Chapter 256: Disapproval
"Father." King Qi pushed away the rebels who were blocking his pursuit and holding Emperor Shenwu away, and shouted hoarsely: "You guys dodge for me, dodge." β
Others felt that King Qi was putting on a show and making a show, but Lu Tianyang understood that his father-in-law really wanted to save Emperor Shenwu.
After staring at King Qi for a moment, Lu Tianyang knelt on one knee, as if he couldn't face King Qi's disappointed gaze, and lowered his head, and said solemnly: "The minister asks the prince to obey the holy decree, ascend the throne as the emperor, and stabilize the overall situation." β
Brushing and brushing, the Black Flag Army that Lu Tianyang brought to escort him knelt down neatly, shouting to the sky, "The minister respectfully invites His Royal Highness King Qi to ascend the throne." β
King Qi hesitated for a moment, and then grabbed his own son who had just come back, "You come with me." β
Walking through the people who were kneeling on the ground and begging King Qi to ascend the throne and become emperor, King Qi dragged Lu Tianyang into the tent on the side, and before entering, he glanced back at Ah Jiu, who was full of worry, and pointed: "You come here too." β
Ah Jiu felt a dazzling gaze, her legs were a little soft, in the end, she was not as calm as Lu Tianyang, and she couldn't change her face, even if she had memories of her previous life.
Compared with the memories of those few times in the previous life, the current decision on the change of the throne of a vast empire affects the life and death of hundreds of millions of people, this stimulation is far from comparable to the previous life.
Ah Jiu tried his best to stay calm and calm, and Lu Tianyang did not hide it from himself, such as forcing Lu Jiang to rebel, mobilizing the Black Flag Army on the border without authorization, and conspiring with his grandfather who was upright in the imperial capital...... It's just that I am afraid that Lu Tianyang will not expect that Lu Jiang is the opposite, and he has become the biological son of King Qi.
It's really a creation that makes people, and Emperor Shenwu has become his grandfather. No longer a simple emperor.
However, even if the truth was so cruel, Lu Tianyang would not do his best to rescue Emperor Shenwu.
Rescue Emperor Shenwu, what should King Qi do? What's more, the truth that King Qi and Emperor Shenwu turned against each other back then came to light. The fact that the King of Qi 'poisoned' Emperor Shenwu alone was enough to cure the King of Qi to death.
Even if Emperor Shenwu doesn't care, who can guarantee that an old and suspicious person will never care?
Emperor Shenwu has no choice now, he can only entrust the country to the King of Qi, once he returns to the capital safely, no one can guarantee that he will not change his mind.
No one can ignore a founding emperor, even if Emperor Shenwu is old and decrepit, and his ambition has been extinguished.
Now the princes and princes who are qualified to compete for the throne with the King of Qi are all in this car. Lu Tianyang, who was already in complete control of the overall situation, had every chance to cause several accidents and let them die at the hands of the rebels.
Ah Jiu had no doubt that Lu Tianyang had done it completely...... Through the tent, I faintly saw that he was still tall and resolute, even if his life was so unbearable, he still held his head high. Calmly reap the fruits of victory.
After a series of hardships and setbacks, he has already exercised a body of steel and iron, and his heart has long been sharpened so that he is not affected by external objects, and no one or anything can shake him.
Ah Jiu couldn't help but guess if Emperor Shenwu hadn't thrown himself at Lu Tianyang. She is also among the people that Lu Jiang swept away. Will Lu Tianyang still be so calm?
Reason told her that it was right for Lu Tianyang to be calm and not threatened by Lu Jiang, even if he agreed to Lu Jiang's unreasonable request, Ah Jiu might not be able to survive.
But her feelings can't be controlled, and she thinks that she may not be so important to Lu Tianyang.
When King Qi ascends the throne, he will inevitably lean towards the government and the opposition, there are so many beauties in the world, and he looks better than Ah Jiu. The one who is meek in temperament is more than she can serve. There are so many people, what do he want when the time comes?
Ah Jiu quietly touched her cheek, not that she was arrogant, even if she was among the top beauties, but her temperament was not good, and she was always unwilling to love him with peace of mind before.
How could he be so smart and sensitive that he couldn't detect it?
Even the King of Qi, who has always been arrogant, can say a word about how to love, and criticize the hypocritical Lu Jiang speechless, I am afraid that many of the truths are provided by Lu Tianyang and analyzed to the King of Qi.
At the moment when he was kidnapped by Lu Jiang, Ah Jiu actually thought of death...... didn't want to see him being coerced by Lu Jiang, it turned out that unconsciously, she had already put aside her vow not to love anyone again, and was once again willing to give everything for a person.
This feeling was more intense than in the memory of her previous life, in which she was far from giving so much.
The same ambitious, capable, tenacious, and perhaps emperor man lives in a dynasty where three wives and four concubines are reasonable and legitimate, Ah Jiu has a wry smile on his lips, God really loves himself too much.
The tent curtain was opened, and Lu Tianyang saw Ah Jiu's expression fluttering at the door, his eyes were blank, and he was so distressed that he couldn't do it, so he reached out and dragged her in, hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, Lu Jiang can't hurt you." β
King Qi sighed, sat on the messy couch, supported his jaw, and saw his son and daughter-in-law hugging each other and about to complain to each other, with a headache: "Even if you have a thousand reasons, you can't ignore the life and death of the old man." God, I can't do things in vain for the Son of Man. β
King Qi asked Ah Jiu to come in, not to create an opportunity for their husband and wife to get close, he originally thought that with Ah Jiu's help, his son could rescue the old man and be more attentive, but now Ah Jiu was silent in his arms, and he was afraid that he would not be able to count on her.
Lu Tianyang gently patted Ah Jiu's back, "It's good that you're okay." β
"You shouldn't have stayed with Your Majesty in the first place, or you wouldn't be in any danger at all."
If he had planned for a long time, how could he not protect his biggest weakness?
Ah Jiu was calculated again and again to make him understand that weaknesses cannot be hidden, and he didn't want Ah Jiu to always face danger, only if he became the strongest person, his weaknesses would not be threatened by the enemy, and Ah Jiu could live the life she wanted to live and do what she wanted to do.
"Your Majesty talked about the past, I guessed a little more, where can I go away?"
Ah Jiu showed his merits a little, and subconsciously entangled him tighter, Emperor Shenwu was kind to her and had always been very fond of her, but the person who was wrapped in his hands was even more important, how could Ah Jiu force him to rescue Emperor Shenwu?
Even if she was condemned by her conscience and misunderstood by the world as ruthless and unjust, she admitted it and was willing to share all the criticism and accusations with Lu Tianyang.
The chill in Lu Tianyang's eyes disappeared, and his eyebrows and eyes smiled. The handsome face softened a lot, and he kissed Ah Jiu's forehead gently, "I will personally lead the troops to chase after me." In the first line of heaven, I ambushed an elite soldier, and Lu Jiang wanted to pass through the fear that he would have to leave more than half of the rebels. β
King Qi knew that a line of heaven was the only place to go to the hometown of Dongliao, "Okay, good, I know that you kid won't lift all the hole cards." β
Lu Tianyang straightened Ah Jiu and smiled at King Qi, "The aftermath of the camp." It will trouble the father-in-law, but the father-in-law needs to be justified in his name to rescue His Majesty. You must promise to be emperor. β
"This ......"
"It's not that I threaten you, it's Your Majesty's intention to let you succeed to the throne, Your Majesty is still in the hands of the rebels, and the Empire is still thinking about it, and you are reluctant to succeed to the throne. It will only fail His Majesty's ardent hopes. It will only tear the empire apart and go its own way. β
Lu Tianyang continued: "You can't afford to bear the charge of chaos in the world, and I can't afford to bear it. I implore you to put aside your selfishness, consider the overall situation of the world, and don't let Lu Jiang and other traitors succeed. β
"Don't kneel, don't kneel."
King Qi rushed forward to support Lu Tianyang, "I promise you." Still, can you call me a ......?"
With an earnest expectation in his eyes, his son could call him a father. He also understands how stubborn the son in front of him is.
"It's just a title."
Lu Tianyang avoided King Qi's gaze, pursed his lips and couldn't scream, not to disappoint his father-in-law, but he ...... Until now, it has not been possible to believe the truth.
King Qi had no joy on his face about to become an emperor, and smiled awkwardly: "Yes, it's just a title." β
Ah Jiu felt sorry for King Qi, in the hearts of the men of this dynasty, the inheritance of heirs is more important than anything else, King Qi is already desperate for his heirs, and suddenly he is happy to descend from the sky to become his own son, even if this son is not coming in the right way, but it is also a son-in-law.
It's like a person who is dying of starvation and suddenly has a bite to eat.
Similarly, Ah Jiu felt even more sorry for Lu Tianyang, if he couldn't find the right position, he wouldn't even be able to maintain the father-son relationship with King Qi before, and he would probably be hurt even more seriously at that time.
"You let His Royal Highness the King of Qi obey the order, what about yourself?"
Ah Jiu's words made King Qi's eyes light up, "Yes, my father recognizes that you are my son, and you give the surname Ying Mu, if you don't recognize me, you don't obey the decree, you don't recognize me, and I won't do it to the emperor, the world ...... Whatever, anyway, I'm a person who doesn't have a son, and I don't know who will go cheaper in the world. β
"Since you have a deep relationship with your father-in-law, why do you care about the title?" Ah Jiu continued to persuade: "The matter is so big that it can't be suppressed, why not admit it generously?" β
Lu Tianyang, who should be called Ying Mu, said softly: "If you recognize your father, do you have to recognize your mother?" β
King Qi was stunned, and Ying Mu smiled bitterly: "You can call the relationship between our two masters, you know how many years I have hated her, let me admit that she is my mother, I can't figure it out, and I can't pass this level myself." β
"In the past, for Ah Jiu, I could let go of hatred when she was a passerby. But it doesn't mean that I can forgive her for everything she did, hatred has gone deep into the bone marrow, and not retaliating is already the ultimate I can do. β
"Don't push me anymore."
"I was born and raised, and I can't be surnamed Lu...... I would never admit that I had her blood in me. β
Ah Jiu hugged his tense body and rubbed his chest, "I know, your name is Yingtianyang." β
The warm fragrance in his arms and the soft body made him feel relieved, Ah Jiu supported himself, he would not look down on himself, and he would not force himself to call the woman he hated for more than 20 years.
Feeling that his body was warm and relaxed, Ah Jiu raised his eyes and looked at Ying Tianyang with tenderness and distress that he had never felt before, "I never thought of resolving the grudge between you, whether you admit it or not, I will listen to you." β
What else can King Qi say?
"Go and save the old man, don't be greasy and crooked in front of me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ying Tianyang let go of Ah Jiu, took the order and turned to go out, but heard King Qi say casually, "I don't know if Zhaohua is out of danger, just now Lu Jiang kicked her quite hard, it's a mess, she ......"
With a slight pause at his feet, he left without looking back.
Fang Ke, a clear military order came from outside, "On the orders of Your Majesty, rescue the Emperor Taishang." β
Everyone understood that King Qi had promised to be the emperor. The ministers who were lucky enough to survive had to go and bow to the new monarch after winning the sky to raise the Black Flag Army and set off.
They are all witnesses to this chaos, and they have all heard with their own ears that Emperor Shenwu is located in the King of Qi, even if they supported Prince Bede before, they dare not talk nonsense about King Qi's rebellion at this time when the overall situation has been decided.
Just by virtue of the appearance of the Black Flag Army, these ministers who have been in the officialdom all their lives understand a truth, King Qi's father and son are by no means unprepared, the world is big, the strength is the greatest, and looking at Ying Mu's deployment, there are arrangements for people in the imperial capital.
Seeing Ah Jiu accompanying King Qi, no, the new monarch accepted the pilgrimage, and listened to Ah Jiu arranging the aftermath, while the ministers were completely convinced, they remembered that Ah Jiu was Jiang Shoufu's only granddaughter.
That scheming Shoufu Lord will definitely be able to keep the imperial capital for his grandson-in-law.
Even if there are some unconvinced clowns, I am afraid that they will be destroyed in an instant.
Of course, most of the ministers would not believe that Ying Mu would do his best to rescue Emperor Shenwu, don't look at him leading his troops to chase after him, it was just for show.
So when they learned that Ying Mu had set up an ambush in the sky and severely damaged the rebels led by Lu Jiang, everyone was shocked, thinking that maybe they could really welcome back the emperor.
At least it proves that Ying Mu is trying his best to take back Emperor Shenwu and eliminate the rebels as soon as possible.
Ah Jiu has been busy with the aftermath, settling the wounded, and preparing to return to Beijing, while she has completely taken over the manpower left by Ying Tianyang, always maintaining correspondence with the imperial capital, and discussing with her grandfather how to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.
Xinjun is a non-worker, throwing everything to Ah Jiu, and he himself takes care of the endangered Zhaohua County Lord with the 'resurrected' An Guogong.
"Your Majesty, we will leave for Beijing tomorrow."
Ah Jiu held a few folds that needed to be passed by the new monarch, "Take a look first, this is a congratulatory watch sent by the cabinet, and the name of the year will be finalized after His Majesty returns to Beijing." β
"Hmm."
King Qi flipped through it casually and threw it to Ah Jiu, "I've seen it." β
In recent days, Ah Jiu has done a lot of things that cabinet ministers should do, and the advantage is that Ah Jiu's talent is widely known, and many people privately say that if a man is enough to inherit Jiang Shoufu's mantle, it's a pity...... The woman has never been able to gain a foothold in the court.
The disadvantage is naturally the clichΓ© of Si Chen's argument, and some people reminded King Qi that of course they didn't fall into the favor, and they were reprimanded heavily, and they should have lost their official position and dismissed the knight, but Ah Jiu pleaded for mercy, and King Qi opened the net.
Ah Jiu doesn't hate these people, and she doesn't think that she is Si Chen, in her memory, men and women are equal, and it is not a sin for women to be talented.
Sparing them was just because the way the new monarch ascended the throne was too special and his position was not stable enough, Ah Jiu privately comforted the angry King of Qi, "I want to clean them up, I will have a chance in the future, I am not in a hurry, now stability is overriding everything, let there be less gossip as much as possible, it will be good for Tianyang and His Majesty." β
"Can Zhaohua be out of danger?"
"Nope."
Ah Jiu shook his head and put away the fold, "An Guogong came to me just now, hoping that I can persuade Tianyang to forgive the county lord." β
"If you don't forgive, I said that Zhaohua and I have treated Tianyang badly, and I still hope that Zhaohua can go with peace of mind."
"Although the county lord's condition is dangerous, it may not be impossible to survive." Ah Jiu's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "I asked An Guogong to bring a message to the county lord, if a person goes, regret will become a regret after all, and it will be difficult to compensate for the debt, and the person who should take revenge can't retaliate." β
Ah Jiu gave the county lord of Zhaohua a reason to live. (To be continued......)
