Chapter 13 Dragon Fighting Chapter 123 Dragon Teng Seven

However, what he didn't understand was, at this moment, why did Empress Dowager Chen tell him about these secret matters that were important to shake the Zheng royal family and to cause great turmoil? He should know what the so-called meaning is? These should have been drowned in history and should not have been known by anyone anymore.

The more Ling Luo thought about it, the less he understood, so he could only listen quietly to Queen Mother Chen.

"Before the death of the former king, he had drafted two secret decrees, one to Zuo Shuchang and the other to place the decree here. The Ai family could also tell Xinhou that if the male members of the Zheng royal family were in trouble with the country and the people or were killed or injured, the position of the Zheng king would be inherited by you. It was also the promise of the former king to fulfill the promise to Zuo Shuchang. Originally, the King of Zheng had intended to pass it on to you, but Zuo Shuchang was determined not to accept the order, so he gave up. The secret decree was also what was planned at that time."

Ling Luo hurriedly knelt on the ground and said directly, "I have been taught by my father since I was a child and am determined to do my best to serve the State of Zheng. The Queen Mother said this will never be born even if it is the will of the previous king, I will never accept the order. I and my father will never be the stolen country who are scolded by later generations."

Empress Chen smiled and told him to get up

"There is no need to be like this. The loyalty of Zuo Shuchang and Xinhou and his son, the former king knew that the Ai family also knew that the Ai family asked Xinhou if King Zheng was considered a wise monarch?"

Ling Luo hurriedly said, "The wisdom of King Zheng is unique in ancient and modern times."

"I don't know if the Ai family has the will of heaven in the dark. The Ai family and the Hou Xin did not understand why King Zheng trusted and had friendship with the Northern King alone since he learned about the Northern King's life, the Ai family realized that the mortal world was indeed the will of heaven in the dark... King Zheng and King Beijun are actually half-brothers..."

Ling Luo no longer knew how to accept the things in front of him. The complexity of it was completely beyond his imagination. It was not until this moment that he fully understood the reason why Empress Dowager Chen could forgive Beijun for killing his son and treated him as his own. He still wanted to save Beijun's life. Only then did he know why Empress Dowager Chen did not express his clear objection to the two kings governing Zheng State after Beijun entered the palace. He just asked Zheng State's civil and military officials to pay close attention to Beijun's actions.

".........The man lived in Zuo Shuchang's mansion back then. The Ai family and his sister admired his chess skills, and they became teasing when they talked. One day, the Ai family saw him, and the other day, the Ai family’s sister saw him..."

'That man met his father?' Ling Luo couldn't help but feel more worried when he heard this

"......That man didn't know about our sisters' affairs, because he was angry with his sister, Zuo Shuchang cut off his robe and severed his righteousness, and cut off his friendship with Jinlan, and never interacted with each other. The man, because of Zuo Shuchang, promised that he would never mention this matter to anyone. Zuo Shuchang was kind and kind. At that time, he told the former king that his biological father, the son of the Ai family, was no longer in the world. The Ai family later knew from Zuo Shuchang that Zuo Shuchang had always kept his promise and never mentioned the real name of the man. The former king was very happy to see that the Ai family gave birth to three princes. He said that there were successors of the royal family, Ai family was grateful for the kindness of the former king, and swore that he would never tell the truth to the three brothers, so he would not tell the truth to the North King, so the Northern King only knew that his mother was the sister of the Ai family, but he did not know that he and King Zheng were half-brothers."

After saying that, Empress Chen sighed and said, "Mr. Xinhou should understand the feelings of the Ai family. King Zheng has a deep affection for the Northern King, and his trust is endless. If the Northern King insists on subverting the State of Zheng, the Ai family will never allow it. However, the Ai family does not want to take his life. As long as he abolishes his martial arts, he will use his master to take care of him day and night, imprison him in the palace. He will not only allow him to spend the rest of his life, but also be afraid that he will do something that will harm the foundation of Zheng."

Ling Luo then received the order and said, "I understand, but I cannot guarantee that I will live up to the empress dowager's entrustedness. I only dare to say that I am willing to do my best to do it."

Empress Dowager Chen was stunned and came over and said, "Xinhou is worried about Feixian Sect... This makes sense. As long as Xinhou takes this matter to heart and does his best, no matter what the result is, the Ai family will not blame Xinhou."

After hearing this, Ling Luo couldn't help but smile and comfort Empress Dowager Chen, saying, "I think the Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry too much about killing the Northern King. Besides, it's difficult for King Zheng to allow the ministers to do this no matter what. I'm afraid it's impossible to regard the Northern King as an enemy."

Empress Dowager Chen nodded slowly and said indifferently, "The reason why the Ai family let Xinhou know the content of the secret order of the previous king was to make Xinhou take the foundation of Zheng as the priority. Although the Zheng king was the biological son of the Ai family, the Ai family was favored by the previous kings in their lifetime and always regarded the three brothers as the bloodline of the previous kings. In any case, they were not allowed to endanger the foundation of the previous kings. If the Zheng king was always obsessed with it, the Ai family would abolish his throne. It is said that when Xinhou inherited it, he and the Northern King would be allowed to live in the palace, spend the rest of their lives, but they would be the only one who would be the rest of their lives."

"Empress Dowager" Ling Luo was shocked and didn't know what the emotions in his heart were. Although he had heard Zuo Shuchang say many times, Empress Dowager Chen was the most loyal to the previous king. Although the Empress Dowager who was loyal to Zheng State was a woman, she had extraordinary knowledge and could consider everything based on the overall situation of Zheng State's foundation.

However, it was not until this moment that Ling Luo knew how respectable Empress Chen’s heart and loyalty to the former kings were,

For the sake of Zheng Guo Jiye, she could even give up a mother's feelings for her parents and children. As long as Zheng Guo Jiye's surname is Zheng, when this cannot be achieved, she would rather choose to be loyal to the will of the previous king and let Zheng Guo be inherited by the Ling family designated by the previous king, rather than dominate the parent-child who cannot govern Zheng Guo Jiye because of her own personal gain.

Ling Luo for a moment, he didn't know how to express his shocked mood in his heart, so he knew why there were so many absurd secrets. The previous king was still able to trust and love Empress Dowager Chen at this moment. The ability of the previous king to know people is very comparable.

"I think the Empress Dowager does not have to worry too much about this. Although King Zheng Yingming may always trust Beijun in the future, since the Empress Dowager is willing to spare Beijun's life and let him live in the palace for a long time, if this day in the future, King Zheng will definitely not hope that Beijun can change his heart and the King's responsibility. King Zheng will never forget that I think Beijun is not a ruthless person. How the King of Zheng treats him, Beijun knows it well, and it is definitely not unmoved by this. If Beijun fails, I think he will never blame others, will not be resentful and dissatisfied with anyone because of failure, and will even sincerely persuade King Zheng."

When Empress Chen heard this, she was happy to see it and said, "Mr. Xin thought Beijun had such a kind of mentality?"
