304: Conspiracy artifact, imperial power and official power
However, there is no point in worrying about this now, because others have already successfully done it.
What aroused Zuo Chongming's interest was that this group of furry foxes were deliberately and painstakingly playing this kind of infernal affairs. What was their purpose?
Combining the memories of his previous life, he finally came to only one conclusion - the artifact of the Wu Dynasty.
In the previous life, the Wu Dynasty fell apart and the artifact was missing.
But not long after, the Qingqiu Fox Clan entered the world and supported one of the princes of the Wu Dynasty to establish the dynasty and the country.
In return, after the prince proclaimed himself emperor, he made the Qingqiu Fox Clan the state religion...
At this point, the strength of the Qingqiu Fox Clan increased rapidly, and later even annexed the Tushan Clan of the same clan.
In the past life, countless players were wondering. In terms of bloodline, the Fox clan was not that awesome. Why did it suddenly become so hot and spicy?
Thinking about it now, Zuo Chongming couldn't help but suspect that these furry foxes might have obtained the artifacts of the Wu Dynasty, so they were unreasonably strong.
But that's it.
In this life, due to Zuo Chongming's various twists and turns, the changes in the court were particularly obvious.
This undercover fox demon is one of those affected.
If Zuo Chongming guessed correctly, she was left to take the blame.
The story must be told from the beginning.
This half-demon is quite powerful, equivalent to the astrological realm of a warrior.
The aristocratic clans did not dare to accept such a powerful half-demon because they were afraid that Emperor Wu would hold him accountable. The Wulin sect would not accept him because Qingqiu would come to ask for him at any time.
Coupled with the strange look in the fox demon's eyes, Zuo Chongming can be sure that there is only one agency that takes her in - the inner guard!
Many people don't know that in addition to the Zhenfu Division, Emperor Wu also has a sharp sword hidden in the dark. This organization is the Internal Guard.
At first, Zuo Chongming really believed that the fox demon was sent by the emperor to get rid of him.
But the fox demon shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't, give out 30,000 yuan of stone as reward.
Zuo Chongming himself is a member of the public family. How can he understand the court's procedures?
Instead of paying such a large sum of money and engaging in so many conspiracies, Emperor Wu might as well just send a few Dharma Realm giants to take a look.
Therefore, there must be something fishy about this fox demon.
The reason why Zuo Chongming felt that the fox demon was thrown out to take the blame is easy to guess.
If Emperor Wu was in good health, he would never send his internal guards to attack him. The risk would be too great.
From this we can conclude that Emperor Wu was dying and could not care so much. He only hoped to remove this stumbling block for the new emperor before he died.
According to the procedure, Emperor Wu will definitely leave this matter to the commander of the inner guard.
But the inner guard is not a fool. Now everyone in the world knows that Zuo Chongming's house is protected by the Dharma Realm Bald Donkey from the Far West.
Internal guards are also human beings, and they do not want to die. The higher the status, the less they want to die.
If Emperor Wu was healthy, they would have no choice but to find a way, but now Emperor Wu is no longer able...
Naturally, the inner guard who received the order came up with a little thought, so he left the matter to his subordinate, the half-demon fox.
If the fox is lucky enough to succeed, then everything will be fine.
If the fox fails miserably, the boss will be at worst hiring someone poorly.
Although this crime is not a light one, they are all masters of the astrological realm and the Dharma realm, so they will not be punished to death no matter what.
As long as they wait until Emperor Wu dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, they will use their personal connections to get pardon easily.
The fox demon has been undercover for so many years, so his IQ must be good. She also knows that the boss deliberately passed the blame and let her die.
But she doesn't want to die either.
Ever since, she found her true supporter - the Qingqiu Fox Clan.
The foxes in Qingqiu received a call for help and responded quickly. After all, it is not easy to plant spies in the imperial court, not to mention that hope is right in front of them.
Then, the next thing happened.
The fox demon first killed Gui Yibo's brother, and then bribed the Liansheng Sect with money to help prepare for the final assassination...
etc!!
Zuo Chongming frowned slightly and suddenly remembered something.
——The fox demon invited Ji Changyun this time, using the identity of the 'mysterious man' last time!
This is not right.
Because Zuo Chongming has found out that the mysterious person who concealed his identity last time to provide supplies to the Liansheng Sect was actually a member of Prime Minister Wei Tao.
And this time the fox demon is obviously a member of the cabinet, so how could he be related to Wei Tao?
Thinking of this, Zuo Chongming said in a deep voice: "Lao Jiang, go ask Chen Tianlong if there is any recent information from the capital."
Chen Tianlong and his Tianlong Guild have gradually become Zuo Chongming's intelligence channel.
After all, players’ information convenience is unparalleled, and it would be a pity not to take advantage of it.
Every once in a while, the players Chen Tianlong placed in the capital would send back information so that Zuo Chongming could grasp the direction of the capital.
"yes."
Jiang Fenglong was full of doubts, but he left here without asking any more questions.
In only half an hour, he returned with a stack of secret letters and a stack of shadow stones.
Jiang Fenglong said respectfully: "Master Hou, they are all here."
"Um."
Zuo Chongming opened the secret letter and quickly classified it, picking out all the ones related to Prime Minister Wei Tao.
Sure enough, he quickly found what he wanted from a photographic stone.
——The seventh prince personally visited Wei Tao on the pretext of clearing up doubts.
"Seventh Prince."
Zuo Chongming tapped his fingertips and thought to himself: "The Qingqiu Fox Clan supported this seventh prince in the previous life. It seems that they have been in contact with each other for a long time."
After the fox demon asked for help, the Qingqiu Fox Clan asked her to contact the Seventh Prince.
Then, the Seventh Prince should want to use the matter of 'getting rid of Zuo Chongming' to win over the support of the Prime Minister's faction.
Wei Tao absolutely hated Zuo Chongming so much that he never ran away. After all, Zuo Chongming made his only son a fool.
As soon as the two sides gathered together, Wei Tao handed over the contact information of the Liansheng Sect to the Seventh Prince.
The seventh prince handed it over to the fox demon, who then gave it to the Qingqiu Fox Clan. After some planning, they made a plan to attack and kill him.
Zuo Chongming touched his chin and cursed: "The noble person mentioned by the dare to love the fox demon is not the Qingqiu Fox Clan, but the new master, the Seventh Prince."
"The seventh prince is currently averagely competitive, but if he really kills me, gets the support of the prime minister, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan secretly exerts force..."
It is a pity that whether it is the Qingqiu Fox Clan's plan, the Seventh Prince's ambition, or the Prime Minister Wei Tao's desire for revenge, they are destined to fail.
Because no one would have thought that Zuo Chongming and Ji Changyun were actually the same person.
"Tsk~!"
Zuo Chongming took a sip of tea and asked abruptly: "Lao Jiang, do you think fighting for the heir apparent is... fun?"
"Eh?"
Jiang Fenglong trembled with fright, and his eyes almost popped out: "Fighting for the heirloom? You, you..."
Zuo Chongming narrowed his eyes and said: "After a while, we may have to go to Beijing."
"Going to Beijing? Do you want to..."
When Jiang Fenglong thought of the previous sentence, his mind suddenly became numb.
"what are you thinking?"
Zuo Chongming glanced at him and laughed dumbly: "How dare you think about it? Do you know how deep the water in the capital is?"
"Emperor Wu has two swords in his hands. The sword on the surface is called Zhenfusi, and the sword secretly is called Cabinet."
"In addition, there are six guards in the capital, including the Yulin Guards, the Golden Scale Guards, and the Wandering Dragon Guards, as well as twelve imperial troops... This is just the power of Emperor Wu."
"You also have to know that the families and clans of the officials in the court...their combined power is enough to compete with Emperor Wu."
"Uh, uh..."
Jiang Fenglong stayed where he was, with his mouth half-opened in a daze, and beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
He always knew that the imperial court was very strong, otherwise it would be impossible to rule the world and dominate the country.
But he never imagined, let alone imagined... that the power of the imperial court would be so terrifying.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the power of the imperial court is activated, it will be enough to crush all the so-called bullshit sects and families in the martial arts world.
Gulu~!
Jiang Fenglong swallowed hard: "This, this is the reason why sects in the world dare not go to war rashly?"
"That's right."
Zuo Chongming smiled lightly and said: "Have you ever heard of a saying - there are as many masters in the world as stars, and 30% of them stay in Beijing."
"Of course there are so many masters gathered there, not just sitting around and discussing things. It's entirely because of the mutual constraints between imperial power and official power."
"All the forces in the world know this, so they only dare to scream but don't dare to move. Everyone is afraid of this force uniting."
Jiang Fenglong thought hard for a long time and asked unclearly: "Master Hou, since the capital is so dangerous, why do we need to go..."
"You do not understand."
Zuo Chongming shook his head and said quietly: "It's not that I want to go, but that I have to go."
If his prediction is correct, he will wait until the news of the failed attack reaches the capital.
Emperor Wu, whose time is running out, will definitely find an excuse that he cannot refuse and forcefully recall him to the capital.
By then, I'm afraid...
Jiang Fenglong smacked his lips and decisively cut off the topic.
With a slight cough, he advised: "Master Marquis, the princess must have been waiting impatiently. You'd better go and have a meal quickly."
"Let's go."
Zuo Chongming raised his chin.
In fact, he didn't lie. He was indeed not interested in the throne.
Now that he is managing a Xiyun Mansion, he can still take some time off from his busy schedule.
The territory under the emperor's control is a hundred times or even larger than that of Xiyun Mansion. Every day, he handles hundreds of memorials from all over the country...
To put it bluntly, I am afraid that when the emperor was having sex, he was thinking about family and state affairs.
This kind of day-to-day, strictly regulated, and terrifying position of Emperor 007, whoever wants to sit in the position of Emperor 007, Zuo Chongming will not sit down until he kills him.
PS: What is that?
In January, I'm going to close the house.
Some time ago, several more pieces of land were sold.
It just so happened that, taking advantage of the two-day exemption, I took a quick trip to settle the loan in advance and complete the pledge procedures.
By the way, the house is almost ready to be renovated, so I have to go buy furniture...
Moreover, due to the recent outbreak of the epidemic, I had to take the train to avoid being quarantined.
So when it comes to updates, I can only say that I will do my best.
I hope everyone will understand.
Talk.
I didn’t force you to reward me, nor did I force you to vote?
Don’t force me to update either….
Hey, in this case, wouldn’t we be even?
Right.
I'm a fucking genius.
Quack quack!!!
By the way, let me say one more thing here, just wait for the release of Little Tina and wait for the release of OW2.
