I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 277 Next Steps

However, no matter how absurd and clumsy the method of "recognizing relatives with blood and bones" is, it is a step that Leng Yuanxun must go through before inheriting the great rule.

The poor late emperor was forced to death by his own son when he was critically ill. Today, 20 years later, his remains are carried out from the underground palace more than [-] meters deep to confess blood to his grandson. It is really...

I don't know how the heroic emperor who has dominated his life will feel if he knows it.

Of course, it would take a long time to complete such a grand project as the excavation of the imperial mausoleum, but with the decree of the former emperor and the desolate and resolute testimony of Chen Zhongshi, who has such a high prestige, although it cannot make everyone 100 % believes in Leng Yuanxun's identity, but the current emperor's attempt to usurp the throne is a certainty and irrefutable.

The truth can never be completely destroyed, it is only temporarily concealed, and Leng Yiqing's actions today are tantamount to tearing a gap in the emperor's carefully decorated fig leaf.

These years, the emperor has acted perversely, and his suspicion has become more and more serious. Not only has the people everywhere complained, but the princes and ministers are also trembling, for fear that they will make a wrong move. More importantly, these people are not fools. Such a big commotion in the hall, The Imperial Forest Army outside was indifferent, it can be seen that Leng Yuanxun's people have completely controlled Miyagi, and they don't want to court death, so naturally they will not be unscrupulous.

As for those gangsters who helped the tyrants back then, in line with the principle of 'a rabbit dies like a dog', they were basically cleaned up by the emperor for various reasons these years, and the few remaining were also dealt with calmly by Leng Yuanxun Well, as for Princess An Le's family, they were not invited to this hall today.

Thanks to Leng Yuanxun's exhaustive planning, a palace coup that was enough to stir up a bloody storm ended in such a "gentle" way. As the main culprits of treason, the emperor and queen mother were imprisoned in the clan's mansion. Wait for the Clan Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly determine the sentence before disposing of it, and the harem concubines and related people will also be banned separately.

Leng Yuanxun, the former prince's orphan, was welcomed into the palace together with Qu Lingxu under the joint agreement of several respected old princes in the royal family. Only after the in-laws inspection can he officially inherit the emperor's edict and succeed him as emperor.

Now that the matter has come to this point, everyone knows that the so-called 'inspection' is just a formality. Leng Yuanxun is already the next emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Well deserved.

Faced with such a big change, everyone from the royal family, nobles, civil and military officials, to the ordinary people in the capital was all in panic, fearing that some disaster would happen to them, but one day passed, five days passed, and they still did not see him. Leng Yuanxun made a big move, and the strange atmosphere in the capital gradually dissipated. Some shops that closed their shops with various excuses continued to open and became more and more lively.

The weather is gradually entering deep winter, and because of another heavy snowfall, it is extremely cold. Although some palace people have cleaned up the snow on the ground, leaving only snowdrifts piled up in the corners or deep in the path, still Silently enduring the ruthless sweep of the cold wind, the cold wind seemed to be affected by the atmosphere. Seeing such a weak person to be bullied, he vented his dissatisfaction even more brazenly. Suddenly, countless white whirlpools blew away in the air.

The wind was raging outside the hall, but the inside was as warm as spring. At that time, after dinner, Leng Yuanxun and Qu Lingxu were playing chess with black and white chess pieces in the East Nuan Pavilion of Zhaoyang Palace. Even if the person who traveled through time travels for a few months, their chess skills are still far behind those of Leng Yuanxun. Fortunately, neither of them wanted to compete, and they just passed the time leisurely.

"If you don't drop a piece, I will fall asleep." Seeing that the white piece in Qu Lingxu's hand was still refusing to drop it, Leng Yuanxun took a sip of tea and teased.

"Playing chess is for self-cultivation, you just have to sharpen your patience." Qu Lingxu smiled coquettishly, the ruby ​​buds and gold beads on her hair glistened under the candlelight, and her skin was even more beautiful Snow, dignified and bright.

These days, troubles come one after another. Although Qu Lingxu can't cope with it, but after all, it's hard to worry about it. There are very few times when she can show off her face at ease. Naturally, Leng Yuanxun will not spoil her interest, but only arouses A gentle smile, "Isn't it hard these days? I just feel that the endurance in this life is exhausted."

Under the emperor's laissez-faire these years, the government has long been in chaos. Nuoda's treasury is empty, and the money that can be collected is not enough to feed the horses. Corruption is common among officials at all levels. Yes, to put it bluntly, throwing a brick on the court with your eyes closed and hitting one at random is not a clean official with a clean sleeve.

Due to Leng Yuanxun's temperament, he wished to dismiss all these people and investigate them. But now Beili is eyeing the tiger, and the Red Lotus Sect in Chenxiu City in the southwest is still strong. If so many officials are punished at once, there will be no suitable people to take their place. , It is bound to cause chaos in the court and cause unexpected and serious consequences.

"I know you've endured so much, don't you still have me by your side?" Seeing Leng Yuanxun's deliberate frown, Qu Lingxu couldn't help but chuckle, "We need to eat food one bite at a time, and we have to do one thing at a time." Do one thing at a time, when you plan to use Chen Xiucheng to contain Murong Li, you should know that this is a difficult opponent."

In terms of force and resourcefulness, Chen Xiucheng is not much inferior to Leng Yuanxun, but he also has an advantage that Leng Yuanxun can't match, that is, viciousness.

His viciousness is far higher than that of Leng Yuanxun or even Baili Haochen, and this point can often play a huge role in wars.

Therefore, before Chen Xiucheng was resolved, the court must be stable, it must be stable.

As soon as Chen Xiucheng was mentioned, Leng Yuanxun's sharp-edged face was suddenly covered with a deep haze, and even the hot tea in his hand seemed to lose its temperature in an instant and became icy cold, "After all, it was me wrong."

As early as on the way back to the capital from Beili, Leng Yuanxun received the battle report from the front line, so he naturally knew that Chen Xiucheng used the common people as human shields. An innocent life will not be ruined in vain...

"Of course it's your fault." Qu Lingxu didn't help Leng Yuanxun to shirk his responsibility for fear of being too sad and self-blame like the others. He just nodded seriously, then slowly got up, stretched out his hand to hold the other's slightly cold hand Holding it in the palm of your hand, he said word by word: "With Chen Xiucheng's strength, even if you tried your best that day, you may not be able to get rid of him. He is not a fool. Since he dared to come to the capital openly, he must have left behind. Darkness, we are in the open, if he has an accident, his helper hiding in the court will definitely bring this matter to the emperor. At that time, the time is not yet ripe. Once the emperor makes a murderous attempt, I am afraid that you and I are already in the dark. Hell is over, and we are not gods, so we can't predict what Chen Xiucheng will do, just like now, we don't know what he will do next."

Qu Lingxu seldom said so many things at once, but at this moment, she must let Leng Yuanxun understand that he came to this point only after experiencing countless dangers, and any wrong step in this process will cause him to die. It is the fate of being smashed to pieces.

Or, it is not terrible to be crushed to pieces, what is feared is that after being crushed to pieces, he will have no face to face his ancestors, the Marquis of Huaiyang who sacrificed his own daughter for him.

Even if Leng Yuanxun died, Chen Xiucheng still existed, he would still face Murong Jing and Murong Li, and such tragic wars would still happen.

There will be many more.

And in the DPRK, no one can compete with it.

"I understand." Leng Yuanxun gently took Qu Lingxu into his arms, and after a slight sigh, he continued: "Counting the time, Murong Li and Chen Xiucheng should have received the news. There is going to be an accident."

"You don't have to worry about this." Maybe it was clear to the bystanders, or maybe too much guilt affected Leng Yuanxun's judgment. In short, it was Qu Lingxu who said, "During that fight, Chen Xiucheng ate so much What a shame, he almost didn't even save his life, and with his ruthless temperament, he will definitely not let Murong Li go, so unless he wants to die, he will definitely not passively resist because of the changes in Beijing."

Only by winning the battle can one's life be saved. As for whether the current emperor is in power or Leng Yuanxun is in power, it can only be considered after he comes back alive.

After being told by Qu Lingxu, Leng Yuanxun came back to his senses as if seeing the sun behind the clouds, nodded and said: "This is indeed the truth. Murongli owes those debts, I will settle it with him slowly, and the first thing to be solved right now It's Chen Xiucheng."

The Red Lotus Sect can no longer exist.

"The reinforcements and provisions have been prepared. It is not appropriate for you to leave the capital for the time being. Qing Yang is the best choice." Qing Yang is Leng Yuanxun's first confidant. Now that Leng Yuanxun is the emperor, his status will naturally rise. , was exceptionally promoted to the right general, because Qing Yang's qualifications are still young, many people in the court refused to accept, this war is the best opportunity for him to prove his ability.

"You are considerate in everything, what else can I say?" Leng Yuanxun pampered Qu Lingxu's nose and said with a smile: "Xu'er, sometimes I really feel lucky."

"Oh? Are you glad you married me?" Qu Lingxu pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes full of inquiry.

"Being able to marry you is naturally a lucky thing for Sansheng, but what I want to say is not this." Seeing that Qu Lingxu became more and more confused, Leng Yuanxun didn't keep it secret, but sighed as if he was relieved: "I'm just glad you If you are not a man, if you are in Chen Xiucheng's position, you will definitely be a hundred times more difficult to deal with than him, I am really not sure that I can win against you."
