Chapter 313: A Broken Alliance
"This world has finally fallen into the hands of my Ling family. As soon as the emperor died, the foundation that he had painstakingly managed over the years finally lived up to it. ”
Ling Xiang said in a deep voice.
With his beard brushed, his eyes are ambition and greed that can't be hidden.
"Father is right, all these years of forbearance are finally coming to an end." Ling Yu echoed.
"The question to be considered now is how to make the Queen Mother face the emperor who looks like this, the Queen Mother is nearly seventy years old, and how can she accept seeing her beloved son die so tragically."
"It's just an old woman, and if you can't accept it, you will have less people in the way." After Ling Yugui finished speaking, he thought about it, and was a little relieved,
"But father, we have only found the body of Yuan Ruiming's kid now, and there are two more, don't they need Xuanyi to continue looking for it."
"The subordinates also want to ask the prime minister, but they still need to continue searching."
"Not necessarily."
Ling Xiang's eyebrows and eyes smiled calmly,
"Originally, what we had to deal with was just an emperor, and those two brothers and sisters died, if they didn't die, then they happened to be charged with Bai Yi in the name of killing the king, wouldn't it be very happy?"
"That's right, it's still my father's thoughtfulness!" Ling Yugui rolled his eyes, and it was rare to sort out the relationship, "When he disappeared, it was the two brothers and sisters of the Bai family who were with the emperor, there is no reason for the emperor to have an accident, but the two of them were saved, in that case, the suspicion is also the greatest, so no matter whether it is life or death, it will not hinder our affairs." ”
"You've finally grown."
Ling Xiang glanced at his son, who was usually brave and unscrupulous, and instructed Xuanyi:
"To prepare the carriage, this is only the first step, and then the prime minister has to personally report to the Queen Mother, and obtain the Queen Mother's decree, so that Bai Yi can be justifiably recalled to the imperial capital."
"Yes, subordinates can do it."
After Xuanyi surrendered his hand, he withdrew from the hall.
When only these two fathers and sons are left in the house,
Ling Yugui had no worries when he spoke, and after closing the doors and windows, he came to Ling Xiang's side and said in a low voice:
"Father, the emperor is dead, Bai Yi's biggest obstacle will die soon, when everything settles, is it the world's modified Ling, and it is also the time when my father's dragon robe is added."
His eyes were full of excitement and greed.
"Ridiculous."
Ling Xiang crossed his eyebrows and rebuked Ling Yugui,
Pace forward.
"As long as the bloodline of the Yuan family is not broken, then the surname Yuan can only be in this world, so even if it is King Rong'an, it has a better chance of ascending to the throne than his father."
"Phew, just the waste prince who was sent to Dongli as a hostage, he still has to rely on his father for everything, what qualifications do you have to fight with your father."
"Don't you understand, sometimes it's not just talking, changing Yuan to Ling, this is a thief who plots to usurp the throne, and he will be scolded for 10,000 years."
"So what, when the time comes, when the time comes, when that historian dares to write, he will ask for his head."
"Can you kill the historian and block the mouths of the people in this world?"
"So what my father meant, in the years of our painstaking design and planning, after all, we made wedding dresses for others, and in the end, we still have to be subservient! So what's the point! ”
After Ling Yugui's dream of being an emperor was shattered, he loved to read
It looked a little irritable and broke the jar, so that he was on the seat, poured a glass of wine with a black face and drank it all, and then put down the quilt heavily, and after a clear sound, the sound was broken.
Ling Xiang looked back at his breathless son, and the hope that had only risen before had disappeared again. Under the pressure of displeasure, he explained to him in detail:
"Do you think it's good to be an emperor, when the emperor meets a powerful minister and a relative, he is just a puppet puppet with no power to be erected, and his every move is not up to him, such an emperor, are you willing to be? The emperor is a false name, has no real power, and lives worse than anyone else, on the contrary, as long as he holds great power, he can override the throne. ”
Ling Yu thought about Ling Xiang's words,
truly
Although he didn't want to admit it, it still made sense, instead of being an emperor without rights, it was better to be like Ling Xiang before, to be a powerful minister that everyone feared.
But even after figuring this out, Ling Yugui still had some scruples:
"Father didn't think he could hold Yuan Ruiming at the beginning, but in the end, he didn't have hard wings and used my Ling family against him everywhere."
"So when the dust settles this time, we have to support someone who is more in control as the emperor."
Speaking of which,
It is also the issue that Ling Xiang is most concerned about now,
After the death of the emperor, the most likely successor to the throne of the Yuan family is, as just mentioned, Prince Rong. Although Prince Rong also reached an agreement with him before, he can be regarded as standing in the same boat, and after many things are completed, he will take Prince Rong back to Daqi to set up a fief and establish himself as the king, but in front of the throne, how can he be satisfied with the previous agreement and become a prince?
So silently, the two have changed from allies to antagonistic enemies.
"We have to hurry up, we must block the news, and we must not let King Rong'an take advantage of it." Ling Xiang slowly tightened his fists, his eyes became firm, and he was covered with an impenetrable layer of color.
"It's just that Xin'er's stomach is not angry, if there is a prince, it will not be so passive."
Ling Yugui sighed,
"The secret letter sent to the palace by Benxiang before has already informed Xin'er of this matter, so that even if she borrows seeds, she must find a way to get pregnant as soon as possible."
"Borrow?!"
Ling Yugui frowned slightly,
Even he was so eager for imperial power, and when he heard that Ling Xiang had actually moved this idea, he felt slightly stunned.
"Although I have wronged Xin'er, as a child of my Ling family, I can't help but do this." But after thinking about it, a new question arose, "But looking at the appearance of Fang Cai's corpse, even if you use ice, you can't delay it for much time, and it takes time to conceive, can you catch up?" ”
"What a stretch."
Ling Xiang shook his head, looking like he hated iron but not steel.
"How could a father not know that a prince could not appear in such a short period of time, and borrowing seeds is also a long-term solution, not overnight. But we can also buy the imperial doctor, and first release the news that the imperial concubine is pregnant and pregnant with the emperor's posthumous child, cutting off the road of King Rong'an, so that it is enough for a long time. ”
"Ah...... In that case......"
Ling Yu was good at martial arts, but as soon as he encountered such a complicated matter that had made countless detours, he began to be in the clouds.
looked at Ling Xiang as if he didn't understand.
"In the final analysis, it doesn't matter who the flesh and bones in Xin'er's belly are, or whether there is one. Even if there is still no way to conceive after borrowing seeds, it is a big deal to steal the day and choose one of the same clan, as long as a baby is born after October. In the past, people in the palace would hesitate to obey anyone, but once the emperor died, ......"
"Got it!"
After Ling Xiang said in such detail, Ling Yugui's mind finally became clear.
