Chapter 340 The little prince is so milky
Luo Ning looked soft, but his temper was quite tough. Now that he has shouldered the responsibility, he will try his best to do well. He has accumulated a lot of court affairs, but after the court is cleaned up, it is easier to cultivate talents who are loyal to him.
Luo Ning is learning the art of being an emperor bit by bit. He chased the ducks to become a prince, and he is very likely to become an emperor in the future. Even the prince, he has more right to speak only if he goes higher, not to mention he has not found a suitable successor, so he can only stay in this position.
Luo Ning was very busy, and stayed up all night to review the memorials after he went to court. With the teachers like the Tai Tuo around, he would go to ask for advice when he was undecided.
While liquidating Prime Minister Liu, he was also helping Pei Ling's family reverse the case, and he already had some evidence.
Now that Prime Minister Liu is pushing everyone down, naturally no one is helping Prime Minister Liu to cover up the traces of the past. It is much easier to collect evidence, and soon the framing many years ago was exposed.
It caused an uproar among the crowd. After all, General Zhao back then was a general who protected the country.
And such a loyal veteran was suddenly found out one day to be collaborating with the enemy and traitorous, and everyone didn't believe it.
After all, the dragon robe was indeed found in General Zhao's mansion, but now it is discovered that it was all the evil deeds committed by Prime Minister Liu. As a result, an old general with great military exploits was accused of being a traitor and died in battle. The people at home have no good results.
If this old case hadn't been uncovered, the Zhao family would have been stigmatized as traitors and condemned to death on the pillar of shame. General Zhao would not be able to rest in peace even when he was in hell.
Pei Ling's eyelashes trembled, and the slightly trembling hands in the armholes showed his inner unrest at the moment. His usually dark and deep eyes were slightly red, his lips were pursed tightly, his heart was sour and astringent, almost out of breath.
The corners of Pei Ling's eyes were red, and he wanted to smile, but he couldn't. He leaned against the table with difficulty, covering his eyes with his fingers to hide the turbulent emotions.
His parents and elder brother have finally washed away their humiliation, they can behave in an upright manner, and they have also recovered their past achievements.
Pei Ling had waited for this day for too long, and his bones were aching. He used to rely on hatred to survive, but now he also has someone to protect.
Looking fixedly at Luo Ning, Pei Ling walked forward slowly, lowered his body slightly, hugged Luo Ning from behind, tightly wrapped around Luo Ning's waist, and buried his face in Luo Ning's. In the fossa of the neck, the color of the eyes is slightly dark.
Breathing lightly on Luo Ning's skin, Luo Ning was so ticklish that she avoided it, turned around, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Pei Ling's expression was complicated. He understood that His Highness would not help the Zhao family reverse the case for no reason. He must have known something, and he also noticed something strange. I don't know how His Highness learned about it, but it was indeed a kindness to him. The truth was revealed. After he came out, the other party never asked him a word.
Pei Ling met those beautiful eyes full of worry and trust, his heart was so soft that it would melt into a pool of water, and he whispered gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness."
As soon as Luo Ning heard it, she understood what Pei Ling meant. He didn't ask any more questions in front of Pei Ling. Now that Pei Ling had a new life, he wasn't sure if Pei Ling was still willing to face the past.
The corners of Pei Ling's lips curled up slightly, "Your Highness should have known it a long time ago. My name is Zhao Ling. I survived ten years ago and entered the palace with a concealed identity. This is also considered a crime of deceiving the emperor. Please forgive me for my servant's dissatisfaction." Frank."
His Highness put all his trust in him, but he failed to report the same sincerity, Pei Ling felt a little guilty.
Luo Ning held his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I understand your situation, no matter what your surname is, you are my brother."
"We are family, and the past lives in memories. You still have me, I still have you, and the days to come will be better and better."
Pei Ling hugged Luo Ning tightly, his thin lips slid across Luo Ning's neck, his lowered eyes were deeply infatuated, he sighed softly, and asked aloud: "Your Highness, if the slave wants to return What about Zhao Ling?"
Luo Ning nodded, "It's okay, as long as you think, I will support you anyway."
"Then what if the slave wants to go to the army?"
Luo Ning suddenly raised her head and stared at Pei Ling's face with a panicked expression, "Why? Is it bad in the palace?"
He was used to getting along with Pei Ling day and night, never thought that one day, Pei Ling would leave his side.
What would he do without Pei Ling?
Luo Ning grabbed Pei Ling's sleeve tightly in horror. This was too sudden for him, and he was not mentally prepared for it at all.
Pei Ling touched Luo Ning's face reassuringly. He was also reluctant to leave His Highness, but His Highness is now a prince, and will be a high-ranking emperor in the future, but he is just a small eunuch. He is not worthy to stand by His Highness's side. Like rats in the gutter.
He has another feeling for His Highness, and he also wants to stand in front of His Highness with the best posture, and even one day he can openly express his feelings to His Highness, and now he has avenged himself.
But Pei Ling is still eager to climb up. He hopes that one day he can also become His Highness's backing and reliance.
Pei Ling suppressed the extravagant hopes in his heart, smiled and explained: "Your Highness, the Zhao family is full of loyalists. If my father is still alive, he would also want me to join the army. I want to do my best to realize their wishes."
Luo Ning was stunned, and then agreed, feeling very uncomfortable, but he respected Pei Ling's thoughts, staying in the palace, Pei Ling might not be happy, such a small space would only break Pei Ling's wings, Pei Ling should fly to a higher place, he should not restrain Pei Ling.
The reluctance in his heart surged, Luo Ning hugged Pei Ling, the tip of his nose turned red, he was very dependent on Pei Ling, it seemed that he had to learn to be independent as soon as possible, so as not to be too afraid of being alone.
Half a month later, Emperor Cheng Ming, who was seriously ill in bed, couldn't stand it any longer. In the palace, his breathing gradually became weak and rapid. Emperor Cheng Ming fell asleep more and more, his eyes were cloudy, and he was terribly thin.
He was already in poor health, and coupled with the accumulation of stagnant energy, even if Emperor Cheng Ming's condition was to hang himself for a hundred years, his vitality would become weaker and weaker.
When the critical moment came, Emperor Cheng Ming didn't have time to think about those powers, he only hoped that he would live longer.
But after realizing that life is passing by, from being nervous and fearful to now being delirious, I don't have too many extra thoughts.
He even thought that it would be nice to just fall into a deep sleep without pain or itching.
One day in the middle of the night, the imperial eunuch went to see Emperor Cheng Ming, only to find that Emperor Cheng Ming was pale, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he stepped forward to detect Emperor Cheng Ming's breathing, and he was silent, not breathing at all.
The imperial eunuch fell to the ground, got up in a hurry, walked out of the bedroom with red eyes, knelt down on the ground, and mournfully shouted: "Your Majesty is dead!"
Luo Ning hurriedly got up, the lights were brightly lit that night, and the whole court mourned for three days, Luo Ning also had to stay in the Tai Chi Hall, wearing hemp and mourning for seven days.
The concubines and concubines kneeling in a circle around them, as well as some princes and princesses, all bowed their heads and wore white clothes. They knelt in front of Emperor Chengming's coffin one by one, looking sad and sobbing.
Although Emperor Chengming left and they had no backing, they were not so afraid. After all, the prince has always been humble and gentle, so he would not make things difficult for them.
A concubine who is more Buddhist, thinking of being a concubine in the future, does not have to intrigue, plant flowers and plants, play with cats and dogs, and live in peace and security. This kind of life is not bad. Ambitious concubines, of course, do not want to be widowed and want to control the power of the harem , but Emperor Cheng Ming was gone, no matter how unwilling they were, it would not help.
After the first seven days, Emperor Chengming was going to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Luo Ning didn't let those concubines go to be buried with him. Only some concubines who had committed serious mistakes would live in the temple next to the imperial mausoleum.
It took a long time for the gloomy atmosphere to dissipate.
Luo Ning's enthronement ceremony was also found on a suitable date.
On that day, Luo Ning changed into a bright yellow dragon robe, outlined with gold thread, carefully embroidered with majestic dragons, and embellished with pearls.
Pei Ling combed his hair for him, with a gentle look on his face, "From today on, Your Highness is the king of a country."
He was fortunate to be able to witness this side, and he felt proud and bitter at the same time. The king of a country means that he has a heavy responsibility from now on. His Highness has to bear a lot of things, and I am afraid it will become very hard.
Luo Ning smiled slightly, and leaned against Pei Ling, "Brother, don't worry about me."
He has already made preparations, and he will move forward resolutely. There are so many people vying for the throne, and it is his luck that it falls on his head.
Think about it, being an emperor is quite cool, this is a new experience for Luo Ning.
Of course, such a grand ceremony procedure is very cumbersome, wearing grand and complicated clothes, climbing up a hundred steps, holding an enthronement ceremony on the observatory platform, and accepting the worship of hundreds of officials.
Then he went to the Tai Chi Hall to issue the latest decree, which usually rewards meritorious ministers and plans the relocation of some official positions. For such major events, the world should also be amnesty, including criminals and some tax cuts, to show the benevolence of the new emperor. .
As a matter of fact, he became the emperor and had more power in his hands. Luo Ning began to make arrangements, helped Pei Ling change his identity, and then announced in the court that he had found General Zhao's orphan. General Zhao was no longer there. As compensation, Pei Ling this The only son inherited the title of General Zhao. The former Zhao family mansion was meticulously repaired by craftsmen, and a steady stream of rewards flowed into the Zhao family mansion.
From then on, there was one less entourage around the prince, and a new general in the court.
Realizing that the family members of the Zhao family are growing, and that the orphan of General Zhao is highly valued by the crown prince, the officials in the court act accordingly and treat Pei Ling very well. Some people who have seen Pei Ling know that Pei Ling was hidden in the palace before, They didn't dare to say more, this is General Zhao's orphan that His Majesty said, how could they say so, so as not to provoke His Majesty's arrest, and held it in their hearts.
