Tie Zhan summoned him for an urgent matter. Su Xin informed the people of the Hades and returned to Shengjing City.
When Su Xin entered the city, he did not find anything wrong. Six Fan School did not set up a curfew in the city either. Everything was as usual.
When Su Xin returned to the headquarters of Six Fan School, he asked Huang Bingcheng and Qi Long. Even they did not know the reason. Only Huang Bingcheng said in a low voice, "Sir, the only unusual thing recently is that the imperial court once brought a group of people into the palace. Even we do not know where those people came from. Six Fan School blocked the news."
Huang Bingcheng and Qi Long were both Su Xin's confidants, especially Qi Long, who was the chief of detectives of Shengjing City. He was considered a senior member of Six Fan School. However, even he did not know where those people came from. It was obvious that the imperial court deliberately hid it from him.
Su Xin did not inquire further. Instead, he went straight to Tie Zhan's room.
"Sir Tie, did something happen in the imperial court?" Su Xin came in and asked.
Tie Zhan was not dealing with official business at the moment. Instead, he was rubbing his head with a headache.
When he saw Su Xin come in, he relaxed his eyebrows and said, "There is something big, but I do not know if it is a good thing or a bad thing."
Su Xin sat opposite Tie Zhan and asked, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Tie Zhan nodded and said, "The people of Buddhism and the imperial court's formation grandmasters have worked together to decipher the secret of the white jade slabs that you found. They can indeed make a warrior's Primordial Spirit immortal.
However, the conditions are rather harsh. If Your Majesty wants to use the things on the white jade slabs to extend your life, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to achieve. "
Su Xin's face revealed a trace of surprise, but in reality, his heart was actually calm.
He already knew the secret of the white jade slabs. Although it was called immortality, it was actually an alternative way of cultivating the Primordial Spirit.
However, even if you want to cultivate your Essence Soul, you need to have a good foundation. If your Essence Soul isn't strong enough, then you don't have the qualifications to cultivate the technique on the white jade slab.
In the entire Jianghu, apart from the experts in the True Martial Realm, there were only a handful of people in the Yang Spirit Realm who met the cultivation conditions on the white jade slab.
Moreover, the Chakra King had also said that the things on the white jade slabs were just fragments. Even if one were to forcefully cultivate it, one would only be able to cultivate it to the appearance of the mummified corpses in the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion.
After learning the secret of the white jade slab, he knew that it was impossible for Ji Haodian to rely on this thing to extend his lifespan.
Su Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Does that mean Your Majesty is ready to give up? "
Tie Zhan frowned and said, "It would be a good thing if His Majesty gave up, but the problem is that this is His Majesty's last chance. He doesn't want to give up.
A few days ago, a Formation Master in the Divine Transformation Realm in the Royal Hall of Offerings offered a plan. He said that someone could help His Majesty forge his Essence Soul, so that he could cultivate the technique on the white jade slab.
Therefore, His Majesty has been summoning those people to the capital. He has also asked Six Fan School and the military to summon their experts back for a discussion. "
Su Xin thought of what Huang Bingcheng had told him before. Ji Haodian had summoned some strange people to the capital. It seemed that this group of people should be those people.
Su Xin played with the teacup in his hand and said, "It's also troublesome."
Tie Zhan also nodded and said, "It is indeed troublesome. If His Majesty really succeeds in cultivating this Essence Soul secret technique, it will not be a good thing for the Zhou Kingdom."
Su Xin was considered a member of the Tie family, so Tie Zhan did not hide anything from him. He directly told him what was on his mind.
In fact, Tie Zhan was not the only one who thought so. Even the other experts in the Zhou Kingdom thought so.
They were truly loyal to the Zhou Kingdom, not to Ji Haodian.
The Zhou Kingdom rose in Ji Haodian's hands. Ji Haodian had the ability, so they were loyal to him.
Although Ji Haodian was basically a useless person now, none of the experts in the Zhou Kingdom wanted to usurp the throne. None of them secretly colluded with others to play tricks. The reason was very simple: it would only bring down the entire Zhou Kingdom.
There were experts in the Real Martial Arts Realm in the Zhou Kingdom, and there was more than one of them. However, the strength of these experts was about the same. No one would be willing to accept whoever was in charge of the Zhou Kingdom.
Moreover, after reaching the Real Martial Arts Realm, these people did not have so much time to fight for power and take care of some miscellaneous things. Just like the Shaolin Temple and the Good Fortune Gate, the nominal leader and abbot were both experts in the Real Martial Arts Realm, but in fact, it was someone else who was in charge.
Now the Zhou Kingdom was the same. The most powerful forces, such as Six Fan School, the military, the Imperial Worship Hall, and the Ji Royal Family, had joined forces to form an alliance in the Zhou Kingdom. Ji Haodian was the leader of this alliance. He could mediate the conflicts between the various forces, so that the Zhou Kingdom could continue to prosper.
It could be said that as long as Ji Haodian showed the ability that an emperor should have, the other experts in the Zhou Kingdom would continue to be loyal to him.
The current Zhou Kingdom was not the Great Jin of the past. Those experts were all officials cultivated by the Great Jin since they were young, so they were somewhat foolishly loyal to the Great Jin emperor. They only knew to carry out the orders of the incapable emperor of the Great Jin.
The current Zhou Kingdom was just a combination of interests. It was precisely because Ji Haodian had the ability that he could sit firmly on the throne of the Human Emperor.
If he was muddle-headed, then the experts of the Great Zhou Dynasty wouldn't mind changing the emperor, especially the Ji imperial family. Although they didn't have the right to inherit the throne, they still had a lot of say in the succession of the throne.
Logically speaking, if Ji Haodian continued to sit on the throne of the Human Emperor, it should be beneficial to these forces in the Zhou Kingdom. But in fact, if Ji Haodian really did so, in less than a hundred years, the Zhou Kingdom would be in chaos.
Don't forget that Ji Haodian had so many children. If he still stayed on the throne for more than a hundred years, what would happen to his children? They had waited until they died of old age, but they still did not get this position. How could they be willing to accept it?
Unless Ji Haodian could ruthlessly slaughter all his children. But in this way, sects in the Jianghu like the White Lotus Sect would be very happy to see this happen.
When the court was in chaos, it was time for them to make a move. When that time came, they could save one or a few princes and directly split the Zhou Kingdom.
For people in the Jianghu, a strong court was far less reassuring than a divided court.
Therefore, over the years, the Zhou Kingdom had also avoided this. Last time, Ji Haodian abolished the Crown Prince and the others, but he also allowed the other princes of the Zhou Kingdom to enter the capital to fight for the position of crown prince. This was also to prevent these princes from starting to cause trouble when they were in despair.
This was common sense. In fact, looking at the emperors of the Zhongyuan Dynasty after the Human Emperor, basically, there were not many who lived a long life.
Even if there were some who practiced martial arts, it was impossible to completely rely on pills to reach the Divine Transformation Realm. Moreover, once you began to focus on martial arts and ignore the affairs of the country, there would be princes or even sons of the royal family who would start to secretly play tricks.
Don't you like to practice martial arts? Well, give me the throne, and you can go and practice with peace of mind.
This kind of thing was not uncommon in history. When the Zhou Kingdom was still a small country in the south, Ji Haodian had slaughtered all his brothers who were qualified to inherit the throne. However, now that he wanted to occupy the throne for the rest of his life, he could not blame his sons for having ideas.
Su Xin was puzzled and asked, "Does no one in the court care about the other forces? His Majesty is so willful, which is not a good thing for the Zhou Kingdom. "
Tie Zhan shook his head and said, "It is not the last moment, so no one will stand up and say anything. His Majesty is His Majesty after all. As a subject, it is very inappropriate to stand up and oppose him now. Don't think that there are no conflicts between the forces of the Zhou Kingdom.
Our Six Fan School is relatively close to the military, while the Royal Hall of Offerings is very close to the Ji Royal Family.
Among these forces, there are naturally many people in the Ji Royal Family who want to stand on His Majesty's side. Even if they are collateral relatives, they are also surnamed Ji, while we are outsiders.
Let's take one step at a time. His Majesty is not an idiot. He should know that in this world, apart from the ancient emperor of the past, it is impossible to have another emperor who can sit on the throne for hundreds of years.
He can live a long life, but when the time comes, he must abdicate the throne. With the current foundation of the Zhou Kingdom, we cannot tolerate another chaos. "
Hearing Tie Zhan's words, Su Xin could not help but shake his head in his heart. Based on his understanding of His Majesty, it was extremely difficult to make him take the initiative to abdicate the throne.
His Majesty's desire for power could be said to be beyond everyone's imagination. So what if the Crown Prince, King Tai, and the others were his sons? In the end, he was still easily crippled by him.
Although it was said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, His Majesty was really capable of slaughtering all his own children in order to protect his own power. Su Xin did not doubt this at all.
At this moment, Tie Zhan stood up and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this first. Anyway, whether His Majesty can successfully cultivate the secret method on the white jade slab is still unknown. After all, I have never heard of any cultivation method or treasure in this Jianghu that can strengthen an ordinary person's spiritual force to the level of a Yang Spirit realm expert.
Get ready to follow. His Majesty will directly summon us at noon. I will go inform Liu Wuqian and Fang Jiuyuan first. "
Su Xin nodded and turned to leave, thinking about this matter in his heart.
However, before Su Xin could think too much, Tie Zhan called Liu Wuqian and Fang Jiuyuan to wait in the palace.
When everyone arrived at the main hall, the people from the military were already waiting there. It was still the Mighty General Lin Zongyue and the chief stewards of the Longhu, Huben, and Flying Bear armies.
Su Xin waited for a moment. The Great Master of Great Strength arrived with two Harmonious God realm warriors of Buddhism. When he saw everyone, he put his palms together and bowed to them, then stood to the side silently.
The last people who came with Ji Haodian were Ji Xuanyuan of the Ji Imperial Family and a Yang Spirit realm warrior of the Imperial Consecrator Hall. Looking at his clothes, Su Xin felt that he was vaguely familiar. He should also be a famous figure in the Jianghu, but Su Xin could not remember him.
