126. Antecedents and consequences
After Wu Zetian's explanation, Wang Bo finally understood the cause and effect of the incident.
It turned out that half a year ago, there was an incident in the palace that plotted to usurp the throne.
The main messenger was a palace guard named "Zhou Tai".
And this Zhou Tai is also the original discoverer of the magic bead.
As for how Zhou Tai discovered the magic bead, no one knows, but Zhou Tai did obtain the magic bead and gained great power from the magic bead.
But the magic bead can bewitch people's hearts, and Zhou Tai's reason is gradually bewitched by the magic bead, and he has thoughts that he shouldn't have.
He wants to be the emperor, the emperor above 10,000 people.
So Zhou Tai used the power of the magic bead to erode several companions, turning his own companions into puppets of the magic bead, and then one night, he launched a coup d'état.
They planned to kidnap Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, so as to stage a scene of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Then, when the time was ripe, Li Zhi wrote down the book of Zen and became the emperor in the name of the emperor.
There is no doubt that no matter who thinks of it, this is an impossible plan to succeed, but Zhou Tai, who has been bewitched by the magic bead, doesn't care so much.
Within a few days, he and his companions staged a coup d'état.
Zhou Tai's group successfully captured Li Zhi and wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but underestimated Li Zhi's importance to Li Tang Jiangshan, and the kidnapped Li Zhi refused any request from Zhou Tai's group.
Then, the plan of Zhou Tai's group was revealed, and they were surrounded by the forbidden army of the palace.
There was a bloody battle between the two sides.
Zhou Tai's group was killed by the forbidden army after several hours of resistance.
But before he died, Zhou Tai's group killed hundreds of forbidden soldiers, and even injured Emperor Li Zhi.
This incident surprised Wu Zetian.
Zhou Tai's group of people was just a few people, but they killed hundreds of times more enemies, which was incredible, and Wu Zetian quickly ordered Chi Zhenjin, the secretary of Dali Temple, to investigate the reason.
Yu Chi Zhenjin soon searched for magic beads in Zhou Tai's house!
However, at that time, Yu Chi Zhenjin did not care about the magic bead, which caused the magic bead to bewitch one of Yu Chi Zhenjin's subordinates, who stole the magic bead and planned to escape.
Yu Chi Zhenjin hurriedly pursued, and everyone found his men. But Yu Chi Zhenjin's subordinates have been eroded by magic beads and turned into demons, almost single-handedly fighting against many masters of Dali Temple.
In the end, Yu Chi Zhenjin killed the traitor after paying for the lives of more than a dozen of his men.
It was at this time that Yu Chi Zhenjin discovered the secret of the magic bead.
Then, he handed over the magic bead to Wu Zetian.
After Wu Zetian obtained the magic bead, if she obtained the treasure, she initially wanted to use the magic bead to create a group of masters.
Just imagine, just a few people can kill hundreds of forbidden troops, if you can create hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of such masters in batches, then the Tang Dynasty can be invincible and invincible.
The world is so big, who else is the opponent of Datang?
No!
But soon, Wu Zetian discovered one thing, it is true that anyone who holds a magic bead will gain great power in a short period of time, but on the contrary, this group of people will lose their minds, like demons, and they will not be able to obey orders at all.
To put it bluntly, the orb can only create disaster.
This is completely different from Zhou Tai's group, you must know that although Zhou Tai's group of people has gained great strength, they have not lost their minds, and even know that they are holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes.
Therefore, Wu Zetian concluded that the magic bead must have a secret.
As long as the secrets can be cracked, powerful soldiers can be created in batches.
So Wu Zetian secretly transferred the magic bead to the cold palace, and used the death row prisoner to test the secret of the magic bead, whenever the death row prisoner mutated and lost his mind, he would not hesitate to order the eradication of the death row prisoner.
And the reason why all this was carried out by Wu Zetian was because Li Zhi was seriously injured.
Although he picked up a life, he lingered on the bed all day long, and it was difficult to get up, so in the past six months, Wu Zetian has handled all government affairs alone.
Including, using death row prisoners to crack the secrets of the magic beads.
However, Wu Zetian underestimated the ability of the magic bead to bewitch people's hearts, even though she was on guard in every possible way, the magic bead still bewitched a group of death row prisoners, as well as the guards who guarded the death row prisoners and guarded the magic beads.
By the way, Grandpa Li was also one of them at that time.
In the end, a group of death row prisoners escaped from prison during the cold palace riot that studied the magic beads, although this riot was suppressed by the forbidden army and quickly failed.
However, the bead disappeared in this riot.
Even if Wu Zetian dug three feet into the ground, he didn't find out the whereabouts of the magic bead.
However, in this riot, the only gain is Gonggong Li.
Gonggong Li had lost his mind as a member of the bewitched team at that time, but after being suppressed, he miraculously regained his senses.
And has a strong strength, which is not inferior to Zhou Tai and his party.
Wu Zetian tried, if Gonggong Li was fully armed, it would not be a problem to defeat a team of 100 people head-on.
This made Wu Zetian salivate more and more for the magic bead.
She secretly investigated the whereabouts of the magic bead three or four times, and asked Yu Chi Zhenjin to inquire around and listen to all movements in Luoyang, but in the end she found nothing.
As if the magic bead had evaporated from the world, it had never appeared in the world.
Half a year later, Luoyang Oiran Yin Ruiji suddenly rose and showed a superb swordsmanship, and Yu Chi Zhenjin also doubted it, and even tried it himself.
However, in the end, Yu Chi Zhenjin denied the possibility that Yin Ruiji had the magic bead.
The first is because Yin Ruiji has reason.
The second is because Yin Ruiji's swordsmanship is superb, and the magic bead can indeed give humans great power, but this power is difficult to control, but Yin Ruiji has a superb swordsmanship, and her strength is easy to control.
Therefore, Yu Chi Zhenjin thinks that it is unlikely that Yin Ruiji will obtain the magic bead.
However, it didn't take long for Wang Bo to suddenly show his superb skills and defeat Zhao Wuyan with one punch.
This made Yu Chi Zhenjin suspicious again.
According to the information, both of them are ordinary people, and they have never practiced martial arts, but they seem to have powerful martial arts overnight.
A swordsmanship is superb, and a hard skill is superb. Is this a coincidence?
What's even more interesting is that one of the two people is an Oiran in Luoyang, and the other is a famous prodigal son in Luoyang, who lingers in the land of fireworks and the place of wind and moon all day long. Could this be a coincidence?
In Yu Chi Zhenjin's opinion, some things are indispensable, so Yu Chi Zhenjin suspects that this is very likely not to be a coincidence.
It is true that the magic bead has never given a death row prisoner a powerful martial arts.
But can't the Orb really do that?
After all, they really didn't know much about the magic beads, so Yu Chi Zhenjin immediately told Wu Zetian about this matter, and Wu Zetian made a decision after thinking for a while.
It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one.
