It was the same meeting as before, everyone took their seats, ready to continue the discussion.
But this time the atmosphere was much more tense than yesterday.
The eldest prince was bitten by a dog yesterday and beaten by Jiang Li. Now he is lying in bed and suffering from the calamity. He has to rely on crutches to get out of bed and walk.
This was a good thing for those who supported the second prince. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Just last night, the second prince was seriously injured. He was assassinated with impunity. Although he did not die, his body was still alive. He was wounded by a sword, and the evil qi of the five turbidities was poured into his body, causing his vitality to be severely damaged.
Now the second prince's injury is a few points or two more serious than that of the eldest prince. At least the eldest prince can still walk with crutches, while the second prince can only lie down.
From the situation point of view, it was just the same thing, brothers and sisters lying together, but looking at both sides, one side was slightly happy, and the other side was serious and abnormal.
Naturally, the people below Meng Jun were the ones who were happy.
They were first anxious because the eldest prince was bitten by a dog, and then they heard that the second prince was seriously injured, but they diluted their anxiety and felt a sense of schadenfreude at this moment.
On the other hand, there was a cold look in the eyes, and there was suspicion hidden in the eyes looking at the other side. This was doubt whether the impunity had something to do with the other party.
The atmosphere immediately turned sinister.
However, it was not the ministers and princes sitting on the left and right who were the first to attack, but King You on the main seat.
"Last night, the second prince was assassinated at Princess Huayang's mansion. The judge and the soul seducer from the Yin Law Department happened to be nearby, so they followed the assassin's traces and chased him. This pursuit led them to the imperial city."
King You said unhurriedly, and the dark wind gradually rose in the palace, "Judge Cui Jue asked the magistrate for help in predicting the assassin, but accidentally the divination happened to Jiang's son, and he was retaliated against. When he saw him alone, he was already dying. , he almost lost his mind. Mr. Gongsun, can you give me an explanation?"
The conversation was directed at Tianxuan, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
"I also want Yin Lusi to give me an explanation," Tianxuan sat up straight and said slowly and calmly, "Cui Jue framed me and wanted to taint the innocence of my apprentice. Li Bi, the seducer of Yin Lusi, is not angry with his bad behavior. He turned from darkness to light and exposed Cui Jue. After hearing about such evil deeds, I took action to punish him, which is what I should do."
Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Expose?
Even King You, a ghost cultivator, felt like his blood pressure was high.
Cui Jue was seriously injured and Niu Tou was detained. King You thought that Jiang Li and Tianxuan would torture him, but Niu Tou didn't know much. Even if Niu Tou was tortured, there wouldn't be much important information. It can even be said that this information was obtained through torture. Not worthy of trust.
Anyway, there are ways to pull it off.
Even King You didn't expect that Niu Tou would accept the offer and bow down, so he voted directly.
Subjugation becomes a move? It doesn't exist.
Not following the rules and attacking harshly? People knew about Cui Jue's evil deeds, and they punished him just as they had done before. There was no blame at all.
"In addition, I have also noticed that the five turbid evil odors in Yuhua Palace are a little stronger than in other places. I think it is because the emperor moved away and the imperial city lost its imperial power." Tianxuan said again as if inadvertently.
Word.
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the atmosphere in the palace changed from sinister to murderous, like a battlefield.
Nowadays, everyone knows the method practiced by the lawless people. The method of controlling the evil energy of the five turbidities can hardly help but remind people of the Daode Sect's Nine Heavens Demonic Art, but the most important thing now is to find the lawless people to take action.
reason.
But now, there seems to be a reason.
"If you kill your brothers and sisters, how can they have the dignity to ascend to the top of the world and rule the world?" Princess Huayang's father-in-law, the head of the Wang family, said coldly.
"How dare you slander the prince?" someone immediately responded.
"The evidence of the crime is conclusive, so there is no need to talk about slander!"
"Despicable villain, you have already slandered the head of the Gongsun family, who knows if he will do it again!"
This is a point of counterattack now.
The exchanges between the two sides gradually turned into words and curses, and then became angry. If the three leaders were not still watching, they might have taken action at this moment.
King You also faced Meng Jun, the head of the Meng family, from a distance because of the opposition between the two parties. Although there was no confrontation of energy and momentum, each of them could see the opposite.
Chaos arose.
The conflict between the two parties has become increasingly difficult to restrain as time goes on. Now the serious injuries of the eldest prince and the second prince are like a fuse, detonating the conflict in advance.
This time, there is no doubt that the discussion did not come to a result. On the contrary, the conflict became more confrontational. Even though King You and the Meng family leader were still restraining themselves, the others could no longer hold back.
This cannot be restrained by reason.
Now the two princes are lying down, both of them are at a disadvantage. If you retreat, the other side will advance, and they may have to attack to push you up.
Therefore, you cannot retreat. If you retreat, you will lose. If you want to retreat, you must wait until the opponent retreats first.
The quarrel lasted until noon, and the scolding war temporarily came to an end. But looking at the situation, after leaving the imperial city, it was not just a scolding war, but it was about to become serious.
King You walked out of the palace and saw the growing hostility at a glance, which also gave him a headache.
'Tianxuan is deliberately muddying the waters, and the eldest princess is also sitting back and watching the fight between the two parties. Is there any other candidate for the two of them? Who is it? The third prince? The fifth prince?'
Although the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, he does not have the desires of mortals. He favors concubines only for reproduction and does not have many heirs.
The eldest prince and the second prince were already the most capable among these heirs, and it was difficult for the others to compete with them. The only fourth prince, who was secretive, was killed by a certain royal family nemesis.
No matter how you think about it, it is not easy for the other princes to enter.
"Yama."
At this time, a shadow appeared behind King You, and in the faint Yin Qi, a burly figure wearing a red robe could be seen.
"How is Cui Jue's situation?" King You asked.
"The one whose finger was hit, the Yin Qi refined the soul, and now he can't even enter the underworld. The Yin Qi down there is too strong, which will actually aggravate his injuries. He is currently recovering from his injuries in a private house in the inner city." The man whispered. replied.
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise." King You sighed softly.
It's not enough to be seriously injured, but you need to be tortured even more. You are really very petty, don't you just want to attack your apprentice?
It's not like we're trying to kill him, we're just suppressing him temporarily.
"Take Gu Gu to see Cui Jue," King You said.
The two figures gradually turned into reality and slowly disappeared.
On the other side, Tianxuan and Ji Lingguang were still left in the empty Qianyang Hall.
"Now I want to let the Taiping Religion revolt as soon as possible, otherwise the court will be in chaos first." Ji Lingguang sighed.
"Soon."
Tianxuan sensed King You's departure and said softly: "The Book of Life and Death is a murder weapon against lower fourth-level practitioners and ordinary people. Now that Cui Jue is seriously injured, there will be movement in the Taiping Sect sooner or later. If Cui Jue dies, the Taiping Sect will When the government rises, it will be a moment of internal stability."
"The imperial court does not pay enough attention to the Taiping Religion. King You and other aristocratic families have not yet realized the harm of the Taiping Religion, or perhaps there are people who support the Taiping Religion among them. If this continues, by the time the Taiping Religion rises up, all parties in the court will have already fought for it. I am exhausted. I will not let the situation come to this point."
"Cui Jue can die, but his Dao Fruit must not fall into the hands of the Taiping Sect." Ji Lingguang said.
"Cui Jue's Dao Fruit will naturally be in our hands." Tianxuan said lightly.
She deliberately tortured Cui Jue, not because he was trying to frame Jiang Li... at least not entirely, but because she wanted to use Cui Jue to fish.
Fish out hidden people from the Taiping Sect and other forces.
