1230, assassination
The emperor sat on the throne of the Ninety-Five, a little tired.
The incident of his poisoning was not revealed.
So now, no one knows.
But the toxin was eating away at his body like crazy, so that his energy was declining so badly that he felt extremely tired all the time.
The voices of the ministers quarrel in their ears, which seemed close and far away.
The helpless Prince Chen, led by the eunuch, stood on the side of the dragon chair.
The little boy of eight or nine years old, when he walked out of the small courtyard for the first time, his face was full of fear, timid, like a little goat trapped in a wolf pack, at a loss, with his head down, twisting the corners of his clothes, and not even daring to come out.
This appearance, in the eyes of the ministers, is even more unbearable.
"Your Majesty's intention to set up a prince is a major event, not in a hurry, perhaps it should be above the early dynasty, so that the hundred officials discuss together, after all, the position of the prince is a big matter. The minister called Zheng Yuan said loudly.
This person is a relative of Empress Zheng in the current dynasty, and he has a good official residence and has a status in the court.
"Exactly. Another minister named Yang Jia also said.
He is the younger brother of Yang Guifei in the harem, and he has some energy in the army.
Everyone else is in the same way.
The emperor gradually felt that he was a little powerless, and his eyes were even a little black, and his heart was even more tired, so he waved his hand and said, "You all stand down, and we will discuss it tomorrow morning." ”
Several ministers bowed down and retired.
When they got out of the imperial hall, several different official groups suddenly became distinct.
"Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry to establish a prince?"
"Could it be that the dragon is sick?"
"Be cautious. ”
"The son of a poor and undignified girl, who has no talent and no virtue, how can he become a prince?"
"It's just that His Majesty is on his knees, and there are no other heirs. ”
"I heard that there is an adopted son by the queen's side......"
"There are other princes and princes in the empire who can succeed to the throne, and they are also of royal blood......"
A group of ministers talked about it.
Zheng Yuan's face was indifferent, he walked out of the palace quickly, and immediately recruited the henchmen around him, asking him to re-enter the palace to ask to see the queen's mother, and he was also thinking in his heart about how to maximize the interests of the Zheng family in this matter.
No matter what, the evil seed born to that girl will never be able to become an emperor.
Yang Jia, the younger brother of Yang Guifei, also has the same idea.
There is also a noble concubine's uncle, Gao Shengwei, who is a member of the first rank of the dynasty and the head of the Gao family among the four major families of Huangji Cliff, as soon as he left the palace, he immediately began to arrange.
In the main hall, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, drowsy.
He beat his spirits and turned his head to look at Prince Chen.
Black hair and black eyes are not like him, and his timid and cowardly expression is too far from the image of the prince in his mind.
It's embarrassing.
"Do you really want to pass on the throne of my lineage to others?"
The Emperor sighed in his heart.
"Come on, let the prince stay here, order Gao Yingyuan to take care of it, tomorrow morning, bring together to participate in the court meeting, spread my will, tomorrow morning the issue of the court, is to determine the candidate for the position of the prince, not to discuss anything else. ”
He said in a deep voice.
The eunuch next to him said, "Obey." ”
Then he took Prince Chen down.
Isn't enough to have a better attitude, anyway, this commoner prince has the possibility of inheriting the throne, although this possibility is very small, but he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
When Emperor Chen left, he turned his head and glanced at the emperor timidly.
The eyes were clear, with a hint of concern.
Although he was young and dull, he was not stupid, and vaguely understood that this tired man sitting on the dragon chair was his father.
Since he was born, the image of his father is completely blurred in his memory, and he has never seen this high-ranking father for as long as he can remember, and his mother always told him that his father was too busy to worry about family and country affairs to come to see him.
In the hearts of children, there will not be too much resentment, only expectation.
So when he vaguely felt that his father, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was very tired, and in this tiredness, there was a kind of twilight atmosphere, which made the little boy a little worried.
But soon, he left under the guidance of the great eunuch.
Only the Emperor noticed the look in the little boy's glance back.
I don't know why, his heart was touched fiercely.
It was a look he had never seen before.
"Maybe it's a good boy, but it's a pity. ”
The Emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He stood up with a strong spirit, took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and in exchange for a confidant who was absolutely trusted, he said: "You quietly go out of the palace and give this letter to Prince Mu to see." ”
"Yes. ”
The little eunuch went out with the letter.
......
......
Li Mu lay on the recliner in the living room in the front yard, looking at the starry sky.
It has been more than two years since he came to the fairy world, and his cultivation has been greatly improved, and now there is no big problem between the vertical and horizontal state capitals, and his identity and personality have gradually been established.
In his original plan, the next step was to continue the state capital war, and exterminate the Eastern Xuan Immortal Sect, the One Sword Sect, the Luoyun Sect and other thirty-six sects that participated in the slaughter of the creatures of the Chaos World at that time.
Huangji Cliff is no exception.
It's just that the news that Xia Jing suddenly brought broke his plan.
"A Peak Immortal King's Inheritance Immortal Mansion is worth the risk. ”
"Of course, more importantly, there is a clue to the Sword God Emperor Ding Hao. ”
"Back then, Shiyu went straight to the fairy world in the battle of guarding the formation channel, which should be related to Ding Hao, if he can catch this line, then not only can he find Wang Shiyu, but he should no longer be fighting alone. ”
In Li Mu's heart, he gradually made a decision.
He is going to participate in the battle for the [Siming Immortal Mansion].
After Xia Jing left, he consulted some information and learned that after the Immortal Collapse Era, the Immortal Realm was divided into five continents, namely the Southern Heavenly Continent, the Eastern Holy Continent, the Western Mirror Continent, the Northern Chaos Continent, and the Central Chaos Shattered Region.
The first four continents are now all under the control of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's Immortal Court.
The central area was the most beautiful and beautiful place in the fairy world in the past, and the territory was also the largest, it was once the territory of the lord of the former fairy world, and then the immortal collapse occurred, this area was the center of the big explosion, so this once most beautiful place became a Jedi forbidden land full of danger, death and murder.
It is said that this area is shrouded in the Chaos Annihilation Storm, and the out-of-control space-time crack is enough to tear apart an Immortal King in an instant, and even the Immortal Monarch and Immortal Emperor are reluctant to enter it.
And the many immortal forces and powerhouses who resisted the rule of the Immortal Court of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, their vitality was tenacious like cockroaches and mice, and they hid in this area.
These people are collectively known as the rebels.
The rebels took this extremely dangerous area as their base camp, and after paying a huge price, they found some safe areas, stationed in them, and constantly fought guerrilla warfare with the Xianting conquest army.
And the Divine Emperor Army, which erected the banner of the Sword God Emperor, was one of the three largest rebel armies.
The other two rebel armies are the Imperial Army and the Human Emperor Army.
"The three strongest rebel armies should be the armies of Ding Hao, Ye Qingyu and Sun Fei in the mouth of the old god...... It turned out that they had already come to the fairy world. ”
At this time, Li Mu finally had a clear understanding of the pattern of the fairy world.
His own identity can be regarded as a chaotic army.
"We must connect with the rebels as soon as possible. ”
And this time the competition for the [Siming Immortal Mansion] is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just thinking about it, Yuan Roar led a little eunuch in.
"Your Majesty's handwritten letter, let the servants hand it over to the prince. ”
In front of the famous Prince Mu, the little eunuch was obviously a little in awe, and his posture was extremely humble.
"Oh?"
Li Mu stood up, took the letterhead with a solemn expression, and quickly read it and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he nodded and said to the little eunuch: "You go to reply to Your Majesty, tomorrow morning, I will go on time." ”
The minion took his leave. ”
The little eunuch came out of the free house, and his clothes were soaked.
Although Prince Mu did not embarrass him, the coercion naturally released by the supreme powerhouse had already made him covered in cold sweat, no wonder Prince Mu could sweep the invincible Dongxuan Immortal Gate, it was really terrifying and unfathomable.
Li Mu was in the hall and returned to the recliner.
"The residual poison in the emperor's body has developed to such an extent that the primordial gods have been eroded, and it is not long in time, which is unexpected. ”
Li Mu was quite surprised.
He hadn't seen that before.
If the emperor died, it would have a certain impact on Li Mu's plan.
The question of succession to the throne has become somewhat delicate.
Li Mu pondered.
Suddenly, his expression moved slightly.
"There are a couple of little mice, mixed in. ”
There was a gleam in his eyes.
......
In the firewood courtyard.
"The gods of the past, the ancestors and the ancestors, please bless Chen'er and come back safely, the little woman Yin Ping'er, is willing to pay any price. ”
The young and beautiful maid was still kneeling on the ground, her hands folded, facing the moon, and praying devoutly.
Suddenly, a figure, as fast as lightning, crossed the courtyard wall, and a sword light pierced the poor maid.
In a hurry, the maid reacted a little, rolled against the ground, and dodged the sword.
After all, she still has the cultivation of the slave fairy realm.
The people who came to assassinate her were not very strong, they were just the peak of slave immortals.
"Who are you, and why did you kill me?"
The little maid stepped back and asked in a loud voice.
The sound came out, and the guards guarding the door outside must have heard rushing in.
Under the shadow of the moon, a masked man in black with his whole body shrouded in black robes, holding a sword in his hand, slowly approached.
"Hehe, don't bother in vain, people outside won't care if you live or die. The black-clothed killer sneered, and the sword light flashed under the moon, and the killing machine flowed.
The little maid's heart sank into the ice cave.
"My son...... What's wrong with him? He's still alive, isn't he?"
At the moment of life and death, her first reaction was not her own safety, but her son's life and death.
"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, when you die, you will soon be able to see your son...... You mother and daughter will be reunited soon. ”
The black-clothed killer said coldly.
This sentence made the little maid feel confused and suddenly panicked.
This is the moment.
The black-clad killer slashed his sword again.
He stimulated the little maid with words, waiting for the moment when it was in chaos, and he wanted to kill the enemy with one blow, so as not to delay, after all, this was the former palace, closer to Xiaoyaoju, near the residence of Prince Mu, and it was possible to make too much noise and cause trouble.
This is also one of the reasons why the above will send him a small Slave Immortal Peak, instead of other Flying Immortals, Immortal-level powerhouses to carry out the mission.
