A level-seven Golden Immortal had the status of a world. They lived as long as heaven and earth, rested together with the sun and moon, and traveled together with the origin.
At this point, they could almost represent the entire world, so the possibility of being bewitched was naturally very small.
However, Venerable Jue Tian was a local Golden Immortal, while Wu Ming was an outsider. If it was in the Golden Hall world, with his authority, Venerable Jue Tian would absolutely not have the slightest possibility of playing tricks. But in the Dazhou world, as long as Venerable Jue Tian was willing to pay the price, there was still hope to achieve this.
However, to cross the sea by deception, one needed to be concealed.
For people like Wu Ming, who had long been prejudiced, to see through the fog was just a matter of a thought.
"This is … Dragon Qi? Emperor Qi? It seems to be something from the previous dynasty. Once activated, it can disintegrate the Heavenly Demon? "
After carefully identifying it, the sneer on Wu Ming's mouth suddenly widened.
The Dazhou country had declined, and there was no way to save it. No matter how much Dragon Qi was given to the little emperor, in the end, it would be like accumulating firewood meeting fire, burning out in one day, leaving nothing behind.
Naturally, Venerable Jue Tian did this not to support the Dazhou country, but to create as much trouble as possible for Wu Zhi.
With this strong support, if Wu Zhi was really anxious to unify the world and directly went on a northern expedition, then it was really possible that he would suffer a great loss under the cooperation from inside and outside.
"Did you find anything, my husband?"
Wu Zhi blinked his eyes, showing a rare look of a little girl.
"Exi … you once told me that your wish is to pacify this chaotic world! Then now … are you willing to rule the world as the new emperor, or be criticized as a subject of the Dazhou? "
Wu Ming asked calmly.
In fact, he knew the answer without much guessing.
"The world's nineteen provinces, those who are capable … The Dazhou country has declined, and it has long been the time for the heavenly fate to replace it!"
Wu Zhi answered without hesitation.
"Then with your current achievements, territory, and army, it is enough for you to ascend the throne and become an emperor!"
There was a big difference between conquering the whole world and abdicating now and ascending the throne now.
At least from Wu Ming's point of view, the latter was definitely more justifiable than the former. It gave off the feeling of an entrepreneur who had overcome all obstacles, while the latter gave off an awkward feeling of stealing someone else's foundation.
"Ascend to the throne?"
Wu Zhi pursed his lips, and his expression looked a little resolute. "Have we finally reached this step?"
"Although there are only some traces, the royalists of the small court must be planning something bad. They are probably instigating the northern expedition and taking the opportunity to attack us!"
Wu Ming said casually, "In order to prevent this, it's better to destroy their foundations!"
The goal of these royalists was still to continue the dynasty of Dazhou, but what would happen after they deposed the emperor?
Naturally, they had become water without a source, a tree without roots. They did not even have the last bit of righteousness, so naturally, they would not be able to cause any more waves.
"Heh … A bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs still want to cause trouble!"
When Wu Zhi heard this, an undisguised killing intent appeared on his face.
Under the premise that she was not aware of these schemes, there was a chance that they would succeed, but now …
…
"Sir Zhang, Sir Li, General Wang … You are all here. Very good. You are indeed the loyal officials of Dazhou!"
In a hidden courtyard, Qian Zhong saw several officials and generals in civilian clothes coming. A smile appeared on his face, and then it immediately turned solemn. "I am under the order of the Emperor to crusade against the disobedient officials. I hope you can help me!"
To be honest, the small court of Dazhou was just something used by Wu Zhi to decorate the facade. The real ones who held the real power were the officials and generals in Prince Ding's household. There were very few people that Qian Zhong could pull over. Among them, the one who held the most real power was only a military officer of the four gates. To put it bluntly, he was just a gatekeeper …
Of course, the gate he guarded was the main gate of Dingzhou. There were also thousands of people under his command. At the critical moment, it was also a considerable force.
"Grand Tutor Qian, we admire your loyalty, but does His Majesty really want to deal with Prince Ding?"
A civil official asked worriedly. "Prince Ding has just conquered the south, and his prestige is rising. What we are doing is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot …"
"Silly! Prince Ding's prestige is rising. Where is His Majesty? "
Qian Zhong reprimanded without hesitation. "Wu Zhi is a traitor, and everyone has the right to punish him … I still have His Majesty's imperial edict here!"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of bright yellow cloth without hesitation. The dark brown words on it were unusually conspicuous.
"The imperial edict is here. Do you accept it or not?"
Qian Zhong raised the imperial edict high, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
He had long laid an ambush outside. If there were any half-hearted fence-sitters, he would immediately kill them without hesitation to serve as a warning to others.
"I accept the imperial edict!"
A bearded general looked at the imperial edict, especially the Emperor's private seal on it, and immediately knelt down without hesitation.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that this general was the first to surrender, the other civil officials immediately followed.
"Very good … Sir Wang was right about one thing just now. With our current strength, when Prince Ding's army retreats, we indeed can't do anything. Thus, we only need to do one thing now!"
Qian Zhong said in a hoarse voice, "Incite the officials and request for a northern expedition!"
With the suppression of the army, these people couldn't do anything. Their only chance was when Wu Zhi led the army out of Dingzhou.
"Luring the tiger away from the mountain? This is a wonderful plan! "
The general immediately said excitedly.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
"What are you doing … Ah!"
The sound of armor rang out, and a large number of soldiers rushed in. A servant, relying on his status, wanted to go forward to argue, but he was stabbed in the chest by a grinning elite soldier, and he immediately died.
Bang!
The door was rudely knocked open, and a general with a gloomy expression strode in. He swept his gaze over the faces of Qian Zhong and the others. "Good! Very good! Everyone is here! "
"How dare you! This is the Grand Tutor's presence. How can you be so rude?"
The most private matter of rebellion had been discovered. This was a great crime that could implicate the whole family. The civil officials immediately trembled in fear. Another one, hoping to get lucky, stepped out and scolded.
Pu!
However, before he finished speaking, a snow-white blade sank into his heart.
"By the order of King Ding, we are to capture the traitors. Those who disobey will be killed!"
The general shouted loudly, "Why don't you quickly surrender?"
"The matter has been leaked!"
Qian Zhong's hands and feet suddenly became cold, and he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.
At this time, he was most worried about not himself, but the Emperor deep in the palace. If his side was leaked and implicated, what would happen to the Emperor?
Thinking of this, determination immediately appeared in his eyes. His hands exerted force, and he was about to destroy the imperial edict.
"Hey!"
The general reacted quickly and kicked Qian Zhong to the ground. His right arm reached out and grabbed the imperial edict in an instant.
"Tsk, tsk …"
The words and seal on it immediately made the general's expression change. "Fortunately, I didn't let you destroy it. Otherwise, if such important evidence cannot be presented to the King, who knows how long it will be deceived by you lowly people!"
"Traitor!"
Qian Zhong's eyes were about to split open, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Curse! Curse as much as you want. You will soon become a wandering ghost anyway … No, at least there will be nine generations to accompany you. You will not be lonely on the road! "
The general sneered a few times, and looked around. "What about you? Are you going to surrender, or are you going to struggle? "
"Fight!"
Several captains knew that they were out of luck, and they all drew out their swords.
"Kill!"
The general did not even frown and directly ordered.
Several wolf-like elite soldiers immediately pounced forward, and they grouped together, waving the fine steel long sabers in their hands.
Even if the captains' swords were sharp, how could they wear armor at any time? Immediately, there were a few crisp sounds. That was the sound of their weapons chopping on the soldiers' armor, creating sparks, and the soldiers' machetes unceremoniously stabbed into their bodies.
Poof!
The sound of the blade stabbing into the human body, and the scene of blood slowly flowing out, immediately caused the faces of the civil officials present to turn pale. Some cursed the traitor and were directly beheaded, while others trembled and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. "We are willing to surrender! We are willing to surrender! "
Seeing this, Qian Zhong only felt an indescribable tightness in his chest. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of old blood and completely fainted …
…
"An imperial edict by clothes?"
Not long after, Wu Zhi held the little emperor's blood edict in his hand, and a sneer appeared on his face. "A woman usurping power? Conspiring against the law? The little emperor's words are irrefutable, and I have to do it for him … Come! "
"Your Highness is here!"
The bodyguards waiting outside were naturally first-class elites, and they were willing to die for Wu Zhi at any time.
"Guard the four gates of the palace, and come with me to see the little emperor!"
Wu Zhi changed into a king's costume and said sternly. The red dragon on his body was woven with gold and silver threads, shining brilliantly, and seemed to be constantly swimming.
In the palace.
Ji Lin read a few books, only feeling irritable, and could not read a word.
Now, he was filled with a kind of mood of loss and gain. He deeply regretted that he gave the edict too hastily, leaving no room for himself.
If the Grand Tutor and others succeeded in launching it, it would be fine. If it failed … he dared not continue to think about the result.
Unfortunately, things always developed in the way that he did not want to happen the most.
Crack! Crack!
Neat footsteps came, accompanied by the sound of a large number of armors dragging the ground.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
Eunuch Qiao ran in and reported, "Prince Ding … Prince Ding sent the army to surround the palace, and he brought people in!"
Crack!
Ji Lin's hand shook, and the good rain flower porcelain cup fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces.
"Prince Ding, Wu Zhi, greets Your Majesty!"
Two rows of armors rushed in, and then Wu Zhi in a military uniform.
"What does Prince Ding mean?"
Although he was scared to death, Ji Lin still forced himself to ask.
"To seek justice!"
"Justice?" Ji Lin's heart trembled, "To whom?"
"Naturally to Your Majesty …"
Wu Zhi threw the edict to the ground, "I don't know how Your Majesty explains this edict?"
Seeing that it was indeed his own handwritten letter, Ji Lin could not help falling into the deepest despair.
