Chapter 245: Political Turmoil
You should know that taking the initiative to attack Li Zong is to go against the Tianlong Dynasty.
Even if the Tianlong Dynasty is not one of the seven major forces in the fairyland, it is also a well-known major force, and its strength is only below the seven major forces.
Generally, no one is willing to take the initiative to provoke the Tianlong Dynasty, otherwise it will create a great enemy for themselves.
No one can think of who would do such a thing, mainly because it is too incredible.
Li Zong was assassinated and poisoned and unconscious. Because of this, all the people who executed the imperial guards on that day were thoroughly investigated.
But when the investigation found a guard leader, the other party committed suicide out of fear of crime.
Originally, the clues were about to be found, but now they were suddenly interrupted, and it became confusing again for a while.
This incident made many people in the palace panic.
After all, even the emperor could be assassinated, so if it was someone else, wouldn’t he die faster?
There are indeed many masters in the palace, and even around the emperor, there are very powerful masters guarding.
But on the night when Li Zong was assassinated, someone deliberately led away the masters around him, which gave the assassin a chance.
It was obvious that the other party had made all the preparations in order to kill Li Zong or make him fall into a deep sleep.
After Li Zong was poisoned and unconscious, all the ministers gathered in the court, hoping to discuss a result.
But now that Li Zong was suddenly gone, everyone was like a group of dragons without a leader, each holding their own opinions.
For a while, they couldn't even discuss a good method.
The court was also in chaos.
The ministers were also very frightened. Suicide was not uncommon, but it had never succeeded. However, this time, the person behind the scenes succeeded.
If there was no problem here, everyone's first feeling was impossible.
The previous stabbings would fail, but this time it succeeded. Many people had guesses in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it out.
Ye Yun nodded slightly after listening to what Yun Lan said.
He also roughly understood what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Li Zong was assassinated successfully. Although he has not died completely yet, he is probably not far from death.
Who is so bold?
The previous assassinations have not been successful, but now it is successful. I am afraid that there is a ghost in the palace, or he has already turned to the side of the person behind the scenes.
Otherwise... it is absolutely impossible to succeed.
But who is the person behind the scenes?
Li Xun? Li Luo? Li Fei?
These three people are unlikely.
The reason why Ye Yun thinks they are impossible is that the three of them are still fighting for the throne.
In the process of fighting for the throne, Li Zong must be a witness.
When the real fight for the throne is successful, Li Zong will make them the prince.
But if Li Zong is gone, the fight for the throne will also have problems.
This is why Ye Yun thinks it is not these three people.
What's more, although these three people have a good foundation now, they don't have powerful subordinates. If they want to lure away the masters around the emperor, the opponent must be strong. Obviously, the three people do not meet this condition now.
Excluding these three people, the only person Ye Yun could think of was... the King of Wei.
The King of Wei lived in the capital all year round. He looked harmless, but he had been forbearing.
When he failed to win the throne, the King of Wei chose to give up his power and protect himself.
In order to keep an eye on the King of Wei, Li Zong deliberately kept him in the capital and did not let him go to his fiefdom.
And over the years, the King of Wei has been hiding very well.
He looks like a free and easy prince, but there are probably some shameful forces behind him.
Ye Yun had met Li Fengling before, and at that time he knew that the King of Wei would definitely rebel in the future.
Obviously, the King of Wei is definitely not the idle prince that everyone sees, but a very scheming person.
He has his own forces hidden behind the scenes, so that he can launch a fatal blow at a critical moment and regain the throne.
But I didn't expect that the time predicted by Ye Yun before was slightly different, and I didn't expect that this guy has already taken action now.
It's not that no one in the court had this speculation, thinking that it was done by the King of Wei in order to regain the throne.
But in everyone's eyes, the King of Wei has always been an idle prince with no power, how could he have the opportunity to do such a thing.
Some people put forward such a conjecture, but no one is willing to believe it.
To Ye Yun, the King of Wei is indeed very well hidden, almost hiding it from everyone.
I'm afraid that some people in the court are already the King of Wei's people.
"Haha! It's getting more and more interesting. Li Zong was assassinated. What will happen next?"
Ye Yun is also quite interested in the development of the next thing.
As for Li Zong, whether this guy lives or dies has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to worry.
Moreover, if Li Zong dies, Ye Yun may be more convenient with Liu Feiyan.
If Li Zong knew that Ye Yun had such an idea, he would probably be angry to death.
He was already half dead and unconscious, and he was still being remembered by people in the harem. It would be strange if he didn't get angry to death.
...
In the imperial palace at the center of the capital.
In the Dragon Head Palace.
On the spacious dragon couch, Li Zong was lying on it wearing a dark yellow inner garment.
His face was pale, and there seemed to be dark circles around his eyes. He was in a very bad mood.
His breathing was extremely weak, and it seemed that he might die at any time.
There were imperial doctors here at any time and anywhere, just to let them keep Li Zong alive, and he must not die.
Queen Yan Zhiyue sat by the bed, looking at the unconscious Li Zong, with a very complicated mood.
After all, he was her husband, and even if the two sides did not have much affection, they could not ignore him.
Li Xun stood aside, looking at Li Zong's pale face, with a flash of anger in his eyes.
He was not angry that Li Zong was assassinated and unconscious, but he was angry that someone assassinated him at this time.
Now is the time to fight for the throne, and his chances of winning are also the greatest.
Once he stands out in the fight for the throne, the position of the prince will definitely be his.
His position as the prince is almost a foregone conclusion, but now because of this incident, all the struggles have stopped.
If the fight continues at this time, even the ministers in the court will not be able to bear it.
He was obviously very close to the position of the crown prince, but he didn't expect that this kind of thing would make it seem like he has become a distant dream again.
It is normal for Li Xun to feel unwilling. If it were anyone else, they would also feel unwilling.
