When Zhan Changfeng saw the scene in the Jinglun Hall, he looked unmoved and saluted, "See my father."
He lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "Is Father okay?"
Emperor Qian Jing laughed and said, "It's all right. Your Majesty, you've been working hard on your journey these days. Father, I'd like to give you a toast."
Mrs. Rong raised her slender hand to pour a glass of wine, stood up gracefully and handed it to Zhan Changfeng, smiling at Yanyan, "Your Highness, you can use it yourself, or..."
She turned her back to Emperor Jing, her eyes were haunting, like a demon mumbling to herself, and she whispered, "I'll feed you."
Zhan Changfeng rolled his eyes at her coldly, blocked the wine glass with his hand, looked at Emperor Jing and said, "If nothing happens to my father, I will go back to Qingzhou."
"Why are you so anxious, Your Majesty?" Emperor Jing straightened his sleeves, "Isn't there Old General Yang at the border?"
There was a clang of mail as they ran, but the Jinglun Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Guards in one breath, and the cold light-dotted spear points were pointed directly at Prince Daqian.
Zhan Changfeng was about to pull out the soft sword from his waist, but was surprised to realize that he had no inner strength. Emperor Jing's eyes were heavy, "Your Majesty, please don't waste your efforts. Li Ge's poison is colorless and tasteless. It melts into the spices and has been burned here for long enough. It has entered the skin of your mouth and nose.”
"Why?"
Zhan Changfeng stood there, tall and strong, with a calm expression, as if he was asking an ordinary question.
Emperor Qian Jing had to admit that he liked this daughter very much. She had the strength and character to be an emperor.
It's a pity that she is his sword to unify Daqian. Now that the situation is under control, it's time for the sword to be sheathed.
"Do you know who the lieutenant will be?"
Zhan Changfeng pursed his lips and heard Emperor Jing continue, "That is Gu's only son, and he will be the future prince."
These words were so cruel, like a light full of malice, penetrating through the confusion that she didn't care about before. Only now did she realize that she had been denied since birth.
The royal family of Daqian had few heirs, and they were passed down alone for several generations. Although Emperor Jing was a promiscuous and immoral man, he only gave birth to her child in his late middle age. When she was born, her gender was concealed by a shark gauze and she was made a crown prince.
Zhan Changfeng never doubted that Emperor Jing would attack her, nor was he afraid of his great achievements, because she was his only descendant, because she was the true royal orthodoxy, and stood behind her the faith of the forty-first emperor.
"The prince died suddenly from overwork, what do you think?" Emperor Qian Jing waved his hand, and the imperial guards stabbed her with their guns, as if they were going to dig her into a hornet's nest. The snow outside the door poured in like the light of swords. In an instant, several spears flew away.
She was at the end of her rope, and the last blow consumed all her strength. The soldiers were also trembling with fear. They still remembered who was regarded by the people as the Immortal God of War.
Emperor Qian Jing saw through her frustration and was not in a hurry, "You regret it. If you had not become the prince and settled down to be an emperor concubine, or died early in those battles, how could you have ended up in the situation you are in now."
"Regret?" Zhan Changfeng smiled half-heartedly, "I didn't have a choice from the beginning, right?"
"I only hate that I was dedicated to serving the country and could not be buried in a horse, but died in intrigues."
"I only hate that I am omniscient and omnipotent but actually know nothing, so everyone has long since deserted me."
"I only hate that I failed the world and failed you. In the end, I only failed myself."
She poured all her passion into the war, but when it was her turn, she didn't even have the strength to feel sad for herself.
So she calmly accepted Emperor Qian Jing's betrayal and calculations, as well as her own ending, as if she had been dead for a long time.
Emperor Qian Jing's face was complicated, "My son, I don't want to take action against you. If I can, I will hand over Da Qian to you and be my own supreme emperor in peace. Even if you want to kill your relatives out of justice, I have nothing to say."
"I don't know how to govern a country, and I don't want to govern a country, but!" His eyes became sharp, "I still know what the rules set by my ancestors are, and I also know what ethics are! You really let me down!"
"I don't know what my father is talking about. Anyone can accuse me, but you can't accuse me. The ancestors of the royal family can't accuse me!"
"Don't you know how to repent? You let commoners and nobles have the same qualifications to study and practice martial arts. You let women go out to work. How many rules have you broken in the past ten years!"
"I thought these problems were over. I don't want to repeat the debate in the court that year. Everything I did was just to restore vitality, just to support the war, and just to preserve the country of Daqian."
"At this moment, the gentry and literati have smelled that the war is about to end. They could support your decision back then, but now they can't. No one will let the originally humble people be equal to themselves."
Emperor Jing said, "Ask yourself, do you hope that one day you can weaken the status of the gentry and promote the status of civilian warrior women? You would rather subjugate the country than allow such a thing to shake the country and reverse its order!"
"I have tolerated you for a long time. I have been waiting for you to repent. Now you are asking for this step!" A few years ago, he knew that he still had blood outside, but he did not recognize it immediately. He did not think that he and his family were the same. A commoner's child is qualified to be his prince, but it's different now. He needs a real prince to inherit the world. Doesn't the plague at the border require a thousand treasures and glazed lamps? It just so happens that when the prince dies, the new prince goes to save all the people from the fire and water.
Zhan Changfeng's eyes showed aloof pity. She suddenly realized that the royal family and the world were nothing more than that. They were just high-end toys for others to manipulate. "Father, I remember that Zhonglang will be twenty years old this year."
Emperor Jing said proudly, "He can't be worse than you. You think you have complete control over the imperial capital, but you don't know that he also has the support of ministers. You think everything in the palace is under your applause. Aren't you surrounded by the imperial guards today?" ."
It is understandable that General Zhonglang, who had been the young commander of the Imperial Guard, secretly gathered a group of confidants.
But Zhan Changfeng laughed out loud, "Do you really think he will be your son?"
"What do you mean?" Emperor Jing clenched the wine bottle in his hand and stared at her closely.
"Father, do you still remember how the queen mother died?" She said with a cold gloom between her brows, "The queen mother didn't care how many concubines you had or how you slept with her, but you, it's up to you The beloved concubines bullied her and poisoned her, and my grandfather was inexplicably demoted and exiled by you. If it weren't for my birth, I'm afraid you would have killed me long ago. My mother never fought in her life, but she finally fought for me once."
Zhan Changfeng looked at him, "What she fights for is to ensure that I am the only heir of the royal family. After me, you will no longer be able to have children."
"If you are still sane and don't want to let Daqian die in your hands, just let me go and pretend that none of this has happened today. Otherwise, after I die, the prince who pretended to be from nowhere will let you go. Accompany me to hell, and Dagan will perish, so how can you call yourself the Emperor of Dagan!"
"Nonsense!" Emperor Jing was furious and threw the wine glass. The wine glass hit the prince and fell to the ground, scattering the wine.
"Your Majesty, the prince is just struggling to his death. Don't get in her way." Madam Rong was secretly frightened. According to Emperor Jing's intention, this prince was supposed to be the emperor's concubine?
According to the prince, Emperor Jing has actually become inhumane for a long time?
These two fathers and daughters calculated each other thoroughly.
Emperor Jing's eyes were bloodshot. He looked past the prince at the general who rushed into the palace gate. The general seemed to know that the palace was poisonous and did not step in. He knelt outside the threshold and said, "Father, everything around the Jinglun Palace is already ours." People and horses will never leak any information."
Emperor Jing said dumbly, "You, raise your head."
General Zhonglang raised his head as he was told, with admiration in his eyes, "Father."
He does look a bit like Emperor Jing, and his mother was indeed favored by him. With blood recognition, it can be said to be confirmed.
Emperor Jing didn't believe what the prince said, "Stop making excuses and do it!"
