King Yong Li Lin never dreamed that his noble family would be bullied by refugees.

If ten people beat a person, that is called bullying. If one hundred people beat a person, it is also called bullying. If ten thousand people beat a person?

That's justice.

Don’t be dissatisfied. If you have the ability to bring in 100,000 people and beat this 10,000 people, justice will immediately turn around and be used by you.

At least for now, King Yong has no hope of turning the tables. He has no ability to bring in 100,000 people to help him support his image of justice.

According to this logic, Gu Qing has 100,000 string control men under his command, which represents absolute justice, unless Li Heng has created hundreds of thousands of troops to chase and beat him up.

The heads of the Three Laws did not dare to offend Gu Qing. They had seen the strength of Gu Qing, a powerful minister, with their own eyes.

The emperor's imperial edict said that the title would be returned, and he was too lazy to even make up the polite refusal. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, only after Emperor Gaozong passed away, Wu Zetian did this before he became emperor, and the target was her unscrupulous puppet son.

What is the reliance of powerful ministers? Of course they are soldiers under his command.

The heads of the Three Laws wanted to sneer, despising Gu Qing as much as the nouveau riche.

Why is the nouveau riche? Isn’t it just that he has a few bad money?

However, they dare not despise them. Novice does have only a few bad money, but the novice's bad money is also a kind of power. It can make the poor respectfully powerful, and it is impossible not to accept it.

Since the day when the class was born, humans have engraved the worship of power into their genes, passing on from generation to generation.

There are also people who are unwilling to worship. These people usually have two endings. One is that they become the power and money themselves and enjoy being worshipped by others. The other is that they are crushed by power and money.

The Minister of Justice, the Censor of the Censor, and the Minister of the Dali Temple, were all second-rank third-rank officials in the court. However, in front of Gu Qing, they chose to bow their heads and obey orders.

What they worshiped was not Gu Qing himself, but the halo of power above Gu Qing's head.

"The official obeys the order and sends someone to search the Yong Prince's Mansion immediately. If evidence can be found, the case can be concluded." Li Xian said respectfully.

Gu Qing smiled, not deliberately showing off the arrogance of a powerful minister. In his opinion, it seems childish and ridiculous to present the arrogant side of the strong in front of the weak, and such a strong man usually does not live for a long time.

"Thank you three, it's just a murder case. I shouldn't have asked about it, but the refugees outside the city are already angry. If you don't give an explanation, if the refugees cause major trouble, I still need the soldiers of the Anxi Army to send troops to suppress it. I don't want things to go this far, so I can only work hard to eliminate the disaster invisible." Gu Qing bowed to the three of them and said politely.

Li Xian hurriedly said, "Your Highness the Prince is full of loyalty, and the officials are deeply admired."

Gu Qing smiled modestly and said, "The three words are so serious. I am just fulfilling the responsibility of my ministers. Since I eat the king's fortune, I should do things fairly."

…………

A fast horse galloped from the Suzaku Avenue to the Tai Chi Palace.

Han Jie rode alone on his horse and stopped until in front of Jinshui Bridge. Then Han Jie got off his horse and walked towards the palace gate.

The soldiers of Shuofang Army who were guarding the palace gate couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Unconsciously, they held the long halberd in their hands and stared at every move that Han Jie walked over.

After several conflicts, the relationship between the Shuofang Army and the Anxi Army was already very cold. Seeing Han Jie dressed in Anxi Army's armor, the Shuofang Army soldiers guarding the palace gate were immediately alert.

Han Jie was not afraid, and strode across the Jinshui Bridge, and soon walked to the palace gate before stopping. He sneered contemptuously at the soldiers guarding the palace gate, took out a wrinkled imperial edict from his arms, and shouted: "According to the order of the Prince Gu, the emperor's order is to cause trouble and cannot be followed. I will return it today. I will give the emperor's order in the future. Please think twice before you can do it."

All the soldiers guarding the cemetery were stunned.

After many years of military service, I have never seen any storms. However, my ministers openly returned the imperial edict to the emperor, which is the first time I have ever experienced in my life.

Is Prince Gu actually arrogant?

The soldiers were extremely shocked and no one moved for a long time.

Han Jie held up the imperial edict. Seeing that no one came up to pick it up, he couldn't help but feel impatient. He threw the imperial edict forward, then turned around and left, rode on his horse and shouted, and left.

In Tai Chi Palace, Li Heng was playing chess with Li Longji.

The two emperors had accumulated many years of grudges and should have been incompatible. However, after Gu Qing appeared in the world, no matter how big the grudges the two emperors were, they were temporarily put on hold. The father and son joined forces to deal with Gu Qing, so a harmonious situation appeared between the two.

Although the father and son were harmonious, they did not give in to each other on the chessboard and the fight was quite tragic.

Although Li Heng is in his forties, his chess path is very domineering, and he only has to enclose land and eat pieces in his eyes. On the contrary, Li Longji's chess path is extremely calm. He is neither in a hurry to enclose land nor in a hurry to eat pieces. He can even make some compromises occasionally. However, before he knew it, Li Longji had the advantage on the chessboard.

Finally, Li Heng's face darkened, he grabbed a chess piece and threw it on the chessboard, and sighed dejectedly: "I lost, my father is smart."

As the winner, Li Longji was not very happy. He stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Heng'er, you are still too impatient. You only know how to occupy the territory, but you have no overall situation in your eyes. The chess path is narrow, and you will inevitably lose one thing if you miss one another."

Li Heng lowered his head and said, "The Father taught me a lesson."

Li Longji said in a deep voice: "If you want to accomplish great things, you must first be able to endure it. If others cannot endure it, God will not let you down. If you can't bear small things, you will be plagued by it."

Li Heng whispered: "Did your father talk about playing chess, or something else?"

Li Longji smiled and said, "It depends on your understanding. The principles of chess and court games are actually the same. You should have a big picture in your eyes, and you don't have to care about the gains and losses of a city and a corner. If necessary, you should give up and give up. With patience, you will gather the general trend. The general trend will be the trend, and the overall situation can be determined."

Li Heng nodded: "Thank you for your father's teachings, I understand."

Li Longji shook his head: "No, you don't understand, at least until today, you don't understand, there are some things you did badly, and they are only one step away from losing the country..."

Li Heng bowed and said, "Please give me advice from my father."

Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Many days ago, I heard that you wanted to transfer the Shuofang army guarding the palace to leave Beijing to rescue Shi Siming?"

"yes."

Li Longji sighed: "I also heard that Liu Hongbo and Li Siye of the Anxi Army led their troops to confront the Shuofang Army that day, and the blood splattered in the palace gate?"

Li Heng's face became more gloomy and he whispered: "Yes."

Li Longji sighed: "You... are not as good as Gu Qing after all. Before Gu Qing led his army to leave Beijing, he ordered Liu Hongbo and Li Siye to stay in Chang'an City. He only brought half of the troops of the Anxi Army and left the remaining half in Chang'an City. Even the most elite Modao Camp of the Anxi Army was in Chang'an. Gu Qing guarded that Shuofang Army left Beijing..."

"He has sharpened his sword and is waiting for you, but you don't care. He really mobilized the Shuofang army to face the sword. If Liu Hongbo made up his mind that day, he would simply wipe out the Shuofang army, and then capture the palace and use the emperor to command the princes. How should you deal with it at that time?"

Li Heng suddenly burst into cold sweats and his whole back became cold.

Li Longji sighed: "That time, it was really dangerous for me, Li Tang, the country and the court were in decline, only in Gu Qing's thoughts, but Gu Qing was still a little scruple after all, so he showed mercy..."

Staring at Li Heng's face, which was afraid of being intertwined with the gloom, Li Longji sighed: "Heng'er, you decided to mobilize the Shuofang Army to rescue Shi Siming that time. I was really too impatient. The Anxi Army did not take the opportunity to capture the Tai Chi Palace. It was your luck. Luck is not renewed. Don't expect your luck to be so good next time."

Li Heng lowered his head and said, "However, the troops of Shi Siming are the most powerful help for us to kill Gu Qing. Shi Siming is dead, and the governors of various vassal states have different ambitions. Can't the country really change their surnames?"

Li Longji said coldly: "If you keep a useful body, you will have infinite possibilities. As the days go by, your energy will rise and fall. How can you know that Gu Qing will not reveal his flaws and be caught by us in the future? It is a fool who fights with him to death. It is a fool who is unwise and has less strength than others. Tolerance is the most important thing."

Li Heng pursed his lips and said, "It's me who was impulsive, I won't know how to do it in the future."

Li Longji stroked his beard and said leisurely: "On the day of Gu Qing's wedding, children from major families from the Tang Dynasty came to the door to congratulate him. The carriages for sending gifts lined up from Gu Qing's palace to outside the city gate. What does this mean?"

Li Heng's face became increasingly ugly and said, "It means that Gu Qing not only had a strong military force, but even the major families changed their ruthlessness and turned to Gu Qing's side."

A little desolate look appeared in Li Longji's eyes and sighed: "Yes, even if you and I refuse to admit it, reality is reality, reality is, my Li Tang Dynasty is indeed in a desperate situation, and people's hearts are on their backs."

Li Heng couldn't help but say: "The troops and horses of the vassal states in various places have already..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Longji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Shi Siming is dead, and the vassal states are not in a state of chaos. In front of the Anxi Army, the vassal states should not fight against the enemy's troops."

Li Heng couldn't help but pale and murmured: "Is it really a matter of heaven going to ruin my Tang Dynasty?"

Li Longji said in depression: "But if there is a breath, you must do your best, otherwise you and I will have no face to see our ancestors."

Li Heng said desperately: "What else can I do to control Gu Qing?"

Li Longji said slowly: "Only what we have done today, we must give up! Give up everything, as long as we can maintain the throne, everything can be given up. First, the major families must re-enlist, and the scientific research can be abolished. The court can only select scholars from the aristocratic families. Secondly, if there is an unmarried princess in the royal family, they are all allowed to be children of major families to maintain the relationship between the royal family and the aristocratic family through marriage..."

Li Hengzhong pointed: "Everyone depends on the father."

Li Longji said again: "In the end, we will give the titles to a large number. When necessary, we can allow the family to establish itself as a country..."

Li Heng's face changed, but Li Longji slowly said: "Power, official title, money, marriage, including the party system in the future, in order to protect the Li Tang country, these things must be abandoned, and the material and financial resources and power of the whole country are exchanged for support from all parties. Only in this way can Gu Qing be isolated and finally eliminated."

"The current enemy is Gu Qing. After Gu Qing is eliminated, we can slowly take back what we have given up. Heng'er, this is also the art of the emperor. If Gu Qing has the skills to kill dragons, you and I should give up everything for hard scales. The sword is not damaged, and the water and fire are not invaded. Only in this way can we gain a glimmer of life in despair."

Li Heng's face gradually calmed down and he said, "I understand."

Li Longji narrowed his eyes and said, "There is a saying in the art of war. Anyone who fights can win with the right combination and surprise. In addition to the method I just mentioned, there should also be a way to win with surprise..."

Li Heng said curiously: "The father means..."

Li Longji suddenly closed his eyes and whispered: "I have my own arrangements. Heng'er, now is the juncture of life and death in the Tang Dynasty. You and my father and son should join forces to defeat the enemy. Don't make suspicious. I am about seventy years old and there is not much time left. Before I die, I will always have to return you a worry-free country inside and outside to be worthy of the ancestors of all generations."

Li Heng bowed sincerely and said, "I will not suffer a great loss to my father's tent..."

Li Longji's eyes were full of vicissitudes and sighed: "Time passed by, the sword was old, I had ruined the world, I knew I was wrong, I hope the world will not let me down..."

The rapid footsteps broke the rare warmth of the father and son. Yu Chaoen appeared outside the palace gate, wiped his cold sweat with a look of panic on his face, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good. Gu Qing sent someone to the palace gate to return His Majesty's imperial edict!"

Li Heng's face changed drastically, he stood up suddenly, and said in surprise: "Return the imperial edict?"

Yu Chaohen said in panic: "Yes, Gu Qing sent someone to return the imperial edict, and said, "

"What else did you say?"

"I also said that Your Majesty's imperial edict is a life-threatening and cannot be followed. Please think twice when you issue an edict in the future."

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table and furiously, the muscles on his cheeks trembled slightly in anger.

"Gu Qing! I'm too tyrannical! If I don't get rid of you, I will be a monarch!"

Li Longji remained silent, but his heart sank into the abyss.

Gu Qing... has he become so arrogant? The powerful minister's fangs have been exposed without any scruples, and there is really not much time left for the Li Tang Dynasty.

…………

In the afternoon, the officers from the Three Laws suddenly rushed into the Yongwang Mansion and searched the Yongwang Mansion.

Prince Yong Li Lin was furious, but the officers of the Three Laws took out the transfer order from the Three Laws, saying that it was the joint decision of the heads of the Three Laws that the Yongwang Mansion involved a murder case and must be thoroughly searched to find evidence.

King Yong has never been a reasoned person, so how could he be so embarrassed? He immediately ordered the imperial guards of the royal palace to drive the servants out. However, as soon as the imperial guards raised their long spear, they suddenly found that there were densely packed soldiers wearing armor outside the royal palace, and they looked as if they were in the Anxi Army.

The soldiers of the Anxi Army stood quietly in the open space outside the royal palace, staring at the imperial guards indifferently. The generals leading the troops even showed a eager expression, as if as long as the imperial guards dared to move, they would immediately order an attack.

The imperial guards of the royal palace were decisive and cowardly, and their arms could not be swayed. The Anxi Army was famous all over the world. Who dared to use rash swords and guns in front of the Anxi Army?

Not only was the imperial guards cowarded, but the Yongwang was also cowarded.

Swords and fists can make the arrogant and domineering prince sit down calmly and reason, and King Yong is a typical example.

The officers of the Three Laws had already rushed into the palace, and then the palace was in chaos. Strangely, the officers seemed to be familiar with the architectural structure of the Yong Palace. After rushing into the palace, they ran directly to the house where Manager Liu lived. After entering the house, a group of officers began to rummage boxes and cabinets to find clues to the murder case.
