Chapter Seventy-One: Tu Xianmen
Emperor Xia took Shang Yin down the first floor, and the two walked into the bookcase forest.
He was very interested in the books here, but he was afraid that they were all unique books, and they were extremely difficult to find in the outside world.
The layout of the bookcase was like a maze, and Shang Yin just followed, and he couldn't remember how many circles he had turned.
When Emperor Xia stopped, he gently pushed the bookcase in it, and a portal opened on the stone wall next to it.
Shang Yin didn't think much about it, followed behind Emperor Xia and entered it.
It's a basement with braziers blazing on the walls on both sides of the road.
When they came to the end, there was a man, his body was pierced by many iron cables, his body was covered in blood, and there were many hideous wounds, which was shocking.
On one table, there was a piece of paper full of words, as well as a handprint.
"Cao Xiu?" Although he looked embarrassed, Shang Yin still recognized it.
"Yes, there is his confession on this, this is my Xia Guo's shame on you, I hope you can be considerate, this matter cannot be made public, and you need to be cautious. Emperor Xia restrained his expression and said.
Shang Yin came to the table and looked at it, and it was about Cao Xiu's assassination of his parents back then.
Seeing these words, Shang Yin only felt angry, before he only deduced that it was done by someone in the Hongwu army, but he didn't know who it was, but he didn't expect it to be Cao Xiu?
"Cao Xiu, you can actually do such a thing, aren't you afraid of retribution? At the moment of national crisis, you actually collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!" Shang Yin looked angry and roared.
Cao Xiu's eyes were full of fear when he looked at Emperor Xia, these days he only felt that life was worse than death, and he said weakly: "Back then, I was only a deputy general of the Ninth Battalion of the Hongwu Army, and Gonggong Hong asked me to hand over the surprise attack route of Sanxiu led by the Shangxing Dao couple to a mysterious person, how could I not listen?" What's more, after doing that, it can make my status in the Hongwu Army have a greater promotion, even if I don't do this, there are other people who will do it, I can only blame your parents' bad lives, they are just a group of loose cultivators, dead is dead, no harm!"
"If it is said that my parents were ambushed and were killed by others, then my grandmother should be too?" Shang Yin's face sank, he didn't expect Cao Xiu to have such an attitude at this time.
"I don't know about the Goddess of Luojia at all, a person of that level is not something I could get in touch with at that time!" Cao Xiu only felt that his face changed, it seemed that Shang Yin knew some things back then.
"This matter, Gu also asked, it is indeed unlikely that he will know, Xia Guo is ashamed of you, Shang Yin. Emperor Xia's expression looked a little sad and said.
"Emperor Xia showed me this, but I am afraid that I also understand that with Cao Xiu's confession, the biggest situation is to punish Hong Sheng, and this matter has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. Shang Yin can see that this confession avoids the key point of the Queen Mother, and Emperor Xia's purpose is naturally to pull the Queen Mother down from her current position.
"That's true, but I want you to know that no matter what, I'm on your side, the old immortal master has paid too much for my Xia Kingdom, and now when I see you, I feel ashamed. Emperor Xia sighed, with regret and grief in his expression.
"It seems that Emperor Xia also knew about those things back then. Shang Yin asked.
"I've heard about it, but there's no evidence, so I can't find out. Emperor Xia clenched his fists and looked extremely indignant.
"This is my family matter, I will check it myself, since Cao Xiu has confessed to the incident back then, then it is basically certain that my grandmother was also plotted by a traitor, I hope that Emperor Xia can cooperate with me in this matter." Shang Yin knew that this was the real purpose of Emperor Xia to see him, which was to help him confirm those rumors back then.
"Okay, as long as you say a word, Cao Xiu's life and death are up to you. "Emperor Xia cut the railway.
"Just let him live first, this is the gift that Emperor Xia wants to give me?" Shang Yin quickly collected his emotions and said.
"Of course not, that's what Lone wants to give you. In Emperor Xia's hand, he took out a small jade tassel and said.
"What is this?" Shang Yin was a little puzzled.
"This is the natal weapon cultivated by the queen mother back then, the hairpin, this is part of it, when the war with the barbarians, this thing has never appeared again, the queen mother said that it was because of the battle with the top fairyland of the barbarians, but I don't think so, if you want to go to the barbarians to investigate this matter, I think this should be a very important clue. Emperor Xia looked at Shang Yin with a solemn expression.
"Is Emperor Xia suspicious of the current Queen Mother?" Shang Yin didn't expect that he would be so straightforward, but he still had to pretend.
"I also hope that my suspicions are false, but if it is true, everything will be dealt with according to the laws of my Xia Kingdom, even the queen mother can not be an exception, otherwise, how can the previous emperors of my Xia Kingdom be able to face the people of the world?" ”
"Thank you Emperor Xia, this thing is indeed very important to me. Shang Yin put this jade tassel into the space ring and said, "If there is real evidence at that time, I am afraid that I will bother Emperor Xia." ”
"This is natural, the old immortal master is full of loyalty, if this matter is not clear, how can you face the dead Luojia goddess, Shang brother and wife?" Xia Huang said helplessly: "Back then, I and your father were very close to each other, like brothers, and I was shocked to hear the bad news that day, and I drove to rescue it, but unfortunately it was too late after all." ”
"Thank you Emperor Xia, let's go. "Shang Yin probably also knows the purpose of Emperor Xia.
"Well, if you want to investigate this matter, you also have to pay attention to a sect called Tu Xianmen, this is a sect that specializes in undertaking assassination missions, and it seems to be the backing of a certain big man in the Divine Domain. Emperor Xia took a deep breath and said: "Therefore, this matter is widely implicated, if you really want to investigate, you must be cautious, you need to keep quiet, and you must not rush in." ”
"Tu Xianmen! involves the people behind the Divine Domain? Isn't Grandma originally from the Divine Domain?" Shang Yin remembered, he had an impression of this sect, it was very mysterious, no matter the reason, as long as the price was reasonable, anyone could be killed.
Emperor Xia told himself a lot of information, obviously wanting to borrow his own hand to pull the Queen Mother down from her current position, and only he was the most suitable to shake the foundation of the Queen Mother.
Except for himself, no one else in the entire Xia Kingdom could do it.
If Emperor Xia really had a deep affection for his father, he wouldn't have to wait until this time for him, he would have started to investigate it thoroughly.
Shang Yin knew very well that they were originally in a relationship of using each other.
Emperor Xia wanted to pull the Queen Mother down from that position, and he needed to use Emperor Xia's strength to restrain the Queen Mother and make her have scruples.
"Thank you very much to Emperor Xia for being able to tell me these truths, these things Grandpa has never mentioned to me. Shang Yin knew that he still had to pretend on the surface.
"Presumably, the old immortal master is unwilling to let you get involved in the grievances of their previous generation, and hearing you say this, Mr. Gu feels that he has done something superfluous. Xia Huang said peacefully.
"......" Shang Yin felt that Emperor Xia's words might be true.
Soon, they returned to the attic again, and Shang Yin's mood did not fluctuate in the slightest.
"This son is really unusual, he came out of it, he knew so many things, and his mind was still so stable, and he really didn't see the wrong person. Emperor Xia personally poured tea for Shang Yin, and said with a smile: "Master Shang, you are the humerus of Xia Kingdom, and I am optimistic about you!"
"Thank you Emperor Xia for the gift, then we will stay soon, and we will have to attend the dinner party in a while. Shang Yin really wanted to see what the highest-level dinner party in the Xia Kingdom was like, and he drank the tea in his cup.
"Okay, let the Golden Immortal take you around the palace. Emperor Xia got up and personally sent them out of the Imperial Garden: "We want to have a good drink in the evening!"
"Okay!" Shang Yin smiled and got into the carriage directly.
After seeing them leave, Emperor Xia said to Chen Xuanping beside him: "After a while, through some means, let the queen mother know that Shang Yin is investigating the affairs of the year, let the people on Father-in-law Leng's side know about this matter, and let them know that I told Shang Yin this news." ”
"But I'm afraid that the relationship between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will become more tense, and I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will kill Shang Yin. Chen Xuanping frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
"This matter, anyway, the tension with the queen mother is not a day or two, anyway, I can't fight, what are you afraid of? At this time, I just want to put pressure on her, if Shang Yin finds out, it will ruin the reputation of the Great Xia royal family, after all, it was a national war, and doing that kind of thing, after all, it will chill the hearts of many people, and the queen mother will undoubtedly lose, but if Shang Yin dies, it is only the name of the queen mother, I hope that the queen mother will not be too calm, but no matter how much it costs, it is time for the queen mother to come down from her current position... Emperor Xia came to the tea tree he had planted, and used the boiled tea residue and the remaining tea to fertilize his tea tree.
From the moment the Queen Mother wanted to help Xia Jie take over the position, this had touched the bottom line of Emperor Xia, and he knew that it was imperative, otherwise, once Xia Jie and the Longquan Army became the climate, if the Queen Mother stepped into the realm of the gods, many things would be out of her control.
"The subordinates understand. Chen Xuanping said.
"What about the leaders of Qianzhong Mountain that day?" Emperor Xia asked casually.
"They should have received the news in advance, the world evaporated, when I arrived, the entire Tianfeng Village did not see their trace at all, and all the wealth was swept away, and they have sent people to investigate the whereabouts of these people as soon as possible, but there is still no news. Chen Xuanping said.
"There's no need to check, these people have an inextricable relationship with Hong Wujun, just treat them as if they're dead, Xiahou Xi is still a calf protector, but these people will never see the light of day again. Xia Huang smiled and said, "I think today's dinner should be more exciting." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely go all out and will not let the Queen Mother succeed. Chen Xuanping said respectfully.
"Go ahead. Emperor Xia waved his hand, this Chen Xuanping was the person he pulled up, this was the first spring hunt that year, and for so many years, he was extremely relieved to do things.
