Chapter 517: Self-preservation
Jin Ling and Qi Huan heard the news of King Lu's death on the way back to Linzi.
"King Lu didn't even have a funeral, and he was hurriedly buried next to the general's tomb." The informant replied in a low voice, "There are hundreds of relatives and entourage of King Lu who died with King Lu. Your Majesty means that these people take care of King Lu and are not punished for burial! ”
"Are you sure?" Jin Ling couldn't believe her ears.
King Lu is actually dead?
She hasn't even been to King Lu's palace yet. Or is it that everything in her dreams is inherently illusory? It's just a dream.
"Sure!" The informant said, "Your Majesty has issued an order to posthumously crown King Lu as King Lu Xiao." Princess Lu and other wives were all buried, leaving only an infant child to inherit the throne of King Lu. The child was also sent to the palace to be taught by the Empress Dowager herself. ”
"This ......." Jin Ling couldn't help but glance at Qi Huan, "This Xia Chengyou is also too ......."
"That's it!" Qi Huan shook Jin Ling's hand, "Lu Ziying has a heart of disobedience, and His Majesty has long suspected King Lu." When he was ordered to go to Beijing to take care of the funeral, he had murderous intentions. After dragging on for so long, it must be to get King Lu's wife, children, and children over to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
"Is it because we ......" Jin Ling only felt her brain buzzing, "because we said that Long Jinfeng is likely to rely on King Lu's people to act......."
"Even if we don't say it, Your Majesty can think of it."
"There are many children of King Lu...... Jin Ling couldn't help but glance at Tian Fei sitting in the corner, Tian Fei once said that there are many women in Queen Lu's harem, and there are even more children, "Why is there only one left......
"Your Majesty is poisoning this way." An Xian sighed, "But if it weren't for that, King Lu's men would be ready to move by uniting Long Jinfeng and the ghost doctor." If they want to release poison, then Your Majesty will strike first. ”
"yes!" Li Yanqiu also sighed, "I think back then, when the Sima clan killed the monarch and seized the country, it wasn't that the bloodline of Great Xia was completely killed. Even the princes and princes of the side branch did not even let go of cats and dogs. It's just that the child's innocence is just a bad fate. ”
"I've killed them before....... Those ministers, they are not related to their relatives, they have all killed......." Jin Ling only felt sick to his stomach for a while, is it really good that Xia Chengyou is sitting on the emperor and killing innocents so indiscriminately.
"There's no way!" King Qi saw that Jin Ling's face was not good, so he took her into his arms, "Sometimes killing people is also to save people." It is also a good thing that His Majesty killed King Lu by thunder and eliminated the thoughts of some people. Better a finger off than always aching. Besides, what he said to the outside world was that he died of illness, and he still retained the throne of King Lu, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the world. ”
"That's right!" An Xian also bowed slightly, "Your Majesty is not wrong in doing this. ”
Jin Ling shook his head: "If one day, he wants to kill us!" ”
"We can protect ourselves!" Qi Huan held Jin Ling's hand tightly, "The reason why King Lu was killed was because his subordinates had no military power and were placed under house arrest again, and he always thought that the emperor would not kill him." We're different, we're always on the lookout. If the emperor wants to kill us, he won't be so easy to get it. ”
Almost at the same time, Liang Wang Guangzhen also took Guangyu to Su Qin's study.
"Lu Hanxiong is dead!" Su Qin said in a deep voice the news from the informant, "Although this is a matter of time, it is indeed a bit vicious for Your Majesty to let so many people accompany the funeral. This little emperor is really more powerful than we thought. ”
"Our people haven't arrived yet!" Su Yue was a little weak-hearted, "I heard that the emperor has been staying in the Youlan Palace recently, and our Rong'er has been completely left out in the cold. If Rong'er makes a move, will the emperor ........?"
"What are you afraid of!" Su Qin's eyes grew cold, "The more he kills innocents like this, the better it will be for us!" How much popular support can a tyrant who kills innocents indiscriminately? ”
"Father!" Su Yue's face was full of anxiety and said, "It's better to let Rong'er do it later......
"How late?" Su Qin roared, "Wait until Lu Lanzhi is crowned queen?" Now she can't move her hands and feet, and when she becomes the queen, do you think Rong'er still has room to fight back? ”
"But ......" Su Yue wanted to say that the emperor is so powerful, if he is discovered, it is likely to be a catastrophe for them.
"Are you scared?" Su Qin squinted at his son, "We are not King Lu!" Don't forget, we have soldiers! He is so thirsty for killing, King Qi's side must also be on guard, we just need to join forces with King Qi and there is no need to be afraid! ”
"But Rong'er is in the palace." Su Yue's lips trembled a little, "In case one day, she is also said to have died of illness.......
"Shut up!" Su Qin shouted, "No! Rong'er is a concubine, and there are us behind her! The emperor won't touch her! Besides, it's hard to say whether you can pass the level of Dragon Jinfeng. Didn't the emperor issue a secret decree! Investigate the fireworks, incense and candles, but don't forget that the plague in Wu is spread by water. No matter how powerful that ghost doctor is, he can't blend fire and water. I always felt that they would definitely give the emperor the most unexpected poison tricks. ”
Guangzhen sighed: "Your Majesty's secret decree said that you must strengthen your precautions everywhere. It is not impossible for Long Jinfeng to deal with us. ”
"Whether it's possible or not, we're always on guard. This time, the emperor quickly executed, King Lu, those people behind the scenes will definitely be affected. Their plans are also likely to change. But don't be afraid, we just need to be prepared. ”
"King Qi and Jin Ling have already set off for Linzi!" Guang Yu said on the side, "I want to go to Linzi like Chang Yun." There are some things I want to say to Qi Huan in person. ”
"You're going to Qi Palace?" Su Qin hurriedly looked at Guangyu, "Are you going to Qi Palace at this time?" 、”
"Yes!" Guangyu nodded, "We just want to tell the emperor that if he dares to touch us, we will join forces with Qi Huan!" In this way, Sister Rong is safe. ”
"What do you think?" Su Qin looked at Guangzhen.
"Yu'er can go if she wants to!" Guangzhen sighed, "It's okay to say it in person." King Lu's death, King Chu must also be frightened. It's better to call the king of Chu as ......"
"It's too obvious." Su Changyun hurriedly said, "Why does my nephew think that the current form is like the situation of the Five Nations Alliance back then?" ”
"yes!" Su Qin let out a long sigh, "This alone means that this emperor will not last long." ”
"With Empress Dowager Xia here, Jin Ling won't agree." Guang Zhen shook his head, "These days, Jin Ling and Qi Huan are running around because of the matter of Long Jinfeng. Your Majesty killed King Lu, and they will definitely be chilled. It's not time for them to deal with the emperor. ”
"Then protect yourself!" Guang Yu continued, "We just need to advance and retreat together with King Qi." ”
