Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 221, Hongmen Banquet! Liu Hong's trump card, how do you deal with it, Emperor Qing?
"Yan Shendu?"

Liu Hong spoke casually, seeming to have some emotion.

"I didn't expect that you would become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards now, taking over the position from Governor Yan."

Yan Shendu's expression was as stern as Yan Xiaoyi's, and he took Liu Hong to the imperial study.

A sound as thin as a mosquito was heard.

"Mr. Pei, His Majesty was only angry for a moment. As long as you bow your head and apologize to His Majesty and resign from the position of Governor of Kyoto, nothing will happen!"

Obviously Yan Shendu also joined the eldest princess's camp, otherwise he would not have reminded Liu Hong in this way.

Liu Hong smiled and said nothing more.

Yan Shendu brought Liu Hong to the door of the imperial study and stopped.

In the imperial study, soldiers were standing in strict armor, holding iron halberds and piercing Liu Hong with cold eyes.

Hong Sixiang, the old eunuch who had always served in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, was now like an old slave, serving Emperor Qing and pouring tea and water.

Emperor Qing slowly put down the memorial in his hand and looked at the Duke of Pei with a cold expression.

"Pei Gong, do you admit your guilt?"

If it had happened in the past, regardless of whether Liu Hong was guilty or not, he would have immediately knelt down, pretended to tremble, and said that he admitted his guilt.

But now Liu Hong ignored Emperor Qing and his eyes lit up when he saw a small stool.

He casually pulled up a small stool and sat down.

Emperor Qing frowned. It happened again! When Lin Ruofu resigned as prime minister.

I gave him the same cold look.

But Lin Ruofu is the prime minister of a country, what right do you, Liu Hong, have?
Hong Sixiang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like a tiger ready to pounce.

If it were anyone else, being disrespectful in front of the king would naturally be a serious crime, but for a second-rank official of this level.

You, Emperor Qing, still want to treat all officials like dogs, then you are wrong!

"Pei Gong, I'm talking to you!"

Emperor Qing raised his tone, with a hint of anger burning in him.

This was the first time Liu Hong looked directly at Emperor Qing since he traveled through time.

"Your Majesty, just speak directly. I am listening!"

The majestic emperor who once held great power but left corpses everywhere in his anger was actually just like that.

He has an unshaven beard and looks unkempt. If you saw him outside, you would think he was a middle-aged uncle.

Hong Sixiang stood behind Liu Hong at some point, with his hand lightly pressing on Liu Hong's shoulder.

"My child, I know you are quite resentful, but I should still show due respect to His Majesty."

The palm slid down along the shoulder and gently pinched Liu Hong's neck.

It seemed that as long as Emperor Qing spoke, Hong Sixiang would be able to strangle Liu Hong's neck.

Emperor Qing looked at Liu Hong with a teasing look.

He just wanted to see Liu Hong panic.

A slave is a slave! Never dream of climbing over the master's head.

But to Emperor Qing's disappointment, Liu Hong did not show any fear at all.

He simply took something out of his arms and threw it directly on Emperor Qing's desk.

Emperor Qing looked at Liu Hong with great interest. He wanted to see what Liu Hong relied on.

He is the monarch of Qing Kingdom. He has countless masters under his command and he himself is a grandmaster.

What does he have to be afraid of!

There was just a black box in the scroll. Hong Sixiang took a glance but couldn't see anything.

Emperor Qing's expression changed, his mood became uncertain, and he stared at Liu Hong.

The fear that had been in my heart for a long time suddenly broke out.
Until now, Ye Qingmei has created an industrial revolution in Jiangnan, and Emperor Qing is almost ready to prepare gunpowder.

However, the image of Ye Qingmei holding a Barrett and taking the heads of two princes in succession like killing chickens from a thousand meters away is still an unforgettable nightmare for Emperor Qing.

"Who allowed you to take this? It belongs to me. Give it back to me."

Emperor Qing, who has always been calm and composed and thinks everything is under his control, lost his composure for the first time.

How can you not lose your composure?

He thought that in the invisible world, Barrett was aiming at his forehead.

Emperor Qing became restless and unconsciously moved towards the blind spot of his vision.

"Your Majesty, do you think it's possible?" Liu Hong showed a hint of sarcasm.

He dared to walk barefoot without fear of those wearing shoes, and he went straight into the palace without even calling on his personal guards.

As a result, when Emperor Qing saw Barrett, he couldn't help but want to hide.

"If I die in the palace today, Your Majesty, you probably won't be able to sleep in the palace, because you know! I must have my men in the palace."

Liu Hong spoke frankly and did not hide the fact that he was a minister and actually had people planted in the palace.

For a moment, Hong Sixiang didn't know where to put his hands, and looked at Emperor Qing hesitantly.

Liu Hong patted Hong Sixiang's hand.

"Eunuch Hong, my shoulders are a little sore, can you rub them for me?"

Emperor Qing had a gloomy face and still showed no expression.

Of course he could kill Liu Hong and then massacre the imperial guards in the palace and still rest easy.

But then...

Regarding the battle of Mount Dadong, will the plans of the four great masters of the world be carried out?

Can he stay in the palace like a prisoner for the rest of his life?
After all, in Emperor Qing's heart, his life, his great cause, and the reputation of the royal family are the most important.

Who the hell is Liu Hong!
Until now, Emperor Qing still regards Liu Hong as a gangster and a dog by his side.

Who would have nothing better to do than fight with a wild dog and risk their life?

Since killing Liu Hong would cost too much, he would just use the imperial power to remove Liu Hong from all his positions and imprison him in the palace.

Decades later, Liu Hong's diehard followers died.

An imperial edict easily took Liu Hong's life.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qing couldn't help but feel much better, looking at Liu Hong with a bit of contempt.

Fortunately, it was the upstart Liu Hong who controlled Barrett.

Do you think you can control him this way?
Isn’t this a bit too simple?
"That's all. You can only keep your life at most. Liu Hong, you should never jump out at this time."

Liu Hong and Emperor Qing stared at each other in the air.

Sarcasm and disdain complement each other.

Liu Hong nodded and threw out another list.

This records all the ugly things that Emperor Qing did, including the assassination of Ye Qingmei.

"Your Majesty! If these things were known to the world, how would they view you as the emperor?"

Emperor Qing was filled with shock and confusion, not understanding why he had done it so secretly, but was still discovered by Liu Hong.

Join forces to assassinate Ye Qingmei.

It has been many years since officials returned home and were mysteriously assassinated.

There is also the Hanging Temple, where the Third Prince is used as a meat shield.

If these things were to be disclosed, would Emperor Qing have the nerve to continue to be the emperor?
The poor, the aristocratic families, the royal family, Emperor Qing is trying to offend them to death.

Emperor Qing has always let others serve as lone ministers, but in fact he has already put himself in the loneliest position.

"Do you think people in the world trust you or me? I have the Censorate and the East Factory, which are enough to control public opinion."

Emperor Qing tried hard to conceal the imbalance in his heart, but his face became increasingly gloomy.

"Do you dare to trust the Supervisory Council and the East Factory?"

Liu Hong laughed and asked a fatal question.

As the assassination in the Hanging Temple took place, Wu Zhu and the temple messengers appeared one after another, but Chen Pingping concealed the truth.

Emperor Qing has no doubt at all?
As for the East Factory... Liu Hong was the one who established the East Factory, who knows if he will have any backup plan.

Hong Sixiang had unknowingly retreated into the armor of the imperial study, and watched with fear and trepidation as the emperor and his minister fought each other in front of him.

"So what! I have reduced taxes and levies for these young people and have encouraged the development of commerce. Today, Qing is more prosperous than ever before."

"Not only that, I worked hard to govern the country, reformed government affairs, and launched three northern expeditions, causing the Northern Wei to fall apart, leaving only the Northern Qi to survive. How can this achievement not be considered the greatest emperor of all time?"

Emperor Qing took a deep breath.

Tell us what you are most proud of over the years.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hong stood up and scolded Emperor Qing in a fierce tone.

"Are you worthy of being the greatest emperor of all time?"
