The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 427 Decisive Killing

Author: Que Nanzhi

After experiencing this blow, Emperor Ming's already weak body was even worse. Knowing that he could no longer handle political affairs, Emperor Ming 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 were still unable to avoid 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 faction also stopped. King Jin still had a son, so the Jin prince's party was full of intentions to establish King Jin's son as the crown prince for their own benefit.

After Li Ling's identity was revealed, 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 rise 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 these words, all the ministers of the Jin royal party came out and said: "I will reconsider this."

Emperor Ming's temperament had always been weak, and he treated his ministers with more kindness than 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 ever doubt it again.”

At this moment, Li Ling was standing beside Emperor Ming. His brows were straight, his face was solemn, and his whole body exuded the aura of solemnity unique to a military commander who had been on the battlefield for many years. Looking at Emperor Ming again, he did have some similarities with Li Ling except for his facial features.

, the demeanor and charm all over his body are simply worlds apart.

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 of being 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 blood of my Zhao family, but I would like to ask you. This is my Zhao family's business. Since both your Majesty and I have

No objection, it’s not your turn to criticize someone who relies on Meng’s family to lick someone who lives here.”

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.

Facing 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 to do so, 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.”

After saying that, Meng Fanyong kowtowed to Emperor Ming and said, "I will be the first to refuse to accept the appointment of Li Ling as the crown prince."

After Meng Fanyong finished speaking, all members of the Jin royal party knelt down and reconsidered: "I am not convinced either!"

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

The eldest princess was so angry that she pointed at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground 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?"

We are facing each other so hard, hey! All my beloved ministers are ministers of Da Qi, and you are like this, which really makes me very embarrassed."

Meng Fanyong did not back down and said: "Although your Majesty has lost two sons, King Jin still has a son. In order to keep the royal family 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 his figure was majestic and his cold and solemn aura gave people a huge sense of oppression.

He walked up to the guard in front of the palace, and 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.

The silent and terrifying momentum forced Meng Fanyong to retreat continuously. He was so shocked that his pupils shrank slightly and he took in a cold breath. Before he could even utter a cry of surprise, 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, rolled in the air in a beautiful arc with the sword light and then fell to the ground with a "plop".

Get out so far.

The ministers had never seen such a bloody 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 with one hand, looked at the ministers with a cold face, and said in a cold voice: "Is there anyone else who is dissatisfied?"

Look at the momentum of the world!

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

All civil and military officials in the court 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 care about life and death? 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 chair, was so frightened by Li Ling's decisive move that he became paralyzed. 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. Apart from 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. The Zhao family was in power with the style they deserved.

Before her death, Empress Li begged her not to let Li Ling know her identity, and just 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.
