moon in the sky, the clear wine in the glass exuded a special luster under the moonlight.

"Raise a glass and invite Mingyue to form three people against each other."

"Li Qing's poems are really ingenious in conception and good in artistic conception. They are worthy of contemporary Wenzong."

King Huaixin laughed and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

It seems that he wants to drink away the depression in his heart.

And outside the gazebo, the housekeeper watched King Huaixin drinking like this, with a worried look on his face.

After hesitating for a long time, he just said: "My lord, you should stop drinking and pay attention to your health."

However, King Huaixin ignored the steward's words.

He has suppressed himself for decades. During these decades, he has cultivated his moral character and never drank alcohol.

Now he wants to pamper himself.

Hearing this, the housekeeper couldn't help but said angrily: "My lord, you assisted the two emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty and helped them seize the throne, but what is the result now?"

"If I knew this earlier, when Emperor Kang died, you should have taken the throne yourself."

"When Emperor Wen passed away, he would rather hand over power to an outsider like Li Qing than to you, the prince. He never trusted you at all!"

Emperor Wen is the posthumous title of Emperor Yuan Fu.

And he was unwilling to hand over the power to King Huaixin, which was the most resentful part of the housekeeper.

You must know that King Huaixin helped Emperor Tianfu ascend the throne from the time when Emperor Tianfu was not yet the emperor. In the end, the two of them were bright and dark. He worked hard for the state of Zhou.

After Emperor Tianfu died, King Huaixin gave up his rebellion and chose to support Emperor Yuanfu to become the throne.

And handed over all the power and influence in his hands.

But after Emperor Yuanfu passed away, he chose Li Qing, an outsider, as his final trustee.

Instead of choosing the uncle of King Huaixin!

Hearing the steward's words, King Huaixin gently turned the wine glass, and said indifferently: "You are wrong, he is doing this for the good of the king, to protect the king, and also for the sake of Da Zhou."

"Entrusting Da Zhou to Li Qing is the best choice."

The butler's eyes widened in astonishment.

He didn't understand King Huaixin's words, how could it be protection if he didn't give power?

"Do you not understand?"

King Huaixin smiled, drank another glass of wine, breathed out and said, "This king's identity is too sensitive."

"As the emperor's uncle, you will be in charge of the court until the new king becomes an adult, what do you make other people think?"

The butler couldn't help but said: "My lord, you are so sincere, who doesn't know? If you intend to seize the throne, then when Emperor Kangdi passed away, it was a great opportunity!"

"What's more, you are Emperor Wen's uncle. Why are you so sensitive because of your close status?"

Ever since King Huaixin helped Emperor Yuanfu ascend the throne.

Then there was strong support for reform.

All the words in the Zhou country that said that King Huaixin was planning to do something wrong disappeared, and no one thought that he wanted to rebel.

"But what if someone wants this king to rebel?"

King Huaixin asked back, turning his gaze to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was speechless for a moment.

So King Huaixin put down the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly: "The feudal lords from all over the Zhou Dynasty and the courtiers who want to be the ministers of the dragon, do they want this king to rebel?"

"Even if this king doesn't want to rebel, sometimes you can't help yourself. Someone wants you to do what you don't want to do, or even help you to do it. This is the scariest thing."

"You said that when the time comes to rebel and seize the throne, Li Qing, will he care or not?"

The butler was speechless, not knowing how to answer.

Because Li Qing has another identity, that is Doctor Yushi!Would he just sit back and watch King Huaixin seize the throne?
At the beginning, Emperor Yuanfu and the eldest prince were competing for the throne. It was a dispute between the prince and the prince. For the sake of the stability of the country, Li Qing would choose to turn a blind eye.

But if King Huaixin was pushed to rebel and seize the position of Young Lord, Li Qing could no longer sit idly by.

"Wu Kun knows this, so even if he trusts me, he doesn't dare to hand over the authority to me."

"Because there are too many unstable factors in doing so."

"But if you give it to Li Qing, you won't, because Li Qing is a pure practitioner of the way of saints."

"Such a person is the best choice for Tuogu."

"He is impeccable in terms of character, character, reputation, prestige, and status."

"Only by allowing him to hold this power can all those who are interested give up those dirty ideas, and the impact of the emperor's sudden death can be minimized."

King Huaixin said softly,

It revealed the reason why Emperor Yuanfu didn't ask Gu to give it to him.

He's always known this too.

Although it is a bit strange to say, it is not an exaggeration to say that he and Emperor Yuanfu are confidants, and they really understand each other.

So he didn't blame Emperor Yuanfu's choice, even if it was him, he would still choose this way. This is the most beneficial decision for the country.

The butler remained silent, he didn't know that there was such a deep intention behind this pleading.

But when he thought of something else, he couldn't help but blushed, and said: "But my lord, you are already forty now! You have been making wedding dresses for others all your life!"

"Are you really...willing?"

This is the question buried in the butler's heart.

As King Huaixin's confidant, he knew very well how much his lord had dedicated to Great Zhou and the royal family.

But the result was bleak in the end.

Although the wealth is still the same, the fame is still there.

But what's the point of all this?

If King Huaixin hadn't helped Emperor Tianfu or Emperor Yuanfu back then, he would have lived a more carefree life than this.

The result now is that after dedicating his whole life to Da Zhou, he got nothing and got nothing in return.

"Of course not reconciled."

King Huaixin answered the steward very simply this time, and said with a calm face: "But what I am not reconciled to is that my ambition is not fulfilled, and the power can completely complete the reform."

"From the beginning to the end, this king only wants to lead the Great Zhou to the top of the kingdoms. This is the biggest unwillingness of this king!"

King Huaixin didn't care about power status.

His goal is to make Da Zhou stronger!

But this dream has dissipated with the death of Emperor Yuanfu, and he has no time to wait for the new king to grow up.

As for cooperating with Li Qing to carry out reforms, he hadn't thought about it, but he finally gave up on this idea.

The reason is also very simple - he is tired.

"My lord..."

The housekeeper couldn't help crying, he really felt pity and regret for King Huaixin.

What a talented, ambitious, and amazingly talented person my prince is!
But it ended up in such a bleak ending!

"Go back."

King Huaixin waved his hand, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

The butler held back the tears in his eyes and quietly withdrew.

King Huaixin looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. After staring at it for a long time, he suddenly smiled.

Nothing matters.

But before he completely retired, he still had one last thing to do, or to take revenge.

"Hehe, murdering the emperor, do you really think that you are doing it flawlessly?"

"Are you guys too confident, or too stupid?"

The icy coldness in King Huaixin's eyes flashed away, but the elegant and handsome face now appeared ferocious.

Since they dared to ruin his last dream.

Then be prepared to bear his wrath!
……

……

The new king of the Great Zhou Dynasty succeeds to the throne, and the auspicious symbol of the new year is changed.

The reason for changing this year name is also very simple, because Emperor Tianfu and Emperor Yuanfu passed away one after another, making people think that the bad luck of the Great Zhou caused such a result.

Therefore, the auspicious talisman for the new year takes the meaning of peace and peace.

And the name of the newly succeeded Wutai is Emperor Xiangfu, and he is also the youngest emperor in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He came to the throne at the age of 12, which is rare even in the history of other countries, not to mention the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although Emperor Xiangfu is enthroned now, he doesn't have to deal with state affairs or government affairs.

Government affairs were handled by the three provinces, and then handed over to Li Qing, Sima Yu, and Yang Ying, the three auxiliary ministers for review.

Therefore, Emperor Xiangfu's daily tasks are also very simple.

One is to read the memorials selected by Sima Yu and the others, which are of exemplary significance, to observe and study.

The second is to study homework and complete daily homework.

Originally, Emperor Xiangfu's teachers were Yang Ying and Kong Wei, but Emperor Yuanfu appointed Li Qing as Emperor Xiangfu's teacher on his deathbed, so this task became Li Qing's.

Li Qing had nothing to say about this.

It is his responsibility to educate the world, and the emperor is naturally one of them, just like ordinary people.

Although it is said in this way, it is still somewhat different after all. After all, the emperor will be the lord of a country in the future, and if the teaching is not good, it will affect tens of millions of people.

Therefore, Li Qing had to set aside half a day every day to give lectures to Emperor Xiangfu.

Imperial Palace, Qianyuan Hall.

Sima Yu and Yang Ying were reviewing the memorials in the main hall, while Li Qing was teaching Emperor Xiangfu in the side hall behind.

"...As the Son of Heaven, you should put the people first, and you must not impose harsh policies and taxation, and must not slack off in government affairs."

"You must know that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it; the people are valuable but the ruler is light. If you want to ensure the immortality of the dynasty, you must pay attention to people's livelihood and ensure the prosperity and well-being of the people."

"This is the key to the longevity of the country..."

……

Holding a ruler in his hand, Li Qing was explaining to Emperor Xiangfu how to be a good king and how to love the people.

Regardless of whether Emperor Xiangfu will be a conservative monarch or an aggressive and domineering monarch in the future, he must learn to value the people's livelihood and the people.

If the people don't even pay attention to it, then no matter what the king is, the country will not be stable for a long time.

However, Li Qing was chattering in front, and Emperor Xiangfu, who was sitting behind the dragon case, was drowsy.

He listened to Li Qing's lecture, his eyelids kept fighting, his head was bit by bit like a chicken pecking at rice.

Liu Tong next to him saw it and felt anxious.

He glanced cautiously at Li Qinghou who was still teaching, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

As he spoke, he gently pushed Emperor Xiangfu.

"Huh? Is get out of class over?!"

Emperor Xiangfu woke up suddenly, then raised his head and looked around, his face was full of joy.

However, what he saw when he looked up was a young, elegant and handsome face.

"Your Majesty, do you understand what I said?"

Holding a ruler in his hand, Li Qing stood in front of Emperor Xiangfu, looked at him and asked quietly.

The expression on Emperor Xiangfu's face was extremely stiff, and he forced a smile and said: "Listen, I understand..."

"Then, why is it that the people are the most important and the king is the least?"

Li Qing raised the question directly.

Emperor Xiangfu was directly confused by this question, thinking hard in his mind about what Li Qing had said before.

But I can't remember anything.

Seeing this, Li Qing didn't continue to persecute, but said calmly: "Your Majesty, please extend your hand."

Emperor Xiangfu glanced at the ruler in Li Qing's hand, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said in a trembling voice: "This... can I be punished for my companion?"

It is the rule in the palace to be punished for reading with you.

The princes and princesses who go to school in the palace school are usually equipped with companions. Once they make a mistake, the teacher of the palace school can't directly punish them physically, but corporal punishment with the companions.

"Your Majesty didn't listen to the class well, why should you be punished? Your Majesty, please extend your hand."

Li Qing was not moved at all.

He doesn't care about this bad habit of corporal punishment.

Emperor Xiangfu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hesitated again and again, and then stretched out his hand cautiously, and then Li Qing mercilessly hit his hand three times!

"what--!"

Emperor Xiangfu withdrew his hand like lightning, and wiped his tears with his left hand in pain, and his nose flowed out.

Li Qing didn't use corporal punishment just because the other party was the emperor. What educational value would that have?
"You are crazy! How dare you really hit me!"

"I am the emperor!"

Emperor Xiangfu was very angry in his heart, and he didn't care about the gift of teachers and students, so he cried loudly towards Li Qing.

Li Qing glanced at him, still expressionless: "I am the emperor's teacher, and I was entrusted by the late emperor to teach Your Majesty well. This is my duty!"

"Your Majesty slackens in his studies and refuses to work hard. If this continues, how can he become a wise monarch?"

"Your Majesty is the emperor of the tens of thousands of people in my Great Zhou Dynasty! The minister is not only responsible to His Majesty, but also to the people of the world!"

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to suffer from corporal punishment, then learn to listen carefully."

"Today's lecture, let's stop here."

"My minister retire."

Li Qing saluted Emperor Xiangfu, then strode away from the side hall and headed for the main hall.

Emperor Xiangfu twisted his painful little face while covering his hand. He looked at Li Qing's leaving back angrily, gritted his teeth and said with tears in his voice, "Why did my father let this kind of person be my teacher? I like Grand Master Yang more! "

"I am the emperor! Li Qing is so disrespectful, one day, one day I will kill him!"

He hated Li Qing so much in his heart!
