Chapter Seventy-Five: Turning the Tide
The emperor is dead, and the rest of the people will continue to live. Concubine Jing walked up to the emperor's corpse and sighed: "You and I were lovers, but we lost to power in the end. After so many years, it is no longer clear whose fault is more wrong. Rest in peace, and may you not be born in the emperor's house again in the next life. ”
The third prince didn't feel so much, and saw him commanding his subordinates to clean up the mess. The emperor is dead, the prince is in a coma, he seems to be the master of this court, and the generals are ready to give up resistance when they see that the prince is gone. Just when he was complacent, Ling Jun and Zhijie suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Why are the national teachers and the festival masters here?" The third prince was a little surprised, but thinking that he was now in power, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous of the two of them.
"Third Highness, we naturally have a reason for coming, as for the reason, you will know in a while. "Hold the Verse.
Ling Jun crossed the crowd and came to the prince's side. I saw that he stretched out his hand to probe the prince's snort, checked his pulse for him, took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and after a while, the prince woke up slowly, and Ling Jun took out another pill and fed it to him. When the prince first woke up, he subconsciously swallowed the pill, and Ling Jun saw that he had regained his senses and slowly relaxed his mind.
"What have you done!" the third prince was shocked and angry. A person who should have died, forced Ling Jun to come back to life, if the prince didn't die, what else would happen to him?
Seeing that the crown prince had eased up, the soldiers regained their fighting spirit and confronted the forbidden army of the three princes again, and the original one-sided advantage disappeared in an instant. Things have come to this point, either you die or I die, the third prince knows the truth well, he can't care about complaining, and said to the concubine next to him: "Niangniang, what other magic medicine do you have to take out and use, my father is taboo, I am not taboo, use your medicine, kill them all!"
Concubine Jing looked at the third prince who looked crazy and shook her head and said, "If there is really a father, there must be a son." Your father is suspicious, you are cruel and unkind, you are really a proper family. ”
"It's all at this time, what nonsense! Hurry up and take out your medicine!" the third prince was impatient. Women are trouble, the enemy is still chattering, a southwestern barbarian girl, really take herself seriously?
Concubine Jing knew that the third prince had a few catties and taels, and if it weren't for the forbidden army in his hands, she wouldn't have had time to greet him. Now that the enemy has not been eliminated, he has this attitude towards himself, and if he really becomes an emperor in the future, he will inevitably be pushed out to be his scapegoat. She hasn't experienced anything for most of her life, so she won't be so stupid, and she willingly let him drive, not to mention that Ling Jun and Zhijie are also here, plus Zhiying and Concubine An, it is not certain who will kill the deer.
"Third Highness, what I said at the beginning was that I would give the emperor medicine, you come to seize the throne, and we will each take what we need. Now that the emperor is dead, I can take revenge, and I won't participate in the rest, as for whether you can ascend the throne, it depends on your ability. ”
"Do you want to regret it? Ha, do you think you can still get away with doing such a thing?"
"This is not bothering His Royal Highness. You also said that I still have medicine, and it is not enough to participate in the rebellion, and it is still no problem to protect myself. Concubine Jing said lightly. wanted to take advantage of her shortcomings, but he was still a little tender.
"You!" The third prince didn't expect that this barbarian girl was not stupid, and seeing that the situation was not good, she immediately threw herself out. She can be good alone, but she can't, so he no longer expects Jing Concubine, but said to Ling Jun: "The national teacher is really capable, and the dying can be saved, could it be that the gods descended to earth?"
Ling Jun ignored his ridicule and concentrated on saving the prince, as long as the prince did not die, the three princes would not be able to set off the storm.
Seeing that Ling Jun was unmoved, the third prince turned to the ruler and said, "The Taoist chief doesn't know yet, my father and the emperor killed all your fellow disciples before he died, shouldn't such a person die? ”
Zhijie was shocked when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhiying, only to see Zhiying's face full of tears, crumbling, and Concubine An was supporting her by the side. He didn't believe in the three princes, but seeing that Zhiying was like this, he still didn't understand anything, and his words were eighty percent true.
There is such a thing? The emperor's mind is really not something that ordinary people can understand, and he shuddered, and then looked at the third prince, looking expectant, obviously waiting for himself to lose control and do something, so as to take advantage of the weakness. Holding discipline is simple, but not stupid, not to mention that a cultivator abstains from hatred and killing, how can he indiscriminately kill innocent people because of the fault of one person?
Seeing that he was not fooled, the third prince said angrily: "You are still not the eldest disciple of Biyou Mountain? Your own juniors and disciples have been killed, and you are still here with nothing to do, are you worthy of them? What face do you have to go back to see your master?"
Zhijie admitted that his words still had some truth, but in order to sow discord, he said that even if he was heartbroken, he could not let his treacherous plan succeed.
"It's my fault that I didn't take good care of my junior brothers, but the third prince was anxious to tell me about it, so I'm afraid I won't be at ease. ”
"Well, you know that very well. "The three princes can't make a plan, and there is no other way but to fight hard. "Listen to my orders, and take down all those who disobey the order!
As soon as the order came out, the originally quiet and peaceful Yukun Palace suddenly turned into a human Shura field. Shouts of killing, screams, and begs for mercy were intertwined, and there were corpses everywhere, and blood was spilling everywhere.
Concubine Jing and Zhang Lang took advantage of the chaos to escape, and stood tightly with Concubine Zhiying An, surrounding the women to avoid accidental injury.
Ling Jun's brows tightened. The prince's injuries are not fatal, as long as they are treated in time, they will not fall to the root of the disease. But right now, the three princes do not hesitate to break the net, and this situation is very troublesome. He pondered for a moment, then handed the prince over to the ruler, while he stood in the center of the hall with his hands sealed. His speed was fast, and before everyone could react, the entire hall was swept by a powerful air current. Ordinary people couldn't resist this powerful force at all, and they fell to the ground one after another, and some were even knocked unconscious.
Everyone was so frightened by this unprecedented force that they stayed there for a moment, not daring to move.
Ling Jun saw that the chaotic situation was finally under control, so he said: "Everyone, soldiers should take it as their responsibility to protect their families and defend the country, and the struggle for power and profit is not something you should participate in. ”
His words were a little touching, but the soldiers were their own masters, and this antagonism could not be resolved in a few words.
The third prince was also slightly injured in this battle, and when he saw him holding a blood-stained sword, he roared at Lingjun: "What do you know as a Taoist priest! If it weren't for you, I would have held an enthronement ceremony in Chonghua Palace right now." What you rely on is just some miraculous skills, and I am the destiny of heaven!" I saw him wave his hand, "Look at these soldiers who support me, this is power! There are still many ministers in the court and the central government on my side, which point is worse than the crown prince? Don't tell me anything about standing up for a long time, whoever has strength is the emperor!"
"What do you think?" asked Ling Jun rhetorically. "In your opinion, force is probably strength, and since that is the case, let me tell you what real strength is. ”
He said it lightly, but there was no ambiguity under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the third prince. I didn't see how he moved, and the third prince suddenly let out a howl like killing a pig, and everyone was surprised. It turned out that Ling Jun actually unloaded one of the arms of the third prince!
This change was unexpected, and Ling Jun used his actions to educate the cruel and rude three princes. At this time, the Yukun Palace was truly calm.
Under the careful care of the imperial doctors, the prince quickly recovered, had a backbone, and gradually stabilized in the court.
Holding the festival and holding the Ying frowning, Bi Youshan has no one in his life, no corpse in his life, no corpse in his life, the prince, oh no, it should be the new emperor who promised to send more people to find their whereabouts, even if the corpse is found in the end, he will definitely give an explanation.
He Ling also disappeared, and Qiu Lu died on a fork in the road in the palace, Li Xin was upset about this, but they all believed that He Ling's life would not be in danger, and the hope of survival was far greater than that of Biyou Shanmen.
A vigorous royal fight came to an end. Concubine An followed the concubines of the first emperor to the temple and often accompanied the ancient Buddha with the green lantern, of course, it is unknown what happened in the middle. Nanming no longer served as a palace guard, and it is said that he wanted to return to his hometown to marry a wife and have children. Zhiying was awarded the title of "Princess Yuzhen" for her meritorious service in rescuing the driver, and she was the prince of Yitong. As for Ling Jun, he still bears the false title of "National Teacher". Everything seems to be settled, but this is just a new beginning.
After a short period of repair, the new emperor was very reluctant to leave the palace when they said goodbye to the new emperor. He did everything he could, made many promises, and bluntly said that if it were not for their power to turn the tide, he would not be able to ascend to the throne of God, so they could put forward any request, as long as it was something they could do, and they would never refuse. However, the three of them had made up their minds and were unmoved, and in the end the new emperor had to agree. He is not an emperor, he has no arbitrary character, and he does not have the suspicion of being a soldier. He didn't see the abilities of the three as a threat, and his heart couldn't be said to be broad-minded, but he wasn't a fool either. He did not order the killing of the third prince, but imprisoned him, and soon after the news of the death of the third prince came. He was buried with the rites of a concubine, without any accompanying burial and without an inscription.
Before Zhiying left, she went to Yukun Palace to meet the queen. The queen went through some twists and turns, and her expression was not very good, but she still cheered up. Seeing Zhiying, she first said something considerate, and then told her to be careful on the road. Zhiying smiled and responded one by one, she felt that the queen was not a bad person, but the long-term depression made her extremely depressed, and she urgently needed an outlet for catharsis, and disciplining the concubines in the harem had undoubtedly become her way to relieve her loneliness.
"The queen mother take care, hold the profit and go. Zhiying saluted respectfully to the queen.
The queen smiled and nodded.
Out of the palace gate, the three of them looked back at this extremely prosperous and noisy place. As their pace accelerated, they became farther and farther away from the palace, and their hearts became more and more relaxed. For ordinary people, glory and wealth, and worshipping the marquis is a lifelong pursuit, but for them, cultivation is the only right way to return to their original self.
