Seeing how Ji Yancheng looked like he wanted to tear him apart on the spot, Su Xin said lightly, "Your Highness, you need to understand that the person I killed was not one of your people. He was just a traitor who was plotting a rebellion."
Everyone was stunned. What did Su Xin mean? Was he trying to accuse Ji Yancheng of plotting a rebellion? Would anyone believe that?
Su Xin pointed at the heavily injured warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm and said, "This is the Six Fan School of Shengjing City. He is just a Jianghu warrior with no official position, yet he dared to attack the Six Fan School of Shengjing City. If this isn't rebellion, then what is? Even if I killed him on the spot, he deserved it, let alone seriously injuring him! "
Ji Yancheng was suddenly speechless. The people he had recruited naturally did not have any official positions.
He was just a Master. Even if he could arrange official positions for his people, they would only be positions in the fiefdom.
According to the laws of the Zhou Kingdom, as long as the head steward of the various princes' manors left their fiefdoms, the Zhou Kingdom would not recognize them. They would not even have a rank.
Therefore, all the people recruited by the princes of the Zhou Kingdom were just hangers-on. They were proper independent warriors.
However, Ji Yancheng said coldly, "He is my man, and I was the one who made him tear down the Six Fan School of Shengjing City. Am I, Ji Yancheng, going to rebel as well?
All of you, attack! Tear down the entire Six Fan School of Shengjing City. Let's see who in Shengjing City dares to stop us! "
Ji Yancheng waved his hand. The independent warriors behind him and the warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm who supported him all prepared to attack together.
Su Xin's strength was not simple. He was once number one on the Ranking List of Young Masters. Even though he had broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm, ordinary warriors could not compare to him.
However, there were 11 warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm here. Even if Su Xin had once fought against a hundred people in the Innate Realm, the Divine Transformation Realm was not the same as the Innate Realm. It was not that easy to win with fewer people.
Eleven Soul Transformation Realm martial artists attacked together, and their power instantly stirred up the wind and clouds, causing the Origin Energy of the world within a radius of thousands of feet to be stirred up, becoming extremely violent.
However, at this moment, Su Xin was still very indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.
The people observing from the outside were all startled, Su Xin was so fearless, could it be that the Tie family was preparing to make a move?
However, right at this moment, a sharp and cold voice rang out. "Your Highness, King Tai, you sure are impressive. No one in Shengjing City dares to stop you.
In that case, I'll have to tell His Majesty that it's better to appoint Your Highness as the Crown Prince as soon as possible. Even the Crown Prince isn't as awe-inspiring as you. Otherwise, it'll be somewhat unjustifiable for you to show off your might now. "
As the voice faded, a huge handprint descended from the sky.
The cold and gentle chill was bone-chilling. The expressions of the 11 warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm suddenly changed as they tried to resist it together.
In an instant, the powerful Gang Qi exploded, and the 11 people spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time. The extreme Yin Qi entered their bodies like cold poison, instantly causing them to suffer serious internal injuries!
Everyone knew that the only people in the world who could cultivate extreme Yin Spiritual Qi to such a terrifying level were the experts in the palace.
The strongest among them was Tang Xian, the Minister of the Imperial Household, who had served generations of emperors of the Zhou Kingdom!
Tang Xian, who was dressed in a crimson robe, walked over slowly with Tang Jiu and a few young eunuchs following him. He had a fake smile on his face. "Your Highness, King Tai, you're really impressive. What kind of place is Six Gates? It's an important national treasure! It's a place for the imperial court to monitor the world!
In the end, you, King Tai, wanted to tear down the Six Gates of Shengjing City just because of a disagreement. Are you going to tear down the Grand Council next? Is my Minister of the Imperial Household going to be torn down as well? "
Tang Xian's words were obviously targeted at Ji Yancheng. Seeing how fearless Su Xin was, it was clear that he had colluded with Tang Xian a long time ago.
However, the problem was that this old eunuch, Tang Xian, had always maintained a neutral stance. Why would he stand on Su Xin's side now?
Everyone shook their heads, somewhat unable to understand.
However, it wasn't that Tang Xian had to stand on Su Xin's side. He was just standing opposite Ji Yancheng.
Right now, Ji Yancheng still thought that Tang Xian was targeting him because he wanted to make a move against Su Xin, and that Tang Xian wanted to protect Su Xin.
Tang Xian's appearance made Ji Yancheng extremely furious. However, be it in terms of strength or this old eunuch's identity, he couldn't do anything to him.
Therefore, Ji Yancheng could only swallow his anger and say, "Eunuch Tang, this is a personal grudge between me and Su Xin. It has nothing to do with Six Gates or you."
As a dignified prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could only lower his voice to Tang Xian. This made Ji Yancheng exceptionally angry.
He had already made up his mind. After he ascended to the throne, the first thing he would do was to change the position of the Chief of the Imperial Household to his trusted aide, Feng Ying.
As for this old eunuch, Tang Xian, he would definitely tear him into pieces to vent the hatred in his heart!
Tang Xian sneered and said, "Your Highness, you're wrong. Lord Su is the chief constable of Six Gates in Shengjing City. He guards the entire Zhou Kingdom and Shengjing City.
You want to tear down Six Gates in Shengjing City because of a personal grudge against him, and you want to fight and kill Lord Su. In the future, if the military has a grudge against you, are you going to remove a certain general's military power and kill him as well? "
Ji Yancheng's expression immediately changed. When Ji Yanyu and the other princes, who were hidden in the dark, heard Tang Xian's words, their expressions also changed.
Tang Xian was indeed an old eunuch who had served several generations of emperors in the palace. Even if he hadn't used the plots and schemes of the royal family, he had seen them before.
If he said these words to Ji Haodian, it was guaranteed that this prince would never have the chance to inherit the throne in this lifetime. He would be chased into his fief.
How did the State of Jin fall in the past?
Even though the entire State of Jin's royal family had decayed and fallen, and the number of experts in the royal family had withered, one of the causes was that the last emperor of the State of Jin was afraid that General Yaowu, Lin Weiyuan, had great merits and thus sent experts to kill him.
In the end, although Lin Weiyuan had died, the State of Jin's royal family had also suffered countless casualties, laying the groundwork for the State of Jin's downfall.
Now, the Zhou Kingdom had learned its lesson from the State of Jin. There was really nothing much to say about these officials. They all had great authority.
As the saying went, don't suspect people you use. Now, the Zhou Kingdom was more like a union of interests. Everyone had their own interests, so they would desperately protect the Zhou Kingdom. If anything happened to the Zhou Kingdom, their interests would also be affected.
It was just like the Six Fan School. Although the Tie Family wasn't the only big family, at least 70% of the Six Fan School's power was controlled by the Tie Family.
This was also the result of Tie Ao maintaining fairness. If Tie Ao had sided with the Tie Family, with the power of the Six Fan School, they would only need to say a word to take back all the power that Liu Fengwu and the others had.
Now, Ji Yancheng's words were a little too taboo. Especially after Tang Xian's interpretation, it made the officials of the Zhou Kingdom feel even more bitterly disappointed.
Today, you had a conflict with Su Xin, yet you didn't care about the interests of the Zhou Kingdom and destroyed the Six Fan School in Shengjing. You even wanted to kill Su Xin. Wouldn't you be able to beat up and kill these officials of the Zhou Kingdom when you became the Emperor?
As the Emperor, if you didn't care about the interests of the Zhou Kingdom, then what would the officials of the Zhou Kingdom think?
If the ruler treated his officials like his own hands and feet, then the officials would treat the ruler like a confidant. If the ruler treated his officials like dogs and horses, then the officials would treat the ruler like a fellow countryman. If the ruler treated his officials like dirt, then the officials would treat the ruler like a bandit.
Be it the officials of the Zhou Kingdom, the officials of the Six Fan School, or the nobles, they all thought this way.
The saying that if the ruler wanted the officials to die, the officials had no choice but to die was impossible in the Zhou Kingdom.
If Ji Haodian heard this, he would definitely think that Ji Yancheng, who had such thoughts, would cause unrest in the hearts of the people of the Zhou Kingdom even if he took over a bit of power, let alone becoming the crown prince.
Therefore, Ji Haodian would most likely chase him out of Shengjing and throw him into some remote fiefdom to live the rest of his life.
At the thought of this, Ji Yancheng trembled all over. He hurriedly said, "Eunuch Tang, I didn't mean that! Today was all a misunderstanding. I definitely didn't have any intention of targeting the Lord Su! "
Although Tang Xian knew that Ji Yancheng hated him to death, he also knew that he could only scare Ji Yancheng at most. He couldn't do anything to him.
In the entire Zhou Kingdom, the only person who could punish Ji Yancheng was the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, Ji Haodian. No one else had the right.
Therefore, Tang Xian only said calmly, "It's good that you didn't mean that. I was just worried that His Highness, the King of Tai, would do something irreversible in a moment of impulse. That wouldn't be good."
Ji Yancheng hurriedly nodded and didn't dare to say another word. He led his men and left dejectedly. However, at this moment, he wanted nothing more than to swallow Su Xin and Tang Xian alive.
After Su Xin left, the other princes and the people they had sent also secretly dispersed.
They were happy to see Ji Yancheng suffer a setback at Su Xin's hands. However, Ji Yancheng had only suffered a setback, and only one of his subordinates was seriously injured. It had some impact on his faction, but not too much.
What everyone was really puzzled about was when Tang Xian had colluded with Su Xin and even supported him so strongly.
It should be known that Tang Xian had not been close to any of the princes all these years in order to avoid arousing suspicion. Similarly, he didn't have any contact with external factions either. He had always used his aloof status to avoid getting involved in the princes' fights. However, today, he had personally appeared to support Su Xin. This was interesting.
Meanwhile, in the Chu royal residence, King Chu, Ji Yanhao, was also listening to his personal eunuch's report.
He hadn't been there personally today and had only sent someone over to take a look.
When he found out that Tang Xian had actually taken action in the end, he was stunned for a moment. However, he immediately sneered and said, "That old eunuch Tang Xian can't hold it in anymore. With the new emperor succeeding the throne, he probably can't keep his position as the head of the Imperial Household, right?
Now that he's working with Su Xin, is he trying to win the Six Doors' support? Seeing how he's working so hard to support Su Xin, he must have received a promise from the Tie family. "
Among the many princes, Ji Yanhao was known for his scheming and ruthlessness.
He could guess the reason for this matter after listening for a while. However, he had only guessed half of it. What really made Tang Xian decide to help Su Xin was what Ji Yancheng had said at the arena in Luoyang.
