Chapter 536
Lu Mingxuan sneered secretly, Concubine Luo Gui naturally wanted to use Ling Mengqi in a prominent position, but the person who will be the emperor in the future is not Concubine Luo Gui, but King Ning who wants to put Ling Mengqi to death, is she ignorant and wise?

He almost couldn't help telling Mrs. Lu about King Ning's treatment of Ling Mengqi.

But when the words came to his lips, he still held back. There were already too many things that made her unhappy in the past year, so why should he make her worse and make her even more unhappy?It doesn't help to tell her anyway.

He just smiled and said: "I hope it will be like what your old man said, brother Ling can really get through all the hardships so far!"

Ling Mengqi really came to the Kongcui Pavilion in the evening, and when he saw Lu Mingxuan, he told about Tang Shoufu's forced resignation with a serious face, "...now that Murong Heng's appointment as the crown prince is a certainty, our future road , it must be even more difficult to leave!"

Lu Mingxuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "The old lady has already told me in the daytime, but can we really just sit and wait like this? Is there nothing that can be done by His Royal Highness Duan Wang? There is also the Queen and Duke An's mansion, can it be Can you really just watch King Ning being established as the crown prince and become the meat on King Ning's chopping board?"

"Prince Duan really doesn't dare to act rashly right now." Ling Mengqi frowned and shook his head and said, "Murong Ke's lesson from the past is there. He is worried that once he reveals that he has the intention to compete for the crown prince, the emperor will immediately treat Murong Ke as he did before. Treating him like that, his original words were that he really wanted to be the emperor, but he didn't want to be an emperor who will be infamous for thousands of years. So these days, his people only dared to beat the side drum occasionally in the court, to see if they could make the people of An Guogong's faction simply I took advantage of the situation and pushed him to the top position, just picking up a ready-made bargain, but now it seems that this ready-made bargain is really hard to pick up!"

After a pause, he continued: "As for the empress and Duke An's mansion, what can we do if we don't compromise? Can't we just wait to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Tang Ge? At that time, Duke An will only have an empty name left, but it's true. It can only be mermaid meat!"

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan was silent for a long time before sighing: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, it is useless for us to worry about it and suffer. Why not think about the bright side, the emperor and the imperial concubine are still young, so we can say less There is one who can live well for 20 years, who knows what will happen in these 20 years? It's like the eldest prince... We were worried about something, but now he can't pose any threat to us? Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, I believe that God will not let the bad people have good rewards, and the good people will suffer instead!"

Ling Mengqi wanted to say sorry to Lu Mingxuan again, if he had allowed her to follow Zhao Yanjie back then, why would she be so eclipsed day and night that she couldn't sleep at night, desperately trying to find a way out in the cracks?
But he didn't want to say such a thing and knew that Lu Mingxuan definitely didn't want to hear it, so he just squinted his eyes and said harshly: "No matter what God arranges, anyway, my life is up to me, just like you said, the two of them at least There are 20 years to live, and I don't believe that in such a long time, I can't fight a bloody road for myself and pave a bright road for our tomorrow!"

At that moment, the two of them said a lot of words to encourage each other, and Ling Mengqi jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Tang Shoufu was accused of being old, and it was a certainty that King Ning would become the crown prince. Not only did Ling Mengqi, Lu Mingxuan, Duan Wang and others lose sleep at night, but for Empress Xu An Guogong and others, it was a sad news like mourning for concubines.

Empress Xu was so angry that she was about to smash her bedroom into a strong wind, and couldn't find a clean and complete place, and then cursed the emperor, Luo Guifei, Chang Guogong He Zhao, and even Gu Meiren in the most vicious language , felt a little more at ease in her heart, and then commanded Nanny Gao viciously: "Send a message to elder brother, so that the green hills will be left without worrying about no firewood, and that cruel and short-lived man is determined to set up that little bastard, so let him immediately That is, don’t go head-to-head with him again, lest the enemy be unscathed, we will lose our vitality first, and one day, this palace will smash the cruel and short-lived mother and son into ten thousand pieces, so that they will never be reborn forever!”

After giving instructions to Nanny Gao, she comforted herself countless times in her heart. This result was already expected by them, but now it’s just a nightmare come true. The blood will serve its purpose, it's really no big deal——I feel better in my heart.

It's just that I still can't get over it, and in the next few days, I don't know how many times I scolded God in my heart for not opening my eyes.

Maybe it's because God was scolded too much and couldn't take it anymore, so he finally had a manifestation, and he drafted the imperial decree for King Lining to be the crown prince under the order of the emperor, and it was only waiting to be sent to the cabinet for all the elders to see , Then sent to the eunuch who held the seal to stamp the big seal to announce to the world, a bad news came: Mount Tai shook!

From ancient times to the present, there have not been a few large or small earthquakes in this world every year. Therefore, although earthquakes are not common to people in the capital, they are not uncommon.

However, it was not other places that were shaken this time, but Mount Tai, which has always been the place where the emperors of all dynasties enshrined Zen. Now that such an important place has been shaken, is it because God feels that there is something unfair in this world, so he is angry up?

Although the emperor thinks that he is the only one, he still can't really care about everything, otherwise the matter of setting up the crown prince will not be settled after so long. Now that God is angry, he must figure out where he should be no?

Then he immediately called the people from Qin Tianjian, and asked him to divination to see why God was angry.

The people of Qin Tianjian worked for a long time, and finally came up with a result that made the emperor and those who supported King Ning very unhappy, but everyone who didn't want King Ning to be a prince liked it: the reason why Mount Tai was shaking at this time was because It should be due to the fact that the emperor insisted that King Li Ning be the crown prince. In other words, King Ning is not the real son of heaven recognized by God!

Mount Tai was shaken, and the result of the divination by Qin Tianjian was based on the fact that King Ning was the heir. To put it bluntly, King Ning was not the real son of heaven recognized by God!

The emperor was naturally very dissatisfied with such a result, angrily reprimanded Qin Tianjian Zhengshi for talking nonsense and scaremongering, and wanted to dismiss the latter from his post and exile.

The envoy of the Qin Tianjian was also a serious Jinshi from the second list, but he had no connections in the past and didn't know how to be an official, so he wasted half a hundred years, and he was still just a fifth-rank idle official. The backbone and arrogance of a scholar are still there. Seeing that he spent so much time divination but ended up like this, he didn't speak nonsense, he was talking according to the hexagram. Just blame him for the crime, how innocent is he?

Immediately, I stabbed my neck, thinking that I have already ended up being dismissed and exiled anyway, no matter how bad it is, it is nothing more than a dead letter. I failed to fulfill my duty as a Jinshi during my lifetime, and set up a government to govern for the people. The remonstrance of death made the emperor take back King Lining as the heir, and it was a well-deserved death. Maybe he could still be famous through the ages. Wouldn't it be a hundred times better than being dismissed and exiled?
