Jiang Fan, who was in the room, naturally heard the commotion, stood up calmly, picked up the magic sword Thousand Blades and walked out of the room.
"What the hell is this?"
"What a big cock. Has it become a sperm?"
"Kill it!"
"Why is it on fire?"
"It's not good!!"
"Lao Liu is dead. There are no bones left. What a terrifying flame."
"Monster!"
"Help...save me..."
A group of more than a dozen men in black climbed over the wall and entered the house, intending to bloodbath the Jiang Mansion. In the blink of an eye, three people died under the claws of Nu Qing Chicken, their skulls were overturned, and five others were reduced to ashes by Nu Qing Chicken's immeasurable karma fire.
, the remaining ten people were all shocked.
"Shoot an arrow and kill it!"
The leader of the men in black gave the order to fire arrows, and the others hurriedly opened their bows and fired arrows, hoping to kill the Angry Chicken.
"Giggle~"
The Angry Chicken spread its wings and flew rapidly in the dark night with infinite blue karma fire on it, like an erratic ghost, avoiding most of the arrows.
"Ding ding~"
Two arrows hit the Angry Rooster, but they made a sound of gold and iron.
After two evolutions, the texture of the colorful feathers on the Nuqing Chicken has become very hard, like layers of iron sheets. Even if arrows are shot on it, it will be difficult to break through the defense and cause effective damage.
This angered Nuqingji, who opened his mouth and sprayed out several small fireballs towards the man in black below.
The fireball is only the size of a finger, but it can cause devastating damage to people. Even if it is contaminated even a little bit, it will set the body on fire and no bones will be left.
When Jiang Fan walked out of the room with the magic knife Thousand Blades, the people who came to attack him were either burned to ashes by the angry chicken, or their bodies were torn apart by the chicken's claws.
Only three people were left and fled in a hurry over the wall.
As far as Nu Qingji's current strength is concerned, ordinary martial arts masters may not be able to match it.
In particular, Nu Qingji can skillfully use the infinite karma fire. Jiang Fan does not dare to touch this thing. If an ordinary person touches it, his body will be wiped out in an instant.
"Dabao, come back and look after the house."
Jiang Fan gave an order, jumped up, and already passed through the courtyard wall. He listened to the voice and looked at the three people who were running away in embarrassment.
Without Jiang Fan's movement, the four flying knives on his waist flew into the air and shot out.
The two men in black at the back had their necks pierced directly by flying knives.
The man in black who was running at the front had his arms pierced by flying knives and was nailed to the ground.
Jiang Fan stepped forward and asked, "Who sent you to kill me?"
The other party didn't reply. He gritted his teeth and the poison sac in his mouth ruptured, and he died soon after.
"It's better for you to do it."
Seeing that Du Ding committed suicide by taking poison, Jiang Fan stepped forward to check.
The visitor's hands were covered with calluses, which were caused by years of practicing swordsmanship, and he was wearing official shoes, indicating that he had an official background. In addition, Jiang Fan also found a Dongchang waistband on the leader.
"Dongchang?"
"When you go out to assassinate someone and still carry your belt, is that negligence, or is it a deliberate frame-up?"
It's a pity that it's hard to tell the warlock's inside story, otherwise it would be much easier for Jiang Fan to find the person behind the scenes.
But it doesn't matter, whether it's King Xin or Wei Zhongxian, Jiang Fan will eradicate them when the time comes.
There is no need to use interior calculations for such a trivial matter.
Even if it's Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, Jiang Fan doesn't mind killing him if he gets in his way.
Using the flint ring to destroy the bodies of these unknown killers, Jiang Fan turned around and returned home.
Early the next morning.
In the morning, Wei Zhongxian read out the imperial edict in his hand.
"By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict: I feel a little bit cold and have to stay out of court for a few days. All ministers and ministers above and below should keep their duties and do not have to go to court to give advice. I appreciate this."
"The Emperor is ill?"
"What should I do?"
"I wonder when your Majesty's dragon body will recover?"
In the early morning court, Zhu Youxiao was not seen attending the court. Instead, he received the news that Zhu Youxiao was ill. The minds of the ministers in the court became active.
The people of Donglin are naturally eager for Zhu Youxiao to die soon. They feel that Zhu Youxiao is occupying the manhole and preventing them from making money. Bah, it is preventing them from dedicating themselves to the Ming Dynasty.
Xin Wang Zhu Youjian received the news from Tai Hospital last night, and I just felt that God was helping me.
It would be best if Zhu Youxiao died of illness, so that he would not have to worry about being accused of regicide and brother-killing, and would feel better.
However, he was suspicious by nature and was still not at ease, so people continued to pay attention to the developments in the palace.
But at this time, the palace where Zhu Youxiao was located was tightly guarded by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the people who believed in the king could not get close at all.
In addition, Wei Zhongxian began to control the nine gates of Kyoto and consolidate military power, obviously to cause trouble.
When Dong Lin saw this, he couldn't sit still.
They felt that Wei Zhongxian might want to take advantage of Emperor Tianqi's serious illness to seek power. As for whether the other party dared to usurp the throne, they did not dare to bet.
But in any case, Wei Zhongxian taking power is not what they want to see.
The Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party have been fighting for so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that their hatred is as deep as the sea. They both want to put the other party to death. Once Wei Zhongxian takes power, there will be no way for them to survive.
Some people from Donglin immediately contacted secretly and began to discuss how to deal with it.
Originally, according to their thinking, Emperor Tianqi had no heirs, and they were apparently brothers and sisters. Once Emperor Tianqi became critically ill, there was a high probability that he would pass the throne to King Zhu Youjian.
King Xin, who usually behaves submissively, will be the first choice for Wei Zhongxian's support.
But there are no absolutes in the world. If Wei Zhongxian does not follow the routine, he will obstruct it and prevent King Xin from meeting Emperor Tianqi.
Once Emperor Tianqi died, Wei Zhongxian chose to support other vassal kings, or use this to monopolize power.
By then their plan would have come to nothing.
Although the latter is unlikely, it is not impossible. How many people can resist the temptation of power?
Even if Wei Zhongxian doesn't last long, the turmoil it may cause is definitely not what Donglin wants to see.
In the afternoon, go to Xinwang Mansion.
Zhu Youjian was thinking about how to meet Zhu Youxiao and ask his brother, who was not doing his job all day long, to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.
However, Eunuch Liu, who was under Wei Zhongxian, had already arrived at the gate of Prince Xin's Mansion with the imperial edict.
"The imperial edict has arrived. I believe that King Zhu Youjian will receive it."
Seeing that it was Eunuch Liu who brought people here, Zhu Youjian had a bad feeling in his heart, but he was not ready yet and did not dare to disobey the imperial edict in public, so he could only kneel down to receive it.
Eunuch Liu opened the imperial edict and read it according to the text.
"It's up to heaven, the emperor decreed."
"I am very happy to believe that King Zhu Youjian has good conduct, is loyal and filial, follows the rules, and is diligent in the king's affairs. Now that Zhu Youjian is in the prime of his youth, he should serve the country."
"Although I miss the feelings of my brothers and sisters and cannot bear to be separated from each other, for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, I must abide by the imperial system of my ancestors. Whenever a prince becomes an emperor, he should leave the capital, stay away from the palace, and avoid interfering in politics. This way, both the family and the country can be in peace."
"The ancestral system cannot be violated. I will now grant Dengzhou, Henan to King Xin as a territory. I will grant him 12,000 hectares of land, an annual salary of 8,000 taels, and exemption from all national taxes. On the first day of the next month, Zhu Youjian will leave the capital and express his gratitude here.
"
Eunuch Liu looked down at Zhu Youjian who was submissive and seemed to be about to cry, with a proud look on his face: "His Royal Highness, please accept the order."
Zhu Youxiao cried whenever he wanted to, with tears streaming down his face. He looked very sad and cried: "Brother I can't bear to leave the emperor. Wuwu, I don't want to leave the capital. Wuwu, I just want to serve you for the rest of my life."
Your Majesty! Wuwuwu..."
The imperial edict brought by Eunuch Liu made it clear that he wanted Zhu Youjian to leave the capital and join the feudal clan, away from the imperial power.
Zhu Youjian felt that the imperial edict was fraudulent, and it might not even be the edict issued by Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao at all.
Maybe it was Wei Zhongxian's conspiracy to cut off his path to becoming emperor, so naturally he didn't want to leave the capital.
