Chapter 347 Emperor Mingzong's Death
Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, lightning exploded, and the originally clear sky suddenly turned dark.
Dark clouds were threatening to overwhelm the city, and the rain suddenly started to fall.
Over the years, this season has also been the rainy season, but it has never been as severe as this.
The rain, which is bigger than a bean, pours down like a pouring water.
The hall instantly became dark.
The people in the palace were killed, and no one in the palace lit candles. The remaining people in the palace suddenly saw people following the lightning.
The blood in the temple was flowing more and more, red and black intertwined, and the atmosphere at this moment was strange.
Time also seemed to stand still.
King Xiang insisted not to kill Mingzong, but wanted to keep him to see how Jinkang was destroyed.
However, Chu Mengling insisted on killing the emperor, and his wish was fulfilled for the rest of his life.
Chu Mengling's lifelong concern was his daughter, and he did not agree with King Xiang's extreme methods.
"Ming Cong, just take revenge. The people are innocent after all. How can we destroy the country, humiliate the ancestors, and become a criminal in history?" Chu Mengling was still persuading.
Mingzong originally thought that King Xiang would kill him with one blow, but he didn't expect that. He tried to run away.
Although he had been emperor for many years and his martial arts skills were deteriorating, at the critical moment of escaping for his life, Mingzong was not ambiguous at all.
Originally, King Xiang was still questioning his father-in-law's words in his heart.
But he didn't want to see that Emperor Mingzong actually wanted to run away, so he immediately became angry and left with a sword.
With an angry sword, he struck Mingzong right in the heart.
The cold blade of the sword pierced the chest. I don't know whether it was the cold sword that chilled my heart, or whether the sword was wrapped in my blood.
At that moment, Mingzong suddenly felt that his body was sluggish, his body was heavy and he could no longer support it.
He looked at the sword on his chest and pointed it at Mingzong. After all, he couldn't say a word and fell to the ground.
Seeing Mingzong's death, Chu Mengling suddenly took two steps back and leaned weakly against the pillar.
It's hard to laugh or cry, but he became a regicide after all. They killed the emperor and took revenge.
Looking at the empty hall, I realized that my long-cherished wish was over and I no longer had any worries.
Chu Mengling reached out and took off the helmet he had worn all his life, and placed the helmet in front of Emperor Mingzong in frustration.
The back figure that turned around seemed to have aged ten years, stooped, and his steps were no longer firm.
From now on, there will be no more Duke of Chu in the world!
The next day, King Xiang announced that Emperor Mingzong had passed away, and the queen and all his concubines were buried with him.
Today, the capital is under the control of King Xiang. No one dares to object to what he wants to say.
King Xiang issued a summons, and all civil and military officials came to court.
This court room, which yesterday was dripping with blood and filled with the smell of blood, is now clean and spotless again.
No one knows that blood gathered here yesterday and flowed like a small river.
Everyone thought that King Xiang spent so much time just because he wanted to be the emperor himself.
The dragon chair in the main hall hung empty, and King Xiang had no intention of sitting on it.
He was wearing a black flying-shouldered python robe and was full of majesty.
Someone said: "Prince Xiang was wise and mighty, but now Emperor Mingzong has been brutally murdered. The prince has been deposed, the third prince has rebelled against his superiors, and you are the only one left in the clan with the surname Li. You are the only candidate to succeed him."
When there are dog legs clinging to you like this, more people will start to agree.
Suddenly, except for the silent ones, almost everyone wanted to let King Xiang succeed to the throne.
Some people did not speak, such as Taifu Kuai and the Prime Minister, as well as Li Zhen, who was wearing a dragon robe symbolizing the power of the emperor in the back hall but clenched his fists and felt angry in his heart.
I heard those people shouting in unison for King Xiang to succeed to the throne and to support King Xiang's mountain cry.
Li Zhen gritted her teeth angrily.
Wu Yaxuan, who was also dressed up next to her, gently squeezed his hand and shook her head at him.
