No wonder Jiang Wang was so surprised.
Cui Zhu was able to walk to the Ancestral Temple and throw that shot at Emperor Qi. This was not something that a simple force could do.
Take Hell's Gateless as an example. Today's Hell's Gateless can be regarded as a famous killer organization in the Eastern Region. But absolutely no Yama will have the opportunity to come in front of Emperor Qi.
Not to mention the assassination, there was no chance of getting close to Emperor Qi.
You have to work hard in Qi for many years to be able to achieve this step.
Once such a force takes action, it must have thought through the beginning and end, so as not to leave any obvious flaws and be caught so quickly - if it is really that simple, then Cui Zhu has long been thrown into prison by the green cards. .
"That's not true." Chong Xuansheng shook his head: "Even if there is any progress, Beiya will not leak any information until there is a definite breakthrough. This is a big deal."
Jiang Wang was a little confused: "Then what do you want to talk about?"
"Let me ask you." Chong Xuansheng said with a serious face: "Before today, have you met Cui Zhu?"
"Where should I go to meet you?" Jiang Wang shook his head: "I only learned this name when I participated in the Master's Ceremony this time."
Chong Xuan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "If you are sure, then it doesn't matter. Otherwise, I'm worried that someone will make an issue out of Cui Zhu's last turn to talk to you."
Jiang Wang didn't ask why anyone would make a fuss about this matter.
Or he blocked someone's way, or he was just jealous, there were too many reasons.
He has long realized that in this world, people are different.
As he said when he admonished Emperor Qi, "If you mix one body, loyalty and traitor will always exist."
And if someone really makes a fuss about this matter and finds evidence that Cui Zhu had met Jiang Wang, he can really pour a basin of dirty water on Jiang Wang and say that Cui Zhu took death as a step to lift Jiang Wang. step.
That's why Chongxuansheng asked this question. If Jiang Wang had seen Cui Zhu and where, Chongxuansheng could deal with it in advance. If he really hadn't seen him, then with Chongxuansheng's method, it would be impossible for anyone to have a chance. Throw out this basin of dirty water.
But when it comes to Cui Zhu...
The seemingly meaningless stab before his death, and all the efforts to disintegrate the body, soul, and life span, are hard not to make people who face this scene feel deeply.
Jiang Wang reacted immediately because he cut through all the distracting thoughts with his sword. Afterward, he would inevitably wonder what was the reason for making such a man with a promising future in the army go crazy and die. ?
"Before Cui Zhu died..." Jiang Wang said, "I said he had no regrets."
Cui Zhu's words were annihilated by him on the spot. Some strong people might still be able to hear them, but Chong Xuan Sheng was obviously not at that level.
When he heard this, he paused.
I couldn't help but discuss: "Which force do you think Cui Zhu comes from?"
This is indeed one of the things that people in Qi are most concerned about today. In terms of degree of concern, it even exceeds the Yellow River Meeting, but it is not convenient for public discussion.
When Jiang Wang remonstrated with Emperor Qi, he said that Cui Zhu's assassination was definitely not caused by some people in the country who wanted to usurp the throne. Because looking at the whole country of Qi, there is really no one who has the strength to change the dynasty. The Jiang family He firmly holds the supreme power. Conspiracies such as plotting to usurp the throne have no basis at all.
This view is naturally persuasive.
However, if we want to trace the source and find out who was behind Cui Zhu, it cannot be done by just guessing.
"How do I know?" Jiang Wang shook his head.
"Is he really from the Xia Kingdom?" Chong Xuansheng murmured to himself.
The words Cui Zhu yelled in the square were heard by everyone present, and now they are probably spread all over Linzi.
That sentence says - "In the thirty-first year of Shenwu, Cui Zhu assassinated Jiang Shu."
The Jiang Shu in this sentence is the real name of the current Emperor of Da Qi.
As the emperor of the overlord country who holds the supreme power in the world, no one dared to call him by his name for many years.
Shenwu is the reign name of the Xia Kingdom. Since the year 3888 of the Dao calendar, the Qi-Xia War ended with the Xia Kingdom completely withdrawing from the Eastern Region. Xia Kingdom, which was defeated and returned to the Southern Region, changed its reign name to "Shenwu"
, continues to this day.
Even if Jiang Wang didn't know what the "Shenwu" era name represented at the time, he should know it now.
He asked with some confusion: "But if you are from the Xia Kingdom, what is the meaning of this kind of assassination that is impossible to succeed at all? A mere monk in the Neifu Realm can't even pass my test, how can he assassinate the emperor?"
"No matter what force is responsible for it. Since there is no possibility of the assassination succeeding, it means that their goal is not to successfully assassinate..." Chong Xuansheng said: "It is the matter of assassinating the king itself."
Even with Chong Xuan Sheng's wisdom, he could not touch the truth when the information was completely lost. But he quickly drew a certain range.
"So? This assassination was just to trigger another war between Qi and Xia? The assassin was not from Xia, and the mastermind behind it wanted to make a profit?" Jiang Wang asked.
"It doesn't matter whether the assassin is from Xia or not..."
Chong Xuansheng suddenly shook his head and said: "The important thing is that you may be in trouble. Have you ever thought about why Cui Zhu chose to die today?"
He explained: "There are many masters in the army, and the nine soldiers of Qi are all elite. Because Wang Yiwu was trapped in the death row camp, Cui Zhu was able to win the opportunity to participate in the master's ceremony and come to this imperial martial arts competition.
And your duel with Lei Zhanqian made him see clearly that he will definitely not be your opponent and will not be able to participate in the Yellow River Meeting.
The time for the meeting of the Yellow River only depends on the water level, which can be as short as ten years or as long as fifteen years. He will never have another chance.
Therefore, this may be the only opportunity for him to get close to Emperor Qi in recent years. It is also the only opportunity in this life to declare that "Cui Zhu assassinates Lord Qi" at such a major ceremony.
"
Jiang Wang had to admit that Chong Xuan Sheng's analysis was very reasonable. It was hard to say that Cui Zhu's inevitable "accomplices" would not be hostile to him.
After all, without him, Cui Zhu and Lei Zhanqian would be able to compete with each other. Once Cui Zhu gets the qualification to go to the Yellow River Meeting and performs well in the Yellow River Meeting, it will almost declare his future success in Qi State.
.It will definitely be of great help to their plans.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now it stops before the name Jiang Wang, and can only sacrifice one stab and make one sound.
"I will try my best not to leave Linzi during this period," Jiang Wang said.
With his relationship with Chong Xuan Sheng, there is no need to act heroic. Even if he is not afraid, those troubles can be avoided.
"In addition," Chong Xuansheng said, "Before you go to the Yellow River Meeting, you should take time to go to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to the heroes and generals who are accompanying you. This is how it should be done for all expeditions."
Going to the Yellow River meeting to compete with the geniuses of other countries, Qi State is worthy of the "master's gift", so it can naturally be regarded as a very high-level expedition. As one of the representative figures, Jiang Wang, it is also appropriate to offer sacrifices to Qi's famous generals
Etiquette. Of course, if Xuan Sheng hadn't mentioned this rule, Jiang Wang would not have known about it.
"Do I need to go with those two people?" Jiang Wang asked.
Of course he was asking about Ji Zhaonan and Zhongxuanzun.
Zhong Xuansheng shook his head: "No need, everyone goes to his own way."
Jiang Wang thought for a while: "Then I'll go tomorrow."
He smiled and said: "I'll go for you!"
As the top noble family in Qi, the first generation of Bowang Hou naturally had a place in the sacrificial hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Zhongxuan Zunxiang didn't have to think about it, he must be going to sacrifice his ancestors.
Descendants of the first generation Bowang Marquis can naturally go to the ancestral temple to worship at any time, but it is a kind of honor to worship in the name of the country's expedition.
And Jiang Wang went to replace Chongxuan in order to ensure that he would not lose this honor.
Chong Xuan Sheng also laughed: "For things like offering sacrifices, it doesn't matter if you go to a few more temples. Remember to also pay homage to the first-generation city-destroying lord...your sister Feng Yao will be very happy!"
Jiang Wang:……
Although he called Li Fengyao like this in private, he was a little embarrassed to be mentioned like this by Fatty Chongxuan.
When the army goes on an expedition, the general will go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices. This is a customary ritual. As for which general or famous minister is sacrificed, no one cares.
But which famous general and hero is more popular, it can naturally show that his ability and meritorious deeds are more recognized by future generations of generals.
Therefore, it was a small favor for Chongxuan Sheng to allow him to offer sacrifices in a few more halls.
Chong Xuan Sheng came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Chong Xuan Zun has just come back, and the people who suppress Linzi will definitely not accept the decline of his status within the family. In contrast, Chong Xuan Sheng has too many things to deal with...
Going to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices is a simple matter. Just pay sincere respect, there is nothing to say.
What Jiang Wang cares about the most is Cui Zhu.
It's hard to say how much trouble Cui Zhu's stab could cause.
But from Jiang Wang's perspective, the current rule of Emperor Qi will not be shaken by this assassination.
Of course, the power behind Cui Zhu may have more unknown purposes.
However, what puzzled Jiang Wang was Cui Zhu's words "I have no regrets"...
Why tell him?
Is it just because they happened to be fighting at that time?
…
…
In addition to his daily spiritual practice, he also devoted himself to the study of the "Fire Realm" for a whole day.
They also burned incense and bathed, and then practiced meditation all night.
When daybreak came, the framework of the "Fire Realm" was finally roughly built... it was still very early in the process of taking shape.
At this time, you can throw yourself into Taixu Illusion and use the stage to deduce. Although the power consumption must be huge, it is undoubtedly the simplest.
But Jiang Wang didn't intend to do that.
Only by slowly deducing this killing method by himself can he have a deeper grasp. Just like the Eight-tone Burning Sea he created himself, which allows him to control it in advance, if it is replaced by the first-class high-grade method deduced from the performance stage,
The technique may be more perfect, but he can only learn and use it step by step.
At least you have to wait until your skeleton is solid before using the stage to flesh out your flesh and blood - Jiang Wang will not admit that this choice does have a little bit to do with the lack of "gong".
Jiang Wang stopped practicing for the time being and pushed out the door. He went to the Ancestral Temple without any entourage.
It is right to come to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices before going on an expedition. Moreover, Jiang Wang was in front of the Ancestral Temple just the day before yesterday and was promised to be the pride of the country, so he was not hindered.
Two guards stood in front of the main entrance of the Ancestral Temple, not squinting. Jiang Wang came over without asking a question.
So he walked quietly into the Ancestral Temple.
This is probably the quietest building complex in Linzi, perhaps only the lonely Bluestone Palace can compare.
All the guards on duty inside are the same as the two in front of the main entrance. They stand like stone sculptures and don't even blink when they walk in front of them. But judging from their aura, they are all good players.
Jiang Wang didn't know if there were top strong men guarding this place, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to explore the answer.
Walking inside in a solemn atmosphere, of course, you cannot go to the main hall.
Jiang Wang walked far away and walked into the accompanying hall.
Fengtian Hall and Huguo Hall are the two highest-level accompanying halls in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. One is mainly dedicated to the heroes who established the founding of the country, and the other is mainly dedicated to the heroes who established the founding of the country.
Of course, the latter is naturally far more popular than the former. After all, before Emperor Qi Wu restored the country, those meritorious families who founded the country, rebelled and died, had long since dispersed.
Most of the top famous families in Qi today rose up after Emperor Wu returned to the country.
The first place Jiang Wang went to pay homage to was naturally the ancestral hall of the first Prince Bowang.
Nowadays, the Chongxuan family is the most famous family in Qi State. The position of the first Bowang Marquis has also entered the Palace of Protecting the Country, but the position is slightly further back.
Because the Chongxuan family could only be regarded as emerging during the reign of Emperor Wu. When the Chongxuan family received the title of Bowang Marquis and became a truly hereditary family, it was a generation later than the Shimen Li family.
The ancestral halls of heroes who were instrumental in establishing and restoring the country, such as the first generation of city-destroying lords, are at the forefront of the National Protector Hall.
The incense of heaven's will is already prepared in the temple. It is said that this incense can carry the will of heaven and create a subtle connection between the worshiper and the worshipee's spirituality stored in heaven and earth. It is difficult to say whether it is true or not, and the price is extremely high.
Its fragrance itself can also warm and nourish the soul, but it is often used in sacrifices and is not very auspicious, so it is rarely used for spiritual practice.
Jiang Wang took three sticks, bowed respectfully, and inserted them into the incense burner.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Judging from the situation in the ancestral temple, Chongxuanzun should have arrived in advance - perhaps this is what Chongxuansheng reminded him of this the next day.
The reason is so that Jiang Wang does not have to meet Chong Xuanzun in private.
Looking at the statue of the first generation Bowang Hou in the lingci, Jiang Wang couldn't help but think...
If the person in Qingshi Palace was not deposed, or Chongxuan Futu did not stand with that person back then.
With the merits of destroying several countries in succession with the Chongxuan Futu, and later building the Futu Pure Land in the Mysterious Realm, he made great contributions to the human race... After all, he should have a place in the sacrificial hall of the Ancestral Temple, and it is not impossible to build another spiritual temple.
possible.
Jiang Wang didn't feel too much. After paying homage again, he went to the ancestral hall of Marquis Chengcheng.
Considering his relationship with the descendants of the Li family, he should indeed be offered a sacrifice.
At that time, the ancestors of the Li family destroyed Xiongcheng with ten arrows. Such power made future generations think about it and be fascinated by it.
That was no ordinary city, it was a city where the rebels were stationed heavily. The first generation of marquis who destroyed the city laid the foundation for victory in the battle to restore the country with ten arrows.
And the Shimen Li family has been passed down to this day, and its reputation has not faded.
After worshiping in a decent manner, Jiang Wang was ready to leave.
But outside the ancestral hall of the Marquis of Decheng, I casually glanced around and saw another ancestral hall - juxtaposed with the ancestral hall of the Marquis of Decheng, but obviously much deserted.
Naturally, this can only be the ancestral hall of the first Jiuhui Hou.
The hereditary title of the Zhang family in Fengxian had long been taken away, and it was cut off again and again until it was finally forgotten. However, the unworthy descendants cannot erase the contribution of the first generation of Jiuhui Hou to save the country.
In this Ancestral Temple, the ancestral hall of Jiuhui Hou has never been removed.
Of course, there are very few people who come here to worship. After all, the descendants of the Zhang family have been unable to find a place to stay in Linzi since a long time ago.
However... at this time, it seems that someone is making sacrifices there, and there is a faint fragrance of heavenly incense.
Jiang Wang looked around and saw no one else was there.
There are no guards in the Protector's Palace, probably just someone coming morning and evening to sweep the place.
After thinking for a while, he stepped inside.
