In an instant, Li Jinglong's face was as white as paper, and he was rolling and crawling on the ground, "Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Zhu Yunxi reached out and took off the waist knife on the wall, furious.
In his last life, he had been a soldier. Although he was just an ordinary soldier, some things had been engraved in his bones. Therefore, many things about the old army were something he deeply hated.
And precisely because of this, he knew better that if the army learns bad things, even nine hundred cows cannot be pulled back. If they rely solely on rewards and promises to boost morale, and rely on these things after the war to make the soldiers happy, then
Even a true tiger and wolf master cannot last long.
Besides, he can tolerate a little or two of everything else.
Those soldiers lining up felt like an iron thorn had been inserted into his heart.
This is no longer just a simple conflict of ideas.
"Your Highness..." Li Jinglong was on the ground shaking his hands and feet, his eyes filled with fear.
"Listen to me, I was in Liaodong that day..."
"I also know that this is inappropriate, but this has always been the case when leading troops!"
"My father once said back then that if you want to keep the men howling when you fight, you must spare no expense in rewards..."
"I have thought about it for a long time and know that His Highness is kind and does not dare to disturb the people..."
"You have such good intentions!" Zhu Yunxi slowly moved forward and said bitterly, "I have let you down!" He said, sneering again, "Moreover, you know that it is wrong, but you still do it. You
Tell me why?"
Li Jinglong is by no means a ignorant person, let alone a reckless man.
He is not the old generation's free-spirited, no-nonsense founding father.
He is not a thorn who dares to do anything, has no scruples, and feels uncomfortable even if he doesn't cause trouble for a day.
So why would he do this?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Li Jinglong was so frightened that he couldn't even finish his words. He had never seen the Emperor Taisun so angry, with that look in his eyes, that
The furious look is simply...
He had no doubt that if he could not give the emperor a satisfactory answer, the knife in the emperor's hand would fall on his neck without hesitation.
"Speak!" Zhu Yunxi shouted angrily.
Li Jinglong couldn't say it because he was afraid of saying it...
A minister can taint himself, but he must never let the king know about it. Because compared to other crimes, the king is most angry about the suspicion of his ministers.
"Don't say anything!?" Zhu Yunxi was filled with smoke and raised the sword in his hand fiercely.
"Your Highness, it's all my fault. Kill me to quell the fire!"
Suddenly, Li Jinglong rushed forward and hugged Zhu Yunxi's thigh.
"Every mistake is my fault. Don't get so angry. I'm useless. I'm just mud that can't go up the wall..."
Looking at Li Jinglong who was crying in front of him, Zhu Yunxi couldn't do anything.
~~~
"Hey!" Zhu Yunxi sighed, threw away the knife in his hand, broke open Li Jinglong's hand holding his thigh, slowly walked to the side, and sat down weakly.
"Passenger's decree!"
"From now on, Li Jinglong will be stripped of all his official positions, and his title of Crown Prince Shaobao, Youzhu Kingdom, and Guanglu Doctor will be deposed!"
As soon as Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, Li Jinglong's body on the ground shook violently.
This punishment was so severe that it almost turned Li Jinglong into a white body.
"The deputy commander of the Yulin Guards and the military governor Qianshi have also been dismissed from their official positions, and the royal badges given by the emperor to enter the palace have been taken back!" Zhu Yunxi said again.
Li Jinglong complained so much that he was relieved of his reputation and his actual official position. Now he is even exempted from the treatment of entering the palace.
But that wasn't the worst part. The next second he looked ashen.
"Take back the hereditary alchemy certificate given by the emperor!" Zhu Yunxi said coldly.
"Your Highness!" Li Jinglong raised his head instantly, the fear in his eyes almost overflowing.
Recovering the Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book, that is to say.........
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi's voice was bitingly cold, "The title of Duke Cao Guo will be selected from the descendants of the former King Qiyang. You, Li Jinglong, will move out of Duke Cao's mansion within three days." After saying that, he sneered again, "As for whether you can still do it or not.
It will be in the genealogy of King Qiyang, then it depends on whether the newly appointed Lord Cao will recognize you or not!"
"Your Highness!" Li Jinglong was shocked and shouted hysterically, "Have mercy, Your Highness!"
Without his title, he is nothing.
At this moment, he felt like strangling the aide who had come up with the idea.
But now, it's too late to regret.
"Wu Gao!" Zhu Yunxi continued.
"I'm here!" Wu Gao came in and bowed his head in salute.
Zhu Yunxi didn't even look at Li Jinglong and said, "Pull him out. You can take care of the military affairs for now!"
"Here!" Wu Gao looked at Li Jinglong, sighed and shook his head, waving his hands to let Li Jinglong, who seemed to have lost his soul, be carried out.
"If you can stop things in the camp, stop them first!" Zhu Yunxi said again.
"Your Highness!" Wu Gao hesitated and said truthfully, "There is no turning back when the bow is fired. If we don't let these big soldiers make enough trouble, I'm afraid..."
"I know!" Zhu Yunxi hugged his temples tiredly and sighed, "You handle it! If anything happens, you are the only one to ask. Set up the house, I'm tired, go back to the palace!"

The scene changed to Cao Guogong's Mansion.
"Master!" Deng looked at Li Jinglong, who was sitting in a daze, and whispered several times, but there was no response.
"What's going on?" Deng turned around and asked with a cold face to the soldiers around Li Jinglong who were bowing their heads and looking full of shame, "I was fine when I went out in the morning. What's going on? What happened?"
?”
"Madam..." As the leader of the bodyguard, Li Laowai was so ashamed that he could not speak.
Then, he knelt down directly next to Li Jinglong and said, "Master, please say something, don't do this!" As he said, he suddenly choked out, "Master, I know you feel uncomfortable, so please speak out!"
Li Jinglong still didn't speak.
"You are Cao Guogong, and the young men are your soldiers. When you go to the countryside to farm, the young men will be your tenants. When you go to beg for food, the young men will help you lift the bowl!" Li Laowai swallowed even more.
"What happened?" Deng heard some clues and asked loudly.
"The head of the family was..." Li Laowai didn't dare to raise his head, "He was, deprived of his title!"
"Ah!" Deng's mind buzzed and she almost fell down.
Suddenly, Li Jinglong spoke loudly, "Where is Yang Shiqi? Where is that guy? It's all his idea!" As he said that, he got up in a rage, grabbed the knife, and rushed towards the side courtyard angrily, followed by a group of generals behind him.
In the side courtyard, there lived several teachers from the Li family's private school. The leader among them was the scholar named Yang Shiqi. He not only taught, but also sometimes served as Li Jinglong's staff.
Yang Shiqi was not asleep yet, and the lights in the room were still on. He heard the footsteps and came out to take a look.
"Master, what's the matter... Hey, hey, don't pinch Wansheng's neck..."
Li Jinglong grabbed the opponent's neck with his big hands and squeezed it tightly, "It's all your bad idea. I demoted the emperor's grandson to a commoner!"
Yang Shiqi felt like he couldn't breathe, and his vision was blurry.
I heard Li Jinglong continue to say, "Now I have nothing, even my title has been taken away!"
“Uh…..Uh…..”
"You asked me to commit suicide. Your Highness came to the military camp and happened to bump into everyone. Now in a rage, you have removed all my official positions and titles. Now I have nothing and no name!"
Yang Shiqi couldn't speak, but his heart was clear. He could roughly understand the cause and effect with his brain. In desperation, he suddenly spoke hoarsely and with difficulty, "My lord, your highness may be angry. At this time, you should go to the palace to apologize!"
"You and the current Holy One are close relatives..."
Suddenly, Li Jinglong loosened his hands and his eyes brightened.
Yang Shiqi stood up with his hands on his neck and whispered, "His Highness is angry. As long as His Majesty's anger subsides, it will naturally become more difficult for him to deal with. What is your relationship with His Highness, right? Can His Highness be without you?"
?”
"Now you go to the palace to cry, and the Holy One will speak for you. Moreover, maybe you will have to talk to His Highness again about your hard work!"
"Since then, restoring the title is just a matter of a word from His Highness, and he is even more favored than before!"
After hearing this, Li Jinglong was silent for a moment, and suddenly patted the other party's shoulder enthusiastically, "Sir, you are a great talent!" After saying that, he turned around and left hurriedly.
~~~
"master!"
As soon as Li Jinglong walked out of the side courtyard, he happened to bump into Mr. Deng who was chasing after him.
At that moment, he took his wife's hand and said tenderly, "Madam, don't talk, just listen to me!"
Mrs. Deng nodded quickly.
"I want to go to the palace now!"
"But His Highness took away my badge to enter the palace, so I can't get in!"
"So, I'm going to ask the Chang family, do you understand?"
Mrs. Deng nodded and kept nodding.
Li Jinglong smiled, "Then what are you waiting for?"
Deng was puzzled, "I am..."
"I'm going to beg for help!" Li Jinglong whispered, "Going empty-handed?"
Madam Deng suddenly realized it and gritted her teeth, "Just wait a minute, I'll go back to my parents' house right now!"
