Chapter 281 The Capital's Situation Has Changed Dramatically
The twelfth year of Bai Ze.
This year was the most turbulent year in Qi.
The entire court was shaken.
The Yang family, one of the five major military families, was the first to hand over the military power, which also set off a great uproar.
After that, the Yang family took the initiative to withdraw from the capital and stayed away from the center of the court.
I thought it was over, but when more and more articles about this matter were speculating, it was overshadowed by another major event.
The current emperor knew that his dragon body was not as good as before. In order to protect the peace of the country, he overcame all objections and established Bai Ziheng as the prince.
When this news came out, the court and the public were shocked.
Over the years, the third prince Bai Xuan has been on the stage. This prince's ability is obvious to all. Although he is not the eldest, most of the important officials are very optimistic about him.
Even the old stubborn people in the Ministry of Rites did not talk about any etiquette rules, and called for the establishment of the prince based on ability for the first time.
But Bai Jian's decision was undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations.
Even at a court meeting one day, several elderly people who had resigned from their official positions came and threatened that if His Majesty did not withdraw his order, they would hit their heads against the pillar and die.
Of course, there were still some people who acquiesced to this.
It was legitimate for the eldest son to inherit the throne. No matter how capable the next princes were, it would not be their turn to succeed the throne.
This time, Bai Jian, who was the most obedient to advice, showed astonishing persistence. He ignored several old ministers, waved his hand, and decided on his own.
There was really an old man who hit his head and didn't know whether he lived or died.
When the prince appeared, there would be a chain reaction.
The third prince Bai Xuan rebelled, but was suppressed before it could form a scale. His Majesty deprived him of his royal status, demoted him to a commoner, and exiled him to another state.
Countless people were implicated. Bai Jian took this opportunity to directly purge a group of people in the court and replaced them with a group of new people.
As one grew stronger, the other weakened. In the end, the supporters of the third prince just died.
According to the people of Ding'an City, the palace was filled with the smell of blood that day.
This was the emperor they had never seen before. In the past, the emperor was kind and magnanimous, but now he was like a dragon that knew he had little time left, so he became irritable. Anyone who stood in his way would be swallowed up!
After that, the three families of Wu, Yuan, and Xu also handed over their military power one after another, just like the Yang family, and prepared to withdraw from the capital and go to other states to develop and take root.
Then, after holding on for a long time, the Tang family also couldn't stand the pressure and handed over the military power.
At this point, there were only four martial arts families left among the five major military families and the four martial arts families.
At this moment, the imperial power finally reached its peak.
The palace of Ding'an City.
Bai Jian and Qi Zhou sat opposite each other.
"You've been moving around a bit frequently recently." Qi Zhou said calmly.
Bai Jian disagreed: "As a father, I always have to think about what I can do for my son, isn't that right?"
Qi Zhou answered irrelevantly: "How far are you going to go?"
"I want Ziheng to have a smooth sailing ahead without any obstacles." Bai Jian said in a deep voice.
At this point, Bai Jian suddenly changed the subject: "But I have changed my mind now. People have to go through some hardships. I plan to keep two or three families to restrain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Who to keep?" Qi Zhou put down the teacup.
"I haven't decided yet." Bai Jian scratched his head and replied.
There are four martial arts families: Li, Chen, Song and Sui.
Without exception, they are all founding heroes.
At least one more family should be moved.
It depends on which one is easier to control.
"You already have the answer in your mind, right?" Qi Zhou asked meaningfully, "Are you afraid too?"
"Of course I am afraid. The more I have, the more I am afraid of losing." Bai Jian's face was a little gloomy: "So next, I can't do it anymore."
Qi Zhou stood up and smoothed his clothes, nodded gently: "I know, I will finish this dirty work."
"Wait a little longer, I haven't decided yet." Bai Jian waved his hand and didn't let Qi Zhou start: "After all, I can still live for a while. It's too chaotic recently, I should take a break."
Qi Zhou hesitated for a moment and just hummed.
After Qi Zhou left, Bai Jian sighed softly, watching the old friend's gradually leaving back, it was a little unclear.
Where did this injury come from?
He has always known, and Qi Zhou has always known that he knows.
"Father, you are looking for me?" Bai Ziheng pushed the door in.
"Remember to beware of Qi Zhou." Bai Jian looked at his son and said softly.
"Why?"
"Because he is a madman. In his eyes, all emotions are just dispensable things. Anyone who stands in his way will either die or be injured."
Bai Jian touched his chest. Aren't all his injuries caused by him?
Colluding with the Living Spirit Sect? It's a pity that he can come up with such a lame excuse.
...
[Twenty years later, the end of the perception]
[Return to the True Self-freedom Method Experience +62455]
[Return to the True Self-freedom Method: Fifth Heaven (35977/50000)]
Twenty days have passed since Chen Wang realized the Return to the True Self-freedom Method.
Everything went on as Chen Wang had imagined.
On this day, a building was filled with lightning, and large pieces of thunder shot up into the sky.
A loud laugh spread throughout the Tianshi Mansion.
It was the first time that Chen Wang heard all kinds of complex emotions in the laugh.
It was a laugh that could not be described in words.
Soon, Master Tongxuan found Chen Wang with tears in his eyes and bowed to him solemnly.
Chen Wang hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it.
The Five Thunders Law is back.
However, no matter how touching the words of Taoist Tongxuan were, Chen Wang only listened to two sentences and drove him out.
He was not interested in these.
If you really want to share joy, you should share it with your fellow disciples.
Taoist Tongxuan smiled from ear to ear, and walking on the mountain road of Tianshi Mansion, there was wind under his feet, which was very comfortable.
…
At the same time, three uninvited guests came to the foot of Longhu Mountain, which had been closed.
The three men were wearing half-body armor. Looking up from below, Longhu Mountain, which was covered with clouds and mist, was even more ethereal.
But the expressions of the three were full of disdain.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the black and gold bells on their waists rang, which was very pleasant.
These bells were the style of the Demon Suppression Division.
In the Wei Kingdom, black and gold bells represent an identity: general.
In other words, these three people are all the generals of the Wei Kingdom's Demon Suppression Division, and they are truly powerful people in the Heavenly Realm!
"This is the last grace period, so if the truth doesn't make sense, we can only talk about the boxing theory." One of them smiled calmly and said.
The other two did not express anything.
The three climbed the mountain together.
This Longhu Mountain, which is extremely tall in the eyes of outsiders, is extremely small in their eyes.
...
Tianshi Mansion.
Xuwang trotted all the way to find Taoist Tongxuan: "Uncle Master, something bad has happened, someone from the Demon Suppression Division has come!"
Taoist Tongxuan was shocked and his face looked ugly.
This is too much!
