Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 590: Entering the imperial study, Fan Zhixuan’s showdown

"You came."

In the imperial study, Emperor Mingkang did not burn incense to worship his ancestors, but stood in the back hall and looked at a map hanging on the wall.

Fan Zhixuan saw no one in the front hall and felt a little strange. When she stepped into the back hall, she saw Emperor Mingkang standing next to the map.

"I, my concubine, pay my respects to the Emperor."

Fan Zhixuan didn't say much, she knelt down and gave a blessing.

Emperor Mingkang did not turn around, he was still looking at the map. It seemed that there was a peerless beauty on it, even more beautiful than the person behind him.

Fan Zhixuan glanced at Emperor Mingkang, then did not continue to stare. Instead, she lowered her eyes, looked at Emperor Mingkang's heels, and began to wander.

A man and a woman are alone in a room. One is the most noble man in the world, and the other is the most noble woman in the world.

But the two of them were like two strangers, and there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between them.

The two of them stood like this for about a cup of tea. Emperor Mingkang looked at the map that was hung high by the light in the room, and Fan Zhixuan kept her eyes lowered, wandering around. During this period, the two of them said nothing. explain.

In the end, it was Emperor Mingkang who broke this deadly silence.

"Queen, do you think the champion has been killed?"

In a quiet room, a cough would be extremely harsh, let alone a word!

Fan Zhixuan naturally heard this sentence, but she did not answer immediately. She had never underestimated Emperor Mingkang.

Before he fully took control of the entire court, she already knew that Emperor Mingkang was not as weak as the outside world saw him. He was tolerant. There was a supreme emperor standing above his head, a bunch of nobles flexing their teeth and claws, and several ministers. Still constrained, there isn't much he can do.

If we say that it was Lin Ruhai's strong recommendation that Jia Qi was awarded the title back then, it would be better to say that it was because of his rejection of everyone's opinions. However, Jia Qi did not disappoint him afterwards.

That was a reward that far exceeded his expectations. For him, the winner of that gamble was not Jia Qi, who wore the title of champion, nor the Jia family, but him, who was already in danger in the power struggle.

So now, with troops approaching the city, what does Emperor Mingkang expect? You may know this question without even thinking about it.

The army outside successfully suppressed the rebellion, what Jia Qi brought back was as magical as he said, Dakang was able to survive the next cold winter, and he was able to leave a name for him as an emperor through the ages.

So what does Jia Qi's life and death at this time mean to him?

If Jia Chu is still alive and has not stepped forward to quell the feudal chaos caused by him, for Dakang Sheji, Jia Chu will be the first to bear the brunt of this battle. Of course, this means that the current army of the imperial court Able to disintegrate the rebellions of these major feudal kings.

The other is that Jia Qi was really killed, and what happens after that may become unpredictable. The direction of this rebellion is unpredictable. There are still a few restless princes in the court, the Xungui Group, and the Nine-Border Town will become unstable factors that may explode at any time.

"Didn't the Emperor already have the answer in his heart?"

Fan Zhixuan did not express her opinion. If Emperor Mingkang really wanted his opinion, there would only be one, but she would never say that maybe Dakang was overthrown by the four rebels, and nothing would happen to the young man.

Emperor Mingkang chuckled.

He didn't seem to expect that Fan Zhixuan would give him such a specious answer. But is this answer okay for him? Of course it is possible. As the lord of the world, he has never cared about other people's answers.

Those who receive orders from heaven will live long and prosperous lives.

The emperor originally held the power of life and death for thousands of living beings in the world. If Jia Qi was not special, then if he said that the other party was alive, then the other party would definitely not die.

"Poor at midnight, I don't ask people to ask ghosts and gods."

"Queen, do you think I am a foolish king?"

Fan Zhixuan raised her hand slightly to cover up. It was obvious that Emperor Mingkang heard what she said outside the room. Although she felt that the sound was not loud, she never thought that there was no sound at all in the room.

"Don't dare."

Fan Zhixuan didn't try to quibble. She had already been caught on the scene, and there was no point in trying to quibble anymore, so she could only apologize obediently.

"Don't dare."

When Emperor Mingkang heard these two words, he subconsciously repeated them. Does he believe in immortals? Those who don’t believe it, because they haven’t seen it, and what they hear is false and what they see is true. If there are really gods in the world, why is there no one who appears when he sees that Da Kang is in ruins now?

In other words, even if there really are gods and Buddhas all over the sky in this world, he still hates those gods and Buddhas all over the sky. When has it ever been useful to build a golden body and worship there every day? If it was useful, why would there be people dying of hunger and corpses everywhere today?

The word "dare not" is actually very interesting. The meaning expressed by Fan Zhixuan is that he believes in ghosts and gods, he is a foolish king, and she does not dare to refute.

"I dare not."

Emperor Mingkang felt disappointed, then turned around and looked at his queen and Fan Zhixuan.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and then he spoke again.

"Aren't you afraid that I will destroy you!!"

Obviously, Emperor Mingkang heard the underlying meaning of Fan Zhixuan's words.

Fan Zhixuan shook her head.

"At this time, who does the emperor think is the best candidate for the queen? Is it me, a helpless yellow-faced woman?? No heirs, no step-children, sufficient qualifications, no trouble, I am afraid that the next queen will be the emperor You may not be satisfied!”

Emperor Mingkang frowned after hearing this.

What Fan Zhixuan said makes sense. It is not easy to be a queen today. The queen is not a concubine, but represents the mother of a country. No matter what she says or does, she has great weight.

"Of course, I am also afraid, but I believe that with the emperor's wisdom, he will not abolish the throne. At this time, the emperor will definitely not cause any trouble."

"I am a queen in name only. The emperor has never come to Kunning Palace to rest for half a day. In fact, the emperor has long disliked me! If possible, the position of queen should belong to another sister! It's just that she can't bear this big mouth. pot."

Emperor Mingkang did not deny that Fan Zhixuan was Fan Yuanhe's daughter. If it were not for the purpose of consolidating the imperial power, he would not have led the wolf into the house, and would even find a reason to kill them all.

"Now that the emperor knows it, I will go down first!"

Fan Zhixuan no longer plans to stay here for a long time. Since the emperor knows the situation outside at a glance, there is no need for him to talk about it. However, for the support of the Jia family, it still depends on Emperor Kang's thoughts.

"Since ancient times, the king's heart has been unpredictable."
