Zhu Zhiling's nose was sour when she heard this, and she almost burst into tears.

She has always been praised by her mother since she was a child, and when she was not in charge of the country, her mother sometimes wrote edicts, and occasionally let her read them after writing, and asked her to change one or two words as appropriate, and she did not shy away from expressing her opinions.

Later, when she grew up, in order to appear deferential in front of her mother, she became more and more unwilling to change, and always shirked perfunctory. Over time, her mother stopped asking her. Now the mother suddenly said this, as if the good times of the past were still there, but the tension between mother and daughter was really to the extreme, how did people who didn't know know that what the emperor was asking about at this moment was an edict of abdication.

Zhu Zhiling read it according to his words, and saw that the Ming Emperor used the words "deferential and filial" when mentioning himself, and suddenly felt uneasy. pointed to that place and said: "This is an exaggeration, my daughter is afraid that she can't afford these four words." ”

Emperor Ming pondered, hesitated: "The word Gongshun has been the same for decades, and it is no different. If you talk about filial piety...... Do you feel guilty of conscience? ”

Zhu Zhiling was silent.

What a reversal of what happened tonight, how could she not know. It's just that there are many dreams at night, and time is not waiting, so it is most important to let the mother leave the seal as soon as possible.

"Mother said yes, then it's good, so please ask your mother to press the seal."

The Ming Emperor stood there blankly, as if he didn't hear.

"Mother!" Zhu Zhiling was already anxious when he saw that the edict had been completed, as long as he pressed the seal, everything would be ripe and there would be no change!

She couldn't help but put down the Qingfeng Sword in her hand, and reached out to the eightfold finch golden emu treasure letter with the jade seal on the case. She was so familiar with the treasure letter that she couldn't be more familiar with, and the jade seal of the country was placed in it, and her mother took out the jade seal from there every time, and then pressed the bright red vermilion seal to the edict.

She couldn't wait to lift the lid on the treasure letter.

……

Empty...... Empty?

It's empty?!

When Zhu Zhiling's mind was in chaos, he suddenly heard a "snap", and he had received a heavy slap in the face. In addition to the buzzing in his ears, there was also the angry shouts of the Ming Emperor.

"Evil obstacles! It's so rebellious! Do you know that by doing so, you have extinguished the last bit of hope I had for you? You are my long-standing expectation, my proudest daughter, and the one I plan to rely on for the rest of my life. I didn't treat you badly, even if you were harsh with your discipline when you were young, but that was also to be able to hand over the burden of this country to you in the future, and the heart of the fist can be learned. What else in this world is worth destroying everything, being so rebellious and so ruthless to force me, forcing me to abandon you? ”

In the end, Emperor Ming was completely different from Fang Cai's calm and relaxed appearance, and he was already in tears. In a moment of grief, she suddenly grabbed the edict she had just written, crumpled it into a ball, and hurried to the incense burner next to her, lifted the lid of the stove, and threw the edict into it. I saw that the edict was immediately burned to spots by the smoldering incense ash, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a puff of green smoke. A pungent smell of burnt incense mixed with the golden wisps of incense wantonly permeated the entire hall.

Zhu Zhiling couldn't care about the hotness on her face, and exclaimed, "No! ”

Seeing that the edict had been destroyed, she couldn't help but be shocked and angry, she didn't pay any attention to the sad look on Emperor Ming's face, and also shouted: "Mother, what is this going to do? ”

Emperor Ming held the carved railing in front of the Danxi steps with both hands, and was trembling with anger.

Zhu Zhiling picked up the Qingfeng Sword that he had put down again, and the only trace of affection that had wrapped around his heart was gone. She said coldly: "Since the mother is so stubborn, the daughter has no choice but to be rude." ”

After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Where are the warriors of the Golden Feather Camp outside the door?!" ”

The door of the Dingxiang Hall was immediately pushed open, and a group of soldiers poured in from outside the door, each holding a sharp blade, standing all over the hall.

"Mother, the matter has come to this, my daughter will ask one last time, will the mother give this edict or not?"

Emperor Ming was no longer as distressed as Fang Cai, she slowly walked to the throne and sat down, her face recovering her usual majesty, and her face was like frost. She looked at everyone condescendingly, and her momentum was like a mountain.

At that moment, Zhu Zhiling felt that somewhere in her heart was irritated, and her mother obviously didn't take herself seriously at all!

She immediately turned her heart sideways and shouted: "Your Majesty is old, it is better to recuperate in the palace, and it is not appropriate to ask about state affairs." Come! First of all, please your majesty to Qingwu Palace! ”

Although the voice fell, none of the soldiers around stepped forward, and none of them answered.

Zhu Zhiling was shocked in his heart, and shouted again: "The Golden Feather Camp listens to the order!" Take Your Majesty to Qingwu Palace immediately! ”

Still silent.

Emperor Ming suddenly spoke on the throne and said loudly: "Where are the soldiers in front of the order?" ”

"In!" The soldiers in the hall responded in unison, and the echo reverberated and resounded throughout the hall.

"The rebel minister Zhu Zhiling, colluding with foreign countries, embezzling the treasury, pretending to be public and private, committing chaos and committing crimes, the crime is extremely heinous! Get it now! ”

Zhu Zhiling was still in a dream, and she had been set up from the chair by several soldiers, and those soldiers had removed the armor on her body with a few strokes, leaving only a few thin middle clothes, and the bulging abdomen became more and more obvious.

"You ...... You guys! Iron Flower! Honeysuckle! Zhu Zhiling was shocked and angry, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"The last general!" The soldier suddenly stepped forward from the midst of it, as high as a hill.

"Tiehua, you are the Chenglang general of the Golden Feather Battalion, let these soldiers retreat!"

Tie Hua shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you are wrong, this Golden Feather Battalion is Your Majesty's Golden Feather Battalion, and the last general is also Your Majesty's general." ”

Emperor Ming's sneer came: "A rough person who practices martial arts still understands the truth, you have been both civil and military since you were a child, but you can't understand it, it's really a big joke." ”

The door of the hall was wide open, the autumn wind was bleak, and Zhu Zhiling couldn't help but tremble a little when she sat on the ground in thin clothes. Emperor Ming looked down and couldn't help frowning.

After all, it is the children of the Zhu family, and it is really detrimental to their dignity if they are not in good clothes.

She glanced at both sides, and the palace maids immediately understood, and immediately found a velvet blanket from the hall to put it on for Zhu Zhiling.

Zhu Zhiling muttered dumbfoundedly, "I don't understand...... I don't understand, this Golden Feather Battalion has already been transferred to the north of the city by me, and these thousand soldiers here are the dead soldiers I have trained, how can they listen to your orders. ”

"It's true that the Golden Feather Battalion was transferred to the north of the city by you, but this thousand soldiers are not your thousand soldiers. From beginning to end, I only had some flaws in this point, and I was worried about whether you would see it. Unexpectedly, you really didn't see it, so you can't make a big deal. ”

Zhu Zhiling took a closer look when she heard this, and suddenly found something.

The 1,000 dead were all pre-selected female soldiers, not a single male soldier. But there are men and women in the soldiers in front of them, but the armor they wear is exactly the same, and when they put on helmets, they really can't tell if they are men or women if they don't look carefully in the night.

"Sure enough, there is a ...... of fraud," Zhu Zhiling asked in surprise, "What about my 1,000 soldiers?" ”

Emperor Ming looked around and shouted, "Tiehua, you stay, and the rest of the people will all go out." ”

For a while, the soldiers and palace maids poured out of the Dingxiang Hall like a tide, and only Emperor Ming, Zhu Zhiling, and Tiehua were left in the hall.

"Those thousand of you have already drowned in the secret passage under the Fuxing Terrace."

"You...... How do you know that I let my soldiers enter the city through a secret passage? Zhu Zhiling looked at Tie Hua hatefully: "Is it your secret?" ”

Tiehua, a person who only obeys his own orders, has become a so-called "loyal minister" in the blink of an eye, for such a reason, Zhu Zhiling will not believe anything he says. But Zhu Zhiling really couldn't think of any reason to explain Tiehua betraying her so easily.

Tie Hua stood expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard Zhu Zhiling's question.

"You don't have to ask Tiehua, you have seen the things in the Luanxiang Palace. You also learned how much work your grandmother spent building Taiye City in the first place. I'm not afraid to tell you that in fact, when the Blue Wave Water Prison was built, it failed due to underestimation. It's not that there is anything wrong with the water dungeon itself, it's just that the passage is too narrow, and the bottom is not spacious enough to accommodate many prisoners. So another big one was built. But it was a pity that the original water prison was vacant, so the emperor's grandmother simply dug one end of it to Baihua Lane outside the city and built a narrow and narrow secret passage. ”

Zhu Zhiling was stunned, how could this secret passage under the Fuxing Terrace be a water prison.

"One end of this secret passage leads to Hundred Flowers Lane, but the other end is ...... But two exits were built, one leading to Fuxingtai, and the other exit was in the side hall of the Yi Palace. The Emperor's grandmother set up the mechanism early, and as long as someone enters Baihua Lane, there will be a warning bell at the end of the Phi Xiang Palace. Once the mechanism is activated on this side of the Phi Xiang Palace, the entire secret passage will be flooded, which is the same as the principle of the blue wave water prison. ”

"This ...... How is this possible! I personally walked through that secret passage, only two entrances of Fuxingtai and Baihua Lane, where is there any fork in the road, and how can it lead to this Yigong Phixiang Palace! ”

"This is your grandmother's ingenuity. The fork in the road to the Phi Xiang Hall is closed, and the exit will only appear if you go out from the Phi Xiang Temple. In this way, the outside enemy cannot invade the inside, but the people inside can flee outside. ”

When Emperor Ming said this, he suddenly sighed, "Originally, these secrets, if you come to ask me, I will definitely tell you one by one, but because you have evil thoughts in your heart, when you impeached Lu Wenchi on the Fuxing Platform that day, you occasionally bumped into Lu Xingyuan coming out of the secret passage, but you deliberately didn't ask me, wanting me to think that you didn't know this secret passage, and you wanted to find out by yourself and give me a surprise attack on it, but you didn't know enough about it, it's really ridiculous." ”

"So you already knew that you had been suspicious of me since Lu Xing came out of the secret passage?"

Emperor Ming shook his head, "I noticed it before that. Ever since you were in a hurry to design to bring your aunt back from Cangwu, to let Zhao Wuyun make up for the lack of a household servant, and to start the new mining of Nanhua, I feel that you have some impatient thoughts. ”
