He would not stop until his words shocked people to death!
The more Cui Xichen spoke, the more excited he became, and the clearer his mind became.
It was as if a scroll was slowly unfolding in front of his eyes, telling him a story that had been hidden for many years.
He was incomparably sure that what he said was the truth.
"When the late Emperor was young, he had a close relationship with your eldest son. They were not brothers, but close friends. They lived together, studied together, and practiced martial arts together. Even the plaque of the library used by your eldest son was personally written by the late Emperor when he was still the Crown Prince. This matter, no one in Tiandu does not know about it. "
"Because he has been hanging around in your residence for a long time, you also have a close relationship. He regards you as an uncle, and you regard him as a nephew. However, the good times did not last long, because after the late Emperor ascended the throne, he repeatedly beheaded your subordinates and reduced your military power, causing your relationship to become more and more tense and deteriorate — — Which monarch would like an arrogant and unruly official who holds a large army? "
"From being as close as family to being enemies, everything seems logical and reasonable. Your relationship with the late Emperor became more and more estranged, and even your eldest son broke off relations with the late Emperor. The late Emperor did not step into your residence for more than ten years — — Some people looked on coldly, some people hit him when he was down. However, the relationship between the first person in the military who holds millions of lions and the monarch is not on good terms, which is something that everyone is happy to see. "
"The gap was getting bigger and bigger, and even began to spread rumours that the Lu clan was going to raise troops to rebel — — more and more people said it, and the situation became more and more chaotic. Until — — until the appearance of Li Muyang. Li Muyang was a primer, but also a disruptor. He took the situation in a direction that no one could see clearly. "
"However, there is one thing that cannot be changed — — because of the late Emperor's stubbornness, because he repeatedly seized the Song clan's direct line of descent in important personnel changes, and most importantly — — he actually wanted to abolish the Crown Prince Chu Kai, who was born to a Song clan woman, and replace him with Chu Tuo, whom he liked more. Such behavior was really unbearable for the Song clan. They had the idea of abolishing the late Emperor and replacing him with a new Emperor. "
"Of course, if they want to succeed in this matter, the first one they want to eradicate is the Lu family … I'm afraid that it's not until the Song family has this idea that they realize that although the late emperor has been very kind to them all these years, he has been constantly weakening their power. And it seems that the late emperor's attitude towards you was the worst, to the point of public humiliation. Has the position of the number one person in the Lu family's military ever wavered? If they want to depose the late Emperor, the first thing they have to do is to crush your Lu family. Otherwise, your Lu family might pounce on them at any time and take a big bite. This bite is too heavy, it's enough to be fatal … "
"So, there was Mu Yubai's long street obstruction, and also Mu Dingyi's earth-shattering sword on the Sword God Square — — It was just that the Song clan did not expect that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. They wanted to get rid of the Lu family and the late emperor in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect that you had already made other arrangements … "
The grey-robed old man's countenance changed, looking at Cui Xichen and asked, "What are the arrangements?"
"Li Fu is the murderer of the late Emperor. On the surface, Li Fu is a person of the Song clan, but in fact Li Fu is a person of the late Emperor. From the beginning to the end, the Song clan has never really recruited Li Fu — — Li Fu is just a eunuch, how much capital can the Song clan use to make him betray the Emperor? "
"Li Fu killed the late Emperor at the behest of the late Emperor — — and Prince Fu is not really colluding with the Song clan to replace his elder brother. Because he knows that as long as his elder brother is dead, the Song clan must find a puppet that is easier to control — — So, as long as he winks at the Song clan and pretends to be obedient, the Song clan will understand his intentions. The two hit it off. "
"Sure enough, the late Emperor was killed, and Prince Fu — — His Majesty has become the new Emperor. This is not the arrangement of the Song clan, this is the arrangement of the late Emperor, and also the arrangement of your Lu clan. The late Emperor knew that he alone could not really get rid of the control of the Song clan. Chu Kai is the son of a woman of the Song clan, if he inherits the throne, it is even more impossible for him to betray his grandfather and uncle. Perhaps at that time, in order to stabilize his position, he will entrust the Song clan with more responsibilities — — "
"Only when he dies and Prince Fu ascends to the throne, can the Song clan be completely at ease with the Chu clan — — Moreover, the late Emperor has just died, and Prince Fu has just ascended to the throne. Even if there are any slightly excessive requests, the Song clan can only turn a blind eye — — They can't change two Emperors in a short period of time, right? In that case, I'm afraid the West Wind political system will not be stable, more incidents will occur, and the neighboring countries will also be restless — — "
"In that case, why doesn't the Song clan directly let Chu Kai inherit the throne? When the late Emperor dies, isn't it right for the Crown Prince to inherit the throne? "
"Face." Cui Xichen said in a low voice. "The Song clan has always refused to take off their millennium-old scholarly family's signboard, they do not want to leave any traces of gossip — — If they pushed the Crown Prince to the throne at that time, most likely the scholars of the world will begin to suspect that the Song clan is the real usurper of the country? Besides, the Crown Prince is mediocre, how can he deal with the ruthless officials and the countless open spears and hidden arrows? "
"Besides, after the late Emperor ascended the throne, the Crown Prince died of illness in less than a year. The world says that this is the means of His Majesty, but I'm afraid this is not only the means of His Majesty, you have already made arrangements at the Sword God Square, right? If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will die within a few months. At that time, who will they push to the throne? It would be better to push Prince Fu to the throne first, and when the situation is really stable, the internal worries are lifted, and the external troubles are quelled, then they will use the Crown Prince to exchange for Prince Fu — — At that time, the Song clan can really sit back and relax. "
"Song Gudu stands high and sees far — — for one step, he calculated ten steps back. What he didn't expect was that every move he made fell into your calculations — — Of course, you can't blame him. He didn't expect that the late Emperor would sacrifice himself to play such a trick, and he also didn't expect that you would fake your death to turn from the light to the dark, and reverse the situation — — "
"The late Emperor died in battle, the Lu clan collapsed, and the Chu clan seemed to be in a precarious situation, but secretly controlled the imperial power with the help of the current Emperor. For the first time in thousands of years, they really controlled the imperial power. After your death, the direct line of the Lu clan was purged, but most of your most valued subordinates disappeared without a trace — — These people have a good reputation in the army, and are loved and respected by the soldiers. As long as they are sent to the army at the critical moment, they can quickly take control of the military power — — "
"This is also the real reason why the city patrol camp was not under control, and the entire Qilin army was ambushed — —" Cui Xichen looked at the grey-robed old man in front of him with a look of admiration. "Lu Xingkong, this is all because you're still alive."
Lu Xingkong!
On the Sword God Square, the West Wind General Lu Xingkong who fought with Song Gudu with his life, the first person of the military Lu Xingkong, the head of the Lu clan Lu Xingkong, was still alive — —
Moreover, he had manipulated all this behind the scenes.
Decades of plotting and planning, advancing step by step, and pushing the situation to this point.
When the late Emperor was still the Crown Prince, he had already set up a plan to seize power.
However, the Song clan had stood tall for thousands of years and was deeply rooted. The fierce generals under his command were like tigers, hundreds of officials responded to him, the scholars of the world admired him, and the people were loyal to him.
It could be said that the Song clan was more like the imperial family of West Wind.
It was easier said than done to take back the military power, imperial power, and the hearts of the people from such a huge family, from an opponent like Song Gudu.
Time and time again, they had tried to flatter and deceive each other.
Time and time again, they had put on a show of discord in front of the people, in order to deceive the Song clan and confuse the common people.
Finally, hard work paid off.
They did it. The Song clan collapsed, and the Chu clan regained control of the imperial power.
"Like silk peeling a cocoon, everything fits seamlessly. Xichen is a great talent. "The grey-robed old man gave a cupped fist salute to Cui Xichen.
"Hahaha — —"
Cui Xichen burst into wild laughter.
"An official who destroyed the family, is worthy of the title of a great talent of Sand Eagle?"
"Scheming against an unsuspecting person, after all I still have some advantages."
"Scheming against an unsuspecting person, that is also because I have a heart. The outcome has been decided, one must accept defeat. "
"So, you came here this time to make the Emperor's lightning smaller?"
"Yes." Cui Xichen looked imploringly at the grey-robed old man, saying in a low voice: "As a parent, I have to find a way for my child to live. I, Cui Xichen, have done something wrong, I am willing to take responsibility. "
The grey-robed old man was silent for a long time, before he said aloud: "If you are here, I'm afraid the Emperor will not feel at ease."
"If I am a useless person, the Emperor will feel at ease, right?" Cui Xichen said with a smile.
The grey-robed old man exclaimed, "Brother Xichen, do you really want to do this?"
Cui Xichen stood up, bowed deeply to the grey-robed old man, and said: "We got to know each other, please."
Straightening up, he raised his hands to the sky, and a silver ball of light emerged between his hands.
The ball of light, like a living creature, grew larger and larger, like a moon.
"Ah — —"
With a muffled groan, the ball of light rushed into the top of his head. Entering the body, spreading to the five viscera and six viscera, and then gathered in the dantian.
Bang!
A loud noise sounded, and the sea of qi and dantian were unexpectedly blown to pieces by the silver ball of light.
In an instant, thousands of rays of light flew out from Cui Xichen's body. His whole body was wrapped and entangled by the silver gas.
In the sky, black clouds were rolling, and in the small courtyard, the grass was broken.
When the brilliance dissipated, when everything returned to tranquility.
The mighty and tall Cui Xichen had turned into a white-haired, skinny old man with a bent back.
Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his voice was weak. He bowed to the grey-robed old man, and without saying a word, turned and left.
Creak — —
Even the subtle action of pulling the courtyard door was extremely strenuous.
He lifted his foot and shakily crossed the threshold.
"Grandfather — —" Yan Xiangma's exclamation came from outside the door.
"Go back — —" An old voice came into the small courtyard. "Go back — —"
A strong cultivator of Starry Sky, a powerful minister of his generation, Cui Xichen had lost his decades of martial arts cultivation, and had become an old man without the strength to truss a chicken.
