Chapter 134 - Surrender of Military Power
The light of the morning sun shone onto Emperor Yun's handsome face, causing his entire being to be bathed in the light, becoming more and more ethereal.
"Hopefully, younger brother Ling will reassure me!"
Emperor Yun slowly walked out of the great hall.
During dinner time, Qin Luofei only ate half a bowl of rice porridge, and then she couldn't eat anymore.
Zi Yuan had gone out of the palace, and she still had not returned. Qin Luofei was somewhat worried in her heart.
She stroked the child in her womb and sighed. This child truly came at the wrong time.
If she didn't have this child, helping the late emperor was already a given. But with this child, she had to stand on the side of that bastard.
Not only did she want to kill the Imperial Consort Leng, she also wanted to get the throne and make the two of them lie at her feet forever.
"Miss, rest early!" Daffodil Daydream cleaned up the dishes, and when she saw that Qin Luofei was still fooling around with the bed, she couldn't help but ask.
Qin Luofei nodded and went to rest on the bed.
What she didn't know was that the outside of the palace was already in an uproar.
"Hand over the military power, Ling Wang, do not go too far!" General Qin's face was cold as he glared at the Ling Wang.
Seeing General Qin angry, his lips moved slightly, and he said indifferently: "I am here to inform General Qin, not to negotiate with you. If General Qin doesn't agree, then don't blame me for being rude to the Qin family. "
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Standing at the side, the Qin family's eldest son also had an extremely ugly expression. He had always had a good relationship with the current emperor, but he didn't expect that after the ascension of the Emperor Yun, he would actually turn hostile.
"If you didn't hand over the military power, the emperor would have conferred the title of imperial concubine to his sister. His sister is the late emperor's concubine, how can she be the Emperor's Imperial Concubine? "Therefore, you must hand over the military power. If you don't hand over the military power, you must hand it over." Ling Wang remained unmoved. Her words were cold and indifferent, but the words he spoke were without a doubt.
When the General Qin heard that the emperor was going to confer his own daughter as his imperial concubine, his face lit up, and he quickly replied, "Then let the emperor confer Luo Fei as his imperial concubine. That is the virtue of our Qin family. Don't you want your sister to prosper in the palace? "
Even Young Master Qin felt that it was inappropriate for General Qin to say such words, and his expression became slightly ugly.
Ling Wang looked at Young Master Qin and sneered, saying: "Big brother heard it too, this is the Qin family, they like to use women to exchange for glory and wealth. It's a pity that little sister doesn't agree, and I will not agree either. Otherwise, I won't be polite. "
Ling Wang did not speak anymore. Waving his hand, the guards behind him spread out to the sides, surrounding the Qin family.
It looks like, as long as General Qin says no, the Qin family would immediately be expropriated.
"You … You are raised by our Qin family. " General Qin was so angry that his face turned green, as he said while gnashing his teeth.
Ling Wang raised his head, his eyes became even colder and more beautiful, and said: "Mother's death, is enough to offset the Qin family's grace in raising me. Could it be, the General Qin wants me to investigate Mother's death? "
After the General Qin heard what the Ling Wang said, his face immediately changed. Although he hadn't done anything to Ling Wang's mother? However, she had died in the Qin Manor after all. It was unknown whether he had died in the hands of his own concubine or not, so how could he dare to say anything?
"General Qin, hand over the command arrows!" The Ling Wang had clearly lost his patience.
"Father, you should give the command medallion to third brother! Presumably, third brother will not make things difficult for the Qin family. " Seeing that the situation had reached this point, Young Master Qin knew that the Ling Wang was definitely the one who ordered all of this.
If the Qin family handed over the military power, they would no longer be involved in this mess. It could also be considered a good thing.
"I want to see the Emperor. I want to see the Emperor." General Qin was still struggling.
Ling Wang waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately went forward, but were stopped by Young Master Qin.
"Third brother, I will give you the command medallion and you can retreat!"
Ling Wang waved and ordered his men to retreat, as he looked towards Young Master Qin.
Young Master Qin returned to his room. Not long after, he returned with a wooden box containing the army's tokens and arrows.
Ling Wang took it and opened the box. Seeing that there were no mistakes, he handed it over to his subordinates.
"Since the Arrows Qin family has already handed it over, then I will not delay any longer. However, there is one thing I want to tell Big Brother. This is no longer the place where the Qin family resides for a long time.
Young Master Qin nodded.
Although the Qin family had helped the Emperor when he seized the throne, they did not immediately step forward. If he stayed any longer, there wouldn't be a good ending.
"My command medallion, my command medallion!" General Qin collapsed onto the ground.
"Father, if the family is still here, then it would already be the Emperor's benevolence. Father, do not make the Emperor unhappy again, or else, a disaster will truly befall the Qin family. " Young Master Qin couldn't help but remind his father when he saw his father still in such a dilemma.
"Your two sisters are still in the palace. How could the Qin family be exterminated? As long as your sister agrees to be conferred the title of Emperor, then our Qin family will still be related to the royal family. General Qin was greedy for power, so taking the order badge was no different from taking his name.
Seeing that there was no hope in persuading him, Young Master Qin did not try to persuade him anymore and turned around to return to the house, leaving General Qin paralyzed on the ground.
Patriarch Qin and his mother were in critical condition, and Third Aunt was scolded by the Emperor. He was locked in the woodshed, and his arrows were collected by the Emperor.
The Qin family was in a state of chaos.
But for many commoners in the capital, tonight was destined to not be a peaceful night.
When Ling Wang came out of the Qin house, he saw that on the street in the southwest, the sky was ablaze with fire.
"What happened?" Ling Wang asked the guards beside him.
The guard next to him shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened to my men. How about we send someone to take a look?"
Ling Wang shook his head and said: "Bring the people here, I will go with you."
The streets were in a mess. The civilians were splashing water into the fire with basins and other objects, but the fire was too big and they could not control it.
In a burning courtyard, someone was crying, "Hurry up and run, I'm trapped, I can't move."
In a collapsed wall, a woman was pushing a man.
The man was still using all of his strength to tug at the woman's arm, but the fire was too strong and quickly spread over.
He had thought of many ways the Li family would deal with him, but he didn't think that the Li family would be so vicious that they would burn down the entire house. It was all due to his carelessness.
"Hurry up and leave." Lin Yuyue's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't help but caress her belly, feeling that it was a pity that she had a child in her womb.
"No, I must get you out." Emperor Ming was like a madman as he used his hands to feel the burning wood. The flames became bigger and bigger, gradually engulfing the woman. He could only hear her mournful screams.
"Go, go, go."
The man still wanted to rush in, but was stopped by the two men in black who came in from outside.
"Mistress, we came late."
The man watched helplessly as the girl was submerged within the sea of fire. He half-closed his eyes, unable to bear to look at her.
All his life, he had never cared about women. However, in this sort of situation, he could not help but feel pity for a woman who was good to him.
The two men in black saw that their master was too sad, so the two of them acted together and pulled Emperor Yun out of the room.
Not only did the people of the Ling Wang arrive in front of the burned down courtyard house, even the yamen that was in charge of security in the capital had sent people over.
Ling Wang ordered someone to remove the wall next door to prevent the fire from spreading, and also ordered someone to carry water to extinguish the fire.
With the help of the crowd, the fire gradually died down.
Just as everyone was rejoicing, a handsome man walked out from the burning house.
The man wore a brocade robe, and his eyes glistened with light. He exuded a noble aura, making people revere him.
"Ling Wang, don't tell me that you don't even know me anymore?" Emperor Ming looked at Ling Wang, and said coldly.
In the past, when he was still an emperor, the Ling Wang was his bodyguard, so he was naturally the most familiar with him. He did not know how many trump cards his good little brother, Seventh Prince, had.
"Your Majesty? "You're not dead?" Ling Wang was startled when he saw the man. He did not expect to meet the previous king here.
Hadn't the late king already died?
The majority of the people standing behind Ling Wang were palace guards. Although most of them had never spoken to Emperor Ming before, they still recognized him.
"I'm not dead. Could it be that my royal brother is very disappointed?" Emperor Ming looked at him coldly.
"Junior brother doesn't dare." Ling Wang looked at Emperor Ming, not knowing what to do.
Does the Emperor know that the late emperor is still alive?
Emperor Ming coldly snorted, and said: "Little brother, can you bring me to see the current emperor? I have something to say to him. "
Ling Wang's heart was in turmoil, his brows knitted together slightly.
"Ancestor Emperor, your subject naturally has to report to the Emperor. How about … your subject follows your subject back to my palace for a while?"
The Emperor Ming nodded his head. He actually chose to fight because he wanted to stand in the light and have a good fight with his good brother.
"We pay our respects to the previous Emperor." The imperial guards and guards behind Ling Wang did not know how to address the previous Emperor.
"Rise." Emperor Ming helped him up.
"Leader, let the Emperor go alone. Is there any danger?" The black-robed guard hidden in the shadows spoke.
The man who was called the leader also had a face full of worry, but he still shook his head slightly and said, "We only need to obey His Majesty's orders."
The Ling Wang ordered his men to bring the horses over, and personally helped the Emperor Ming up, then bowed and said: "Royal brother, let's return to the residence first! Your servant brother is afraid that this place might not be safe. "
Emperor Ming nodded, but in his heart, he knew that the Li Family was in his bones.
First, Ling Wang sent the Emperor Ming back to his mansion safely. Then, he instructed the guards to protect him, and he himself immediately rushed to the Imperial Palace to report to Emperor Yun.
Emperor Yun was sitting in the imperial study, reading a memorial. A young eunuch at the side was carefully studying ink.
"Your Majesty, the Ling Wang wishes to seek an audience." A young eunuch entered the palace and reported in a low voice.
The corner of Emperor Yun's mouth revealed a sneer, what should come will eventually come.
"Please invite Ling Wang in."
Ling Wang entered the palace, bowing first to pay his respects, "Greetings to the Emperor."
