We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

It was not until a group of generals could no longer bear it and stepped forward to pull the two apart that Qin Huizhi was able to survive.

As the two most capable and highest-ranking princes, Li Che and Li Lin held back and did not beat anyone to death.

Even so, Qin Huizhi was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, and he was a little confused.

However, this guy's popularity is really not that good. After being beaten, he just lay in the hall and no one came up to help him.

Li Che broke free from the Marquis of Jiangning and spat at Qin Huizhi: "You little bastard, if you keep pretending to be awesome, I'll make you fly!"

Li Lin followed suit: "Fly!"

The generals were speechless and could only pull the two princes further away.

Emperor Qing, who witnessed the whole process, was furious. He first scolded Li Che and the other two, and then asked them the reason with a cold face.

After Li Che recounted the story truthfully, Emperor Qing also fell silent.

Although Qin Huizhi's action was despicable, there was nothing wrong with it.

Using the power in their hands to suppress political opponents is a common tactic used by these civil officials who wield power.

But the problem is that the targets he chose to attack were Li Che and Li Lin.

The two powerful princes do not live in the capital permanently. After the New Year, they go back to their fiefdoms to live a carefree life. Who will pamper you?

Just because Qin Huizhi uses a move within the rules doesn't mean Li Che has to respond within the rules.

No matter whether you have a basic move, a brilliant move, or a divine move, I will just swing the chessboard and smash your head!

However, after all, an official was beaten in public, so Emperor Qing could not be too partial. After scolding the two of them severely, he decided to punish them by deducting their salary for one year and requiring them to reflect on their mistakes in seclusion.

Li Che and the other man didn't care at all, but the civil and military officials were secretly complaining about it.

He picked it up high and put it down gently. Your Majesty is too partial to Prince Feng.

Qin Huizhi was sent to the Imperial Medical Bureau for treatment, while Li Che and the other man were summoned to the Yangxin Palace by Emperor Qing to be scolded.

"Presumptuous! How unbecoming!"

Emperor Qing roared with full force, his voice completely unlike that of an elderly man: "That was during a court meeting, and in Xuanzheng Hall. You beat an official in front of the entire court. Am I being too pampered by you?!"

Li Lin lowered his head and trembled as he accepted the reprimand. Li Che looked unconvinced, "Father, you know my character. I have always been kind to others, but some people don't give their son respect."

puff--

Before Emperor Qing could reply, Li Lin beside him couldn't help laughing out loud.

——Being Kind to Others

Li Che and Emperor Qing both glared at Li Lin, who immediately put away his smile and put on a look of deep resentment.

Li Che then continued:

"I have carefully prepared a gift for your father. Although it is not a priceless gift, it represents my sincere filial piety.

This guy negated my efforts with just one sentence. How can I tolerate him?

Your Majesty, you know that this son and I, my fourth brother, are both princes who rose to power through military means. We are not good at speaking, so we can only resort to violence."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You're dumb with your words? You can make people faint on the spot with just one word of yours. And you're still dumb with your words?

Just take the Huo family's youngest son, for example. He's such an honest child. I sent him to Fengguo to stay with you for a few days, and he was a different person when he came back."

That mouth seemed to be covered in thorns. In front of the entire court, he scolded an imperial censor until he foamed at the mouth.

Emperor Qing sighed softly and waved his hand: "Forget it, let's put this matter behind us. You two should stop causing trouble for me in the future!"

"Yes."

Li Che asked again: "Father, what about our gift list..."

"Leave it to Huang Jin. You and the Ministry of Rites are in such a bad situation, why not let him help you send it to the Ministry of Rites."

Emperor Qing paused, then asked curiously, "What did you prepare for me this time? Isn't it another local specialty?"

"Of course not." Li Che smiled at Emperor Qing, "This matter needs to be kept secret, otherwise there will be no surprise."

Hearing Li Che say this, Emperor Qing couldn't help but laugh: "You kid! Good! I'm waiting for your surprise!"

"My son, please retire."

"get out!"

The two said goodbye and left, and met Huang Jin at the door. They handed over the gift lists they had prepared and then left the palace.

Huang Jin took the gift list and wanted to send it to the Ministry of Rites quickly.

But suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he walked into the Yangxin Palace with the gift list.

"Your Majesty, here is the gift list for the Fourth and Sixth Princes. Would you like to review it?"

"Oh?" Emperor Qing was very interested and beckoned, "Give it to me. I want to see what Old Six has prepared so mysteriously."

Huang Jin quickly handed over the gift list.

Emperor Qing first opened the gift list, it was from Li Lin.

Inside are nothing but some special products and treasures of Yan Clan. They are not too luxurious, but they are also very valuable, and it is obvious that they are made with great care.

"Well, the fourth one put a lot of thought into it."

Then he put the gift list aside and picked up Li Che's.

When I opened it, there were only a few lines of words written on it.

【Three carts of frozen seafood】

[Three carts of Fengguo specialty soy products]

[A cart of Fengguo liquor]

[One prisoner of war]

【Korean style dance performance】

Emperor Qing: ???

He reached out and flipped to the back of the gift list, only to be filled with questions.

Is this gone?

What is Lao Liu doing? Isn't this a bit too shabby?

And what about this prisoner of war? And what the hell is this Goryeo-style dance performance?

"This brat always comes up with something new for me." Emperor Qing smiled slightly, but didn't care. "Send it to the Ministry of Rites and let them make good arrangements."

"Yes." Huang Jin bowed and turned to leave.

. . . . . .

The next day.

The ceremony was held as scheduled tomorrow.

Before daybreak, the crowing of roosters resounded throughout the imperial city.

The towering imperial palace gradually became clear in the morning light, and the golden glazed tiles reflected the dazzling light.

This is the largest New Year's Day ceremony since the founding of Daqing. It is used to pay homage to ancestors and announce to the world that the Daqing Empire is rising like the sun!

In the square of the imperial city, an altar was quietly erected, and below the altar was a dense crowd of people.

Civil and military officials, princes and nobles all entered the venue according to their rank, with solemn expressions.

With the altar in sight, teams of Jinyiwei dressed in Feiyu uniforms entered from both sides of the palace and stood guard at various important entrances.

Emperor Qing was very satisfied with the flying fish suit designed by Li Che, and even asked the Jinyiwei to replace the imperial guards and be responsible for the outer security.

Li Che stood in the royal team and looked at the high altar.

The great events of the country are in the army and in the sacrifice.

Sacrifice has always been the most important part of ancient countries, and even a powerful ruler like Emperor Qing is no exception.

Although Li Che didn't quite understand why the ancients cared so much about sacrifices, he expressed his respect.

Officials from the Ministry of Astronomy were busy at the altar, while officials from the Ministry of Rites scanned the crowd to avoid any mistakes.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The heavy drumbeats sounded, and the sacrifice officially began!
