Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

A moment later, Li Yuanzhao cautiously arrived at the Imperial Garden, followed by Liu Jin, who was panting heavily.

Emperor Jing slowly raised his eyes and saw that Li Yuanzhao had gained weight, his face looking utterly innocent.

This rebellious son was always like this! Usually, he was bold and unruly, but as soon as he heard about punishment, he would put on this pitiful face, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

In the past, his indulgence of the Crown Prince had always allowed him to muddle through.

But this time... it was different! The Crown Prince dared to be so reckless even while supervising the country! If he continued to be spoiled, wouldn't he turn the world upside down!?

Liu Jin was even worse, his legs shaking frantically, tears constantly swirling in his eyes, as if they would spill out at any moment.

Emperor Jing remained silent at this sight, only staring coldly at the two.

Li Yuanzhao chuckled awkwardly, swallowed hard, and then hung his head low.

Liu Jin also knelt on the ground, lowering his head deeply, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

After a long while, seeing that no one had spoken, Li Yuanzhao cautiously raised his head, but was met with Emperor Jing's murderous gaze.

Li Yuanzhao knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling: "Your son... deserves to die ten thousand times...."

The entire Imperial Garden was eerily silent, even the birdsong had disappeared.

Only Liu Jin's heavy breathing could be heard.

Li Yuanzhao cursed inwardly, 'This dog's breathing is so loud! Does he want to scare me to death!?'

After another long while, Emperor Jing finally spoke, but without the expected rage, instead, he was somewhat calm: "The Crown Prince wants to be a general? And says that I stole your military achievements. Then let you and I have a contest today! ?"

After speaking, he threw the thick stick in his hand directly in front of Li Yuanzhao.

It bounced a few times on the ground.

Li Yuanzhao instantly felt a chill all over his body, and beads of sweat dripped down.

Then he said tremblingly: "How can your son be a match for Father Emperor? Your son is still young... still developing!"

Emperor Jing was stunned, he didn't expect that his son was not only bold but also learned to be shameless!

His face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "It seems that the Crown Prince is indeed feeling unwell, wearing so many clothes in this kind of weather."

Li Yuanzhao quickly said: "Yes! Yes... Today your son has caught a cold, ... a little afraid of the cold...."

Emperor Jing immediately waved his whip, making a cracking sound in the air, and shouted angrily: "Someone! Take off this beast's clothes and let me see!"

The guards on both sides hesitated a little, then stepped forward and began to take off Li Yuanzhao's clothes.

Li Yuanzhao seemed a little unwilling, but because of Emperor Jing's expression, he began to slowly cooperate with the guards.

As soon as the outer layer of clothing was removed, there was a thick cotton-padded jacket inside. After unbuttoning the thick jacket, there was another one inside.

After taking off three or four layers in a row, the white single garment inside was revealed.

When he took off the last layer, a piece of iron plate fell to the ground with a thud.

Emperor Jing looked dumbfounded, while Li Yuanzhao lowered his head in shame.

"And the pants! Take them all off for me!"

Li Yuanzhao began to take off his pants unwillingly again. After taking off two layers, the iron hip protector fell out, followed by iron knee protectors, iron leg protectors....

Looking at the equipment that exploded all over the ground, Emperor Jing was furious!

"Beast! You ungrateful wretch! You are cunning and lazy, and you don't study! Do you want to anger me to death!?!"

"From the moment you were born, which of your food, clothing, and expenses was not the best in the world! I worked so hard to build this world just so that you could be spared the suffering of war in the future! I don't expect you to be a great emperor, but I would be satisfied if you could be a maintaining ruler."

"I only have one son, and all my hopes are placed on you! But what about now! Where have all your books been read! Have you read them into the dog's belly! I understand now, let alone a maintaining ruler, you are not even worthy of being a county magistrate!"

"Someone! Hang him up for me! Today I will teach you how to be a human being again!"

Originally, Li Yuanzhao was extremely afraid, but after hearing Emperor Jing's denigration of him, a rebellious heart suddenly surged, and he shouted loudly: "Wait!"

"Father Emperor! Your son is just not good at studying. When it comes to the art of war and the way of governance, how can I be weaker than others without seeing it with my own eyes!"

"If your son had been born a few years earlier! It might not have been Father Emperor's turn to conquer the Qian Kingdom. How can Father Emperor compare your son to a small county magistrate? Your son is a talent for generals!"

Emperor Jing laughed in anger: "Ignorant beast! Continue to hang him up for me!"

The guards immediately swarmed up, tying Li Yuanzhao tightly, and then hung him in a corner of the Imperial Garden pavilion.

Li Yuanzhao felt ashamed hanging on the pavilion, his face flushed red. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life!

He was still stubborn, speaking plausibly: "I was born at the wrong time! I was born at the wrong time! I am wronged! Wronged to death!"

The veins on Emperor Jing's forehead were exposed, and he waved the whip hard, hitting Li Yuanzhao's buttocks with a crack.

The rebellion of adolescence was immediately dispersed.

Li Yuanzhao panicked and begged for mercy: "Father Emperor! I'm still a child!"

Emperor Jing said angrily: "A child! What a child! When I was as old as you, I was already charging on the battlefield. I don't have a child like you!"

"I can too!"

"Shut up!"

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!" .......

Emperor Jing obviously had a good understanding of how to use the whip, and each strike accurately hit the buttocks.

Li Yuanzhao wailed incessantly, but he was secretly delighted in his heart.

As expected, Father Emperor is still using the same old routine! Besides hitting the buttocks, he won't hit anywhere else!

I wore two layers of hip protection, and the one that fell off just now was for show.

Although the whip hit his body with a crackling sound, it only caused a slight stinging sensation!

"Ah!! Ah!!" Li Yuanzhao tried his best to perform, for fear of being seen through by Emperor Jing.

After a dozen consecutive whips, Emperor Jing was a little out of breath, but the anger in his heart had subsided a lot.

Seeing the Crown Prince spinning around, hoarsely howling, his heart suddenly softened.

He threw the whip aside and ordered to the left and right: "Keep an eye on him! Don't let him down before noon tomorrow!"

Then he turned around and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to leave, Li Yuanzhao, who was hanging, turned around, his buttocks facing Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing's pupils shrank.

A small opening had been whipped open in the single pants on his buttocks, revealing the color of metal inside.

The fire that had just subsided in Emperor Jing's heart suddenly ignited again: "Li Yuanzhao!! Good!! Good ah!!"

"Strip him naked! Not a thread left! Today I must whip you to death!"

Li Yuanzhao, who was immersed in his performance, immediately perked up when he heard Emperor Jing's anger. Knowing that he had been exposed, he panicked and quickly begged for mercy.

"Father Emperor! You've already hit me, your son was wrong... I won't dare to do it again! Forgive your son this time! I was wrong!!"

"You were wrong? No, I was wrong! I shouldn't have given birth to you!"

After saying that, Emperor Jing picked up the whip again and prepared to whip him again.

Just as he was about to unleash his skills, Guo Tianyang trotted into the Imperial Garden.

He glanced at the Crown Prince and then quickly said to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty! Fang Zhengzhi's information has been investigated."

Mentioning Fang Zhengzhi, Emperor Jing's attention was diverted, and he dropped the whip again.

"Put this beast's clothes on! Hang him up and wait for disposal!"

After speaking, he turned and left the Imperial Garden with Guo Tianyang.

Li Yuanzhao secretly felt lucky and breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Jin, who was kneeling not far away, collapsed to the ground when he saw the emperor leave... a puddle flowed from under him....
