The God-Emperor announced the start of the court meeting.

A red-robed official came out: "I have received news that an immortal broke out with 'Dragon Blood Disease' and died of body parts. After investigation, it was found that this was caused by drinking unpurified dragon blood. I suggest that the people should be reminded immediately to prohibit the sale of dragon blood."

and drinking unpurified dragon blood.”

"I have also heard about this." Another minister came out and said: "The head of the Gongsun family suffered from dragon's blood syndrome the day before yesterday. His whole body was covered with dragon scales and he died suddenly."

"Master Gongsun?" The Emperor looked surprised and looked at an official behind Tu Zheng.

The official hesitated, and finally nodded: "My father did die suddenly from dragon's blood."

Then, some officials from aristocratic families came forward and said that a member of their family had died suddenly due to dragon blood in recent days.

The God-Emperor sighed with emotion and ordered that citizens were prohibited from taking dragon's blood themselves, let alone selling dragon's blood at will.

When True Immortal Hunyuan saw this scene, especially the calm demeanor of the officials from the aristocratic families, a chill came into his heart.

Fake, all fake. These family members were all killed by the Kunwu clan. Dragon blood is just an excuse.

Hunyuan Zhenxian has studied eighteen uses of dragon blood. Although dragon blood has side effects, the probability of causing draconemia is three out of ten thousand. How could so many people die from draconemia?

It's just that everyone needs an excuse to cover up the recent conflicts.

Peng Yu assassinated Li Huan, pretending to have dragon blood. This gave everyone a suitable excuse.

Regardless of whether Li Huan really self-destructed because of dragon blood, or was assassinated, the God Emperor did not intend to pursue it, and directly killed him due to dragon blood, and then blamed all the casualties of the family on this matter.

The Deng Deng King of the God King lineage said leisurely: "Jinwu City has been quite uneasy recently. Some disciples from aristocratic families died suddenly in public, presumably they were also caused by dragon blood, right?"

The family officials were silent.

After the Sixth Prince left the palace, the God-Emperor no longer had any scruples in taking action and beheaded a large number of people in Jinwu City.

Now that the God-Emperor wants to turn over this matter lightly, how can everyone in the family be willing to do so?

At this time, another official came out.

"Your Majesty, I impeach the crown prince for conniving the officials of the East Palace to commit illegal acts. There are thirty-eight major crimes."

coming!

The prince was troubled, and his two younger brothers looked at him with "concern" in their eyes. They stood on the left and right, fearing that the prince would "fall ill" and escape.

"Say." The God-Emperor looked calm, taking in the little actions of his three sons, and asked his confidants to read out the charges.

"The slaves of the East Palace are running rampant in the streets and disrupting the market."

“Officials from the Eastern Palace talked wildly about state affairs and insulted important ministers from the Heavenly Palace.”

"The East Palace slanders the emperor in private, which is not the courtesy of a monarch and a minister."

"Donggong took bribes and formed a party to act recklessly."

…

Read out one by one.

The prince sneered: It's nothing more than wanting to inflict a crime. These days, I am staying in the East Palace with peace of mind. How can I commit any crime?

But after hearing a third of it, his expression changed and turned pale.

Some things were indeed done by him. Some things, although not done by him, were indeed done by his henchmen, such as taking bribes, selling official positions, and secretly befriending military generals.

But as he continued to listen, he felt something was wrong.

The following crimes have nothing to do with him at all.

For example, a member of a certain family beat someone to death. Dong Gong stepped in to suppress him.

"Why did I interfere? This was obviously suppressed by the head of their family."

There is also a certain aristocratic family who secretly pretends to be a bandit and robs, which is also attributed to the prince's instruction to raise a private army.

There were even soldiers and armors unearthed by some aristocratic families, and they were said to be kept for the prince.

"Father." The prince's expression changed: "This is a trap. I definitely have no intention of raising a private army or making weapons."

He looked at the officials from the aristocratic families who had taken refuge with him in the past. Some of their descendants were officials in the East Palace. Part of the charges just read out were their family affairs.

But at this time, the head of the Miao family jumped out and identified Dong Gong.

Then several heads of aristocratic families insisted that all the things they did were under the instruction of the East Palace.

"You are talking nonsense." The prince flushed with anger: "I have no idea about these things at all. My father and I require a thorough investigation."

The God-Emperor ignored him at all, and instead became even more disappointed with the prince.

Idiot, you are so stupid that you still don't understand.

You make friends with aristocratic families, why don't those aristocratic families want to treat you as a puppet. They go out to do things in your name on weekdays, and if you commit any crimes later, they will be dumped on you. With your brain, how dare you dream of the throne of the God Emperor?

At the seat of the God King, King Zhenbei among the Eight Desolate God Kings spoke up: "Your Majesty, the emperor's younger brother also has something to report."

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor's nephew suddenly fell ill. After investigation, the matter pointed to the East Palace."

"Uncle Imperial, my nephew also wants to start the memorial. The prince has no filial piety. He does not respect his concubine and does not protect his younger brother."

"After the noble concubine died of illness, the prince held a grand banquet in the East Palace without any sign of sadness. His Highness the Sixth Prince went out of the palace to observe mourning for his mother, and the prince secretly sent someone to assassinate her. After investigation by his nephew, some of the sources of the reward funds pointed to the East Palace."

All the god-kings spoke one after another. They did not care about national affairs, but only discussed family affairs.

Finally, King Su said: "The prince has no virtue and cannot inherit the family business. I ask your majesty to think deeply and depose the East Palace."

As soon as this statement came out, the officials were in an uproar.

Li Sheng said sternly: "If you want to impose a crime, why bother? The East Palace is involved in the fate of the country, how can it be easily deposed? Your highnesses came to the palace today just to do this to harm the country?"

The old Heavenly Master had something bad in his mind. Of course he understood that the God Emperor was serious this time.

But he couldn't understand that now that the sixth prince was alive and many things had nothing to do with the prince, why did the God Emperor insist on clinging to the prince?

Zhenbei Heavenly King: "The prince acted recklessly and committed a heinous crime. The Heavenly Master won't let us speak, so let's ask Jin Zheng to speak. If the few officials just stated that the confession is true, what crime should be sentenced?"

King Xuan Yao: "Tianshi, even though you were once the Tutor of the East Palace, the prince raised a private army and forged weapons, which is tantamount to conspiracy. Do you still want to cover up such a crime?"

"Celestial Master, what you are discussing is state affairs. I am not familiar with state affairs, so I cannot speak out. But when our God King comes to the palace, we are discussing family affairs." King Su said slowly: "The God Emperor is the lord of the world, and he is also the son of my Kunwu clan.

Chief of the great clan, if an unfaithful, unfilial, unfaithful and unrighteous person becomes the God Emperor and holds the throne of Kunwu, how can my family be at peace? How can we, the God King, be convinced?"

"Old Heavenly Master." The Great Sun King said with a smile: "If you want to discuss national affairs, then we will put it down. If Kunyu becomes the God Emperor, all the thirteen God Kings of my Kunwu clan will rebel. This turmoil in the heavens is not

Trouble?"

Ran Deng King: "If the Heavenly Master insists on doing this, he will be the enemy of my Kunwu world and all the heavens and worlds. You are both Taoist and Confucian, is this the peace you want in the world?"

King Gu: "The Heavenly Master respects Confucian etiquette. Kunyu is your Majesty's eldest son and the Queen's biological son. According to Confucianism, he is indeed the only heir. But my family, Kunwu, has the most respected bloodline in the world. His bloodline is comparable to Kunwu's holy body.

?"

"My family has another heir. How to pass on the position of God Emperor is not for outsiders to dictate."

Li Sheng was silent.

Prince Bao?

No, he has no feelings for the prince.

The focus of his dispute with the God-Kings is the theory of bloodline inheritance that has been passed down from the Dakun Dynasty to this day. He can prevent the crown prince from inheriting the position of God-King, but he will never allow the Holy Body of Kunwu to ascend to the throne.

Starting from the first generation of the God Emperor, Da Kun pursued bloodline inheritance.

The first ancestor of King Gu was the first-generation God-Emperor and the son of the Holy Queen. Because he had no divine bloodline, he was demoted to a mortal. In the end, he was succeeded by the second-generation God-Emperor with the purest bloodline.

From that time on, it has become a common practice for the sons of gods to be demoted to mortals without divine veins.

Over the past thousands of years, how many families have been torn apart because of this rule? How many aristocratic families have resorted to ruthless tactics, drowning newborn babies of mortal blood with their own hands."

Li Sheng is a mortal who has cultivated the Tao and has no natural divine bloodline. What he dislikes the most is the group of gods who talk about bloodline.

Because of Kunwu's Holy Body, Kun Hao became the God King right after he was born. In the eyes of the kings of the Kunwu clan, this is a matter of course. Even because of Kunwu's Holy Body, Kun Hao's inheritance rights should be the first.

.The prince should go down obediently and make way for Kunwu's holy body.

But in Li Sheng's eyes, this was nonsense.

Why? Why can innate blood determine everything? What do acquired wisdom, personal efforts, and one's own character mean in the eyes of these people?

Therefore, he would rather support the Prince of the East Palace, but also cut off the tradition of Kunwu's blood supremacy.

However, when he turned around and looked at other aristocratic families.

Many officials from aristocratic families lowered their heads, and some even looked at themselves with scrutinizing eyes, showing hostility.

They also have family heritage and understand the focus of the dispute between Li Sheng and the Kunwu family. Naturally, they will not side with Li Sheng.

In the world of Dakun, blood is supreme. Confucian and legal concepts, inheritance by direct eldest son, all have to take a back seat.

This is not only the core of common interests of the Kunwu Divine Clan, but also the three thousand divine veins.

At this moment, Li Shengcai deeply understood how entrenched the tradition that had been rooted in Kunming for thousands of years was.

But even so, he refused to give up.
