Faced with the questioning gazes in the room, Dongfang Tianxiu heaved a long sigh of relief.
He had long expected that the lie from back then would be exposed.
However, Dongfang Tianxiu had thought that none of this would happen.
At that time, Dongfang Tianxiu had lied because he thought that Chu Xingyun would never return.
Through lies, Dongfang Tianxiu would be able to seize power and make the Great Chu royalty a mere figurehead.
However, he had never expected that not only would Chu Xingyun return, but he would also instantly abolish the power that Dongfang Tianxiu had almost obtained.
One had to know that in Dongfang Tianxiu's plan, once the Great Chu royalty was abolished, the power that followed would inevitably be taken over by the various Emperors.
Even if he could not have all the power of the Human Race, as one of the few Emperors, Dongfang Tianxiu would have the least.
He could also rule over a province and restore the glory of the Lingmu Emperor's era.
To put it bluntly, from the day the Great Chu royalty was established, Dongfang Tianxiu had wanted to break up the Great Chu royalty.
He had worked hard for hundreds of years, but under the protection of Shui Liu Xiang and the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race, he had never succeeded.
It was not easy for him to succeed, but Chu Xingyun turned into Yan Guilai and overturned everything in an instant.
However, those who were capable would eventually rise to the top.
Even though the new system and political system had been changed, Dongfang Tianxiu still managed to successfully sit on the throne of the Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice through various means.
However, what he did not expect was that before he could sit down, Chu Wuqing had caused trouble again.
Not only had he left the Cold Palace, but he had also suppressed Chu Xingtian. Now, he was even questioning and exposing all of Dongfang Tianxiu's lies.
While thinking, Dongfang Tianxiu could not help but sneer.
If it was in the past, he would have wasted all his previous efforts.
However, things were different now. Dongfang Tianxiu no longer relied on the lies of the past to maintain his identity and status.
With a faint smile, Dongfang Tianxiu looked at Chu Wuqing and said, "I don't care. I know what I've done. If you want to be ungrateful, that's up to you."
With a sigh, Dongfang Tianxiu said, "It's a pity that I ended up like this after being so busy. But … who told you to be my nephew? I don't blame you."
Looking at Dongfang Tianxiu mockingly, Chu Wuqing said, "Come on, you're still acting at this time. Do you really think we're all fools?"
Coldly glancing at Dongfang Tianxiu, Chu Wuqing turned around and faced all the clan elders. "Back then, there were a total of three factions that established the Great Chu royalty."
The first faction was the Deep Abyss Hundred Races.
The second faction was the military faction led by Shui Liu Xiang and supported by the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race.
The third faction was the old faction led by the Martial Emperor of Ziwei.
Coldly looking at Dongfang Tianxiu, Chu Wuqing said, "You keep saying that you've worked hard and made great contributions. But let me ask you, of these three factions, which one can you extend your hand into?"
This …
Faced with Chu Wuqing's question, Dongfang Tianxiu opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
The Deep Abyss Hundred Races were a terrifying faction that could destroy the Human Race and sweep through the Qiankun world. If he had that ability, he would have dominated the entire Qiankun world long ago.
Moreover, the Deep Abyss Hundred Races were too loyal. Other than Chu Xingyun, they wouldn't listen to anyone else.
As for Shui Liu Xiang and the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race, they had nothing to do with Dongfang Tianxiu.
Although more than a hundred years ago, Shui Liu Xiang had almost married him.
But in the past hundred years, Shui Liu Xiang couldn't even be bothered to look him in the eye. She didn't even let him see her once …
Moreover, in the past hundred years, the military and Dongfang Tianxiu had been in a standoff. Even a fool would know that they were enemies. The members of the Great Chu royalty were the most direct observers. There was no way to lie to them.
Finally, there was the old faction led by the Martial Emperor of Ziwei.
First of all, the Martial Emperor of Ziwei would never be in cahoots with the four Emperors and their descendants.
Secondly, the Martial Emperor of Ziwei was in the Qiankun world. Even if Dongfang Tianxiu wanted to lie, Chu Wuqing could easily verify it. There was no point in doing so.
For a moment, as they looked at Chu Wuqing and Dongfang Tianxiu in the middle of the field, all the elders suddenly understood.
That's right … two of the three factions that had established the Great Chu royalty were Chu Xingyun's right-hand men.
As for the third faction, which was led by the Martial Emperor of Ziwei, it was because of Di Tianyi. What did this have to do with Dongfang Tianxiu?
In the silence, Chu Wuqing looked around coldly and snorted. "Perhaps everyone doesn't know who these three factions were united against back then."
Pausing, Chu Wuqing gave everyone some time to think. Then, he said calmly, "However … let me remind everyone that back then, it was the era of the four Emperors. Even if the four Emperors passed away, their descendants inherited everything from them."
Woo woo …
Hearing Chu Wuqing's words, everyone instantly let out a low cry.
At this moment, all the elders finally came to a realization.
That's right. Since the three factions had joined forces to establish the Great Chu royalty, it must have been because there was resistance.
Now that they thought about it, where did this resistance come from?
Without a doubt, whoever was in power at that time was the greatest resistance.
Therefore, not only was this Dongfang Tianxiu not the one who had established the Great Chu royalty, but he was also the one who opposed it the most. He was also … the person that the three factions really wanted to fight against!
Furthermore, looking back over the past hundred years, although Dongfang Tianxiu had used his identity as Chu Wuqing's grandfather to get close to the Great Chu royalty, the three factions had always opposed him.
However, the truth was that the three major powers had been opposing him the entire time. They had never stood together with Dongfang Tianxiu.
Now that they thought about it, how could Dongfang Tianxiu's actions over the past few years have been helping the Great Chu royalty?
Although Chu Xingyun had taken away all the rights of the Great Chu royalty, in reality, even if Chu Xingyun hadn't appeared, would the Great Chu royalty have remained safe and sound?
What really caused the Great Chu royalty to lose its rights was the Great Chu royalty's inaction.
In the words of the elders, Chu Wuqing had made too many mistakes.
Now that they thought about it, Chu Wuqing had indeed made many mistakes. However, were these mistakes made by Chu Wuqing himself?
No, no, no …
Chu Wuqing was only one person. Although he was the Emperor, the ones who really did things were definitely other people. It was Chang Gui and Laifu. It couldn't have been him.
Now that they thought about it, the one who really ruined things and caused the Great Chu royalty to fall to its current state wasn't Chu Wuqing. It was Dongfang Tianxiu!
Chu Wuqing was wrong. However, his fault was that he had listened to slander and entrusted the matter to someone who shouldn't have been entrusted. This had led to the tragedy.
As far as Chu Wuqing was concerned, he had never personally done anything that offended the heavens.
However, who was the one who slandered him?
