Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 427: Kill decisively

 After experiencing this blow, Emperor Ming's already weak body was even worse. Emperor Ming knew that he could no longer handle political affairs, so he decided to give the throne to his biological son Li Ling.

Before Emperor Ming ascended the throne, he had already brought Li Ling and hundreds of civil and military officials to the ancestral temple to pray to heaven and worship his ancestors, so that Li Ling could recognize his ancestors and return to the ancestral clan. However, in the Jinluan Hall, as soon as Emperor Ming's decree made Li Ling the crown prince was issued, the civil and military officials still had to do it. There was an uproar.

Zhao Bi was executed for his rebellion, and the King of Jin was dead. Both the princeling party and the King of Jin party, who had been competing for many years, were both harmed. Emperor Ming unexpectedly had another son at this time, and he was also the famous Li Ling. How could those ministers who had been fighting openly and secretly for a long time be reconciled? .

Zhao Bi had no children, so after his death, the princeling parties also stopped. King Jin still had a son, so for their own benefit, the princeling party of Jin was full of intentions to establish the son of King Jin as the heir apparent.

After Li Ling's identity was made public, the King of Jin's party was ready to move to put Li Ling at a disadvantage and support the son of King Jin to ascend to power.

In the Jinluan Hall, after the imperial edict was read out, Meng Fanyong, the younger brother of Concubine Meng, who is currently the left prime minister, took the lead in protesting: "Whether Li Ling is of the Zhao family's blood is not determined by the words of the eldest princess alone. I oppose the establishment of Li Ling as the crown prince."

As soon as Meng Fanyong said this, all the ministers of the Jin royal party came out and said: "I will reconsider this."

Emperor Ming had always been weak in temperament, and his treatment of his ministers was more than kind but not prestige.

Emperor Ming's body had not yet recovered. He leaned on the dragon chair with a soft pillow and sighed: "I am the emperor, how can I still recognize my son randomly? Boyue is the daughter of my former empress Li. This is true, you Don’t doubt it anymore.”

At this moment, Li Ling was standing beside Emperor Ming. His eyebrows were straight, his face was solemn, and his whole body exuded the cold and solemn aura unique to a military commander who had been on the battlefield for many years. Looking at Emperor Ming again, apart from the fact that his eyebrows are somewhat similar to Li Ling's, his demeanor and charm are completely different.

 How do they look like father and son?

Emperor Ming's words did not put any pressure on Meng Fanyong at all. He objected again: "Your Majesty, the royal family cannot tolerate any mistakes. This matter is serious, so please think twice."

Meng Fanyong is the younger brother of Concubine Meng. Concubine Meng was only a dancer, and her family background was mediocre. This Meng Fanyong was just a peddler and a lackey. He only studied for a few years because he was favored by Concubine Meng, and relied on nepotism. Climb into phase.

Before Emperor Ming could speak, the eldest princess who was beside Emperor Ming sternly replied to Meng Fanyong: "You keep talking about the bloodline of my Zhao family, but I would like to ask you. This is the matter of my Zhao family. Since both your majesty and I have No objection, it’s not your turn to criticize someone who lives here thanks to the Meng family.”

Concubine Meng has been favored for many years. The Meng family was once very popular in the court and no one dared to provoke her. Over the years, they have developed a domineering and arrogant character.

Faced with the eldest princess's unceremonious reply, Meng Fanyong replied coldly: "Since ancient times, women have married and followed their husbands. Now that the eldest princess has surrendered, naturally she can no longer be regarded as a member of the Zhao family. If I, Meng, were not here to speak, If you have the right, then naturally it is not the eldest princess’s turn to make the final decision on major matters in the court. Besides, Li Ling is the eldest princess’s son, so the eldest princess’s behavior has to make the ministers suspicious.”

 Speaking, Meng Fanyong kowtowed to Emperor Ming and said: "I established Li Ling as the crown prince, and I was the first to refuse to accept it."

As soon as Meng Fanyong finished speaking, everyone in the Jin royal party knelt down and reconsidered: "I don't accept it either!"

The King of Jin once fought against the Crown Prince, and half of the courtiers in the court had surrendered to him. So as soon as Meng Fanyong took the lead, His Highness was among the large number of people kneeling in Ulala.

The eldest princess was so angry that she pointed at her kneeling courtiers and said, "Are you going to rebel?"

Emperor Ming sighed deeply when he saw this, and said helplessly: "I have already lost two sons. I have already made it clear that Boyue is my flesh and blood. I have also explained the twists and turns to all your ministers. Why do you need to do this again?" It’s so hard to force each other, hey! All the beloved ministers are the humerus ministers of Da Qi. It really makes me very embarrassed for you to be like this." Meng Fanyong did not back down and said: "Although your Majesty has lost two sons, the Jin Dynasty The king still has a son. In order to keep the royal bloodline pure, your majesty should appoint the son of King Jin as the crown prince. Your majesty supports Li Ling, but the ministers are not convinced."

As soon as Meng Fanyong's indignant words fell, Li Ling, who had been silent at the side, slowly walked down the imperial platform, and the eyes of the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but focus on Li Ling.

Li Ling's face was expressionless, and his steps were neither hasty nor slow, but he was tall and powerful, and his cold and solemn aura gave people a huge sense of oppression.

He walked up to the guard in front of the palace. Before the guard could recover, he quickly pulled out the sword from the guard's waist, and then walked towards Meng Fanyong with windy steps.

That silent and terrifying aura forced Meng Fanyong to retreat continuously. He was so shocked that his pupils shrank and he took in a cold breath. Before he could exclaim, Li Ling had already raised his sword.

I saw a cold light flashing through the air, and Meng Fanyong's body and head were separated. The round head, sprinkled with bright red blood, followed the sword light and rolled in a beautiful arc in the air before falling to the ground with a "plop". Get out so far.

The ministers had never seen such a **** scene of decisive killing. Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and some timid ones even fainted immediately.

Li Ling held a sharp sword stained with blood in one hand, looked at the ministers with a cold face, and said in a cold voice: "Is there anyone who refuses to accept it?"

 Look at the momentum of the world!

That unquestionable tone echoed sonorously and powerfully in the Jinluan Hall.

The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were shocked, and the hall was silent for a while.

 “If anyone is still dissatisfied, just stand up!”

Li Ling's eyes as deep as ice looked around the hall, and his voice shocked people's hearts.

Li Ling, the dignified left prime minister of the dynasty, was just about to behead him. He was so decisive in his killing. Who dared to criticize someone who didn't know whether to live or die? His knees went weak and he quickly knelt down. Then all the ministers knelt down one after another like dumplings. Overwhelming waves of people shouted long live.

Emperor Ming, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was already paralyzed by Li Ling's decisive move. He had heard the voice of "Long Live" for most of his life, but this time it was the most exciting.

Emperor Ming looked at Li Ling, who stood proudly in the center of the hall, with mixed feelings in his heart. In addition to being happy, he even couldn't believe that he would have such an outstanding son.

The eldest princess's eyes also fell on Li Ling. This royal princess, who was not inferior to men, finally saw her grandfather and her father again in the next generation of emperors of the Zhao family. They were in charge of the Zhao family with the style they deserved.

Before her death, Empress Li begged her not to let Li Ling know her identity, and she only wanted him to be safe and well. However, this descendant of the royal family, like a goshawk, was destined not to live an ordinary life like an ordinary bird. It’s about soaring to the top of the mountain.
