Chapter 53: The Real Murder Appears
Chen Fei slowed down. When the wolf approached the prey, he would lower his body, arch his back, and crawl forward. Chen Fei learned the wolf's movements, so that the sound of walking could minimize his breathing. He would stare at the prey and never relax.
Chen Fei wanted to approach the prey quietly, and he wanted to let the prey not find his existence when approaching the prey.
After walking around the corner, there was a flat road ahead, and the end of the road was connected to the cave. At this moment, Tuoba Fenghuang was waiting anxiously in the cave.
Chen Fei put his back against the stone wall, and he looked at it with the corner of his eyes. Seeing Tuoba Fenghuang standing in the middle of the cave and paced back and forth anxiously. She naturally should be anxious, because it was too late, An Xu might have taken his daughter and son-in-law back.
Tuoba Fenghuang is completely different from when she was with An Xu before. Her clothes have not changed, but her figure has become thinner, her cheekbones have become sharp, her legs are standing strongly, and her eyes are covered by countless golden lenses. They look like the compound eyes of flies, but they are not. They are characteristics that the three-headed bird monster has.
It was not until now that Shen Fei understood why the Tongtian Sect and the Faceless Killer Group have both risen in the past 30 years, and their rise is unstoppable. It turned out that the highest ruler in the empire secretly supported behind the scenes, and that person even created the leaders behind these two huge organizations.
I guess that person wants to use them to accomplish some things that he is inconvenient to deal with. I guess that person is actually dissatisfied with the influence of the Buddha sect in the country, so he secretly created a sect, explored a new source of power, and obtained the power to fight with the Buddha sect.
To put it this way, the so-called comprehensive attack on the Tongtian Sect is just a piece of paper. At this point, the identity of the manipulator behind the scenes is self-evident, but Chen Fei still has to wait for him to appear on his own initiative and use his own eyes to confirm his guess in his heart.
Tuoba Fenghuang was waiting anxiously. During this process, Chen Fei felt a little question. His original firm thoughts became hesitant. He couldn't help but wonder if there might be someone else's interference behind the scenes. Will there be someone hidden deeper than the two people? After all, that person has always been in charge of the government and the country, so he should not have time to run two huge organizations.
This is how people are. Even if things are already firm, they will doubt over time because they do not confirm with their own eyes. They are always suspicious. Only by finally confirming with their eyes can we make sure that the affairs do exist and finally believe them.
The mastermind behind the scenes was about to emerge. Not only Chen Fei, but many people have noticed his existence. When the evil plan revealed his true face, the person must be that person who is secretly dominating everything.
...
Wherever there is dispute, there is confrontation, wherever there is a difference between life and death, and there is a cruel battle.
There was a disagreement in the eldest prince's mansion on whether to rebel. The disagreement came from the eldest prince and his uncle Murong Nan. This was the first time that the eldest prince took the initiative to stand up against his uncle's opinions.
The eldest prince was unwilling to rebel, one was to care about the father-son relationship; two was to think that rebellion would not have a good result, but would ruin himself; three was to have a lucky mentality in his heart, thinking that his father might just be angry, not as Murong Nan said that he would kill them cruelly.
At the critical moment, the firm attitude of the eldest prince was shocked everyone. They thought this would be a useless puppet who was content with pleasure, but they never expected that the other party was so determined at the critical moment.
The thin Murong Nan looked at the eldest prince's resolute face and took a deep breath. He suddenly realized that perhaps he had always despised His Highness, the prince who was used to asking the opinions of the people around him in any matter. Thinking about it carefully, the eldest prince's silly personality is the reason why so many people are willing to surrender to him. They all think that this is a foolish monarch, and he will definitely have a future in the future, so he relaxed his vigilance.
Is it possible that everything the eldest prince once showed was his intentional? Will he deliberately act foolishly to reduce others' vigilance and win others' favor? After all, the Murong family and the Tuoba family are all families with many talents, and the combination of excellent bloodlines of the two families should not be so cowardly.
Looking at the eldest prince's face, many thoughts flashed through Murong Nan's mind, but he shook his head, because it was no longer the time to think about these idle and messy things, and what he should think about now is how to save his life.
He knew the character of the old emperor very well. He knew that the man would either not do it or do it. Now that things have come to such a field, the old emperor must be ready to kill it. He was too confused. He mistakenly thought that time had eliminated the other party's will, and wanted to kill all the tenth prince who could compete with the eldest prince, but he didn't know that this was digging his own grave.
In the past ten years, the old emperor has been seeking a way of checks and balances, so that the court can reach a balance, and the ministers rely on him for his use. The prince Zhen killed Chu Xiu, who he wanted to use, on behalf of the ministers, and was the first straw that overwhelmed his heart's defense line; the general Wang Shangguan Hongri changed his past obedience and led a hundred border army masters to the imperial capital to serve the king was the second straw that overwhelmed his psychological defense line; he joined forces with the ministers in the court to kill all the princes, which was the last straw that overwhelmed his heart's defense line.
Things can be done again and again, and no more. When the old emperor found that the balance between left and right could no longer maintain the stability of the court, he sought a complete change and used bloody massacre to achieve his goals. Locking the city was the best evidence.
I still remember that he suddenly locked the city thirty years ago. No one knew what he was going to do. It was not until the moment the butcher knife was swung down that the old ministers of the previous dynasty who had been showing their ignorance that they were, and that their stubborn resistance was not useful in this wise master who had never seen in history. Perhaps in the eyes of the old emperor, the vast land of Jiuzhou was inexhaustible and killed one group and then another. He never felt worried about the lack of talents and the empire could not be maintained normally.
Obviously, whether it is the relationship between father and son, or the luck in his heart, the eldest prince did not realize the seriousness of the situation, and the matter without his support for rebellion could not be successful, because there was a lack of a legitimate excuse and a reason to take action. Everyone knows that the army is not well-known, which means that he needs to use his silence to persuade the eldest prince to agree to his proposal to rebel and force the palace.
Murong Nan turned his gaze on Shangguan Hongri. He felt that the other party had experienced a bloody scene thirty years ago and should understand his feelings.
Sure enough, Shangguan Hongri came into contact with his gaze, understood and responded: "Your Highness, I think what Prime Minister Murong said is not without reason. I followed His Majesty all the way through ups and downs. I really understand His Majesty's temperament very well. That man's temperament is extremely cruel. You cannot relax your vigilance just because he is old.
Your Highness, you should have remembered thirty years ago, and you still remember the bloody scene in the imperial capital."
"This..." Even the King of Generals also spoke from the side. The eldest prince finally hesitated, "No matter what, rebellion is always a dead end. We have no capital to fight against our father."
"To be honest with Your Highness, there is actually capital." Murong Nan finally revealed his fox's tail.
"You mean!"
"For several years, I have been preparing for this..."
"Uncle, have you been rebellious?"
"No, no, no, I am just to be prepared for any trouble!" Unconsciously, Murong Nan began to call himself a minister in front of the eldest prince, indicating that he wanted to give the eldest prince more respect.
"Then your preparation is..."
“…”
After the secret discussion, everyone retreated. The eldest prince Tuoba Yuanji only left Chen Teng in the house. Chen Teng had a firebird outfit that remained unchanged for thousands of years. He had always listened quietly when the meeting was held. At this moment, the eldest prince was left alone and remained silent, waiting for the other party to speak first.
The room was quiet, the eldest prince sat and stood calmly, and the eldest prince asked, "What do you think about this?"
Chen Teng thought for a while and replied: "The Right Prime Minister is talking about a method. Huyi also feels that it is too passive to just sit and wait for death and let others slaughter."
"You think so?"
"Thirty years ago, Huye did not live in the imperial capital, but he also heard about the bloody and violent period of that period. I said frankly that Your Majesty is actually an extremely cruel tyrant. Look at the great General Shangguan Hongri's battles and kills countless enemies in the south and north, and destroys countless clans. Which battle is not his answer, and which action is not his support behind his back. The great General King's ability to achieve today's achievements is inseparable from His Majesty's unswerving support.
Bei Zhi believes that Your Majesty is a violent king who can do anything. Your Majesty is very smart and can always let people around him bear the infamy of violent murder. Shangguan Hongri, who fought south and north, now Tuoba Zichu, who is taking over the government affairs, is just his Majesty's pawn."
"So, rebellion is inevitable."
"As the saying goes, you will be able to be virtuous if you don't succeed! Your Majesty is still unwilling to appoint you as the crown prince. It can be seen that he never thought about appointing you as the crown prince, and the power behind you is so huge. What can you do? I think in Your Majesty's view, there is only one way to solve this problem in a practical way."
"I don't even eat my son even if I poison the tiger. I never believe that my father is really willing to harm his biological son. What's more, the left prime minister Tuoba Zichu has always shown good things to me. He is a roundworm in the father's belly. If I had known that my father had been inadvertently spreading it to me, why would he show kindness to me intentionally or unintentionally?"
"I can't figure out this humble position. Perhaps even Tuoba Zichu can't fully understand Your Majesty's true intentions, or like your Highness, you are worried about everything, we are worried about it.
But one thing, Your Highness, think about it carefully. Now looking at the entire imperial capital, how many people can pose a threat to Your Majesty?”
As soon as this said, the eldest prince lowered his head.
"The situation is very clear. The tenth prince Tuoba Zhen was imprisoned, and the eleventh prince Tuoba Lie's foundation was unstable when he first entered the imperial capital. The only person who could cause a substantial threat to Your Majesty is your highness! So who do you think the target of Your Majesty's locked city is?"
After taking a breath of cold air, the eldest prince's face changed drastically, and he was finally awakened by the calm words: "In this way, we have to seize the time to act."
"Your Highness, please rest assured! Although Your Majesty has absolute control over the emperor, the joint efforts of the Murong clan and General Shangguan are enough to make the empire tremble deeply. With the assistance of a group of capable people and strangers, as long as Lingyin Temple firmly maintains neutrality, this coup will be 50% sure of success."
"Love, my dear! My dear talent can really share my worries! If this success is achieved, I will immediately sign my dear as the right prime minister of the empire, with power below one person and above ten thousand people."
"Thank you, for your great achievements, I will devote all my efforts to your humble duties until my death."
...
The situation in the North Korea is changing rapidly!
After you finished singing, I made a debut. It is really hard to determine who will win if you win until the last moment.
The situation is so complicated, everyone has their own ulterior motives. Before Chen Fei arrived, he would never have thought that he would be so difficult to follow his predecessors to establish the Taoist sect and enjoy the national religion. He could not have imagined that his greatest resistance was not from the Buddhist sect, but from the seemingly ordinary mortals. It turned out that mortals had such terrible strength after years of hiding their strength.
Chen Fei is too lazy to think about the Buddhist sect now. Since those monks have always been holding their troops, let them continue to hold their troops. If they don’t act, they will be idle. (Monkey Jingling’s purpose is to launch a battle of pacific infidels. If you want to launch this war, you need to meet some harsh conditions. Chen Fei knows that Jingling is always waiting, and when he goes further in the human country, he will be able to launch a Jedi counterattack, and he will not be in a hurry.)
So let’s not consider him for the time being, let’s settle the internal affairs of the people first.
What Chen Fei needs to do is to support Prince Lie to ascend the throne!
The figures in the cave were swaying, and Chen Fei's heart became nervous. He noticed that the person Tuoba Fenghuang was waiting patiently had come slowly from the other side of the corridor. The true identity of this person was very important. This person may have been secretly manipulating everything, which directly led to the death of the third prince and the ninth prince!
That's right, it was him. Chen Fei had guessed the identity of this person in his heart, but he still had to use his eyes to determine the guess in his heart and determine the truth of the facts. He had to see clearly the true face of that person, break his former fantasy, and plan a new path for the rise of Prince Lie. If he was really that person, he would prove that all his previous plans were wrong and the situation needed to be re-estimated.
"Pu, pu, pu, pu." The black shadow appeared at the other end of the corridor. His steps were powerful and frequency, firm and dynamic, as if they belonged to a young man, but they were much more calm than ordinary young man.
