Chapter 383: Foregone Conclusion
As soon as the will is irreversible, then the outcome of tonight's farce can be decided.
Seeing that Chu Zikai Yu Zhao took advantage of the situation and counterattacked, he made a decision so decisively, Ling Feng was unexpected, he was stunned in disbelief, rare in his life, he felt a trace of remorse for his own impulse.
As a courtier, he was reprimanded by the monarch and reprimanded his face was small, but as soon as the only remaining military power in his hand was discharged, it seemed that the loss of momentum was irretrievable, no matter how brainless Ling Feng was, he also understood this, although he tried his best to hide the panic in his heart, but the fear in his eyes could not be completely hidden, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Concubine Ling next to him with the meaning of asking for help.
But Concubine Ling, why didn't she fall into the target of the public, none of the plans she painstakingly came up with before, none of them succeeded, but she was also uncovered by Yu Zhao's plan, she was virtuous and virtuous, and she was laughed at for being short-sighted and having the foolishness of a woman, and at this time it became a joke in the eyes of everyone, like a mud bodhisattva who is difficult to protect herself, how can she have the spare strength to cross Ling Feng across the river?
Many courtiers present who watched everything knew that Ling Feng, a young squire official, had good luck and great talent in his mother's womb, and was fortunate to be appreciated and taught by General Zhenguo, the most prestigious military general in Dachu, at a young age.
A few years later, Ling Feng fought a few battles with Chu Zikai, and he can be regarded as one of the heroes who supported the succession of the new monarch.
It is precisely because of this that Ling Feng has been flattered by a lot of flattery that does not match his qualifications, coupled with his nobody's personality in the pride of his existence that day, over the years, he has been raised to become more and more annoying, and many courtiers who deal with him have not shown it on their faces, but in fact, they have long been unaccustomed to it.
Now it's good, I finally fulfilled the proverb - often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet. As a military general, once the military power was seized, Ling Feng was like an eagle soaring in the sky, his wings were broken, even if he cultivated his skills, I am afraid he would never have a chance to play it again. Therefore, the voices of the courtiers expressing their dissatisfaction with him gradually became unscrupulous.
With the sound of critical ridicule, Ling Feng, who grew up in the praise of others since he was a child, how could he stand the current situation, listening to these many disrespectful voices towards him, the anger in his heart was stacked, and the anger surging in his chest spread to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, making his eyes burn red.
However, he also knew in his heart that this time was his own fault, and there was no reason to refute the punishment, and the frustration in his heart was greater than the anger, and this blow finally made him taste the bitter fruit of his arrogant and disproportionate behavior for the first time, and the taste was very uncomfortable, so that his throat was blocked by sourness, and he couldn't say a word.
"Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's fault, it's the concubine's ignorance, the concubine begs you to spare the concubine's brother,"
In the face of this matter, the most anxious person in her heart, Concubine Ling occupies one, she is in a high position in the harem, and the lack of favor has made her feel embarrassed, if the family power collapses again, she will not know what capital she has to win a place in this palace, so she tried to take all the fault on herself, in a vain attempt to protect the power of the Ling Mansion, and eagerly confessed:
"This matter was originally thought about by the concubine, and the concubine really knew that she was wrong, but the concubine's brother, he was loyal to the people, and he had no intention of contradicting His Majesty and Concubine Yi's sister, and asked His Majesty to deal with it lightly......"
It can be regarded as a willingness to give up his stupid ugly name, evil will be rewarded, Yu Zhao looked at Concubine Ling when she said this, the expression on her face uncontrollably showed a trace of humiliation, and she was really happy in her heart, and snorted coldly and warned:
"As a concubine, you don't have to rush to come out for the affairs of the previous dynasty, the account between the palace and you has not yet been settled!"
What is referred to in the words, others are too incomprehensible, but the two of them are like mirrors, Concubine Ling will come here, her breath is stagnant, she instantly stopped crying, and looked up at Yu Zhao in shock.
Although he intended to save some face for Concubine Ling, Yu Zhao definitely didn't want to leave her a chance to make a mess again, and after saying this ambiguous warning as usual, he immediately covered his chest and made a feeling of discomfort, and turned his head to Zhuo Yao and ordered:
"Pass the imperial doctor into the Chaohui Palace, and then you go and gather the imperial chefs in the Kyushu Tai dining room to give a lecture, the palace has just been bored by that salty food, and has to tell them a few more words of likes and dislikes, lest there will be such unappetizing things in the future."
"Yes, the slave understands," Zhuo Yao answered the order, but his footsteps did not move, and he said in secret with Yu Zhao tacitly:
"That group of minions really deserves to be punished, the mother doesn't like to eat with heavy taste, everyone in the dining room knows it, but today they did such a trivial thing for no reason, they should really bring it and ask why they are so careless."
Going around and around, she went around to the starting point of tonight's incident - on the table of overly oily and salty meals in front of Yu Zhao, it was originally planned by Concubine Ling, she naturally knew what was wrong with it, and after listening to Yu Zhao and Zhuo Yao's hints, she was even more sure that the matter had been completely revealed, and sat on the ground with a pale face, not knowing how to deal with the questions she was about to face.
Watching the development of things, Chu Zikai cooperated with Yu Zhao to play sloppy, and waved his hand at everyone in the hall at will: "Concubine Yi is unwell, I think she was angry with these filthy things today, so let's disperse, as for Ling Feng, I think that the crime he committed is unforgivable, and the punishment is still the same, if you have any objections, we will talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers are retiring." Judging the situation is a necessary cultivation for the courtiers, and they also know the truth that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and when he heard that Chu Zikai intended to let people go, he hurriedly chose to bow and leave, so that he could stay away from this place.
A group of courtiers and courtiers were respectful, ready to retreat outside the hall, but Li Lao Taijun, after saluting, walked in the direction of Yu Zhao with a dragon crutch, while everyone was still there, she slowly squatted down with kind eyes, shook the phoenix crown on Yu Zhao's table, and re-tied it with her.
"Niangniang's body of the lucky star, with the glow of this national color, is to reflect the prosperity of Dachu, how can it be easily covered by those unflowing dust, the courtiers at this time, please Niangniang, for my Dachu to receive blessings, may my Dachu be blessed, God bless the future."
Seeing this, Chu Zikai also immediately got up, walked to Yu Zhao's seat, stood up with her, stood side by side, and thanked Mrs. Li together.
The ministers just wanted to raise their steps, but they paused because of the movement of the upper seat, and they all raised their eyes to look at the pair of extremely matching figures standing on the upper side, thought about it again and again, and knelt down in front of the two of them, and then offered a word of congratulations to the words that Mrs. Li had just said:
"May the great Chu be blessed far-reaching, and God bless the future."
——————
Worshiped by the ministers with the king, Yu Zhao was stunned and looked at the group of people who bowed down at her feet, feeling a little unnatural, but she and Chu Zikai interlocked their fingers, and gradually felt the peace of mind transmitted from the temperature of his palm, and felt calm again, and his heart was completely let go in an instant, and he was no longer afraid that he was the one who was not qualified to stand in front of him.
