Chapter 1550 Sitting Alone on the Throne
Luo Shang took a deep breath and said:
"Mother, my son wants to join the army and does not want to rule the country too early."
Lian Yi smiled and said:
"You don't want to join the army. You feel that you are not capable of taking over the power from me, so you have to settle for the next best thing."
Luo Shang was embarrassed for a moment when his thoughts were revealed, but he still said:
"Mother, I don't want to have any grudges against you, and I am not capable enough."
Lian Yi shook his head and said unceremoniously:
"No, Luo Shan, it's not that you don't want to, it's that you can't."
Luo Shang didn't expect his mother to be so blunt and not even give him a fig leaf.
Lianyi waved her hand to let the other person sit down, and then told him his true life story.
After listening to Lianyi's story, Luo Shang was stunned for a moment. He said it was impossible, but a voice in his heart told him that what his mother said was true.
"Luo Shang, there is no need for me to lie to you, because I drank the sterilizing soup before coming to Luopan Country, so I will never get pregnant in this life, so it is impossible for me to give birth to you. Whether I have given birth or not, you can find a doctor to see it.
Admitting that you were born by me was the order of your father, and it was also to shut up the court officials. However, your birth was not glorious, because the maid who gave birth to you had an affair with the late second prince.
At that time, both I and Luo Lu were kept in the dark until I persuaded him to have another child and the woman still didn't get pregnant, which aroused our suspicion.
It was your father who became suspicious and ordered Luotang to personally interrogate your biological mother Sally. After knowing the truth, your father was so angry that he vomited blood and ordered the killing of your biological mother.
For the stability of the court, I stepped forward to save your life. However, your biological father, Luo Shuai, was ambitious. He arranged for an ambush and assassination on the way back to the palace between me and Luo Lu. Luo Lu was seriously injured, but he also lost his life.
Luo Lu died with hatred in his heart. Although he did not leave a single word, I know that he hated you and would never give up the throne of Luopan to the son of his enemy."
“THAT PURPOSE”
Luo Shang still wanted to struggle.
Lian Yi smiled and said calmly:
"For the sake of the stability of the government, I forged it. Otherwise, why do you think Luo Lu handed the military order to me? The purpose was to suppress you."
Luo Shang's expression was completely broken. He felt a little depressed and felt that his life was a joke. He smiled bitterly and said:
"Mother, what do you want to do with me?"
"I raised you. If you want to join the army, go ahead! But you'd better draft your abdication decree as soon as possible."
Lianyi reminded kindly.
"yes!"
Luo Shang took his leave, and then left Lianyi's bedroom like a zombie, seeming to have been hit hard.
Yue Jue looked at the other person's back for a while, then came to Lian Yi and said:
"Queen, is it okay to let Luo Shang know this now? What if he wants to fight again?"
Lianyi put down the teacup in her hand and said with a faint smile:
"If he has the ability, he can give it a try, but the winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. If he fails, he will have no way out. If he fails, he will lose everything."
"I understand. I will notify Sundial to keep an eye on the situation in the palace."
"By the way, I'm also watching those court officials. The closer it gets to Luo Shang taking power, the more restless they become."
"Yes, Queen."
Luo Shang sat in his bedroom for a whole day and night. The rebellious blood running through his bones made him decide to give it a try. He had prepared for that position for so long, and now others told him that this position did not belong to him. How could he be willing to accept it?
On the day he took power, Luo Shang did not issue an abdication edict. Instead, he read out to the court officials the Queen Mother Gan Lianyi's evil ambition to control the government, the army, and to replace him. Some court officials immediately stood up to support him, some opposed it, and the rest took a wait-and-see attitude.
Lian Yi sat steadily in the upper seat, her expression did not change at all, she just flicked her nails and said:
"Luo Shang, I have already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"You are not my mother!"
Luo Shang said expressionlessly.
"Of course I am not your mother. You are the child born from the adultery between Sally and Luo Lu. You also cuckolded your nominal father, Luo Lu. You are alive because you are still useful.
Now it seems that you don’t know how to stop when you are ahead, and you insist on wanting things that don’t belong to you in the first place.”
"You're talking nonsense! You made all this up to force me to abdicate! I don't believe it!"
When Luo Shang's shameful life story was exposed, he immediately became furious and vehemently denied it.
"What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true."
Lianyi waved her hand indifferently, and Sundial and his men surrounded Luo Shang.
"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"
The attendants around Luo Shang immediately shouted loudly, but only a few people rushed into the hall.
Lianyi wanted to end the farce as soon as possible, so she nodded to the sundial, and the other party quickly killed the guards surrounding Luo Shang, leaving only Luo Shang.
"Don't say that I want to kill you to silence you. Even if I want to punish you, I will do it in a legitimate way."
Lianyi looked at Yuejue after she finished speaking.
Yue Jue understood and went to the side hall and brought out two people. One was Luo Lu's personal guard Luo Tang, and the other was Sally's personal maid, who used to be Luo Shu's nemesis, and the old man who served beside the old King Luo Pan.
The three of them told the court officials what they knew, allowing them to piece together the whole story. They were extremely disdainful of Luo Shang's identity. His biological father plotted against his grandfather, killed his own brother, and had an affair with Luo Lu's woman. With such an identity, he was not qualified to sit in his current position.
Most people knew that even if Luo Shang’s identity was not a problem, he would not be able to sit on the throne, because Lian Yi was too powerful and would not give him a chance to succeed.
Five days later, Lianyi sat on the throne and became the new King Luopan.
When the good news was passed back to Da Gan, Emperor Gan happily ate an extra bowl of rice. Now he was only one step away from fulfilling his daughter's promise to him.
Lian Yi also began to work on the matter of returning to Dagan, but Luo Pan's courtiers were unwilling to do so and knelt outside the palace, refusing to let Lian Yi go back to Dagan.
Lian Yi asked his men to bring all the court officials into the hall and asked only one question:
"Do you want me to be the king of Luo Pan only, or the king of Luo Pan and Da Gan?"
The court officials did not react for a moment, and someone immediately asked:
"The Queen is going to attack Daegan?"
Lian Yi glared at the other party and said helplessly:
"The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting. You just want to fight a war. Don't you think that fighting a war doesn't cost money and doesn't kill people?
Don't forget, I have another identity, I am the eldest princess of the Great Gan. As long as the Emperor Gan passes the throne to me, I can naturally succeed to the throne."
These words really moved the court officials below, as they all hoped that their country's territory would be as large as possible and that they would have as many people under their command as possible.
Lian Yi saw that these people were interested, so he continued:
"Please try to stop me for a while, so that I can have time to make plans."
"Yes, Queen!"
This time the response was very neat.
