Chapter 116: The End of the Era (Thank You for the Monthly Pass My Name is the King)
Ling Yin Zi walked into the golden palace of Zhu Palace in the midst of the ministers, and at this time there was a blood-stained person kneeling in the golden hall, against the light, everyone couldn't tell the difference, and they were all looking at who he was.
Even Ling Yin Zi frowned slightly, and then smiled indifferently and beckoned the ministers to enter the hall.
The King of Chu, who was sitting on the top of the ninth-level jade steps, had not made a sound, staring at the head of the hundred officials under the jade steps with obscure eyes, with a trace of abnormal red blood in his eyes, watching him surrounded by the ministers, he walked to the bottom of the jade steps with a light smile, stood still in his place, and saluted.
At this time, all the ministers had arrived, but Yin Ziban saw that the seat where Mi Huang was sitting on weekdays was still empty, and the bad premonition in his heart expanded again, but he still held the wat board in an orderly manner and said, "The king, about the matter of lighting the beacon fire in the palace, Weichen has something to report. β
The King of Chu, who was sitting at the top, let out a thick nasal voice.
"Hmm" for a moment.
Ling Yin Zi raised his eyebrows slightly at the unclear "um" of the King of Chu, and continued to arch his hand, "If I am the son of the Ao family, if Ao Yuejiao, I burned down my Ruo Ao clan ancestral hall in Jingling County a month ago, so that the ancestors could not rest in peace, and my Ruo Ao clan was shocked and angry, and last night he commanded the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division and the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army to launch political troops, wanting to seize the power of Ruo Ao's six military forces, so Zi Pan lit a beacon fire, but Weichen has now killed him. β
Burning down the ancestral hall?
The ministers were shocked.
The ancestral hall of each family is a big deal.
Unexpectedly, Yue Jiao not only forcibly circled 50,000 displaced people, but also burned down the ancestral hall, which is really untamable for wolves, and repays virtue with resentment!
But the king of Chu, who was sitting at the top, just said "um" again.
Ling Yin Zi glanced up, and frowned slightly at King Chu's strange calm at this time.
Everyone also raised their eyes curiously and looked at the King of Chu on the jade throne, how could they hear that Yue Jiao burned the ancestral hall and was killed by Ling Yin, and there was no reaction?
I saw that the King of Chu's eyes were bloodshot, but he was not looking at them, but at the blood-stained people in the jade hall, and he seemed to listen to what Lord Ling Yin said, but he didn't seem to listen to it...... He sat on his throne as he had done before, squinting again, and fell asleep.
Ling Yin Zi followed his gaze and looked at the kneeling person in the hall again.
He frowned and tried to see the appearance of the person in it, but this person had been tortured into an inhuman form, the pipa bones were chained, and his limbs were all gone, and he could only kneel.
So Ling Yin Zi asked, "King, I don't know who the prisoner is in the palace?"
When the king of Chu heard this, he seemed to have finally reacted, his wasp-like eyes suddenly focused into a cluster of sharp light, and he raised his hand and said quietly, "The widow still wants to ask you, how did the prince escape from the pursuit of the ten thousand armies of your Ruoao Sixth Department and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division back then?"
The ministers were slightly shocked, "King, this person is a prince?"
A tiger forbidden army standing behind Gongzi raised Gongzi and brushed his hair away, revealing his face that looked like the king of Chu.
Everyone took a deep breath, "It's really a son!"
"He's not dead yet?!"
β¦β¦
The king of Chu sat on the top and heard the words of the ministers, and let out a sneer, "Yes...... The widow suddenly went to court today to ask why Gongzi didn't die?...... can also flee to the Nanban, over the years, he has even led the Nanban tribe to rebel repeatedly, wanting to get out of the control of my Chu State...... To this day, no one has found out, and recently, he has taken advantage of the traces of the Chu and Jin wars to sneak into the capital again, what is the plan? Seeing the widowed young son, do you want to take back the throne that belongs to him?"
Speaking of the "throne", the emotions of the King of Chu gradually got out of control, and in the Golden Palace, a storm was set off, and the King of Chu, who staggered up with Zhao Changshi's hand, pointed to the people under the stairs who were eager to eat his flesh and swallow his bones, and scolded like a demon.
"The beauty he thinks, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he will still be found by this widow, and then cut by a thousand cuts!"
Li Chi was locked behind his back with his hands, and he was escorted by two powerful Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, while his face was bruised and swollen, and his jaw had been dislocated.
In the face of every word that the king of Chu said, there was no way to refute it.
He didn't expect that after he and Cheng Xian'er returned to the south, what was waiting for them was the rebellion of the Nanban tribe, and someone betrayed him and escorted him back to Beijing.
And he didn't accept it, what awaited him was the death of Cheng Xian'er.
The success or defeat of the king has been decided.
β¦β¦
Ling Yin Zi's brows were lightly raised, and the hand holding the wat board tightened.
The king of Chu finished scolding Gongzi, suddenly twisted his head, and the gold beads in front of him collided violently, and his eyes met Ling Yinzi, who did not speak at this time, seeing that his face was deep, with hesitation, he did not ask him to kill Gongzi at the first time, but was silent, so he was even more suspicious of Yue Jiao's secret accusation of Gongzi's conspiracy to make Yin Zi revert.
Just a moment of suspicion.
Let the old King of Chu recall an old incident, which is related to his accession to the throne nineteen years ago, those long-term memories and questions suddenly resurfaced in the heart of the emperor of Chu, so he asked angrily, "Ziban, tell me, who released the prince back then?"
After listening to King Chu's question, the corner of his eyes swept to Ruo Ao Ziliang, who was suddenly slightly panicked beside him.
So, he arched his hand and replied, "I don't know." β
"You don't know?"
The king of Chu patted the throne under him and asked angrily, "Who knows how the prince escaped from the widow's net?...... After so many years, he has been hiding under the noses of the widows, but now he wants to unite with the officials of the DPRK and China to rebel?"
The ministers knelt on the mountain and shouted, "The king is angry!"
The king of Chu pointed at them one by one and said angrily, "You don't know anything one by one. β
Raising his hand and pointing to the beacon fire in the distance, "Okay, the widow asks again, there is no war in the country, why did someone light the beacon fire?"
Ling Yin Ziban always felt that the King of Chu had something to say, and frowned and said the beginning and end of last night again, "That's because there was turmoil in the city last night, and Weichen has calmed down." β
"What unrest?"
The King of Chu raised his eyebrows and asked, "You conspired with Gongzi to rebel against the turmoil of seizing the throne of the widow, and also killed the turmoil of the widow's love general?"
"Yuejiao wolf ambition!"
Ling Yin Ziban immediately denied, "Yu Jingling County burned my Ruo Ao clan ancestral hall, and has been plotting to take advantage of the army's presence to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, threatening the safety of Yingdu, and the ministers cleaned up the gate themselves to ensure the stability of the Chu State!"
The king of Chu laughed and didn't believe it.
Everything is the same as Yue Jiao said.
Ziban will definitely say that Yue Jiao conspired to rebel, and even burned down the ancestral hall, and wanted to cut down the grass and root out him who knew the truth.
Everyone's eyes were staggered, and they didn't understand what happened to King Chu today, how he felt that because of the death of Princess Wu, he was becoming more and more delirious, and he would actually suspect that Lord Yin would let go of his son-in-law.
It's just a joke.
As we all know, he has no intersection with the Gongzi position, and Ling Yin Ziban was not Ling Yin's heir back then, what are the benefits of the Gongzi position intersecting with him?
One sentence: "Kill!"
The sound was sudden, before the ministers could react, where did this "kill" come from, the Tiger Ben forbidden army holding knives and axes in the ambush hall had rushed out from the four corners of the golden palace, and they all killed Ling Yinzi.
Just because Yin Zi hesitated for a moment.
It came suddenly, but it was thunderous.
This was something that no one expected, until a handful of blood splashed on their faces, splashed on their phoenix-patterned court clothes, and dripped on the cold green bricks, that they opened their hands and looked at their faces, the blood on their bodies, and the blood on the ground......
Raised his hand and touched the warm blood on his face, and after a long time, he realized that the King of Chu had really killed Lord Ling Yin!
The power of a country is not as powerful as the fastest knife at this moment, taking people's lives.
Lives are gone.
The powerful could not protect him.
The faces of the two assistants like Ling Yin Zi were shocked and unbelievable, and the official document in his arms fell to the ground with a "clang......
Everyone's voices felt like they were dumb......
Only the sound of chaotic breathing came and went in the hall, and just now Lord Yin was still calmly entering the hall, but now he was in a different place.
How is this possible?
Above the Golden Palace, everyone either opened their eyes wide, or wiped their eyes, suspecting that everything was a dream, and suddenly the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
In the end, I was sure that it was not a fake, and I let out a loud gasping sound.
Then they met each other's eyes.
There is panic in his eyes!
No one thought that Lord Ling Yin, who had been in power all his life, would fall on top of the Golden Palace, which he had stood for nineteen years, with a "bang".
Eyes wide open at the Golden Dome!
Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.
Above the Golden Palace, Ruoao's henchmen erupted in countless screams and questions one after another!
"Lord Yin's ......"
"He's dead......"
"The King's ......"
"How can you kill Lord Yin?......"
"He is the hero of the throne of the Arch Guard......"
Even Ruo Ao Ziliang was stunned for a long time, as if he saw a cornerstone fall in front of him, spilling a piece of uncooled blood around him, and his eyes were immediately stunned, and he couldn't believe it.
In the morning, he learned that Yue Jiao's death was not so heartbroken, because he knew that Yue Jiao burned the ancestral hall and assassinated the princess, but what kind of crime did Zi have?
The son is like a Ao family.
For his momentary soft-heartedness, he lost his life......
So he climbed to the foot of the jade steps of the king of Chu and cried bitterly, "Great King, what are you doing......?" It is the cornerstone of my Chu country!, if it is gone, who else can support my Chu country now?...... And the matter of the son's office has nothing to do with the son. β
He wanted to say that he was soft-hearted and let go of his son-in-law back then, but Li Lao, who was the first confidant of the son, had already stepped forward to grab him, intercepted all his remaining words, bowed down and immediately said, "The king is angry, so that Lord Yin has no intention of rebellion......"
Even Li Chi was stunned on the spot.
Although he had heard Yue Jiao's provocative words to the King of Chu earlier, he didn't expect the King of Chu to be so ruthless.
At this time, his heart was cold, and he was really ruthless.
And he will unfortunately be next.
So he closed his eyes.
Waiting to die.
β¦β¦
In the stunned eyes of everyone, the king of Chu suddenly woke up and looked back at Zhao Changshi beside him in disbelief.
When Ruo Ao Ziyan was rumored to have a "widow's life", he did not kill him in anger, but slowly tried to figure it out, and was even afraid that Yin Ziban and the whole Ruo Ao clan would rebel, but today he lost his mind because of the "son-in-law", the younger brother who was favored by the king since childhood.
The king of Chu, who was hidden behind the twelfth-rate Yu, was in the midst of everyone's exclamations, but in a moment, he straightened out his messy clothes, sorted out his thoughts by the way, returned to his senses, and sat on the throne.
A pair of dry and old hands held the cold throne tightly, hidden behind the heavy curtains, and the old bee eyes were suddenly clear, so he suddenly stroked his forehead with a look of regret, and raised his voice to blame himself, "The widow is dizzy again today, how can he kill his son by mistake?...... The ministers will carry it back like a son, so that Yin Zhizun can be buried well!"
His words, a nineteen-year-old Ling Yin, fell lightly with his words of self-reproach.
Li Lao wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, but two tears crossed the corners of his eyes.
Zhou Mu is dead, Cheng Lao is dead, Lao Situ is dead, and now Ling Yin is also dead......
Isn't it his turn to be next......
The king of Chu was so ruthless that he was too late.
What's dizzy?
Ha, it's time to faint every time!
Ruo Ao Ziliang and the others of the Ruo Ao clan still wanted to argue again, but Li Lao pulled him to kneel and thank Jun En, "The ministers and others thank the king." β
People are killed, and thank you.
This is thunder and rain, all of which are Jun'en.
The ministers couldn't help but sigh, still sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
The king of Chu said "um", and also shed a few old tears, and the ministers in turn tried to persuade him not to blame himself, but he quickly accepted his voice under the persuasion of everyone, but turned to say, "Since Ziban is gone, someone still has to take over the vacant position of Ling Yin, and according to the "Shuangao Covenant", it will be ......."
His big hand swept over everyone's heads, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats.
His hand first fell on Yue Jiao's head beside him, only to see his wolf-like eyes suddenly flashing with excitement, and the King of Chu's brows were hidden behind the twelve-stream Yu and wrinkled, and then looked at Ruo Ao Ziliang with a look of grievance and dissatisfaction, and then looked over Ziliang to look at Ruo Ao Zike who was just degraded by him in the last row, this seems to be his third horse, but this person is a little dishonest in the case of the exile......
The King of Chu thought for a moment, and suddenly found that there was no one to take over the position of Yin Zhi in a hurry.
You can't kill Ling Yin, replace it with Ruo Ao Ziyan.
Hu'er, he just remembered that Ruo Ao Ziyan, who was still in the north with 100,000 Chu troops, would come back and see his father's death?
At this time, he held the armrest and tightened his big hand.
King Chu's wasp-like eyes were stained with a chill on the wasp's tail, and he couldn't help but be annoyed by his impulse just now, so he thought about it and wanted to raise his voice and ask, "By the way, is that Cheng Youtu, who won the Three Kingdoms Alliance for the sake of the widow, pulled out Zhou Mu, a moth, and handled the case of the homeless people?"
The civil officials on the left and right followed Ling Yin Zi for half his life, and when he heard the words, he raised his sleeves and wept and replied, "Your Majesty! Cheng Youtu was ordered by Lord Yin this morning to go north to the eastern suburbs to deliver grain in order to ensure the victory of the Chu and Jin Wars. β
When the king of Chu heard this, his complexion was shining, but because he was sitting on a high place, it was not obvious, and after saying "oh", he said, "Then he will come back to take the position of Ling Yin!"
The King of Chu waved his hand, and the matter was decided, "Anyway, the Cheng clan is also from the Ruo Ao clan." β
"The widow is not a violation of the Martial King's covenant. β
If Ao Ziliang wanted to refute out loud, Li Lao pulled him to kneel on the ground again to receive the order, "King Mingjian!"
If the Ao clan wanted to refute, but how could their voices affect the decision of the King of Chu, Ruo Ao Yuejiao even knelt behind him and wanted to speak.
But the king of Chu waved his hand and pointed at Ruo Ao Ziliang, "And Ziliang, you are also old, a few days ago, didn't you ask for the position of Sima to be held by Yue Jiao?
The ministers looked at each other.
Yue Jiao is still alive?
I saw Yue Jiao's tall figure bow up from behind the jade seat of the King of Chu, revealing a blood-stained battle robe, and a huge hole could be seen in his abdomen.
The ministers were stunned!
The rising golden sun passed through the open thirty-six Zhu doors, sprinkling a layer of gilded brilliance on his elegant face, but the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, just like the gold plaque that had been hung on Chu Zhongtang for three hundred years, and suddenly fell to the ground with a "bang", and he fell to the ground.
When the king of Chu left, Li Lao, who was over sixty years old, looked at the fallen son on the ground with a pale face, and at this moment, he seemed to see not the fall of one person, but an era shared by a family, and with the fall of the son, an end was drawn in the Chu country......
Even if the Chu State is still alive in the future, their power is still there, and their slaves are still there, it will no longer be the era when the most prosperous family shares these three thousand miles of beautiful rivers and mountains.
As the first henchman of Zi, he fell to the ground as weakly as Ruo Ao Ziliang, and then a large number of sub-like vassals threw themselves in front of Zi Pan and cried bitterly.
In the temple, there were mournings.
Let his own parents call in his ear, "Father, father...... What's wrong with you?...... Didn't you want to replace Ruo Ao for a long time?"
"But did we really replace it?"
What Ling Yin Zi couldn't even do, Li Lao looked at Ling Yin Zi in a pool of blood and kowtowed three times, and said slowly, "In the future, there will never be a second Zi in my Chu Kingdom!"
"And the pony!"
Old Li's son said.
"Horses......"
Li Lao's eyes looked out of the hall, looked at the battlefield in the far north, and asked himself softly, "Are the horses still rushing back?"
His eyes inadvertently crossed the vacated position of the princess, and he didn't know if today's incident was whether the king intended to detain the princess in the East Palace, or if he did it unintentionally.
"Why hasn't the lady come yet?"
Chen Huang and Cheng Da said anxiously, "It's too late for the second brother to leave......
Pan Chong, supported by Xianyin, held his forehead, closed his eyes in pain, and sighed, "I don't know how to write today's death in the future......
"Let Lord Yin dictate all his life, meritorious to the family, and useless to the country. Xianyin frowned.
"Maybe...... It's time for our time to come to an end, and it's time for us old guys to leave......"
Pan Chong lost his mind slightly, "If you say that you are wrong, there is no doubt that you have calculated this life, but you missed the life of Yue Jiao back then, and today you are in a different place, and tomorrow the chaos of my Chu country will come......"
Outside the clouds, there was a mournful cry of an eagle at dusk, the palace door was opened, and Pan Chong ordered people to collect his body with a red sandalwood coffin, tidy up his court clothes, and escort him back to Ruo Ao by the forbidden army of hundreds of officials.
Today's Ruo Ao clan no longer has the arrogance of the past, everyone carefully carries the black coffin in the middle, the noon sun shines on their official uniforms and armor, and the undried blood is undoubtedly stained.
Liu Yi looked at the coffin in shock, and was told: Lord Ling Yin is suddenly gone.
The whole city was drowned out by the sudden news of death, and one man was supposed to appear, but he didn't show up for a long time.
β¦β¦
