Chapter 296: Guilt
Silently looking at the flickering candle flame on the candlestick, the flow of strange eyes seeping out of his eyes.
Even though he was silent, Xing Tianze had already informed him that the crime of assassinating the emperor and poisoning him was the crime of exterminating the nine clans, and he was the fifth prince of the Xingzhao Kingdom who had some strong brotherhood with the emperor, and he was absolutely unable to commit such a rebellious crime.
However, in the end, someone needs to stand up and take the blame, and the person who comes forward in such a major event must have enough weight, and even more must have a background that belongs to him.
Because if those who support the emperor know who the poisoner is, they will inevitably use all their resources to send people to find out and bring him to justice, so that he can get great credit in front of the emperor, and even secretly operate to pour the disaster on Xing Tianze's head.
The Tang Sect is the most established large sect with a long history, which enjoys a high reputation among the rivers and lakes and has a high prestige in Shu.
Since ancient times, Shu has been called the land of abundance, with fertile land and tens of thousands of miles of fertile land, which can be said to be the granary of the country of Xingzhao.
Anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that if the emperor is poisoned, if it is really unpredictable, then now that the crown prince has not yet been established, the only person who is most qualified to ascend to the throne of Xingzhao State is Xing Tianze.
But now the town guard general of Shu is the one who was highly recommended by Xing Tianze at the beginning, and it can be said that he is a big general under the command of the five princes.
The soldiers stationed in Shu were all those who had followed him alive from the Baiyue battlefield.
Therefore, although Xing Tianze is in the capital, his prestige in Shu is really the work of the five princes, even if someone finds out that this matter is really the work of the five princes, as long as the Tang Sect stands up and apologizes, even if the emperor wakes up, he really has to hesitate again and again.
At this stage, there are countless famine victims in the south of Xingzhao Kingdom, and six or seven tenths of the grain will have to be transported out of Shudi.
Moreover, not many people now know that the Tang Sect has defected to Xing Tianze's command, even if the people from the Tang Sect stand up, no one would think that this is a substitute ghost thrown by the Fifth Prince.
The only thing that made Xing Tianze feel inappropriate was Xuan Shu, he was the leader of the younger generation of the Tang Sect, and he was the beloved son of the Tang Sect master, if he really died in the capital, the fifth prince would really not be able to give an explanation to the Tang Sect.
There was a heavy feeling of thought in the eyes of the traceless, since Xuanshu left the palace that day, he had always locked himself in the house of the Tang Gate in the capital, and he did not go out of the gate all day long.
However, Xing Tianze and Wuxian knew very well what the Tang Sect was doing.
Now they haven't returned the Tang Sect to reward all kinds of benefits from any aspect, so let the young sect master stand up and apologize
Xing Tianze was a little worried that the people under the Tang Sect would be resentful, and if it became a situation of surrendering and refusing to submit, no matter what they did in the future, they would become extremely worried.
"The prince doesn't have to worry about these things, since the people of the Tang Sect have already chosen to stand on our side, then they naturally have to make sacrifices, otherwise, where will their sincerity come from?"
"That being said, if you're not careful, it's counterproductive." Xing Tianze slowly sat down on the chair: "Where is Xuan Shu now?" ”
"Lord Wang, please rest assured that two quarters of an hour ago, I have already sent someone to escort Xuan Shu back to Shu, as for the branch of the Tang Gate, I have also sent someone to destroy it, and before dawn will receive the news that the post place in the city is on fire." Traceless's hands on the table were crossed with each other, and the two thumbs kept rubbing against each other, and there was still a look of extreme worry in his eyes.
Although this matter does not seem to have the slightest flaw on the surface, only they know that there are actually many fatal places, why would Xuan Shu send the antidote to Xing Tianze and the Traceless Mansion after sending someone to poison him?
This is also where Xuan Shu is the smartest, he gave almost all the opportunities to choose to Xing Tianze, and let him and Wuxian decide the emperor's voice.
In addition to prescribing the antidote, Xuan Shu also sent someone to loosen a letter, the content of which showed that the poison in the emperor was the most mysterious one in the Tang Sect, and after being in a coma for ten days after poisoning, people would fall into a state of suspended animation for a long time, and all the vitality would disappear, and others would not be able to detect it at all.
However, once a month has passed, the toxicity will gradually weaken, but if the antidote is not taken, the poisoned person will become dementia even if he wakes up.
In other words, Xing Tianze and Wuxian are now in control of the emperor's life and death, they don't need to do anything, they just need to wait quietly in the palace for ten days, and the emperor will die.
It only takes that time for Xing Tianze to enter the Hall of Daya and truly become the emperor above the 10,000 people in the Xingzhao Kingdom.
"What do you want to do, prince?" Traceless's face was extremely heavy, and such a serious matter was not something that could be talked about in laughter.
Xing Tianze's breathing had already begun to become heavy, this was the first time in his life that he was so close to power, he only needed to be ruthless and this game would end here, and he could truly become the best person in power.
Traceless frowned slightly, this game of chess has developed to this day is a bit beyond his imagination.
In order to make this game exciting enough, Traceless has spent so many years of energy to set up earth-shattering games in various countries, and what he wants is to be shocked when he closes the game at the end.
Because he has no trace to make a man who wants to win the emperor, if he relies on the poison of the Tang Sect to win the emperor, what is he working so hard for?
Xing Tianze's eyes were firmly fixed on the cold sword on the table, he escaped death step by step, and lived to this day, isn't what he is doing is the throne that everyone desires?
However, he himself is not a greedy person, Xing Tianze just wants to live, he doesn't want to suffer any bullying and insults, and there are so many ministers who support him behind him.
What Xing Tianze has to do is to let them continue to live, this game of chess has been played to the situation like today, the dead people and the energy consumed have been enough, and the blood stained on the chessboard has already been conspicuous, so they can't continue to confront the emperor like this.
Fortunately, after so many years, now the moment has finally come to settle the country in one fell swoop, but Xing Tianze's heart began to be entangled, did he really want to make such a move?
Although the emperor was very jealous of him, he had not been left behind for so many years.
Moreover, Xing Tianze's most annoyance with the emperor is that he is ruthless and can still poison his siblings.
But if the fifth prince really poisoned him, what difference would he do from the emperor? Xing Tianze didn't want to become the person he hated the most.
Traceless sighed deeply, and when he wanted to say something several times, the words had already reached his mouth but he swallowed them stiffly, and the study was extremely silent.
