Kotetsu Yuune's later reminder is very important to the Gotei 13, revealing some of the true nature of the Zanpakutō abilities displayed by Aizen.
Although Aizen didn't fight Unohana Retsu, but... he defeated Hitsugaya Toshiro in one move!
Apparently Aizen had been hiding his strength before, especially the true ability of his Zanpakuto, and Kotetsu Yuune informed everyone of this.
Hearing that Captain Hitsugaya was seriously injured so easily, other captains would naturally become vigilant, and the reason why Hinamori was mentioned... was probably out of selfish motives!
It is important to emphasize that Hinamori and Aizen are not "co-conspirators".
Hitsugaya was seriously injured, and it was just a humiliation...
And Hinamori Momo is not only Aizen's vice-captain, but she was already under heavy suspicion, and at least she was charged with unknown identity. Not long ago, Hinamori seriously injured Captain Ukitake at the instigation of Aizen!
Now the truth is revealed, Aizen is the culprit. If it is not emphasized again, Hinamori and Aizen are not accomplices, I am afraid that she will also suffer [double death].
However, among the Shifengyuan clan, a group of nobles did not pay attention to the following information. In their view, this was just a treacherous and unruly person coming out of the Gotei 13 team's mud legs, and they were left to deal with it themselves. Well, what’s really worth noting is…
All forty-six houses of Zhenyang were destroyed?
Although many nobles in the "Golden Seal Nobles' Council" disdain the small nobles who have forty-six sage seats but have no seats in the "Golden Seal Nobles' Council", but... there are also many nobles who have seats on both sides. of!
For a moment, everyone was in confusion, the capable people had their own calculations, and the fools were panicked...
At this moment, Yagyu Yuju's words of "talking to himself" diverted the attention of all the nobles back to the present - about the selection of the successor to the head of the Shifengyuan clan.
The original two choices were nothing more than "inheritance based on merit" and "inheritance by blood". Among them, Ichiryu supported the latter, preparing to re-support Yushiro who was a direct descendant of the original clan, and Taichi Gujiu supported it. former……
But now the situation has suddenly changed!
From the family governor to the four elders, the first four successors are now declared dead.
If we follow the "merit-based inheritance system", then the successors should be... the five elders and the four maple courtyard one dragon!
Yilong's blood relationship is actually very peripheral, and it is completely different from the usurpation of direct lineage by Shifengyuan Taiyi.
You can tell by looking at their skin color that Taiyi and his three sons are all still dark-skinned, while Yilong already has red lips and white teeth.
Generally speaking, nobles would not accept such a sideline to succeed the family head. Even if it is a "merit-based inheritance system", everyone knows that such sidelines will be tacitly suppressed.
But now...
too suddenly!
The head of the family and the top four heirs were suddenly wiped out, leaving no chance to change!
Zheng——
While everyone was stunned, Yilong suddenly drew his sword and put it directly on Zangsuke's neck - although this person was only a "butler", he was Taichi's confidant.
Yilong had also observed before that at this time Taiyi's old desire to unite was tied to this person.
"Captain Yilong!"
"Wait a minute..."
All the nobles were startled at this time, and Kuchiki Masumi and Yagyu Yuki quickly stopped.
Yilong had no intention of sheathing his sword. Instead, he asked Zangsuke: "Zangsuke! You are a retainer of Sifengyuan. There is no room for you to comment on the matters of the head of the family. But since you must say it, I will give it to you." Your last chance to say... Which side do you support, seeking meritorious deeds and disrupting government, or restoring orthodoxy?"
The young Zangsuke's lips were trembling at this moment - if it were before, even if the Ichiryu Sword was placed on his neck, he would definitely support the "death" of the head of the Tai family.
But now...
The choice becomes supporting Ichiryu or supporting Yushiro?
What's the point?
"Or, you want to support the crowd and cause chaos!" Seeing his hesitation, Yilong immediately raised his blade.
"Zangsuke! You, you are talking! How can you let the position of the head of the family..." Master Ze was completely confused at this time and started shouting, but the people monitoring the troops had already gathered around him.
Facing Yilong's murderous eyes, Zangsuke choked out something in his throat: "I...I support the merit calculation, and the head of the family should be..."
Zangsuke understood that the situation was over, so he might as well obey Yilong first and worry about it later.
"Wait!" Tsunayashiro interrupted immediately.
However, before he could say anything, Zangsuke suddenly felt himself flying up, and Master Ze, who was originally behind him, turned upside down with a look of horror on his face...
Then something seemed to hit my head...
Ah, it's the ground...
When Zangsuke saw his headless back, Zangsuke finally came to his senses.
At this time, Yilong shook off the blood that was lightly applied amidst the exclamations around him, and then said in a cold voice: "The head of the Ye family is missing. Yushiro should be the 23rd generation head of the Sifengyuan family. If there is another Anyone who dares to speak out and cause trouble will be killed without mercy!"
Yoruichi is the 22nd generation head of the family, and before that Taichi was the 23rd generation head...
Now Yilong will undoubtedly not only fight for the legitimate heir, but also bring Taiyi's lineage into the ranks of "committing rebellion"!
If Ichiryu had killed Zangsuke without authorization before the news of the destruction of the "Forty-sixth Chamber of Mao" came, it would have been enough to trigger repression from the "Golden Seal Noble Council", but now...
It was you, Zangsuke, who said that you would support the "merit ranking system". Doesn't that mean you support Yilong's rise to the top?
When the dragon killed him, it was the master of the family who killed his own retainers or even his own slaves. For the nobles who had nothing to do with it, this was not a crime at all. It was completely different in nature from killing him half a quarter of an hour ago. .
At the same time, the death of Zangsuke completely dispelled Taiyi's old intention of counterattack...
Tsunayashiro Hideo just said "嘁" with a livid face at this time, knowing that the arrangements at Shifengyuan's house were in vain!
Just now when Zangsuke showed weakness to Ichiryu in disguise, Tsunayashiro Hideo wanted to stir things up, but now Ichiryu directly killed Zangsuke and Ting Yushiro, suddenly making the position of the head of the family no longer in doubt.
When Taiyi was still worried about the old days, some clan members who responded quickly bowed down in the direction of Yushiro and Ichiryu: "Greetings to the master of the family!"
Then the voice of "Meet the Master" swept through the courtyard one by one...
Anyone present who is not stupid has already understood that it is not "those who support the merit-based inheritance will be killed without mercy", but "those who disobey Yilong will be killed without mercy", no matter what the name is!
Ichiryu chose to support Yushiro, on the one hand, because if he were the head of the family, he would not be able to take care of the Forty-sixth Chamber and the Gotei 13. Without the title of family head, Yushiro would find it difficult to even be a "sage", and the four The head of Maple Court can be the "judge". On the other hand, it also prevents Yoruichi from having to fight with him. Anyway, Yushiro completely obeys Yilong's arrangements...
"Thank you all members of the Golden Seal Noble Council for coming to Sifengyuan's house to bear witness. However, the position of the head of our family has been vacant for hundreds of years. Today, we have finally returned to the orthodoxy. There are still many matters to deal with, so I will not stay for long. In seven days, I’ll invite you all to a banquet again, and I hope you’ll enjoy it then.”
Yilong then directly said goodbye.
Seeing that the matter of the head of the Sifengyuan family was no longer in suspense, the nobles of the Golden Seal Noble Council did not stay for a long time - after all, when they came, only one of the Sifengyuan family died. Now that they know about the forty-sixth room, Many nobles also have funerals in their own homes!
Only Yagyu Yuju specifically warned Yilong before leaving: "This time the Seireitei suffered a sudden change, the Sifengyuan family suffered particularly heavy losses. It is not appropriate to have any further setbacks..."
He secretly warned Ichiryu not to go on a killing spree, but Ichiryu responded indifferently and just said: "Thank you very much, Master Yagyu, for your concern. From now on, our clan will handle the affairs of the Shifengyuan clan."
