King of Song

Chapter 699 Chapter [-] Fire Phoenix

Zhao Zhao was very fortunate to enter Bianjing City before Zhao Xu's so-called enthronement ceremony.

Just like Gao Taotao's wishful thinking, once little Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he would be named the emperor. Although his grandfather and father were not in the right position, they would leave a mark in history after all.

How did it end?Let Zhao Xu give way to himself?
Grandpa takes grandson's throne?This is not very good, even if the reason is clear, but if it is not complete, some people will misunderstand it. If you write a few random strokes in the unofficial history notes, after a hundred years, there is no innocence above the green history?

If Gao Taotao was posing as a voluntary abdication, how should he respond?Have to thank him for his high morals?Then treat the deposed emperor Zhao Xu as king?In the next few decades, when the son or even the grandson succeeds to the throne, but beware of him and his grandchildren, they will not sleep peacefully...

Are you kidding me?
When I issued the ultimatum, I made it clear that if I abdicate in the name of Zhao Xu, then there is no problem, it can be tolerated, and they can be treated favorably.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu persisted until his death, and always kept the title of emperor.Since you care so much, it will make you lose it completely.This is what the ultimatum said. If it is not implemented, will it damage the prestige and credibility of King Qin?

It was the time when the king came to the world, and what he needed most was to convince his courtiers. Zhao Zhao didn't mind taking Gao Taotao as a model.

If you are willing to bet, you should admit defeat, no wonder yourself!
As for Zhao Xu's sons...

Taking advantage of Shi Jianfei's vacancy to inform the officials, Zhao Zhao decided to go secretly to Funing Hall first.

When stepping into the bedroom that belonged to Empress Song, Zhao Zhao saw that Empress Xiang was hugging a few and still shivering.

One of the older children was wearing a yellow robe, which seemed to be a miniature dragon robe, he should be Zhao Xu!If he doesn't go to the city, he will be hugged by his grandmother and sit on the dragon chair of Emperor Song.

It's a pity that he has no chance, but the little guy is not sorry and is having fun.He didn't know the danger at all. On the contrary, he was a little excited and curious. Looking at Zhao Zhao who was walking towards him with innocent eyes, he smiled lightly, revealing his snow-white deciduous teeth, very cute!

Zhao Zhao also smiled back at this lovely child's greeting.

Empress Xiang was terrified in her eyes, subconsciously took the child into her arms, her trembling calves betrayed the fear in her heart.

She had to be afraid, King Qin had already entered the city, and now he had stepped into the palace, the throne was already his.Then the original prince, the son of the previous emperor, would undoubtedly become an obstacle or threat to shake his throne.According to the historical tradition, it must be dealt with quickly, and there is no discussion about this kind of thing.

I hate the queen!She somewhat blamed her mother-in-law, Gao Taotao, for her husband was willing to agree to King Qin's ultimatum.But she insisted on going her own way and took four young children to be buried with her.After complaining is duty, she blamed herself for being too cowardly, for having no ability to contend with her mother-in-law, not even the courage to fight.

Seeing Zhao Zhao walking in, Queen Xiang naturally thought that the lives of the children had come to an end.Maybe my daughter can survive, but these boys are afraid...

"Uncle Huang, please let the children go, they are innocent!" Empress Xiang fell to her knees in front of Zhao Zhao with a plop, and kowtowed in tears to plead for mercy.It's too late now, all I can do is beg for mercy.Regardless of whether there is a chance, Queen Xiang wants to try it.

Zhao Zhao didn't answer directly, but glanced over, and said lightly: "Three, one is not here, is it Zhao Ji?"

"He...he..." He hesitated to the queen, unable to respond.That is the last hope, maybe the husband's child can only keep this one.

"Xuanhuafang, Dongjia Lane North Fifth, there are two big willow trees in front of the gate!"

Zhao Zhao's words, like a thunderclap on the ground, completely shattered the last hope and confidence of Queen Xiang.

"Uncle Huang, please, give the child a way out!" Empress Xiang was really scared. If all four children were lost, her husband would lose all children and grandchildren.The future has come to the underworld, how should I explain to him?

"Life, do you think they can only be dead?" Zhao Zhao snorted coldly, "In your eyes, this king is such a person?"

"Uncle Emperor..." Empress Xiang shook her body, as if she had heard hope, and immediately looked at Zhao Zhao in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe it. After a long time, she tried: "Uncle Emperor, you mean that you will let them go, don't you?" ?”

At the end of the conversation, Queen Xiang burst into tears again, but this time it should be tears of joy.

"Children are innocent, how can I deal with it?" Zhao Zhao's words are true. If you want to ascend to the throne, you need to be ruthless.But he really couldn't do it to a few young children, which was against humanity and the most basic conscience.So in this matter, Zhao Zhao is willing to do a little bit of womanly benevolence.

He was already a little uneasy when the 37 courtiers destroyed their families, so when he came to Zhao Xu's sons, he couldn't harden his heart.Especially when he saw their innocent smiles, he thought that his sons were also at the same age.And the attitude towards the queen, shouldn't this sincere mother be comforted?

It's okay to be kind, but it must be dealt with comprehensively. It's not good to leave hidden dangers for yourself.

"Uncle Huang is willing to give them a way out?" Empress Xiang burst into tears, perhaps weeping with joy, a little surprise appeared on her inconceivable face.

Zhao Zhao said in a deep voice: "It's not that this king gave them a way out. I have nothing to say about this matter. It's you and the people in the world who are willing to give them a way out!"

"My niece and daughter-in-law are dull, please tell the emperor clearly?" Empress Xiang was a little confused, he obviously didn't understand the connotation of Zhao Zhao's profound words.

Zhao Zhao said frankly: "You should know what the nephews of the previous emperor mean. Whether they have their own ambitions or speculators take advantage of their identities, it is a terrible thing. I don't want to have any troubles. "

Queen Xiang knew that the most direct way to relieve future troubles was massacre. Since Zhao Zhao said to give them a way out, he definitely would not do so.Just where is the way out?

Zhao Zhao sighed: "So, in the end, it's to make people completely stop thinking about it, do you understand?"

"Uncle, what should I do?"

"Do you know? I was outside the city a few days ago. If I can break the city, what do I want Zhao Xu to do?"

"surrender?"

"Surrender or commit suicide directly!" Zhao Zhaodao: "I don't want to leave a provocative statement for the people of the world, and I don't want someone to come out under the banner of him or these children in the future. A chance for a child, you know?"

"Uncle Huang wants me to..." Empress Xiang seemed to understand something.

Zhao Zhao said in a low voice, "For example, the Palace of Funing was burned to ashes in the fire... Although it was renovated two years ago, I don't like it, so I want to renovate it. It's so clean and convenient!"

"Yes, and then?" Queen Xiang's voice trembled, how to burn the fire was too important.

"You can stay, and so can your daughter, and you can even give her a good background in the future." Zhao Zhao said, "But these four boys must be thought to have died in the fire. But... from then on After that, you will never see them again, and they will never know their origins."

"Ah..." She understood Zhao Zhao's meaning, and she still felt a little scared to the empress when she thought of the separation of flesh and blood.

Zhao Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will ensure their safety, let them grow up safely and live happily, what do you think?"

Queen Xiang hesitated, after all, the child was leaving, and she was still a little worried.

"Trust me, then make a deal. This is the only solution." What Zhao Zhao gave was a standard contract, with only the choice of signing or not, and there was no room for negotiation on the content of the contract.

Hesitating for a moment to the queen, he said in a low voice: "The emperor's character is naturally unquestionable. If the emperor wants them to die, he can do it without any effort. Why bother to talk to me so much? It's so hypocritical and costly." What about Zhou Zhang? So my niece and daughter-in-law believe in you, please ask the uncle to treat the children kindly, I am very grateful!"

"Don't worry, no matter what, they are all descendants of Emperor Taizong." Zhao Zhao sighed softly, "I will leave the matters here to you, and someone will come to handle these matters later, and wait for the children to leave. You can say goodbye to them." Yes, but before that, you have to find a scapegoat, don't implicate me, your reputation, understand?"

"Yes!" Kowtowed to the Queen, and when he raised his head again, Zhao Zhao's footsteps had gone far away.

Empress Xiang burst into tears, and was happy to win the chance of life for several children.But... She stepped forward to carefully look at the smiling faces of each child, stroked their soft little faces, and tried hard to remember them.The children are going away from me, this is the last time I see them, and I can't get enough of them at this time.

Zhao Xu's innocent little eyes rolled around, looking at the queen and giggling, completely unaware that the mother and son were about to part.

"Son, watch carefully, remember your empress's appearance..."

As soon as the words came out, Xiang Huang hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, never remember what your empress looks like, who you are, and who you are. Although the world is far apart, your empress will love you, and I only hope that you will grow up safely. !"

After the guards of Mingyue Sect carried the child away, Xiang Empress silently walked towards the candlestick, pushed it lightly, and the kerosene sprinkled on the curtain.The flames dimmed at first, but did not go out, and then rose up Lao Gao, engulfing the entire Palace of Funing in an instant.

But Queen Xiang never went out, just stood silently in the hall like a phoenix.There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she could finally meet her husband with peace of mind...

The flame danced, and the queen seemed to see several children smiling at her, so innocent and so cute.With the child's innocent smile echoing in his ears, Huo Fenghuang slowly closed his eyes...
