Chapter 417 – The Poisonous Snake
The Inner Palace was not yet under complete control, so Eunuch Li didn’t stay long and hurriedly left. The so-called let Xue Mu and Liu Guifei meet, naturally should also wait for everything is stable again, not immediately implement things.
Xue Mu some dizziness to leave the quiet room, this is really the door of the city, house in the quiet room to see several batches of guests, but also by the way to solve the physiological needs of a trip, out of the door are a day and a night in the past, simply with Xiao Qingwu the same house.
Walked outside the courtyard, Xiao Qingwu has also left, she took on the task of treatment, of course, can not stay outside for a long time. Curry Night and Zhuo Qingqing were sitting on their knees at the edge of the flower garden, playing a game, Xue Mu stopped and stood to the side for a while, unable to stop himself from shaking his head and laughing.
With Curry Night in, he could feel like he was taking a child on a field trip at any time from the most tense and complicated situation ……
Ye Lone Shadow appeared, knelt down on one knee beside him, and said in a low voice, “Lone Shadow begs to apologize.”
“Uh? What is your sin?”
“Uncontrollably speaking out in front of people, exposing my existence, going against the rules of the line and the rules of the sect.”
“Is that even a thing? If you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have known that you had this kind of broken rule, so what’s the point of asking for a sin?”
“Because it could potentially lead to sabotaging the mission, as well as tarnishing the reputation of the Traceless Dao. As a senior member of this Sect, I teach my disciples the rules on a daily basis, and it’s all the more reason why I shouldn’t take the lead in making mistakes.”
Xue Mu froze and nodded, “That’s true, I can’t see that you’re quite self-disciplined. Alright, anyway, it’s in front of my disciple, it doesn’t matter if it’s exposed, it’s not a big deal to expose it, deduct one day’s commission, and it won’t happen again.”
Ye Guying was silent for a moment and stood up, “Yes.”
“The words come back, you no trace of the road such a long time to hide, do not move not to say, I substitute think about it to suffocate individuals, you so day after day in the end how to endure …… especially childhood is exactly the time of good activity, this is how to raise out of it?”
Ye Guying was silent again, a long time before he said, “It’s nothing more than strict punishment and cool law, rooted in the heart, long into the natural.”
Xue Mu said, “You also endured it?”
“Of course.” Ye Guying said indifferently, “My voice is hoarse, because I couldn’t help but speak out when I was a child, and suffered the punishment of tearing my vocal cords. Although cured, ultimately failed to recover.”
“Tsk …… really is a magic sect.”
Ye Guying’s gaze fell on the cheeky Curry Night and Zhuo Qingqing, eyes quite a bit complicated, whispered, “According to what I see, Star Moon Sect nowadays really does not count as a devil’s door …… It is among the righteousness of the road, such a thing of its joyfulness is also rare.”
“How is the Traceless Road daily?”
“Non-tasks do not communicate.”
After saying this, Ye Guying did not say any more, her figure gradually disappeared.
She was still behind her, and with Xue Mu’s eyesight, she could no longer be seen.
He quietly looked at the air and stared for a while before turning his head and shouting at Curry Night’s side, “Curry Night, Qing Qing, let’s go out for a walk.”
Curry Night jumped up with a cheer, “Good ah good ah, where is daddy going?”
“Take a casual stroll, the capital is very interesting right now.”
Zhuo Qingqing asked, “Is it okay to appear so brightly in the streets of the capital?”
“When we arrive at the capital, what we should know has been known for a long time, what is there to hide?” Xue Mu turned to go out the door and laughed, “I’m looking forward to which prince will be the first to approach us for contact.”
On the surface, Ji Qingyuan didn’t pass on the throne, and there was no point in how the princes themselves fought for it, but as long as there were great aspirations, they would naturally all hook up with their own potential. Otherwise, even if Ji Qingyuan passes the throne to you, without a single person recognizing it, this emperor will not be able to do it.
Even if the imperial power to the pinnacle of the world, often is not a holy decree can level everything, not to mention this kind of world with too many strong people can defy the imperial power, you do not have enough power to support is to take the way of chaos, Ji Qingyuan want to choose also simply will not choose you.
Not to mention the external power of the two paths of the devil, do the foundation of the emperor of the Great Zhou at least to obtain the recognition of the internal forces of the court, well, do not need all, as long as the support for you to reach a certain degree on the line, under the system of natural and slowly able to sit down and stabilize.
The so-called internal forces of the court, there are so many kinds:
The first is the court force representative, Department Six, the court three zong, the internal court offerings and two guards. Overall strength is very strong, although not yet enough to suppress the orthodox and demonic sects, but also enough to ensure that the change of imperial power is not subject to external constraints, as long as they are recognized, the emperor will be able to sit steadily.
Secondly, there are officials at all levels. With modern words this is the bureaucratic gentry class, the ruling foundation of the court, represented by the minister Su Duancheng, to Ye Tingsheng Zhang Bai Ling and other officials and their families as the foundation, at least in the current productivity, this kind of production relations can not be changed, even if you let the Taoist strong suppression of the world, but also have to unite these people to rule the river and mountain. What’s more, they weren’t just mouthy bookworms, in a world where even construction workers practiced martial arts, the officials were likewise of martial arts origin, and none of their families were weak in force. Although there weren’t any top-tier powerhouses, the entire dynasty and field added up to a sizable force.
Many of the businesses led by Xue Mu, music, song and dance, ring tea, are basically geared towards these people, and the grassroots can’t afford to consume and don’t have that kind of leisure time.
Officials and gentry on this side is okay, the inertia of the system here, as long as you have a normal succession qualifications rather than somehow come to a mud leg usurping the throne, naturally able to unite a number of interest community, the princes have the support of the difference is not so much as to sway the final result.
In the final analysis, or force support.
Like Shenji door cast sword valley medicine king valley these transcendent forces, pressure simply lazy to mix with the family of heaven, anyway, who came to power must rely on them as a pillar, so they will only remain neutral, basically will not stand on the stage to firmly support who.
This time, the performance of the Medicine King Valley is very obvious, just sent a medical fairy to cure the disease, the strong one is not seen, as you like. Even if you brought Xiao Qingwu on board, she can’t represent Chen Qianzhen’s intentions.
So what the princes can really fight for is also Department Six and the two guards, and at this moment, Eunuch Li blocked the palace door oil and salt, a look of loyalty only to Ji Qingyuan, that others can consider is also Department Six.
Look at Xiahou Di and Ji Ba’s close relationship, others are afraid that the heart is cold, will naturally begin to seek external assistance, and also not at this time to start, but a long time ago.
In other words, the one who colluded with Pan Kouzhi, Ji Wuyou’s suspicion is not absent, but relatively light. And the other princes, in order to fight against him, had relatively high suspicions.
“So Xiahou Di isn’t all public-spirited, is she ……” Zhuo Qingqing sighed, “She really shouldn’t have such obvious tendencies in her position.”
“She was probably the closest to Ji Wuyou before she became Chief Arrestor, and Ji Qingyuan still chose her for the position, and has her own considerations.” Xue Mu smiled, “She can’t just draw a line with Ji Wuyou once she’s on the throne, Xiahou Di isn’t the type to make a show of it.”
Curry Night raised her hand to ask a question, “Could it be that Ji Qingyuan is optimistic about Ji Wuyou?”
Xue Mu thought about it and suddenly lost his smile, “I suspect that what Ji Qingyuan really favors is Ji Wuyou.”
“Eh?” Curry Night Zhuo Qingqing both froze, “That fatty is pretty incompetent, right?”
“But Ji Qingyuan actually gave him the authority to mobilize the Formation of Curtain Heaven and a number of war puppets, that should be a sign, I haven’t seen any other imperial prince with this kind of treatment.” Xue Mu laughed, “I heard that the one who used to be the most vocal in the hearts of the officials was also Ji Wu Yu?”
Zhuo Qingqing said, “Yes, after all, the first eldest son, there are still quite a few people who ate this, and Ji Wuyou did a good job of being a simple man on weekdays. But since hanging out with the Acacia Sect, the popularity rating has dropped a lot.”
Xue Mu sighed: “He not only mixes with the Acacia Sect …… Lone Shadow.”
Behind him came Ye Lone Shadow’s response, “In.”
“Ji Wu Yu hired your Traceless Dao to assassinate me, do you know?”
“I know. And it was me who took the order.”
“…… Then thank you very much.”
“At that time, I thought that the alliance master was a good-for-nothing white boy, so it was my blunder to send a lowly disciple.”
“Can you chat?”
Ye Lushang didn’t say anything.
Xue Mu didn’t care about her anymore either, and said faintly, “At one time, I thought it was quite stupid for Ji Wuyou to do this, but later I woke up to the fact that Ji Wuyou’s association with the Devil Sect might have really felt a little bit of his father’s pulse. Because Ji Qingyuan’s life boils down to one main thing he’s done in addition to his schizophrenic retarded moves ……”
Zhuo Qingqing interjected, “Checking and balancing the righteous path?”
“Right. So it’s a matter of route, talent is already secondary. Compared to other imperial princes who only talked and laughed with the righteous path, if Ji Qingyuan had wanted to choose a crown prince at that time, it would have been Ji Wuyou.” Xue Mu paused for a moment and then whispered, “And Ji Wuwu’s dealing with Qingqiu was instigated by Pan Kouzhi …… I look back at this time and am suspicious that this was someone’s scheme to remove Ji Wuwu with the help of a sword. If that’s the case, this opponent would be the most deeply hidden viper I’ve ever seen in my life.”
