Chapter 1139: Clouds Rise from All Directions and Strong Winds Fly
The prince slowly stood up and took slow steps, then suddenly stopped: "If you dare to do such a shameless thing, even if you are a first-rank prince, you should be killed without mercy! I want to enter the palace, now!"
"Your Highness, please be at ease!" Chief Dongfang knelt down and said, "Your Highness, you cannot enter the palace at this time!"
"Why?" There was a mad light in the prince's eyes.
Chief Dongfang said, "His Majesty's anger is definitely not less than your Highness's. If your Highness can guess who it is, how can your Majesty not guess it? Why does your Highness need to get into trouble when His Majesty is furious?"
He was right.
On top of the nine golden bridges, the wrath of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor could not be described in words.
A big-character poster was posted all over the city overnight. The top officials, the peddlers, and everyone in the city knew about it.
This big-character poster, in the name of exposing secrets, positioned the prince as the flesh and blood of the Hao Yuan Sect, humiliating him, the Immortal Emperor! This humiliation is something that no man can bear, let alone the emperor?
But the Immortal Emperor was also a super monarch who emerged from the cracks of power and intrigue. How could his cultivation be comparable to that of the Crown Prince?
He sat in the Xiande Hall with a gloomy face, waiting for report.
Soon, the feedback came...
First, all the big-character posters in the city were collected, without missing a single one.
Secondly, the person who posted the big-character poster has been identified. It is Zheng Su, a traitor of the Hao Yuan Sect. This person has the cultivation level of a saint and is proficient in the art of phantom clones. He can transform into thousands of shadows and post the posters all over the city.
"Where is Zheng Su?" The Immortal Emperor's voice came slowly, filling the whole hall with awe.
"Your Majesty!" The commander-in-chief said, "Before Zheng Su posted this rebellious message, he had already been poisoned by the 'Soul-Breaking Feather'. After the incident, the poison took effect and he turned into ashes."
"The poison takes effect and everything turns to ashes?" His Majesty stood up suddenly.
"Yes!" The commander-in-chief trembled with fear.
Outside the hall, a group of ministers looked at each other, and saw nervousness in each other's eyes.
For someone who planned such a big thing, it was imperative to kill all nine generations of his clan. However, the other party had been poisoned by the Soul-Breaking Feather before he could do anything. Once the plan was completed, the poison took effect, and he died in the blink of an eye, reduced to ashes.
This poison is so overbearing.
With this one move, no matter how big the problem is, it will be broken when it reaches him.
"Prime Minister!" A voice quietly entered the ears of Guo Hong, the Prime Minister of the Immortal Dynasty: "Soul-breaking Feather is the unique poison of Phoenix Mountain in the Western Region Spirit Dynasty. Is this a clue?"
"The Western Region Ling Dynasty has always been on good terms with our dynasty, and the martial arts world has long been intertwined with each other. What kind of poison cannot appear in our dynasty? Lord Li, you have targeted Phoenix Mountain with only this poison, which will only lead us astray." The prime minister replied.
Lord Li said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, what you said is very true, but you must not overlook one point. The Soul-Breaking Feather can break the soul of a saint. It is not an ordinary poison. In terms of the degree of familiarity with the various tribes in the Western Regions, there is a sect that is above all others. That sect happens to be deeply involved in the court."
The prime minister's heart was in turmoil...
He knows what kind of sect this is!
Luotian Sect!
This big-character poster directly points to the crown prince. If the accusation is true, the crown prince will be completely deposed. Who will benefit from this dethronement?
The second prince Ji Yue!
And Luotian Sect happens to be the sect behind the Second Prince Ji Yue. This is the "just happens" that the Minister of Justice Li mentioned!
However, this matter is so taboo that as a subject, one must never mention it.
"King Xuan Zhou enters the palace!" His Majesty ordered in a deep voice.
The group of ministers outside the palace gate all had their hearts beating wildly.
How could Your Majesty not think of what they can think of?
You need to know that in terms of political schemes, Your Majesty is the real master of political schemes. He relied on political schemes to rise to power.
In the innermost room of Prince Zhou's Palace, the Second Prince Ji Yue slowly opened his eyes and looked around in surprise, seeming a little confused.
Suddenly, a message came from outside: "His Majesty has ordered, Your Highness Prince Zhou, enter the palace immediately!"
"Father has summoned you. What happened?" The second prince was very surprised.
"You will know when you get there!" The commander-in-chief bowed and said, "Let's go!"
Together with Jinqiao, he took Ji Yue straight into the Immortal Emperor Palace.
In another room in Prince Zhou's Palace, an old man had a smile on his face, and the person next to him also had a smile on his face. This person was Ji Qianling.
"Dad, this should be foolproof, right?"
The old man smiled and said, "Heaven calculates. It calculates the heavens, the earth, people, and oneself. Your father has already taken away all of his memories of that night. He himself doesn't even know what happened. What could be the problem?"
Extract all of the Second Prince’s memories of last night and implant a false memory. The Second Prince himself doesn’t know what happened last night, so what could go wrong?
This is the most mysterious inheritance of Luotian Sect: the art of celestial calculation.
When the Second Prince entered the Immortal Emperor Palace, he felt an unusual atmosphere. Why were there so many ministers waiting outside the palace? Why could he feel a chill wind in the palace?
"Look up!" came the father's voice from above.
The second prince looked up blankly and saw a pair of eyes.
When the pair of eyes appeared, the Second Prince's heart skipped a beat, because he knew who this person was.
Xie Dong, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan.
Xie Dong has always been a secret weapon of my father. He has rarely been used in recent years, and whenever he is used, it is a big deal.
Now, Xie Dong was summoned by his father to observe himself with his heart pupil!
What happened?
Time seemed to stand still...
Xiandu Pigeon House.
The place where people from other courts come to the court to live.
The pavilions and towers are extremely gorgeous, and the people living inside are obviously either rich or noble.
Yes, at least the people living in Fenghua Pavilion are like that.
They are all top literati of the Ziqi Wen Dynasty. The Ziqi Wen Dynasty is named after literature, and its intention to respect literature and the way of Taoism is fully demonstrated. They pride themselves on being far superior to other immortal dynasties in the field of literature and the literati of their dynasty are VIPs wherever they go in the world.
And this group of people are the top-level literati who participated in the White Jade Literary War.
When it comes to the conflict between two dynasties, naturally whoever has the real ability will come forward.
Therefore, they are all genuine top-notch figures in literature and art with real talents.
Top writers also have one characteristic: they are crazy.
Just then, a wild laugh broke out: "The prince of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty is actually not of pure blood. Interesting! Really interesting!"
"It is indeed as Brother Qi said. This incident happened two days before the literary battle and was a fatal blow to the enemy dynasty." Another purple-robed scholar laughed and said, "If it was really done by His Royal Highness King Zhou, it would be even more interesting."
"The princes are fighting for the throne, and they are using all means possible!" The third person said, "There is malicious slander, but this slander hurts his own father first. If it is really done by King Zhou, I admire him a little. He is really daring and has no taboos."
"Brothers, please don't just talk about power and intrigue, but discuss whether this matter is true or false."
"What's the difference between true and false? Anyway, the prince's reputation has been ruined."
"No! There is still a difference between true and false!" The last person held up the teacup: "At least the two special envoys from Baiyujing must be paying close attention to this..."
It is also a pigeon house, another quiet pavilion.
Two men in white stood side by side on the top of the attic.
When the wind blows, their white clothes flutter, and they look nothing like ordinary people in this world.
The man on the left is extremely handsome, in his twenties.
The person on the right was dressed as a woman with an ordinary appearance. He was the type who would be thrown into a crowd and not even a sound would be heard.
They are two special envoys from Baiyujing.
The boy's name is Ji Su.
The girl's name is Ji Yuechi.
"Brother, do you think this big revelation is true or false?" Ji Yuechi's voice was very pleasant, truly like heavenly music.
"It's very doubtful!" Ji Su said.
"Yes, the whole thing has a plot, sect characteristics, and a time chain. Everything fits together. Moreover, the person who revealed the secret happens to be from the Haoyuan Sect..." Ji Yuechi said, "How should we deal with it?"
Ji Su took a few steps forward: "The first step is to replace the leader of the Baiyu Wenzhan! Regardless of whether this person can be cleaned of this basin of dirty water, I, Baiyu Kyoto, will not let this basin of dirty water taint us!"
"At present, the two princes of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty are in their heyday. If the crown prince is replaced, it can only be the second prince Ji Yue. I heard that this person is a scheming person. I don't like him."
Ji Su smiled softly: "If the crown prince is replaced, it must be the second prince Ji Yue? Let's see if he can get out of this quagmire first!"
Ji Yuechi was slightly stunned...
"Sister, you don't like scheming people, but since you've stepped off the White Jade Stage, you can't avoid scheming games. You may not like it, but you have to understand it!" Ji Su said, "Such a big thing happened suddenly on the eve of the opening of the White Jade Literary Battle. We have to see the strange waves behind it through this incident..."
……
In the palace of the Immortal Dynasty.
There was a gleam of light in Xie Dong's eyes as he looked at Ji Yue quietly.
Sweat was dripping down Ji Yue's forehead, but he seemed unable to move at all.
Finally, Xie Dong's gaze slowly shifted away to His Majesty, and he shook his head gently.
For some reason, His Majesty did not feel the slightest bit disappointed when he shook his head, and he actually seemed to be somewhat relaxed.
When he relaxed, Ji Yue also relaxed for some reason: "Father, the emperor summoned me, but I don't know what happened?"
"You don't know?" said His Majesty the Immortal Emperor.
"I really don't know."
The Immortal Emperor's eyes slowly focused: "This big poster is everywhere in the city today, didn't you see it?"
The outer ministers' hearts suddenly tightened. Yes, there were big-character posters everywhere in the city today. It was absolutely abnormal that Ji Yue did not see them.
Ji Yue said: "I am a fool. I was drunk last night and woke up at noon. As soon as I woke up, I received an imperial order to enter the palace..."
Xie Dong nodded slightly, indicating that this was true.
Judging from the pupil of the mind, it was a fact that Ji Yue had a hangover last night. Sensing through the aura, there was indeed still a smell of alcohol on his body that had not yet dissipated.
“Take a look!” The Immortal Emperor waved his hand lightly, and a piece of white paper on the table flew towards Ji Yue.
Ji Yue was shocked when he saw it...
His heartbeat at least doubled...
This is totally unpretendable...
Everything shows that what happened last night was not done by Ji Yue.
Things have really reached a dead end here.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is crying outside the palace, begging Your Majesty to take charge of her..." The eunuch chief's voice came from outside.
His Majesty's face suddenly darkened!
cry!
cry!
Let me decide for you?
What decision?
Do you think I don’t understand how ambitious your Haoyuan Sect is?
Do you think I don’t know that you killed my first few children?
Considering the overall situation at that time, I turned a blind eye!
And when you wanted to go back to Haoyuan Sect to worship your ancestors and prepare for the birth of a dragon son, I did not agree. But you insisted on going. Who can really guarantee that you didn't have some reason for your insistence on going back to the sect?
Those who write big-character posters should naturally be executed along with their entire clan.
However, this does not mean that the content of the poster does not need to be verified! !
As long as he had this thought in mind, it was impossible for him to have any good attitude towards the imperial concubine at this moment.
"How can a concubine from the harem cry in the Immortal Dynasty's political arena? Order her to return to the harem immediately!" the Immortal Emperor gave the order coldly.
Just after the imperial concubine was driven away, the chief eunuch came in again: "Your Majesty, the special envoy from Baiyujing wants to see you..."
His Majesty the Immortal Emperor's face was dark blue. He took a deep breath and the dark blue on his face slowly disappeared: "Xuan!"
……
Wenyuan is where talented people gather.
Under the fluorescent lights at night.
Lin Su held up his blue and white porcelain cup and turned it in circles in his palm.
Opposite him, Pig'er's eyes were also circling around the blue and white porcelain cup. Why did she feel that the man in front of her was touching her heart with every move he made? However, she couldn't get close to him.
Because the night glow separated them.
Yeying is the protection set up by the young lady.
Seeing this layer of protection, she suddenly had a feeling that Master Lin treated me as his own, but Miss, you treated me as an outsider...
In fact, this is really a wrong accusation against Ji Qianling.
What we are going to talk about today is really taboo.
No matter who it is, no one is allowed to eavesdrop.
"The strategy has been implemented and has achieved fruitful results so far," said Ji Qianling.
Lin Su nodded and smiled.
"His Highness the Second Prince was summoned to the palace by His Majesty, but he has already erased the memory of last night. Therefore, even if Wenyuan Grand Secretary Xie Dong personally took action, and even though His Majesty has also conducted his own examination, he is innocent."
The smile on Lin Su's face froze for a moment: "Xie Dong?"
"Yes! His Heart Pupil is comparable to the top Heavenly Dao Cleansing Heart."
"It's really amazing to be able to accurately remove the memory of the previous night. Is this the divine calculation method of our sect?"
"We are now on the same ship. There is no need to hide it from you. It is true!"
Lin Su smiled. It’s not that you don’t want to hide it, but you know that you can’t hide it at all!
"Bai Yujing's special envoy has entered the palace! If nothing unexpected happens, your prediction is correct, they are going to replace him!"
Lin Su said: "Come, have a drink!"
Pour a cup of tea for Ji Qianling.
Ji Qianling took a sip and said, "I mentioned something yesterday, so I'd like to mention it again today! Do you want to be the Le Dao contestant of the Bai Yuwen competition?"
"Isn't this nonsense? This is my goal!" Lin Su said.
"Are you not being pretentious now?" Ji Qianling said with a smile.
"I'm really not being hypocritical! What you said yesterday was that you wanted the Second Prince to give me this reward. I refused this, not the reward itself."
"What do you mean?" Ji Qianling frowned.
"Senior Sister, are you and the Second Prince too optimistic? Do you really think that once the Crown Prince steps down, the Second Prince will be able to smoothly take over the leadership led by Bai Yuwenzhan?" Lin Su said.
Ji Qianling's heart skipped a beat: "Is there any variable in this?"
"It's not a variable, but a constant!" Lin Su said, "I only promised to find a way to get the Crown Prince out, and never promised to let the Second Prince take the throne, because I know clearly that the Second Prince will never be able to take the throne."
"Who could that be?"
"Senior sister, there is a proverb you may have heard of, which is called: When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains."
"When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains..." Ji Qianling said, "I've never heard of it. Is it an allusion?"
"It's not an allusion, but a short story. There was a bird called a snipe on the seashore. It saw a big clam shell and wanted to eat the meat inside. So it stuck its head into the clam shell and gnawed at it. The clam shell felt pain and closed its shell. In this way, the two creatures entered a stalemate. At this time, a fisherman came and easily put the two things into his bag. This is called "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins!"
Ji Qianling was filled with emotion: "It turns out that there is a way in nature... In this case, who is the fisherman?"
"First, he must be an adult prince. Second, he must be standing on the shore. Think about it, who could it be?"
Ji Qianling uttered three words softly: "King of Nanjiang!"
Lin Su smiled: "So, Senior Sister, don't use the Second Prince's special summons to lure me. On the contrary, I would like to extend an olive branch to you on behalf of the Third Prince. If you are willing, you can also participate in the White Jade Literature Battle. With your Heavenly Calculations, you can defeat the Calculations Tianjiao from the Purple Qi Literature Dynasty and make your name famous in the Immortal Realm World!"
A 12-level typhoon swept through Ji Qianling's heart...
There is a mystery behind what Lin Su said just now. This fisherman must be an adult prince standing on the shore!
There are only three adult princes: the crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince.
The fight between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince was so intense that its echo could be heard all over the world.
This time the Crown Prince was stabbed, and the Second Prince was summoned to the palace immediately. Although he used divination to hide the secret from Xie Dong and His Majesty, who among the civil and military officials in the court didn't have some plan in mind?
Can the second prince's suspicion really be cleared?
It is obviously impossible to completely remove this sting from someone's heart.
It is indeed unlikely that Your Majesty will replace the Second Prince.
Then, there is only one choice: the third prince!
King Nanjiang came to power in this way.
Lin Su will definitely get the qualification to run for election smoothly.
This kid actually said at this moment that he invited her, Ji Qianling, on behalf of the Third Prince!
Does Ji Qianling want to participate?
Of course I did!
The battle of white jade text involves calculation!
Think about it, who has she ever been afraid of?
Once she participates in the election, her name Ji Qianling will surpass Chongxiaojiu and will create ripples in the fairyland world.
She will be a rare woman of the same level as Su Yuexin!
However, she already knew this junior fellow apprentice very well, and she sensitively felt that this junior fellow apprentice was setting a trap for her again, and this trap was unfathomable to the naked eye!
"Junior brother, when you pulled me onto the Third Prince's broken boat on his behalf, have you ever considered the Second Prince's feelings? Have you ever considered the feelings of the Luotian Sect's top leaders?" Ji Qianling's words revealed the secret.
She, Ji Qianling, is not an isolated person.
She is from Luotian Sect.
Standing behind the second prince of Luo Tianzong is Mingqi.
The third prince is the target of suppression by the other two princes.
At this time, Ji Qianling was pulled over by him. Was he trying to instigate a rebellion against the Second Prince and Luo Tianzong?
Lin Su poured her another cup of tea and began his big trick...
"Senior Sister, I have always been skeptical about what kind of sect our Luotian Sect is. It is not very smart, but it has been able to cultivate an outstanding and extraordinary woman like Senior Sister. It is smart, but some things are always hard to see through. In fact, isn't the Second Prince the same? He also jumps back and forth between cleverness and confusion..."
After his sigh, there was a vast ocean...
There are always problems with your goals and positioning. You regard the Third Prince as your opponent, which is simply too absurd. What virtue and ability does the Third Prince have? He has no background and no foundation. Even if the Drunken Love Landscape is fake, it is true that he has no strength at all.
Do people who have status but no ability know what is suitable for them?
Suitable for specimen preparation...
What? You don't know what a specimen is?
It doesn't matter. A specimen is dead, but it is suitable for carving flowers for others to see...
Therefore, the best way for the Second Prince to position the Third Prince is to win him over rather than push him to the opposite side.
When the time is right, you might as well show him some kindness.
Although the Crown Prince is currently facing a stigma, please do not doubt Emperor Hao Yuanzong's ability to handle the situation, and do not doubt the decisiveness of Your Majesty, a monarch who rose to power through political scheming.
He can't fall!
He is also the Second Prince's longest-standing rival!
On the contrary, the second prince’s situation is not so optimistic, and he is under great pressure.
In this case, wouldn't it be appropriate to make good use of the title of the Third Prince and embody in him the spirit of "brotherly love and respect" that the Second Prince never showed?
I am such a worrier. The Second Prince has no friendship with me, so why should I go to such great lengths to help him plan? What am I trying to achieve? After all, I may still be deeply concerned about you, Senior Sister...
After these words, the arithmetic lines in Ji Qianling's eyes were completely messed up into a pile of mosaics...
sunset
The Immortal Emperor issued an order!
"Today, there is a vicious maniac and traitor of Haoyuan Sect, Zheng Su, who, out of hatred for the sect and the Immortal Dynasty, maliciously spread rumors about the crown prince. His crime is extremely heinous and he has been executed. His family and nine clans will be executed together! Anyone from all walks of life in the Immortal Dynasty who commits the same offense again will be dealt with in the same way!"
That’s all the imperial edict says.
The fewer words, the bigger the matter.
The discussion among the people in the city about the crown prince was finally settled.
Just keep everyone silent.
However, how could the shock waves in secret be like this?
The first wave of shock waves has come out, and the person leading Bai Yuwen’s battle has been replaced.
The reason was: the prince was suffering from rumors spread by evildoers and was ill. If he was not feeling well, he was not fit to lead such an important literary and Taoist event.
To everyone's surprise, the person who was replaced was not the Second Prince, but the Third Prince, Prince of Nanjiang.
When the news reached the Zhou Palace, the Second Prince, who had just regained consciousness from last night and was both frightened and surprised, gradually turned pale...
Is there any justice in this world?
I tied my head to my belt and played with my life, but in the end, the flower fell into someone else's family?
The white-haired old man behind him said, "I think what Qian Ling just said makes a lot of sense..."
After some explanation and consolation, the Second Prince's face slowly returned to normal and he nodded gently: "That makes sense! The Crown Prince has encountered such a big thing. If I take over his position directly, the world's reputation will be bad. Let Ji Cha take over first. As long as I can control him, what difference is there between what he gets and what I get?"
"Your Highness has understood!" said the white-haired old man with a smile.
The second prince smiled and said, "Let Miss Qianling infiltrate his camp. In the future, I will be able to rely on your daughter for many things."
The white-haired old man bowed deeply and said, "I will go through fire and water for Your Highness, without hesitation!"
