As Hu Tianxing's last word fell, there was only the rustle of the wind and grass in the field, and the world was quiet.

Xia Sheng didn't speak, but looked at Hu Tianxing's eyes calmly, and asked four words casually.

"What's the proof?"

Xia Sheng's calmness greatly exceeded Hu Tianxing's expectations, because for Xia Sheng, such an old-fashioned story, such a secret story of killing a king and killing his father, in the 30,000 years he has seen, is not an earth-shattering truth at all.

Turning over the past of human history, the royal inheritance of all dynasties, which one is not full of bones and blood?

What's more, Hu Tianxing was not the only person in the world who had ever doubted Emperor Gaozong's death.

Coincidentally, when Xia Sheng first entered Luoyang and temporarily lived in the Weining Marquis Mansion, he watched the rise and fall of the Dajin Dynasty in one night in the past 500 years, and he raised four very key questions at that time.

The first is about whether there are survivors among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.

The second is about the death of Emperor Gaozong.

The third is related to the change of Chengtianmen.

The fourth is related to the rehabilitation of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.

These four problems do not exist alone, but are inextricably linked to each other, such as Xu Qiuchao, the prince of Zhenguo who took on a heavy responsibility in the Chengtianmen Change, in Xia Sheng's view, it is likely to be one of the seven sages of the bamboo forest in the past, the golden armor spirit saint, and the descendant of Xu Bei!

And the current emperor's rehabilitation of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest benefited from Xu Qiuran's great military exploits in Chengtianmen?

It's entirely possible!

The only pity is that among these four questions, Xia Sheng never found information related to the death of Emperor Gaozong.

Until today.

He finally confirmed from Hu Tianxing's mouth that the death of Emperor Gaozong was likely to be the cause of the Chengtianmen Change!

And then things get interesting.

But Xia Sheng found out subconsciously. He seems to be missing a very important thread, which completely strung these four questions together, and if he wants to find this thread, the only hope is pinned on Hu Tianxing.

Then, he saw Hu Tianxing hand the rusty piece of iron in his hand to his eyes.

"Prove it!"

Xia Sheng took the iron sheet. After a closer look, he asked, "What is this?"

Hu Tianxing's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This is the murder weapon we found on the corpse of Emperor Gaozong, after comparison, His Royal Highness and I can already conclude that this fragment comes from the former crown prince and master, Bai Chuan's portable sword!"

Xia Sheng was slightly stunned, and did not make up his mind about it, but waited for Hu Tianxing to continue.

"Everyone knows it. Emperor Gaozong died during the Fifth Northern Expedition, but the claim that he was infected with wind and cold is too ridiculous, because very few people know that when Emperor Gaozong fell, there were three people by his side to be buried!"

"Which three?"

Hu Tianxing quietly raised three fingers and said word by word: "One of them is the former prince and master I mentioned before. Shirakawa. ”

"The second is the general Shenwei who was in charge of the Northern Expedition. Zhu Yuanba!"

"Third, he is one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, the descendant of the Golden Armor Spirit Saint Xu Bei, Xu Yidao!"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Sheng's face suddenly froze, because of Hu Tianxing's words. Finally let him find that vital thread.

Xu family!

Xu Bei in the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Xu Yidao in the murder of Emperor Gaozong, and Xu Qiuchao, who played a vital role in the Chengtianmen Change, these three people happened to participate in the three most significant turbulences and turning points in the 500-year history of the Dajin Dynasty!

And they. It's all the Xu family!

Is it a coincidence or a necessity?

In an instant, Xia Sheng seemed to be empowered, and the indispensable historical timeline in his heart was finally pieced together at this moment!

Five hundred years ago, when Emperor Taizu gathered the power of the ten powerhouses of the Dawn Breaking Realm on the top of Buzhou Mountain and buried the regent Luoqiu, he opened the prelude to the pursuit of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.

Among them, Wang Wu, who was sanctified in the flesh, Xiao Yuanshan, the first pope of the state religion, and Sima Fengfeng, the general of Huyong, were beheaded on the street to show the public.

Xu Bei, the golden armor spirit saint, was imprisoned in the Fenghuo Forest in Bianzhou, and waited until Emperor Xingzong succeeded to the throne for thirty years, and then died suddenly.

Ying Tianwu, the master of the formation path, was imprisoned in the belly of Buju Mountain, and was made into the formation eye of the Spring and Autumn Academy to guard the mountain, until half a month ago, he finally waited for Xia Sheng's return and regained his freedom.

The last one, the white-clothed sword saint Mu Chenyi, has not seen anyone alive or dead until today.

Except for Mu Chenyi, then among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, the one who actually lived the longest was Ying Tianwu, who had the lowest strength, and then, it was Xu Bei!

Xu Bei even lived longer than Emperor Taizu, and experienced the birth of three generations of kings of the Dajin Dynasty, so his descendants are the most likely to stay in this world.

If there is no accident, his descendants will naturally have a deep blood hatred for the Dajin royal family, just like Xia Sheng.

It's just that they have been enduring it, dormant in the deepest night, waiting for the best opportunity, in order to give the descendants of the Zhao family a fatal blow.

Finally, when Emperor Gaozong, who was eloquent and talented, drove his own expedition and launched the Fifth Northern Expedition, Xu Bei's descendant, Xu Yidao, waited for the most perfect time.

For the first time, he exposed himself to the sun of Dajin, united with the crown prince Bai Chuan, Shenwei general Zhu Yuanba and other strong people, launched an attack on Emperor Gaozong that was enough to change the entire history of Dajin, and at the cost of his life, he successfully died with Emperor Gaozong!

But it's a pity that in that disgraceful battle, Xu Yidao's death did not defeat the entire Zhao royal family, but helped the then crown prince Zhao Xi successfully ascend to the throne, which is today's Emperor Jin.

What is even more unexpected is that half a hundred years after the death of Emperor Gaozong, someone discovered the truth of this period of history that was buried underground.

And this person was the son of Emperor Jin at that time, the crown prince Zhao Rui!

As a result, the history of the Dajin Dynasty has reached another crucial turning point.

The change of Chengtianmen.

What Xia Sheng can be sure of is that the opportunity for the former crown prince Zhao Rui to launch the Chengtianmen Revolution was not only because of the death of Emperor Gaozong, but also because there must be some other factors, such as Zhao Rui's own ambitions, or the instigation of the Seventeenth Route rebels.

But the outbreak of the Chengtianmen Revolution not only threatened the royal family of Dajin, but more importantly, this matter threatened the Xu family, which had just re-emerged with good characters!

Once the truth is revealed to the world, then Xu Yidao is a real rebel and thief, and his crime will inevitably be even deeper than that of his ancestor, Xu Bei.

There is no doubt that once the crown prince Zhao Rui succeeds in seizing the throne, he will definitely raise a butcher's knife against the Xu family!

Of course, Xu Qiuchao could not allow history to repeat itself five hundred years ago, so in the Chengtianmen Change, he was willing to act as the eagle dog of today's imperial court, leading the entire Xu family to pour out of the nest, resisting desperately, and finally beheaded Zhao Rui with a sword in the chaos, which completely established the status of the Xu family in the Dajin Dynasty.

And all this is the truth that Xia Sheng drew from Hu Tianxing's words!

However, Hu Tianxing's voice continued.

"In addition to the three people who died on the spot, His Highness and I also suspect that there should be two accomplices who escaped alive in that battle, one of them was Nalan Ruoxue, the king of the grassland, who claimed to have a serious illness at the same time as Emperor Gaozong's death, and the other was ......"

Thinking of Hu Tianxing's previous claim that Emperor Jin had colluded with the barbarians, as well as the object of Emperor Gaozong's Northern Expedition, Xia Sheng couldn't help but blurt out: "The barbarian high priest, Qi Nu Yan?"

Who would have thought, but Hu Tianxing shook his head with some hesitation: "Before this, I did think so, but His Highness has another candidate in his heart." ”

"Who?"

"Juggernaut. ”
