The emperor is hard-hearted and doesn't care about people dying in the "big exam". But there are also prerequisites and bottom lines.
The bottom line is that Xuanhai realm monks are not allowed to directly interfere with the "big exam".
All killings must not involve the common people. This is the premise.
Previously, King Jing and King Qian were imprisoned by the furious emperor because their fight affected innocent people. However, he did not expect that King Qian died in prison.
Then King Jin, who had been lurking for many years, showed up and was found out by the Xuanqing Guards to be directly related to King Qian's death. King Qian might even be the one who had been manipulated by King Yang Wenguang of Jin. At that time, Yang Xiusheng said that he would take action to deal with King Jin, but the emperor stopped him and even regarded this as a temporary increase in the difficulty of the "big test".
Although the emperor was heartbroken at the death of King Qian, subconsciously, he was a waste who couldn't even save his life and was not qualified to inherit the throne.
This attempt was dangerous, but the emperor had confidence in his sons. He believed that some of his sons could detect dangers in crisis-ridden environments and deal with them appropriately.
In addition, Heishui under the Xuanqing Guard has made many achievements, and the emperor has almost put Jin Wang Yang Wenguang under his nose. Is he still afraid of any accidents?
Yang Xiu Sheng thought for a moment and did not answer the emperor's question about whether the Ministry of Punishment was useless. Instead, he started another conversation and said: "Although Prince Jin did not do it himself this time, he must have given the order. Are you really looking at it like this? Two are already dead, and you only have seven sons."
Although the royal "big test" is bloody, at least one person will be left in the end. It's hard to say what King Jin's purpose is. What if his intention is to kill everyone?
"No. Yang Wenguang will not show up just for simple revenge. He must have other plans."
"What's the plan?"
The emperor shook his head, was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Do you think Yang Wenguang will have a son after running to the City of Fusi for so many years?"
Will Yang Wenguang have a son? !
Hearing this, Yang Xiu Sheng's whole body was filled with excitement. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the emperor soaking in the water with complicated eyes. After a while, he said: "You have thought of it a long time ago? Is this the reason why you have been unwilling for me to touch Prince Jin?"
Yang Jian leaned his head back and leaned on the soft pillow. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Yang Xiu Sheng aside. The corners of his mouth raised slightly and said, "This is just one of the reasons. It is only for this reason that Yang Wenguang dared to get involved in the "big test". Otherwise, even if he has grudges against me, he will never dare to challenge me in the "big exam"."
Yang Xiu Sheng took a deep breath before saying: "Do you think King Jin wants to kill all your sons, and then expose his own son and force you to help his son ascend to the throne? Isn't he afraid of death?"
"Death? Haha, uncle, who in the direct lineage of the royal family is afraid of death? Yang Wenguang escaped death back then. He has already made enough money after surviving for decades, so how can he be afraid of death? He just wants to win once. .
Pity. I knew what he thought was a safe and thoughtful arrangement from the beginning. Now that there is this "black water" and the analysis is clear and logical, I will see how he continues to play the tricks behind him. "
The emperor was not in a hurry, but Yang Xiu Sheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to find out the possible heirs of King Jin?"
"Of course. After all, I am of royal blood. How can I hide it? Besides, Yang Wenguang did not die that year, which is my omission. Not only will he die this time, but all the descendants of his lineage, no matter how many, will die with him. It’s good to be clean so that I can have a lot of company along the way.”
Find them and kill them all. The affairs of this life will be settled in this life, leaving no burden for future generations. This may be what Yang Jian really thinks.
"Any clues?"
"Not yet, but we should be able to see some clues soon." After a pause, he raised his hand and asked the eunuch waiting at the side to give him a cup of herbal tea. He took a sip and then continued: "Once King Lu dies, what will happen to him?" Deliberately not leaving traces at the scene so that the Ministry of Justice can’t investigate, this is setting a fire. As long as the fire starts and the weeds are burned away, the things hidden in the weeds will come out.”
Yang Xiu Sheng didn't understand and asked: "Lighting up the fire?"
"Yes, start the fire."
"This... How can we cause fire if we deliberately don't leave any clues this time?" Yang Xiusheng is really not good at this kind of twists and turns. His thinking is not the same as that of the emperor. According to his opinion, if Jin Wang Yang Wenguang wanted to set someone on fire, he should have deliberately hidden two clues for people to find when he was involved in the Wang case, and then used them as guiding targets.
How can a case like this deliberately left unanswered cause fire?
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Uncle, I understand why my father recommended you to be the leader of Fenghong Villa. You are really not good at strategizing."
"Policy is indeed not my strong point. Just tell me, and I'll listen to the calculations." Yang Xiu Sheng didn't mind. In his cultivation, character is a compulsory course. Looking directly at his own shortcomings is not a big deal for him. What, besides, the emperor didn’t mean any harm, it was all a joke, and he also wanted to hear what the twists and turns were.
"I killed King Qian before and then put the blame on King Lu. King Lu deserved it because he lacked defense and was tricked by others. So I asked him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, just to see if he could save his own life. You know this situation now. Only by living can you see more opportunities. He also somewhat understands that it is honest to stay at the front door and not take another step forward. But he lost his life because of one action of the Spirit King."
"Spirit King? Are you really related to the Spirit King?"
"That's right. King Ling must have discovered that there was something wrong with the identities of the Yang Wenguang disciples under his command, and he alienated them at the same time. At this point, I didn't expect that King Ling was actually the financial backer behind Yueying Tower. What a trick!
Ahem... King Ling didn't know that his knock on Yueying Tower actually hit Yang Wenguang's body, and made Yang Wenguang feel a threat. That's why he killed King Lu who had "lost power" and lit a fire.
I have to say that this fire was lit very well! King Lu is currently the weakest and most harmless. Even if he died, it would not have much impact on the other people in the "big test". But the problem is that King Lu's death has no direction.
The lack of directivity means it could be you or me, and you can put it on whomever you want. As long as there is a tacit understanding, you can push this burning fire to the person you want.
Who is the most unpopular person in the imperial city and the one who makes others feel threatened the most? "
"Spirit King Beam!"
Yang Xiu Sheng suddenly felt like he understood.
And Yang Jian continued: "That's right. So once the Ministry of Punishment fails to produce results, in order to keep up with the pace of the military war in the south, my sons will definitely use the death of King Lu to make a fuss against King Ling.
Once the fight started, if something happened to the Spirit King, wouldn't Yang Wenguang's tail be "hidden" by him again? "
