As soon as such a thing was spread across Yingdu, it was immediately suppressed by the imperial court. Hundreds of good people who spread rumors and confused the public were chopped off and then naturally calmed down.
The people didn't know what happened, and even most of the court officials were kept in the dark. Originally, they all got the news of the emperor's death, but the morning of the second day after the incident happened was not delayed at all. Emperor Jinglong summoned the civil and military ministers early to discuss
Regarding military affairs and disaster relief matters on the edge of Shiwanda Mountain, Emperor Jinglong's appearance and even his tone of voice were no different from before. This made the frightened ministers feel relieved, thinking in their hearts that the blood splattered in the bridal chamber was nothing more than that of the past.
He is just a stand-in for Emperor Jinglong.
This is the time when the military situation is urgent. If the emperor dies, the Shang Kingdom will immediately fall into chaos. Monsters in the mountains will inevitably run rampant. Even the reinforcements from various countries that have sent troops will immediately withdraw from the Shang Kingdom to avoid being trapped.
Quagmire.
The courtiers dispersed, leaving only Grand Master Hong Xizhao and Civil and Military General Zheng Zeshi standing in the Golden Palace.
The corners of 'Emperor Jinglong''s eyes twitched slightly, and his fingers moved unnaturally back and forth to gently caress the golden carved dragon head on the handle of the dragon chair.
"Is this the majesty of the emperor? The dragon throne in the golden palace, above tens of thousands of people! I no longer have to be afraid of being killed by my own brother for inexplicable reasons? From now on, this Shang Kingdom will be mine? I won't
You don’t have to be bored in the Prince’s Mansion all day long with papers and ink?” He still can’t believe it.
The emperor at this time was Li Fu, who looked exactly like Li Xie.
'Emperor Jinglong' had a look of panic on his face that was exactly the same as Li Xie's, and said: "How should we arrange the next two, my dear friends?"
Hong Xizhao and Zheng Zeshi both seemed relieved at this time.
Hong Xizhao said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing to arrange. Just remember that you are your brother Li Xie. As for the emperor's younger brother Li Fu, he will naturally get an emergency and pass away soon. From then on, there will be only the emperor and no Li Fu in the world."
.but……"
At this point, Hong Xizhao paused slightly and then frowned and said, "However, the family members in the palace..."
Li Fu's eyes twitched slightly. Since he wanted to become Li Xie, those thirteen wives, concubines and two children who were very familiar with him would become a major obstacle for him to maintain his identity as the Royal Dragon Lord.
After taking a deep breath, Li Fu said as calmly as possible: "Li Fu secretly sent people to assassinate the emperor and kill the whole family!"
When these words came out, Hong Xizhao and Zheng Zeshi couldn't help but frown.
In just one breath, Li Xie made a choice and gave up his wife and children! From this point of view, Li Fu is more suitable to ascend the dragon throne than Li Xie.
Li Fu suddenly sighed slightly and then a gloomy look flashed across his face and he said sternly: "That damn thief dared to kill my brother, I... I will cut him into pieces to avenge my brother."
Hong Xizhao and Zheng Zeshi couldn't help but sigh slightly after they recovered from Li Fuzhi's words. Both of them were successful people, so naturally they would not be kind to women. Killing the relatives in the prince's house was the best way to maintain their relationship.
The best way to stabilize the political affairs of the Shang Dynasty was for Li Fu to speak out about it himself, so neither of them had any entanglements at this time.
Who would have thought that Li Xie would be broken into several pieces on his wedding day. If it weren't for Li Fu's support, the whole court would have been shattered.
Li Xie's death was a great shock to both Hong Xizhao and Zheng Zeshi. Hong Xizhao was originally planning a huge plan, but now it has been postponed indefinitely, while Zheng Zeshi was heartbroken that Emperor Jinglong was not alive, and
After Li Fu sat on the throne, it is unknown whether he kissed Hong Xizhao or him. Although Li Xie seemed to have little power when he was in power, it was because Li Xie favored him that he was able to marry Hong Xizhao.
In the final analysis, this is the principle of royal orthodoxy. No matter how powerless the emperor is, he is still the emperor. No matter how powerful the minister is, he is still just a minister.
If Li Fu leaned towards Hong Xizhao, he, a civil and military general, would have to resign on his own if he wanted to survive. But how could he watch the royal family being ousted by Hong Xizhao alone, and even the Li family changed hands? He could only
He stood in the court and fought to the death with Hong Xizhao. However, the odds of winning were extremely low, and he basically died in vain. Zheng Zeshi was not afraid of death at all.
But when it comes to Li Fu, Hong Xizhao and Zheng Zeshi were really shocked. As soon as Li Xie died that day, the Empress Dowager briefly vomited blood and lost consciousness.
All the palace maids and eunuchs were killed and buried, and even the imperial guards who were most loyal to the royal family around the bridal chamber were all detained. Various public opinions and rumors were spread everywhere, causing the people to have different opinions. Under such vigorous and resolute actions, the news was
The spread was reduced to the lowest point, but some news still leaked out, so Li Fu immediately summoned the minister of civil and military affairs during the morning court on the second day. Originally this was just a stopgap measure, and he temporarily replaced Li Fu, who looked exactly like Li Xie.
Who knew that Li Fu's performance in the early court was simply amazing, his tone, demeanor and even the pace of his walk were the same as those of Emperor Jinglong. At this point, the Empress Dowager Hong Xizhao and Zheng Zeshi, who knew about this matter and controlled it, were completely
Relax.
As long as you have deceived the courtiers for a month or two, they will never be able to cause trouble again even if they know the truth.
Li Fu had obviously been observing Emperor Jinglong's words and deeds for a long time, and after learning that he was about to replace his brother as the Dragon Lord of Shang, Li Fu's whole demeanor suddenly changed, and all the previous restraints turned out to be
During the performance, Hong Xizhao also secretly took a peek at Li Fu's martial arts cultivation. It seemed that he had already entered the middle stage of becoming a soldier. It seemed that in the past, he was afraid of attracting attention and used some special methods to suppress his martial arts.
Xiu, coupled with the ruthlessness shown just now, even risking life and death for his own children, I really underestimated this Li Fu before. It seems that as long as the royal children have no intellectual disability, every one of them is not an easy character to deal with.
Hong Xizhao sighed in his heart and then said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter must not cause serious trouble. Several ministers in the palace have also speculated that the person who assassinated the emperor was probably someone from the three sects.
, if this is the case, we need to be careful to prevent the three major sects from taking the opportunity to cause chaos and spy on the country."
When Li Fu heard the names of the three major sects, he was immediately speechless. Although the three major sects belonged to the Shang Kingdom, they were not something that he, a human king, could control.
The three major sects are like misty clouds hanging in the sky. There are figures who have become immortals and saints in the sects. Each sect has thousands of years of foundation. Even the Li family has been operating in the Shang Kingdom for more than 800 years.
I know what the strength of the three major sects is, but I vaguely know that the worst disciples among the three major sects are the foundation-building monks. Above the foundation-building, there are also pill-forming and even Nascent Soul monks. Fortunately, the monks above the pill-forming stage are too lazy to intervene.
The secular affairs did not look down on the Li family's world foundation at all, and even the foundation-building monks rarely came out to walk. If the three major sects really killed Li Xie, even if the royal family knew about it, they could only break their teeth and swallow it themselves.
Not daring to say anything, I swallowed this sullen breath alive.
After all, four hundred years ago in the Shang Dynasty, there was a benevolent emperor who wanted to provoke the three major factions to fight each other to strengthen the ruling power of the royal family. As a result, just after discussing with several secret ministers, a stream of light rushed into the palace in the blink of an eye.
After taking the rank and hanging it on the lion's head at the Meridian Gate, the royal family did not even dare to say anything about this matter and simply buried Emperor Weiren.
After a long while, Li Fu said: "If it is really done by one of the three major sects, then what are they planning? Logically speaking, my country should not be able to enter the eyes of these monks."
Hong Xizhao and Zheng Zeshi could not help but remain silent.
