Besides, if such a huge scandal broke out on the old emperor, his throne would definitely be unstable.
Speaking out now is tantamount to jumping out in advance to be a target or being used as cannon fodder. This is another reason why civil servants are silent.
Now, it is no longer important who spread the rumor, or in other words, this answer is of no use to everyone. The only person who cares about this matter is no one else except the old emperor.
For Su Ming, the current situation is just right for him to fish in troubled waters.
He has been in charge of the Xuanjing Division for quite some time, and all the secret guards of the Xuanjing Division at the capital headquarters have been brainwashed by his selfless Sanskrit sounds, and have had their memories read by him, becoming loyal to him.
No matter which side they were from before, they were only loyal to Su Ming now. In the past, Su Ming did not believe in loyalty. True loyalty was the kind that lost his mind and would die if someone wanted him to.
However, the conditions for making his subordinates loyal are too harsh and the price is too high. However, the selfless mantra easily controlled them and made them surrender.
Therefore, without everyone knowing, Su Ming quietly took control of the Xuanjing Division in the capital. He controlled both the people of the old emperor and the Crown Prince Qi. Through this, he also gained got a lot of important information.
In this information, he sorted out many important secrets.
For example, in the capital city now, in addition to Su Ming, who is a Yuan Shen monk, there are no less than ten Yuan Shen monks. These are the monks who were there when the Great Zhou Dynasty swept the world.
Some were born in the Xuanjing Division, and some joined later. Now they are all retreating in various secret realms of Dazhou, secretly guarding Dazhou.
In addition, there are several Yuanshen in the palace, which are the foundation of Dazhou.
It is precisely with so many multi-spiritual monks that the Great Zhou can sweep across the world of immortality. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Ling Xuzi and Tie Hanyi were back then, they would not be able to support the entire Great Zhou.
Of course, there are many secrets about the old emperor and the crown prince, Prince Qi, but they are of no use to Su Ming and can only be used as a reference.
After all, so many years have passed, and those things about sesame seeds and rotten millet do not have much practical significance. They just made Su Ming understand them better.
However, what makes Su Ming strange is that the memories of these people more than forty years ago are blurred, as if they have been deliberately erased. Moreover, without exception, their memories of the forty years in Shenwu are also blank.
The forty years of Shenwu were precisely the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty's split and the beginning of the country's slow decline in national power.
Thinking of this, a complex look flashed in Su Ming's eyes. What happened in Shenwu's forty years may be more mysterious than he imagined, so the old emperor did not hesitate to cleanse everyone's memories.
Yes, it is everyone’s memory.
Ever since he spread his demonic thoughts in the capital, the information he has obtained from the people has been like this. Everything back then has been covered up, and no information can be found at all, as if that period of history is blank.
He even discovered that even after he unified the three major sects in southern Xinjiang, the message was the same and he could not find any useful information at all.
However, this made him very strange. Such a big event happened in the forty years of Shenwu. According to common sense, the world of immortal cultivation should have records, but none of the sects had records. It seemed that nothing happened that year. ,How can this be?
Even Emperor Shenwu couldn't unify his stance and erase the memories of all the monks. The only ones in the world of immortality who can do this are the three major sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon.
The three sects joining forces are enough to suppress all sects and races in the world, and only the three sects have the strength to erase the memories of the sect monks.
But why did the three sects cooperate with Da Zhou to conceal what happened in the forty years of Shenwu? What happened that year, and what roles did Dazhou and Sanzong play?
While Su Ming was deep in thought, he thought about the current situation. Perhaps, he could see some clues from what was happening now.
He dared to conclude that there must be a tacit understanding between Dazhou and the three major sects, and the revelation of the Human Demon Pill incident would definitely break this tacit understanding.
At that time, he will be able to find out what happened back then, who Ling Xuzi and Tie Hanyi are, and what they did back then.
After thinking about this, the haze that enveloped Su Ming's heart finally turned to him. He looked in the direction of the imperial city and murmured to himself, "The wind has picked up, and it's just right now."
······
Prince's Mansion.
In the past few days, the atmosphere in the prince's residence has been very unusual. Ever since the news that His Majesty had taken the Human Demon Pill reached the Prince's Mansion, Li Xian locked himself in the room and did not come out for several days.
There was no light in the dark room, nothing could be seen.
On the bed, Li Xian was lying on the bed wearing a single coat, looking at the roof with a pair of drunken eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The room was filled with a strong smell of wine, and no matter how nice the incense was, it couldn't cover it up.
The floor was covered with wine jars, and a lot of wine was spilled on the bed.
Li Nian has not slept for several days and nights. Over the past few days, he has tried to numb himself with alcohol, but he failed.
He just lay on the bed like this, drinking nothing but drinking. Of course, although Li Xian likes to read, it does not mean that he does not understand martial arts. At that time, he was also a prince who was capable of literature and martial arts, and won the praise of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
Even his father once commented on him, "He is just like me in bravery and bravery." This is such a great inspiration for a prince. But what happened next disappointed him.
From then on, he gave up martial arts, concentrated on studying, and did not have anything to do with military commanders, thinking that this would eliminate his father's suspicion. But not long after, the father pushed his second brother Li Nian out to fight with him in the ring.
For so many years, he has been holding back and never gave up, because he is the prince.
But now, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Although he is a prince, he is a prince who has been a prince for more than sixty years, which is unprecedented in ancient times. Over the years, he could feel that his body was constantly weakening, his energy and blood were constantly declining, and his energy was gradually not as good as before.
He knows that he is old.
However, he knew better that his father was older and in worse health than him, so he still had a chance.
But after the Human Demon Pill incident was revealed, he realized how naive and stupid he had been in the past. Being drunk for a while could not solve the problem, so in the past few days, he had already hatched a crazy plan.
If this plan fails, it will be successful. The best result is that he and his good father will die together. The worst result is that the entire Zhou Dynasty collapses and is destroyed.
As for the throne, he doesn't care.
Now, to him, the throne is no longer important.
