Chapter 245: Breaking Branches (37)
On the top of the main hall, two people stood facing each other, one of them had a sad look on his face, and the person opposite him, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at the person opposite as if he was looking at a father killer.
"Brother Huang, although my father's decision also surprised me very much, but this is my father's decision after all, although I am also a little sorry, but ...... The royal brother's trip is indeed inappropriate. ”
After hearing this, Ling Xirui became even more angry, his sword was already out of its sheath, pointed straight at the person opposite, and said coldly: "What kind of tricks have you used to confuse the people!" No, you must have secretly done something behind your back and tampered with the edict, which is really bold. ”
The more he spoke, the more he felt that everything he said was true, and his eyes flashed with a look of madness, and he even became more and more crazy.
Ling Xi looked around and yelled at the ministers who were standing on the side trembling at his guards, and the group of ministers who were trembling and almost kneeling: "What are you still doing, why don't you quickly pull this person down and put him in the prison, maybe my father was framed by this person, do you want him to die without turning a blind eye?!" ”
Hearing this, Ling Xizhen's face instantly became frightened, and he waved his hand again and again: "How could I do such a rebellious thing." ”
"That's what I said," a majestic female voice sounded, and the Queen Mother took a sip of the tea in her mouth, her eyes swept around, and finally landed on Ling Xirui's body, her eyes full of disappointment.
"Rui'er, you've disappointed me so much, do you know what you're doing now?"
Looking at the regretful expression on the Queen Mother's face, Ling Xirui's whole person was in disbelief, looking at that familiar and unfamiliar face, his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Imperial Grandmother, you ......" Ling Xirui choked up, "Just now you said in person, I am not the emperor appointed by my father, you lied to me about all this, right?" ”
The Queen Mother didn't answer immediately, but closed her eyes tiredly, and sighed: "Rui'er, you are too ignorant, you are doing this today, embarrassing the imperial grandmother, you ...... Do you even suspect the Imperial Grandmother? ”
Ling Xirui gritted his teeth, but the sword in his hand did not put it down, because he knew that although this Ling Xizhen was stupid and sweet on the surface, all the methods in his back were all done by him, but his mind was too deep, so deep that he couldn't even grasp it, and there was not a trace of evidence in his hand to prove that he had done it.
These dumb losers can only eat like this, but today is different, the king is defeated to this point, once he fails this time, he is weak and surrenders, and he will die without a place to bury.
"I don't believe it, my father trusts me the most, and he won't do this to me, then the holy decree must be fake."
Ling Xi really almost laughed out loud, but because of his weak and good brother image, he still dutifully made a perfect persuasion face: "Brother, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe the imperial grandmother, you can't say that the imperial grandmother deceived you, right?" ”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on the Queen Mother, and I saw this delicate woman wipe the tea stains on the corners of her mouth very calmly, as if this tense atmosphere would not affect him at all.
After a long time, she spoke under the gaze: "That's right, it was my decree, and this is indeed Your Majesty's command." Like all of you, I was amazed at how His Majesty could have changed his words so hastily at the bedside, but His Majesty had shown me some evidence, and it was in this room, so that you could come with me to see it. ”
After hearing this, Ling Xirui was like being struck by lightning, and his whole person stood in place in a daze, unable to move. His figure staggered, and was held up by a faithful subordinate behind him.
"Your Highness, be careful."
At this time, more people's eyes have been attracted by some of the brochures that the Queen Mother got from the table, and after Tan spread out, the surrounding discussions became louder - corruption, bribery, robbery of people's daughters, and many impeachment excerpts, all of which were written about the prince's various crimes.
"This ...... This is indeed indecent! The prime minister first stroked his beard and spoke, his eyes fell on the Queen Mother, and he became extremely determined. He made a sad look, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made such a chilling act, it is really not the work of a wise monarch, no wonder Your Majesty would make such a decision, it is really a wise move by Your Majesty." Perhaps, maybe His Majesty's troops are also because of these ......"
"You talk nonsense!" Ling Xirui couldn't hold back, and retorted sharply, "You are using the topic to play, trying to deduct my hat, obviously I haven't done these things, you are all framing me." ”
The Queen Mother wiped her tears, and her tone was sad: "Originally, I didn't believe it, but His Majesty said that he found evidence, and I had to believe it......"
As she spoke, her gaze skimmed over the screen, and in that place, a weak figure slowly walked out.
"It's true, these are all I found from the study of His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't bear to let such a human-faced and beast-hearted person inherit the unification, I just hope that a country can have a Ming monarch." Her eyes were weak, with a watery light, and coupled with her thin figure, she looked so pitiful.
After seeing this woman, Ling Xirui's eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief.
"Ruorui ......" 120
Xi Ruorui lowered her head, not daring to look at the person in front of her, she cowered and hid to the side, looking like she was really threatened.
At this time, Ling Xirui didn't know what was going on - these people were all colluding!
His gaze was sad, as if he had lost the whole world, and he looked at the people around him like a leopard with its fangs removed.
"Why, why did you do this to me!" His eyes were red, and he was obviously mad, and now he couldn't calm down, and he slashed forward with his sword.
"You all go to die, I am the real emperor, you are all here to collude and want to harm me!"
The woman's screams were raised, and all the graceful concubines in the past scurried up. Xi Ruorui was not in a hurry to dodge, tripped over the heavy skirt on his body, and fell to the ground. At this time, Ling Xirui, who was the first to come at her, had already killed the red-eyed Ling Xirui, who had already come to the front.
As soon as Xi Ruorui wanted to open her mouth to shout, she felt the position of her chest light up, and a dull pain instantly swept through her body, making her entire body tremble.
Looking at the blood stained red, Ling Xirui laughed out loud, but the sadness in his eyes could not be resolved.
"In my life, after all, I was wrong, I saw the wrong person, and I recognized the wrong person."
However, in the next second, the laughter stopped abruptly, Ling Xirui was like an old machine that had been carried, his body stiffened, his eyes widened in disbelief, and the sword in his hand finally fell to the ground with drag. And in his chest, there was a flying sword, and the blood fell to the ground drop by drop down his body, leaving a small puddle on the ground.
There was silence for a second, and they were quickly stopped by a pile of ironclad guards who walked in.
"Wang ...... Wang Ye, it's Ning Wang Ye! ”
Ling Xiqian walked in amid the shocked gaze of everyone, his sharp gaze scanned the surroundings, and finally stopped at the corpse that had fallen to the ground without even closing his eyes.
"The rebels and thieves are dead." His cold voice made people shudder, and everyone didn't dare to say anything, only nodding and blowing rainbow farts.
"The name of the prince."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your help." ”
And with this voice, those iron-clad guards quickly subdued the leaderless prince guards, and were taken down by Ling Xiqian's order, and the surrounding noise regained a short period of calm, but these people were forced by the decisive momentum of the sofa of Prince Ning, and they didn't dare to speak even more.
Seeing that the people surrounding the palace had changed again, it was still even more difficult to provoke, and the Queen Mother's face became even more ugly. However, after looking at her pale son on the side, she still gritted her teeth and took the initiative to step forward.
"Lord Wang, after all, this is the prince of the dynasty, is it a little inappropriate for the prince to do this."
Ling Xiqian glanced at her with a smile, and under that empty gaze, he said in a deep voice: "There is nothing wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been given a heart-devouring curse, if it is not solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that the palace will be washed in blood, and the minister is also to protect the safety of others, so he has to make such a decision, presumably my aunt will not blame, right?" ”
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and could only swallow the other words into her throat.
She stroked the heavy ornaments on her head, trying to make her appearance as flawless as possible. She raised her head, like a proud peacock, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and after three days, the third prince Ling Xizhen will inherit the Yan country." ”
"Wait." Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted. The Queen Mother glared and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and found that Ling Xiqian raised his hand and made a stop movement, his eyes were very serious, and there was no panicked look of deliberately interrupting at all.
The Queen Mother's heart sank, and her hands gradually tightened - sure enough, this son of a scumbag would not let his plan go well.
She forcibly tugged the corners of her mouth, and pretended to be majestic: "What do you mean by this, do you still have any doubts about the emperor's decision?" ”
"Don't dare," Ling Xiqian arched his hand, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon, almost repelling all the mental defenses of the people in front of him.
He smiled and said, "I will never have any doubts about Your Majesty's decision, but what if someone falsely transmits Your Majesty's message?" ”
