lucky star girl

Chapter 213
Not to mention the different thoughts of the people sitting below, Ruikangdi looked at his son who was slowly walking to his side, but felt a burst of regret in his heart.

The son is in his prime, but he is old.

But thinking that his son is also his own blood, and his two outstanding grandsons, and his own blood can be passed on in the future, Emperor Ruikang finally felt better.

Right after Emperor Ruikang called Ye Jingxing to his side, Empress Hu also spoke directly, calling Xu Nuanwen and Dong Shu to her side.

Originally, Empress Hu was only going to call Dong Shu to her side, but because Emperor Ruikang called Ye Jingxing to her side, she couldn't just call Dong Shu to her side, she could only call Xu Nuanwen together.

After Queen Hu followed suit, the expressions of the people sitting next to her became more normal.

Xu Nuanwen didn't expect that Empress Hu would call her to go there today. When she walked up, she caught a glimpse of her mother-in-law's face from the corner of her eye. Instead of a look of displeasure, she was completely relieved. .

After Xu Nuanwen and Dong Shu sat down beside Empress Hu, the New Year's banquet officially began.

Today's New Year's banquet, in addition to celebrating the New Year, everyone knows that there are two major events that will happen.

As everyone picked up their wine glasses, everyone was wondering when Rui Kangdi would wait to speak.

Emperor Ruikang sat at the top, looked at the expressions of the people at the bottom, and knew that everyone's thoughts were not here, but he was in a very good mood at the moment.

This feeling of being expected to speak by everyone is really great.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Emperor Ruikang satisfied everyone's reaction before nodding to King Duan, who was the first one on the left.

Duan Wang also understood that Brother Huang was unhappy today, so no matter how anxious others were, no matter how many people winked at him, he did not give any reaction.

It was not until this time that Emperor Ruikang received a hint that King Duan raised the wine glass in front of him, and said to Emperor Ruikang, "My brother, He Huangxiong."

As soon as King Duan opened his mouth, the noisy hall instantly fell silent.

King Duan didn't seem to notice this at all. After saying this, he saw Emperor Ruikang looking towards him, and then continued: "Brother He Huang has an outstanding emperor like Xing'er under his knees, and there is hope in the future!"

As soon as Duan Wang finished speaking, the officials belonging to the lineage of the fifth prince Ye Jingxing and their family members immediately put on smiles.

The words 'Jiangshan is hopeful' are not casually said, and everyone knows that King Duan and the Holy One have a good relationship.

Now that King Duan can say such words, it proves that the heir of Emperor Ruikang's heart is indeed the fifth prince, Ye Jingxing!
No matter what other people's expressions are, Ye Jingxing, who had already guessed what his father was thinking, showed a rare 'shame' at this meeting. Emperor Ruikang saw the expression on Ye Jingxing's face, nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "You What you said is good, there is something to do, even if I close my eyes at this moment, I will have no regrets."

This kind of "inappropriate" words can only be said by Emperor Ruikang himself, and it is not taboo.

But the most important thing at this moment is what Emperor Ruikang said just now, that he really intends to hand over the throne to Ye Jingxing, his son.

Just when everyone thought that according to Emperor Ruikang's temperament, he would wait until the end of the annual banquet to announce the news of his abdication, Emperor Ruikang who was sitting at the top suddenly sighed and said: "See you When I grow up and have a family, I also know that I am old."

After Ruikangdi said this, he waved directly to the servant beside him without giving everyone time to react.

Seeing that the servant just took out an imperial decree from the sleeve, everyone who sat down was startled.

'Why is Your Majesty so cheerful today? '

This is the thought that popped up in the minds of most officials at the same time.

It's not that they want to think about Emperor Ruikang so much, but that Emperor Ruikang has been emperor for more than [-] years. These officials have become accustomed to Emperor Ruikang's procrastination in doing things, but they didn't expect that Emperor Ruikang would be so straightforward today.

Ruikangdi has been paying attention to the expressions of the people, and seeing them showing such expressions, he feels more and more proud.

He is reluctant to part with the throne, but in front of life, the temptation of the throne to him is not so great.

The important thing is that Emperor Ruikang felt that he had chosen a qualified heir and handed over the country to him, so that he could completely raise his body with peace of mind and enjoy his grandchildren.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ruikang withdrew his thoughts and glanced at Ye Jingxing beside him with satisfaction.

Almost at the moment when Emperor Ruikang came back to his senses, the servant had already opened the imperial decree, looked at Ye Jingxing and said, "Fifth Prince Ye Jingxing accepts the decree."

As soon as the servant finished speaking, Ye Jingxing hurriedly got up and walked down, but before he knelt down to receive the order, a discordant voice suddenly sounded in the originally quiet hall.

"Father, even if you want the seat of Zen, you should be orderly, and pass it on to me." As he spoke, Ye Jingche slowly stood up from his seat, holding a wine glass in his hand, but The wine in the glass has never been less than a sip from the beginning.

Hearing Ye Jingche's words, Emperor Ruikang immediately frowned and said displeasedly: "Cheer, what are you doing? After this imperial decree, it will be your adoptive decree." After saying this, he paused and looked at Ye Jingche again He scolded: "Still not retreating!"

Emperor Ruikang directly stated his own arrangement. Originally, he planned to adopt Ye Jingche first and then take the throne, but because he was in a good mood, he temporarily decided to take the throne first, and then announced the adoption of Ye Jingche.

From Emperor Ruikang's point of view, Ye Jingche's adoption to King Ling had already been announced a few months ago. Even if there is no imperial decree, everyone who should know should know about it.

But he didn't expect that Ye Jingche knew about it, but still chose to speak out his thoughts at this time.

After Ye Jingche heard Rui Kangdi's words, instead of stepping back, he continued to take two steps forward.

"Retire? Why should I retreat?" Ye Jingche's eyes flashed a trace of cruelty while speaking, and he looked at Emperor Ruikang and continued: "Obviously they are all your sons, why should I be adopted, but the fifth son Can be emperor? Why?"

Ye Jingche gritted his teeth for the last three words.

He was indeed unbalanced in his heart. He didn't think he was inferior to Ye Jingxing. The mother and concubine of the two had similar backgrounds, and he was the elder. Why should he pass him on to the fifth son?

Seeing Ye Jingche like this, Emperor Ruikang's heart trembled. After closing his eyes, he opened them and looked at him and said, "Why not you? How dare you ask why not you?" Thinking of the prince who died young, "If I don't tell you what you have done for so many years, it doesn't mean I don't know! If the throne is really passed on to you, I will be sorry for the ancestors of the Ye family. , I'm sorry for the people of this world!"

As soon as Ruikangdi finished speaking, he felt uncomfortable and a little out of breath.

Seeing Ruikangdi like this, Dong Shu hurriedly picked up the warm water she hadn't drank in front of her and brought it to him.

After Rui Kangdi drank half a cup of warm water, he felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.

When Dong Shu was moving, Ye Jingche had been quietly watching her movements, until Dong Shu returned to Queen Hu's side, Ye Jingche suddenly looked at Dong Shu and laughed.

"It's all because of you, right? If it wasn't for you, how could Xu Shiqiu return to Beijing? If Xu Shiqiu didn't return to Beijing, how could he take over so much military power? He doesn't have military power, and Lao Wu doesn't have any reliable generals around him, so he will I won't win. Without you, the empress would have been gone long ago! Without the empress, how could father and emperor take back the palace power from my mother and concubine. All the changes are because of you, right?" Ye Jingche suddenly threw The wine glass that he had been holding in his hand stretched out his hand towards Dong Shu.

Dong Shu didn't expect that Ye Jingche would suddenly come to grab her, she froze for a moment in shock, and when she came to her senses, she already picked up something in front of her and threw it towards Ye Jingche.

Although Ye Jingche is not proficient in martial arts, he really doesn't care much about things thrown by a woman.

But it was this thing that he didn't pay attention to, but it hit his eyes straight.

With the stabbing pain in his eyes, although Ye Jingche had already closed his eyes in time, his left eye was still unable to open for a while because of the pain of the impact.

Because of this accident, Ye Jingche's original patience was all lost, he shouted directly to the outside of the hall: "Come on, tie up these people!"

Following Ye Jingche's words, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside the hall.

Looking at these people, the officials and family members in the hall who were stunned by the movement of the superior immediately became a little flustered.

Seeing them flustered, Ye Jingche laughed with satisfaction and said, "Haha, as long as you are obedient, I will let you go when I ascend the throne." After saying this to those people, Ye Jingche looked at Ye Jingxing, Ye Jinghui and the others again and said : "As for you, for the sake of brothers, I will leave you a whole body."

Emperor Ruikang hadn't opened his mouth since being fed half a cup of warm water by Dong Shu just now, until now Ye Jingche showed his ambition and murderous intentions towards Ye Jingxing and others, then he looked at Ye Jingche who was next and said, "You really think that today Can you ascend the throne smoothly?"

Hearing Emperor Ruikang's words, Ye Jingche immediately looked at him and said, "My dear father, don't worry, after I ascend the throne, I will arrange a good place for you." As he spoke, the madness in Ye Jingche's eyes became more and more intense. more and more.

Before Emperor Ruikang could speak again, he set his eyes on Dong Shu again.

"Originally, I wanted to take you for my own use. Although you have been married, you are lucky enough to give me a concubine." Having said that, Ye Jingche walked towards Dong Shu step by step. His smile also slowly disappeared, and finally looked at Dong Shu and said fiercely: "It's just that since you don't know what's good, then die with them!"

As soon as Ye Jingche finished speaking, two soldiers came towards Dong Shu with swords.

And at this critical moment, Xu Nuanwen suddenly overturned the case in front of her and blocked the swords swung by the two people. At the same time, Emperor Ruikang also said loudly: "Come here!"

Seeing Dong Shu being protected by Xu Nuanwen, Ye Jingche didn't care at first, but the next moment, the moment Emperor Ruikang's voice fell, a group of soldiers in black armor suddenly poured out from the back of the hall.

Seeing this group of soldiers, an official who had seen them before exclaimed, "The Iron Eagle Brigade is General Xu's Iron Eagle Brigade!"

The moment the official's voice fell, Xu Shiqiu, dressed in black armor, led the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade, rushed from around the main hall to the main hall, and fought with the soldiers belonging to Ye Jingche who came in before .

Seeing Xu Shiqiu appear here in an instant, Ye Jingche was flustered for a moment and then calmed down again.

Fortunately, he had other arrangements!
Dong Shu was also very pleasantly surprised when she saw Xu Shiqiu's appearance. She didn't expect that Xianggong would come back.

Not only did he come back, it looked like he had already arrived in the capital, otherwise how could he appear here in time.

Seeing Dong Shu looking at Xu Shiqiu in a daze, Empress Hu, who hadn't spoken before, hurriedly pulled her to her side to protect her and said, "You child, you don't know how to hide. Swords have no eyes, so don't get hurt."

When Dong Shu heard what Empress Hu said, although she knew that what she said was reasonable, she hadn't seen Xu Shiqiu for several months, and when she finally saw him, how could she look away from him.

Empress Hu also felt love before, and she understood Dong Shu's mood at this time. Seeing her like this, she sighed and didn't speak again.

The soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade are not comparable to the soldiers under Ye Jingche.

It didn't take much time for the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade to seize control of the main hall, hand over the weapons of the soldiers, and press them together to wait for Emperor Ruikang to dispose of them.

And this time Ye Jingche, although he knew that all the soldiers under his command had been taken down, he didn't show any panic at all.

He looked at Xu Shiqiu who was walking towards him step by step, and after laughing wildly twice, he looked at Emperor Ruikang who was standing above him and said, "I am not defeated, even if I am dead, I will drag you along, give I will be buried with you!"

Following Ye Jingche's words, several smart people in the hall immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Ye Jingche, could it be that he has made other arrangements?
