Chapter 35: Patricide and brother Liu Zhi'er (more chapters requested for further reading)

The heads of the three families immediately understood that the situation was serious, and they quickly spread the word without caring about the smell of blood in the air.

"Bloody clothes with blood on them."

After reading it, all three of them took a deep breath.

The previous emperor ascended the throne before moving south, and he was an elder brother. Therefore, the new emperor's lineage was not considered a direct lineage of the Han Dynasty.

So before the emperor jumped off the cliff, he originally planned to pass the throne to his brother's orphan, Liu Bao, Prince of Beipu County, instead of Liu Ke, who had just become the crown prince!

When the Han Dynasty moved to the south, Liu Bao, the king of Beipu County, was only eight years old. It was impossible for the officials to support a child as emperor in the midst of chaos.

Now I am twenty-eight years old, just right.

But he never thought that Liu Ke would tamper with the imperial edict and ascend to the throne himself.

In the palace, Liu Bao was restrained everywhere, and it was not until recently that he found the opportunity to send the blood letter he wrote out of the palace.

He does not seek to regain his position, but only hopes to make the true legacy of the late emperor known to the public and restore peace to the Han Dynasty.

As for why this blood book got into Yu Wenzan's hands, it is not difficult to understand.

There was a woman in the Yuwen clan who was adopted as a concubine by the king of Beipu County. She died a little early, but she still had such a relationship with her.

Because of this, after all calculations, in the entire Qiongzhou City, only the Yuwen family is the strongest support Liu Bao can find.

Yu Wenzan was already in tears, covering his face with trembling hands:

"My third brother Yu Wenbai, as the auxiliary minister, has known about this matter for a long time, but he has kept it secretly. He wants to seek opportunities to find out Liu Feier's accomplices in the court, deal with them together, and clear out the imperial court."

"Being the regent is not an act of rebellion, but an act of desperation!"

"Sanlang originally planned to be the regent, directly clean up the two ministers in the court, eliminate the traitor Liu Fei'er who usurped the throne, and ensure the stability of the court so as to resist the incoming Donghu army."

"After the Donghu army retreats, we will work with the civil and military forces of the DPRK to support the Beipu County Prince to ascend the throne, return power to the emperor, and look for another opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty."

The head of the Zhou family, Zhou Jia, was thin and elegant. He did not believe Yu Wenzan's words easily, but only expressed his doubts:

"If that's the case, why did the late emperor make Liu Zhi'er the crown prince?"

Yu Wenzan's eyes flashed and he clenched his fists:

"Is there anyone in this world who doesn't care for himself?"

"Even if it is a small sect, the late emperor wanted his son to succeed him, not his nephew."

"It's a pity that the late emperor only had six sons."

Zhou Jia was even more confused:

"The first five princes all passed away due to various reasons. I know that."

"But since Liu Fei'er has been specially brought into the palace from the private sector and established as the prince, it is considered that he can inherit the throne."

"The late emperor also had selfish motives, so why didn't he pass on the throne to the crown prince before his death, but instead passed him on to the king of Beipu County?"

"Because I can't."

Yu Wenzan slammed the table and cried with sorrow:

"I also accidentally found the secret letter left by Saburo and found out the inside story!"

"There are rumors among the people that the prince and brother Liu Zhi'er are fighting against each other. In fact, this is not a rumor, but the truth!"

"You three can think about it. If the prince dies, who will benefit?"

Zhou Jia responded as he should:

"Of course it's Liu Pheasant who succeeds as the crown prince."

Yu Wenzan reveals another shocking news:

"The late Emperor had not contracted any serious illness in the twenty years since he moved south. He survived the severe epidemic at that time. Why did he suddenly contract a serious disease?"

"Contracting a serious disease is not an incurable disease. It can be cured. Why do you have to flee to the cliffs and jump into the sea to die?"

"After the death of the late emperor, who is the one who gained the vested interests?!"

After asking three questions, the heads of the three families were shaken.

Could it be

Wu Yi, the head of the Wu family, is a straight-tempered person who is quite outspoken.

His chest heaved, he knocked over the soup in front of him, and couldn't help but stand up:

"Poison?!"

"The late emperor has only one son left, so he will definitely not be more vigilant. The only one who has the chance to poison him is Liu Pheasant!"

The head of the Zheng family, Zheng Bing, has always been kind to others and has no independent opinions. Driven by Wu Yi's emotions, he threw down the bowls and chopsticks and said loudly:

"The late Emperor may have seen through Liu Pheasant's thoughts!"

"For the sake of becoming the crown prince, he killed his brother and claimed that the prince fell into the water and died."

"And for the sake of Jin Luan under his buttocks, he poisoned the late emperor and claimed that he was ill!"

"The late emperor must have been deeply poisoned and realized that Liu Fei'er was so ambitious that he killed his father and brother. He jumped into the sea in despair."

Zhou Jia no longer had any doubts and frowned:

"In this way, the late emperor will definitely not pass the throne to Liu Pheasant. It is natural for the Beipu County Prince to succeed to the throne."

"As for the late emperor's ordering General Yuwen and Grand Master Yang to assist the government, it should also be to suppress Liu Pheasant!"

"Exactly."

Yu Wenzan suddenly sighed, his tone a little calmer:

"When the late emperor was critically ill, Sanlang was named a general and ordered to assist the government."

"Not only because Sanlang is brave and has the ability to resist the Donghu army, but also because I, Yuwen, are the in-laws of the Prince of Beipu County!"

"It's a pity that the late emperor, despite all his calculations, failed to predict that the ambitious Liu Fei'er would sneak up on San Lang with cold arrows and completely silence him!"

Zhou Jia looked horrified and his eyes were sharp:

"There are two important ministers in Tuogu's administration. Let's put it this way, the veteran minister of the Five Dynasties, Grand Master Yang, who has always been prestigious."

Yu Wenzan sighed and sighed, staggering a few steps and almost falling:

"I originally thought that the veteran of the Five Dynasties must be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but I didn't expect that the old thief had been won over by Liu Fei'er a long time ago!"

"Old thief Yang Zhong has been secretly working with Donghu for many years. Not long after Liu Feier ascended the throne, Sanlang found the evidence and intercepted a Donghu spy."

"And Liu Pheasant used this as a threat to force Yang Zhong to help him ascend the throne!"

"Although this matter is secretive, there are still some people in the court who know about it. If the three of you want to investigate, you will definitely be able to find out."

The three family heads were silent.

Regarding Yang Zhong's secret communication with Donghu, there were speculations both inside and outside the court.

I just didn't expect that it would also involve such extremely bad things as tampering with the late emperor's edict and killing his father and brother.

Yu Wenzan's words are mixed between true and false, which is really hard to distinguish.

And what was written in the blood edict was also sincere and seemed to reveal true feelings.

For a long time, the three family heads looked at each other and said in unison:

"We must not sit back and watch the Han family fall into the hands of such despicable villains!"

Having said that, the faces of the three people who spoke fiercely looked angry, but they looked quite fake.

What does the Han Dynasty usurpation have to do with their aristocratic family?

Everything he did was for the benefit of the family.

Yuwen Zan touched the dancer's body and dipped his thumb into the blood.

He was afraid of pain. Not to mention using a knife to bleed himself, it would be too painful to bite his finger, so he deliberately killed the dancer to collect blood.

He put his fingerprint on the blood edict:

"I, Yu Wenzan, just want justice for the Han Dynasty, and I just want Sanlang to die as he deserves!"

"I hope you will join me in killing Liu Pheasant, seizing Qiongzhou City, and welcoming the Beipu County King to the throne!"
