The two brothers behaved extremely cordially. If they had not known the details, they would have thought that they were brothers with a deep friendship. However, no one would have thought that in their hearts, both of them wished that the other would die early.
Imperial hegemony is the most terrifying thing. In front of it, family ties are simply broken and worthless.
At a luxurious banquet table, King Zhou Lie and the fake King Zhou Cheng exchanged cups. They really had a deep friendship. But a moment later, the fake King Zhou Cheng asked Wang Lin and others to accompany him on the grounds of physical discomfort.
But King Zhou Lie was very concerned and said a few words, then left without staying.
The whole process was conducted in a harmonious atmosphere and no problems were seen at all.
But after King Zhou Lie left, Xing Tian, Wang Lin and others were sweating profusely. Just now, they had their hearts in their throats, fearing that there would be any flaws. But fortunately, it seemed that they had succeeded in fooling him.
.
"Tomorrow is the day to go to court. According to King Cheng's plan, tomorrow he will unite many ministers to impeach King Zhou Lie. I just don't know what other methods King Zhou Lie will use this time." Xing Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
King Zhou Lie, who left the palace, was alone in the carriage, meditating.
"Today, I always feel that something is wrong with Zhou Cheng. It's just that I can't tell what is wrong. It's really strange." King Zhou Lie closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, he said: "Tomorrow is the day to go to court. What do you want?"
How can it be so easy to impeach me? Although I can't kill you for the time being, I can kill those ministers who are attracted by you. You think that I dare not do things that damage the foundation of the country, but I insist on doing it. Since
If you dare to impeach me, I will kill you even if you are the pillar of the country. Then I will see who else dares to impeach me?"
The carriage left under the escort of a large number of guards, but who knew that the moon tonight would be stained red with blood.
Throughout the night, Xing Tian and others were on guard against King Zhou Lie's attack. According to their calculations, King Zhou Lie would never sit still and wait for death. He would definitely take action. But something unexpected happened. It was extremely quiet that night and did not happen.
anything.
Before dawn, the fake King Cheng of Zhou rushed to the imperial city under the escort of a team of guards. Today's court meeting was the moment to establish the overall situation.
Among the entourage, there were naturally Xingtian, Xiaobai, the clone of the Corpse Emperor, Wang Lin and others. As for Linglong, she was left in the palace. No one knew what would happen in the court this time, so it was better to be careful.
The journey was uneventful, and we arrived at the Imperial City of the Sirius Dynasty smoothly. We first entered the splendid palace and waited in the waiting hall for a while. Xing Tian couldn't believe it until he heard the sound of the whip from the court.
Things turned out to be so smooth.
Wang Lin over there also looked puzzled, and secretly thought that this was a bit unbelievable. How could it go so smoothly? Could it be that King Zhou Lie gave up?
It is impossible for the other party not to know the importance of going to court today. They originally thought that King Zhou Lie would make some extraordinary move, but everything turned out to be peaceful.
Although he found it strange and unreasonable, Xing Tian still controlled the fake King Zhou Cheng to slowly enter the palace hall. Many people had gathered here, and when they saw the fake King Zhou Cheng, they all bowed and saluted.
The fake King Cheng of Zhou also returned the favor one by one, acting just like King Cheng of Zhou.
"Your Highness King Cheng, I heard that I was attacked by assassins a few days ago. Fortunately, there was no serious problem. I just don't know who was so bold and dared to do such a heinous thing. If I know who did it, it would be the first time.
Don't spare him!" At this time, an old man wearing a first-grade official robe walked slowly over and said to King Zhou Cheng.
Seeing this man, Xing Tian recognized through the eyes of the fake King Cheng of Zhou that he was the minister in charge of the Academy of Arts. His surname was Xu, and he was also a veteran minister. This time he was also a minister who supported King Zhou Cheng.
"Sir Xu, justice is in the heart of the people. I believe that Skynet will not leak out, and things will eventually come to light. At present, the overall situation of the country should still be the most important thing. I heard that the Zhao Dynasty has united with more than a dozen small neighboring countries to attack me.
The Sirius Dynasty declares war. This matter is a top priority and needs to be resolved immediately!" The fake King Zhou Cheng said impassionedly at this moment, completely integrating himself into the role of King Cheng.
Immediately, many ministers came over to discuss it together. Of course, there were also many ministers who did not come over, but they were all supporters of King Zhou Lie.
Time passed slowly, and King Zhou Lie also entered slowly. It was already time to go to court. At this time, someone finally realized that something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why didn't Mr. Zhang come today?"
"Yes, and Mr. Wen, who is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, didn't come either. This shouldn't be the case!"
When everyone took a look, they found that not only Master Zhang and Master Wen were not here, but now there were at least more than eight ministers who were absent, and they were all important ministers of the court. It was impossible not to come to a court meeting like this.
The fake King Cheng of Zhou, also known as Xing Tian, also discovered the problem at this moment. He immediately asked the sky for divination, and then secretly thought something bad in his heart.
The eight important ministers who did not come undoubtedly support King Zhou Cheng. If they had not come, it would be impossible to impeach King Zhou Lie at this court meeting. The court immediately met with King Zhou Cheng’s side
The ministers all had angry expressions on their faces. There was no doubt that if someone was causing trouble in this matter, there was no doubt that it must be King Lie of Zhou.
But now King Zhou Lie is sitting on the throne above, looking at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth caring. There seems to be nothing abnormal at all. Others have no evidence, so they naturally dare not say nonsense.
At this time, King Zhou Lie raised his head slightly, but deliberately showed a hint of surprise.
"Why didn't Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wen come today? The court is a place where national affairs are discussed. How could it be so casual? It's just nonsense. Come on, please go to the homes of these adults to urge them."
When there was a eunuch who ran down to start a fight, after a while, the eunuch who ran out before ran back in a hurry, knelt on the ground, his face turned pale, and with just one sentence, everyone was shocked.
"His Royal Highness King Lie, His Highness King Cheng, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wen and other eight adults were just found dead on the way to the palace. All the guards accompanying them were also killed."
"What?" King Zhou Lie suddenly sat up from his seat, but his face was filled with anger: "Bold, simply audacious, who dares to kill an important minister of my country?"
Others were also shocked, but soon their expressions changed. Everyone present was not a fool. Everything about today's incident was weird. Eight important ministers of the country were killed like this?
The fake King Zhou Cheng also had a solemn look at this moment. He naturally understood what was going on. The veteran minister Xu on the side also cast a look, which was obviously based on speculation in his mind.
As for Xing Tian, there is no need to guess about this matter. There is no doubt that it was King Zhou Lie who did it. The eight ministers who died were all people who supported King Zhou Cheng. Now that they are missing, today's impeachment will not be possible. It is bound to fail. Even King Zhou Lie can pin this crime on hostile countries such as the Zhao Dynasty. In this way, his action of sending troops is justified and no one can say anything. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, The novel is better and updated faster!)
