I, Scorpio Lone Star, like to make friends

Chapter 320 Suddenly a lunatic sharpens his knife at night, and the emperor's star flutters and confuses
Late at night, East Palace.

The officials were arguing, and since they came to the East Palace, the quarreling voices have not stopped, excuses, accusations, cursing, complaining, and various things related to Lu Fang kept ringing out.

Fang Changjing, the crown prince, watched this scene calmly, but showed a look of disappointment. In the past, this high-spirited minister was actually trying to shirk at this time, and put all the blame on Lu Fang. Wrong person.

From the beginning to the end, I didn't even think about how to solve the current crisis and change the unfavorable situation.

It's not that they are stupid, but that their minds have changed and they no longer have the same heart with the prince. After leaving the East Palace today, I don't know how many people are going to seek refuge with King Jin, or to see His Majesty Taizong and Gaozong.

The princelings are already on the verge of collapse. If the prince has no solution, the princelings will fall apart after tonight.

This made Fang Changjing angry, these guys who showed their stupidity were just too smart.

Fang Changjing looked at the prince. The prince was kneeling behind the table, expressionless and silent, like a statue, which appeared very special in a noisy place.

Lu Fang's counterattack was fatal to the prince. Lu Fang's status is too high, and he is also the prince's confidant. He knows too many secrets of the prince. The evidence in his hand is very deadly. It is impossible to use this to reverse the case.

Fang Changjing couldn't bear it anymore, and finally told the taboo that everyone deliberately avoided.

"Now, there is only one way for His Highness."

"mutiny."

The two words were spoken in a low voice, but it suppressed all the noisy voices. The scene fell silent for a while, but immediately a retorting voice sounded: "No."

"Absolutely not."

"Yes, the danger of mutiny is too great."

"There's no hope of success at all."

The voices of all kinds of tongues kept talking about the difficulties, and nearly half of the people directly opposed it. Among the rest, there were a few people who supported it, and some were silent.

All this scene was watched by Fang Changjing, and he couldn't help speaking with excitement: "Your Highness has entered a desperate situation. Although the mutiny is extremely difficult, if you don't fight once, you will definitely die."

"There is no one in the world who can live a long life if a prince is abandoned."

The crown prince interrupted Fang Changjing's speech by raising his hand: "There's no need to say anything."

"A mutiny has no hope of success."

"Shenhou has left Shendu and headed to Daliang City, Liangzhou. This is what the saint did on purpose, just to prevent accidents."

"The mutiny must be defeated, just let you sacrifice in vain."

"On the contrary, I lost this time. As long as you accept it willingly, although you will be implicated, your lives will be saved."

"Go away."

The prince also had no intention of continuing to speak, and waved away the crowd.

Soon all the officials left one by one, only Fang Changjing didn't get up, looking at the prince who was not resisting, he couldn't help persuading and preaching: "The matter about Lu Fang is because of Lu Fang's heart and dog's lungs, not because His Highness is ignorant of people."

"How can Your Highness be depressed and be knocked down by this incident? You are a Mingjun who wants to rejuvenate the Great Zhou and create a prosperous age."

The crown prince looked at Fang Changjing and shook his head and said, "I gave up resistance not only to save your lives, but also for Da Zhou."

"Continuing the battle for the heir apparent will be a disaster rather than a blessing to the Great Zhou. It is absolutely impossible for Lu Fang to be won over by King Jin. It must be His Majesty Taizong who can betray Lu Fang."

"Although my palace has the ambition to rejuvenate the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not sure that it can be completed. On the contrary, His Majesty Taizong has the merits of founding the country and governing the world."

"The Great Zhou is in his hands, and it has climbed to its peak. If His Majesty Taizong is restored, the Jiazi Rebellion will be quelled in the future, and the Great Zhou will be revived."

Seeing that Fang Changjing was about to speak again, the crown prince waved his hand not to give Fang Changjing a chance to speak, and said calmly, "I know what you want to say."

"This time Lu Fang's betrayal has already let me know that in the eyes of many courtiers, it is His Majesty Taizong who can rejuvenate the Great Zhou Dynasty, not me."

"People's hearts are against each other, how can they resist."

"Continuing to struggle is just a constant internal friction and self-defeating Da Zhou's strength."

"I am the eternal sinner of the Ji family."

The prince fell silent, and there was one thing he didn't say. This was the biggest secret of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is, the true dragon's destiny, rituals, and altars in the past have all been passed down, and they have not completely failed.

Among the Ji family, only His Majesty Taizong, the old ancestor, can continue to fight. If the restoration is successful, there is a chance to break through to the realm of gods and demons.

His Majesty Taizong experienced the founding war. The Great Zhou was able to rule the world. His Majesty Taizong contributed a lot. Dragon's destiny.

As a descendant of the Ji family, the best choice is to support His Majesty Taizong with all his strength.

The prince has known this for a long time, but he has always been unwilling, thinking that he can also rejuvenate the Great Zhou. Now that the defeat is certain, if he continues to struggle, it will be futile. The key is to continue to damage the power of the Great Zhou, which is against his own will mind.

Fang Changjing was silent, and stood still for a long time. Fang Changjing stood up, bowed to the prince and said, "I know your Highness's wishes."

"It's just that there is something to say."

"His Royal Highness intends to preserve the Great Zhou Dynasty, but King Jin and Saints, as well as Taizong and Gaozong did not."

"Great Zhou falls into their hands, but it is just a tool. Any high-ranking person is not a blessing to the community. Da Zhou will inevitably fail in the end."

"But the world is very afraid of His Highness. If His Highness is the crown prince, he still has a chance to survive. Now he voluntarily gives up. Not only King Jin and Taizong want to kill His Highness, but also some aristocratic families who have objections and support the Jiazi Rebellion. Your Highness will be spared."

"When he is driven away from the capital, His Highness will look for opportunities to escape, give up the identity of the clan, and keep his name incognito to save his life."

Fang Changjing looked at the prince who was indifferent, and knew that the prince would not do this. He took the overall situation into consideration and was kind, which is also the reason for supporting the prince. However, these good qualities are now all murderous.

Fang Changjing bowed again and said: "Your Highness cherishes it."

"The minister is gone."

Fang Changjing turned and left. After walking out of the East Palace, he came to a secret room.

Not long after, a school captain in armor came. Fang Changjing looked at the person who came, and then looked at the other people in the secret room, and said in a deep voice, "All those who can come here are His Highness' confidantes."

"After His Highness leaves the capital, his life must be in danger. As His Highness, he will die suddenly on the way sooner or later. Therefore, I invite you to come here to pretend to be an assassin, hijack His Highness to leave, and save His Highness's life."

"I don't ask you to do it together, just arrange some people to help me complete some preparations."

"Sir, why did you say that? Your Highness has saved my life. I don't care about mere wealth. You should give up everything to follow your highness and rescue Your Highness together."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On the second day, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Dou Changsheng is like a machine, telling the story of the disappearance of the Emperor's Seal from the beginning according to the script.

Yesterday, Dou Changsheng did not go to the six gates at all, nor did he participate in the interrogation of Lu Fang, but the six gates did not stop operating. In just one night, not only the interrogation was completed, but also the evidence Lu Fang handed over was verified.

The evidence Lu Fang handed over has no mistakes, and all of them can be verified.

The related cases were all handed over to Dou Changsheng by Dongfang Shenzhang in the morning. As the master of Suzaku Palace, he was in charge of the criminal case in Shendu. Dou Changsheng narrated.

"What excuse does the prince have?"

"The minister pleaded guilty."

The prince didn't resist at all, and knelt down on the ground directly.

Dou Changsheng stared at the prince who pleaded guilty. There was news yesterday that the prince did not intend to resist. He did not expect it to be true. This person was different from the members of the Ji clan he knew.

It is said that the Ji family is mean and ungrateful, but the prince is not resisting in order to protect many supporters. This is somewhat surprising, and I have some admiration in my heart. Zhou Yuanqi didn't want to continue the infighting, and ended the battle for the heir apparent as soon as possible.

"Your Highness."

Seeing this scene, some courtiers could not accept it. There were many people who followed suit, but there were also many loyal ones.

All of a sudden, the Hall of Supreme Harmony became chaotic, and there were loud noises. The prince knelt on the ground without saying a word. The saint lightly tapped on the armrest of the golden chair, and the noise disappeared. The saint calmly said: "The prince has lost his virtue."

"Demoted to the king of Yue, leave the capital tomorrow, and go to the fief immediately."

The crown prince kowtowed and said: "The minister takes the decree to thank you."

After getting up, he turned around and walked outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. King Chen got up slowly and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty."

"Among the princes today, only His Royal Highness King Jin is sensitive and eager to learn. The East Palace cannot be left alone for a day."

"Please."

The sage said coldly: "I'm tired, let's talk about it after King Yue leaves."

King Chen was interrupted, so he didn't go on, but changed the topic and said: "The king of Yue committed a serious crime, and His Majesty takes pity on the eldest son. It is also reasonable."

"However, His Majesty's abdication has been delayed for a long time. Please return the Jade Seal of Chuanguo first, and the cabinet will seal it, and set a date for abdication, which has reassured the hearts of the world."

King Chen's words shocked the world, but they were not earth-shattering. When the prince was still alive, he naturally needed a saint. He wanted a saint to occupy the position and prevent the prince from ascending to power. But when the prince was defeated, the saint was useless.

Now the words of King Chen, in the ears of many courtiers, are nothing more than wanting to gain a share of support.

This kind of credit is naturally not small. It can make Chen Wang secure the position of the head of the six sects, and the price paid is not big. It can be said to be a very cost-effective deal.

Many people have already regretted in their hearts, why didn't they think of this matter, and they were preempted by King Chen, and lost the biggest part of their support. Although they are not the first advocates, they may be one of them.

Especially the King Jin party was very satisfied with what King Chen said.

A courtier took the initiative to walk out and preach: "The minister seconded the proposal."

In a blink of an eye, I don't know how many courtiers supported him. Seeing this scene, the saint didn't resist, and directly said to Xu Changqing: "What do you say?"

Xu Changqing got up and said: "Your Majesty has already handed over the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to the cabinet, and announced the date of abdication."

"All of you have misunderstood Your Majesty. Recently, the cabinet has not announced the matter due to the frequent occurrence of major cases. Today, I can take this opportunity to announce to the world that Your Majesty will abdicate in seven days."

Immediately, a courtier shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

The resentment that was caused by Saint Qianyuan Burning Blood Pill for a while has weakened by half, and the saint's reputation has recovered a lot. Seeing that the saint is very satisfied, his eyes on Chen Wang are also softer.

After a court meeting ended, the Jin Royal Party was satisfied that the saint would abdicate in seven days, and the saint was also satisfied. Because of this incident, he took the initiative to save many people's hearts, which has reduced the resistance for the next regent.

However, King Chen, who walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, was also quite satisfied. The imperial jade seal, which is an imperial weapon, has now been sealed up by the cabinet. .

The unique seals laid down one after the other can be said to be impenetrable. If you want to unseal the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, all the ministers in the cabinet must be present.

After King Chen left the imperial city, he did not go to the six gates, but returned to the mansion rarely.

Ever since he became the head of the six gates, King Chen has taken the six gates as his home, sitting in the middle of the six gates, suppressing lawbreakers, preventing thugs from attacking the six gates, and returning to the mansion only a few times a month.

Chen Wang pushed open the door and walked into the front hall.

The most conspicuous thing in the hall is the knife rest, on which stands a long knife.

The shape of the long knife is peculiar, straight from the scabbard, it looks like a straight line, giving people a feeling that it looks like a sword but not a sword, or a knife but not a knife, but after careful observation, it can give the impression that it is a knife.

Standing by the knife rest, Wang Chen looked at the long knife with complicated eyes, and finally showed perseverance. He slowly reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife, and pulled out the long knife one by one.

After the long knife was unsheathed, a white line flickered.

This is a snow-white long knife, but there are gaps on the blade, and many places have collapsed. It looks like a half-waste long knife that is no longer sharp.

This is what Chen Wang got when he went out not long ago. It looks like an ordinary knife, but it is actually famous all over the world.

It's just that it hasn't started yet, and the fetish is self-defeating.

No one can know it except certain people.

Even though Chen Wang was upright and put it in the hall, it was safe and sound, without any accidents.

The plan went down step by step, without any mistakes, even if Chen Wang hoped that there would be a change, but in the end it turned out that there was no.

Chen Wang sighed quietly.

Before I knew it, I had reached this point. At the beginning, I just wanted to express my dissatisfaction.

But it was born unexpectedly, obtained by oneself.

Step by step on the road of no return.

The prince will leave the capital tomorrow.

The saints must send each other off.

You can use the blood of a saint to start the Seven Killing Emperor Hate Sword.
