Chapter 151: Yue Piao becomes the new head of the family
And as the organizer of the exhibition, when he saw the emperor's corpse, the whole person fell to the ground in shock, although the emperor is the puppet of their four families, but it is not easy to be killed, now that the emperor has died at the event he held, he will be severely punished by the head of the family when he goes home.
Probably, I'm going to be locked up for a year or two!
The astonishing news began to spread outside the venue.
Someone ran to look for Miss Lala, but when they went to the room, they found that Miss Lala had long since disappeared, and even the sword that Miss Lala was carrying was also missing.
At present, no one has linked the disappearance of Miss Lala with the murder of the emperor.
But when the believers found that their oracle was gone, and that the current Son of Heaven had been assassinated, they only felt that their heavens had collapsed.
Yue Piao tracked all the way, he used the resources of the Yue family, and someone provided mounts along the way, and he rode all the way.
And although Tang Xiao also made preparations in advance when he escaped, this was an enemy camp after all, and he couldn't prepare very well.
He had no choice but to disguise himself as a passerby, flee to the city gate as fast as he could, and after escaping from the Song capital, he changed into a new face and coat, pretended to be an ordinary pedestrian, and walked slowly.
Yue Piao had already guessed that it was impossible for him to catch up with Tang Xiao, after all, Tang Xiao had such a clever disguise technique, and if Tang Xiao wanted to hide in the sea of people, he couldn't tell at all.
However, there is still such a coincidence in the heavens.
As he was pursuing, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a passer-by holding a sword in his hand.
He immediately stopped his mount and turned to stare at the passerby.
Tang Xiao looked at Yue Piao's eyes and found that he was still careless.
He said, "Are you going to stop me?"
"Sure enough, it's you!" Yue Piao said, "Why did you want to run away?" You promised me to help me ascend to the position of head of the family, but you haven't done it yet, and you're leaving?"
Tang Xiao said with a smile: "It's already done." When you go home now, you can become the new head of the house. ”
Yue Piao sneered: "Are you fooling me?"
"Don't believe it, pull it down. I'm leaving anyway, don't try to stop me!"
"I'm going to take you back?
Tang Xiao completely exposed his breath: "I'm sorry, I'm also a Jindan monk." ”
Yue Piao was slightly surprised, he didn't know when Tang Xiao became a Jindan monk, and even his momentum was not much better than him.
But he still wouldn't back down.
He stubbornly insisted: "Presumptuous! Get back to me immediately!"
Tang Xiao held the hilt of the sword in his hand, stared at Yue Piao coldly, and said, "Is this how you treat your benefactor? Don't force me to draw my sword, otherwise my sword will tell you what you should pay attention to?"
At this moment, his momentum rose sharply, like a fierce beast that loved people, staring at Yue Piao.
Yue Piao couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
Although he was a veteran Jindan monk, Tang Xiao's momentum completely crushed him, making him unable to afford to compete.
What's more, Tang Xiao's words are really domineering, is there really anything wrong with his attitude?
Of course, if he wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that after Tang Xiao drew his sword, what the sword would make him pay attention to was just reversing.
Well, this is a sword that comes with a reversing BGM that pays attention.
Yue Piao was finally frightened, and he pulled the reins of his mount, causing the mount to take a few steps back, making way for Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao's hand finally let go of the hilt of the sword.
It's so dangerous, but fortunately I didn't draw my sword!
I was almost embarrassed by that embarrassing BGM!
He didn't talk nonsense anymore, and went straight to Yue Piao, heading towards Xizhou.
Yue Piao looked at his back, finally sighed, and then drove his mount back to the Song capital.
At this time, the Song capital was already in an uproar because of the emperor's murder.
Yue Piao had nowhere to go, so he returned directly to Yue's mansion.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, a subordinate hurriedly greeted him, panting and saying, "Young Master, you are finally back! ”
Yue Piao's heart chuckled, and he suddenly remembered what Tang Xiao had said before leaving, when he returned to Yue's Mansion, he would be the new head of the family.
Is this true?
He hurried towards the mansion and hurried to the old master's bedroom.
The old man was lying on the sickbed, and when he saw him return, he smiled with difficulty.
After he greeted the old master, the old master gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper immediately asked the subordinates who were in charge of serving around him to step down, and only the old master, Yue Piao and the housekeeper were left in the bedroom.
Yue Piao was puzzled and looked at the old master expectantly.
The old man said: "Do you want to become the new head of the Yue family after the old man?"
Yue Piao was taken aback, he didn't expect it to be so direct.
But he nodded anyway, "Yes." ”
The smile on the old man's face became even kinder: "You are a good boy, and you have risen at such a fast speed, which the old man has never seen in his life." ”
"The head of the house has an overreputation. ”
The old master's words changed sharply: "You planned the murder of the emperor behind your back, right?"
Yue Piao's heart chuckled.
He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
The old man said: "Don't be nervous, there are no outsiders here, let's tell the truth, the old man doesn't mean to blame you." ”
Yue Piao didn't answer directly, but asked tentatively, "How did the head of the family know?"
He was now worried that many people would know that it had something to do with him.
"The old man guessed. Don't worry, if you don't stay in the position of the old man, it will be difficult for outsiders to guess this answer. ”
The old family owner paused and said: "In the activities held by the Ding family, Qiu Wanqian killed the emperor in public, which did not benefit the Qiu family at all, but it can make people mistakenly think that the Qiu family and the Ding family colluded together, and the victims were the Qiu family and the Ding family. Therefore, the person who planned this matter must be from the Gui family or our Yue family, thinking that the old man's limit is approaching, our Yue family is about to change hands, and the younger generations are trying their best to express themselves, so the person who plans this matter is likely to come from the younger generations of our Yue family. And you are the most outstanding child among them, and the old man found out that the kid in the Dingjia family had said in public that you were going to hold the same event before holding this event, so the old man guessed that you were the person behind the scenes. ”
"The head of the house is wise. Yue Piao said this, but he was secretly dumbfounded in his heart.
Now he is completely convinced of Tang Xiao.
Who is the old master? An absolute generation of heroes.
But is such a character, Tang Xiao actually knows the thoughts of the old family master completely.
It's terrifying, it's scary to think about!
The old master said again: "You have proved your strength to the old man, it is indeed good, you are the first young man who can make Ding Chongrui's old fox deflated, and it is very likely that he will not think that you did it, this is the most clever place for you." What would you do if the old man asked you to inherit the position of head of the family?"
"Ahh
But he still recovered very quickly, and Zhengse said: "Ally with the Gui family." There is also the royal family, although they have become decorations, but they still have a trace of heritage after all, if they try their best, they can also fight with the Yuanying monks, so the royal family can also be co-opted. Our tripartite forces secretly combined, and then stabilized the Ding family, first dealt with the Qiu family, and when the Qiu family was cleaned up, then turned around to deal with the Ding family. ”
He thought about it, felt that it was inappropriate, and added: "However, Ding Chongrui, the head of the Ding family, is a well-known old fox, and he will soon figure out the twists and turns, so he will definitely form an alliance with the Qiu family before the Qiu family is completely cleaned up, so he must give the Qiu family a heavy blow before the Ding family reacts."
Of course, in the end, the Qiu family will still form an alliance with the Ding family, and since then a situation of confrontation between the two parties has formed in the court. But in any case, our side has a better chance of winning, so in the long run, it will be us who will win in the end. ”
The old master bowed his head lightly in satisfaction.
He suddenly remembered something and said, "You arranged for someone to pretend to kill the emperor's Qiu Wanren, right? Where did you find a helper who is so skilled in disguise skills?"
Yue Piao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That's just a friend I know." ”
"Oh, bring him to the house another day, the old man wants to know such strange people. ”
"I can't bring it back. Tell the truth. Yue Piao paused and said, "He has been killed by his nephew." ”
"Oh. "The recovery of the old family owner was very uneventful, with neither regret nor encouragement.
He looked at the butler on the side and said, "Gather the relatives of the entire family to come back, as long as you are in power, no matter how far away you are, call them all back, and in five days, I will hold a family meeting to announce one thing." ”
The butler nodded: "Yes." ”
Five days later, a shocking news came from the Yue family, and Yue Piao was chosen as the heir to the head of the Yue family.
Ten days later, the old master died, and Yue Piao succeeded to the throne, becoming one of the four most powerful figures in the country.
And the Guiyue Alliance has already been secretly formed.
The Qiu family also suffered a heavy blow. Thirty percent of the seats in the cabinet were lost, many dependent families changed courts, and a talented junior was suspected of being retaliated against by the royal family, and died in the wilderness inexplicably, and the real culprit could not be found.
On the same day that Yue Piao succeeded to the throne, Ding Chongrui finally reacted, and he hurriedly formed an alliance with the Qiu family.
Interestingly, many of the small families who rebelled away from the Qiu family before took refuge in the Ding family, and now, those small families became victims and sacrificed for the alliance of the two families.
On the other hand, because the emperor was killed, although the new emperor was quickly elected, it still caused turmoil in the Song capital.
Therefore, the Song State had to compromise on the Song and Qin battlefields.
In the end, after negotiations between the two countries, after the Song State ceded two provinces at the expense, the Qin State agreed to strike the army, and the two sides officially shook hands and made peace.
The two provinces that were sacrificed were originally attached to the Qiu family, but this time, the Qiu family was bleeding hemorrhage.
But because the Song court no longer suffered from the two-front war, the Song court had more energy to clear the internal troubles.
The Song court began to send additional troops to Xizhou, which doubled the pressure on the Chinese army in Xizhou.
