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

On the surface of the Yangtze River, hundreds of warships sailed against the wind and waves.

Li Chengze's handsome face, which looked a little sick, showed a happy smile.

Under normal circumstances, he would just read poetry and songs in his mansion and act like a noble prince.

But who told Emperor Gao to destroy the Qing Kingdom and kill Emperor Qing? Then Li Chengze would definitely help.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince of Nanqing, Li Chengru, invites you to visit Jiangnan."

Xie Bian picked up a letter and presented it to Li Chengze.

Li Chengze was slightly stunned, picked up a white towel to wipe his palms, read the letter carefully, and was a little absent-minded.

"...brother!"

Fan Wujiu snorted coldly and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot go! His Majesty has now appointed you as the King of Qing. This is a huge amount of trust."

"If you go there, wouldn't you be criticized by others in the court? You should know that the important officials in the court are still quite suspicious of us."

There is no doubt at all!

If it weren't for the pressure from Han Xin and Liu Hong, Li Chengze would have been impeached countless times as the admiral of the Shazhou navy.

Li Chengze's expression was uncertain.

Among the Nanqing royal family, the one he admired and was closest to the most was this eldest brother.

In the army, Li Chengru treated soldiers well, shared weal and woe with them, and always stood at the first stop in battle.

In the court, Li Chengru was the only one who did not follow the crowd. In the fiefdom of Jinglu Jingzhou where he moved later, the people in his fiefdom were still able to survive.

Even though Li Chengru launched a vigorous reform, he died halfway due to the secret obstruction of the aristocratic families.

This does not affect Li Chengze's admiration for his elder brother.

This is a rare gentleman in the world, who is not greedy for power and is loyal to his duties.

It’s a pity that Li Chengru is too loyal. The Qing Kingdom is in danger, and he has to do everything he can to save the doomed Qing Kingdom.

Li Chengze put down the letter and sighed softly.

"Of course I know, but Big Brother invited me, so I have to go. Big Brother won't do anything to me, will he?"

Xie Bian was quietly guarding beside Li Chengze. When he heard Li Chengze's voice, he was ready to clasp his fists and make arrangements.

Fan Wushou got up in a hurry.

"My Lord, you can't go!"

"No matter how generous the Emperor Gao is, he will not allow you and the bloodline of the Nanqing royal family to have any more suggestions. Do you really want to be an idle prince?"

The generals of the Shazhou Navy also looked at Li Chengze.

When the war was about to begin, Li Chengze went to meet the enemy army. How could this be considered improper?

If Li Chengze really went there, these naval commanders would definitely impeach him severely.

Li Chengze smiled freely and put the letter in his arms.

"I originally wanted to be an idle prince. At most, I can go a little earlier. As long as His Majesty allows me to participate in the war to destroy Qing, that will be enough."

Fan Wujiu was so anxious that his mouth was dry, but he was helpless in front of Li Chengze who had made up his mind.

"Okay, no need to persuade me, it's better to go and meet him. At least it will stop my last thoughts."

Li Chengze put on his shoes and ate a large plate of grapes.

The sour yet slightly sweet green grapes are like his life.

You have no control over your own life and can only have a few opportunities to get what you want occasionally.

But this time, it was Li Chengze's own choice.

Because he believed that Liu Hong would not be afraid of him because of this incident, nor would he have any intention to kill him.

Because Emperor Gao has always been a very warm and loyal person.

The death of Wu Heng, a loyal minister of Tangzhou, was his own fault. Emperor Gao gave him a chance, but he took credit for himself and was proud of himself, but he did not achieve any achievements that would impress Emperor Gao.

The Shazhou generals watched silently as Li Chengze left in a small boat.

Everyone knew that once Li Chengze left, he would no longer be able to serve as the admiral of the Shazhou Navy.

Emperor Gao Liu Hong would not take action against Li Chengze because of his tolerance.

But Li Chengze resigned as the admiral of the Shazhou Navy, which was a punishment for him.

To prevent others from following suit and chatting with the enemy and trying to get close to them during a big battle, as if it were a child's play.

Even the original hundreds of miles of land of the Xinqing Kingdom would be reduced in population and land.

On a small island along the Yangtze River, Li Chengru was alone, tidying up the weeds on the island with sweat on his forehead.

The island is deserted and covered with bushes.

It might not be easy for that spoiled younger brother to come here.

However, given Li Chengru's temperament, he would not mobilize the people to serve as slaves and clean up this one-time meeting place.

As expected, as soon as Li Chengze stepped onto the island, his brand new clothes were torn into countless pieces.

Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu originally wanted to draw their swords and clear a path for Li Chengze.

Li Chengze was panting and stretched out his hand to stop the two men's actions.

"Don't go over there. I can go by myself. It would be bad if Big Brother saw the two of you carrying weapons."

Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu looked helpless. How could this spoiled prince of theirs be so stubborn?

Li Chengze continued to push aside the thorny wasteland and walked towards the center of the island with difficulty.

Fortunately, the island was not big, and there were several blood marks on his face and hands.

Li Chengze was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He ignored his manners and sat down on the ground.

Because he moved too fast, the gravel on the ground made Li Chengze grimace in pain.

Li Chengru smiled when he saw his brother in such a miserable state, and handed him a water bottle and two multi-grain cakes from his bag.

"You must be tired. Eat something first."

Li Chengze just took a bite of the multi-grain cake, his brows frowned, and he couldn't help but want to vomit, so he forced himself to swallow it.

He looked at Li Chengru, who looked normal, and smiled.

"No wonder your majesty once had such a pleasant conversation with my elder brother, because sometimes you two are the same kind of people."

Li Chengru shook his head and burst into laughter.

"I am different from him. He is barefoot and not afraid of those who wear shoes. He lives a free and easy life. It is only now that the reform and unification of the country have restrained the floating cloud of Emperor Gao."

Li Chengru did not speak about himself because he was bound by countless shackles.

Only in the army, among the soldiers, can you find your true self.

When Li Chengze heard Li Chengru's evaluation of Liu Hong, he also laughed.

"Who would have thought that a gangster would eventually take over the world?"

"The Phoenix lost, and the Sparrow won."

Li Chengze compared Emperor Qing to a phoenix and Liu Hong to a sparrow, his tone full of sarcasm.

Emperor Qing is truly an emperor of all ages! He played such a good hand of cards so badly.

He seemed to be forbearing and watched Liu Hong grow bigger and stronger step by step, and later he even openly split from the Kingdom of Qing.

As for Emperor Qing, he was afraid of Liu Hong's Barrett and his dirty laundry, so he was afraid that Wu Zhu would kill him.

Emperor Qing refused to take action and waited until he reached Mount Dadong. It seemed that he was holding back a big move, but in fact, he was holding back a big one.

Li Chengru also restrained the smile on his face and spoke in a deep voice.

"Now that things have come to this, it is no longer realistic to persuade you to return to Qing. I just want you not to point the gun at your father."

"Father and son killing each other is not a good thing after all."

Li Chengze also restrained the smile on his face. It was originally a good atmosphere for brothers to reminisce about the past, but because of the difference in political views, it revealed a situation of incompatibility.

"Brother, don't you understand what Emperor Qing is like? He has big eyes and a small stomach, is stubborn and self-righteous, and doesn't have a broad mind."

"Did I do something wrong in the beginning? Emperor Qing made me a grindstone, pushing me into a dead end step by step."

"Okay! If he wants me to fight, then I will fight! But when I overwhelmed the crown prince, Emperor Qing suddenly took action to suppress my power and warned me not to have any unreasonable desires for the position of crown prince."

"I was almost driven to death by the Crown Prince and was ready to surrender, but Emperor Qing comforted the Crown Prince that his mother's family was not powerful enough and that I could be the Crown Prince."

"Tell me, is this something an emperor, a father, would do?"

Li Chengze became more and more excited as he spoke, and even roared.

Emperor Qing's desire for control is too strong. He treats his sons like puppets, making their lives worse than death.

Li Chengru didn't expect that Li Chengze had such a deep resentment towards Emperor Qing, and he had some difficulty speaking.

"He is our father after all. It is unacceptable for a son to kill his father."

Li Chengze became happy and in high spirits.

"Brother, don't you know? I have already been enshrined in the Han Dynasty's ancestral temple, and the Emperor Gao once gave me the name Liu Ruyi."

Li Chengru looked at his younger brother and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Resentment? Of course there is.

But Li Chengru had a gentle and generous personality, and many things were forgotten as time passed.

Li Chengze struck while the iron was hot and even wanted to persuade Li Chengru to join the Han Dynasty camp.

"Brother, think about it. You have made great achievements in battle and are known for your kindness in the court and among the people. But because of the bloodline of Dongyi City, you have never been able to become the crown prince."

"Emperor Qing would rather give the crown prince position to a child who is still wet behind the ears than consider you."

Li Chengru's veins bulged on his hands and he spoke in a low voice.

"Stop talking. I have never thought about becoming the emperor, and I don't care about the position of crown prince."

Li Chengze nodded, his eyes becoming even more sarcastic.

"Yes! It's because they know you are a kind person that everyone in the Qing court bullies you."

"Brother, have you ever thought that even if the Qing Kingdom is not destroyed, after the new monarch ascends the throne, the power of the Fan family will expand unprecedentedly, and you, the eldest prince who holds military power, will be invincible."

"When the time comes, will you be given a cup of poisoned wine, or will you be idle for the rest of your life? Unless you are willing to flatter the Fan family and serve them as your master."

Li Chengru had not considered this at the time, and was even unwilling to think about it.

At this moment it was ruthlessly exposed by Li Chengze.

Emperor Qing is so selfish that he only cares about himself. As for his own son, he will sacrifice him at will as long as the price is the highest.

Li Chengru shook his head and closed his eyes, recalling the various ways Emperor Zhongqing had treated him, his heart bleeding.

Are you against Emperor Qing? No! There is no reason in the world for a son to oppose his father.

If this is his, Li Chengru's fate.

Then he would accept it willingly.

When Li Chengru opened his eyes again, his voice was dry and hoarse.

"Stop talking. It seems that you have made up your mind to go against Father."

Li Chengze remained silent and opened his arms.

He just sat there, powerless.

He is not a match for Li Chengru, who has reached the ninth level, in one round.

But he just sat there and let his life fall into Li Chengru's hands.

Because he believed that his elder brother would not kill him.

Sure enough, after Li Chengru's expression changed for a long time, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Go away! From now on, you and I are no longer brothers. If we meet on the battlefield, there is no need to show mercy."

"Hurry back the same way you came. The spies from the Overwatch Council are probably here by now, so hurry up and leave."

Although the brotherhood was severed, Li Chengru still left a way out for his younger brother.

Li Chengze smiled without any nervousness. Instead, he stood up slowly and brushed off the mud on his body.

"No need! The secret agents of the Overwatch Council have probably been dealt with by the masters of the Junshan Society."

"Brother, thank you!"

Li Chengru stood there for a long time like a reef.

Muttered to himself.

"Junshan Meeting? The Junshan Meeting in the Han Dynasty is indeed different from the Junshan Meeting in Qing Kingdom."

Junshan will be in the hands of Emperor Qing, and they will be used as pawns to assassinate ministers who oppose them in the court. All the dirty work will be given to the eldest princess Li Yunrui.

Instead, Liu Hong treated the Junshan Society as a special forces unit and used it like the leader of the martial arts world.

Use Junshan Society to control those unruly martial arts masters. Every president of Junshan Society is equivalent to a marquis of a thousand households and has the right to stand in the court.

Then let Junshan Society carry out anti-assassination and prevent the heroes from breaking the law by force.

If assassinations continue despite repeated bans, Liu Hong will simply humanely destroy the assassins.

Li Chengru didn't know how he left.

Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, I couldn't help but shout.

"Qing Kingdom! The hundred-year-old Qing Kingdom..."

Li Chengru knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

He really doesn't know how to save the Qing Kingdom now. The aristocratic families are fighting for power and profit to accumulate capital for their own retreat.

Emperor Qing issued compulsory national debt indiscriminately and ignored people's livelihood.

There were basically no rebels in the Qing Kingdom, because they were either dead or starving to death, and could not cause any waves among the 800,000-strong army.

If you dare to rebel, all nine generations of your clan will be killed.

Li Chengze looked at the distraught Li Chengru with a trace of sympathy.

However, he also had to rush to Songjiang Prefecture to confess his crimes of meeting with the enemy general in private and even letting the enemy general escape.

After all, even if Liu Hong was willing to give him a chance to explain, Chaotang was still upset.

Li Chengze must also seize the opportunity.

Li Chengze waved his hand and asked the masters of Junshan Society to leave the island, return along the original route, and board the warship of Jiaozhou Navy again.

Songjiang County, the location of the coalition forces of the vassal states.

Liu Hong was completely stunned as he looked at the pile of impeachment memorials.

"Whoever committed such a crime that aroused the envy of heaven and the resentment of the people, caused such anger among the court officials that three members of the cabinet jointly impeached him."

Cheng Jushu held a basket of memorials and scratched his head. (End of this chapter)
