Xiao Gang is Zhao Ling's right-hand man, and he has been by Zhao Ling's side all these years, and he knows very well how much he longs for and cherishes his father's love in Zhao Ling's heart.

He will not forget the happy smile on his face when Zhao Ling resolved the misunderstanding with Emperor Showa for many years, just like a simple child who got a candy cube that he wanted most from childhood to adulthood, and ate it so sweet and satisfied; Right now, when Emperor Showa personally said such ruthless words, one can imagine how much impact he should have suffered in Zhao Ling's heart.

Xiao Gang couldn't bear it for a while, so he lay down on the ground with the injured Fu Sheng in his arms, followed him, knelt down in front of Emperor Showa, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just young and vigorous, he never thought of disobeying your arrangement, and asked the emperor to think twice, don't make impulsive moves, otherwise you will destroy the relationship between father and son, but it's too late to regret it." ”

Emperor Showa knew that what he had just said was very hurtful, but he did not regret what he had just said; He just wants this kid to know that he is a father and the lord of the world, everything he has now is given to him, he can let him ascend to the throne of the Ninety-Five, and at the same time drag him down.

As long as he dares not to listen to him, don't blame his father for teaching him.

But although Emperor Showa was angry in his heart, he still loved Zhao Ling in his heart, and when he saw that Zhao Ling turned pale because of his words, he was also a little unbearable; So, following Xiao Gang's words, he asked Zhao Ling, "Do you know that you are wrong?" In the future, I will not challenge my authority again; Don't think that after helping me deal with the government for a few days, the world of the Great Wei will really be in your hands, as long as I reign for a day, you will just be a prince. ”

Listening to Emperor Showa's warning words, Zhao Ling's vibrating pupils crossed Xiao Gang's face, Xiao Gang kept shaking his head at him, telling him not to disobey Emperor Showa again at this time, but Zhao Ling seemed to be unable to see Xiao Gang's eyes.

The dark eyes wrapped in the dark tide and looked towards Emperor Showa: "Father, the son doesn't know what he did wrong, the son only knows that in this whole thing, the most outrageous person is you." ”

"Good! Very good! Very backbone! ”

When Emperor Showa heard Zhao Ling's answer, he couldn't help but raise his head and laughed a few times, and then, just before he could say anything else, a military general dressed in the service of the Imperial Forest Army hurriedly ran in from outside the palace.

Seeing the person coming, Zhao Ling and Xiao Gang both knew each other.

This person's name is Song Yang, his father is Song Richai, a cabinet scholar, who is considered to be the origin of the family, since the Jiang family was eradicated by Emperor Showa, there have been many vacancies in the court, and the position of the former deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army was also occupied by the Jiang family, and later the Jiang family was killed and exiled, and the position of the deputy commander was also vacant; At this time, Song Yang, who had been serving silently in the Imperial Forest Army, was personally picked up by Emperor Showa and sat in the position of deputy commander.

Song Yang didn't have much brilliance in the light of Xiao Gang and others before, but since he was promoted by Emperor Showa, he gradually showed his edge, and soon gained a firm foothold in the Imperial Forest Army; Right now, seeing that he could freely enter and leave Tai'an Palace without being informed, Zhao Ling and Xiao Gang understood everything.

It turned out that this Song Yang had long been Emperor Showa's person, and this man, who was really suspicious, put Xiao Gang next to Zhao Ling as eyes and ears, and put a Song Yang next to Xiao Gang; In his heart, who is really credible? Who else would he believe but himself?

Song Yang walked into the hall quickly, as if he couldn't see the situation in the palace at all, and came to find Emperor Zhaohe, knelt down with his hands in fists and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the prison, last night, Chu Shizi cooperated with outsiders to injure the jailers in the prison, and he successfully escaped from prison at night. ”

Hearing Song Yang's report, Zhao Ling immediately raised his eyebrows; Didn't he personally represent Yunxiao and had to hide what happened in the prison, why would he still be known by his father's people?

After hearing this report, Xiao Gang hurriedly raised his head and looked at Zhao Ling, and sure enough, he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a worried and dazed look, it seems that Chu Shizi's escape from prison has nothing to do with the prince; But at this time, Chu Shizi made such a move, isn't this equivalent to asking for his own death!

Emperor Showa's face was so cold that it was ugly, he gritted his back teeth and looked at Zhao Ling coldly with a snort, and said, "Did you hear that?" What you were worried about still happened, but I didn't expect that this Chu family really didn't take me in the slightest, and even dared to break into the prison? ”

Zhao Ling knew that Emperor Showa had misunderstood, and he didn't care about anything else at the moment, so he hurriedly approached Emperor Showa, and explained with an urgent look in his eyes: "Father, this matter still needs to be investigated, and Erchen believes that it is definitely not Chu He who was sent by the Chu family to rescue him; The father is angry, and he must not be impulsive at this time, otherwise, it will definitely brew irreparable consequences. ”

"If it wasn't for the Chu family's robbery, who else would it be? Jingbei Hou Chu Yi only has this one son, but I clearly remember that when Chu He entered Beijing, he brought hundreds of black armor soldiers with him; You know better than me about the ability of the Black Armor Army, and with their combat strength, they are absolutely capable of rescuing Chu He from the Heavenly Prison. ”

Speaking of the anger, the killing intent on Emperor Showa's face could no longer be concealed, and he said angrily: "I treat Chu Yi well, I gave his daughter to my most beloved son as a concubine, and then let his Chu family have a crown princess; Over the years, he has a heavy army in Qingzhou, and Emperor Tiangao has said that he is the emperor of Qingzhou, and some people believe that I am benevolent to him, and there have been rumors about him in the court, but I will always stand on his side and press down for him; But what about him? How did you repay me? This Chu father and son may have long had wolf ambitions, and this escape from prison is a signal for them to show their ambitions. Someone came, spread my order, seal the nine gates of the capital, no matter inside or outside the city, even if it is three feet into the ground, I must find out all these rebellious ministers and thieves who are punishable. ”

Looking at the angry Emperor Zhaohe, Zhao Ling knew that no matter what he said at this time, he would not believe it; Since this is the case, then he can only use his own means to protect the people he cares about.

Zhao Ling didn't say a word, turned around and was about to walk outside the hall, but as soon as he took two steps, Song Yang, who was originally kneeling on the ground, stood up, and several flew to Zhao Ling and stopped him.

Zhao Ling looked at Song Yang who dared to stop him with unkind eyes, calmed his voice, and said coldly: "Get out!" ”

Song Yang naturally did not dare to stop the crown prince at will, and his current move was completely dictated by Emperor Showa; Right now, looking at the prince's equally angry appearance, he was also a little stunned, but after looking at Emperor Showa, who did not allow him to retreat, he still stood in front of the prince and refused to give up a step.

Zhao Ling pursed his lips, and squeezed out two words in his throat and eyes: "Look for death!" ”

The next moment, when he was about to raise his foot and kick it fiercely towards Song Yang's waist and abdomen, Emperor Showa's voice stopped him at a critical moment, and said, "Ling'er, if you leave the palace half a step today, I will order someone to give that girl surnamed Chu a good look." ”

Zhao Ling immediately restrained his footsteps and looked back at Emperor Showa in disbelief, "Father, don't force me, what does this matter have to do with Yue'er, why are you involved in her?" ”

Emperor Showa knew that the matter had come to this point, and he was no longer allowed to retreat half a point; Although he felt uncomfortable looking at Zhao Ling's crying eyes, in order to achieve his goal, the necessary sacrifices were allowable.

"Why does it have nothing to do with that girl? The relationship between me and your father and son, the reason why I have come to this point is not because of that stinky girl? Speaking of which, the girl surnamed Chu is the culprit, if it weren't for the eradication of her, Chu He wouldn't have to go to jail, and that guy wouldn't have died, as well as Luo Cheng and Zhou Yanran, they might all be fine; So all this has become the way it is now, all because of her, because you can't let go of her, because of this bad relationship between you and her. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Showa took a deep breath, tried his best to control his emotions, and continued: "Don't worry, I won't directly condemn Qingzhou in a short period of time, because I also know very well that in the Qingzhou realm, even if it is my holy decree, there is no way to take him Chu Yi; However, Chu Yi is a good father who loves his children, and as long as his children are in my hands, I can find a way to make him obedient. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Showa came to Zhao Ling, his eyes flashed with cruel luster, and said: "I suddenly have a good way, since I have no way to let you take the initiative to leave that stinky girl, maybe I can find a way to let that stinky girl leave you." ”

"Ling'er, you said, if I do something to hurt the Chu family, or if I take the life of the Chu family, judging from the extent that girl cherishes her family, will she be with you, the son of the murderer who hurt her relatives?"

Zhao Ling had already seen Emperor Showa's madness, so he knew that he might really do it.

After Zhao Ling heard Emperor Showa's words, he immediately thought of Chu Xingyue.

If she ......, if she knew that her father had hurt Chu He or Chu Yi, with Chu Xingyue's character, I am afraid that she would live in a nightmare of hating her father for the rest of her life, and he, as the biological son of her father, was really likely to be pushed away by her.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Ling was afraid! He was really scared!

He stretched out his trembling hand, gently grabbed Emperor Showa's sleeve, and said to Emperor Showa in a voice that was even deeper because of nervousness: "Father, don't do such a cruel thing, don't worry, Chu He I will go and find him back, I will prove that Chu He's escape from prison is not a provocation to your majestic imperial power, and there are ,...... Also, there is the matter of what you want me to accept the side concubine, I will also listen to you, if you think that one is not enough, then we can accept three or four, five or six; You don't like me to love Yue'er too much, I can also promise you that I will try to snub him in the future; Father, son, please don't do anything that really hurts her, Yue'er is kind-hearted, if there is an accident between Chu He or Chu Yi, she will collapse! ”
