Chapter 259: Sikong Returns

Yu Qingwu looked at the so-called Cheng Tang with a faint smile, the actual Zi Shoes, and his eyes were full of ridicule. The reason why Zilu became the current 'Cheng Tang' is nothing more than that he is worried that one day he will avenge the few people who died in the Demon Star Tomb, he is now Cheng Tang, and he has no grudge against himself, so he naturally has no reason to kill him again.

It's just that Zixu or Cheng Tang's plan that has been made a year ago is about to fail, when he was in the South China Sea that day, he Yu Qingwu really wanted to kill Zixu as soon as possible, but as time passed, he no longer had the heart to kill Zixu. If you want to take revenge, you don't have to kill the enemy, isn't it better to torture him slowly?

At this time, Yu Qingwu in front of the king of Shang and many ministers of the Shang state, said that he wanted to let 'Cheng Tang' go to the imperial capital instead of his father to pour the soup, Cheng Tang agreed, then after the pouring, whether it is dead or alive depends on his own mood;

So whether Cheng Tang agrees or not, there is no difference to Yu Qingwu at all.

Everyone present was silent, and Zixu, who had changed his name to Cheng Tang, clenched his fists and his eyes tightened. If you say that the most nervous, I'm afraid it's the king of Shang, and it's even better than Chengtang.

As the king of a country and the head of a family, he is quite fond of his son, so after Zilu returned from Kunlun a few years ago, he has handed over all the big and small matters of Yanzhou to Zilu to take care of, and Zixu did not disappoint him, in just three years, Yanzhou has grown by leaps and bounds in terms of economic and military strength under the governance of Zixu, and he even decided to officially pass the throne of the king of Shang to his eloquent son after some time.

As a monarch, he recognized the ability of the prince, but as a father, he was not very satisfied with his son. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, Zilu is a dutiful son who helps him in everything in order to reduce his burden, but he knows that it is not that Zizu is afraid that his father is tired, but that Zixu himself has a desire for power that is difficult for ordinary people to reach!

Today, Yu Qingwu proposed to let Zi Xuan go to the summer capital on his behalf, and he was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, I hope that Zilu will really make filial piety, and on the other hand, I am worried that if Zizu encounters any accidents in the summer capital, the Shang Kingdom will definitely lose a majestic monarch!

Under such an ambivalence of psychology, he wanted to get up and say something several times, but he swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth, and finally he had to sigh lightly, secretly saying that this matter should be decided by his son, no matter what, he was resigned to fate.

All the ministers of the Shang State, including the high-ranking Prime Minister Zhong Yu, have already decided in their hearts that 'Cheng Tang' is the real lord of the Shang State, so when they heard that Yu Qingwu was going to Cheng Tang to go to the summer capital, they all sighed in their hearts, and wanted to persuade Cheng Tang not to agree, but in this way, it will inevitably hurt the heart of the Zi Zhu Gui, after all, now the Zi Zhu Gui is the nominal Shang King, and Cheng Tang is just a son of the world. Tangled with all kinds of things, they had to be silent and smile bitterly, hoping that the quick-witted Cheng Tang could think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"What's the matter, Gongzi Tang doesn't want to be invited on behalf of his father?" Yu Qingwu continued to play with the crystal clear jade cup in his hand, and didn't even look at Cheng Tang, who was looking down and thinking about things in front of him.

Cheng Tang raised his head and looked at Yu Qingwu, who didn't seem to have put himself in his eyes, and there was anger in his eyes. Yu Qingwu hated him, and he hated Yu Qingwu as well! If it weren't for him, he would have won over Kunlun a long time ago; if it weren't for him, he would have obtained the Holy Beast Water Qilin, so that everyone in the world would know that he was the Emperor of Heaven!

Yu Qingwu is like his nemesis, making his road to the human emperor so anxious and careful, he believes, and even firmly believes that if there is no such person as Yu Qingwu in the world, he will definitely overthrow Great Xia and establish a new dynasty within three years, and he will be the supreme emperor of the people!

However there is no such if......

"Your Highness, don't you want to ask, why did Your Majesty suddenly invite the princes of the world to the summer capital?" Cheng Tang Noodle said puzzled.

Syllable!

The jade cup fell on the table, Yu Qingwu finally raised his eyes to look at Zicheng Tang, who had been standing in front of him since he came in, the corners of his lips tilted slightly, and said: "The completion of the Yaotai of the Tilting Palace is imminent, once it is completed, it will not only become an epoch-making building, but also symbolize the majesty of the heavens, so Your Majesty will invite all the princes of the world to enter the summer capital to see the magic of the Yaotai of the Tilting Palace." ”

More than a year ago, Yu Xi designed the shape of the Yaotai of the Tilting Palace, and then Xia Lugui ordered him and Tianwei Jun to build it. That is, as a supervisor, he naturally understands the progress of the project of the Yaotai of the Tilting Palace, and at the beginning Xia Lugui also said that when the Yaotai of the Tilting Palace is completed, the princes from all walks of life must be invited to watch.

Of course, the Tilting Palace Yaotai is magical, the project is huge, if it is calculated at the normal construction speed, it will take three or five years to complete, even if Xia Lugui grabs the construction day and night in order to complete it as soon as possible, it is not a short year to complete, and now the project is not completed seventy percent, and it will take more than half a year to complete it completely.

But if he doesn't say it, who knows?

Cheng Tang nodded and said, "I also heard that the Yaotai of the Tilting Palace is a magical building, and once it is completed, it will surpass all the palace buildings in the world! It's just that it has only been more than a year since the construction began, and such a huge project is about to be completed?"

"Does Gongzi Tang believe in this king's words, or does he not believe in this king's ability to do things, or does he not believe in His Majesty's appeal?" Yu Qingwu said with a sneer.

"Don't dare!" Cheng Tang said that he didn't dare, seeing that Yu Qingwu had already shown displeasure, he turned his head to look at his father with a complicated color on the throne, and then said to Yu Qingwu: "Since His Royal Highness has already said so, I should believe it." The completion of the Yaotai of the Tilting Palace is a great joy in the world, and the father should also go to the appointment in person, but his old man is very old, and he really can't stand the long journey.

Hearing Cheng Tang say that he wanted to go to the appointment on his behalf, the prince on the throne wanted to laugh but couldn't, except for a little regret, he was full of relief. The rest of the ministers smiled wryly, but they didn't say anything.

"Since Gongzi Tang agreed, then let's go now, this king has to invite other princes, and there is not much time. Yu Qingwu got up and left his seat after saying this, and did not say goodbye to the king of Shang, but went out of the hall.

Regarding Yu Qingwu's rude behavior, the Shang Kingdom was naturally resentful, but he didn't say anything. The prince instructed a palace maid to clean up Cheng Tang, and then walked up to Cheng Tang and said, "Wang'er, this trip has been thousands of miles, and it is difficult to determine the good and the bad, I just hope that you can return safely!"

Seeing that Yu Qingwu had already left the hall, Cheng Tang lowered his voice and whispered in his father's ear: "Look at Yu Qingwu's meaning, he shouldn't kill me but put me under house arrest." After the child leaves, father, you will go to the right minister Yi Yin to discuss countermeasures, paralyze Daxia and wait for the opportunity to rescue me!"

The sub-master nodded heavily, and after a few more words, Cheng Tang hugged his fists at the many ministers, and said: "During the time that Cheng Tang is away, everything depends on your lords, farewell!" After speaking, he grabbed the burden sent by the palace maid and strode out of the hall.

......

After marching thousands of miles to the imperial capital with Chengtang, Yu Qingwu asked Jiuyi's 100,000 troops to return to Jiuyi on their own, with only himself, Ji Chenggang, and Zichengtang riding three people. Although there was no 100,000 troops to escort him, he was not worried that Zi Chengtang would be able to escape, and after the army withdrew, Zi Chengtang did not say useless words such as not leading the army to pick up other princes.

The group of three people and three horsemen were not in a hurry to rush back to the village, in fact, they couldn't hurry up if they wanted to, after all, Zichengtang rode just an ordinary horse, and Yu Qingwu and Ji Chenggang were also happy to enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers of Daxia along the way.

After more than half a month, the three of them finally rushed back to the imperial capital, and heard a news along the way: Sikong Jia, one of the former exorcist heroes, has returned, although Sikong Feixian, the current head of Sikong's family, has not yet reached the age of establishment, but in the case of the Yu family's retirement and the Qi family's birth, he alone supported the task of exorcism, and in just one month, he stabbed twelve demons and demons, one of which is almost a big demon! Some good deeds claim that Sikong Feixian returned to the earth at this time, and I am afraid that he will also challenge the Yu family like the Qi family did four years ago and regain the plaque of the authentic exorcism.

As soon as he heard this remark, many people who supported the Yu family began to speculate about where Yu Shixiong, who had suddenly returned and disappeared four years ago, was now! Four years ago, he clearly said that the Yu family had made a comeback, but why had he disappeared for four years, but instead his son had become an official in the court.

Sikong Feixian was born and the world's remarks, these are by no means good news for Yu Qingwu, according to this momentum, his father Yu Shixiong should not be able to hide it for long after he died. Although he has the ability to support the Yu family now, if his father's prestige is still there, it can somewhat deter some young people and give him more time to lay out the world for the Yu family. And once the news of his father's death is exposed, then he will definitely not be able to only worry about Great Xia like now, and he must be distracted by the Yu family.

Of course, in addition to worrying about the future of the Yu family, his heart was also full of anger. Sikong Feixian has been nesting in the Penglai Immortal Pavilion in the East China Sea, and now he actually dares to set foot in the Central Plains! If it weren't for Ji Yue's lips, he would have already killed the Penglai Immortal Pavilion in the East China Sea, and now Sikong Feixian has come to the Central Plains to be powerful, whether it is out of the identity of the Yu family, or out of the hatred of taking his wife, he has to meet this so-called Fengshen Ruyu second son!

When Zichengtang was brought into the palace to meet Xia Lugui, Xia Lugui obviously didn't expect Yu Qingwu to bring back the prince of Shang, but since he brought it back, he immediately asked the ministers for advice on how to deal with Zichengtang, and most of the ministers thought that they could neither kill Chengtang nor put him back in Yanzhou, and the best way to deal with it was to put him under house arrest.

For this, Yu Qingwu did not object, Xia Luqi immediately ordered Zichengtang to be sent to Juntai, which was said to let him experience different customs in Daxia for a few years, but in fact, he was placed under house arrest!
