Chapter 221: Let Go and Forgive the Hat King (31)
Lin Du quickly denied it: "Of course not. Lord Wang, you are just doing what you have been trying to do for many years, for the sake of your mother and King Qi, do something. How can this be despicable? ”
"I have no right to say anything about the means you choose." She still reminded Chu Mo: "But don't hurt innocent people." ”
Chu Xi is innocent, even though his father has done many things wrong, he has not directly harmed Chu Mo and others, he is innocent.
Chu Mo is also innocent, just because of his background, he has suffered a lot of suffering and torture, he has lost his mother since he was a child, and he is not happy for his father, how innocent.
The royal family is ruthless, and fratricidal cannibalism is commonplace.
Lin Du hopes that no matter how it ends, they can let each other go.
The day of Chu Mo's accession to the throne is getting closer and closer.
Although Chu Xi and the ministers questioned Chu Mo in the court, they did not have any evidence in their hands, and once they acted rashly, they were likely to be labeled as "rebels".
In this way, Chu Mo ascended the throne.
After the tedious enthronement ceremony, Chu Mo went to court, he finally stood at the peak of power, stood in a supreme position, the world was subjugated at his feet, and no one would be able to take away his things casually.
Chu Xi stood there, insisting on refusing to kneel.
It was King Zhou who dragged him and asked him to forbear.
The first thing Chu Mo did when he ascended the throne was not to be crowned the queen, nor to reward the ministers who supported him.
Rather, it was to correct the name of his mother and the king of Qi.
The eunuch began to proclaim the decree, and he first posthumously crowned his mother the queen mother.
Although the ministers felt that Chu Mo's biological mother was a dancer of different races, her status was low, and she should not be named the queen mother, but after all, she was Chu Mo's biological mother, and she had already passed away, so there was no need for everyone to hold on to it and make Chu Mo angry.
The second will is to rehabilitate the king of Qi and return his deprived title to him.
Chu Xi was the first to disagree to this will, "Your Majesty, are you saying that your father created an unjust, false and wrongful case back then?" I know that King Qi and you are like father and son, but rebellion is rebellion, please don't show favoritism. ”
"I have thoroughly investigated, King Qi did not rebel back then, and the evidence is here. Are you accusing me now? King An should not be open-mouthed. Chu Mo sat on the dragon chair, changing from the gentle and heroic Confucianism of the past, but was majestic.
"This king does not agree! Father will never frame his brother! Chu Xi was angry, so he brought out the stinky temper from before.
But at that time, Emperor Chen favored him, but now it is different.
Chu Mo slapped the table: "King An, pay attention to your words, you should bow down to me." ”
"This king ......" Chu Xi still had to argue, and King Zhou coughed twice at the right time.
Chu Xi changed his tone at this time: "It's a minister's rudeness." I also hope that His Majesty's brigadier ministers will thoroughly investigate again and find out the truth. ”
"I've found out the truth." Chu Mo didn't give Chu Xi a chance to refute at all, "You don't joke, since I have made an order, I should follow it." ”
In this way, the King of Qi also restored his reputation.
That night, Chu Xi dismissed the palace people and sat alone on the stone steps of the palace gate of Lin Dui, looking at the moon.
He likes to look at the moon, as if looking at the moon can go back to when he was a child.
Lin Du sat beside Chu Mo with a jar of wine, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you got what you wanted." ”
Chu Mo took the jar of wine, opened it and took a sip directly from the jar, "But why don't I have the pleasure of revenge?" ”
"Emperor Chen died, I also became the emperor, my mother was posthumously crowned the queen mother, and the king of Qi restored his reputation." Chu Mo counted the knots in his heart one by one, "I thought that if I did all this, I would be happy." But why am I still unhappy? The Ninety-Five Supreme is nothing more than that. I decided to get all the things in this world, but I couldn't let my mother and King Qi live. ”
"Your Majesty, you have done well enough. You now have the ability to protect the people you care about, and your mother and Qi Wang Jiuquan will know and be happy for you. The more Lin Duan spoke, the more he felt that his language was pale and weak, so he simply shut up. She can't erase the pain of losing a mother.
Watching his mother die tragically in front of him was a devastating blow to the child.
Maybe for the rest of his life, Chu Mo won't be able to get out.
"Tingyi, what if...... If ......" Chu Mo hesitated, "what if...... I'll make a move on Chu Xi, you...... What will you do? ”
Finally, he still got to the place that Lin Du feared the most, no emperor would keep a capable brother who wanted to replace him anytime and anywhere.
"I know there are things you have to do, because if you don't, you're going to ruin. But I still hope that you can spare Chu Xi's life and don't rush to kill everything. Lin Du looked at the night sky, and the moon in the palace walls seemed to be stained with blood.
She sighed and added, "I'm not interceding for Chu Xi, I just don't want you to be more and more unhappy." If you have too much innocent blood on your hands, you will not be happy for the rest of your life. ”
"I know." Chu Mo took another big sip of wine, then stood up and went in the direction of the imperial study.
Lin Du knew that he had already made up his own mind.
The next day, Chu Xi was imprisoned for the crime of rebellion.
Lin Du didn't expect it to be so soon.
She guessed that it was the Shadow Gate that handed Chu Mo the knife.
Next, it was time for the Shadow Gate and Chu Mo to compete.
Rue Xiang knew the news of Chu Xi's imprisonment, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "Miss, what should I do?" Why don't you go and beg Your Majesty? Your Majesty loves you so much, you will definitely listen to it. Besides, King An is also his younger brother, how could His Majesty be so ruthless and actually say that he was rebellious. ”
"Do you like King An?" Lin Du didn't understand, how Rue Xiang jumped three feet high as soon as she ran into Chu Xi's matter.
Rue Xiang blushed and avoided Lin Dui's gaze, "Miss, the slave is worried about you." ”
"Really?" Lin Du understood why Lu Tingyi acted like that in the original plot, and it was inseparable from Ruxiang's pouting.
Lu Tingyi is a fairy sister, she is not so sensitive to many things, and she doesn't care about those power dumps. That's why she praised Chu Mo's beautiful eyes without any guilt, and Rue Xiang took advantage of this to brainwash Lu Tingyi with more fuel and vinegar.
Rue Xiang hurriedly made a stand: "Miss, the slave is loyal to you. ”
Lin Du said deliberately: "Then you should know that we and Your Majesty share honor and disgrace, since Your Majesty said that King An is guilty, King An is guilty." Don't let me hear those words a second time. ”
"Yes." Rue Xiang was afraid that she would be punished again, so she reluctantly retreated.
Seeing her retreat, Lin Du couldn't help but feel that the male protagonist was so charming, and the two maids around him liked him wholeheartedly.
In the past few days in the palace, the life has been quite peaceful, no matter how troublesome the previous dynasty was, Lin Du should eat and drink, and the days are very moist.
