Chapter 162 The Big Red Lantern(1/2)

Although there were twists and turns in the imperial city tonight, no matter how you look at it, the situation in the imperial city has stabilized now. King Liang and his subordinates were tied outside the imperial study room, among which was the middle-aged scholar who failed the exam in his early years. However, compared with King Liang's despair, the middle-aged scholar did not express any emotions. It seemed that what happened tonight was a thing that was expected.

The imperial guards of the four camps have settled down, and the new head of the Interior Office Li Fulu is still kneeling in front of the imperial study. This young eunuch still has no regrets now, but he is just thinking about his master in a daze. After tonight, he should be able to see his master.

His Majesty the Emperor stood outside the door of the Imperial Study room, with several people beside him wearing big red lanterns, so that the Imperial Study room was not disturbed by the night at all.

He looked at King Liang, but did not ask him, but just asked a master beside him about Princess Qi.

The master of the big inner shaking his head, not saying anything.

The tall King Liang looked at the condescending Emperor Chen and suddenly spoke sarcastically: "The emperor is really working every step. If you focus on the national war with Zhou, why is this?"

His Majesty the Emperor looked at King Liang, took a big red lantern, and walked forward two steps, "I haven't even sat firmly on the throne yet, how can I think too much? If your eyes were not filled with my seat, why would I have the same brothers and sisters today?"

"I think people like the King of Qi who live outside power cannot be spared after tonight. I am plotting chaos, so I should die for it. But what reason can the King of Qi use to execute him?"

King Liang was full of mocking.

His Majesty the Emperor looked calm, "The King of Qi can't even control his own princess, and he actually lets the Princess of Qi make a conspiracy with you. With this alone, I will deal with him. I believe that no ministers in the court will refute him. However, compared to your rebellious actions, I still have to bury him well and be buried in the royal tomb after death."

King Liang was speechless. It was already here, and no matter how he thought or looked, it was meaningless.

He suddenly turned to look at the middle-aged scholar and asked with a smile: "Sir, you have calculated the situation today?"

The middle-aged scholar was silent for a moment and said casually: "It's already here, no matter how much you say, it's meaningless. If you die, you will die."

King Liang laughed, but the laughter seemed a little lonely.

He still wanted to die on the battlefield. Before, in the palace, he thought that if he took the throne and waited until the situation in Huaiyang City was stable, he would go to the border, personally lead the army to destroy Zhou State. He was unwilling to be an emperor like the emperor's brother, but the ridiculous thing was that he could not become an emperor.

In the royal family, indifferent feelings are not a strange thing. It is a foregone conclusion that death in the palace is that King Liang will not blame anyone.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was standing outside the imperial study room, waited for a long time, but could not wait for the old man to return. He frowned and was about to open his mouth to execute King Liang directly. But after a moment, a big red lantern came slowly in the distance in the night.

His Majesty the Emperor squinted his eyes.

King Liang felt a little strange.

And the big masters outside the imperial study were stunned. Will there be some changes tonight?

The big red lanterns are from far to near.

When they arrived several feet away in front of the imperial study, everyone could see clearly the face of the figure holding a big red lantern.

The Princess Qi, led by the King of Qi, and the King of Qi.

This couple who everyone in Huaiyang City, who knew about it, walked to the imperial study room. The King of Qi looked calm and Princess Qi's eyes were still a little red. Although he was led by the King of Qi, he was always half a position behind him and seemed a little well-behaved.

The middle-aged scholar figured out something, and King Liang looked at King Qi with a strange expression. He knew who His Majesty the Emperor was waiting for, it was nothing more than King Qi or the corpse of King Qi, but now he was waiting for a King Qi with a natural expression.

Things have changed.

The King of Qi stopped and handed the big red lantern in his hand to Princess Qi. After the latter took it, he took two steps back and stood aside.

The King of Qi asked straight to the point: "Brother, is Su Su the one who ordered to kill tonight?"

Princess Qi, whose surname is Xun and whose name is Susu.

His Majesty the Emperor stood in front of the imperial study and spoke expressionlessly, "Xun Susu and King Liang were plotting against each other. It is reasonable for me to kill her."

King Qi shook his head, "But you still want to send Susu's head to me. Doing this way means that I don't even want to let go. Of course, this is not the reason for me to come tonight. The emperor is the emperor of Chen State. In order to preserve the throne, he can do anything. Even if the emperor wants to kill me, I think it is not a big deal, but the emperor knows that I like Susu so that I can't bear it."

His Majesty the Emperor said indifferently: "But I am the emperor of Chen State, and I am the heaven of Chen State."

The King of Qi retorted: "The emperor's brother is not the heaven of Chen. The heaven of Chen used to be the master of his brother, but now he is the younger brother. The emperor's brother is just the emperor of Chen."

Just the emperor of Chen State?!

King Qi's words are really intriguing.

His Majesty the Emperor was stunned, "What do you mean?"

The King of Qi did not answer this question, but instead asked King Liang, "Brother Wang, if you become the emperor of Chen State, how should you treat me and how should you treat the Xun family?"

King Liang had a complicated expression. Could it be that his younger brother, who has never been interested in power since childhood, has really had some trump card that he didn't take out? He didn't want to be the Emperor of Chen, but he just didn't want to be, not that he couldn't be?

King Liang did not rush to express his opinion, but King Qi kept waiting.

Finally, King Liang said solemnly: "When the King of Qi is still the King of Qi, the Xun family will still be the pillar of the temple!"

King Liang deliberately emphasized the matter of Xun’s family’s house, because the only ones who can really make the King of Qi care about him are those who are close to Princess Qi.

His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth and thought about speaking, but was interrupted by the King of Qi. "I don't want to listen to the emperor's brother, because what the emperor did tonight is not enough to make me respect the emperor's brother until now."

After saying this, the King of Qi turned his head and looked at Princess Qi and asked in a warm voice: "If you want to be the queen, I won't let you go."

Princess Qi shook her head, "I thought about it before, but then I don't think about it anymore. I want to go around with you and go to see other places, and don't want to stay in the palace."

The King of Qi laughed and said, "It's no problem to walk around, but it can only be in the territory of Chen. Prime Minister Luan can leave the country, but I can't leave."

Princess Qi nodded, "Enough."

The King of Qi laughed. It was enough that things had come to this point.

He turned his head and looked at King Liang, "Brother Wang, you will be the emperor of Chen from now on."

This is a declaration.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious and opened his mouth and angrily shouted: "King of Qi, do you know what you are talking about?"

The King of Qi looked at His Majesty and said, "Do you know why your father loves his brother the most? Do you know why even this is the case and his brother is unwilling to take the position of the emperor brother? I have said too much, but the emperor brother can't understand it. Then let me tell my brother to tell my brother, because I am a monk, because I can step on that great road, so my father loves his brother so much. Because I am a monk, I have no idea about the throne in this secular world. Logically speaking, before my father dies, I should tell my brother, and the emperor brother didn't hear it. Could it be that my father was extremely disappointed with you?"

The word "Monk" shocked everyone present at this time, much more intense than all the things that happened before tonight.

It turns out that His Highness, who has never fought for, is not saying that he is indifferent to power, nor does he like to protect himself.

He actually looked down on the throne.

Yes, the Emperor of Chen may be an extremely attractive identity in the eyes of the secular people, but in the eyes of the identity of a monk like the King of Qi, it is really not worth mentioning.

In front of the imperial study room, there was another silence like death.

The identity of King Qi has not been confirmed, but in fact, since the group of masters did not return to Daohuang City, this matter has actually become eight points.

King Qi waved slightly.

The rope that bound Liang Wang broke inch by inch.

Everyone was no longer confused.

A group of masters and many imperial guards knelt down one after another. Although the King of Qi explicitly said that he wanted King Liang to be the emperor, everyone still looked at King of Qi.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at King Qi, his whole body trembled slightly, and he said gritting his teeth: "Luan Xiangguo has not left yet. Are you so conspiring to rebel? Is Luan Xiangguo turning a blind eye?"

The King of Qi shook his head, "The Prime Minister Luan has left the country tonight."

This was the last straw that broke.

His Majesty the Emperor sat in front of the imperial study.

The King of Qi turned around, looked at King Liang, and said with a smile: "Brother, I want to go around."

King Liang suddenly smiled and nodded in agreement.

The King of Qi picked up the big red lantern again, took Princess Qi's hand, and slowly left.

King Liang, who had been untied the rope, walked a few steps, looked at the emperor's brother who lost tonight, and whispered to himself: "The emperor feels incredible, I am the same, but the heavens of Chen are still the same, but the emperor is really going to change."

This farce in the Imperial City is really about to end tonight.

King Liang took a knife from his entourage beside him and placed it in front of his emperor brother.

The intention is obvious.

His Majesty the Emperor raised his knife tremblingly and laughed in regret.

King Liang had a look of vigor.

"Go and invite all the magistrates from Huaiyang City to come, and today's magistrate meeting is in advance."

What King Liang said was naturally what he said to those masters in the inner world.

So after a moment, a group of masters from the inner palace came out of the palace one after another.

But at this moment, a young man standing on the roof of the corner building in the distance was staring at King Liang, pressing the famous sword.

The young man called Xie Ying, and the knife on his waist was called Qike.

——

The King of Qi led the Princess Qi and walked in the silent palace wall with the big red lantern. The King of Qi said warmly along the way about the beauty of the Chen Kingdom.

Princess Qi nodded frequently, and King Qi was in a good mood.

"After leaving Huaiyang, let's go and see the Wanbao Pavilion. The Wanbao Pavilion is built on a dangerous peak and stands on the roof to watch the sunrise. It should be the most magnificent scenery of Chen State. In the past, you thought I was cowardly, but I have never said anything bad to you."

Princess Qi pulled the hem of King Qi's clothes unhappily.

The latter smiled.

He really loved the woman beside him, so he was unwilling to put her in the largest cage in Chen State to suffer. He knew that sooner or later she would figure it out.

Didn't you figure it out?

Princess Qi whispered: "Before leaving, you must arrange your father. Dad can retreat from the position of Minister of Revenue, but the Xun family's room should be in the Xun family as usual, otherwise..."
