Chapter Ninety-Six: Murder with a Knife

"Zhi'er, why did you come here late at night?" Emperor Qin asked quietly. In fact, he had already expected that Qin Zhixuan's request to see him at this time must be related to the message from Qingzhou.

"Erchen begs his father to abolish the position of prince and choose another virtuous!" Qin Zhi kowtowed, but when he raised his head, he was already in tears.

"Nonsense!" Emperor Qin looked angry, slapped his right hand on the case, and said angrily: "Is it child's play that this prince is abolished? You are not lightly ill, why did the good prince ask to abolish it?"

"Back to my father, it's not my son's mess around, but, it's ......!" Qin Zhi's face showed hesitation, and he wanted to speak again, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "There are discussions in the court, and the mountains and rivers choose Qingzhou to fall, because the current prince is immoral, and he must set up another crown prince to inherit the great cause in order to comply with the will of heaven and ensure the prosperity of Great Qin!"

"Which bastard dares to spread this rumor, I will definitely not spare him!" Emperor Qin looked murderous, and said angrily: "I am not dead yet!

"It's just that I heard rumors, and Erchen doesn't know where the rumors came from!" Qin Zhi was extremely aggrieved and replied with tears in his eyes.

"Hmph! I must see which rumor is causing trouble!" Emperor Qin seemed to be trying his best to calm the anger in his heart, but it was difficult to hide the meaning in his tone. After a pause, his face turned a little pale, and he comforted him with kind words: "Don't think nonsense, go back and rest well, as long as you are upright and cautious from the beginning to the end, why are you afraid of gossip?"

"The sons respect the teachings of the father, the sons and daughters retired, and the father should also take care of his body and rest early!" And at the moment of leaving the temple gate, when he wiped away the tears with his sleeve, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smug smile.

"Duzhong, have you seen it?" Prince Chunxiao, came to visit him late at night, just to remind me that now the mountains and rivers have fallen in Qingzhou, and the one who wins the tripod can win the world, if you don't take action, this country will fall into the hands of others!" Emperor Qin looked at the empty place, and sighed for a long time: "Zhi'er feels that his virtue is insufficient, and he asks to abolish the position of the prince, you say, do I follow his wishes?"

Wei Qianzhong was silent for a long time, and Fang said in a low voice: "Holy Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just trying to protect himself!" He watched from the sidelines, Qin Zhi seemed to be here to show off his grievances, and he took retreat as a strategy to protect his position as the crown prince, but in fact, he had deeper thoughts. His words reminded the emperor everywhere that the ministers of the court and the central government had different intentions because of the fall of the mountains and rivers into Qingzhou, and they not only wanted to 'conform to the will of heaven' to support the new prince, but also wanted the new prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible!

There are no two heavens and no two lords in the country, and with the emperor in his prime, how can he easily give up the right to take charge of the country? And under the imperial power, there has always been no father, son and brother! It is also natural for the emperor to have murderous intentions because of this!

What Qin Zhi fought was a plan to kill people with a knife!

"I also know that the mountains and rivers fall in Qingzhou, and the most difficult thing to sleep and eat should be Zhi'er!" Emperor Qin shook his head, with a melancholy look on his face: "I have no intention of abolishing the prince, and after two months, I will arrange the affairs after my death, and I will prepare to pass on the emperor to the crown prince." It's just that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and I can't understand it now, and I can't control it much!"

In an instant, Emperor Qin seemed to be more than ten years old, holding his forehead lightly with one hand, and slowly closing his eyes.

Wei Qianzhong couldn't help but be gloomy when he saw this, the saint has reigned for more than 30 years, and he can be called a generation of Ming Jun, but it is a pity that he is burdened by poison, and now his life is not long, so he has long had the idea of passing on the throne. The prince wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but he really miscalculated!

Just as he was trying to persuade the emperor to rest as soon as possible, his heart couldn't help but move, and his eyes looked at the palace door, with a slight surprise on his face.

After a while, I saw that the young man came in again, and was about to open his mouth to say goodbye, but when he saw that the emperor suddenly couldn't help but be overjoyed, Huo Ran stood up and ordered: "Is the Purple Pole Sect coming?"

Ziji Zhenren and Du Chongxiao were waiting to be summoned in front of the Palace of Heart Cultivation. This was the second time Du Chongxiao had entered the palace, and unlike the last time he arrived, the Purple Pole Sect didn't need anyone to introduce him, and showed a dragon pattern gold medal to the guards of the palace guarding it, and four guards with knives took them directly to the Palace of Heart Cultivation.

The door of the palace was wide open, and Emperor Qin, who was full of joy, personally greeted him and invited Ziji Palm Sect in. As for Du Chongxiao, he could only continue to wait outside the door. Fortunately, he was not alone, and Mr. Wei, who had a one-sided relationship, also stood with him!

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, only Emperor Qin and Ziji were left to teach them.

Emperor Qin suddenly knelt on the ground, bowed deeply to Zijizhang and said, "My nephew is for the common people in the world, thank you for the great kindness of the emperor's uncle!"

Ziji Zhangjiao frowned, his hands were weak, and a true qi came out, helping Emperor Qin up, and said in his mouth: "The Holy Lord is the Son of Heaven, and he is called a saint, how can the poor Dao dare to be such a great gift?"

Emperor Qin stood up and said in a sincere voice: "If it weren't for the emperor's uncle's action, I'm afraid this mountain and river tripod would have already fallen into the hands of the demon clan, this worship is for hundreds of millions of Li people in my eastern land, and the emperor's uncle deserves it!"

The Purple Pole Sect shook his head slowly: "This is not the work of the poor Dao alone, but the result of the concerted efforts of all the sects in the world! Moreover, the Poor Dao has taken refuge in the Three Qings, and the Holy Lord should no longer be called the emperor's uncle!"

Emperor Qin sighed secretly, so he had to change his title and said, "The real person saw me late at night, but for the sake of the mountains and rivers?"

"Exactly!" Ziji Sect Leader nodded: "This time, the mountain and river Baoding was born in Wanjian Mountain, fortunately, the heroes of all parties in the world worked together to finally make Baoding return to the eastern soil. Presumably, the saint has already received the news that now Baoding is located in the Han Wang's Mansion in Qingzhou City, and is temporarily guarded by several senior brothers and disciples of the poor road. It's just that this is not a long-term solution, and I ask the saint to make a decision as soon as possible, how to place the mountains and rivers Baoding!"

"Can you bother the real people to send the mountains and rivers treasure back to martial arts?" Emperor Qin asked tentatively.

"That Baoding seems to have taken root, take it with you, and don't leave!Besides, if you want to take it by force, you are afraid that it will damage the blessings of the Eastern Soil!"

"In the opinion of a real person, what should be done?" Emperor Qin humbly asked.

"This is a holy matter, how dare you say it?" the Purple Pole Sect shook his head again.

"Please also ask a real person for guidance!" Emperor Qin was deeply stunned again, and his words were full of pleading.

A look of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the Purple Pole Sect, he has been cultivating for more than sixty years, and he has cultivated to almost become an immortal, but he still can't avoid this family bond. The Emperor Qin in front of him reminded him of the ignorant child who always pestered him as a child.

sighed lightly and said, "With the wisdom of the saint, you should already understand that if you want to protect the mountains and rivers, there are only two ways. Or send heavy troops to Qingzhou to guard, or welcome the mountains and rivers back to martial arts!"

Emperor Qin was silent for a long time, and Fang asked: "The real person just said that the mountains and rivers have taken root, and if they move, they will hurt the blessings of the eastern soil, how to welcome them back?"

"Others can't move, but that person is a different story!" said Ziji Sect Leader meaningfully. The 'man' in his words means something!

"In this way, lest the disaster cause Xiao Wall!" Emperor Qin was full of worry. If the fourteenth son Qin Zheng really welcomes the mountains and rivers back, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the prince, and the rest of the princes will be jealous. If there are people with ill intentions who add fuel to the trouble, there will be trouble!

"The saint is not a person who looks forward to the future, which is more important, how can he not make up his mind?" Looking at his terminally ill and unbearable nephew, Ziji Zhenren's eyes showed a little unbearable, so he said bluntly.

"It's not that I can't make up my mind, it's just that the prince is not at fault, how can he say anything about it?" Emperor Qin smiled bitterly, of course he understood that the mountains and rivers located in the Han Wangfu in Qingzhou was a sign of the destiny of heaven, if nothing else, the fourteenth son Qin Zheng was the one who responded to the omen!

"In the underworld, there is a fixed number, and everyone's life depends on creation!" Ziji Zhenren's gaze fell on the throne of the Emperor of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and said: "Sometimes there must be in life, and there is no time in life to force it!

Emperor Qin lost his mind for a long time when he heard this, and after a while, he sighed deeply and said, "I understand, thank you for your advice!" In fact, he already had a choice in his heart, and Ziji Zhenren's words made him firm in his decision!

"This bottle of life-saving elixir is a new refining of Senior Brother Danyang of Tianyan Peak, and the saint can take one pill a day, which can temporarily relieve illness and prolong life!" Ziji Zhenren presented a crystal jade bottle.

"Thank you for your concern!" Emperor Qin looked moved, and took the jade bottle with both hands. He knew that his time was short, and even a panacea could not save his life, and the so-called 'prolonging his life' was nothing more than letting him live for a while!

"I want to seal the real person as my Great Qin Protector Zhenren, in order to show the real person's merits in saving the world's luck, I don't know what the real person wants?" Emperor Qin suddenly asked again.

Ziji Zhenren shook his head categorically and said: "Poor Dao Fang just said, this is the work of the world's heroes working together, the reward of the saint, and the poor Dao dare not accept it!"

"I have been summoned by the Flying Eagle, and there is Du Chongxiao, a disciple of the Taixuan Qing Void Palace, who risked his life to find the mountains and rivers and return from Baoding. Even if, as the real person said, Baoding's return to the eastern soil is the merit of the world's heroes, but there is no doubt that Du Chongxiao and all the real people have the greatest credit, how can I not appreciate it?" Emperor Qin smiled and said: "If the real person insists on not accepting, I still have a compromise method, please the real person must agree!"

Outside the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wei Qianzhong, the head of the inner hall, secretly looked at the young man in front of him. It has been half an hour since Ziji Zhenren entered the hall, but this young man has not shown the slightest impatience, just standing quietly in place, occasionally looking around.

I can't help but secretly praise in my heart, I deserve to be the first senior brother in the world, but this kind of qi cultivation kung fu is beyond the reach of ordinary people!

There was a sudden sound of footsteps at the end of the corridor, and Wei Qianzhong's ears moved slightly, and he could already tell who it was.

Surrounded by many palace maids and chamberlains, a beautiful woman wearing a red double phoenix Chaoyang skirt appeared in Du Chongxiao's sight.

"Slave maid, see the queen mother!" said Chief Wei on his knees and bowed to the ground.

"The grass people have seen the queen mother!" Du Chongxiao also bowed slightly.

This time, Empress Lin's female eunuch did not dare to accuse Du Chongxiao of not bowing down, and they all recognized that this young man was the disciple of the Taixuan Qingxu Palace that he saw last time, and he was also the teacher of the fourteen princes who had been named the king of Han!

Queen Lin's phoenix eyes swept past Chief Manager Wei, and finally landed on Du Chongxiao's face. The red lips provoked a gentle smile and said, "What a coincidence, I am here again Mr. Du!"
