Chapter 3 Rivalry
"Princes fighting?"
Hearing Liu Yu say the beginning, Bai Ya's face showed a hint of incredulity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, now Meng Mian, the king of Shu, is seriously ill and can no longer be a director. Now only relying on the treasure of heaven and earth to hang his life, it will be half a year in a short time, and he will die in a year in a long time. Liu Yu's eyes closed, and a fine light flashed.
"What about the current crown prince?" Bai Ya asked curiously.
He has only cared about cultivation all these years, and he doesn't know anything about the Shu court.
"The original crown prince was the second among the many children of the King of Shu, and he was just deposed three years ago, I heard that it was because of the ......habit of breaking sleeves," Liu Yu said with a strange face, "The new prince has not yet been established. ”
"Oh......" White Cliff didn't know what to say.
The royal family of the Shenzhou world is different from the feudal dynasty in his previous life, and it is very important for the new king who ascends the throne to be born. In this way, as many descendants as possible can be left, so that it is convenient to choose a virtuous king in the future.
Otherwise, they are all crooked melons and cracked dates, the country is a mess, and the Xianwu Sect will be reshuffled, so for the sake of their own lives and future, the noble ministers of the court not only want to choose the virtuous king, but also require this virtuous king to be more able to give birth.
As a result, the habit of broken sleeves has become a big problem, just like Meng Mian, the king of Shu today, is a capable master. He doesn't have three thousand beauties in the harem, the queen and concubines only have four wives, and he has nine children, six princes, and three princesses, which is not a few.
"Master, what are you going to do?" asked Bai Yahu suspiciously.
"It's not that this seat wants you to do anything, but the sect has been invited by others and wants you to help a prince who is competing for succession!" Liu Yu said with a smile.
"The sect asked a certain to help the prince of Zhengxiang?" Bai Ya was even more surprised, "But...... Master, isn't the Xianwu Sect constrained by the Immortal Fan Oath and can't intervene in the affairs of the court?"
"That's right, but this matter is okay, and it is also a hole that Xianfan deliberately let go when the oath was established. Liu Yu explained with a smile.
The appearance of the Immortal Oath itself is to restrict the martial artists of the sect from interfering in secular affairs, so as to prevent the major sects and the hundreds of schools of thought from starting wars for their own ideas and bringing major disasters to the human race.
This point was already clear in the Second Warring States period.
However, the kings and court officials themselves were taught by the hundreds of schools of thought, and the influence of the Xianwu Sect was even more deeply rooted in the army and military attachés at all levels, and it was impossible to completely isolate the collision of ideas between the various families.
Therefore, when the Xianfan Oath was established, it opened up a hole and allowed the Hundred Schools of Sons and the Immortal Martial Sect to intervene in the struggle for the throne of each generation of kings. Although this kind of competition is cruel, after all, it does not involve the common people, so even the six doors will not pursue the Xianwu Sect in this matter.
In fact, there are two benefits to this battle for succession.
First, it is conducive to cultivating a shrewd king, at least the winner of the competition will not be Qin II, Liu Chan and other waste dim sum. The second is to train the new generation of rookies in the sect, so that they can increase their understanding of the court and politics.
"Then, the previous generation of Shu King Meng Mian ......" Bai Ya's eyes flashed, and he asked with a frown.
"Yes, the previous generation of Shu kings admired Huang Lao's teachings, and there were people from various sects around him. It's just that among the two factions of Emei and Qingcheng, he is more inclined to Emei martial artists, so we don't have much influence on him!" Liu Yu said helplessly.
"Master, according to your meaning, which sect to invite to help you is the choice of those princes and princesses?" Bai Ya heard the voice in Liu Yu's words.
"Well, generally they prefer whichever school they prefer, they will invite the martial artists of which school. Liu Yu nodded in response, "But our Daomen are too powerful in Shu, so even if the king favors Confucianism, Famo and other factions, he will still invite us." ”
"Oh, but ...... Why is so, so-and-so who doesn't know anything about the affairs of the court?" Bai Ya said with some resistance, he didn't want to be trapped in the palace of the king of Shu for the next half a year.
"Hehe, you don't need to help others with advice, you're just a guard. Don't bring your mouth, just your eyes and ears, and protect the person you deserve. Liu Yu said with a smile, "This kind of battle for succession may encounter many elite disciples of various sects, do you want to miss the battle with these people?"
"Real sword ~ gun contest?" Bai Ya rolled his eyes and asked curiously.
"That's right, there is no limit to life and death!" Liu Yu nodded indifferently.
"Even if the other party is also a disciple of a famous and decent family?" Bai Ya narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes, even if the other party is a disciple of a famous and decent family!" Liu Yu said seriously, "This is a private war that can be fought without regard to the identity of the other party and the backstage in addition to the war between the two countries and the sect fight, and no one will pursue revenge afterwards, so you must be careful about it." ”
"Won't the situation and the innate martial artists participate?" Bai Ya only felt that his body was a little hot, and his blood began to boil.
"There will be no potential realm and innate martial artists, at most, they will have learned the peak of the artistic conception of the law heaven and earth, but they may be able to resist the alien protectors of the potential realm!" Liu Yu touched his long hair and smiled meaningfully, "This is also one of the reasons why the sect agreed to let you go!"
"Oh...... So the silver corpse can get out of the customs?" Bai Ya's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood.
"Hmm!" Liu Yu smiled and nodded, "Didn't you sense it yourself?"
"The induction is indeed stronger than at the beginning, it may have always been there, and you can't realize the difference!" Bai Ya was surprised and rubbed his palms.
"Actually, it was promoted to the Silver Corpse Realm half a year ago, but the Drought Protector under the Supreme Elder taught it for a while, so it has been delayed until now. Liu Yu said with a smile, "However, with the teachings of that senior, the silver corpse can also adapt to the body faster and form combat power as soon as possible." ”
"When will so-and-so pick it up?" asked Bai Ya happily.
"Soon, a few more days!" Liu Yu said hesitantly, "You have a few magic weapons by your side, and you have silver corpses and Dao Infant Peach Dolls to help, if you don't die, there shouldn't be much of a problem." ”
"Master rest assured, so-and-so is just to protect himself, and besides, those princes and princesses don't die, so-and-so doesn't care at all, and he can't take risks. Bai Ya replied with a grin.
"That can't be said, in the future, the King of Shu will have a better impression of Qingcheng, and there will be many conveniences in the future. Liu Yu glanced at Bai Ya dissatisfiedly, "Besides, the sixth prince who invited you to assist still has some kindness to you, you don't want to take revenge!"
"How do you say that?" Bai Ya raised his eyebrows, greatly surprised.
"Well, this matter is quite secret, and it just came out of Emei last year, so it shouldn't be true. Liu Yu groaned and said, "Back then, you were able to retreat from Ling Tian Pavilion, and it is rumored that it was this sixth son of the Shu King who told Ling Tian Pavilion about your affairs in Di Dao City, which made the Xuanyuan Dao people of Jingque Peak extinguish their murderous intentions......"
As soon as Liu Yu said this, Bai Ya really remembered a young man wearing a python robe and a golden crown from the depths of his memory, and it seemed that he had indeed met in Jingque Peak that day.
"Master, you just said that the sixth prince knew what he did in Di Dao City back then?" Bai Ya narrowed his eyes slightly.
Over the years, the matter of the Bloody Man in Di Dao City is no longer a secret, everyone knows that he did it. However, this would have been different six or seven years ago.
At that time, except for the Qingdu Guan lineage, even Emei didn't know his details, let alone a prince of Shu...... Unless the sixth prince had already started to pay attention to him and investigated him specifically.
"Don't be too suspicious, I've asked him about it...... He said that during your time in the Zhenwu Dojo, you had met him once in the restaurant, and it seemed that it was to celebrate the promotion of one of your friends. Liu Yu said with a frown.
"At that time, he wanted to recruit potential martial artists to prepare for the future competition, so he specially investigated your details!"
"Oh......" This reason is reasonable, Bai Ya also remembered Lu Yuan's promotion to the Qi Realm at that time, and immediately dispelled some doubts.
However, he soon thought of another thing.
"Since he was also in Ling Tiange back then, then this person should have a better relationship with Emei, why did he invite someone to protect him?"
"This ...... I don't know. Liu Yu touched his long hair and said hesitantly, "It is estimated that he thinks that you have been on the rookie list of swords, so he has more confidence in you!"
"That's ......," Bai Ya touched his chin a little smugly.
Although Emei also has rookies on the list, this kind of person is already talented and the number is small. Since you can promote martial arts by meditating at home, why do you have to participate in the battle for succession?
What's more, the martial artists of the sect in the battle for succession, regardless of life and death during the battle, Emei is probably reluctant to let them participate. Only this guy Bai Ya has too poor understanding to have to participate in this dangerous game.
"Master, who will be So-and-so's opponent?" Bai Ya asked curiously.
"This generation of King Shu has nine children, and it is rumored that there are four or five princes and princesses who are eligible to participate in the competition, and there is also one of the youngest brothers of the King of Shu who also intends to compete for succession. Liu Yu spread his hands and said, "The world is like this, it is obviously more comfortable to be an idle prince, but there are so many people who have to work hard." ”
"The eldest husband is only afraid of having no power, and they are just as willing to work hard!" Bai Ya thought to himself.
Liu Yu has been immersed in martial arts all his life, and this aspect is definitely not as profound as his understanding. Immediately, he thought of a question and immediately asked curiously.
"Master, you just said that there are still princesses participating in the competition, has there ever been a queen in Shu?"
"There have been two in Shu, and other countries have also set precedents. Liu Yu said with a smile, "I know what you want to say, no matter what immortals, the world is always more important to men than women, but many times, there will be special cases." ”
Liu Yu explained, and Bai Ya knew that all countries did have queens.
Some are the first princesses, and some are even the original queens and queen mothers, mainly because these women are particularly good, far beyond the royal blood of the same period, coupled with internal and external troubles, the political situation is in urgent need of stability, so under the compromise of all parties, she became the queen.
However, the queen is the queen, and the concept of the world of God is still very traditional.
When the queen dies, the throne will return to the original royal bloodline, and the bloodline born by the queen and the face head will not be able to ascend to the throne, because they will not get the support of the Xianwu Sect and the Hundred Families of Sons.
But since there is such a precedent, when the throne changes, there will still be some princesses with big hearts participating in the competition.
"Of course, I don't care about these things and can't go into too much detail with you. The specific situation can only be known when you go to meet the sixth prince to know which Immortal Martial Sects have intervened in this battle!"
