Chapter 868: Sukjong Li Tun

The entire Hancheng became lively.

These commoners do not care about the dirty business behind the backs of you big shots. They are happy because the Princess they support has finally returned.

Saying that the Li Dynasty has promoted Longyan Culture to a greater extent is indeed not false.

The Princess returning to the court is a major event; from the common folk to the inner palace, various ceremonial guards had long been prepared quite properly. Along the way, there was the sound of gongs and drums, three kneelings and nine kowtows, and every procedure had regulations regarding what rank of person and what ceremonial guards should be used to receive her.

Therefore, the entire complicated and long process of returning to the palace made Liu Zheng feel very bored.

All kinds of chanting, all kinds of welcomes, all kinds of eulogies, all kinds of dawdling.

"Hahahaha, there is no need for Lord Li to worry about this; we will certainly be responsible for Lord Liu's safety to the end! It is Lord Li who should carefully consider his own path ahead."

Min Weizhong suddenly appeared beside them and gave a cold laugh.

"You, hmph."

"This time, the Princess being able to return to the court safely is all thanks to Lord Liu! However, Lord Liu, this Li Dynasty is not Longyan; the water is too deep, you must be careful."

Seeing all this, Li Hang suppressed his anger and spoke to Liu Zheng with a smile.

Remember the website address.

Liu Zheng smiled, turned his head to glance at this handsome uncle of the King who was riding a horse, and remained noncommittal. He knew that Li Hang was threatening him because he had promised Li Zhenzhu that he would plot to assassinate Min Weizhong and Li Xuanya on the road. On this matter, Liu Zheng did not carry it out, so in the eyes of the Southern Faction, Liu Zheng had already colluded with the Westerner Party; how could they not be hostile toward this Liu Zheng?

Just this time.

The Southern Faction wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack Min Weizhong; since they did not succeed, with the methods of the Liyang Min Clan, they would certainly not sit still and wait for death.

For the time being, Min Weizhong was definitely fine, and by following the Westerner Party, Liu Zheng did not need to fear others.

Li Hang's expression changed, and he glared at Liu Zheng with a vicious look before leaving.

Liu Zheng was left between laughter and tears.

Regardless, at this moment in the eyes of others, he was firmly tied to the Westerner Party. But this was also fine; in any case, the Westerner Party still held the reins of government today, and the Lixing Min Clan represented by Min Weizhong could be described as having imposing momentum, like the sun at high noon. Not only was he a Royal Uncle and Liyang Prefecture Lord, he also served as the Minister of the Military; his older brothers Min Shizhong and Min Dingzhong were officials in the same court, and Min Dingzhong even reached the rank of Left State Councilor. Their family's cultivation of the imperial court was deep-rooted.

In television dramas, this Zhang Yuzhen also had many male confidants, such as Li Hang and Zhixiu; it is said that behind every successful woman, there must be several successful men.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng wanted to laugh.

Min Weizhong asked somewhat strangely: "What is Lord Liu laughing at?"

The mighty procession finally returned to the Li Dynasty Wanggong.

Upon seeing this Wanggong, Liu Zheng also laughed.

The Li Dynasty Hancheng Wanggong was almost just a shrunken version of the Jinghua Imperial Palace. Various palaces stood in great numbers; once one enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on, one's lover becomes a stranger. In his previous life, Liu Zheng had watched many palace intrigue dramas; if those palace ladies were not paired with a martial artist as a lover, the directors would feel it was not interesting.

He knew.

He was about to personally witness the true palace intrigue of this Li Dynasty.

Sukjong Li Tun.

Liu Zheng still laughed out loud: "I was thinking that this time, Lord Min being able to return safely must have caught many people off guard; yet Lord Min is already confident, is that not so?"

Hearing this, Min Weizhong could not help but laugh loudly, a flash of intense killing intent crossing his eyes: "Do they really think they can do anything to my sister?"

Liu Zheng was shaken to his core.

"Your Majesty, summon the Princess and the Longyan Envoy for an audience!"

"Summon the Princess for an audience, summon the Longyan Envoy for an audience!"

A eunuch's voice came from inside.

Having waited in the court for a long time, the civil and military officials also knelt one after another to welcome the Princess upon seeing her.

Perhaps because he was a bystander, Liu Zheng stood to the side, finding the expressions and body language of these civil and military officials quite interesting. On the surface, they were all respectful toward Li Xuanya, but in reality, there were not many who truly welcomed her return.

Is this not the sorrow of this Joseon royal family?

Li Tun's body was very fat; just sitting there, he was already panting, and his eyes were even a bit turbid. At this, Liu Zheng was slightly stunned. But seeing the flash of satisfaction in Min Weizhong's eyes when he looked at Li Tun, Liu Zheng understood in his heart.

At this moment, Li Tun was still a puppet in the hands of these factions.

It should be said that for the past hundred years, the kings of Joseon had all been like this.

Liu Zheng and Li Xuanya exchanged a glance and, surrounded by the crowd, slowly walked toward the Great Hall of the Wanggong.

Sukjong Li Tun sat quietly on the throne, watching all of this.

Liu Zheng took a deep breath.

"Father King."

Seeing her father, Li Xuanya's excitement was beyond words, and she sobbed continuously.

"Xuanya, Xuanya, it is good that you have returned, it is good that you have returned."

The sorrow in Liu Zheng's heart shifted from Li Xuanya to their entire royal family.

Those present, upon seeing Li Tun's appearance, could not help but let a look of disdain flash in the depths of their eyes.

But perhaps only Liu Zheng understood that this guy was actually a person not to be underestimated.

Li Tun stood up, swaying his obese body; the father and daughter meeting was truly moving.

The crowd knelt and bowed one after another.

One by one, they shouted that the Princess bringing reinforcements was the greatest merit!

Li Tun was also very moved.

A vast Joseon Kingdom, when facing the invasion of the Wa, was unable to resist and could only look forward to a weak woman going to Longyan to seek help; it was pathetic and lamentable.

"Quickly rise, rise, let the Mandarin take a good look."

"Reward, she must be rewarded!"

He laughed loudly, then returned to his throne.

As a king, when rewarding his own daughter, he naturally would not be stingy; various titles that Liu Zheng had never heard of were heaped upon Li Xuanya's head as if they cost nothing.

This time, with the reinforcements of the Longyan Army, they would certainly be able to drive the Wokou out!

"It is good that you have returned, it is good that you have returned."

Li Tun wiped away his tears.

Who would have thought that at this very moment, the cold voice of Min Weizhong would ring out: "May I ask Your Majesty, with the Princess returning to the court and Lord Liu arriving in person, why is the Queen not out to greet them? Could it be that she is unwell?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire scene fell into dead silence.

Li Xuanya accepted this with a blank expression.

After a while, Li Tun looked happily toward Liu Zheng: "Are you the Vice Minister Liu from Longyan?"

Liu Zheng was just about to acknowledge it.

A cold atmosphere rose from the soles of everyone's feet.

Liu Zheng's eyelids also twitched violently.

Good heavens, this Min Weizhong really is not ordinary in his domineering way of doing things.
