Ji Haodian's trap was not only aimed at the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also warned the Jianghu sects, telling them not to stretch their hands too long.
The faces of those from the Jianghu Sect were also dark. They were also fooled this time.
Some of these princes have already been in contact with them a few years ago, and until now, a lot of resources, manpower and material resources have been invested.
But it turned out that everything was just a trap. Ji Haodian had no intention of handing over the position of crown prince. This made their plan come to nothing and they lost a lot.
Those people from the martial arts sect looked at each other, turned around and left angrily, and there was no need to listen any more.
Fortunately, the Shaolin Temple left early, otherwise the monks in the Shaolin Temple would have been very angry when they heard all this.
After the people from the martial arts sect left, Ji Haodian looked at the five princes coldly, his expressions so cold that they immediately felt like they had fallen into an ice cave.
Ji Haodian said in a deep voice: "I declare a decree to summon the king of Qi, the king of Shu, the king of Wu and other princes to the capital to accompany me."
Everyone present suddenly took a breath of cold air, but Ji Yancheng and the other five princes' vision went dark and they almost fainted to the ground.
Ji Haodian was not prepared to let them compete for the position of crown prince, but at the same time, Ji Haodian was not prepared to directly give the position of crown prince to them.
There were more than ten princes in the Zhou Dynasty, and the five of them were the most powerful.
Because of their lack of strength, the other princes had long since been kicked to their respective fiefdoms to become idle princes, and they only had two or three warriors at the God Transformation Realm under their command.
Even for someone like Ji Yanxiu who was in a miserable situation, before Su Xin didn't help him, the only warrior he had at the Divine Transformation Realm was his personal eunuch Wen Yu.
But now they have been tricked by Ji Haodian, and their people are dead and scattered, especially people like Ji Yancheng who have the support of the Duke of Zhou behind him. After this incident, even his grandfather Zheng Guogong did not dare to
I support him because it is a taboo!
As a result, their power was almost completely destroyed, and they were even inferior to those princes who were princes in various places in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At least they can recruit some casual warriors locally or get the support of some small sects. It is normal to have one or two warriors of the God Transformation Realm around them, who are at least stronger than their current strength.
The battle between the princes has directly evolved from the five of them to everyone. The five who originally had the greatest chances have become the five with the weakest strength. This has to be said to be a kind of irony.
Regardless of Ji Yancheng and others who were still kneeling there, Ji Haodian directly asked Tang Xianbao to drive back to the palace.
Others also dispersed, but what happened today was too shocking. They all had to digest it and renegotiate what role they should play in the next battle for the crown prince. At least they would support those princes as blatantly as they do now.
It's not possible.
Su Xin's words are correct. He is a minister of Zhou Dynasty and is only loyal to His Majesty.
Now you are holding the salary of Dazhou, but in the end you are going to support those princes, even if they are my own sons, that won't work.
This is obviously taboo, so even if these princes try to woo them again in the future, they will not agree.
But in this trap, because it was so shocking, few people noticed Su Xin's role in it.
Why did Su Xin want to seize the Human Emperor Sword in the end? Is it really a coincidence that he handed the Human Emperor Sword directly to Ji Haodian?
At least some people didn't believe it. The senior officials of Dazhou saw that something was wrong, but they didn't say anything.
If this matter was arranged by Ji Haodian, then Su Xin would not be able to refuse, and they would not inquire about it, not even Tie Zhan.
After everyone left, Su Xin waited for a while, and then he was about to leave when everyone was almost gone. At this time, a young eunuch came to Su Xin and said softly: "Master Su, your Majesty, please come over here."
."
Su Xin nodded and said, "Please, father-in-law, lead the way."
The young eunuch said quickly: "Master Su, you're welcome. Please come with me."
With that said, the little eunuch led Su Xin deep into the palace.
In a side hall, Su Xin met Ji Haodian again. Tang Xian was the only one beside him, but there must be other royal masters guarding him secretly.
At this time, Ji Haodian no longer had the decisive and domineering attitude he had when he scolded the princes in the square, but instead showed a hint of exhaustion.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to be really unable to hold on any longer.
To be honest, Su Xin quite admired Ji Haodian, Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who single-handedly dominated the Central Plains in just over ten years.
Before Ji Haodian, Dazhou was just a southern barbarian with a bad pronunciation. At that time, the emperor of Dazhou did not even dare to call him "emperor", he only dared to call him "king".
At that time, Shonan and other places were also desolate, let alone cities, with only a few aborigines.
The Great Zhou Dynasty began to be founded at that time. After more than two hundred years of development, it was only to make southern Hunan suitable for ordinary people to live. At that time, all the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty combined was even less than that of a single person.
The first-rate forces are not much stronger.
It can be said that the former emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty basically left little wealth for Ji Haodian, but he was holding a bad hand. In the turbulent era at the end of the Great Jin Dynasty, he suddenly emerged, destroyed the Great Jin Dynasty, and became the great empire that now dominates the Central Plains.
Zhou, it is not a disadvantage to say that he is the hero of the party.
But it is a pity that no matter how great the rights are, they must be enjoyed for a long time.
Although Ji Haodian is not proficient in martial arts, Dazhou has so many miraculous elixirs and various martial arts books. Even if he only spends a little time practicing, it will be enough for him to reach the innate realm. By then, it will be enough for him to have a life span of nearly two hundred years.
enough.
However, looking at the appearance of the Human Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the assassination that year had damaged his fundamental vitality, so that the Human Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not even swallow the elixir to survive.
These thoughts just flashed through Su Xin's mind. Su Xin bowed respectfully to Ji Haodian and said, "I see your Majesty."
Ji Haodian looked at Su Xin, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Su Xin, you completed the task well this time, the Tie family did not misjudge the person this time.
Your strength and skills are considered to be the best among the entire young generation of the Six Gates, even those who have been carefully trained by the Tie family are still behind you."
Su Xin said quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."
Others may not understand what Ji Haodian's mission is, but the three people present all know it.
The last time Ji Haodian announced that he would fight for the crown prince's position in the Kunlun Secret Realm, Su Xin went to court with Tie Zhan. After they went to court, Ji Haodian sent someone to give him a note, which clearly said "Let's go to court".
Su Xin snatched the Human Emperor Sword at the critical moment and finally handed it to him.
Although there was only such an instruction, Su Xin thought of Ji Haodian's character and the cause and effect of the matter, and almost guessed the truth of the matter.
This Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was definitely more decisive and ruthless than many people imagined.
However, these have nothing to do with Su Xin. The task Ji Haodian gave him just gave Su Xin another excuse to steal the Human Emperor Sword.
After all, if the Human Emperor Sword had not fallen into the hands of the Shaolin Temple at that time, it would have been difficult for Su Xin to find an excuse.
After all, Su Xin had previously stated that he was neutral and would not participate in the previous battles between the crown princes. However, you went to steal the Human Emperor Sword again, which could easily arouse others' suspicion.
But now in the eyes of ordinary warriors, Su Xin snatched the Human Emperor Sword in order to take revenge on the Shaolin Temple.
In the eyes of Tie Zhan and other senior officials in the imperial court, Su Xin must have done so under Ji Haodian's orders, so there was nothing suspicious about Su Xin grabbing the sword.
Moreover, Su Xin also suspected that among these princes there must be people planted by Ji Haodian.
He, Su Xin, was indeed the strongest among the six sects of divine transformation warriors, but it was impossible for Ji Haodian to put all his confidence in Su Xin.
Therefore, there might be more than one of Ji Haodian's people around these princes. If Su Xin didn't grab the Human Emperor Sword, they would directly grab it.
Ji Haodian coughed and said: "Help me do things, I won't treat you badly. Tell me, what do you want?"
Su Xin bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Whatever your Majesty gives me, I will ask for."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Haodian and Tang Xian were stunned for a moment.
Ji Haodian's eyes showed a smile, and Tang Xian also admired Su Xinke very much.
After serving Ji Haodian all his life, he finally understood his character and was able to avoid making any mistakes in front of Ji Haodian.
And considering that this was only the third time Su Xin met Ji Haodian, it was quite difficult for him to firmly grasp Ji Haodian's heart and say these words.
Ji Haodian is quite strong and domineering. For this kind of person, he can reward you with anything, but you can't control what he wants.
A reward is a reward, and a request is a request. Although the results of both are the same, their nature is completely different.
Just like his throne, although he knew that the throne would definitely be handed over to Ji Yancheng and the others soon, and the stronger the princes were and the higher their methods were, it proved that they would be able to govern the Zhou Dynasty better in the future, but Ji Yancheng
Haodian did not tolerate them provoking his majesty in this way.
He would rather let more than a dozen other princes with mediocre qualifications and weak strength compete for the crown prince's position, rather than let Ji Yancheng and others take the crown prince's position from him through fighting.
Because of this, Su Xin, who understood Ji Haodian's character, said these words to Ji Haodian.
As a minister, as long as it is something given by His Majesty, no matter how small it is, the minister must be grateful.
Regardless of whether Su Xin's words were true or false, at least his attitude was sincere enough, and Ji Haodian was immediately delighted. (To be continued.) 8
