Chapter 225: The Change of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony
Seeing that this sword was coming straight to his neck, Zhao Chengque had no power to backhand, but he didn't know where to rush out of a figure, and resolutely blocked in front of Zhao Chengque, blocking the fatal blow for him.
Suddenly, blood splattered all over the ground.
"Ah Jing?"
Zhao Chengque suddenly realized that it was Ah Jing who helped him block this sword.
"The forbidden army listens to orders...... Kill him! The corners of Ah Jing's mouth continued to overflow with bright red blood, and the words he spit out were weak but unusually clear.
Ah Jing held the talisman in his hand, his fingers turned white, and he laboriously stuffed the talisman to Zhao Chengque.
Zhao Chengque took the talisman and ordered: "The forbidden army obeys the order and kills him!" ”
Seeing that Luo Sha was about to escape, the forbidden soldiers were numerous, and quickly surrounded Luo Sha, and the swords collided in an instant, and the scene was chaotic.
"Ah Jing, you ...... Why are you ......" Zhao Chengque's hands were stained red with blood, and Ah Jing was stabbed in the vital point, and there was no cure.
"Shizi, Ah Jing's life was saved by Shizi, and now it will be returned to Shizi...... Ah Jing has done a lot of wrong things, and I hope Shizi will forgive him...... Ah Jing can finally be herself......"
Ah Jing seemed to be relieved, and finally lost his breath in Zhao Chengque's arms.
--
The field was silent, silently waiting for Zhao Chengxi to speak.
"I ...... I, Zhao Chengxi, am indeed a daughter, and I do hide something from Emperor Wan Kang and the people of the world, and I am here to apologize to the emperor and the queen of heaven, to the ancestors and ancestors, and to the people of the world! ”
Zhao Chengxi bowed his head to the ground and bowed three times.
"I have been on the throne for more than three years, and I have been in power for less than a year, and I keep the teachings of Emperor Wan Kangdi in mind every day, and I ask myself to be diligent in government and love the people, and I have a clear conscience! According to what Qin Tianjian said, my succession to the throne was not right, and the people of the world wanted me to abdicate, but I, Zhao Chengxi, did not dare not retreat! ”
"However, the successor should not be the king of Yue who forms a party for personal gain, disturbs the court, colludes with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and regards human life as a mustard!"
There was a lot of discussion on the field, and Zhao Zhangmou sneered, as if he had expected Zhao Chengxi's words, Zhao Chengxi was stubborn and stubborn, how could he be obedient.
Zhao Zhangmou said calmly: "Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty is high and the imperial power is in your hands, if this king does not unite with the courtiers, how can he put things right? As for collusion with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there is no evidence, and Your Majesty must not spew blood. During His Majesty's reign, he has indeed made remarkable achievements and is obvious to all. However, this king is not inferior to His Majesty in temperament and talent, and he has decades of experience more than His Majesty, and I believe that this King will not do worse than His Majesty in governing the country. This king hereby promises that he will be diligent in government and pro-virtuous, and protect the four seas of Tangling, Your Majesty can rest assured that he will abdicate, right? ”
Zhao Zhangmou was word-by-word, orderly and clear, and actually refuted Zhao Chengxi speechless.
Zhao Zhangmou and his faction observed words and expressions, and did not kneel at this time, let alone when.
"Weichen begs His Majesty to abdicate!"
Zhao Chengxi was stunned and couldn't deal with it for a while.
"King Yue is really able to speak well, and his tongue is full of lotus, no wonder he can persuade the prince of Northern Wednesday to send troops to contain the protector army to stay at the border. I don't know what King Yue promised him in return? Are there three cities? Or five-seater? Or even half of Tanglin? ”
This familiar voice entered his ears, and Zhao Chengxi's heart finally settled down.
Qin Chongzhou, who was originally hiding in the corner, had already removed his disguise and walked out calmly.
"It turned out to be the Marquis of the Protector." Zhao Zhang's face was unwavering, "Isn't Master Hou supposed to defend against the enemy in North Mirror City?" At this time, is it difficult to return to Jingling to abandon the people of Beijing City? ”
"It is the Protector Army who protects Tanglin, not Benhou alone. Even if Ben Hou is not there, the Protector Army can still hold the North Mirror City. ”
Everyone unconsciously let their debut, and no one dared to stop it, Qin Chongzhou slowly walked to Zhao Chengxi's side and interlocked his fingers.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhangmou asked: "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and it seems that Hou Ye will not escape this law." Could it be that the Protector of the Kingdom wants to abandon the people and abandon Tanglin for the sake of His Majesty? ”
"King Yue really reverses black and white. His Majesty and the people, and Tanglin are one, and this Marquis has always stood on His Majesty's side, but he will not be in the same stream with the rebellious ministers and thieves. ”
"Lord Hou keeps saying that this king is a chaotic minister and thief, and that this king colluded with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is there any evidence?" Zhao Zhangmou just expected that Qin Chongzhou and they would dare to be so arrogant without evidence.
"Evidence? Ben Hou's words are proof. Qin Chongzhou stood tall, and his words were sonorous and loud, "Ben Hou was born in the Hou Mansion of the Protector of the Country, and fought against the Northern Zhou Dynasty for many years, and the Hou of Ben swore that the Hou Mansion of the Protector of the Country had made for the achievements of Tanglin for generations, and I Qin Chongzhou only recognized His Majesty as the lord of Dongling, and the collusion of the King of Yue with the Northern Zhou Dynasty is a fact that cannot be argued!" If what is said is false, the sky will thunder and thunder, and you will not die well! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the field was moved.
The Protector Mansion has shed blood for Tanglin for generations, and has a very high prestige in the hearts of the people. In addition, Qin Chongzhou has great military achievements and is upright, so he swears so much, even if there is no evidence, but who is right and which is wrong, he has already made a judgment in his heart.
Zhao Zhangmou's face sank, he didn't expect that he would lose to Zi Xu's oath.
It seems that he still underestimated Qin Chongzhou's popularity.
"It's ridiculous. If the oath is useful, does it need evidence to solve the case? Your Majesty, Lord Hou, the matter has come to this, why bother? ”
Zhao Zhangmou raised his right hand, as if he wanted to give an order.
"Wait! Here's the proof! ”
A man walked out of the crowd, his face covered by a turban, and his face could not be seen clearly.
"Who are you?" Zhao Zhangmou frowned, where did this kill Cheng Biting Jin.
The person who came threw the turban and revealed his true face: "I am Yu Chenghuai, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty." ”
Yu Chenghuai hurried and hurried, and finally arrived in Jingling City early this morning, without delay, originally with a gloating mentality, planning to hide in the crowd to watch the play for a long time, and only had to show up at a critical juncture.
"Since you are the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, what is the matter with coming to Jingling City? Come on, arrest first! Zhao Zhangmou gave an order.
Yu Chenghuai dodged and jumped two steps away: "Wait! The two armies are fighting, and they don't come to make it! Aren't you Tanglin a country of etiquette? King Yue is so anxious to arrest me, is his heart weak? ”
"Your true identity has not yet been confirmed, why is this king weak-hearted?"
Although Qin Chongzhou didn't know why Yu Chenghuai appeared, he also guessed that he was here to help, and said in a loud voice: "Ben Hou can testify that he is indeed General Yu Chenghuai of the Northern Zhou Dynasty." ”
Zhao Zhangmou seized the opportunity: "Hou Ye and this person seem to be quite familiar, recently it has been rumored that Hou Ye has a great relationship with the prince who has been missing for many years in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so it is not this king who wants to collude with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the protector of the country." ”
There was an uproar, how could the Protector of the Kingdom collude with the Northern Zhou?
"Nonsense! Benhou ......"
Qin Chongzhou's face was cold, and he was about to refute it, but he was interrupted by Yu Chenghuai: "Lord Yue is right!" The general did know the marquis of your country, and the prince of our country did have a very close relationship with the marquis, not only with the marquis, but also with the prince and your majesty. Speaking of which, there is also a letter from our crown prince to your majesty......"
