Chapter 41: The Three Kings Are Dead
A prophecy came true.
The King of Chu family had just been sent away at the end of July, and the King of Han was assassinated again in early August.
Emperor Yongxing was furious and the imperial guards surrounded the Han palace.
The royal family of the clan, Wang Shu, could not even see Emperor Yongxing, and the Jinyiwei strictly guarded Shangyang Palace.
It would be fine if the King of Han obediently captured him, but he actually led his disciples to resist and eventually died of the encirclement of the imperial guards.
All the officials of the court, relatives and nobles, connected this matter with the case of the King of Chu. It is hard not to suspect that Emperor Yongxing directed and acted by himself, and used this to eradicate the three royal palaces.
The suspicion was soon shattered, and Emperor Yongxing broke two fingers.
When the dynasty selects officials, they judge people by their appearance, and they cannot have any physical disabilities, let alone the emperor!
"The Han Palace will be punished!"
All the officials were silent.
...
Heavenly Prison.
There were endless shouts of injustice, crying, cursing, and whining.
The King of Han led his troops to fight with the imperial guards and confirmed the crime of rebellion. Anyone who had any connections would have to come to Tianzhu to go to Tianzhu.
The means to cure prisoners in prison must be signed or not!
Captain Lu led the interrogation until the middle of the night, and was so exhausted that he almost exhausted and got a large stack of confessions.
"Old Zhou, you are so sir, you'll talk less in the future!"
"Sir, there must be something strange about this!"
Zhou Yi cultivated the theory of spiritual cultivation, and his soul sensing became more and more sensitive. He just went to see the prince of Han, and his grievances were not like falsehood.
At this time.
A prison guard rushed over and reported in a low voice: "The news just came, the team escorted the King of Chu out of the capital, and encountered bandits on the way, and only a few imperial guards escaped back."
Captain Lu asked, "Where are the brothers who accompany you?"
The jailer said in fear: "Everything is dead."
Captain Lu murmured: "Including those who were escorted to the Duke of Zhenguo last time, more than 20 prisoners have died in just two months... Lao Zhou, isn't this place in the Tianzhu safe?"
"I only deliver food, but I don't follow the escort."
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, there is no absolutely safe place in the world.
Even if the Tianzhuo delivers food, it is dangerous. When Li Wu used the King of Heaven as bait to lure and kill the masters of the martial arts world, the imperial guards and prisoners who died did not know any news in advance.
The big shots never take into account the life and death of the pawns!
Personal interests must be subject to overall interests, and no matter how much they are, they cannot be said.
...
October.
King Jing rebelled.
In a real rebellion, the blue sky and the sun led the crowd to attack the east gate of the imperial city.
The imperial guards' arrows fell like rain, and the rebels suffered heavy casualties.
"I am a parent and child of Zhongzong. I would rather die in battle, so how could I wait for the killing!"
King Jing shouted loudly, but he still fought to the death and eventually died after being hit by dozens of arrows.
As soon as this incident happened, it shocked Kyoto!
All officials and nobles all said in private that they are mean and polite now, and they do not look like a monarch!
...
A newcomer came in to Tianlao, a great worshiper from Prince Jing’s Mansion.
The top master of internal strength for two hundred years, the master of Jiangnan Wuliang Temple, and the Taoist name is Xuanling.
"Wuliangguan, Xuanling, why have you never heard of this name?"
After learning about it, Zhou Yi was quite interested. The state of marrow washing may be within two hundred years, and it is famous in the world, and the entire Fengyang Kingdom is no more than a hundred people.
I have been in Tianzhu for thirty years and have communicated with the experts caught from all over the country.
Zhou Yi didn’t leave the prison, so he could recognize the heroes in the world!
Prison No. 2.
Zhou Yi pushed the door and saw an old man in a ragged Taoist suit. At first glance, he seemed to be over 60 years old.
Granny hair and wrinkled face.
"I've seen Senior Xuanling."
Zhou Yi bowed and said, "I have heard of the great name for a long time, and I finally got to see it today."
Xuan Ling looked up and looked at the person: "Who are you?"
Zhou Yi said: "The Old Demon of Blood Prison, Zhou Yi."
Xuan Ling said coldly: "I haven't heard of it before!"
A flash of light flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, and he became more interested in Xuanling. The other party did not look like a master in the martial arts world.
The title of the Blood Prison Old Demon is even louder than that of ordinary top experts.
After all, there are more masters in the martial arts world who die at Zhou Yi's hands than the leader of the Demon Sect.
Even if Xuan Ling is a cultivator who does not fight with others, so he is not famous. However, as long as he has been in the world, how can he not know the name of the old demon?
"You are not a man in the world!"
When Zhou Yi spoke, he carefully observed Xuan Ling's reaction and indeed a look of surprise flashed through his face.
"So, you deliberately intervened in Prince Jing's Mansion..."
A sudden light of inspiration flashed in Zhou Yi's heart and continued, "It's not only about bewitching King Jing's rebellion, but also about the death of King Han and King Chu, which is also related to you or the person behind you?"
“Bad talk!”
Xuan Ling denied it completely and closed her eyes and ignored it.
"I was puzzled before that, King Chu and King Han are not idiots. In recent dynasties, several emperors have been following the assassination of the throne, but they have done this again and again."
"So assassination is not the original intention of the two kings, but you want to fail to assassinate and kill someone with a knife!"
"As for King Jing's rebellion, he was stimulated by the extermination of the two kings and made a decision on his own!"
"The three royal palaces have become abandoned children, and your only goal is that position!"
"The six sons of Emperor Hongchang are now four dead, and only the deposed prince is left!"
Zhou Yi's thoughts were getting faster and faster. Many of his doubts were suddenly enlightened. He looked up at the direction of the palace: "The deposed prince was unknown before, and he conspired with the Li family in private. He had no ability to follow this plan with such a personality!"
"The only person who can control the overall situation is Zhang Xiang!"
"Who are you?"
Xuan Ling suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Yi with horror.
"There is another problem. Where did Zhang Xiang get so many masters of death warriors? He is really a gangster in the world and will not let him go."
Zhou Yi frowned slightly, and with a bending finger, his magic power fell into Xuanling's body.
The magic power followed the meridians and clearly realized that Xuanling's internal organs had aging, and he had not had to be punished for a short time.
"I have also practiced Taoist practices. The internal energy is calm and peaceful, which can best nourish the meridians and internal organs, and become stronger when old. Practicing to the extreme depths can delay aging and have a long hair and a young face."
"Your internal organs are declining like this, it's more like..."
Zhou Yi opened Xuanling's mouth and checked the aging degree of teeth, as white as a young man.
"The Demonic Swallowing!"
As Zhou Yi guessed, Zhang Xiang created a master through the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art.
"The masters recruited by the three kings are all Zhang Xiang's people, so they crazily assassinate the emperor... No, there are also many masters from the world recruited in the palace. Could it be that Zhang Xiang's people are also?"
"In the past few months, the value of martial arts masters in Beijing increased sharply. Could it be that Zhang Xiang was hyping it?"
Zhou Yi would not think that he was smarter than the ancients because of time travel. Just talking about conspiracy and tricks, he could not even compare with corrupt officials in prison.
The only thing that surpasses confidence is a more scientific way of thinking.
Now that I have seen Zhang Xiang’s methods, starting from inconspicuous details, triggering a storm that shakes the foundation of the country, and reducing the logical thinking that I am proud of is a little bit lowered.
If it weren't for the fruit of immortality, Zhou Yi would have fallen into Zhang Xiang's life unconsciously!
"In the past, I could only comment on hot searches."
Zhou Yi has no evidence, indicating that all plans were made by Zhang Xiang, but the free mind proves that whoever is the last one is the murderer.
"This is just the situation in Beijing, and Zhang Xiang's plan is definitely not just that..."
"It has been two months since Fengyang and Da Yong negotiated peace, and there has been no progress at all. The troops of states and prefectures in various places are stationed in the northern border and are not allowed to return to Beijing. Emperor Yongxing's last life-saving straw is gone!"
"A man who is good at fighting has no great achievements, he is such a person!"
"It seems that I have to take leave again..."
