low-key is king

Chapter 220 Do you dare to resist the edict?

"Lu Mingyang, these people are the pillars of Xuanyang Kingdom's imperial court. How can His Majesty allow you to act recklessly here?"

At this time, Yan Chaolu didn't seem to be the loser who had lost all hope. Seeing that the smile on her face disappeared, it was replaced by a sharp look, which made many people see the majesty that belonged to the queen.

Even some timid courtiers had the illusion that the domineering and unparalleled Queen Yan had returned. Even Lu Mingyang, the king of Zhendong, the king of all battles, seemed neither humble nor overbearing.

It seems that Yan Chaolu also knows that blindly being weak will not change her own destiny. Now that the matter has come to this point, she can only be tough to the end. As for whether she will live or die, she will be left to fate.

Xuanyang Monarch Lu Mingshan is the last trump card in Yan Chaolu's hands.

She believed that King Zhendong was a person who valued love and righteousness, and she knew this very clearly after many years of empress career.

"Big brother..."

After Yan Chaolu uttered these two words in succession, Lu Mingyang finally turned his attention to his elder brother, the Great Monarch, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

In fact, after entering the palace just now, Lu Mingyang had already seen Lu Mingshan's state, withered and puppet-like, which made Lu Mingyang's heart feel like a needle.

Thinking about how high-spirited the Emperor Xuanyang was back then.

Especially the civil strife in the country at the beginning of his accession to the throne, it was because of the extraordinary skills of the two brothers and a group of available civil servants and generals that they brought order out of the chaos and re-pacified the Xuanyang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, time has passed, and the two Lu brothers have their own changes. If Lu Mingyang hadn't fought back to Tianyang City, it might be another situation.

One was relegated to a small border town after being in a coma, and the other was drugged and controlled by the ambitious Yan family. The two heroes of the Lu family who were once glorious are really embarrassing.

"Yan Chaolu, until now, His Majesty has not been let go, do you really want to go all the way to the dark?"

Zhao Qidong, the prime minister at the side, saw that Lu Mingyang lost his composure, and couldn't help but change his old face, and shouted loudly, which brought everyone in the hall back to their senses.

"Your Majesty Prime Minister was just joking, Your Majesty is not sitting here comfortably, so why not talk about it?"

Yan Chaolu glanced at Zhao Qidong indifferently, and then said something that made everyone think about it, and at the same time turned all their eyes to the Lord Xuanyang.

I saw the Xuanyang Monarch sitting in the dragon chair and looking forward. At first glance, he was no different from a normal person, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong, let alone the strong ones.

"Yan Chaolu, you really think that everyone is blind. You control His Majesty, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and control the government of Xuanyang. Over the past year, you have perverted and turned the good Xuanyang Kingdom into a mess. Your crime is unforgivable!"

Zhao Bicheng, the eldest son of Zhao, can speak well, and has already obtained countless information from Tingxinlou. At this moment, he will stand up and make a righteous and righteous voice, which is deafening.

Originally, many people were wondering whether the Xuanyang Monarch was controlled by the Yan family, but at this moment, when Zhao Bicheng's words resounded in their ears, they finally affirmed this fact.

With Xuanyang's mind, if he was not controlled by others, why would he just sit back and watch Yan's ambitions and ignore him?
In the past six months, Lu Mingshan has hardly been to court, which already explains some problems.

"Zhao Qidong, I think your Zhao family father and son really want to rebel, how dare you be so disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Yan Chaolu sneered, completely ignoring the accusations in Zhao Bicheng's words, anyway, she was holding on to the last straw, and with Lu Mingshan in her hands, those guys would not dare to do it lightly.

"Lu Mingyang, His Majesty has an order for you to retreat immediately. Are you...will you resist the order?"

Yan Chaolu turned her gaze back to King Zhendong, and then there was a pair of bright yellow scrolls in her hands, on which the King's Seal was stamped, which really looked like the same thing.

This empress is at the end of her rope, she is betting that Lu Mingyang will not dare to kill herself in public, at least she will not care about her elder brother.

Now that the imperial decree has been issued, will you, Lu Mingyang, listen or not?

Don't you, Lu Mingyang, boast that you are unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness?Now that the imperial decree has come down, are you going to retreat according to the decree, or do you want to rebel against the decree and refuse to obey it?Many courtiers are watching here.

Even these courtiers, in fact, most of them can only be regarded as prisoners.

"When will Yan's words become Xuanyang's decree?"

Lu Mingyang is not so easy to fool, seeing him take a deep breath, he finally moved his eyes away from Lu Mingshan, and then said a word that made everyone in the hall quiet.

"Lu Mingyang, the imperial decree is in the hands of this palace, and it bears the seal of Xuanyang Kingdom. How dare you say it's fake?"

Yan Chaolu's voice was a bit sharp, and she even did not hesitate to reverse the imperial decree so that everyone could clearly see the red seal of the country. At least from the perspective of this imperial decree, it was not a forgery.

"Yan Chaolu, it's already at this time, you should stop acting. Since the eldest brother is here, then let him speak up and play some imperial game, so that everyone in the world will laugh their teeth off!"

Lu Mingyang was the one taking the initiative. Seeing him stretch out his hand and point at the monarch Lu Mingshan, the pain in his eyes flashed, and he became firmer.

The so-called imperial decree can be forged. Even the monarch has fallen into Yan Chaolu's hands. Isn't it easy to forge an imperial decree?

At this moment, the Zhendong Prince's Mansion is in full swing. If Lu Mingyang hadn't seen that Lu Mingshan still had a ray of life, he might have been unable to resist cutting off Yan Chaolu's head long ago. How could he be lying here?

"Sure enough, he is a traitor and traitor, even daring to defy His Majesty's imperial decree!"

How could Yan Chaolu at this time make Lu Mingshan speak, and even if His Majesty the Monarch spoke, what she said might not be what she wanted to hear.

Therefore, Yan Chaolu could only sigh, she was going to stand on the commanding heights of righteousness now, and it was Lu Mingshan's life that really allowed her to sit on the phoenix chair and talk freely.

"You're so stubborn, Yan Chaolu, do you really think you can save your humble life by talking about it?"

Zhao Minglou, the second son of the Zhao family, had been waiting impatiently for a long time. At this moment, his harsh voice made many people tremble, and some frowned, and looked at the monarch Zhao Mingshan involuntarily.

Don't look at the fact that Zhendong Palace is in control of the general situation at the moment, but His Majesty's matter is not easy to handle. If Yan Chaolu dies due to a careless move, will he be criticized by others?
If it was an ordinary hero, perhaps under such a situation, they would not care about a Lu Mingshan who was already under control, and might even be secretly happy in their hearts, wishing that Yan Chaolu would end the life of this puppet monarch as soon as possible.

But everyone knows that Lu Mingyang is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and may not even covet the position of Xuanyang Monarch. If possible, he would prefer to see Lu Mingshan continue to be the Xuanyang Monarch.

In this way, it is a bit of a mouse-hunter.

Don't look at Yan Chaolu's nonsense at the moment, in fact, with Lu Mingshan's trump card in hand, Lu Mingyang really dare not act rashly.

Seeing the stalemate in the palace, Luo Wuxu couldn't help flashing a gleam of joy in the eyes of Luo Wuxu, and the faint breath in his nose seemed to become fragrant, even though no one could smell it.

This may be their only chance. Now it seems that the chance is still great. If they can wipe out Lu Mingyang and others, they may even turn defeat into victory.

Yan Chaolu's procrastination was undoubtedly excellent, and the reason was because they had Lu Mingshan's huge bargaining chip in their hands.

Otherwise, before this time, they would be beheaded by Zhendong King, and nothing else would be mentioned.

But now, an opportunity has appeared in front of them. When Luo Wuxu glanced at a certain place secretly, he knew that the opportunity was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but become a little excited.

"Yan Chaolu, you and Eldest Brother should be married anyway, as long as you let Eldest Brother go, what if I promise to spare your life?"

In the quiet Great Hall of Supreme Harmony, a voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone's expressions to change, because they could all hear that the voice came from Zhendong King Lu Mingyang.

"My lord, no!"

The voices of the two Zhao brothers sounded at the same time. Whether it was Zhao Minglou, who was somewhat reckless, or Zhao Bicheng, who was always steady, there was a hint of anxiety on their faces.

Even Prime Minister Zhao Qidong, and those veterans who had been recovered, frowned slightly.

Yan Chaolu is one of the chief culprits in the civil turmoil in Xuanyang, how can he forgive him so easily?
"That's my elder brother, the monarch of Xuanyang Kingdom!"

Lu Mingyang didn't know what people like Zhao Qidong were thinking, but he couldn't just watch his elder brother fall into danger, even if there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.

Now that the Yan family has come to an end, so what if Yan Chaolu is left behind?

With no power, no power, and no cultivation base, what kind of waves can be caused under the eyes of a group of strong men?
Exchanging the life of a powerless Yan Chaolu for the life of Monarch Xuanyang is not worth it to others, but in Lu Mingyang's view, it is quite a bargain.

"Retire immediately, and I promise you!"

Hearing Lu Mingyang's words, a look of ecstasy flashed across Yan Chaolu's eyes, secretly thinking that his plan had really succeeded.

This king of Zhendong is really an indecisive person, and he can't accomplish any big things.

Now that he knew that Lu Mingyang attached so much importance to this elder brother's life, the ambition in Yan Chaolu's heart grew again.

What she wants is not only to save this life, this is the so-called insufficient heart.

Earlier, Yan Chaolu didn't know if Lu Mingyang would compromise, but at that time she thought about saving her life the most.

But when this primary goal was achieved, she was a little unwilling to fail like this.

People's hearts, sometimes they really can't figure it out!
