This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 174 Intentional Murder?The cause of Emperor Yuanfu's death!

After Meng Tingshan took the lead in criticizing Li Qing from the moral high ground, other ministers also spoke up.

Don't move your mouth in such a reasonable situation.

When will you move your mouth?
Li Qing has always been very righteous, this time they finally caught the opportunity, so naturally he couldn't let it go.

"Although the Demon Suppressing King was ordered by the late emperor to assist in government affairs, in this huge court, the Demon Suppressing King is not the only one who is a loyal and capable minister."

"That's right! Everything should be discussed together, and then His Majesty will make the final decision!"

"The first emperor only asked the Demon King to assist His Majesty. If the Demon King alone can decide everything, how can His Majesty grow? How will he be in charge in the future?"

"Suppressing the demon king is too domineering!"

……

A group of ministers criticized Li Qing's arbitrary and authoritarian behavior, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

The ministers and officials who supported Li Qing trembled with anger, but they didn't know how to refute.

Although it is a good thing that Li Qing did not abolish the Green Crop Law, what he did was indeed the practice of a minister of power, which is irrefutable.

The corners of Emperor Xiangfu's eyes were wet when he heard it on the dragon chair.

These are a group of loyal ministers!

Compared to Li Qing's ignorance of etiquette and disrespect to the emperor, these ministers really think about him!
Just when he was wondering how Li Qing would respond, he suddenly saw a flash of light floating in Li Qing's hand.

Then a copper whip appeared in his hand!

Li Qing held a copper whip and looked at the officials in the hall. Everyone felt a gust of wind blowing past their faces, and then there were howls and howls!

"Ah! My legs"

"Ouch!"

"My ass!"

……

Those officials who spoke out just now, including Meng Tingshan, were whipped without exception!
Some are on the back, some are on the legs, and some are on the buttocks. Although Li Qing has controlled his strength, a whip can still make people feel heartbroken!

The officials in the main hall were stumbling around.

Li Qing stood still with a whip in his hand, looked at the officials in the hall, and said sharply: "Your Majesty is still young and can't tell right from wrong, don't you know?"

"The Green Crop Law concerns the foundation of the country, let His Majesty call the shots to abolish the Green Crop Law, what is your intention?!"

"At the end of his life, the first emperor entrusted the orphaned king to teach his majesty and govern the Great Zhou. This is the responsibility of the king."

"It doesn't matter if you say that I am a powerful minister or a treacherous minister, but as long as your majesty has not been crowned and this king is still alive, then this king has the obligation to stabilize the court!"

"Anyone who refuses to do so must first ask about the king's whip in this king's hand!"

Li Qing's sonorous and powerful voice spread throughout the hall.

His sharp gaze swept over every minister in the hall, and those he saw couldn't help feeling awe, and dared not look directly into Li Qing's gaze.

Even Meng Tingshan fell to the ground clutching his legs at this moment, and looked at Li Qing with gritted teeth, with anger in his eyes.

No matter how angry they were, they had to swallow their anger at this moment, because the king whip in Li Qing's hand was absolutely right!
It was not just a copper whip, but also represented the great authority bestowed on him by Emperor Yuanfu.

Beat the faint king at the top, and beat the slanderous ministers at the bottom.

Li Qing used this whip to beat them, tantamount to saying that they are a bunch of slanderers!
After everyone stopped talking, Li Qing turned around and looked up at Emperor Xiangfu, and said calmly: "In the future, it will be a major issue that concerns the country, Your Majesty should not make rash decisions, lest it will damage the stability of the country."

Emperor Xiangfu looked at the frightening whip in Li Qing's hand, and then at the officials who fell on the ground.

In the end, he swallowed his saliva, nodded with difficulty, and said, "Zhen, I know..."

He was afraid that if he didn't agree again.

After a while, the copper whip will fall on him.

The abolition of the young crop law has finally come to an end.

Afterwards, the ministers did not dare to mention anything about the New Deal, and no one tried it rashly.

Li Qing has set his bottom line today.

That is, the implementation of the New Deal must never be abolished!

Even if he wants to be a reviled power minister, he will definitely insist on implementing the New Deal, and whoever touches it will have to bear the consequences.

……

After the court meeting, the officials withdrew from the court.

Li Qing and Yang Ying led Emperor Xiangfu to Qianyuan Hall to deal with today's government affairs and give lessons to Emperor Xiangfu.

The rest of the officials left the palace one after another.

Those officials who had been beaten by Li Qing with the King Whip were limping and had to support each other.

It looked extremely embarrassing.

Meng Tingshan also received a whip on his leg, and his walking was a little unsteady, but he refused anyone's support and insisted on walking by himself, with a frighteningly gloomy expression.

Song Jue walked alongside him, but he was fine walking.

Because he didn't open his mouth to accuse Li Qing at that time, it was lucky that he didn't get whipped.

"It seems that Li Qing is more stubborn than expected. He would rather bear the infamy than implement the New Deal."

Song Jue sighed, shook his head and said.

The determination Li Qing showed today is really shocking. They thought Li Qing would cherish the feathers, but who knew that he didn't care about these things at all.

Meng Tingshan sneered and said, "A minister in power? Let's see how long he can be tough!"

After speaking, he limped away.

……

……

The news that Li Qing whipped officials in the court, exercised power on behalf of the emperor, and arbitrarily ruled the court spread quickly.

Many people were surprised by Li Qing's actions.

Although it is said that Emperor Yuanfu entrusted Gu to Li Qing before his death, Li Qing directly ignored the emperor and arbitrarily judged the government and state affairs.
"Isn't the demon king a bit too domineering?"

"Stupid you, the Green Crop Law is a policy that benefits the country and the people. What good is it to abolish it? Today, His Majesty is still young and ignorant. It is a good thing for the King of Demon Suppression to decide the government."

"I also think that the King of Demon Suppressing is a real sage, and there is a reason for his actions."

"Tch, who knows if she has other ambitions."

"Suppressing the demon king, is he going to be a powerful minister?"

……

People in the ruling and opposition parties talked about it a lot.

After all, Li Qing's extremely high reputation is there, so I still believe that most people support Li Qing.

But there are also some rumors that were deliberately spread, saying that Li Qing did it with ambition.

Of course those words were quickly drowned out.

Li Qing's great achievements for Zhou Guo and his status in the hearts of scholars all over the world cannot be shaken by some rumors.

After the news spread, King Huaixin also learned about it.

"Li Qing beat up more than a dozen ministers at the court meeting?"

After listening to the steward's report, King Huaixin showed surprise on his face, and his eyes were a little strange.

Beating the king's whip is indeed a great authority.

But generally speaking, it will not be used lightly.

Li Qing was different, he did not hesitate to use the whip to establish his own authority and intimidate the officials.

King Huaixin could foresee that for a long period of time in the future, Li Qing would be the only one in the court.

Still, it's a smart move.

The only downside is the damage to your reputation.

"This king was right when he saw Li Qing. It was very correct for Wu Kun to choose him as an assistant to the government."

"With his current status, if he doesn't care about his reputation, then no one in the court can stop him."

King Huaixin praised Li Qing's behavior very much.

Li Qing's actions just showed that he really took Yuanfu Emperor's entrustment to his heart, otherwise he could have chosen such a radical method.

At this moment, an old man with a skinny face walked into the garden and bowed his head to King Huaixin.

King Huaixin picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, then asked him, "How is the research on the flesh and blood of the horned horse? What clues did you get?"

The dragon-horned horse went mad and ran into Emperor Yuanfu to death. This matter is so strange that both Jinyi Division and Dongchang are investigating.

King Huaixin is also investigating.

King Huaixin's personal connections for decades are much deeper than Dongchang and Jinyi Division.

The skinny old man in front of him was a strange man recruited by King Huaixin. His cultivation level was not high, but he was good at poison and medicine. He was known as a ghost doctor in the Jianghu.

"Report to the prince, the result has already been reached."

The skinny old man replied, his voice was very hoarse, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"The villain found a very strange toxin in the flesh and blood of the dragon horned horse, or a mixed toxin."

"This kind of toxin is usually not caused by one drug, but the toxin produced after the mixed consumption of several drugs with conflicting properties."

"The dragon horned horse was fine until it saw the late emperor, but it suddenly went berserk and charged the late emperor shortly after seeing the late emperor."

"According to the performance of the dragon horned horse, the villain infers that this toxin will cause the monster to go crazy, but it needs a medicine as a medicine to trigger the effect of the toxin."

"And that kind of medicine is likely to be on the first emperor, such as sachets, scents, etc., and it is absolutely inconspicuous and harmless when viewed alone."

"But it happens to be able to detonate the toxin in the dragon's horned horse... I have to say, the method is quite clever."

"The people behind it must have planned for a long time, so that they can be so invisible and flawless."

The skinny old man's attainment in toxins is indeed very high.

It has to be said that it is quite astonishing to deduce so much information from the flesh and blood of the dragon horned horse alone.

"Mixed toxins?"

After listening to the skinny old man's analysis, King Huaixin's complexion suddenly darkened, and his eyes narrowed.

The matter was exactly as he had guessed, the death of Emperor Yuanfu was not a simple accident, but a deliberate murder!

King Huaixin frowned, got up and paced back and forth in the pavilion, wondering what he was thinking.

Then he asked the steward, "Go and investigate, all the food and grass that the dragon horned horses have eaten in the past three years, and the sachets that the late emperor carried on the emperor's hunting day."

"Tell Mr. Ghost Doctor all the clues you have found."

The butler bowed to accept the order, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by King Huaixin again.

"Wait a minute, there is one more thing."

King Huaixin added to the steward: "In addition, the personnel who raise the dragon horned horses, all the changes within three years, the suppliers who provide the feed, etc., all have to be investigated."

"This king must find out the murderer."

"Chop into pieces!"

King Huaixin's eyes were extremely cold.

Full of deep killing intent and hatred.

The housekeeper turned around and left.

Then King Huaixin sat back on the chair, staring at the steaming tea in a daze.

The ghost doctor next to him hesitated for a while, but after all, he still couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "My lord, how could the late emperor's death be so strange."

"Even if the dragon horned horse went crazy, the late emperor should have expert guards around him; besides, didn't it mean that the emperor had a national destiny protection body, why didn't it work?"

According to common sense, the emperor has a national fortune to protect his body.

And as the emperor, he must be protected by masters.

Although the dragon horned horse is comparable to a sixth-rank warrior after going crazy, it is still a bit exaggerated to kill the Emperor Tianfu.

King Huaixin withdrew his gaze, and shook his head upon hearing this.

"It is true that the palace is heavily guarded, but the Emperor's Hunting Day is outside the city, which is precisely the time when the defense is weakest."

"As for the bodyguard of the National Fortune, it was only a direct assassination against the monks; although His Majesty could mobilize the power of the National Fortune to directly suppress and kill the dragon horned horse at that time, but..."

"Longjiao will have a prince soon."

At that time, Emperor Xiangfu was riding on the dragon-horned horse, which was why even if there were experts around, he did not dare to kill the dragon-horned horse directly, for fear of accidentally injuring the prince.

There were various reasons for this accident.

"I see."

Only then did the ghost doctor suddenly realize that these secrets were unknown to him, and they were truly astonishing.

King Huaixin didn't talk any more about this topic, but said: "After investigating the feed of the horned horse later, I have to ask Mr. Ghost Doctor to identify the toxins composed of the feed."

"As long as you master these, it will be easy to find out the cause of the late emperor's death."

"At that time, the king will definitely thank you a lot."

Hearing this, the ghost doctor shook his head and said: "The prince has a great kindness for the villain. If the prince hadn't rescued him back then, the villain would have been killed by the enemy long ago."

"Helping the lord solve his worries is the job of a villain, not to mention investigating the cause of the late emperor's death."

Although Emperor Yuanfu has only been in power for three years, no one will deny that he is a wise emperor who created the beginning of a prosperous age.

If Emperor Yuanfu lived longer, it might not be impossible for Dazhou to reach the top of the kingdoms.

The ghost doctor also came from a bitter family in the Zhou Kingdom, and he had a good impression of Emperor Yuanfu. In addition, he received the great kindness of King Huaixin, so he did his best to help.

"Mr. Lao is here."

King Huaixin smiled gently.

The two chatted for a while, and then the ghost doctor left the garden, leaving only King Huaixin sitting alone in the gazebo.

Feeling the faint fragrance of plum blossoms brought by the breeze, King Huaixin's mood calmed down a little.

Now he has no goals, his only obsession is to find out the group of aristocratic families who planned this matter behind the death of Emperor Yuanfu, and then take bloody revenge.

Even... completely erased.

As for why it must be the hands of the aristocratic family, it is very simple, just see who gets the most benefit after the death of Emperor Yuanfu.

Emperor Yuanfu carried out the New Deal while alive, causing heavy losses to the aristocratic family; only when they are dead can they feel at ease!
It's just that they didn't expect Emperor Yuanfu to entrust the country to Li Qing before his death, and Li Qing's attitude was equally tough.

"My Great Zhou is destined to be strong, how can a mere powerful family resist it?"

"This is the general trend of the times!"

King Huaixin murmured to himself, he has been a chess player all his life, and he also knows the whole chess game best.

Now this game is not over yet!
