Chapter 67 The Secret Case of the First Emperor

Why the King of Heaven suddenly left for the Central Plains alone ten years ago is a reason that no one knows or can even guess.

Ten years ago, Prince Li Qin, who had always been in good health and was able to hunt on horseback with ease, suddenly contracted a cold. He became seriously ill and the injections were ineffective, and he died suddenly three days later.

When the emperor heard the bad news, he was deeply saddened, but in his extreme sorrow he did not appoint another prince. The ministers of the court reported this matter many times, but the emperor dismissed it in a few words. Since then, the prince's position has been vacant.

Six years ago, when the crown prince was about to turn twelve, he tied up his hair and became a disciple. The emperor planned to select several ministers who were popular in the court as his mentor. There was speculation in the court that the emperor had the intention of making the crown prince the crown prince.

Unexpectedly, one night, a fire broke out in the prince's mansion.

Rumor has it that the Crown Princess, who had gone crazy over the past few years due to excessive grief, went crazy again and committed suicide by setting fire to her palace.

What made everyone almost faint was that the prince was also in the main palace when the fire broke out. The main palace was engulfed by the fire, and no one in the palace escaped from the sea of ​​​​fire.

The fire burned for two days and one night and was finally extinguished. However, when everyone searched for the remains, they did not find the child's bones.

Some people said that the prince had been burned to ashes by the fire because of the child's weak bones; others said that the prince might not have been in the palace at all.

The emperor was furious and sent Jin Yiwei to investigate the matter.

After half a year of rigorous investigation, the Jin Yiwei dug up the ground of the Prince's Mansion, even swept away the remains after the fire, pieced it together repeatedly, and interrogated hundreds of people.

perished in the sea of ​​fire.

With great heartache, the emperor had no choice but to accept this result, and later made the second prince the crown prince, who is now the current emperor.

So far, "the prince died of typhoid fever", "the prince's concubine committed suicide by setting fire to fire", and "the prince's remains were missing", these three cases were taken together and became a major secret case in the era of the former emperor.

Having said all this, what does this have to do with the King of Heaven?

Of course there is a relationship. Not only is it there, it is huge.

The King of Heaven was once the prince's tutor, but the prince died suddenly. The King of Heaven felt that the world was about to change. He went to the Central Plains, firstly to pay homage to the prince who died young, and secondly, to meet the second prince.

Sooner or later, the Tianlong Sect will enter the Central Plains. The King of Heaven hopes to take multiple measures to avoid intensifying the conflict between the Tianlong Sect and the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, the whereabouts of the Heavenly King were sold to the Central Plains Wulin by the Dragon King, and a group of decent people took the bait. The Dragon King used the help of the Central Plains Wulin to get rid of the Heavenly King and ascend to the supreme throne of the Tianlong Sect.

After being secretly imprisoned for four years, the Tianlong Sect finally found out where the King was imprisoned, and organized people to rescue him.

In front of the three Shaolin Temple monks who knew that they were being used, they only tried to persuade the Tianlong disciples but did not stop them, allowing the Tianlong disciples to rescue the Heavenly King.

Of course, those monks may have had the idea of ​​​​letting the tiger return to the mountain and watch the two tigers fight.

Then, something even more magical happened.

After the Tianlong Sect members rescued the Heavenly King, they were attacked by mysterious forces on their way back to the Western Regions. Everyone except the Heavenly King was killed. The whereabouts of the Heavenly King are unknown, and his life and death are still unknown.

In that battle, in addition to the unknown whereabouts of the Heavenly King, the Tianlong Sect also lost Yaksha and Mohu Luojia. Three of the eight Heavenly Dragons were lost at once, and the Tianlong Sect suffered heavy losses.

Unexpectedly, the situation later became more serious.

Because they suspected that the Dragon King had planned to harm the Heavenly King, of course, they couldn't provide any evidence, and they didn't say it directly.

Therefore, under the banner of "Looking for the Heavenly King", Garuda, Kinnara and Gandharva left the Celestial Dragon Sect and wandered away for a long time.

This is not over yet. Because of the emotional entanglement between the neutral faction Asura and Garuda, she also left the Tianlong Sect and established an Asura Palace to recruit female disciples. She also brainwashed her disciples every day: "Men are not good things!"

one two three four five six seven.

There are seven GGs among the eight Heavenly Dragons of the Tianlong Sect, and only the Dragon King is left struggling to support them.

You guys just go away and settle the matter, I'll take care of it myself.

The Dragon King promoted new Yaksha and Mahulaka.

In this way, the Dragon King led Yaksha and Mohu Luojia to perform fierce operations, which actually made the Tianlong Sect become more powerful than before.

In fact, on the other hand, the King of Heaven is an expert in long-term valuation, and the King of Dragon is a short-term operation maniac.

The Heavenly King's guidelines for the Tianlong Sect are long-term and far-sighted. At first glance, they may seem ineffective, but if they are implemented consistently, the Tianlong Sect will undergo qualitative changes over time.

The Dragon King is just a short-term operation. It seems that through his fierce operations, the Tianlong Sect has become a lot stronger, but in some aspects, it has become more difficult for the Tianlong Sect to enter the Central Plains.

…

While King Cheng was playing with the keys to the temple, a maid delivered the latest issue of Beichou's information.

After King Cheng took a few glances at Beichou's information, he passed the information to Bai Jiuchi who was standing aside.

King Cheng strolled to a bookshelf. He casually pulled out a book, glanced at it, then put the temple key in his hand into the book and put the book back as it was.

This seemingly arbitrary method of hiding things is actually very clever.

Even if a thief comes to this secret room and wants to steal the key to the temple, he doesn't know where to find it. He can't steal all the thousands of books here, or steal them one by one, page by page. Search slowly.

Of course, King Cheng doesn't have to worry about which book he has forgotten the key in, because he only needs to remember which row of bookshelves and which compartment, and then he can send out people to help him search.

Anyway, for King Cheng, his human resources are almost unlimited, it depends on how you use them.

After King Cheng put down the things in his hands, he turned around and returned to the seat to sit down. He picked up a cup of tea that was just warm, smelled it first, then took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.

After taking three sips of the tea in his hand, he put down the tea cup and the maid removed the tea bowl.

King Cheng has a weird habit. No matter how good things are, he insists on doing more than three things. This includes food, clothing, expenses, and women.

Therefore, in addition to a few real princesses in the palace, the prince has a lot of women, but they are so ordinary. The prince only has one son and one daughter, so it is not really considered to have many children and many blessings.

Bai Jiuchi quickly read the information about Beichou in his hand. He had the ability to see ten things with one eye and the ability to use one mind at a time. As for the information about Beichou, King Cheng knew that it was best to leave it to Bai Jiuchi, so he waited patiently.

Suddenly, Bai Jiuchi's eyes trembled, and then his eyes burst into light, and he kept mumbling words.

After a while, Bai Jiuchi put down the information he had not finished reading. He excitedly raised his head and said to King Cheng: "Your Majesty, this is a great thing! Please read this."

After saying that, Bai Jiuchi handed the information about Beichou to King Cheng. He pointed at a certain paragraph with trembling fingers and said to King Cheng: "Your Majesty, please read this paragraph."

King Cheng frowned and looked at the small characters, and read with difficulty: "Husband, the rising sun comes out from the east, and the vigorous energy comes out from the west..."

King Cheng read that paragraph carefully, but he felt that it was just a travel note written in "Wulin Fun Stories" and there was nothing special about it.

Prince Cheng raised his head and glanced at Bai Jiuchi, only to see that Bai Jiuchi was still pointing excitedly at the few lines of words and kept saying: "Your Majesty, take another look, and take a closer look!"

Okay. King Cheng has to admit that he can't see anything.

This is a bad habit of Bai Jiuchi.

I don’t know if this is because he is getting carried away or because he is showing off, but when Bai Jiuchi makes any important discoveries, he likes to drag King Cheng to read the original text.

Prince Cheng doesn't need to read the original text, he just needs Bai Jiuchi to tell him directly whether the result is good or not, and he wants you to come and test it.

Of course, talented people always have some quirks. Relatively speaking, Bai Jiuchi's little problem is not a problem, and King Cheng also knows how to deal with such people.

"Panran, I don't see how this is surprising." Prince Cheng applauded him appropriately, and as expected, Bai Jiuchi was greatly affected by these words.

I saw Bai Jiuchi saying to King Cheng word by word: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is not dead, he is in Shu!"

"ah!"

…

Do you need a reason to rebel?

Don't need a reason?

This is a problem.

"The emperor takes turns, come to my house this year."

This kind of slogan is too vulgar, and even if the rebellion succeeds, it won't win many people's hearts.

After all, rebellion will cost people, and many people will die. Who will bear this huge responsibility depends on their ability to shirk responsibility.

A dynasty is very taboo about "improper access to the throne", because it will be followed by "the morals are not worthy of the throne", and then it may be that "everyone in the world will not accept it".

"Does the Prince and General Xiang Ning have the guts?!"

Although the reason for this kind of rebellion seems to be righteous and righteous, in summary, there is also a prominent question: What are you, do you have the talent?

Therefore, in order to have the legitimacy of being "established", many grassroots people have created many things to package themselves.

For example, a wild fox howls at night, a book is hidden in the belly of a fish, a white snake is killed in a dream, etc.

King Cheng does not need to package himself in this way. He is a direct descendant of the royal family and has the most legal status. Now, he only needs a suitable excuse, so King Cheng originally wanted to use the banner of "Qing Jun Side".

As for whether it is Qing Jun or Qing Jun, let’s call it in first.

But the situation is different now. If the crown prince is not dead yet, things will completely change.

As for the three unsolved cases related to the former prince, in addition to the case of "the prince died of typhoid fever", perhaps no one at the moment understands the "princesses committed suicide by fire" and "the prince's remains are missing" cases better than Prince Cheng.

Because "the Crown Princess committed suicide by setting fire to fire" and "the Crown Prince's remains were missing" were originally planned by King Cheng.

The reason why King Cheng made such a big move was actually very simple. He didn't want the emperor to make the crown prince the crown prince.

So who should be established?

Of course it's King Cheng.

As a result, King Cheng's hopes were dashed, and the emperor chose to make the second prince the crown prince in great sorrow.
