Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tao is Not the Same and the Family Relationship Is Broken
Except for a very small number of faint monarchs and young emperors who have not yet ruled over, most emperors are worthy of the word "every day".
Emperor Longqing has always been a diligent emperor.
Since ascending the throne, he has also made considerable achievements in governing the country.
But today, he didn't read a single copy of the pile of folds that were placed in front of him.
He was waiting, waiting for news that was not comfortable for him.
But he felt that his choice was right.
"Your Majesty, do you want to pass on the food?"
For the seventh time, Maizi's father-in-law asked Emperor Longqing whether he wanted to pass the meal.
Today is the first time that Emperor Longqing has not been in the early court since he ascended the throne, and the night before, he did not have any concubines.
Moreover, this is already a matter of time.
He didn't finish the rice, he didn't drink a drop of water, he just stared at the beam in a daze, as if he wanted to cut off the beam.
"I'm not hungry."
"Maizi, you say, once you ascend the throne, you are doomed to become a loner?"
Emperor Longqing took a deep breath, lowered his head, and looked at Father-in-law Mai who was kneeling in front of the dragon book case.
He was never a heartless man.
It is precisely because of this that the emperor next to him can make a decision without hesitation, but for him, it needs to go through many struggles.
"The old slave is shallow in his studies and can't understand His Majesty's entanglement."
"But the old slave knows that the wise emperors of the past generations have called themselves widows."
Father-in-law Maizi lowered his eyebrows and did not answer Emperor Longqing's inquiry directly.
He just said "Wise Emperor", trying to comfort Emperor Longqing with this.
"I'm sorry for that girl."
"He saved my life, but I will take revenge."
Emperor Longqing took a deep breath, leaned back, and leaned on the back of the throne.
He didn't need to mention that name.
After all, in the first half of his life, there were only two people who saved his life, and one of them died of poison many years ago in order not to drag him down.
"She saved Your Majesty for the sake of the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty abandoned her, but also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty."
"The old slave thinks that there is no difference between these two things."
Emperor Longqing never avoided anything from Maizi's father-in-law.
Whether it's good, it's bad, it's even pickled and dirty.
Therefore, as soon as he heard Emperor Longqing say, I'm sorry for someone, Mai Zi's father-in-law figured out what he was waiting for without eating or drinking all day.
He doesn't know much about Liu.
I only heard that she is the concubine of the third prince Zhu Lingjun who has not passed the door, born in the Shen family of Zhouzhuang, once studied medicine under a certain immortal, and has the ability of "living dead, flesh and bones", when the eldest prince Zhu Ling rebelled, he also saved the life of Emperor Longqing.
He originally thought that when the third prince Zhu Lingjun and her wedding were completed, and he would bring the holy decree to give her a reward, he would be able to ask for favors and let her help him take a look.
The group of straw bales in the imperial hospital had already shown him all the medicines that he had poured into his stomach and poured them into the water tank, but they were not full, and they were also eight points.
But his waist hurts worse day by day, and there is no sign of relief.
However, judging from Emperor Longqing's decision today, he is afraid that he will only be accompanied by back pain in sleepless nights for the rest of his life.
"You're talking lightly."
Emperor Longqing sighed again and slowly closed his eyes.
He lived for dozens of years and never did anything to use a woman as a bargaining chip.
Even if it was Fanbang who sent an envoy to Beijing and asked for a princess and a kiss as a prerequisite for them to pay tribute, he only sternly refused, telling the other party that it was either war or surrender, the Ming Dynasty, since the founding of Emperor Gao, there has never been an emperor who has begged for peace under the woman's skirt.
Now, in order to realize the plan and completely cut off the troubles for the Ming Dynasty, he did not hesitate to push an innocent woman who had saved his life to the forefront.
Oh, how ugly, what a humiliating appearance, the rest of his life, I'm afraid, will have to live in this shadow that even he looks down on, and it will be difficult to survive......
No, perhaps, I have to add that Ling Jun hates him.
The son he had the most high hopes for.
At the same time, he is also the son who owes the most.
"If the jade is not cut, it will not be made, my son."
"It is better for you to suffer more now than in the future, when the mountains and rivers are broken and you become a prisoner of others."
Emperor Longqing muttered two sentences in a low voice, trying to relieve his depression.
However, before Emperor Longqing could think about it, the door of the imperial study was kicked open by Ling Jun.
Behind him, the guard on duty collapsed into a courtyard, and was about to get up and take him down.
"Let him in."
"You guys, go to the gate of the courtyard and keep guard."
Seeing Ling Jun rushing in angrily, Emperor Longqing, who had not yet received a reply from his subordinates, understood that the thing he planned had been completed.
He waved his hand, motioned for the guards gathered around him to stand down, and then gave Duke Mai a look.
"The old slave went to prepare refreshments."
Having served by the side of Emperor Longqing for many years, Father-in-law Maizi has long been familiar with his many habits.
At this time, seeing that Emperor Longqing gave him a look, he hurriedly agreed, walked out of the imperial study, closed the door, and dispatched those guards according to Emperor Longqing's wishes, so as to prevent them from spreading what Ling Jun had done today, so that his reputation would be damaged or he would be criticized by the ministers.
"Where is she!"
Ling Jun got straight to the point, and he didn't bother to put out a word of politeness.
He didn't bow down, not even a word of honorifics.
"At this time, it should already be on the way to Ningxia."
In the face of Ling Jun's faux pas, Emperor Longqing was not angry.
In his mind, this matter is indeed his fault, where did the person who did the wrong thing come from to have a cold face?
"Why!"
Listening to Emperor Longqing, Liu Qingxin was already on the way to Ningxia, and Ling Jun's hands instinctively clenched his fists.
He wanted to beat Emperor Longqing with a blue nose and swollen face, but he knew that he couldn't, at least, not yet.
"If you want to blame, you can only blame her for looking too much like the wife of Cheng'en's family."
"The ambition of the wolf sons, we need a reason to crusade against them."
As he spoke, Emperor Longqing turned his face to the side and did not look at Ling Jun.
Ling Jun's gaze was as hot as a flame, and he was uncomfortable.
"There are many reasons to crusade."
Ling Jun stepped forward and scoffed at the reason that Emperor Longqing said.
Fortunately, Emperor Longqing just felt that Liu Qingxin looked like Chengen's wife, instead of finding out her true identity.
This means that some things can still be turned around.
"She is the daughter of the Shen family."
"We only need to reveal that the carjacking is the work of the family, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the possibility of reconciliation between the Shen family and the family."
"It also means that from now on, if the family wants to get the support of the Shen family in trade, as long as the imperial court does not allocate food and salaries to them, they can only reduce the army."
In the face of Ling Jun's questioning, Emperor Longqing, who had been reproached by his conscience, finally couldn't help but burst out.
"Do you think I'm willing to do that!"
"How different is this from begging for peace under a woman's skirt!"
"You do things but with pleasure, you stir up the famous family of Yanjing, and there is a miasma of smoke!"
"You don't want to think about it, a woman from a half-businessman and half-Shi family can't afford it, your position as a concubine!"
Emperor Longqing's words were not so much to teach Ling Jun a lesson, but to convince himself.
He stood up, supported the dragon book case in front of him with both hands, and looked at Ling Jun across the case.
"Since ancient times, children have long love, heroes are short of breath, Jun'er, my father did this for your own good......"
In the last sentence, Emperor Longqing said that he was quite weak.
He slowly sat back on his throne, bowed his head, and braced his forehead with his hands.
"I'm sorry for that girl."
"In the next life, I will be a cow and a horse to repay her for saving her life in this life."
"If you hate me, I'm to blame, but if I were given the chance to start all over again, I would still be so decisive."
Emperor Longqing did not call himself a "me" or a "widow".
He said "I".
The implication is that he is talking to Ling Jun as an equal.
"She must be regretting it now, she saved your life that day."
Ling Jun's voice was low, like a beast trapped in a cage.
There is respect, there is fear.
From the moment he felt that Emperor Longqing was no longer worthy of his respect, he no longer felt that he had anything to fear.
"In this life, I won't marry her."
"I'll do whatever it takes to get there."
"Looking forward to my father, when you want to do something despicable, think twice before acting."
Knowing where Liu Qingxin went, Ling Jun decided not to entangle with Emperor Longqing anymore.
The account can be calculated later.
But if Liu Qingxin is trapped in Ningxia, it will be difficult for him to rescue her again.
After that, he took off the wrench on his left thumb, slapped it on the dragon book case with a "snap", turned around, and left quickly.
This wrench is the day when General Jiang sent him back to Yuwang's mansion, or the Emperor Longqing of King Yu took it off his finger and gave it to him, which can be regarded as the beginning of the family relationship between the two.
At that time, he forgave Emperor Longqing's helplessness, and since he got this wrench, he never took it off, even if, when he first received it, it was a little too big for him, and it delayed him to use the bow and crossbow.
And now, he returned this wrench, which was equivalent to telling Emperor Longqing in a way that was close to decisive, that from now on, he would have nothing to do with him, and the road would be facing the sky, and each would go his own way.
Emperor Longqing instinctively stood up, grabbed the wrench on the dragon book case with his left hand, and tried to shout Ling Jun who turned away, but he found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something thick, and he couldn't make half a sound even if he used all his strength.
A fishy sweetness filled Emperor Longqing's mouth.
He instinctively grabbed the handkerchief and covered his tongue, but the moment he took off the handkerchief, he saw a red patch on it.
Blood.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Ling Jun leaving angrily, Mai Zi's father-in-law, who hurried to comfort Emperor Longqing, witnessed this chilling scene as soon as he entered the door.
He let out a scream and rushed to Emperor Longqing's side, and before he fell to the ground, he sat him on the throne behind the dragon book.
