Chapter 485 So arrogant
Emperor Qingning has not had a peaceful day since he received the news that the Xin father and son were not dead. Now, several living people are standing in front of him, unharmed, and their mental state seems to be much better than his.
He felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles.
I can't wait to see this high-spirited family kneeling down to worship me.
Emperor Qingning cleared his throat and said, "My dear ministers, you have suffered so much! I have felt so guilty these days and nights. Fortunately, you have returned safely. God is watching over you!"
King Zhao smiled politely and said, "Your Majesty, that's not true. We are able to return to the capital now because of your grace. Thank you for your concern."
After Prince Zhao finished speaking, everyone in Prince Zhao's mansion still stood straight, showing no intention of kneeling down.
Emperor Qingning frowned. What was wrong with these people? Why didn't they kneel when they saw the emperor?
Emperor Qingning winked at Zhou Jushan.
Zhou Jushan immediately walked up to Marquis Zhaoping with the tray in his hand and said, "This is the seal of King Zhao."
"From now on, you will be the King Zhao, second only to His Majesty."
As soon as Zhou Jushan finished speaking, the ministers who lined up to welcome Emperor Qingning immediately shouted in unison: "Long live King Zhao!"
In such a grand scene, King Zhao and his family should have kneeled down and replied in unison, "Long live the emperor" to show their loyalty.
——"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
King Zhao Xin Chong said thank you without even bending his waist. He put the seal into his sleeve. Although there was a smile on his face, there was a kind of arrogance that seemed to be fearless.
His son has an army of 200,000, and his daughter-in-law has connections all over the world and is as powerful as a god. Why is he kneeling down to this dog emperor who persecuted his family when he returned to Beijing this time?
He was very patient in not making this dog emperor kneel before his family.
I'm too lazy to pretend, I'm just giving face to the dog emperor.
Jiang Lili also stood straight, looking nonchalant, and was even playing with the agate bracelet in her hand.
Seeing that the usually amiable Xin Chong was now acting like an arrogant official in a TV drama, he was already delighted.
It feels so good to have everyone being so arrogant.
They came back this time to beat up the dog emperor! Create everything!
Let her get arrogant!
The ministers who were lining up on both sides of the emperor to welcome him were dumbfounded.
Is this King Zhao still the humble and introverted Marquis Zhaoping Xin Chong?
What does it mean for the prince to put such an expensive seal directly in his pocket?
What does it mean to accept a reward without showing courtesy?
However, what happened next made the ministers even more dumbfounded.
Xin Cheng, the second son of Xin who was named the Grand Protector, raised his hand and said to Emperor Qingning: "Your Majesty, I am truly sorry."
"Our family has suffered a lot during these three years of exile. The weather in Haizhou is hot and humid. My waist and knees have been injured for three years and cannot be cured. I can't bend my waist or kneel. It hurts like needles every time it rains. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ministers:? ? ?
It is understandable that Prince Zhao and the Princess do not kneel since they are old, but if everyone in the mansion refuses to kneel, that means they are rebelling!
Moreover, looking at the people in Prince Zhao's mansion, they were all full of energy and stood straight. Their posture was even more imposing than that of the emperor. It was impossible to tell that their waist and knee pains were so severe, and they didn't even pretend.
All the ministers were dumbfounded, let alone the emperor involved.
Emperor Qingning clenched his hands under his sleeves into fists, then unclenched them. He wished he could drag everyone in the mansion out and behead them right then and there!
But in public, Xin Cheng repeatedly mentioned the three years of exile. Isn't this implicitly implying that all the illnesses in his body were caused by him?
If I force them to kneel down before me, I will appear narrow-minded and petty.
As the ruler of a country, the emperor of Dasheng, he could not act according to his own ideas and do things as he pleased. Emperor Qingning was so frustrated that he almost vomited blood, but he still had to force a smile to comfort everyone in Zhaowang Mansion: "As long as there is the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects in your heart, it will be fine."
"From now on, people from Prince Zhao's Palace will not need to be polite when they see me."
Emperor Qingning showed a look of deep sorrow and anguish: "How can I blame you! I hope you won't blame me. I was deceived by the treacherous people and made the wrong decision."
"I am so sorry—"
Before Emperor Qingning finished saying the words "I feel extremely guilty", General Xin Che, the prince of Zhao Wang, interrupted him loudly: "Then may I ask, Your Majesty, has the traitor been punished?"
"I heard that the ruthless Yao Chengping is still in the northwest, firmly sitting in the position of Tiger General."
Emperor Qingning was stunned. He had already politely given Prince Zhao's mansion a way out and even stabbed the other party for refusing to be polite. However, the other party took advantage of him and started questioning him directly, interrupting him.
Are you the emperor or am I the emperor? !
Emperor Qingning could only roar in his heart. Now that public opinion and popular sentiment were not on his side, his position was very passive.
"Yao Chengping fabricated evidence to harm our Xin family. I don't know how many loyal soldiers of the Xin family army who served their country with all their heart died because of his slander!"
Jiang Lili followed up Xin Che's words and said loudly: "May I ask everyone, should Yao Chengping be killed?"
Jiang Lili used the loudspeaker on the group chat page to turn up the volume of her voice to the maximum. Now the soldiers who were protecting the emperor and the people sitting far behind could hear Jiang Lili's call.
One call and a hundred responses!
"Yao Chengping deserves to die!"
"Yao Chengping deserves to die!"
Behind Jiang Lili, cheers came like a tide.
Emperor Qingning widened his eyes, and so did all the civil and military officials.
Even the Crown Prince’s Consort dared to jump out and make a scene?
Isn’t this show of support even more impressive than that for him as an emperor?
Is this a return to Beijing or a forced abdication?
The thunderous voices of support made Emperor Qingning feel dizzy.
He waved to Zhou Jushan with great effort: "Medicine, medicine..."
Zhou Jushan put a piece of marshmallow into the emperor's palm.
Emperor Qingning swallowed it quickly.
Zhou Jushan's tone was filled with worry: "Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the palace first and ask the judge to take a look."
Emperor Qingning nodded very reluctantly.
Zhou Jushan said to Prince Zhao, "Your Highness, your return to the capital is safe, and His Majesty is relieved. You must be tired from traveling all the way. His Majesty has sent people to repair the original Zhaoping Marquis Mansion. Please move there, Your Highness."
King Zhao was much more polite to Zhou Jushan: "Thank you, eunuch."
Immediately, Zhou Jushan supported the emperor and shouted, "Go back to the palace!"
Emperor Qingning and his entourage left in a grand manner.
The ministers were left standing there in confusion and shock.
Shouldn't the Zhao family be timid when they return to Beijing? Why did they become so rampant?
The Xin family, which was once the most loyal, has now become the most arrogant and domineering Xin family.
