During this day, new news about the Shangguan family and the royal family spread rapidly in the streets and alleys of Dajin City.
At this time, everyone knew that the emperor threatened to confiscate the Shangguan family and exterminate the entire family.
Of course, everyone knew that the emperor gave the Shangguan family three days to prepare.
After putting these two pieces of news together, everyone was shocked.
Did the emperor take the wrong medicine? How could he make such a decision?
Since he wanted to confiscate the Shangguan family and exterminate the clan, he should arrest the Shangguan family ancestors on the spot, and then send troops to besiege the Shangguan family's residence.
This gives the other party three days to prepare. Does it mean that the other party has no time to rebel?
The Shangguan family is not an ordinary family.
There is one Saint Yuan realm and several psychic and Tong Yuan realm martial arts cultivators.
Give them time to prepare, and then maybe the emperor will raid their homes and exterminate their clan.
Instead, the Shangguan family in turn removed the emperor from his position.
For a time, the restaurants and tea shops were full of voices discussing this matter.
Everyone who knew something about national affairs participated in the discussion.
After all, something like this is rare not only in a hundred years, but also in a thousand years.
"You tell me, Your Majesty, he is not bewitched by a traitor, right? Otherwise, how could he make such a decision?"
Everyone involved in the discussion did not dare to point the finger at the emperor, so they felt that the emperor might have been bewitched by treacherous ministers and traitors.
"I think this is very possible, otherwise the Holy Spirit wouldn't have done this."
"I also think it's possible."
"Me too."
"I don't think so. I think it may be that the ancestor of the Shangguan family has some unknown means, which forced the Holy One to take this step."
"This is unlikely. If the ancestor of the Shangguan family was really that powerful, he could have rebelled on the spot. Why has there been no movement until now?"
"..."
Everyone in the discussion could not come to a unified conclusion.
Mainly because no one has ever encountered such a thing, and there is no history to follow, so we can only speculate based on imagination.
And just when no one could come up with a strong statement, a well-informed person suddenly spread a bombshell news.
According to this well-informed person, both the Shengshang and Shangguan families are investigating the head-lowering technique.
The emergence of this news instantly triggered a discussion.
People couldn't help but wonder if the emperor made such a decision because he had fallen under the influence of a head-lowering spell.
But then the question arises, who used the head-lowering technique on the emperor.
Who is that person that has such magical powers?
You must know that the emperor is a Saint Yuan realm martial arts cultivator with top strength. Who can bow down to him?
For a time, all the topics of discussion turned to this aspect.
While everyone was talking in the streets, Jin Haoming in the palace and Shangguan Jinming of the Shangguan family also got the news.
Shangguan family.
Secret meeting room.
"I didn't expect that the dog emperor was also investigating the head-lowering technique?!"
A clan elder in the secret meeting room said in surprise.
Like him, other clan elders present were also surprised by the news.
Although they thought the emperor had a problem, they didn't expect that the emperor himself knew that he had a problem.
This seems to indicate that the person who surrendered the emperor has failed?
If not, how could the emperor realize that he had been demoted?
If he had not failed, shouldn't the emperor have been in a state of being demoted?
Shangguan Jinming looked at all the clan elders and said: "If nothing else, it at least shows that our speculation is correct. The emperor is very abnormal this time."
"Yes, the dog emperor went to investigate this matter himself, which is enough to explain the problem."
Many people turned around one after another.
But at this time, a clan elder reminded: "There is another possibility, that is, the Dog Emperor deliberately used such behavior to confuse us."
"You can think about it carefully. Since that dog emperor gave us three days, it's not good for him to openly go back on his words."
"If we deliberately investigate the head-lowering technique now, it will give us an illusion and make us unprepared."
As soon as these words fell, Shangguan Jinming immediately shook his head and said: "The possibility you said is possible, but it is very small, because there are many ways for the emperor to regret it, and there is no need to make it so complicated."
After saying that, he turned to look at Shangguan Boshan and said, "Have you investigated the source of this matter clearly?"
Shangguan Boshan immediately replied: "Ancestor, we have completely investigated it."
"Tell me something." Shangguan Jinming gestured.
Shangguan Boshan stood up immediately, then looked at all the clan elders and said: "According to what I have investigated so far, the source of this incident is that a young man of unknown origin came forward to provoke our Shangguan family."
"The four domestic slaves who were present at the time were provoked by the man and wanted to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, the man was so eloquent that he made it difficult for them to do anything with just a few words."
"After the four domestic slaves at the back came back to report, Rong Ren took people over to check the situation."
"As a result, those four slaves didn't know what evil they possessed. They turned their guns around and beat Rong Ren to death in the street in front of everyone."
"Looking at it now, those four people should have also been affected by the head-lowering technique."
As soon as Shangguan Jinming's words came out, the clan elders present immediately looked at each other in confusion.
They hold high positions and don't care about the little things in the clan, so they have no idea what the source of the matter is.
When they heard the news, their minds were filled with questions about why Cui Tianzhi dared to beat Shangguan Boming to death in the street, and what the emperor's attitude was.
After finding out the emperor's attitude later, they were eager to discuss how to deal with the matter and why the emperor did what he did.
It can be said that I never thought about the root cause of the matter from beginning to end.
As a result, Shangguan Boshan now said that the four domestic slaves had their heads lowered.
A clan elder stood up and asked, "Are those four slaves still there?"
"They took advantage of the chaos and ran away. We are still searching for their whereabouts, but I'm afraid there won't be any news in a short time."
Shangguan Boshan replied.
"Run away?"
Many clan elders groaned.
However, it is easy to understand such a result. After all, the situation was very chaotic at the time, and no one had the heart to care about those small characters.
"What about the unidentified young man?" Another clan elder asked.
"She's also missing. I'm arranging for people to search for her."
Shangguan Boshan explained.
Upon hearing this, several clan elders immediately said: "That is most likely the head-lowering technique performed by that young man."
"Yes, it's very possible. Since the incident happened because of him and he was at the scene at the time, he is indeed the most suspicious."
"We must find that person."
"..."
As soon as they finished speaking, several clan elders spoke up and gave objections.
"I think that person was just to divert attention. You can think about it carefully. If it was really him who lowered his head, how did he sneak into the palace and attack the emperor?"
"Yes, if that person's strength can easily sneak into the palace and bow down to the emperor, then he is stronger than the Saint Yuan realm. How can there be such a strong young man in this world?"
"I think that person is just trying to confuse people."
"..."
A group of clan elders each have their own opinions.
After some debate, everyone's eyes turned to Shangguan Jinming.
In the end, it is up to the ancestors of the family to decide.
Shangguan Jinming glanced at everyone, and then said to Shangguan Boshan: "Three things, the first is, don't stop searching for the four slaves and the mysterious young man."
"The second thing is to transfer the family's potential young talents and preserve the blood of my Shangguan family."
"The last thing is, pay attention to the movements in the palace and see what the emperor does next. Report the results to me as soon as possible."
Shangguan Boshan hurriedly stood up and accepted the order: "Yes, ancestor."
That afternoon.
Inside the Forbidden City Palace.
Cui Tianzhi knelt in front of Jin Haoming and reported on the investigation of the head-lowering technique.
After Jin Haoming listened from beginning to end, he said solemnly: "It has nothing to do with Nanzhao Kingdom?"
Cui Tianzhi immediately replied: "Your Majesty, according to my current investigation, all of this has nothing to do with Nanzhao Kingdom."
"Who could that be?"
Jin Haoming frowned.
If it wasn't the head-lowering technique, then why did people like myself and Cui Tianzhi lose control of their bodies?
This is really a mystery.
After thinking for a while, Jin Haoming said to Cui Tianzhi: "Cui Aiqing, please get up first and then talk."
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
Cui Tianzhi stood up slowly.
Jin Haoming looked at him and said, "Who does Cui Aiqing think is manipulating us?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't have any clue about this matter."
Cui Tianzhi said nervously.
He was afraid that if the emperor was upset, he and Xiahou Jun would sacrifice flags to each other.
After all, the whole thing started because he and Xia Houjun killed two masters from the Shangguan family.
Perhaps as long as they are dealt with, the anger of the Shangguan family can be calmed.
"Have you investigated the original source of this matter?"
Jin Haoming suddenly asked again.
Hearing this, Cui Tianzhi suddenly remembered that before he went to investigate the head-lowering technique, he had arranged for Xia Houjun to investigate the origin of the whole thing.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have arranged for Xiahou Jun to investigate this matter. There should be some results."
Cui Tianzhi hurriedly replied.
I was just thinking about how to save my life, but I forgot about such an important thing.
Fortunately, the emperor reminded me.
"Xuan Xia Houjun enters the palace." Jin Haoming ordered.
Soon, this decree was quickly conveyed to the outside world, and it didn't take long to reach Xiahou Jun.
Xia Houjun hurried to the imperial study room under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace.
After Xiahou Jun finished the ceremony, Cui Tianzhi took the lead and said: "Xiahou Jun, please report the origin of this incident to the Holy One and explain everything you have investigated clearly."
"Yes." Xia Houjun agreed immediately, and then told Jin Haoming the beginning of the whole thing.
After hearing this, Jin Haoming nodded slowly and said, "It seems that the young man with a mysterious identity is the key."
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen will try to find a way to find that young man." Cui Tianzhi volunteered.
"There is no need to do useless work. If he really did it, then with our strength, it would be impossible to find him."
Jin Haoming has a clear mind and knows that this is a futile task and there is no need to waste time on it.
After all, if that young man really used the head-lowering technique, then there would be a way to control them again.
So even finding him would be of no use.
What really matters now is to find a way to solve the problem at hand.
"Although there is no way to find him, we can design a way to lure him out."
Jin Haoming spoke again.
Cui Tianzhi hurriedly answered: "The Holy One is wise."
He didn't know what method the emperor planned to use to lure out the young man, but at this time, it would definitely not be wrong to flatter him first.
However, Xia Houjun asked a little ignorantly: "Your Majesty, how should we lure him out?"
Jin Haoming didn't take his behavior seriously, but said directly: "There is only one way now, to go to war with Nanzhao."
Hearing this, Cui Tianzhi and Xia Houjun were both stunned.
They never expected that the emperor would actually declare war on Nanzhao.
Now there is no evidence to prove that it was people from Nanzhao who gave the three of them the head-lowering technique.
Jin Haoming saw their doubts and took the initiative to explain: "The Shangguan family is also investigating the head-lowering technique, so as long as they declare war on Nanzhao, the Shangguan family will believe that Nanzhao is responsible from the beginning to the end.
"
"Also, now that the matter has reached this point, it can only be resolved by declaring war on Nanzhao."
"As long as we declare war on Nanzhao, the people of the Jin Kingdom will know that everything is Nanzhao's fault. The royal family and the Shangguan family were just separated by Nanzhao."
"In this way, both the royal family and the Shangguan family will have one step down."
After hearing this, both Cui Tianzhi and Xia Houjun understood that the emperor wanted to deflect the conflict to others.
Thinking about it carefully, as long as there is a war with the Nanzhao Kingdom, the Shangguan family will have a chance to fall.
At that time, the deaths of Shangguan Boming, Shangguan Boshi and others can be blamed on Nanzhao.
Other families in Dajin would not feel that the emperor was suppressing the Shangguan family, nor would they feel that the Shangguan family had suffered a great loss and still tolerated it.
This is indeed the most perfect solution at the moment.
While Cui Tianzhi and Xia Hou were thinking, Jin Haoming spoke again: "One more thing, the person who performed the head-dropping technique on us must have been observing us secretly."
"I want to see what he will do if our Kingdom of Jin and Nanzhao declare war."
Upon hearing this, Cui Tianzhi hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, could it be that the Northern Ming Kingdom is deliberately causing trouble and prompting us to fight with the Nanzhao Kingdom?"
"Even if it is, so what?" Jin Haoming looked at Cui Tianzhi and said, "The situation is unclear now. This is the only choice."
What Jin Haoming didn't say was that he felt that the person who lowered his head to the three of them was neither from Nanzhao nor Beiming.
Because strong people with that kind of ability cannot be from these two countries, nor can they be from other countries.
If so, then the country where this person lives can easily destroy other countries and unify the entire world.
Why make it so complicated?
It was precisely because of these thoughts that he decided to go to war with Nanzhao to see what that person would do.
After all, if you don't do anything now, you can only sit back and wait for death.
Of course, what Jin Haoming didn't know was that all this was expected by Lin Yu.
Now, the world is finally about to undergo earth-shaking changes.
