My country is dying

Chapter 379 Punishment
In an instant, the entire Nanyue Gate was silent, Xiao Qi was behind Mi Le, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. As for the civil and military officials below, it was as if their acupuncture points had been tapped. Can't stand this sudden situation.

Mi Le also had a shocked expression on his face—why did he say that he wanted to repay the government after being so well-behaved?Obviously before this, he had never mentioned the matter of returning to power!Not even a breath of air.

Looking deeply into his eyes, Hou Junli's eyes reflected the fireworks that bloomed in the sky, the light was flickering, gentle and firm. At that moment, the blood in Mi Le's whole body suddenly boiled, and it was obvious that his whole body was almost numb due to the cold wind. But blood is surging.

"You... get up first!" She lowered her voice.

Hou Junli smiled slightly, and suddenly kowtowed: "Please grant your permission, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he said this, a person suddenly came out from the bottom, it was Zhongyonghou.

"Please grant the emperor's permission!"

As soon as Zhongyonghou's voice came out, a large group of officials immediately knelt down and said these words, and then those who were cultivated by Hou Junli also started to say that the Guan family looked at each other, but because Guan Lehou was not present, the queen mother left early In the field, these people lost their backbone, and in the end they could only obey everyone's echo and kneel down.

Finally, there was the deafening voice of "Please give me permission from the emperor" on the gate of Nanyue!

Mi Le swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally stepped forward to help Hou Junli up: "I'm sure!"

Hou Junli immediately stood up, followed by the civil and military officials behind him, and the fireworks in the sky exploded above the palace wall. Mi Le lowered his voice and asked Hou Junli, "Are you serious?"

"Your majesty thinks that the minister is joking?" Hou Junli said with a smile.

Mi Le met his gaze, and finally looked away again, but the hands under the sleeves were tightly clenched into fists: "I'm afraid I can't do it..."

Hou Junli smiled lightly, stretched out his hand, pushed away her tightly pinched fingers little by little, and then clasped her hand: "I said before, I will help the emperor."

They stood on a high place, and the officials below could only see the two standing together, they couldn't see them holding hands, only Xiao Qi.

As the commander of the imperial army, he naturally pays attention to the emperor's movements all the time, and his position is directly behind the two of them.

Xiao Qi clenched his fists and looked away, but suddenly felt a sharp gaze on him.

He followed the strange light and saw Zhongyonghou standing there with a sullen face, his face covered with black clouds.

Xiao Qi was startled, sober in an instant, and quickly looked away, but his heart beat wildly.

It's night, everything is silent.

Mi Le was so burned by Hou Junli's enthusiasm that he couldn't sleep, so he simply rubbed shoulders with him.

Because it is the New Year, there are three days without going to the morning court, so Mi Le is not worried that he will not be able to get up the next day, so he simply asks him about returning the government.

Hou Junli just smiled casually: "The time has come."

Miller didn't understand what he meant by this time.

"But although it is true that I have taken over the government, you are still making the most important decisions. If you suddenly throw it out and say that you want to return the government, I am not even mentally prepared!"

"There are still two months left, and the emperor has time to make mental preparations now."

Mi Le finally sighed: "Are you really going to leave everything to me?"

"The emperor is the king of a country, and he must learn to be alone. It doesn't make any difference if it's earlier or later." Speaking of this, Hou Junli stared at her deeply and said, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you."

He has said this sentence three times tonight.

Mi Le finally felt relieved a little bit, and leaned on him and hugged him: "...with you here, I won't be afraid anymore."

At the same time, the ancestral hall of Zhongyong Houfu.

When Zhongyonghou's whip lashed Xiao Qi's body heavily, Xiao Qi clenched his teeth, changed his usual evasive posture with a playful smile, and suffered it all.

Seeing this, Zhongyonghou became even angrier: "Do you know your mistake?"

Xiao Qi clenched his teeth: "The grandson is right!"

"That's right?" Zhongyonghou was so angry that his beard was shaking, "Then you tell your parents' tablet, are you wrong?!"

"I'm right!" Xiao Qi raised his voice, but his eyes turned red, "Is it wrong to like someone? Grandpa, haven't you ever been young, haven't you ever liked someone?"

"Who do you like?" Hou Zhongyong almost roared, and he lashed out with a whip, "The three generations of our Xiao family are loyal and brave, and they died for the country and the emperor, not for you to have any disagreements with your master. want!"

"I didn't!" Xiao Qi clenched his teeth, "I never dared to have unreasonable thoughts about the emperor, I didn't before, and I won't have any in the future!"

"You shouldn't be thinking like this!" Zhongyong Hou said sharply, "In a few days... no, tomorrow, tomorrow I will have someone choose Miss Liangjia, you hurry up and marry me!"

"Grandpa!" Xiao Qi grabbed his arm suddenly, "Where did I go wrong? Tell me, where did I go wrong?"

Hou Zhongyong suddenly raised his hand, and after a long while, he had no choice but to put it down. He stared at his scarlet eyes and said, "Your Majesty is a man, don't you know? You want three generations of my Xiao family to be loyal and brave, to serve you with color? Xiao Qi, are you worthy of your father's tablet?"

After the words fell, Zhongyong Hou broke free from his hand: "You are kneeling here tonight, when will you know you are wrong, and when will you get up!"

The door of the ancestral hall opened and closed, Xiao Qi knelt alone on the cold ground and shook his head: "I am not wrong...no..."

On the first day of the new year, although Mi Le woke up in the afternoon, she still left the palace with Hou Junli.

As for the reason, it is naturally to live the life of an ordinary person!

The capital city is very lively during the New Year, and the streets are full of stalls, with food, drink, entertainment, juggling, lanterns, everything you expect to find.

Mi Le pointed to a red lantern with fish every year and looked at Hou Junli. The latter sighed and paid the money. Mi Le immediately cheered and took the lantern. The lantern vendor smiled and said, "You brothers very nice!"

Mi Le immediately covered his mouth with his hands and whispered, "Boss, this is my uncle!"

The store owner took a look at Hou Junli and immediately laughed: "Such a young uncle, that young master is so lucky!"

Mi Le smiled and shook the lantern in his hand: "Not bad."

When he turned his head to look at Hou Junli, the latter sighed, "What's so good about uncle? You're so infatuated with it?"

"Of course!" Mi Le answered subconsciously, but suddenly realized something, looked at Hou Junli, and saw that the latter had a smirk on his face.

Mi Le immediately gritted his teeth: "Old fox!"

Trick her again!
