When the death knell rises, the king collapses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When today's son, before he is an adult, how can he die?
However, in recent years, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been turbulent, and everyone still knows that the palace is not peaceful.
What is so strange about the death of an emperor? The people of Chang'an have long been surprised by this.
As long as the blood of the martial arts family has not been exhausted, there will be people to fill the position of emperor.
What's more, once the emperor becomes an adult, he will be in power, and power is like honey, once he tastes its good taste, no one is willing to let go.
It seems reasonable for the nobles of the regent to make such a choice, and such deeds have been innumerable since ancient times.
But what the well-informed people of Chang'an didn't expect was that in less than an hour, news came from the palace that soon after the emperor left, the queen mother was so sad that she went back together.
Within one day, the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother died one after another, and there was an uproar in the capital.
This is anything but normal.
The Son of Heaven has no heirs, and the Queen Mother dies, so which clan should succeed him?
According to the story of the previous dynasty, when a young prince was welcomed to succeed to the throne of the Son of Heaven, but today there are no brothers, but there are too many uncles and nephews, who can inherit the great treasure, and it has suddenly become the hottest topic among the Beijing teachers.
But today, the people of Beijing are destined to be unpeaceful and shocked again.
Only a few hours after the death of the Queen Mother, the sky was still bright, and the Tiger Benwei, who was responsible for guarding the Beijing Division, declared martial law in the whole city.
Then, immediately afterwards, a news came that surprised all the people in the capital, the three princes and nine secretaries announced that they would not establish the Son of Heaven and that the ministers would republic!
Many people don't know what a republic means, but if you don't have a son of heaven, it is a word that everyone understands.
This is a rebellion.
There are two armies guarding the north and south outside the Beijing division, and there are the Yulin army guarding the imperial city and the tiger guard guarding the Beijing division inside, these armies have always been controlled by people of different factions, and they have always been loyal to the imperial family.
You know, the weakest of these four armies is the Tiger Benwei.
Of course, now that Hu Benwei is patrolling the streets outside, the people of the Beijing Division will not ask for hardship, but only silently wait in their hearts for the Yulin Army or the Northern and Southern Army to make trouble.
As for the name of the republic, there are still many people who understand, in ancient Qin, there was a riot of the countrymen, the Son of Heaven was young, and the regents were regent by the ministers, known as the republic.
But the so-called ministers at that time, when it came to their ancestors, were also royal relatives, which were very different from today's ministers.
If there is no Son of Heaven, how can there be ministers, and how can there be regents for ministers?
Although there were tiger guards blocking the Beijing Division, the news still spread all over the country like a long leg.
At the moment of receiving the news, the princes from all over the country announced that they would raise troops and enter the king of Jingqin.
In some places, the emperor was even set up, just waiting to be sent to the capital to ascend the treasure.
There are not many royal clansmen living in the capital, especially the princes, all of whom have to go to the fiefdom to settle down.
Xie Xun and the others returned to Jiangling, and naturally heard the news, Xie Xun had long known that the emperor would make a big move, but he didn't expect him to announce that he was dead.
"Is this going to be the driving force behind the scenes? Thinking about it this way, the emperor's choice seems to be normal, he can control the two armies of the north and the south, as long as the new so-called republican court can quell the rebellion, then his goal will naturally be achieved.
"However, the abolition of the emperor is only the first step, if it has been five fortunes, just abolishing the emperor cannot change the world. Xie Xun didn't know what the emperor thought, but at least, he knew a little more news than others, and the Xie family, in this change, had a little more advantage than others.
He had already told his father and brother about the Emperor, and he thought, with their shrewdness, that they should know how to do it.
Early the next morning, Xie Xun practiced in his room, feeling the changes that had taken place in himself after entering the realm of heaven and man.
"No wonder the realm of heaven and man is so rare in the mortal world, this Jiangling City is really too depressing, the realm was not enough before, and I haven't realized it, but now it seems that the aura is too little, and it is not enough to cultivate normally. ”
Xie Xun sighed secretly, he was actually slightly better, at night, with the help of starlight quenching, he could still make some progress, but during the day, he couldn't even maintain internal and external communication, and the sympathy between heaven and man.
When I was in the sandbar of Yunmengze yesterday, I didn't feel this way.
"It seems that I also want to end the mortal world as soon as possible, and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to practice, maybe in the past few hundred years, it is not that there have been no masters of the rivers and lakes who have broken through to the realm of heaven and man, but they have also discovered this predicament, so they are far away from the world, hiding their merits and fame. ”
Xie Xun thought so, and then heard someone knocking on the door.
"What's the matter, tell me. ”
"Twelfth master, someone is visiting outside, he calls himself Liu Yuan, saying that he is your friend, from the capital, that person is in his thirties, he is a master of knowledge, his appearance is very ordinary, and his eyes are a little slender. ”
Xie Xun thought for a while, he didn't have such a friend, but the other party claimed to be from the capital, "That's probably the emperor's person." ”
"Let him in. Xie Xun said lightly.
Not long after, a servant led Liu Yuan to Xie Xun's room.
When the man saw Xie Xun, as if he was really familiar with him, he excitedly greeted Xie Xun.
Xie Xun also did the same, and after the servant left, he said lightly: "Brother Liu, who are you, it's convenient to say it now." ”
Liu Yuan took out a gilded waist card, which depicted a lifelike eagle, and said: "I am indeed Liu Yuan, from the capital, as for my identity, my master said, Xie Gongzi will be clear when he sees this waist card." ”
Xie Xun had never seen this kind of waist card, and the man was indeed right, and when he took out the waist card, Liu Yuan proved his identity.
Without him, there is a faint trace of the dragon aura of the Son of Heaven on the waist card, which is the exclusive breath of the emperor, and others cannot imitate it.
See you today, this is just the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven attached to the waist card, and it is extremely condensed, it seems that everything is still under the control of the "emperor".
"You're right, you'd better keep this waist card close to you all the time, no matter what time it is, in the future, even if you don't take it out, it may be able to help you a lot. ”
Liu Yuan didn't understand what Xie Xun meant, of course he would put away the waist card of Eagle Guard, as for helping, the waist card was a symbol of his status, so he would naturally help him.
Xie Xun didn't break it, the most precious thing on this waist card was the trace of the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven, which was attached to the waist card, and it was estimated that the emperor had wasted a lot of effort, which should be specially made to prove the identity of the person who came in front of Xie Xun.
This Tianzi dragon qi is yang to strong, and he can break all evils, but this Liu Yuan is a mortal, I'm afraid it is difficult to see this, if he listens to Xie Xun, he may be able to turn evil into good fortune in the future.
It's just that cultivators pay attention to chance, but Xie Xun won't make it clear to him.
