Chapter 338: Pressing Forward
Looking at Zhao Xi's eyes that were almost about to burst into stars, a soft smile appeared on Zhao Ling's face.
Although he is in the dust at this moment, his innate nobility can cover up all his embarrassment at the moment.
I saw that he was dressed in a dark brocade suit, accompanied by a heavy ancient sword at his waist, and the brilliant golden crow behind him was rising, and the golden light instantly sprinkled all over the earth, and at the same time shone on his long and heroic figure, his already brilliant temperament was set off like a god coming to the world, which made people can't help but have a feeling of worship.
Zhao Heng was even more excited, and when he rushed up, he hugged Zhao Ling tightly, his cheeks were red because of excitement, and he couldn't stop panting, and his mouth was chattering.
"I'm not dreaming, third brother, it's really the third brother who is back, seventh brother, the third brother is back, I touched it, it's hot, it's really the third brother himself is back."
Looking at Zhao Heng, who was a little incoherent with excitement, Zhao Ling could somewhat understand his mood at the moment; It's like a little beast that has been cornered, and suddenly there is a way to escape in front of him, how can this joy and excitement be explained in a few simple words?
Zhao Ling gently patted Zhao Heng's back to soothe his excitement, and then after he calmed down a little, he slowly walked into the main hall under the gaze of everyone, and at the same time looked up at Jiang Qiang, who was shocked and didn't make a sound for a long time.
Not to mention Jiang Qiang, at this time, even Zhao Xi, Li Ze and the others were taken aback by Zhao Ling's sudden appearance.
Although they knew that he rushed back from Jeju City after receiving the news from the capital, it was a few days to travel from Jeju City to the capital, and the news they got said that he was not injured?
Even if he is injured, how can he appear in the capital on time and appear in front of everyone?
However, Zhao Ling in front of him appeared so clearly and truly that he could not be doubted by anyone.
Zhao Xi lowered his head and endured the soreness and heat in his eyes, he knew that his third brother would never disappoint, and he knew that as long as they could bear it, the third brother would definitely be able to come back on time; Look, the third brother really did it, he lived up to anyone's expectations of him, and when everyone needed him the most, he finally rushed back on time.
The moment Jiang Qiang saw Zhao Ling appear, she felt as if her breath had been taken away, and she opened and closed her mouth, even if she smeared thick fat powder on her face, she couldn't hide the paleness that came out of it.
She couldn't believe it, how could he possibly come back at this time? Also, what surprised her even more was how he could enter the palace in a grand manner?
Obviously, the palace is surrounded by her people inside and outside, and the entire imperial city is controlled by her, why can he still appear in the Taihe Palace?
Jiang Qiang shook her amber eyes, and when she saw Xiao Gang standing behind Zhao Ling clearly, all this was understood.
It turned out that Xiao Gang turned out to be his person, and it turned out that Huang Que was really behind.
Jiang Qiang endured the trembling of anger, her eyes stared at Zhao Ling who was dusty but calm like a cannibal, and the 'Zhao Xuan' standing beside her was also startled because of Zhao Ling's sudden appearance, and she subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she was frightened by Jiang Qiang's fierce eyes, and her body stiffened and did not dare to move for a long time.
Jiang Qiang threatened him and said, "If you dare to cause trouble at this time, be careful that this palace will leave you dead without a place to be buried." ”
'Zhao Xuan' was frightened by Jiang Qiang's cannibalistic eyes, and nodded tremblingly, but his handsome face showed cowardly bitterness.
The real Zhao Xuan would not let himself show such a weak expression, so when he saw the appearance of 'Zhao Xuan' clearly at this time, Zhao Ling, who was standing below, took the initiative to speak: "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for just two months, you seem to have changed a lot." ”
Jiang Qiang saw that 'Zhao Xuan' was trembling constantly, for fear that this waste would ruin his big thing, so he stretched out his hand and clasped 'Zhao Xuan's shoulder, and helped him look at Zhao Ling: "King Ling is really a coincidence, your eldest brother is about to ascend to the great treasure by the edict of the first emperor, if you can get your blessing from King Ling, it will be a very good gift for your eldest brother." ”
Zhao Ling defended 'Zhao Xuan' so much in Jiang Qiang, and didn't even give him a chance to speak, and the suspicion in his heart became more and more affirmative.
"Queen Mother, this king has a better gift for the eldest brother here, I believe that the eldest brother and the queen will be happier when they meet than the blessing of this king."
Zhao Ling said as he received a vermilion box from Xiao Gang's hand, and when the box was opened, he slowly took out the contents in front of the ministers, and when everyone saw clearly what Zhao Ling was holding in his hand, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The bright yellow scroll silk and the scroll carved from the finest white jade are clearly a holy decree, and in terms of appearance, it is almost exactly the same as what Jiang Qiang is holding in his hand.
Jiang Qiang immediately sensed that the situation was getting worse and worse, calmly frowned, lowered her voice, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Zhao Ling smiled faintly: "This king thinks that the queen mother knows what this thing is, it seems that this king has underestimated your brazenness; However, since you don't want to admit it, it doesn't hurt that the king tells you; The holy decree held in the hands of this king is the edict of the throne that his father really wants to show to the people of the world before his death. ”
Xiao Gang followed Zhao Ling's words closely, and said sonorously: "Yes, this edict was taken out of Tai'an Palace by Zhou Guifei Niangniang at the risk of her life, and the emperor repeatedly explained to Niangniang before his death, and he must hand over this edict to King Ling, and follow the instructions on the edict, give way to the world, and ask His Royal Highness King Ling to succeed to the throne." ”
Xiao Gang is a military general, and he has always spoken loudly, and at this moment, he is even more energetic to say these words clearly.
For a while, the hall was full of his loud echoes, which were clearly transmitted to the ears of every minister present.
The current situation is really interesting, first Queen Jiang Qiang took out a testament to the throne, saying that she would support the eldest prince Zhao Xuan to ascend the throne and claim the emperor according to the last words of the edict, but I didn't expect that when I was about to kick the door, suddenly King Ling fell from the sky to stop Jiang Qiang's plan, and also took out an edict, claiming that it was the will of Emperor Showa, and he wanted to follow the will to ascend the throne as emperor.
In normal times, in the court, the battle between King Ling and King Xuan has always been the most competitive, but I didn't expect that now these two people are fighting together again, and they took out two edicts in front of the ministers, which clearly shows that one of the edicts must be fake.
Jiang Qiang looked at the edict held by Zhao Ling in her hand, her eyes were split, her face was hideous, no one knew better than her that the edict held by Zhao Ling in her hand at the moment was the real edict, but as long as she thought that Emperor Showa really passed the throne to the son of that slut in the end, and thought that it would be this slut who got the position she had missed for a lifetime, she couldn't contain the anger rolling in her heart.
No, she resolutely can't admit that the edict in Zhao Ling's hand is true, she wants to see what this has the ability to snatch what belongs to her.
Jiang Qiang pursed her lips and glared at Zhao Ling with a fierce look: "King Ling, at this moment, do you still want to fool the courtiers?" As the master of the harem, what you hold in your hands is the real edict, what are you, dare to take a fake edict and want to steal the beams and change the pillars, and play with everyone? ”
Seeing Jiang Qiang hit a rake, Zhao Ling was not in a hurry to get angry, but looked at Jiang Qiang's appearance of being about to be angry, and smiled softly.
"This king thinks that it is reasonable for you to listen to this statement to the queen; You and me, who is hiding from the world, and who is harboring evil intentions, others don't know, you and I know best; At the beginning, when the king left Beijing for disaster relief, who repeatedly obstructed the king in the disaster relief place, and even in order to achieve the goal, he did not hesitate to buy the killers of the rivers and lakes, and assassinated the king and Queen Jiang many times, these evidences are all kept by the king. ”
Jiang Wu jumped out at this time, pointed at Zhao Ling's nose and scolded: "You son of a cheap maid, you dare to slander the queen mother at will, come here, drag this person down and beat him to death." ”
"Lao Tzu thinks that the person who is really looking for death is you."
Zhao Heng had endured Jiang Wu's idiot for a long time, and now seeing that he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he jumped out again to make trouble, and dared to curse the third brother like this, so he rushed out angrily, raised a kick and kicked Jiang Wu in the chest, and immediately made this Lord Jiang, who was always walking sideways in the capital at the usual time, fall to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth, and couldn't say a word for a long time in pain.
Jiang Qiang saw that her brother was injured by Zhao Heng, and subconsciously took a step forward, but considering the situation she was in now, she stopped the steps she had taken, and looked at Zhao Ling coldly: "Casual slander, do you think that this palace will be knocked down by your words?" ”
"Since the queen mother thinks that His Royal Highness King Ling's words are casually slanderous, then the official's words should have some weight in the hearts of all the courtiers."
Li Ze walked out, and when he looked at the queen with gentle eyes, he gradually turned into coldness: "Queen Mother, do you remember the stupid daughter of this official who was pushed out and used by you?" ”
Jiang Qiang looked at Li Ze's cold eyes, and her heart trembled fiercely, sure enough, it was because of Li Fuqing that she lost Li Ze's right-hand man.
Jiang Qiang's ugly and pale face made Li Ze sneer: "Back then, the eldest lady of the Luo family was wrongfully accused of stealing your shark pearl, but was the shark pearl really stolen by someone?" Also, is the murderer behind the murder of the eldest lady of the Luo family really my stupid and stupid daughter? Queen Mother, for you, many people can become pawns in your hands, but have you ever thought about the innocent people who were killed by you, the innocent people who were framed by you, how sad and hopeless they were in their hearts when they were pushed into a desperate situation by you; Do you be the only one who knows what pain feels like? ”
Naturally, there are also people in the Luo family who are courtiers in the court, and it just so happens that the Luo family, who is now an official in the court, is Luo Yao's biological father Luo Zhuang.
