Chapter 217: Murderous Intent Spreads

Zhao Ling's heart was more or less sad, and then he looked at Cen Xiang, the commander of the imperial capital, who was standing outside the main hall, and Cen Xiang understood in his heart, and under the gloomy armor, the beautifully carved iron sword in his hand was gently raised.

Ready to make a move at any time, once he gets Zhao Ling's signal, Cen Xiang will do it on the hall without stopping, so he will not care if these barbarians are not barbaric, rude or not rude.

In the eyes of outsiders, he Cen Xiang is the protégé of Wang Jie, the Taifu of the Jin Kingdom, and belongs to the faction of the old ministers of the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin Kingdom only knows that its monarch is a timid and cowardly person, if it weren't for Zhao Ke's support, he would not have been able to sit on the throne at all, if the news he got now confirmed that Zhao Ke was really dead, which ministers who had previously been subordinated to the Jin Emperor would take direct action.

And Zhao Ling has also been hiding clumsy, these old ministers have unlimited scenery on the surface, and they have the strength of most of the Jin Kingdom, they think that Zhao Ling has the opportunity to sit on the throne only when he stands in front of Zhao Ke, but they don't know that Zhao Ling has secretly buried a lot of foreshadowing not long after accepting the throne over the years.

After all, no one wants to lie on a couch and let other people sleep peacefully.

So where no one noticed, Zhao Ling had already begun to lay out, but Zhao Ke was there before, and these secret hands he prepared did not come in handy.

And he is really grateful to Zhao Ke, and he respects Zhao Ke very much, as long as it is arranged by Zhao Ke, he is used to doing it, in order to repay the kindness of this imperial uncle.

With Zhao Ke here, he will always be the imperial nephew who needs Zhao Ke's blessing because he doesn't grow up, even if the ministers in the hall don't take him seriously, he feels that it doesn't matter.

He is the chess piece that Zhao Ke pushed in front of people, and he also recognized it.

His father's throne originally belonged to his uncle, but unfortunately his uncle gave up the throne to his father.

And when his father died, he also made an edict to pass the throne to his uncle Zhao Ke, but Zhao Ke was still unwilling, but put him, a mediocre prince, on the throne.

At that time, Zhao Ke's ascension to the throne was almost expected, however

Zhao Ke once again let go of the position that thousands of people wanted to get to break the bloodstream.

I don't know how many people in the world can turn against each other for the so-called throne, even between father and son, between brothers, and between loving husbands and wives, let alone between him and his imperial uncle.

Until he sat on the throne, he was always grateful to Zhao Ke, the imperial uncle, a mediocre prince like him, if Zhao Ke had ascended to the throne, then he knew that it would not be a good result to greet him.

Even if Zhao Ke thinks of the old love, there will always be a moment when the old love is exhausted, and his identity as a prince is even more unlikely to be outside, if he is used with ulterior motives, it will be a big crisis for Zhao Ke.

So if his fate is not to ascend the throne and save his life, then his end is to follow his father and go away, and there is no other choice.

Zhao Ke put him on the throne and saved his life, so he was very grateful to Zhao Ke whether he was public or private, even if he was just a puppet of him.

Although Zhao Ling's words frightened the courtiers in the hall at first, when several ministers reacted, they also glanced at each other, and the killing intent in their eyes couldn't help but look at Zhao Ling, and now that Zhao Ke could suppress them, they were almost in power.

didn't take Zhao Ling in their eyes at all, if Zhao Ke was there, what forces Zhao Ke held in his hands, they would still be afraid, but the crazy growth of ambition at this moment couldn't be stopped.

Greedily looked at the high throne, ready to move. In addition to not ascending to the throne himself, in order to prevent Zhao Ling's power from growing and getting out of his control, Zhao Ke also allowed the growth of some ministers' power1 to restrict Zhao Ling's growth.

Now once they are convinced of the news of Zhao Ke's death, then these raised jackals have lost the shackles of the reins, and they will inevitably become real wolves, and the power they have developed over the years can completely stand on their own with the mercenaries of the states and counties of the Chu State.

The local official system of the Jin State is different from that of the Chu State, which has undergone many reforms, and the power of the prefectures and counties has long been weakened very little, but it can still be used when the royal family is declining, and the mercenaries are self-respecting and disobey the dispatch of the imperial court.

And the Jin State is different, each of these ministers has real power

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When the Jin State was established, the founding Jin Emperor was grateful for the courtiers who came out of the Yan State with him to establish the Jin State together, so he treated these courtiers almost as a hospitality.

Many of the descendants of courtiers have their own fiefdoms, manage their own thousands of acres of fertile land, and raise their own thousands of soldiers, but they are not good people.

The family of the Jin State is also the most serious, and every Jin emperor has followed the ancestral system over the years, and he has treated these ministers leniently, which has led to the fact that the power of the Jin State is almost controlled by large and small meritorious families.

has left a disaster for today's situation, and these big families who are accustomed to courtiers also want to sit on that throne to see what it's like.

And the current leader is the six major families, Zhao, Xie, Wang, Li, Song, Liu, these six families are not lighter.

These ministers above the hall are more or less protégés and old friends headed by these six major families, if it weren't for the existence of Zhao Ke in these years, they would have almost included the Jin Kingdom in their own pockets.

These families more or less have a lot of troops in the hands of the Jin State, and the 300,000 troops of the Jin State have nearly 200,000 troops in the hands of these families.

And when Zhao Ke was in power, the method adopted to win over a few and suppress a few made these families who calculated with each other dare not raise their heads.

Now the situation is different, as long as they are convinced again that Zhao Ke is really dead, then the next moment will be the time for them to raise their troops.

After the message went down, Zhao Ling's hand was holding the dragon chair tightly, and his fingers were a little white, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, these families were calculating him, and he was not calculating these so-called wealthy families.

For the upcoming world of great contention, he also has his own ambitions, and he wants to become the emperor who has made great achievements for thousands of years and the people have been immortal.

And Zhao Ke died, then there was a bloody storm in the audience, if this news is fake, then they can all continue to be false and wronged.
