Chapter 241: Official Coercion/Civil Revolt
Like the emperor, Xing Tianze also raised a group of dead soldiers, and he never questioned their loyalty to the five princes.
What is a dead man? From the day of the storage talk for their own use, all the people will swear to do anything for Xing Tianze, putting life and death aside, even if it is liver and brain, even if they fail to perform the task, they will automatically choose to kill themselves, so as to cut off any bad influence from the master.
Everyone has said goodbye to their previous lives since the moment they become dead soldiers, and they are destined to be able to hide in the dark corners of the gutter to be inconvenient for the master, and they can't see the things that can't be seen on the table, and the countless killing machines that are full of them are simply not what ordinary people can imagine.
Officially, because of their existence, this game of chess has been played to this day, and so much blood has been stained on the chessboard.
The reason why Xing Tianze's dead soldiers are so powerful is because when he selects people, they are all extremely vicious, and the stories behind almost everyone are inhumane.
This has to be said to be Xing Tianze's boldness, and then he sent them to the battlefield of Baiyue to hone them, and was personally trained by the terrifying Traceless for several years, even in the recent war with Qingcang Kingdom, he also brought the dead soldiers, and used them to capture the Black Dragon City.
As the master of a group of dead soldiers, Xing Tianze could fully understand how difficult it would be to make them bend their waists.
Wuxian waved his hand slightly, so that Xing Tianze didn't have to praise him too much: "The fundamental reason why we were able to convince Yang Yuan is the convenience provided to us by the emperor. ”
Xing Tianze cast a puzzled look when he heard this.
"The dead soldiers we raised used to be masters of decision-making without families and dying in the world." Traceless slowly explained the reason.
Of course, for this kind of extremely dangerous person, the emperor, who is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, certainly does not have the courage to use it, so the person he is looking for is just a person who has committed murder and is extraordinary.
Yang Yuan was originally just a swordsman on the rivers and lakes, with a bold personality and a love of hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and supporting the justice he thought in his heart.
For the officials of the imperial court, in the final analysis, he was just a grass people, and Yangyuan's parents, wives and children all died at the hands of the local county commander's son.
Therefore, Yangyuan can be regarded as an official coercion/civil rebellion, and in the end, together with his younger brother, who is also a swordsman, he slaughtered all the children of the local county commander, and since then the two brothers have left the country.
It just so happened that the emperor had the heart to establish a group of dead soldiers at that time, so he sent many Ouchi masters to search for them in various parts of the Xingzhao Kingdom, and the Yangyuan brothers were naturally selected.
It took three years for Yang Yuan and his younger brother to replace the generals of the dead soldiers, and became the emperor's eyes to spy on the court in secret, and the shadow of dissent.
"Wait, this king wants to know the reason why you persuaded Yang Yuan, but he didn't come to listen to his previous story." Xing Tianze waved his hand and stopped the traceless who was talking.
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, listen slowly." Traceless continued.
When Traceless sent someone to find out about Yang Yuan's existence, he asked people to collect all the things about him.
In the end, Traceless got a very favorable news, when Yangyuan's parents, wife and children died tragically, he had a six-year-old son who ran away because of playfulness, and he was lucky to escape because he was not at home at the time.
"You blackmailed his son by having him find out?" Xing Tianze was very direct and cut to the topic.
"No, no, no, what I wrote is not a threat, it is that after Yang Yuan was defeated by me, he voluntarily exchanged his life for his son's peace and prosperity for a lifetime." Traceless hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
Xing Tianze took a deep breath when he heard this, and slowly walked to the window to look at the plum blossoms that were still blooming in the courtyard.
But as a father, he exchanged his life for his son's life, which couldn't help but make Xing Tianze look up to him a little in his heart.
"I said the emperor helped us, right?" Wuxian looked at Xing Tianze's back and continued to speak: "It's his people who are ineffective and haven't figured everything out, and Yang originally worked hard for the emperor because he thought he knew everything, I just picked up the cheapest of them." ”
"Where is Yohara's son now?" Xing Tianze didn't ask.
"I opened an inn in Suzhou with a few of his childhood friends, and I have already sent someone to go over with a hundred taels of gold." Without a trace, remember that Xing Tianze would ask at this time, so he had already sent someone to handle the matter.
Xing Tianze didn't say anything more, and nodded silently......
The next time was beyond the expectations of all the ministers, the emperor did not take the initiative to find any trouble with the fifth prince, and Xing Tianze did not take advantage of the victory to chase after him to pick anything.
Both of them seem to have chosen to settle down, the emperor tightly asked people to handle the affairs of the three princes, Xing Tianze except for dealing with some accidents, took Tao Mingxi around the capital, and lived a happy life.
This kind of stability made many ministers accept it with peace of mind, because the two did not collide excessively, and no one played the role of an outcast to add blood to the chessboard for the time being.
However, there are still some old ministers who are clear about the high definition, and under this seemingly calm curtain, an earth-shattering storm is actually brewing.
There is already so much blood in the middle game, and when the game is over, will it be done?
Nine out of ten officials in the DPRK and China have chosen the team, and this time they also put their own lives on the line, and if they win, everything will be fine, and if they lose, they will be put on the execution ground with nothing.
A month passed quickly, and the funeral of the three princes could be regarded as beautiful, and there was no humiliation as the princess of a country.
In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and a eunuch next to him took a step forward: "There is a book, nothing to retreat!" ”
"The emperor has a book." An old minister suddenly stood up and said respectfully: "In another month is the emperor's birthday, and the minister feels that the whole country will celebrate together, and set up a banquet to invite the rest of the countries to show the majesty of our emperor." ”
"The emperor thinks it's inappropriate." As soon as the minister's words fell, another minister stood up: "In recent years, our country has encountered natural disasters, and not long ago experienced a major war, and the treasury has been unable to make ends meet. ”
"Bold, Lord Liu, do you dare to say that the emperor's birthday is a waste of profligacy?" An old minister stood up and reprimanded sharply.
