Chapter 742
The emperor was hard-hearted and didn't care about the death in the "big exam". But there are also prerequisites and bottom lines.
The bottom line is not to allow Xuanhai Realm cultivators to directly intervene in the "big test".
All killings are not allowed to involve the common people, this is the premise.
In the past, King Jing and King Qian were thrown into prison by the furious emperor because the fight affected innocent people, but he did not expect King Qian to die in prison.
Then King Jin, who had been lurking for many years, appeared and was found out by Xuan Qingwei to be directly related to the death of King Qian. It is even possible that King Qian was the tempting hand of King Jin Yang Wenguang. At that time, Yang Xiusheng had said that he would take action to clean up King Jin, but the emperor stopped him, and even regarded it as a temporary increase in the difficulty of the "big exam".
Although the emperor was heartbroken at the dead king Qian, subconsciously, the trash who could not even save his life was not qualified to inherit the throne.
This kind of attempt is dangerous, but the emperor has confidence in his sons. He believes that among his sons there are people who can spot danger in a crisis-ridden environment and deal with it properly.
Coupled with the fact that the Black Water under Xuanqingwei has made many achievements, the emperor has almost put Jin Wang Yang Wenguang under his nose, so is he afraid of any accidents?
Yang Xiusheng thought for a while, and didn't answer the emperor's remarks about whether the Ministry of Punishment was a waste, but started another topic: "Although it wasn't done by Prince Jin himself this time, it must be his order. Is that how you really look at it? Two have died, and you have only seven sons."
Although the "big test" of the royal family was bloody, there was always at least one left in the end. King Jin's purpose is hard to say, what if the idea is to kill them all?
"No. Yang Wenguang's appearance is not just for simple revenge, he must have other plans."
"What plan?"
The emperor shook his head, was silent for a while and suddenly said: "You said that Yang Wenguang has been in the city for so many years, will he have a son?"
Will Yang Wenguang have a son? !
Hearing this, Yang Xiusheng's whole body trembled. He suddenly turned his head to look at the emperor soaking in the pool water with complicated eyes. After a while, he said: "You have thought of it a long time ago? Is this the reason why you have been unwilling to let me touch King Jin?"
Yang Jian leaned his head back, leaned on the soft pillow, nodded slightly and looked at Yang Xiusheng who was on the side, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said: "This is only one of the reasons. It is only for this reason that Yang Wenguang dared to get involved in the "big test". Otherwise, even if he has hatred for me in his heart, he will never dare to make trouble in the "big test."
Yang Xiusheng took a deep breath and said, "Do you think King Jin wants to kill all your sons, and then expose his own son, forcing you to help his son ascend the throne? Isn't he afraid of death?"
"Death? Hehe, uncle, who in the direct line of the royal family is afraid of death? Yang Wenguang escaped from death back then, and he has already earned enough money after living for so many decades, so he is not afraid of death. He just wants to win once." .
Pity. I knew from the very beginning what he thought was a safe and comprehensive arrangement. Now that there is this "black water" added, and his analysis is clear and logical, I will see how he can continue to play the tricks behind him. "
The emperor was not in a hurry, but Yang Xiusheng frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You want to find out the possible heirs of King Jin?"
"Of course. It's my royal blood anyway. How can I hide it? Besides, Yang Wenguang didn't die that year. It was my oversight. Not only will he die this time, but all the descendants of his line will die with him no matter how many It’s better to be clean, so that I can have many companions along the way.”
Find it out and kill it. The things of this life are settled in this life, and do not leave a burden for future generations. This may be Yang Jian's true thoughts.
"Is there a clue?"
"Not yet, but we should be able to see some clues soon." After a pause, he raised his hand and asked the eunuch who was serving him to add a cup of herbal tea, took a sip and then said: "Once King Lu dies, what will happen?" Deliberately not leaving traces on the scene, so that the Ministry of Criminal Investigation can find nothing, this is starting a fire, as long as the fire burns and burns all the weeds, the things hidden in the weeds will come out."
Yang Xiusheng didn't understand, and asked, "Fire?"
"Yes, start a fire."
"This time I deliberately didn't leave any clues, so how can I get angry?" Yang Xiusheng is really not good at this kind of twists and turns, his thinking is not the same as that of the emperor. According to his thinking, if Jin Wang Yang Wenguang wants to set people on fire, he should deliberately hide two clues for people to find with great effort, and then use them as guiding targets.
How can deliberately leaving a case without a case like this now to catch fire?
Yang Jian said with a smile: "Uncle, I understand why my father pushed you to be in charge of Fenghong Villa back then. You are really not good at maneuvering."
"Scheming is indeed not my forte. Just tell me, and I will listen to the calculations." Yang Xiusheng didn't mind either. For his cultivation, xinxing is a compulsory course, and it doesn't count for him to look directly at his own shortcomings. What, besides, the emperor didn't have any malicious intentions, it was all a joke, and at the same time, he wanted to hear what was wrong with it.
"I killed King Qian before, and then blamed King Lu, and King Lu deserved to be plotted by others for his lack of defense. I made him think about it behind closed doors, just to see if he can save his own life. You must know the current situation Only by living can he see more opportunities. He also understands a little bit that it is honest to not step out of the gate. But he lost his life because of one action of King Ling."
"Spirit King? Is it really related to the Spirit King?"
"That's right. King Ling must have found out that the identities of the Yang Wenguang disciples under his command were wrong, so he beat them while alienating them. Speaking of which, I didn't expect King Ling to be the gold master behind the Moon Shadow Tower. What a good way!
Cough cough cough. King Ling didn't know that when he hit Yueyinglou, he actually hit Yang Wenguang's body, and made Yang Wenguang feel a threat. That's why he killed King Lu who had "lost power" and lit a fire.
To say that this pile of fire is well lit! King Lu is currently the weakest and most harmless. Even if he died, it would not have much impact on the other people in the "big test". But the problem is that King Lu's death has no direction.
No directivity means that it may be you or it may be me, and you can put it on whoever you want. As long as there is a tacit understanding, you can push the burning fire to the person you want.
Who is the most unpopular and most threatening person in the imperial city? "
"Spirit King Beam!"
Yang Xiusheng suddenly felt that he understood.
And Yang Jian continued: "That's right. So if the Ministry of Punishment fails to come up with a result, in order to keep up with the pace of the military affairs in the south, my sons will definitely use the death of King Lu as a fuss to attack King Ling.
Once the fight started, if something happened to King Ling, wouldn't Yang Wenguang's tail be "hidden" by him again? "
