Chapter 23 Li Chengyun gets angry and the court is in chaos!

Guo Baokun's voice was filled with heart-wrenching pain, as if every word was soaked in blood and tears.

The Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi, who was standing below, was filled with grief and indignation when he saw his beloved son suffer such injustice.

He pointed a trembling finger at Li Chengyun, his voice full of anger and dissatisfaction:

"Sixth Prince, what you did today was really too much! I just wanted to seek justice for my son, what's wrong with that?!"

"I will report today's incident to His Majesty. With His Majesty's wisdom and justice, he will not allow you to act so recklessly and will give me justice!"

With a determined light in his eyes, he continued:

"I only have Baokun as my son, and the Guo family only has him as its heir!"

"I have devoted my life to the court, and I have no regrets even if I die! But if I cannot redress Baokun's injustice today, I will not be able to rest in peace even if I die!"

"If I cannot seek justice for my son today, I will die to prove my loyalty! Let the world judge whether it is the Sixth Prince's fault or the fault of me and my son!"

At this moment, Guo Youzhi seemed to have forgotten Li Chengyun's identity as a prince, and almost pointed at his nose and scolded him.

The prince witnessed this scene, secretly applauded in his heart, and asked the guard beside him quietly:

"Have those hidden masters been properly arranged?"

The guard replied respectfully:

"Your Highness, they are ready and waiting for your orders at any time!"

Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes flashed with satisfaction, as if everything was under his control.

at the same time.

Emperor Qing in the palace also learned the latest news.

Seeing Guo Baokun bluntly accusing Li Chengyun and Guo Youzhi using even more harsh words, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

In his opinion, as a minister, how could Guo Youzhi be so rude to accuse the son of Emperor Qing.

However, Emperor Qing also understood that although Guo Youzhi's actions were inappropriate as the Minister of Rites, Li Chengyun's behavior was indeed excessive.

Therefore, he did not blame Guo Youzhi too much, but just felt a little dissatisfied.

At this moment, what Emperor Qing was most concerned about was Li Chengyun's next reaction.

If Li Chengyun could restrain himself a little and not let the Crown Prince and Minister Guo find any flaws in him, he could still save some face and prove that he still had a bit of intelligence left.

However, if he continued to act on his own, was arrogant and disrespectful, ignored the dignity of Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, and insisted on protecting Fan Sizhe and Fan Xian, then he would completely disappoint Emperor Qing.

As a royal noble, what Li Chengyun should know most is how to protect himself.

One's own safety is more important than Mount Tai. If one puts himself in danger because of outsiders, or thinks that no one dares to move, then he is truly destroying his own future.

Emperor Qing's eyes were deep. He didn't want Li Chengyun to take such a stupid path.

After all, he once had a glimmer of hope for Li Chengyun.

……

In Kyoto Prefecture.

Guo Youzhi fell to his knees on the ground, tears streaming down his face, like a miserable old father who was unable to redress the injustice for his son.

When the prince saw this, he knew the time had come.

He hurried forward to help Guo Youzhi up, and comforted him with a heavy face:

"Minister Guo, why do you have to do this? You have served the court loyally for many years, and the emperor has always remembered your contributions."

"You don't have to be so pessimistic. Although my sixth brother is a bit naughty, he is definitely not someone who would disrupt the laws of the country! Regarding your son's matter, the court will definitely give you justice and severely punish the murderer to comfort your heart!"

Guo Youzhi took a deep breath, stopped the tears in his eyes, and with a sad face, he bowed deeply to the prince and said:

"I understand everything your Highness the Crown Prince said! I dare not blame your Highness the Sixth Prince."

"But the Sixth Prince's behavior this time was really too much. He was unwilling to give me even the most basic justice! I am really unwilling to accept this!"

"Your Highness, there is no need to persuade me any further. I must seek justice for the injuries inflicted on my son! Fan Sizhe and Fan Xian, these two evil beasts, must receive the punishment they deserve!"

Then, he looked into the distance, with a hint of resentment in his voice:
"The Sixth Prince lost his mother when he was young, and Concubine Hui passed away early. He did not receive strict education when he was young, so he has many naughty behaviors! But even so, it is not an excuse for him to severely injure Bao Kun twice!"

"I don't ask for the Sixth Prince to be severely punished, I just hope he can apologize to Bao Kun. Is this request too much?!"

The prince was silent.

At this moment, the intention of the duet between Guo Youzhi and the prince was obvious.

Their purpose was to provoke Li Chengyun into taking action against Guo Youzhi or Guo Baokun in court, thus giving the prince a legitimate reason to suppress him.

The second prince was also a smart man and he understood the scheme of the two men in an instant.

He immediately made a gesture, signaling the people around him to prepare for the response. When he came to Kyoto Prefecture today, he specially brought the eighth-grade master Fan Wujiu with him in case of emergency.

Now it seems that this preparation may really come in handy.

Fan Xian was standing nearby and also noticed that something was amiss.

He knew in his heart that the Crown Prince and Guo Youzhi were clearly working together to set a trap for Li Chengyun.

Their target is definitely not themselves or Fan Sizhe.

Fan Xian was about to warn him.

However, it was too late.

When the name of Concubine Hui was mentioned, Li Chengyun's eyes instantly turned ice-cold.

He stared coldly at the Crown Prince and Guo Youzhi below, with a sneer on his face:
"Since you are seeking your own death, I will grant your wish!"

"My reputation as the most dissolute playboy in Kyoto is not undeserved!"

"Today, no matter whether you are the Minister of Rites or the Crown Prince, I will treat you all equally and will not spare you any punishment!"

Li Chengyun walked forward calmly.

Guo Baokun lay on the ground and shouted loudly:

"Do you really think it's such an honor to be the most dissolute person in Kyoto? How dare you lay a hand on my father and the Crown Prince! I want to see if you have the guts to do it!"

Li Chengyun glanced at him with disdain, walked up to him, and kicked him away!
Everyone watching in the hall was shocked!

"Oh my, this Li Chengyun really dares to do it!"

"Beating him in the street is already audacious, but he dares to be so brazen in court. He is truly fearless!"

Fan Xian, Fan Sizhe, Fan Ruoruo, Mei Zhili and others all opened their mouths in astonishment.

Mei Zhili, in particular, felt as if an egg could be stuffed into his mouth at this moment, and he was extremely panicked.

As the lord of Kyoto Prefecture, how could he stay out of it when such a farce happened in the court?
Guo Youzhi watched helplessly as his beloved son was kicked away by Li Chengyun, rolling on the ground groaning in pain, his eyes were bloodshot!

What he just said was not just empty talk; the hatred towards Li Chengyun was real and deep in his bones.

Seeing that his son's old injuries had not healed and he was suffering new pain, the anger in his heart completely erupted!

"Li Chengyun! How dare you openly attack me in court? Where do you think the laws of Qing Kingdom stand?"

"I, Guo Youzhi, have been diligent and cautious all my life, but I have never seen a prince as arrogant and domineering as you! Even if His Majesty were here in person today, I would still scold you!"

He then shouted:

"You are a shameless dandy. As a prince, you enjoy the people's money, but you only seek pleasure and linger in the places of fireworks. I don't know how much face you have lost for His Majesty!"

"You have always used violence to solve problems, and your mind is full of impulsiveness and recklessness. How can someone like you be worthy of the status of a prince! I will definitely ask His Majesty to abolish your position as prince, otherwise how can our Qing Kingdom be at peace!"

"Li Chengyun, let me tell you, your existence is a misfortune for the entire Qing Kingdom!!"

Seeing Li Chengyun approaching step by step.

Although a hint of joy flashed across the prince's eyes, he still asked seriously:
"Sixth brother, what are you going to do?"

"He openly beat up an official in court. Come! Take him down immediately!"

The prince gave a stern order, and the guards hiding in the dark appeared one after another, ready to capture Li Chengyun on the spot.

See this scene.

The second prince shook his head slightly, signaling Fan Wujiu to stay calm.

He secretly sighed in his heart that Li Chengyun couldn't help himself in such a situation.

What's the point of him trying so hard to win her over? She's just a waste.

Forget it, let’s just put our hopes on Fan Xian.

At the prince's command, the guards rushed towards Li Chengyun like a tide.

However, Li Chengyun seemed unaware. He did not even glance at the guards, but walked firmly in the direction of Guo Youzhi and the prince.

He moved among the guards at a leisurely pace.

Although the guards pounced on him like a tiger descending from a mountain, they were unable to even touch the corner of Li Chengyun's clothes.

He walked easily in front of Guo Youzhi and the prince.

Looking at Guo Youzhi with anger on his face, Li Chengyun suddenly laughed.

His smile was full of teasing and mockery.

Then, he slapped Guo Youzhi in the face without hesitation!
