At this moment, one of the women in plain clothes cried out in a mournful voice.
Zhao Xu heard the voice and looked over.
Suddenly, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"You are Rou'er!"
"It's me, Your Majesty!" Concubine Rou trotted over and hugged Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu was confused and asked, "Rou'er, didn't you die in that fire?"
"No." Concubine Rou sighed softly, "Back then, because the Queen targeted me, my personal maid Hua Rui came up with a substitute and died in the fire in my place."
"I see." Zhao Xu was furious when he heard this. "Queen, she did such a good thing!"
"By the way, why didn't you return to the palace in these years?"
Concubine Rou sighed, "Back then, I left the palace and fell off a cliff. I lost my memory, but fortunately I was taken in by a temple and have recovered in the past few days. Sigh... Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Your Majesty is still as charming as before after so many years."
"I'm getting old." Zhao Xu sighed and looked at Ningxiang, "Who is this? Is she my daughter?"
Concubine Rou nodded: "Ningxiang, come and meet your father. What happened back then had nothing to do with your father, so don't bear a grudge against him."
"Ningxiang greets father." Ningxiang stepped forward and bowed.
When Zhao Xu saw his beautiful daughter, he was in good mood. He said three good words in a row and helped Ningxiang up.
"By the way, you just fell from the sky. Could it be that Rou'er, you have become an immortal?"
Concubine Rou shook her head, looking proud: "It's not me, it's Ningxiang. She recently got a chance to become an immortal, and it was because of that chance that I was able to recover my memory."
"Immortal fate?" Although Zhao Xu was middle-aged, he had already experienced the distress of declining physical condition. Hearing this, he immediately became interested and asked the two to sit in the pavilion and chat.
The Royal Guards looked at each other.
I originally thought it was an enemy attack, but I didn't expect it to be your Majesty's divine relatives.
For a moment, I felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart.
Seeing His Majesty and his family reminiscing about the past, the Royal Guards tactfully withdrew, leaving the space for the three of them.
Faced with her father's curiosity, Ningxiang told the whole story, leaving Zhao Xu stunned.
"The world of the heavens?"
"Peach Immortal Fruit?"
"A method to become an immortal?"
Zhao Xu had only thought about these things when he was daydreaming, but he didn't expect that these things actually existed.
"Father, the Emperor Taizu from another world wants to sign a treaty with you to form a Great Song Alliance and advance and retreat together. He said that as long as you agree, he will provide all the subsequent cultivation techniques and resources."
Zhao Xu was excited: "Did Taizu really say that?"
Ningxiang nodded: "Yes. This matter can be contracted in the chat group, and the interests are still guaranteed."
Zhao Xu nodded and remained silent.
After a moment, he said, "I agree to this. Since we are all from the Song Dynasty, there is no problem in advancing and retreating together. Also, although Tianlong is not my son, his mother died for Rouer. Grant him a title and let him enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor."
"Rou'er, what do you think?"
Concubine Rou looked gentle and said, "Everything is up to your Majesty."
"As for the queen, she will be demoted to a commoner, and the matter of the past will be investigated again. Rou'er, I will definitely seek justice for you." Zhao Xu was very straightforward and made a decision on the spot, "Ningxiang, what do you think?"
"Let's do as our father says." Ningxiang had no objection.
She was of a calm temperament, and even though she knew what had happened back then, she did not rush to Bianliang to seek revenge.
She hated the queen.
But not such deep hatred.
After all, she didn't experience what happened back then firsthand.
The eyewitness was the mother.
If her mother has no objection, she naturally won't have any objection.
"Come here! Queen Xuan and the Crown Prince are here to see you!"
moment.
The Queen arrived with the Crown Prince in a strange mood. When she saw Concubine Rou sitting next to the Emperor, she was shocked as if she had seen a ghost.
"Queen, I already know everything that happened back then. What else do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you are talking about!" The Queen was stubborn and refused to admit it.
Zhao Xu snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. I hereby declare that from now on, the Queen's position will be taken away and she will be demoted to a commoner. The matter of that year will be investigated. When the evidence is conclusive, the punishment will be enforced according to the law. No leniency will be given."
"Father!" The prince's face changed and he pleaded quickly.
Zhao Xu snorted coldly, "Don't say more about this matter. Prince, what happened back then involved a lot of things. I have already found out that you are not my flesh and blood, but the son of the palace maid Hua Rui. However, considering Hua Rui's loyalty to her master and protecting Concubine Rou's safety, I will specially confer you the title of Founding Prince."
Founding son?
After hearing this, the prince felt as if he had been struck by 687 thunderbolts and was completely numb.
There are six ranks of nobility in the history: king, duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron.
The title of Viscount was the second-to-last rank of nobility. Although it was not low, it was four ranks lower than the position of Crown Prince.
Moreover, once this title was conferred and announced to the world, it would mean that he was no longer eligible for the throne of emperor.
"No, Father, I am your biological son."
"Someone, take him down to sober him up."
Zhao Xu didn't hesitate at all.
Since he was not his biological son, his love for the prince almost disappeared in an instant.
"Father, since you are unkind, then forgive me for being unjust!"
Seeing that the Imperial Guards were about to rush over, the prince's eyes turned red, and he used his lightness skills to rush towards Zhao Xu.
In the prince's opinion, the two weak women in front of him, plus the not-so-young Zhao Xu, were definitely no match for him.
As long as he could hold the emperor hostage and then forge an imperial edict to proclaim himself emperor, everything could still be saved.
boom!
The next moment, the prince flew backwards and was embedded in the ground, unable to move.
"This……"
He raised his head with difficulty and saw the old woman sitting next to the emperor clapping her hands gently, as if she had done something insignificant.
"Someone! Capture him and put him in jail!"
Originally he wanted to treat him well, but it turned out that this adopted son actually wanted to attack him. Zhao Xu immediately became angry.
The imperial guards stepped forward, tied up the former crown prince, and took him away.
Chapter 382 Zhezong meets Song Taizu, and the princes collapse (7/7, please subscribe)
Within one day, the queen and the crown prince were deposed one after another, and suddenly, the entire officialdom was in an uproar.
Some princes, in particular, became active in their minds.
The current emperor has no son, which means there is no one to succeed the throne. Their chance has come.
Some ministers also had other ideas in their minds and thought about joining the so-called next emperor.
But in the palace, Zhao Xu didn't have too many ideas. He just wanted to meet with Emperor Taizu of Song and get the immortality technique first.
If he can live forever, does he still need a so-called prince?
No need at all!
"Father, actually, I can also teach you how to practice." Ningxiang said.
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "With the support of our ancestors, we should save as much as possible."
Ningxiang was speechless after hearing this.
The world is different. You can call your ancestors so affectionately.
"My dear daughter, you don't understand. Calling someone an ancestor can give you the secret of immortality. There are many people in the world who want to call him that." Zhao Xu said calmly, "Besides, even if he is Emperor Taizu of Song from another world, he is indeed my ancestor in name."
Ningxiang nodded, said something in the chat group, and then enabled the time-travel permission.
The next moment, Zhao Kuangyin arrived.
"Greetings, ancestor!" Zhao Xu stepped forward to pay his respects without any reluctance.
Zhao Kuangyin was in a good mood and began to discuss the matter of the two world contracts with Zhao Xu.
With Ningxiang as a member of the chat group, the interests of this world are naturally protected.
The two chatted for a while and quickly negotiated the contract and reached a cooperation intention.
In the end, Zhao Kuangyin left behind his skills and elixirs and returned to his own world.
It was not until Zhao Kuangyin left that Zhao Xu showed excitement on his face. After giving some instructions, he went into the quiet room and began to practice.
It took half a day.
When Zhao Xu came out of seclusion, his appearance had changed drastically, from a middle-aged man to a teenager, and he had regained his youth.
More importantly, his strength has reached the realm of true energy, and every move he makes is extremely powerful.
In this world, he is invincible.
"Send the order, summon all the ministers to the audience!"
At one command, all the ministers in the court gathered together.
Then, when the ministers saw the unrealistically young emperor walking towards them on the air, they all felt sick.
This world does have martial arts and light skills.
However, Qinggong also has to follow basic rules, and it is impossible to walk slowly in the air.
Think about the previous rumors again - your majesty's daughter was born into an immortal family and descended from the sky.
The ministers were immediately excited.
"I thought it was fake news, a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Your Majesty, has he also obtained the fate of an immortal?"
Looking at Zhao Xu, everyone wanted to get an answer.
Zhao Xu sat on the dragon throne and looked at the ministers below.
"A few days ago, Concubine Rou brought Princess Ningxiang back from the folk!"
"Princess Ningxiang has gained the chance to become an immortal, and I have also benefited from it. Now, I still have several hundred years to live, and you don't have to worry about the problem of no one to carry on the throne."
After hearing this, some of the ministers felt quite embarrassed.
They just found a new home.
As a result, the emperor said that he had lived for several hundred years.
With such a long life span, which prince or minister could survive it?
"Your Majesty is indeed the Son of Heaven, blessed with great fortune, and has actually obtained the fate of an immortal."
"Long live your majesty!"
Everyone started to flatter him, and as for the so-called next buyer, it was of course thrown out of the window.
"Ministry of Justice, investigate what happened to the Queen back then and execute her according to the law."
"Ministry of War, select 30,000 good family men. I want to teach them the magic. Form the Heavenly Army of the Song Dynasty."
After that, everyone looked at each other.
Can those soldiers also teach magic?
"If you handle this matter well, it will also benefit you. Immortality and immortality are not impossible." Zhao Xu naturally understood what everyone was thinking. He just glanced at them and said calmly.
