Chapter 445: The Truth
Ji Haodian's trap was not only aimed at the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also warned those Jianghu sects, telling them not to stretch their hands too far. [Read the full text..]
The complexions of those Jianghu sects were also dark, and they were also played hard this time.
Some of these princes have been in contact with them a few years ago. Up to now, they have invested a lot of resources, manpower and material resources.
But now everything turned out to be a trap, and Ji Haodian had no intention of handing over the position of crown prince at all, which made their plan come to nothing and lost a lot.
Those people from the martial arts sect looked at each other, turned and left directly in resentment, and there was no need to listen any longer.
It was also fortunate that Shaolin Temple left early, otherwise the monks of Shaolin Temple would have been very angry when they heard all this.
After the people from the martial arts sect left, Ji Haodian looked at the five princes coldly, his expressions were so cold that they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Ji Haodian said in a deep voice: "Declare the decree, call Qi Wang, Shu Wang, Wu Wang and other princes to Beijing to accompany me around."
Everyone present gasped, but Ji Yancheng and the other five princes were blinded and almost fainted to the ground.
Ji Haodian was not going to let them fight for the position of crown prince, but at the same time Ji Haodian was not going to give them the position of crown prince directly.
There were more than ten princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the five of them were the most powerful.
The other princes had already been kicked to their respective fiefs to be idle princes because of their lack of strength, and there were only two or three warriors in the God Transformation Realm under him.
Even for those like Ji Yanxiu who were miserable, before Su Xin didn't help him, the only one of his personal eunuch Wen Yu was the one who had turned into a god.
But now they have been tricked by Ji Haodian, and the people under him are dying and scattered, especially those like Ji Yancheng who have the support of the Duke of Zhou behind him. After this incident, even his grandfather Zheng Guogong dare not Support him, because it is a taboo!
In this way, their strength was almost completely destroyed, and they were even inferior to those princes who were princes in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At the very least, they can recruit some casual warriors locally or get the support of some small sects. It is normal to have one or two warriors who are in the state of transformation around them, at least they are stronger than their current strength.
The dispute between the princes has directly evolved from the five of them to all of them.
Originally, the five people with the greatest chances have become the five with the weakest strength, which has to be said to be a kind of irony.
Regardless of Ji Yancheng and the others who were still kneeling there, Ji Haodian asked Tang Xian to drive back to the palace.
The others also dispersed, but today's incident was too shocking, they all had to digest it, and re-discussed what role they should play in the next crown prince battle, at least as blatantly as they are now, to support those princes. It is not acceptable.
Su Xin's words are right, he is a courtier of Da Zhou, and he is only loyal to His Majesty.
Now you are holding the salary of Da Zhou, but you end up supporting those princes, even if they are my own sons, that is not acceptable.
It is obviously taboo to do so, so even if these princes win over them again in the future, they will not agree.
But in this trap, because the shock was too great, few people noticed Su Xin's role in it.
Why did Su Xin seize the Emperor's Sword in the end? Is it really a coincidence that he handed the Human Emperor Sword directly to Ji Haodian?
At least some people didn't believe it. Those high-level officials in Dazhou could see that something was wrong, but they didn't say anything.
If this matter was arranged by Ji Haodian, then Su Xin would not be able to refuse, and they would not inquire about it, including Tie Zhan, who would not inquire about such matters.
After everyone left, Su Xin waited for a while, and he was about to leave when they were almost gone. At this time, a little eunuch came to Su Xin and said softly: "Master Su, Your Majesty, please go over there .”
Su Xin nodded and said, "Eunuch, please lead the way."
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Su, please come with me."
Saying that, the little eunuch led Su Xin to the depths of the palace.
In a side hall, Su Xin saw Ji Haodian again. Only Tang Xian was by his side, but there must be other masters of the royal family guarding him in the dark.
At this time, Ji Haodian no longer had the decisive and domineering look he had when he scolded those princes in the square, but instead showed a trace of exhaustion.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou seemed to be really unable to hold on.
To be honest, Su Xin admired Ji Haodian, the great Zhou emperor who dominated the Central Plains in just over ten years by himself.
Before Ji Haodian, Da Zhou was just a Nanban sentence that didn't sound good. At that time, the emperor of Da Zhou didn't even dare to call him 'Huang', only dare to call him 'King'.
At that time, southern Shonan and other places were also desolate, let alone cities, with only a few aborigines.
It was at that time that the Great Zhou began to establish a country. After more than two hundred years of development, it was only to make southern Hunan suitable for ordinary people to live in. At that time, all the power of the Great Zhou was even more than one First-class forces are not much stronger.
It can be said that the former emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty basically did not leave any wealth to Ji Haodian, but he was holding a bad hand. In the turbulent era of the last year of the Great Jin Dynasty, he suddenly emerged, destroyed the Great Jin Dynasty, and became the Great King who now dominates the Central Plains. Zhou, it doesn't hurt to say that he is a hero.
But it is a pity that no matter how great the right is, it must be enjoyed with a lifetime.
Although Ji Haodian doesn't know martial arts, but with so many panacea and various exercises in Da Zhou, even if he only spends a little time practicing, it is enough for him to reach the innate realm. By then, it will be too much for him to have a lifespan of nearly two hundred years. enough.
But looking at the appearance of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, the assassination that year had already hurt his fundamental vitality, making it impossible for the Emperor of the Great Zhou to swallow the elixir to continue his life.
These thoughts just flashed through Su Xin's mind, and Su Xin saluted Ji Haodian respectfully: "I see Your Majesty."
Ji Haodian looked at Su Xin, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he said lightly: "Su Xin, you did a good job in this task, the Tie family did not miss the wrong person this time.
Your strength and skills are regarded as the best among the younger generation of the Six Doors, even those carefully cultivated by the Tie Family are still inferior to you. "
Su Xin said quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."
Others may not understand what mission Ji Haodian mentioned, but the three present all know it.
Last time when Ji Haodian announced that he would compete for the position of crown prince in the Kunlun Secret Realm, Su Xin followed Tie Zhan to court, and after they went down, Ji Haodian sent someone to give him a note, on which it was written that let At a critical moment, Su Xin snatched the Human Emperor Sword and finally handed it to him.
Although there was only such an order, Su Xin almost guessed the truth of the matter when he thought of Ji Haodian's character and the cause and effect of the matter.
This Great Zhou Emperor is definitely more decisive and ruthless than many people imagined.
However, these have nothing to do with Su Xin. The task Ji Haodian gave him just gave Su Xin another excuse to snatch the Emperor's Sword.
After all, if the Renhuang Sword had not fallen into the hands of Shaolin Temple at that time, it would have been difficult for Su Xin to find this excuse.
After all, Su Xin expressed his neutrality before and did not participate in the previous battle of the crown prince, but you went to grab the emperor's sword again, which is easy to arouse suspicion.
But now in the eyes of ordinary warriors, Su Xin snatched the Emperor Sword to revenge Shaolin Temple.
In the eyes of Tie Zhan and other high-ranking court officials, Su Xin must have been ordered by Ji Haodian to do so, so there is nothing suspicious about Su Xin's grabbing the sword.
Besides, Su Xin also suspected that among these princes, there must be someone placed by Ji Haodian.
He, Su Xin, was indeed the strongest among the six sects of the God Transformation Realm fighters, but it was impossible for Ji Haodian to place all his confidence on Su Xin.
So beside these princes, there might be Ji Haodian's people, and there might be more than one of them. If Su Xin didn't snatch the Human Emperor Sword, they would go straight to snatch it.
Ji Haodian coughed and said, "I will not treat you badly if you do something for me. Tell me, what do you want?"
Su Xin arched his hands and said respectfully: "Whatever your Majesty gives to the minister, the minister wants."
As soon as these words came out, both Ji Haodian and Tang Xian were taken aback.
A smile appeared in Ji Haodian's eyes, and Tang Xian also admired Su Xin very much.
After serving Ji Haodian all his life, he finally figured out his character, so that he would not make any mistakes in front of Ji Haodian.
And even though this was only the third time Su Xin met Ji Haodian, it was not easy for Su Xin to firmly grasp Ji Haodian's heart and say these words.
Ji Haodian is quite domineering, for this kind of person, he can reward you with anything, but you can't let him take it.
A reward is a reward, and a demand is a demand. Although the results of the two are the same, the nature is completely different.
Just like his throne, although he knew that the throne would definitely be handed over to Ji Yancheng and the others in the near future, and the stronger these princes' strength and superior means, it would prove that they would be able to manage Dazhou better in the future, but Ji Yancheng However, Hao Dian did not tolerate them provoking his majesty.
He would rather let more than a dozen other princes with mediocre qualifications and weaker strengths participate in the battle for the position of crown prince, rather than let Ji Yancheng and others take the position of crown prince from him through scrambling.
Because of this, Su Xin, who had figured out Ji Haodian's character, said these words to Ji Haodian.
As a subject, as long as it is something rewarded by His Majesty, no matter how little it is, the subject should also be grateful to Dade.
Whether Su Xin's words were true or false, at least his attitude was sincere enough to make Ji Haodian happy immediately. (To be continued.)
