Chapter 878: The dying struggle, killing the old prince
If Zheng Youli was really beaten, he would definitely take revenge when Lin Yun came later.

Thinking of this, Fulin'an, Ye Ruhui and Du Sheng all smiled coldly.

Isn't this courting death?

Lin Yun was unable to find an opportunity to strike, and yet Li Daozon just came to him?

Logically speaking, Li Daozon owed Zheng Youli a life.

If it were at Longxia Pass, if Zheng Youli had not stepped forward to stop him, Lin Yun would probably have killed Li Daozon.

Zheng Youli also reacted, raised his head and laughed: "Okay! Your Majesty, if you don't hit me today, I will really look down on you! I will feel comfortable only if you hit me!"

Seeing that Zheng Youli was not convinced, Li Daozong suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, raised his finger at him, and shouted angrily: "Beat him hard!"

Xue Tu didn't dare to refuse and could only go out to find a board.

Although he is Lin Yun's man, his father has told him to obey Li Dao Zong's words recently.

At this time, Li Daozhen frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate! As the saying goes, you should look at the owner before beating the dog. If you beat Zheng Youli, how will you explain to Lin Yun?"

Li Dao Zong said in a deep voice: "What do you want to confess? I'm going to die anyway, and I'm too lazy to resist! I might as well enjoy the pleasure of controlling other people's fate~!"

Afterwards, several guards brought in a long chair, pressed Zheng Youli on it, and beat him with a big board.

This big board is not a thin wooden board, but a pure solid wood board, specially used to punish officials.

A normal person can't withstand more than ten blows. Even for a martial artist, thirty blows is the limit.

But Li Daozon wanted to beat Zheng Youli with a hundred strokes of the cane, which meant that he said he would not kill him but actually wanted him to die.

Zheng Youli was beaten so hard that he was sweating profusely.

But when he thought about being beaten and waiting for Lin Yun to settle the score, he gritted his teeth and looked at Li Daozon with resentment.

Soon, the two guards beat Zheng Youli with fifty strokes of the cane. He was already a little conscious and his official robe was bleeding.

Fu Lin'an, Ye Ruhui and Du Sheng could not bear to watch any longer, secretly sighing at Li Daozon's madness.

But they understood that even if they tried to stop him, Li Daozon would not agree, so they could only hope that Lin Yun would come soon.

Just then, the voice of a young eunuch suddenly came from outside the door.

"The Prince Regent of Prince Yun's Mansion has arrived!"

Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately looked outside the door.

Lin Yun walked in with the Eighth Wise Kings and Qi Changyun.

When the three of them saw Zheng Youli being beaten with a stick, their faces suddenly changed.

Especially Lin Yun, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but disappeared in an instant.

He sneered, "Oh, this imperial study is quite lively! Why is the emperor so angry?"

Facing Lin Yun, even if Li Dao Zong hated him in his heart, he did not dare to act rashly and forced a smile: "Prince Regent, this Zheng Youli has disrespected the royal family. I will punish him for you. You won't be angry, right?"

After experiencing this period of mental torture, Li Daozon's mentality has completely changed, and he has indeed grown a lot. He is no longer as weak and naive as before.

"Of course I'm not angry! The emperor taught me a good lesson! However, I think it's not enough to just let him get a beating! Just for the fact that he disrespected the imperial power, he should be beheaded!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. They couldn't understand why Lin Yun said that. Could it be that he really planned to give up Zheng Youli?

Li Dao Zong sighed: "Enough, stop it!"

The two guards stopped at this point. They were also exhausted. The solid wood board in their hands was very heavy, and it was physically demanding to swing it to hit someone. "Since the Regent has spoken, I won't care! I wonder why the prince suddenly summoned everyone this time?"

Li Daozon looked at Lin Yun expressionlessly.

Lin Yun said: "The former queen secretly escaped from the palace. Was it the emperor and the former crown prince who secretly helped her?"

"Is the Regent interrogating me?"

Li Daozon knew very well that Lin Yun came here to call him to task. If he couldn't handle the pressure this time, then everything would be over.

On the side, Li Mu looked at him with approval. He didn't expect that this guy whom he had always looked down upon could actually be tough at times, and it seemed that he had changed a lot.

Although Lin Yun's true purpose has long been known to everyone, it is impossible for him to attack Li Daozon openly.

What Li Daozon said actually turned the tables on Lin Yun.

Lin Yun looked at him coldly and nodded, "That's right! Your Majesty, please answer my question directly!"

"Hmph! Lin Yun, I've had enough of your control! You must always remember that you are only my regent, and I am the emperor of the Great Duan Dynasty! Who gave you the courage to speak in this manner? No wonder Zheng Youli is so audacious, it turns out that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!"

This statement surprised everyone present.

Is this still the same weak and incompetent Li Dao Zong?

This change is too big!
Lin Yun wanted to pretend, but he didn't expect Li Dao Zong to change so much. He sneered and said, "I am now the regent, managing all court affairs! Including the upcoming war with Han Wang Guan Haiyue! As for the emperor, if you listen obediently, everything will be fine! Otherwise... I will have to exercise the power of the regent!"

"You!! You are so brave! Xuetu!"

Xue Tu immediately left the class and bowed, saying, "I'm here!"

"Give the order to confiscate the weapons of the regent and his guards! From today on, I will officially take charge of the government! If you, my dear ministers, can recognize the situation and help me eliminate the traitors, you will be meritorious ministers! I will definitely reward you according to your merits in the future!"

Everyone was dumbfounded to hear his passionate words.

Fu Linan and Ye Ruhui couldn't even hold back and laughed out loud.

"Ha ha!!"

Li Dao Zong frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

He had spent several months preparing for today, and he had written these words in advance and memorized them.

Ye Ruhui waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, calm down! This old minister really couldn't hold back this time! Please don't be angry!"

Fu Linan said playfully, "Your Majesty, I am really surprised that you can say such powerful words! But... eh, forget it!"

Lin Yun still looked at him expressionlessly, knowing that Li Dao Zong could not wait any longer.

"Commander Xue, didn't you hear the emperor's order? Why don't you come over and take away the weapons from me?"

Xue Kai smiled awkwardly: "You are joking, Lord Regent! I am the commander of the imperial guards who was promoted by you. How dare I disrespect you?"

As he said that, he knelt down at Lin Yun's feet and knocked his head to the ground.

The attitude has been very clear.

Everyone already knew this would be the result, and they all looked at Li Dao Zong with mockery on their faces.

Only the Eighth Wise King and Li Daozhen did not sneer at him, but just looked at him with regret and sorrow.

If the emperor had been as tough as he is today, there might still be a chance.
