Tie Zhan summoned him for an urgent matter, so Su Xin directly said hello to the people in the underworld and returned to Shengjing City.
After Su Xin entered the city, he didn't find anything wrong. No one at Six Gates was imposing security in the city. Everything was as usual.
After Su Xin returned to Liumen Headquarters, he asked Huang Bingcheng and Qi Long. Even they didn't know what the reason was. Only Huang Bingcheng whispered: "Sir, the only unusual thing happened recently.
The imperial court once brought a group of people into the palace, but even I didn’t know the origins of those people, and the six doors directly blocked the news."
Huang Bingcheng and Qi Long are both Su Xin's confidants, especially Qi Long, who is also the chief catcher of Shengjing City and can be considered a high-ranking member of the Six Gates. As a result, even he doesn't know the origins of these people. They are obviously from the imperial court.
They deliberately concealed it there.
Su Xin didn't bother to inquire more, but went directly to Tie Zhan's house.
"Master Tie, what happened in the court?" Su Xin came in and asked.
Tie Zhan was not dealing with official duties at this time, but was rubbing his head with a headache.
Seeing Su Xin come in, he relaxed his brows and said, "There is a big event, but I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."
Su Xin sat down and asked Tie Zhan across from him: "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?"
Tie Zhan nodded and said: "Those white jade slabs you found have been deciphered by the secrets of the tantric sect and the court's array masters, and they can indeed make the soul of the warrior immortal.
But this condition is rather harsh, and it may be difficult for Your Majesty to use the things on this white jade slab to extend his life."
There was a hint of surprise on Su Xin's face, but in fact, his heart was calm.
He already knew the secret of this white jade slab. It was said to be eternal life, but in fact it was just an alternative method of cultivating the soul.
But even if you want to practice Yuan Shen, you must have the foundation. If the power of Yuan Shen is not strong, then you are not qualified to practice the method on the white jade stone slab.
Looking at the current situation in the entire world, there are only a handful of people in the Yangshen realm who meet the cultivation requirements on the white jade stone slab, except for the strong ones in the Zhenwu realm.
Moreover, King Chakravartin also said that the things on this white jade stone slab are just fragments of existence. Even if you practice hard, you can only cultivate into the appearance of the mummies in the Nine Layers Sword Pavilion. They are neither humans nor ghosts.
After learning the secret on the white jade slab, he knew that it would be impossible for Ji Haodian to rely on this thing to extend his life.
Su Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? So your Majesty is ready to give up?"
Tie Zhan frowned and said, "It would be a good thing if His Majesty gives up, but the problem is that this is His Majesty's last chance, and he doesn't want to give up.
A few days ago, a spirit master in the Royal Enshrinement Hall suggested that someone could help His Majesty create a soul so that he could become a master of soul and practice the method on the white jade stone slab.
So during this time, His Majesty also quickly summoned those people to Beijing, and asked the six gates and the military to call back their strong men to discuss matters."
Su Xin thought of what Huang Bingcheng had told him before, that Ji Haodian had summoned some strange people to Beijing. It seemed that this should be that group of people.
Su Xin played with the teacup in his hand and said, "It's also a troublesome thing."
Tie Zhan also nodded and said: "It is indeed a troublesome matter. If your Majesty really cultivates this mysterious method, it will not be a good thing for Da Zhou."
Su Xin was considered a member of the Tie family, so Tie Zhan had nothing to hide from him and just said what was on his mind.
In fact, not only Tie Zhan, but even other strong men in the Great Zhou thought the same way.
They are really loyal to Da Zhou and not to you Ji Haodian.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has risen in your hands, Ji Haodian. If you are capable, then we will be loyal to you.
Even though Ji Haodian is basically a useless person now, none of the powerful people in Dazhou really want to seek the throne and usurp the throne, and they secretly collude in series to carry out small actions. The reason is very simple, because this will only bring down the entire Dazhou.
There are strong men in the True Martial Realm in Da Zhou, and there are more than one, but these strong men are all about the same strength, and others will be dissatisfied with whoever takes charge of Da Zhou.
Moreover, when they reach the True Martial Realm, these people don’t have much time to fight for power and manage some miscellaneous things. Just like the Shaolin Temple and the Taoist Sect of Creation, the nominal headmaster and abbot are both strong men in the True Martial Realm, but in fact they manage
There is someone else.
The same is true now in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The six most powerful forces, including the Six Gates, the military, the Royal Enshrinement Hall, and the royal family surnamed Ji, have joined forces to form an alliance like the Great Zhou Dynasty. Ji Haodian is the leader of the alliance and can regulate the forces of all parties.
Contradictions allowed the Zhou Dynasty to continue to be strong.
It can be said that as long as Ji Haodian shows the abilities that an emperor should have, other powerful men in the Great Zhou Dynasty will continue to be loyal to him.
Now the Great Zhou Dynasty is not the former Great Jin Dynasty. Those strong men are all ministers trained by the Great Jin Dynasty since they were young, so they are somewhat loyal to the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. They only know how to execute the orders of the foolish emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.
The current Great Zhou Dynasty is just a combination of interests. It is precisely because of Ji Haodian's ability that he can firmly sit on the throne of the Human Emperor.
If he is fatuous, then the strong men of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not mind changing to another emperor, especially the royal family with the surname Ji. Although they are not qualified to inherit the throne, they still have a great say in the change of the throne.
Logically speaking, if Ji Haodian continues to sit on the throne of the Human Emperor, it should be beneficial to all the forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in fact, this is not the case. If Ji Haodian really does this, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos within a hundred years.
Don't forget that Ji Haodian still has so many heirs. If he still stays in this position for more than a hundred years, what will happen to his heirs? Even when they die of old age, they still have not waited for this position. The rest of them have not yet reached this position.
Can you be willing?
Unless Ji Haodian can kill all his descendants with ruthless actions, sects like the White Lotus Sect in the world would be very happy to see this.
The civil strife in the imperial court is the time for them to take action. By then, they can save one or several princes and directly split the Zhou Dynasty.
For people in Jianghu, a strong court is far less reassuring than a divided court.
Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been trying to avoid this over the years. The last time Ji Haodian abolished the prince and others, he also allowed other princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty to come to Beijing to compete for the position of crown prince. This was also to prevent these princes from despairing.
Start doing things next time.
This is common sense. In fact, if you look at the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty after the Human Emperor, you will know that there are basically few who lived long.
Even if you are practicing martial arts, you will not be able to reach the state of transformation by relying solely on pills. Moreover, once you start to concentrate on martial arts and ignore state affairs, it is inevitable that the princes of the royal family or even your own sons will start to make small moves in secret.
Don’t you like to practice martial arts? Well, give up your seat to me, and you can practice peacefully.
There are many such things in history, and Ji Haodian did it brilliantly. When Zhou Dynasty was still a small southern barbarian country, he slaughtered all his brothers who were qualified to inherit the throne. But now that he wants to occupy the throne for the rest of his life, Then don't blame his sons for having other ideas.
Su Xin wondered: "Is there no one in charge of other forces in the imperial court? Your Majesty is so willful, which is not a good thing for the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Tie Zhan shook his head and said: "It's not the end yet, so no one will stand up and speak. Your Majesty, after all, your Majesty, as a minister, it is very inappropriate to stand up and oppose now. Don't think that there will be differences between the several forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is no contradiction.
Our Six Gates are relatively close to the military, while the Royal Enshrinement Hall is very close to the royal family surnamed Ji.
Among these forces, there are naturally many people in the royal family surnamed Ji who want to side with His Majesty. Even though they are collateral members, they are still surnamed Ji, and we are always outsiders.
Take it one step at a time. Your Majesty is not an idiot. He should know that except for the ancient human emperors of the past, it is impossible for an emperor to sit on the throne for hundreds of years to appear again in this world.
He can live forever if he wants, but he must abdicate when the time comes. With the current foundation of the Zhou Dynasty, there is no room for another great chaos."
After hearing Tie Zhan's words, Su Xin couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. Based on his understanding of His Majesty, it would be extremely difficult for him to abdicate voluntarily.
His Majesty's desire for power can be said to be beyond everyone's imagination. So what if the prince, the king of Thailand and others were his sons? They were not easily deposed by him.
Although it is said that tigers cannot eat their own children, Su Xin has no doubt that His Majesty is really capable of killing all his own children in order to preserve his own power.
At this time Tie Zhan stood up and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Anyway, it is still unknown whether His Majesty can successfully practice the secret method on the white jade slab. After all, I have never heard of any martial arts in this world. Magical treasures can strengthen an ordinary person's mental power to the same level as a strong person in the Yangshen realm.
Get ready to leave and follow, His Majesty will summon us directly at noon, I will inform Liu Wuqian and Fang Jiuyuan first."
Su Xin nodded, turned around and left, thinking about this matter in his mind.
However, before Su Xin could think about it, Tie Zhan called Liu Wuqian and Fang Jiuyuan to wait in the palace together.
When everyone arrived at the main hall, the military personnel were already waiting here. They were still the mighty general Lin Zongyue and the general managers of the three armies, Long Hu, Hu Ben and Fei Xiong.
Su Xin waited for a moment, and the Supreme Master of Mahasthamaprapta came here with two tantric warriors from the Fusion of God Realm. When he saw everyone, he put his hands together and saluted them, and stood aside silently.
The last ones who followed Ji Haodian were Ji Xuanyuan from the royal family with the surname Ji, and a Yangshen realm warrior from the royal enshrinement hall. Judging from his dress, Su Xin vaguely thought he looked familiar. He should also be a famous figure in the world, but Su Xin was a little... Can't remember.
