Chapter 271: Dominating the Whole
Longling Mountain was razed to the ground, which really frightened the people nearby, and they prayed silently in their hearts, just begging God not to split this terrifying thunder and lightning on their heads.
The astonishing news that a huge mountain had been razed to the ground in half a minute caused a stir.
After Emperor Liu Qing heard the news, his first reaction was that his face was pale and bloodless, he staggered a few steps, his body shook slightly, as if he might fall to the ground at any time, he kept shaking his head, and muttered in a very small voice in his mouth: "No, it is impossible, the old ancestor is the number one master in the world, and no one can destroy Longling Mountain under the protection of the old ancestor." He didn't dare to believe it, and he didn't want to believe it, because once Longling Mountain was destroyed, it would mean that the old ancestor was probably no longer in the world.
For this god-like existence that has endured countless beliefs, his fall will cause a reshuffle in the world.
Moreover, without Liu Di, Liu Qing at least lacks nine points of confidence, and any bull, ghost, snake and god may be unfavorable to him.
In the past, there was the ancestor Liu Di in charge, no one dared to come to the trouble of the royal family, Liu Qing was also extremely tough and domineering because of the existence of the old ancestor, and offended many masters, and now that Liu Di is dead, the life of the royal family may not be easy.
"What the hell is going on!" Liu Qing's teeth were clucking, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart, maybe the old ancestor was not dead yet, "Someone is coming." He shouted outside.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Shufan, the leader of the Guards, walked in and knelt respectfully.
Liu Qing said in a deep voice: "I have a task to hand over to you now, Shufan, you are a general promoted by me personally. He is also my most trusted right-hand man, and this time I want you to complete this task as quickly as possible. Don't let me down. ”
"Thank you for the emperor's trust, my subordinates will never give up." Zhang Shufan said loyally.
"I want you to take three squads to Longling Mountain right now. Investigate the situation on Longling Mountain, see if there are still people alive in Longling Mountain, and if you find any clues, you can't let go of any clues, collect them all for me, and you can report the collected information to me before dark. Liu Qing said solemnly: "Can you do it?" ”
"Yes!" A simple answer, but unusually confident.
Liu Di's affairs, people in the royal family basically know a thing or two.
Now that such an accident has happened in Longling Mountain, the crown prince and the third prince are already in full swing, without Liu Di's constraints. Their jealousy of Emperor Liu Qing is less than nine points, and even the queen has moved her mind, but the fourth prince, the son of the queen, is young, so there is not much chance of winning for the time being. The fifth prince was like a person who had nothing to do, didn't care about anything, and continued with his normal life.
For the sake of their husbands, that is, the imperial concubines, the eldest princess and the second princess secretly made small moves, trying to take this country into their pockets.
The purest thing is still Liu Yun. Not only did she not know about Liu Di's existence, but she also didn't know that the imperial capital was surging in the dark tide now, she didn't know that her brothers and sisters were scheming, and she didn't know that they had now regarded her as an enemy. Even if she still maintains a harmonious relationship on the surface, her heart has completely divided her into hostile sides.
Of course, the specific news has not yet come out. So although they were all in a hurry, they didn't move. Nothing was done immediately.
That night, Zhang Fan came to the imperial capital.
Just a while, though. He went offline, the time was not early, and the system prompted that the online time was full, so he had to go offline.
The biggest problem has been solved, and now it is just a matter of putting Liu Yun on the throne.
However, things did not stop developing when Zhang Fan went offline, and on the night when Zhang Fan was away, a lot of things were destined to happen in the imperial capital.
First of all, Zhang Shufan came back with information, and Emperor Liu Qing finally determined that Liu Di was dead, the black dragon was also dead, and the ascetics on Longling Mountain were all dead, which was ridiculous, as if all this was the will of heaven, and the rolling thunder would not come sooner or later, but when the black dragon came to find trouble, he not only killed the black dragon, but also killed everyone.
Secondly, the crown prince and others also received information, and he, who had been accumulating strength for many years, fired the first shot at Emperor Liu Qing. In the government conference that night, it was directly stated that the emperor was old and no longer suitable for managing the government, and the empire needed a new vigorous emperor to replace Liu Qing, and this person was undoubtedly the crown prince himself.
In the end, in court politics, as soon as the crown prince proposed, the third prince, the eldest princess, and the second princess immediately echoed, asking the emperor to give up the throne and enjoy his old age in peace. No matter how they fight for the throne in the future, they must at least overthrow the biggest stumbling block at present, which is their biological father.
is the most ruthless emperor's family, just a throne, and a big joke.
"Crown prince, royal brother...... You ......" Liu Yun looked at her relatives who usually loved her in disbelief.
She couldn't believe it was true!
Liu Qing looked at everyone below expressionlessly, taking in their expressions and demeanors in his heart, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a touch of self-deprecation, and his mouth was full of bitter taste, although he had long expected such a thing to happen, but he didn't expect everything to come so quickly, and almost everyone stood on the opposite side of him.
On the contrary, it was the little daughter who was given up by herself, who still cared about herself from the bottom of her heart.
What he usually values the most, but he betrayed himself, but the fifth child did not betray himself, but his indifferent expression still made Emperor Liu Qing worry.
"I was wrong, wrong from the beginning." It was only at this moment that he realized how ridiculous his thoughts were, the palace was the most complicated place in the world, and the scene in front of him had already shown everything.
Liu Qing understands that if he resists today, or refuses to give way, I am afraid that what awaits him will be death!
Moreover, since they have the courage to stand up, they are afraid that they have made all the preparations, and most of the people in this palace are afraid that they have been bribed, except for Zhang Shufan, the leader of the Guards, I am afraid that there are not many people loyal to him in the entire palace, after all, after today, he is just an outdated emperor, an old man waiting for death.
For the sake of the throne, these unfilial children even did the thing of 'killing their fathers'!
From their crazy eyes, Liu Qing would never doubt this. lived for more than 50 years, and ended up like this. Liu Qing regretted not being at the beginning, but he could only accept the consequences of his own actions.
Suddenly. He seemed to be twenty years old, and he no longer had the same lofty appearance, and said in a low voice: "I, agreed." ”
Saying these words with difficulty, he felt as if his strength had been drained, and he almost fell to the ground unsteadily, but fortunately, Zhang Shufan next to him helped him, so he didn't let him look foreign, but at this time. He didn't have the heart to care about foreign appearances anymore.
In addition to pain in his heart, it is remorse, and apart from repentance, it is suffering.
The crown prince got a satisfactory answer, and immediately smiled proudly, and then said: "I am the crown prince of the empire, my father and emperor have abdicated, and I should inherit the throne, do you have any objections?" ”
Liu Yun cried and shouted, "Don't." Why do you do this, why do you treat your father like this! ”
Looking at Liu Yun's true feelings, Emperor Liu Qing felt a trace of relief and warmth in his heart, he was not a good emperor. is not a good father, but Liu Yun is really a good daughter, thinking of all the calculations she made to Liu Yun before. A wave of guilt welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but show a trace of shame on his face.
"Yun'er." Liu Qing sighed. "You don't need to say it anymore, since they want this throne." Let them fight for it. ”
"Prince, although you are the crown prince, but the imperial throne of this empire, when the virtuous person resides, which of you dares to admit that your talent and character are comparable to me?" The third prince smiled gently.
This is a typical person who has to be a bitch and has to set up a chastity workshop, and people who are not thick-skinned enough really can't say it.
The eldest princess said at this time: "Third Emperor Brother, you are wrong in what you say. ”
"That's enough, what kind of system have you become." The queen spoke at this time, "Do you really think that the empire can be your turn to call the shots? Even if the emperor gives up the throne, you are not qualified to sit in this position. You are right, the emperor is indeed old and has no energy to deal with the government, but the palace is not old yet! With this palace helping the emperor deal with the government, can't he take care of this country? These words are sonorous and powerful, and they are full of confidence.
is such a powerful queen, only now did she make a move and break the game.
The emperor smiled with relief, his beloved wife was indeed still towards him.
He was also thinking in his heart that if there was still a chance, it would be best to pass on the throne to his fourth son.
But the smile on his face soon turned into sluggishness, even deep anger!
"The prince, the third child, Lianhua, Biqiong." The queen looked at the four of them and said lightly: "Do you think that if you control Li Mao and Cheng Yu, they can do whatever they want?" Hehe, this palace might as well tell you that they are just pretending to be obedient to you and others, and it is this palace that really controls them! ”
This is the queen, a woman who has gone through more than 30 years of ups and downs with Liu Qing.
was betrayed by his son, Liu Qing was just in pain, but being betrayed by this woman, his heart was full of endless anger.
The prince and the others all looked at the queen in shock, the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, they couldn't imagine that the queen, who had never been looked at by them, quietly controlled the overall situation, this woman was terrible! Compared to her, the methods of these people are simply pediatric, and they are not worth mentioning.
"When this palace is alive, this empire should be in charge of this palace, and after the death of this palace, this empire will also fall to the biological son of this palace, how can it be your turn?" The queen sneered in her heart, "This palace can go from a courtesan step by step to today, how can it really be as simple as you imagined?" ”
"If there are many people, will you win?" The fifth prince, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and looked at the queen indifferently.
The queen was stunned, what do you mean by this?
The fifth prince's face gradually showed a hint of farewell, "If there are many people, will you really be able to win?" When he said this, the momentum on his body suddenly exploded, and the terrifying momentum made everyone present feel a huge pressure, and he glanced at the emperor with a complicated expression, "Liu Qing, you are so pitiful." How, regret it? Back then, the queen mother died depressed, did you ever care about it? ”
He took a deep breath and said, "This body of mine was given by you and the Queen Mother, and today, I will do the last thing for you." If I am lucky enough not to die, you and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on, and if I die, it can only prove that the heavens will kill you. ”
"Monarch master!" The queen exclaimed in surprise and looked at the five princes in shock. (To be continued......)
