Chapter 760 Fishing

"Long live!"

At this time, in this world, under the Nine Heavens, above China, in all directions, there is only one person who can be called "Long Live", and that is today's emperor!

The figure in the golden light was above average height, with clear brows, slightly thin lips, and sparkling eyes. He looked like he was still young, but he was already calm and experienced, with the appearance of a great person, but he was serious and slightly mean. It has been ten years since he ascended the throne. He has grown up in countless battles. He got married last year and became the emperor. He is already the legitimate emperor and the lord of the world!

The emperor is here!

Everyone felt shocked and ridiculous, as if they were dreaming.

Is it strange that the emperor came to Jinding Tower?

Today is the traditional Jinshan Fireworks Festival, and the Emperor is supposed to be here. The Queen Mother came first and the Emperor came later. It can also be said that things happened for a reason.

Is it strange for everyone to meet the emperor?

Who here cannot see the emperor from time to time? For ten days, the emperor never neglected his duties. Even ordinary courtiers could see him three times a month. Is it still short of this one time? What's more, the emperor is now wearing ordinary clothes. Although the colors and patterns are ordinary, he seems to be dressed like a noble prince. He does not have the solemnity and majesty of the twelve crowns and twelve coats of arms, and it seems nothing special.

however……

How could the emperor still be alive?

Isn't he obviously dead?

Do not……

These clear-minded adults reacted immediately:

Who said the emperor is dead?

Oh, King Shun said it.

What did Prince Shun say? Couldn't he be a rebellious minister, slandering the Queen Mother and cursing His Majesty just to commit rebellion?

But the Queen Mother just admitted it...

No, the Queen Mother didn’t admit it either.

The Queen Mother has always sternly denied that she killed the emperor. King Shun, King Shou and other rebellious ministers pressed forward step by step and used force to coerce the Queen Mother, leaving the Queen Mother speechless. This created the illusion that Her Majesty was dead. As for the protective spiritual light that suddenly protected the prince...

Who knows what conspiracy they are playing? Maybe Taizu's blessing was all a cover-up.

No matter how many twists and turns there are and how many details cannot be considered in detail, the facts are all before our eyes.

The emperor is still alive.

It’s good to be alive.

Regardless of whether King Shou or King Shun, these ambitious people come to power, who knows what kind of purge will be launched? It is better to be an emperor, which is better than stability.

While everyone easily accepted this fact, which was greatly beneficial to stability, everyone in the game felt as if they had seen a ghost.

Needless to say, Prince Shun, in his eyes, seeing the living emperor, isn't it like seeing a ghost?

The fact that the Queen Mother accidentally killed the Emperor, which was like a golden rule to him, was now completely overturned. The Emperor was standing in front of him. His eyes were straight, he stared at the Emperor and trembled: "You...who are you..."

King Shou and others were extremely frightened and regretful, because they accepted the second-hand information from King Shun and went to spy on the Forbidden Palace themselves, and found many clues as evidence. After passing through Mr. An and other staff, The connection, coupled with their respective ambitions and interests, finally led to where they are today. After seeing the emperor, what they thought about was not seeing a ghost, but:

Damn it, this time he was harmed by this idiot King Shun!

This idiot must have fallen into a trap!

Compared with many people who didn't know the truth who speculated that King Shun and others were talking nonsense, King Shou knew that the rumor that the emperor was mistakenly killed by the queen mother was not fabricated out of thin air. There were many traces that could corroborate each other. It even seemed to be watertight. This was by no means a coincidence. It was premeditated, and someone had set up a trap, waiting for people like them to get into it.

The one who laid this trap can only be...

emperor!

At this moment, King Shou had almost guessed the answer to the riddle, and could even deduce it backwards: The emperor somehow made up the illusion that he was accidentally killed. This illusion was so real that the Queen Mother actually believed it, and King Shun was there There is probably a reliable informant in the inner court who has obtained this top-secret information. The more top-secret it is, the more people will believe it. So he was like a big fish in a fish pond that the emperor fished out of the pond in Youzhou. By the way, he also brought out the Shou King and several others.

When the emperor did this, it was shocking to think about it carefully. He was simply making fun of himself and the fate of the country. He must have some huge goal, but it is an obvious purpose to clear out some people with evil intentions in the royal family, and to beat or even completely abolish the political life of the Queen Mother.

He did it, easily.

King Shun had expended so much strength and fought so hard with the Queen Mother's bayonets that they almost died together. Only to reach this advantageous situation now, the Emperor only had to walk upstairs to reverse the situation. Now King Shun should still have the power to fight back, and his situation is much better than that of the Queen Mother who just lost the fight, but everyone, including himself, feels that he is finished. Although the emperor did not show any strength and walked up alone, as long as he issued an imperial edict or a verbal edict, he could send King Shun away lightly.

The gap is as big as clouds and mud.

Just because he is the emperor! The most just and righteous monarch in the world!

Several other kings who appeared on the scene felt a sense of despair. Only the oldest and well-informed King Shou refused to give up at this time. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself: There must be some chance of a comeback, think about it! At the same time, another person who was more shocked than King Shun and could not accept the reality now was, of course, the Queen Mother.

She was the first person to experience it!

Could she not know whether King Shun was talking nonsense?

Whenever she closes her eyes these days, she sees the image of her sword thrusting into her son's body, the sound of piercing flesh, the spilling blood, and the cooling temperature in her arms...

Those are all facts that can no longer be true.

So when she saw the emperor standing in front of her, she did not feel the joy of regaining what she had lost. Instead, she felt heartfelt fear:

His son is dead, who is this?

She was so nervous at this moment that she wanted to open her mouth to ask, but she was seriously injured just now. When she opened her mouth, she could not make any sound, and she could only spit out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, the emperor came over, stretched out his hand to help the queen mother, just like a mother holding a child, held the bloody and dusty queen mother in his arms, and said: "Mother, here I come."

At this time, the Queen Mother saw his eyes.

They were a pair of sharp, hard pupils that seemed to be burning with flames forever. Although they were so close and their gestures were so intimate, there was no emotion between family members, only an incomparable calmness.

It seemed like...he was really her son.

Ever since his son grew up and became more mature, he has always had this look in his eyes. He never looks at himself like he is looking at his mother, but like a predator looking at the competing beasts in his territory.

When there was a conflict that day, these eyes stared at her so sharply, arousing the fear of the Queen Mother. The fatal sword was her stress reaction.

"you……"

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I'm fine." The emperor leaned over and said coldly in the Queen Mother's ear: "You can't kill me. Isn't it nice to look like this now? You can understand people's words now."

Sure enough, it was his plan.

The Queen Mother only felt a sense of horror and relief. Sure enough, I couldn't beat him. Although there is a twenty-year age gap, he has always been retreating step by step.

Now that we have completely lost, that’s the end of it.

Although she didn't understand why the emperor did this, it just seemed that the cost was too high as a fishing plan, but at this time she was no longer able to explore.

She couldn't catch up with the emperor. The emperor didn't want to kill her anyway, right?

If the emperor wanted her to die, he only had to take a small step late and borrow King Shun's sword to kill him. If he came to stop her, he would still spare her life.

Then she should have known better, should have withdrawn, and returned the stage to the rightful owner.

The emperor looked at King Shun, and his voice was as cold as a superior god: "King Shun, are you the one who hurt your mother like this? You are so brave! Do such a treasonous thing!"

King Shun stared at him. At this time, he had already understood a little. He had fallen into a trap. He had killed the Queen Mother for the emperor in vain, but he had taken the blame. The person who borrowed the knife actually accused him condescendingly!

The emperor came to ask himself. He knew that he had two choices at this time. One of them was to reveal the truth and scold the emperor. Tell this oriole not to be proud. He is just a dirty trick.

The price is a miserable death, but it won't bring joy to the nine clans.

There is another option, that is, he was deceived and really thought that the Queen Mother had killed the Emperor. Then he was filled with righteous indignation and asked the Queen Mother for the crime. This was by no means a conspiracy, but a sign of loyalty to the Emperor. In this way, he could get rid of his guilt and ask for the emperor's forgiveness.

This may save his life, but the price is to give up all dignity and the possibility of a comeback, and only ask for mercy from the emperor. The success rate of surviving is by no means high, but it is possible to spare the family.

It stands to reason that as a political animal, King Shun should not hesitate to choose to be aware of current affairs, keep the green hills, and not be afraid of running out of firewood. Even if there is a possibility of survival, he should make the most humble gesture. It's nothing, living is everything. But for some reason, he didn't want to give in, even if there was still room for maneuver.

The emperor did not continue to exert pressure. He didn't care about King Shun at all. He turned to look at King Shou and said, "Uncle Wang, you are so disappointing to me. King Shun has been in the outer vassal for a long time, and you have watched me grow up." Not only me, but also King Xing grew up under your watch, and you actually managed to do it."

However, King Shou did not hesitate. He threw himself to the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty clearly knows that I am loyal to your Majesty. This is all because King Shun deceived me. He swore that the queen mother hurt your majesty and was suspected of treason. As a member of the clan, I I have the responsibility to protect the unification, so I joined forces with him. Who would have thought that this guy would have such ulterior motives, making up rumors to take advantage of me, I wish I could tear him into pieces!"

When King Shun hesitated, the ecological niche left for him was occupied by King Shou. He had no chance to kneel down even if he wanted to.

Hearing King Shou's statement, the emperor was noncommittal and said, "You said you would not hesitate to confront the Queen Mother for me, then why did you plot against the Imperial Master?"

King Shou immediately said: "This is also King Shun's arrangement. I was deceived and acted according to his orders."

King Shun was furious and shouted: "Fart, isn't this your plan?"
