Chapter 376: The world is won by those who are capable

The queen knew she couldn't stop her, so she stopped trying to stop her with her eyes.

At this moment, her mind was focused on the distraught Zhong Rui standing beside her. She hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, and gently patted the back of his hand with her smooth palm.

“Deal with the present first.”

As for the rest, let’s wait until the situation is completely stabilized.

Zhong Rui came back to his senses, feeling the soft and warm touch on the back of his hand, and his ears suddenly turned red.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Yunsong finally stopped coughing and spitting blood. When he stood up, he saw Zhong Rui looking a little embarrassed. He felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He won't live for many more days, why should he watch so many love scenes before he dies!

Doesn't he want to not be able to marry or have children in his lifetime? !

The coughing finally stopped, but could no longer be suppressed due to the intense agitation of the mind.

Lu Xinran looked at him with sympathy. This man had endured it all his life, and it was just the last few days. How could he not be able to bear it anymore?

"In the harem, there are concubines who have not been favored by the dog emperor. Do you want to..."

"Shut up! It's not necessary!"

Yunsong almost shouted these words at Lu Xinran, and Lu Xinran curled his lips: "It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't know the good heart. It's just because you are pitiful. Tsk, you said you don't have many days to live, why bother to guard your virginity, what if you suddenly become brave and powerful and have a posthumous child in these few days."

Yunsong: “…”

Can someone come and cover her mouth?

He thought that the reason he hadn't married and hadn't lost his virginity was that he thought women were too noisy and boisterous!

Zhang Yongping, who had been standing aside with no change in expression, finally stepped forward, grabbed Yunsong's collar at the back of his neck, and pulled him aside.

This person can't die now!

"Have the defenders of the capital been replaced by your men?"

"Yes, except for the Yongping Gate that was breached, the other three places have been occupied."

Coming back to his senses from his embarrassment, Zhong Rui finally managed to keep a normal expression and calmly analyze the situation at hand.

His eyes swept over Yunsong who was held in Zhang Yongping's hands, the skinny and frail emperor in the palace, and Song Junyan and the other person who seemed to be staying out of the matter.

"Father, what's going on?"

He broke into the palace with great courage and ferocity, but he didn't know what was happening.

Zhang Yongping turned sideways so that he could clearly see the emperor lying on the ground.

"Your Majesty will write the edict of resignation today. When I ascend the throne, I will appoint you and Qi Yu as generals to protect the country."

"What!"

Zhong Rui cried out in surprise. He raised his hand to gesture to Song Junyan and turned back to look at the queen. "What's going on?"

"This world belongs to the capable. Zhong Rui, are you willing to protect my foster father?"

Zhang Yongping did not explain too much, just this one sentence revealed all his thoughts.

Zhong Rui looked at him in a daze. The capable get it. Since he is the capable one...why can't he do it?

He brought his men from the northwest and traveled for several days to reach the capital. He spent so much effort and guarded the northwest for so many years. This world was protected by him and Qi Yu!

Why can't they be the one who can do it?

Zhang Yongping looked at his changing expression and suddenly chuckled.

"If you are willing, you can do it. As long as you promise to let the Zhang family return to the northwest, you can take whatever you want in this world."

His words were too generous. In his mouth, the world was like a pear in the hands of a child, which he could give to others at will.

Zhong Rui just looked at him quietly, totally unable to tell which of the words of his former mentor and godfather were true or false at this moment.

Yunsong finally calmed down. He clenched his fists tightly and warned himself not to pay any attention to Lu Xinran and Song Junyan.

He raised his hand to slap away Zhang Yongping's big hand that was behind his neck, straightened his bloody collar, and then spoke slowly.

"Your good godfather is reluctant to talk about the current situation, so let me tell you.

"Now, that bastard in the palace has only two days to live. Once he dies, the world will be ownerless.

"Did you see those two bastards in the palace? They are the sons of that bastard who wanted to be the emperor the most. If you kill them and the rest of that bastard's sons, the world will no longer belong to the Song family.

"Your good adoptive father wants this world to belong to the Zhang family.

"As for me, I think it's not bad to have a female emperor. Look at the person next to you, she has great temperament, knowledge and the ability to win people over. If she becomes the female emperor, won't the world have a different and fresh atmosphere?

"As for you, if you think the world deserves the surname Zhong, then go and compete with your good adoptive father."

His voice was filled with a familiar temptation. Zhong Rui frowned and looked at him. After a long while, he suddenly whispered, "Those letters really were written by you."

He asked why the queen would write him such a letter.

In his heart, she was always dignified and serious, and she would never give up her dignity and seduce him with such words.

But he knew very well that these were most likely all false, he still kept a one in ten thousand possibility in his heart, and then brought people from thousands of miles away, just to ask her in person.

He laughed at himself, and the desire to take over the world that had arisen in his mind for a moment was completely washed away by these tempting words.

He is just a rough man, what can he do in this world?

He bowed to Zhang Yongping and said, "Zhong Rui is willing to support his adoptive father to ascend the throne and become emperor."

"good!"

Zhang Yongping's expressionless face finally showed a smile. He raised his hand and stroked his beard. "Carefully count your people and invite the court officials to the palace. We will now ask His Majesty to write the edict of abdication."

Zhong Rui obeyed the order, turned around, glanced deeply at the queen, then mounted his horse and left quickly.

Yunsong looked at everything in front of him in astonishment. How could Zhong Rui just leave like this? !

The world is within his reach, how could he not want it?!

Lu Xinran rubbed his dry eyes, just wondering when this farce would end.

She pursed her lips and looked at the people beside her. After planning for so long, he was just going to hand over the throne to others. Their future safety might not be guaranteed. Was he really willing to do that?

Song Junyan held her hand and just shook his head slightly calmly.

The sound of rapidly departing horses' hooves finally woke up the emperor who was trying to curse. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he broke free from the empress dowager's arms, swaying his body and standing up tremblingly.

"You, you traitors and thieves! I will never write an edict to you even if I die. You will always be thieves who steal the country and criminals who will be laughed at by future generations. Those who steal the country will not die a good death. I will not let you get what you want!"
