When King Xiang heard what was going on over there, he felt even more proud: "Your Majesty, you see, if you want to pass on the throne now, it's still too late. When the war breaks out, I may not be able to protect you.
"
Lin Chong thought for a while and asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation: "Is Zhou Ze here too?"
King Xiang looked at him with evil intentions: "Could it be that our noble Nine-Five Emperor is actually as good as Long Yang?"
Lin Chong rolled his eyes. He couldn't explain this lunatic.
There was a sound of blunt objects being hit at the door of the main hall, and Lin Chong narrowed his eyes: "This is the Temple of the Former Emperor, how dare you send people to break into the Emperor's Tomb?"
Prince Xiang crossed his arms and sneered: "What your Majesty said is wrong. I am also a member of the royal family. How could I do such a treasonous thing? It is clear that someone in the court colluded with the rebellious party and took the opportunity to cause chaos."
Lin Chong turned his head, and King Xiang could not see his expression, but only heard his helpless voice: "Don't you want to be the emperor? Don't you want me to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of your title? All civil and military officials are outside,
How about we go out and talk things through now?"
Prince Xiang was stunned for a moment, but Lin Chong had already passed him and strode out. He opened the door, and when the Jin Yiwei outside the door saw a trace of panic on his face.
Lin Chong seemed not to have seen them, and continued to move forward without squinting. He stood on the high altar and looked at the chaos below. All the civil and military officials accompanying them did not wear weapons, and the military attachés were punching and kicking everyone.
With angry faces, the civil servants crowded together.
Most people had never seen such a scene, and they were trembling with fear. After all, a few veterans were more knowledgeable, and they stared at the following offended guards without fear.
Seeing Lin Chong and King Xiang walking out together, the old ministers all had worried looks on their faces. Ren Zan was trembling with anger and pointed at King Xiang tremblingly: "I don't think you are a good person, bah,
Sanctimonious hypocrite.”
King Xiang doesn't care what the people below him say. Since ancient times, no one cares about the words of the loser, the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. Teams of soldiers surrounded the altar in an orderly manner, with their silver spears pointed directly at the center.
This scene brought back not-so-distant memories for Lin Chong: "Actually, you were willing to take me in when I was in the most difficult time, and you were willing to send troops to help me fight back. I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. There was no need for us to have such trouble.
It looks like this now.”
King Xiang had no expression on his face: "You have had the noblest blood in your bloodline since you were born, and you are destined to be the one who can rule this country in the future. What about us? Shouldn't we be born inferior to you? It is because of you.
Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, and the people lived a life of displacement. Today, I am not asking you, the emperor, for an explanation, not for myself, but for the countless suffering people of the Ming Dynasty."
Lin Chong nodded: "Maybe, maybe I did something wrong."
"Didn't your Majesty just have something to say? Let's say it now. If you don't want to say it here, then it's okay for us to go back and say it."
Lin Chong turned around and faced the countless people under the altar who looked up at him. These people needed him to trust him and rely on him. For them, he could not lose.
"The king of Xiang, Zhu Yiming, persisted in his obsession and framed Zhongliang with the intention of treason. It is really a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned. He should be sentenced to death row and severely punished."
The veins on King Xiang's forehead popped out: "What did you say?"
Lin Chong chuckled: "Prince Xiang is not old enough to hear what I say." Prince Xiang laughed angrily: "If you don't drink a toast, you will have to drink a fine wine. Since you are so ignorant, you have to show off your quick words.
, just don’t blame me for being rude.”
"When did Prince Xiang ever be polite to me?"
The dense crowd of troops under the altar became tighter, and a group of soldiers quickly came up along the altar to surround Lin Chong.
"Your Majesty, the sacrifice has ended. It's cold, so why not go back to the palace early."
Lin Chongqing didn't move, but still looked straight down. "Do you think that with the double guarantee of the high-ranking official and generous salary you promised plus the threat of life, there is nothing you can't control?"
King Xiang thought he was angry: "You have also seen the ending. I have already said that the outcome was decided from the moment you walked into the hall."
After King Xiang took control of Lin Chong, he terminated the sacrifice and returned to the palace on the grounds that His Majesty was frightened. Lin Chong did not say a word during the whole journey.
The concubines in the palace had already been waiting at the door. When they saw them coming back, they were all pleasantly surprised, as if they could already see a bright future and a beautiful family.
Lin Chong walked away very slowly. He slowly looked at every face that tried his best to hide his joy. When he arrived at the palace, King Xiang was waiting for him to issue an edict to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne.
Lin Chong gave King Xiang a strange look: "Aren't you curious at all about why Mr. Wang didn't follow me around such a big thing as offering sacrifices?"
It's not that King Xiang has never considered this issue. He started thinking about it as soon as Lin Chong appeared at the sacrificial ceremony. However, all the forces are under his control. No matter where Wang Chengen goes to bring in reinforcements, he can't save it. Now
The overall situation has been decided, and King Xiang no longer cares where he is.
He taunted sinisterly: "Is Your Majesty still waiting for a eunuch to lead troops to rescue you? Even the secret guards around you are trapped by me, what can he do? Now he probably sees that the situation has been decided, so he hurriedly involved himself.
Something must have escaped, hahaha.”
Lin Chong spread his hands: "Maybe he really led the troops to break in? It's better not to be too sure about everything."
Prince Xiang was about to retort when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. He couldn't help but frown: "What's going on?"
Soon someone rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, the three major battalions are outside to attack the city." King Xiang raised his eyebrows: "What did you say? The three major battalions? How is it possible that they don't only have 20,000 people? How is it possible?
Can you rush out?"
The young general also looked strange: "My subordinates don't know, but their artillery seems to have changed. Now they can accurately determine the attack range, and it is difficult for us to surround them. They also carry strange daggers and bows."
, it can both attack from a distance and defend. Our troops were originally dispersed, but they took advantage of us when we were unprepared."
King Xiang waved his hand: "Even if their combat power suddenly increased a lot, this palace is not that easy to attack. The troops from the Ministry of War can be mobilized back quickly when they encounter it. When the time comes, they will be attacked from both sides.
People still die without a burial place."
Lin Chong was actually quite tired. Ever since he came here, he had faced the crisis of being usurped countless times.
Thinking that the real Emperor Chongzhen might be hiding somewhere enjoying his leisure at the moment, but he had to face waves of monsters here, he felt even more aggrieved.
