Chapter 724: Ruthless
But good flowers don't bloom often, and good times don't last long. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even the plum blossoms that are not afraid of the cold cannot bloom forever, and there will always be a day when they wither.
As the emperor's power became more and more stable and concentrated, King Longqing, who had been helping the emperor before, began to change his identity.
King Longqing went from being one of the most powerful helpers to slowly becoming a stumbling block on the road to the emperor's centralization.
He became the tiger on the edge of the couch and the biggest threat to the emperor.
For this queen mother's child, King Longqing is really a little too invisible.
Perhaps, he also unconsciously transferred his feelings for the Queen Mother to the emperor.
Although King Longqing has always been cautious, he is the emperor's father-in-law and occupies the name of the elders.
Second, he felt that the Queen Mother had entrusted the emperor to him before her death, so he had some responsibilities and obligations.
Third, the reason why the emperor was able to ascend the throne smoothly was that although he did not deliberately die, King Longqing still unconsciously made some great achievements.
King Longqing's desire to control power is a little too strong.
I don't know if he began to covet the benefits of power after he was contaminated with power, or he really only thought about the empress dowager's deathbed entrustment, and wanted to help the emperor with his responsibility, in short, King Longqing was too deeply involved in the government.
Even when it came to the emperor's decision-making, he thought about it left and right, and put his beak or two.
And this is precisely what the emperor cannot tolerate the most.
The emperor has always had great ambitions, and for his lofty ideals, he can pay many hardships and pains that ordinary people can't imagine.
How can such an emperor endure being controlled by others everywhere and become a puppet emperor?
In fact, the emperor is not an ungrateful person, which can be seen from his attitude towards the Jade Concubine and the eldest princess.
The two women, the Jade Concubine and the eldest princess, were both people who contributed to the emperor's accession to the throne, and it was because of their kindness that after the emperor ascended the throne, they really tolerated and tolerated the two of them everywhere.
But King Longqing is different, he has really touched the emperor's bottom line.
And he is too powerful, but he has indeed become a threat to the emperor.
Since it is a threat, it cannot be eliminated over there.
Even if you want to be scolded as a wolf's heart and dog's lungs, and you are made ruthless, you must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
Having made up his mind, the emperor treated Duan Meijun and King Longqing with more tenderness and respect, but on the other hand, he was secretly cultivating his own power and methodically tricking King Longqing.
I have to say that our emperor has always been calm and self-controlled, and he is the most talented politician.
Don't look at him in front of Tang Fei, all kinds of chatter, all kinds of no threat, but in front of his political enemies, the emperor is the most terrible killer, the king of Hades.
Confused by the emperor's respectful and honest appearance, he fell into the trap set by the emperor step by step, and King Longqing capsized in the gutter, and died without knowing that he would be planted in the hands of this little emperor whom he trusted and supported himself.
also blames him for being too much of a rival, no matter how young the emperor is, he is an emperor after all.
How can they be as harmless as ordinary innocent teenagers?
With such carelessness in love with the enemy, King Longqing was defeated, but he also died unjustly.
It's just that I pity Queen Duan Meijun.
His father was executed by his husband, and both of them are the people he loves most in his life, who can understand the pain in this?
Duan Meijun was sad and wanted to plead with the emperor, but the emperor had already made up his mind, how could he stop his steps to gain power because of a woman?
In this way, the king of Longqing still died, and the palace of Longqing also collapsed like a bang, and the prosperity of the past was no longer restored, leaving only a desolate land.
And with the collapse of the Longqing Palace, there is also the Jiaqing Palace, which has been attached to the Longqing Palace, which is also Duan Linghan's home.
It is also thanks to the fact that the emperor never likes the crime of sitting together, so although the Jiaqing palace is dilapidated, the emperor did not punish them, but let the king of Jiaqing go.
However, after this catastrophe, King Jiaqing was frightened, but he soon fell seriously ill.
After this illness, King Jiaqing never woke up.
With the death of King Jiaqing, Jiaqing Mansion also followed in the footsteps of Longqing Palace, and quickly declined.
With such ups and downs, from a little prince who was sought after by everyone to a family member of a dilapidated palace, Duan Linghan was not beaten by difficulties, and died quickly matured.
At this time, he knew that he had to stand up to the sky, support the hope of the family, and also support the burden of the family, so that he could take care of his sad and haggard mother and take care of his naïve and ignorant brother.
But although he didn't show anything on his face, deep in Duan Linghan's heart, he still had a deep resentment against the ruthless emperor.
If it weren't for the emperor crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, General En would have destroyed the Longqing King family with revenge, his family would not have been implicated, and his father would not have died in vain.
But that's not all, and right away, something even more terrible happened.
The daughter of King Longqing, the former empress Duan Meijun, was poisoned by the emperor.
That's right, everyone heard it right, the first queen Duan Meijun was indeed poisoned by our emperor.
This matter is extremely secretive to the emperor, and in this world, there is really no one who knows the truth.
And the reason why Duan Linghan knew it was because of his extraordinary concern for Duan Meijun and his deep love.
In fact, the emperor didn't want to kill Duan Meijun.
Although it is said that the emperor's feelings for Duan Meijun should be more used than love, or rather, the emperor has no love for Duan Meijun in the first place.
And after he killed Duan Meijun's father, his relationship with Duan Meijun became extremely embarrassing and embarrassing, but the emperor still didn't think about killing Duan Meijun.
For herself, the queen who has always been skilled and elegant, although the emperor has no love in his heart, he is also full of respect.
It was King Longqing who failed to rebel, and Duan Meijun became the daughter of a criminal minister, but the position of the queen was never thought of being abolished.
It's only to blame Duan Meijun for seeing things that shouldn't be seen when she pleaded with the emperor to spare her father.
Duan Meijun saw the emperor's plan to eradicate King Longqing.
For the emperor, the fall of King Longqing can only be blamed for himself, his wolf ambition, and it can never be the emperor's conspiracy.
If the news of the emperor's plot to kill King Longqing spreads, what a blow it will be to the emperor's reputation!
Wouldn't such an act cool the hearts of the courtiers of the world?
At the same moment, in the emperor's heart, he had already had a killing intent against Duan Meijun.
