After Ji Yanxiu left, Huang Bingcheng asked in a low voice, "Boss, is this King of Shu reliable?"
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Reliable? There is no one with the surname Ji. No one in the royal family is an idiot. We must be extremely vigilant against this group of people. "
Huang Bingcheng asked in surprise, "Then why did you agree to his request just now?"
Su Xin asked in reply, "The initiative is in my hands. What is there for me to be afraid of?
Ji Yanxiu is a smart man, but he is also an ambitious guy.
The original King of Shu, Ji Yanxiu, just wanted to protect his life and wealth after the new emperor ascended the throne. But now, Ji Yanxiu wants to sit on the dragon throne.
Because of this, Ji Yanxiu can tolerate joining hands with others, but he can't tolerate becoming a puppet of the major forces in the Jianghu like the other princes.
Since it is an alliance, among all the forces in the entire Zhou Kingdom, only Six Fan School is the most suitable for him.
The military guarantees the stability of the Zhou Kingdom. As long as the Ji Royal Family can ensure that the future heir to the throne has the blood of the Ji Family, it is enough.
As for the people in the Imperial Worship Hall, their requirements are even simpler. As long as the Zhou Kingdom can give them the treatment and cultivation resources they deserve, they don't care who the successor to the throne is.
Among these forces in the Zhou Kingdom, only our Six Fan School has the deepest relationship with His Majesty. Some of the intelligence that His Majesty wants, some of the things that His Majesty wants to do in secret, are mostly handed over to Six Fan School to handle.
So no matter who ascends the throne in the future, it can be said that our Six Fan School is the most indispensable.
Now, Ji Yanxiu wants to build a good relationship with me and even wants to use my power to ascend the throne. All the initiative is in my hands.
To put it simply, every prince who wants to ascend the throne must first rope in our Six Fan School. Moreover, our Six Fan School does not need to curry favor with any prince. "
Both Huang Bingcheng and Qi Long nodded in understanding.
Some things might be a little confusing from the perspective of a subject, but Su Xin did not consider the relationship between the monarch and the subject at all. He only considered interests. In this way, the cause and effect of this matter were clear. No matter how things developed in the future, Six Fan School and Su Xin were in an invincible position.
It was no wonder that Tie Zhan had relaxed his control over Six Fan School and went into seclusion. Even Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian did not want to get involved in this matter. It was not because they were afraid, but because they had nothing to fear.
Speaking of which, although the current system of the Zhou Kingdom seemed to be a little declining, in fact, this was the most reasonable.
The power of the imperial court was not in the hands of one person. This way, even if the emperor occasionally went crazy, the imperial court would not fall.
It was like the State of Jin in the past. Although it did not have the long history of some aristocratic families or sects in the pugilistic world, its territory covered the entire martial arts world in the Central Plains. When the State of Jin was at its most powerful, its territory was even twice the size of the current Zhou Kingdom. Some of the rare treasures it had plundered were even more frightening.
Its foundation was incomparably deep. However, even with such a deep foundation, it was a mess because of a few useless emperors. In the end, they even did stupid things like killing their own people. The huge Jin Dynasty also began to decline.
The Zhou Kingdom had learned its lesson from the State of Jin. Although Ji Haodian was a little sinister, his methods were very magnanimous. He could seize power and delegate it.
If there were some ignorant and incompetent wastrels among his future descendants, then the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be in the hands of the military, the Six Fan School, and other military groups. Although they did not have the opportunity and conditions to rebel, they would not die because of the orders of some idiots.
Similarly, if Ji Haodian's descendants were useless, then he naturally would not have the right to command the military forces of the Zhou Kingdom. He could only lose his power and become a puppet. However, the Zhou Kingdom could continue to be passed down.
If one of his descendants could produce a hero like Ji Haodian, then he would naturally make the military forces of the Zhou Kingdom reach a balance and take back his power.
Just like the current Ji Haodian, although he did not have any martial arts, he was the decision maker of the entire Zhou Kingdom. With the military support of the Ji royal family, he could completely control the entire Zhou Kingdom.
The current situation in Shengjing was not something that Su Xin should worry about. He was only responsible for watching the show. That was enough.
After eating at Chuanxiang Restaurant, Su Xin brought Huang Bingcheng and the others back to the headquarters of Six Fan School in Shengjing. He also instructed them not to make a move and to hide like Fang Jiuyuan and the others. However, they still had to leave behind spies so that they could monitor the movements in Shengjing at all times.
Lin Zongyue had yet to return. Su Xin wanted to make a trip to the Sword Fighting Sect to hand over the Dragon Soaring a Thousand Miles and the Yearning Sword to Xin Er. However, Su Xin was afraid that something big would happen in Shengjing if Lin Zongyue suddenly returned, so he did not move. After all, there was still some time before Xin Er left the mountain to roam the martial world.
The last time he went to the Sword Fighting Sect, Su Xin had already asked the 'Iron Blood Sword Maniac' Chu Bufan for help. Once Xin Er left the mountain to train, he would tell him immediately.
Therefore, during this period of time, Su Xin had been waiting in the Six Fan School. Finally, ten days later, he received news that Lin Zongyue had returned to Shengjing with the Life Generating Pill!
This was a huge matter. The entire Shengjing and all the sects in the martial world were alarmed.
Right now, the three items that could allow Ji Haodian to transplant his Primordial Spirit had been prepared. Ji Haodian's grand plan of immortality could finally be implemented. Or rather, it could be said that Ji Haodian had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
In the palace, Ji Haodian held the Life Generating Pill that Lin Zongyue had given him. A hint of ferocious killing intent appeared in his eyes.
During this period of time, he knew what his sons were thinking and what the people of Jianghu were thinking. These people all wanted him dead. Even his officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't know what they were thinking.
Right now, the chance of immortality was right in front of him. Ji Haodian would not give it up. Even if he had to become enemies with millions of people, he would still do it.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Ji Haodian suddenly said, "Tang Xian."
His voice was strange and hoarse. No matter how one listened to it, there was a strong smell of blood.
"Your old servant is here." Tang Xian was shocked. He hurriedly bowed and said respectfully.
Ji Haodian said coldly, "Hand the Life Generating Pill to Sun Buhai. Get him to prepare for the Primordial Spirit transplant now. Prepare to do it for me three days later.
"At the same time, directly announce to the world that I'm preparing to hold a 'Heaven-Observing Banquet'. The time is also set for three days later.
"When the time comes, I won't have time to entertain them. Get my princes, the Six Doors, the military, the Royal Consecrator's Hall, and the people of the Ji Royal Family to accompany me."
A hint of shock immediately appeared on Tang Xian's face. "Your Majesty, you're thinking of …"
Ji Haodian stretched out his hand and interrupted him. With a dark expression, he said, "Don't they want nothing more than for me to die? Alright then, I can't be bothered to play those crafty tricks with them. This time, let's fight openly. Let's see who will lose!
"Over 20 years ago, I was able to destroy the Great Jin Dynasty and suppress the martial world. Now, all of you can forget about defeating me!"
Tang Xian lowered his head, but cold sweat had already started sliding down from his forehead.
As someone who had served Ji Haodian his entire life, he understood Ji Haodian's thoughts this time. Ji Haodian wanted to let him live forever even if both the Zhou Kingdom and the martial world suffered great losses. At the same time, he wanted to get rid of some people who didn't know their place!
Ji Haodian knew that as long as he started to take action, the various sects in the martial world would definitely not stand idly by.
Therefore, he decided to make it clear to them that he would be preparing to carry out his plan to live forever three days later. If they had the guts, they could come to Shengjing City.
At the same time, he also brought out his princes, the people from the Six Doors, the military, and the Royal Consecrator's Hall to accompany him. He wanted to see who was loyal and who was disloyal to him.
Now, other than the Ji Royal Family, who were related to him by blood and could not usurp the throne, Ji Haodian no longer trusted anyone.
These princes coveted his throne. There were definitely people in the military, the Six Doors, and the Royal Consecrator's Hall who harbored disloyalty. It was just that he didn't know who they were and how many of them there were.
That was why Ji Haodian came up with such a plan. He would put them all together. At that time, whoever dared to speak up for those martial arts forces or open the door for them would know who the traitor was without saying.
However, Ji Haodian's actions would cause great damage to the Zhou Kingdom's strength. They might even send out people in the True Martial Realm.
However, Ji Haodian couldn't care less now. He also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to dig out all the people in the imperial court who were not loyal to him and who were wavering. Even if the Zhou Kingdom really suffered great losses, he wouldn't care!
Moreover, Ji Haodian still believed that he could reach the Immortality Realm by transplanting his Primordial Spirit and cultivating the secret technique of the white jade stone slab. When the time came, he would be able to maintain his immortality and develop the Zhou Kingdom to a new height. The little loss he suffered now could be completely made up for in the future.
Tang Xian bowed respectfully and left, preparing to spread the imperial edict to the people in the Pugilistic World.
Even though he saw the risks involved, he still didn't say a word.
To him, as long as Ji Haodian was still sitting on the throne, his status would always be guaranteed.
Therefore, even though he knew that Ji Haodian's plan was rather crazy, he still didn't stop it. Instead, he personally handed the imperial edict to the secret agents of the Six Doors to print it. In the end, he even asked them to help spread it to the 49 paths of the Zhou Kingdom.
Moreover, as Tang Xian had expected, when this news spread to the Pugilistic World, it spread at a flying speed. In just half a day, everyone in the Pugilistic World knew about this matter. Immediately, all the top sects in the Pugilistic World, except for sects like the Medicine King Valley and the Sword Pavilion of Bashu, were in an uproar.
