Plum Blossom Tribulation Chapter Seventy-Nine: I don't love imperial power, but I can't let go of memories

"Can you take a step to speak?" Qingfeng looked at Zhao Kang, who was bound, and did not feel offended at all. Qingfeng motioned to the two soldiers, and the two let go of Zhao Kang, but with a push of their hands, they knelt him in front of Qingfeng.

The autumn wind blows, and the withered leaves fly all over the sky, but just in autumn, it is so bleak.

At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly rushed out from the encirclement of the soldiers, with a pleading tone, Chu Chu was pitiful: "Although he is the emperor, he is also my most distressed child, General Ji Dan is talking to Kang'er, can you let me be my mother aside." ”

Qingfeng did not object, and the three of them came to the main hall together, the soldiers outside had already controlled the minister, and Qian Ling and Qian Ling were waiting outside the hall, with an indifferent expression.

As soon as she came to the main hall, the Empress Dowager Zhao's face changed, the sadness on her face was long gone, and she smiled brightly: "Mo Li even wants to kill his own brother?" ”

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Zhao Kang looked at his mother with a puzzled face, such a look, he had never seen it, "What brother?" Zhao Kang is not a fool, he was born in the palace, and he has seen a lot, so he said to himself: "Do you mean that my brother is my own brother?" Zhao Kang said, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, as soon as his legs were weak, he fell to the ground. Memories with Mo Li came to mind, no wonder there were so many brothers, he didn't like them, but he liked to be with Mo Li.

"This kind of thing is unspeakable for the Queen Mother, but it is the Queen Mother's reputation that is damaged." Qingfeng chuckled, his expression was unhurried, as if he had long expected that Empress Dowager Zhao would change her face.

"Qingyu?" Empress Dowager Zhao still sneered, "Now I'm afraid that my life is difficult to protect, but do you still care about this reputation?" ”

When Zhao Kang heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and walked in front of the Empress Dowager Zhao, turned his head to look at Qingfeng, his face was already full of tears: "Brother Li wants this imperial city, just take it." I also hope to release my mother from my brother. As he spoke, he knelt down to Qingfeng.

Empress Dowager Zhao hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Silly boy, you shouldn't grow up here." Holding Zhao Kang in her arms, after a long time, she closed her eyes, and two lines of tears oozed out. There was a faint pain in her heart, and her child didn't deserve this.

"The life of the Queen Mother is naturally good, and I hope that the little emperor will be counted." Qingfeng said with no expression on his face.

When the Empress Dowager Zhao heard this, she opened her eyes, looked at the breeze, and laughed with contempt: "Sure enough, what he wants is still this country!" For the sake of the country, he can even kill his own father, how can he care about a younger brother! After saying that, there was another burst of laughter.

Then he glared at Qingfeng angrily: "And you, you are also helping to abuse, I am afraid that Ji Dan Rongquan will be cold if he knows it." ”

"Since the Queen Mother and General Mo know each other, they know very well why this General Mo died and why they still believe this rumor!" Qingfeng originally had a trace of pity for Empress Dowager Zhao, but now he didn't feel it at all. "Besides, it is unknown whether Kang'er's surname is Zhao or Mo, and the Queen Mother is so careless when she speaks."

"Yes or no, I'm afraid the general has already investigated it in private, I don't know what the general means by this?" Empress Dowager Zhao had a hint of panic in her eyes, which was fleeting, and she quickly regained her composure.

Qingfeng was just smiling, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhao, it was a mockery, Qingfeng and Liwang He had not investigated, but when there were some clues, the clues were interrupted, leaving only some vague clues, and the truth could not be distinguished, and this ambiguous clue could not be fully believed in the words of the Empress Dowager Zhao.

"If it is really as the Queen Mother said, I am afraid that the position of this emperor will not be done, after all, the Zhao family has more than this child."

"When the general said it, didn't he just want to say that the emperor's position is not my son, but he can't leave it?"

"Brother Qingfeng, as long as you let go of your mother, this position will be taken by Brother Li. I didn't want to be this emperor for a long time, I don't like it at all. Zhao Kang looked at the breeze, as if pleading, and a little lonely.

"Kang'er!" Empress Dowager Zhao reprimanded loudly.

Zhao Kang looked at each other with tears in his eyes and wiped his tears for his mother: "Mother, I really don't like it here at all, I don't have freedom, I can't talk nonsense, I can't laugh, I can't have my own ideas." They could only live as they wanted, and Kang'er felt very tired. So saying, he lay down in his mother's arms.

"It's your mother who has wronged you." Empress Dowager Zhao was already in tears, and her voice was choked.

"I know that my mother also yearns for the outside world, just for the sake of her children, and has always put on a lofty posture. Kang'er loves her mother very much. Zhao Kang lay in her arms and cried even more unscrupulously.

Empress Dowager Zhao helped him up, looked at Qingfeng, and said: "He didn't do anything wrong, for the sake of the old man, I hope that Kang'er will live like an ordinary person." As he spoke, he took out a close-fitting dagger and stabbed himself.

"Mother!" Zhao Kang shouted loudly, "Brother Li won't kill us, you know, right?" "Zhao Kang has cried like a tearful man and knelt on the ground." Mother, it's Kang'er who doesn't have the ability to protect you, and Kang'er doesn't have the ability to protect you. ”

"It's for my mother, I can't take care of you." Empress Dowager Zhao looked at the breeze with a touch of distress, the pride of the past was long gone, but with a pleading: "For the sake of the old man, let Kang'er live well, this is my last request." Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Qingfeng, as if waiting for the other party's answer.

But Qingfeng was indifferent, watching Empress Dowager Zhao slowly disappear. Qingfeng knew that this was Empress Dowager Zhao exchanging her death for Zhao Kang's life. All she hopes for is the father-son relationship between Mo Li and Mo Jiang, and Mo Jiang is inextricably linked to her.

Zhao Kang sat on the ground and chattered like a distracted person, and after a while, he looked at Qingfeng again: "They all said that I was weak and incompetent, and I killed General Huang!" They are right, I killed General Huang, and now I have also killed my mother, I can't even help myself, where is the qualification to be a king! As he spoke, he got up and wiped away his tears.

Zhao Kang stood up, looked at his mother, and suddenly became indifferent, without any expression on his face: "The general's meaning Zhao Kang understands, and there is no need for the general to explain more." At this time, Zhao Kang didn't call him Brother Qingfeng anymore.

Qingfeng didn't have any expression and watched him move to the door of the hall step by step, following behind him, he wanted to say something, but after all, he still couldn't bear it, so he simply didn't say a word.

The door of the palace finally opened, but the short time was so long, although the people outside guessed in their hearts, they still looked at the emperor in front of them with anticipation, like nervousness before announcing the answer.

A leaf fell in front of Zhao Kang's feet, and the leaves that had not yet withered and yellowed withered like this, just like Zhao Kang himself, before he reached the end, he also withered like this.

Zhao Kang looked at those courtiers without any expression, and those people had already lowered their heads, all avoiding his gaze, he did not have a trace of surprise, looking at the place where he had lived since childhood, as if all the past events were emerging in his mind, looking back on the past, vividly, there was no sadness, but like unloading a stone weighing ten thousand catties.

He exhaled lightly, feeling that his whole body was much lighter, and he would never have to wronged himself like this in the future, no matter how he was disposed of, he didn't care anymore.

I once longed for the ends of the earth to see the scenery in the distance, but now my heart is even more empty.

He walked down the steps step by step, and Qingfeng stood beside him, not to stop him, but every step felt so heavy, it felt very relaxed, but why did he walk so heavy? He doesn't love this red dust, but he can't let go of the memories of the past.

Every step seems to be saying goodbye to yesterday, saying goodbye to my past self, how not to be heavy, maybe after this heaviness is infinite ease.

He took a long breath, cleared his throat and said: "Since ancient times, there have been prosperity and ruin, prosperity and decline. The decline of dynasties is this historical law. General Huang is right, the number of Great Zhao Qi has been exhausted, and now it is a pattern of three princes divided into three parts of the world. In ancient times, there was Yao Shun, with mountains and rivers as the most important, Yao Shun Zen position, and those who were virtuous won the world; After Dayu, those who have merit win the world. Now Zhao Kang has no virtue and no merit, and the Zen throne has left the king. ”

After Zhao Kang finished speaking, those courtiers were excited and whispered, but none of them came out to say no.

Zhao Kang looked at those who once bowed their heads, but now none of them dared to speak loudly, and smiled bitterly.

He walked slowly past them and walked towards the palace gate. Although I don't know where I will fall, I just drift with the wind, everything here has nothing to do with me after all.

The traces left here can be dried, but how can the relentless, never-ending strife of the palace be concealed?

Qianlu just wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Qingfeng, who shook his head and signaled him not to chase!

"I wonder what the ministers have to say?" Qingfeng chuckled, although his voice was soft, but in such a large palace, it was extremely loud.

Qian Ling and Qian Ling held their swords and looked at all the courtiers, and those soldiers were also holding swords and halberds, and with a shaking, those people stopped whispering, looked at each other, and did not dare to speak.

Suddenly, a spear rushed towards Qingfeng, cold and cold, everyone was startled, and sighed softly, and the spear was only half an arm's length away from Qingfeng, Qingfeng did not dodge, closed his eyes, and at the last moment, Qianling and Qianlu had already stepped forward and cut the spear into two parts.

I saw the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a man rode back. The inky green silk flew wantonly, glaring angrily at the breeze, and the red eyes seemed to burn.

Qian Ling and Qian Ling saw that the person on the horse was the king of Li, and hurriedly knelt down, and the soldiers around saw that their master naturally knelt down after him, but those ministers looked at each other when they saw this, and they also quickly knelt down.

I don't know who said first: "Long live my emperor!" The people around him also shouted, and the sound resounded in the sky.

King Liwang didn't seem to hear it, he still looked at Qingfeng angrily, but Qingfeng was not afraid at all, and met the eyes of Liwang, the two looked at each other, Qingfeng smiled slightly, knelt down on one knee, and looked at Liwang.

It's just what you want, even if everything you do is not easy, even if everything you do is shameless, you will take away everything that should have belonged to you a long time ago.
