The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 564 Joy of Life 120

Upon hearing this, Li Chengze fell silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears: "But as a son, how can I stand by and watch my father's killer go unpunished?"

Upon hearing this, the courtiers fell silent, but considering Si Gu Jian's terrifying strength, they ultimately spoke up to dissuade him.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, Li Chengru suddenly stood up, turned around and pointed at the assembled officials, angrily rebuking them: "You have been unjustly fed the rice and salary of the Daqing Emperor. Now that the late Emperor has died tragically, instead of thinking of revenge, you have turned around and threatened the Emperor?"

With that, his eyes reddened, he knelt before Li Chengze, his voice choked with emotion: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army into battle, even if there is only a sliver of hope, to seek justice for the late Emperor! I beg Your Majesty to grant my request!"

"Big brother!" Li Chengze held his hands, and the two brothers hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Seeing this scene, Fan Xian felt quite distressed and almost rushed over to cry with him.

After all, he was also Emperor Qing's son, and the brother of the two men in front of him.

Of course, it's not that there's any affection between them, it's just that the atmosphere was right, and it would be strange if they didn't cry a little.

The courtiers in the hall were filled with fear and anxiety, but could only prostrate themselves on the ground and weep bitterly.

Everyone harbored their own ulterior motives, even though most of the people in the mourning hall had previously been dependent on Li Chengze. But the moment Li Chengze ascended the throne, their positions changed.

The emperor and his officials were always at odds.

Previously, the officials hoped that Li Chengze would be strong and capable, and successfully seize the throne.

However, after Li Chengze ascended the throne, the officials' thoughts changed from supporting his rise to power to seizing more benefits in the new dynasty.

The relationship changed from "we" to "the Emperor" and "we".

At this time, the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and it was a time when both the emperor and his ministers were testing each other's limits. It would inevitably take a period of adjustment and negotiation before the final tone could be set.

Therefore, even though the officials already knew about Li Chengze's ways, they still chose to stand up and stop him.

As everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Li Chengze stood before the coffin, tears still welling in his eyes: "If I cannot avenge my father, what is the point of being emperor?"

These words meant he was determined to send troops. The officials exchanged glances and immediately prepared to persuade him again.

However, Li Chengze directly stopped everyone from speaking: "I have made up my mind on this matter, and there is no need for you to discuss it further."

Upon hearing this, the officials' expressions immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

Their refusal to send troops was only partly a test; the main reason was that they couldn't defeat Si Gu Jian.

Now that Li Chengze is determined to send troops, they instantly feel uneasy.

At the same time, he also harbored some resentment towards Li Chengze, believing that he was stubborn and self-willed and somewhat disregarded the overall situation.

However, Li Chengze soon opened their eyes.

After presiding over Emperor Qing's funeral and placing his memorial tablet in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Li Chengze, in front of the ancestors, angrily denounced Si Gu Jian as despicable and shameless, accusing him of daring to kill the late emperor by relying on his status as a Grandmaster.

Then he lamented his incompetence, saying he was ignorant of martial arts, powerless, and unable to avenge his father, yet secretly he had drawn upon the power of heaven and earth.

And so, everyone watched in disbelief as a vast and powerful force suddenly descended from the sky and landed directly on their emperor.

Then His Majesty's aura began to grow stronger little by little, from fourth rank to fifth rank, sixth rank, seventh rank, eighth rank, ninth rank...

Everyone felt the overwhelming pressure and exclaimed in shock, "This aura is even stronger than that of a ninth-grade martial artist! Could it be that His Majesty has reached... the Grandmaster level?"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd. Everyone looked up at the sky in disbelief, and then at Li Chengze.

It was a consensus among everyone that Li Chengze did not know martial arts.

Now, divine power has descended upon him, making him a grandmaster in one fell swoop.

What does this mean?

This means that Li Chengze is the emperor chosen by heaven!

The ministers who had initially opposed Li Chengze's decision to send troops instantly lost their unease and resentment, replaced by awe and admiration.

An indescribable excitement instantly spread through the crowd.

I don't know who was the first to kneel down and excitedly shout, "Long live the Emperor!"

This shout instantly brought the shocked crowd back to reality. Everyone knelt down, shouting in unison, "Long live the Emperor!"

An old minister, his eyes brimming with tears of emotion, knelt down and exclaimed, "Your Majesty is blessed with divine power; it is truly the mandate of Heaven!"

The other officials also said, "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and we are willing to follow you to the death!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Hearing the string of praises around him, Li Chengze smiled with satisfaction.

very good!

Not only did he shift the blame and clear himself of suspicion of patricide, but he also made his cultivation legitimate and gained the reputation of being "destined by heaven."

He's absolutely amazing!

Everything that followed went so smoothly.

The news that Li Chengze had been blessed by Heaven and become a Grandmaster spread rapidly.

The people, who were originally uneasy because of the deaths of Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun, were immediately cheered upon hearing this news.

Therefore, after Li Chengze made the decision to personally lead the expedition, no one dared to stop him.

Not only did the court officials express their support, but the army's morale was also high, and even the common people were full of expectations.

Li Chengze lived up to expectations, leading the mighty Qing army to quickly capture Dongyi City.

However, many people don't understand why Si Gu Jian hasn't shown up even though the fighting has reached their doorstep.

Li Chengze raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: What else could it be? Of course, it's because he killed Si Gu Jian long ago!

After Dongyi City was captured by the Qing Kingdom, the news quickly reached the Northern Qi.

Originally, the Northern Qi had planned to launch an attack while the Qing Kingdom was in chaos after Emperor Qing's death.

But as the plan changed, not everything went according to plan. Although Emperor Qing died, their Grand Tutor Ku He also died.

Moreover, the Qing Kingdom did not descend into chaos as they had anticipated; instead, it quickly elected a new ruler and stabilized the situation.

When the Empress Dowager and the young emperor of Northern Qi heard this news, they were hesitating whether to continue with the planned military campaign when they heard that the new ruler of Qing had suddenly become a Grandmaster. They were so angry that they laughed!

Nuclear radiation is everywhere in this world, so even ordinary people can at least have a cultivation level of around the third rank.

Even so, who among them has achieved anything in martial arts without practicing diligently through the coldest and hottest winters and summers, bit by bit?

I've never heard of anyone becoming a grandmaster without any cultivation, just by being directly promoted by God.

Your Qing Kingdom is really resorting to any means necessary to stabilize the situation.

For a moment, everyone in Northern Qi was speechless.

It wasn't until news of Li Chengze's capture of Dongyi City arrived that they realized this was no joke.

No, you guys are actually serious?

Is the current emperor of Qing Kingdom truly a Grandmaster?

(Just realized we haven't done the million-word count test yet. Could you all please help me come up with five titles? My brain is completely fried.)
