"With your identity, you are not qualified to know about Wu Mu's death. However, the imperial court's official list will be announced to the world soon. It doesn't hurt to tell you. After the battle of Shangjing City, the emperors of various desolate places, together with the remnants of their sects,
They were all repelled by His Majesty. However, the thieves, harboring hatred and seeking revenge, secretly sneaked into Shangjing City. Chaos Ancestor and others, together with several great emperors, suddenly attacked and killed Wu Mu! Because His Majesty was in retreat,
Shenxi Sword of the Holy Emperor failed to stop it in time, which resulted in a regrettable incident! - The evidence for this matter is conclusive, it is a certainty!"
Yu Wudi paused as he spoke, glanced coldly, and said solemnly:
"Wu Mu's revenge must be avenged. Your Majesty is already plotting to wipe out all religions and sects, destroy the world's orthodoxy, and avenge Wu Mu. If anyone continues to fight and get entangled with people from the sect, he will be punished.
Being disloyal to His Majesty is treason! You will be punished when the time comes! - Fang Yun, after you go back, reflect on it!"
"Yu Wudi, don't think that just because you are the first generation of Wuhou, you can talk about life and death! Let me tell you, this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the country is governed by etiquette and law. Even if you are a follower of Emperor Taizu, it is in the past tense. Now, you are just an ordinary person.
The leader of the Divine Guard is not part of the imperial establishment. Within the framework of the imperial court, my status is far greater than yours. And you are just a small guard! Think about your status clearly before you speak."
Fang Yun said coldly.
"you!"
Yu Wudi was furious, with a surge of true energy, and he was about to take action: "Boy, you are looking for death!"
"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of Wu Mu's Gate!"
Fang Yun said coldly:
"As long as you dare to act rashly, I will capture you in the name of the prince today! Even if you go to the Human Emperor, I can't save you!"
"well!!"
Yu Wudi raised his eyebrows, his long hair fluttering with anger:
"The descendants of the Fang family are indeed talented! I have followed Taizu Conglong for more than a thousand years. This is the first time that someone dares to be so presumptuous in front of me!"
Yu Wudi's mood seemed extremely excited, and his already angry armor trembled. Fang Yun's words choked him violently. However, despite his words, Yu Wudi still suppressed his anger and did not dare to take action.
Although the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Expeditionary Army and the Divine Guards were extremely powerful, they did not belong to the organizational framework of the imperial court. When dealing with sects, the Divine Guards had the power to mobilize local armies and even have the power of life and death over generals. But once
When it comes to matters within the imperial court, the Divine Guard Army has almost no power.
The imperial court has always been very clear in this regard. Wu Mu, Wuhou, princes, generals, generals..., as well as the civil service system, are layered on top of each other, forming the military and political system within the imperial court. All internal affairs of the imperial court are
It is decided by this system. Neither Dutong, who conquered the army, nor Yu Wudi, the divine defender, have the right to intervene!
If Fang Yun takes action against him, it will be defensible in name. Even if he goes to the Human Emperor, the Human Emperor will not show any favoritism. Although Yu Wudi is not in the court, he has already known it for so many years. Those civil servants in the court
, once he gets the upper hand, even the Human Emperor dares to rebuke him, he is so courageous!
If it really causes trouble with the Human Emperor, he really won't be able to take any advantage.
"Hmph! The original intention of Taizu when he established the separation of civil and military affairs was to have military strategists and Confucianists assist the royal family and rule from the ground up. I didn't expect that you guys would take advantage of it and actually evade the imperial power. As a minister, you would even dare to accuse the emperor. It's simply
How courageous! If this had happened before, he would have been killed immediately! - Fang Yun, I advise you to restrain yourself. Don't think that no one knows about the things between you and the sect world. Don't be a human emperor.
To be tolerant, be bold and unbridled!”
Yu Wudi waved his hand and said without any doubt:
"Go back! Don't ask for death! No one is allowed to visit during the coffin. This is His Majesty's order. Fang Yun, if you turn a deaf ear, I won't mind sacrificing your head for wine!"
As Yu Wudi said, his face darkened. He looked like he would never get out of the way!
Fang Yun stopped still, staring coldly at Yu Wudi. Their gazes collided in the void, sparking countless lightning bolts. After a moment, Fang Yun finally spoke:
"Yu Wudi, there is no need for you to comment on whether I have colluded with the sect or not. During the Battle of Shangjing, the imperial court was in danger, and the Emperor will decide for himself what people's hearts are like. I still don't need you to interrupt. - Today is the day of Wu Mu's funeral.
, I don’t care about you either. But I have planned this matter. If you let me know that you have selfish motives, in the future, we will settle the old and new grudges together!"
"Be bold!"
Yu Wudi's eyes glared with cold light, and he became furious.
However, Fang Yun just turned around and ignored him at all. He turned around and strode away. Although Yu Wudi was furious in his heart, he did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and sneak attack a prince of Zhou Dynasty who came to express condolences to Wu Mu from behind.
.
Fang Yun strode forward, got on the carriage, and left immediately.
On the way back home, Fang Yun was silent in thought. Yu Wudi's appearance was undoubtedly a change.
According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the coffin refers to the process of dressing the corpse and moving it into the coffin. Once the coffin is completed, Wu Mu's body will not be seen at all. There is no way to discover the cause of Wu Mu's death.
It is understandable that the Human Emperor had a deep love for brother Wu Mu and wanted him to be buried quietly. But why should princes be prohibited from paying homage and offering condolences? Why should curfews and city bans be issued!
Fang Yun fell into deep contemplation. Wu Mu died too suddenly, and this matter had to be investigated!
Yu Wudi said that Wu Mu died because the Chaos Ancestor and others cooperated with the Great Emperor to attack Wu Mu in a sneak attack. With the strength of these people, they can indeed kill with one strike. Although Wu Mu is powerful, he is definitely not
The emperor's opponent!
But the question is, how can they be sure that the Human Emperor is in seclusion to meditate on the Sword of the Holy Emperor? Moreover, as the great emperor, there is no need for a sneak attack to kill Wu Mu. Why should they take this risk in Shangjing City?
More importantly, Fang Yun always felt that something was wrong. Judging from the battle in the capital, the members of the sect and the various emperors almost fled in panic. How could they have the courage to fight back so quickly?
impossible!
This was Fang Yun's first instinct. But Yu Wudi would not lie. A person like him, with his arrogant temperament, would never lie. And as the Human Emperor, there was no need to lie.
"There must be something in this, or a hidden secret, that I don't know about."
Fang Yun thought deeply. In the past, Fang Yun suddenly felt that the entire Shangjing City had changed, becoming different from the one he knew before.
This is just a feeling, there is no solid evidence. But this time when he came back, Fang Yun really had this intuition and feeling!
Returning to the Champion House, Fang Yun closed his eyes and sat in the main hall, motionless. Waiting quietly to disappear. The information organization that Fang Yun now controls is very powerful. There are nearly a million moths spread all over the world.
, all walks of life.
Fang Yun can collect any information he wants. Among them, Shangjing City has the strongest information capability. This is the imperial capital of Shangjing City, and there are many moths scattered around.
Fang Yun asked Zhao Boyan to collect news in the capital city. Within three months, he could collect all the information in detail in the dark. What's more, Fang Yun just wanted Wu Mu's whereabouts within three days.
!
Wu Mugui is the God of War and has a special status. Every move he makes is the light, and it is not difficult to search. The only thing needed is a little time to screen and filter out useful information.
When the lanterns first came on, Fang Yun finally arrived at Zhao Boyan. It was just much later than the scheduled time.
"What happened?"
Fang Yun sat on the throne, overlooking Zhao Boyan from a high position. The loud voice echoed in the hall, very loudly.
Under the dim light, Zhao Boyan lowered his head and knelt on the ground. His forehead was clearly covered with fine beads of sweat. His whole body was trembling.
"Forgive me, Lord Marquis, but so far, we haven't collected any information about Wu Mu!"
Zhao Boyan's voice was trembling. He had been in charge of the news agency for Fang Yun for many years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Such a big man came to the capital, and there were so many moths, but he couldn't find any news about Wu Mu!
"What?"
Fang Yun's eyelids twitched, and fire flashed across his pupils. He asked again, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"Before the Marquis set off, I had already passed on the order. We record and back up information about important people like this every day. Under normal circumstances, I can get detailed files in less than half a stick of incense.
.But something surprising happened. The people below actually reported that there was no file. There was only news from three days before Wu Mu’s accident.”
Zhao Boyan's voice was filled with strong uneasiness:
"I was furious at the time. I ordered the people below to find those moths who were responsible for writing the dossier. But unexpectedly, they all disappeared. Although I felt something was strange at the time. I usually have training for these people, and they will not appear at all.
This kind of mistake. Moreover, they are not so bold and dare to run away after making it. Because they know that no matter where they escape, they can't escape my pursuit."
"go on."
Fang Yun's voice was like a calm volcano. It was outrageous that Zhao Boyan made a mistake at such a critical moment!
"I sent a letter at that time, ordering all the people related to this matter to return to the court immediately. But only a few people came back. And they were middle-level people. According to what they said, they did indeed confirm Wu Mu's files.
, it was compiled into a volume and handed in as usual. There is no reason to miss it!"
Zhao Boyan's voice was low and he continued:
"I know something is wrong. Too many moths have disappeared. But no matter what the situation, the first task of our news organization is to collect information as requested by the adults. Therefore, I will soon transfer the moths responsible for other departments to this
Let them find out the news before dark. You know, even if our people disappear, there will always be others who see it. As long as there are witnesses, even if it happened years ago
, we can also find it easily..."
Zhao Boyan stopped here and licked his chapped lips, his anxiety was very obvious.
