Chapter 327: Coup
"Hey, this is..." Feng Jiuqing instinctively made a sound of confusion, and subconsciously stepped aside half a body. Xiao Yibai, who was behind the light mirror, casually adjusted the angle of the mirror. He wanted to wipe his face.
There was blood on his clothes, but the blood was still wet on his hands, so he had to pinch the corners of his clothes and rub them casually. Then he waved to his dumbfounded brother behind the light mirror and said hello: "Why is it you? Okay.
Suddenly a light mirror came on, which startled me."
Xiao Yibai's face still had the same careless smile as before, as if the blood all over the ground around him didn't exist anymore. Xiao Qianye looked behind him with a solemn look, observing the surrounding environment, it should be in Wanluo Hall of Tianyu City, since
After the temple collapsed, Emperor Tianzun ordered all the remaining ruins to be demolished, leaving only the Wanluo Hall at the bottom as a place of worship for important festivals. However, Emperor Tianzun also served as the master of the Mo Pavilion during his period as the crown prince.
, likes to handle government affairs in Mo Pavilion, and this habit has been retained to this day, so the Wanluo Hall after the collapse was actually only slightly repaired, and he did not go there often.
Xiao Qianye couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the current sky. The afterglow of the setting sun was still shining on the snow peaks. According to this hour, Feiyuan should not be completely dark yet, and the top of Wanluo Hall was originally the temple.
Now that the whole thing has collapsed, there is actually no roof, but I don’t know why it looks dim in the light mirror. Only a few special spirit stone wall lamps were destroyed and fell to the ground. Through these weak lights, I can barely see clearly.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Qianye felt uneasy. His eldest brother should have been confined to the Heart-Sealing Platform. Why did he suddenly run to Wanluo Palace? Looking at the blood stains all over his body, he seemed to have experienced something.
There was a big fight. Xiao Yibai naturally knew what he wanted to ask. He simply stretched out his hand to drag the light mirror and walked a few steps to the side. Xiao Qianye was surprised to see the other two people not far away. Mingxi was sitting there.
On the throne, his face looked pale and even revealed a faint purple color. He stretched out one hand to expose his arm. Gongsun Yan stood beside him. The short knife in his hand quickly cut a few cuts on Ming Xi's arm, and then commanded around him.
Seven or eight flying butterflies came forward to suck.
"Are you poisoned?" He whispered, and the green butterflies flapped their wings and sucked out the lavender blood from Ming Xi's wounds. But after a while, his whole body glowed with a ghostly purple light. Gongsun Yan glanced at this
The person who hadn't seen him for a long time was obviously in a bad mood. He didn't care that the person in front of him was his lord, so he scolded him loudly: "Is it fun? I already told them that they have different intentions. Let Feng Mo deal with it in private.
It's good for you, but you just wanted to play Hongmen Banquet with them, and you almost fell into it. Do you still think it's fun now?"
Although Emperor Tianzun was the king of a country, he just looked coldly and allowed his subordinates to curse endlessly in his ears until Xiao Yibai couldn't stand it anymore and went over to block Gongsun Yan's mouth, and forcibly took him aside. Gongsun Yan
Still wanting to complain, Xiao Yibai pointed to the opposite side of the light mirror and said calmly: "You see clearly, my brother is not the only one opposite."
Gongsun Yan took another serious look. Feng Jiuqing stood behind Xiao Qianye and stared at them with curiosity. As expected, his face suddenly became serious and he did not dare to say a word.
Already.
Feng Jiuqing's eyes were blurred and she laughed softly: "Oh...it's a shame that you are his brother. Otherwise, if we had opened the mirror rashly, we might have seen something invisible."
Mingxi snorted coldly and replied nonchalantly: "The struggle for imperial power has been dangerous since ancient times. How can there be no shame in seeing someone? It's just that I won this round. Otherwise, if the regime changes, it will not be of any benefit to you.
"
Feng Jiuqing glanced at Feiyuan's emperor with admiration. He still looked as sickly and weak as when he was the crown prince, but the luster in his eyes made his heart suddenly feel chilly even from a long distance away.
Ming Xi glanced at the person who finally calmed down, with a hint of sadness on his face, and then slowly and unhurriedly said to Xiao Qianye: "When you came back last time, I already received a secret report saying that
It was Gao Zhanping, the captain of the Fourth Team of the Forbidden Army, who had a secret meeting with Ming Ye, the younger brother of the Second Emperor. You should know Gao Zhanping, right? He and Gao Jingping of the Second Team of the Forbidden Army were brothers. After Gao Jingping died inexplicably in Bei'an City, although Gao Chengchuan, the Governor of the Forbidden Army, did not pursue too much.
, but he has always been worried about it. In fact, the senior officials in the imperial capital knew that I was involved in the North Coast City matter, and they did not dare to delve deeper. Gao Zhanping must have been dissatisfied with me for a long time, so he wanted to take advantage of the fragmentation.
Let’s try to win over Ming Ye and stage a coup.”
Xiao Qianye was shocked and raised his head suddenly. He never thought that such a dangerous thing would come out of his mouth like a joke. Mingxi saw the look of surprise on his face, but he himself was extremely calm, with pale golden eyes.
His eyes were still filled with strategizing light, and he continued: "In the two months since you disappeared inexplicably, even though I told the world about the disaster Feiyuan was about to face, many people still didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until the Dongming tragedy happened that they understood
It turned out that everything was true. The first thing the ministers did was to meet with them and ask me to severely punish Xiao Yibai as a warning to others. However, I rejected it several times. The ministers were dissatisfied and did not dare to say anything.
, I actually knew this early on."
Mingxi paused, shook his head helplessly and sighed. Xiao Qianye didn't say much. After all, he was the initiator of that incident, and his eldest brother would be implicated no matter what. He knew that Mingxi grounded his eldest brother just to protect him, but like this
How can excuses like this stabilize public sentiment?
"It was at this time that Gao Zhanping found the second emperor's younger brother Ming Ye. I guess he wanted to persuade him to usurp the throne. After all, even though Feiyuan's surname is too high to sit on the throne, it is still worth trying to support a puppet to control the princes.
, do you think so?" Mingxi asked him deliberately. Xiao Qianye once again looked at the blood on the ground through the light mirror. Suddenly, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He clenched his fists nervously and slowly, lowly
Asked: "So they chose to attack you in Wanluo Palace? Could it be that the poison on your body was also caused by the second prince?"
Ming Xi did not reply directly, but gave Gongsun Yan a look, signaling him to bring over the dark stuff on the ground not far away. Gongsun Yan pursed his lips and walked over with a look of reluctance. He didn't even think about his waist.
Wan directly picked up the thing with his toes and kicked it lightly, then held it with two fingers in disgust and walked to the front of the light mirror. In an instant, Xiao Qianye felt as if a basin of cold water was pouring down from his head, and it was cold to his feet.
A chill ran up his back unconsciously, and there was a lump in his throat. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and almost vomited it out.
"Ha... I haven't seen you for a while. Pavilion Master Xiao can't bear to see blood?" Ming Xi mocked half-jokingly, but he looked at the sticky thing in Gongsun Yan's hand with ease, which was a cut off human body.
The human head was filled with thick and dirty blood from the severed throat, and was stained with some kind of white viscous liquid. The seven orifices were hollowed out, and the hair was messy and stuck to the face that had long lost its appearance. He sighed.
After taking a breath, he took the head from Gongsun Yan and placed it gently on his knees. He gently arranged his hair with his hands and sighed lightly, "I haven't often interacted with my younger siblings since I was a child, but honestly speaking,
I have never done anything to harm them, but as for him, he was actually bewitched by an outsider, and he really stupidly wanted to poison me. It's a pity, it's a pity..."
As he spoke, the strength in his hands gradually increased. What was originally a gentle rubbing to arrange his hair turned into ruthless tearing in an instant. He added: "Pavilion Master Xiao may not know that today is actually my birthday, but right now
Feiyuan has just experienced a catastrophic disaster. It is not allowed to sing and entertain, so I gave up the matter. However, my second emperor brother insisted on giving me a surprise and invited me to come to Wanluo Hall for a reunion, so I came and took the meeting.
You also saw what happened."
Mingxi looked at the head in front of him quietly. Although he couldn't see clearly in the dim light, he felt something extremely dazzling, which made his eyes unbearably painful. He continued talking to himself: "He arranged
A stunning dance music from an exotic land was played. When the dancer waved her sleeves, she spilled the colored powder hidden in her sleeves, which was then transformed into light smoke with the help of spiritual power. It really seemed to be able to burn the surrounding air.
The colorful paintings make people feel like they are in a magical place. Hey, if it weren't for the hallucinogenic poison in the smoke, I would actually quite like this gift."
Ming Xi smiled. This smile seemed tender, but in fact it was cold and emotionless: "Then he came to toast me, saying words like brothers, and served me the poisoned wine without changing his expression.
.”
Xiao Qianye opened his mouth. Although he hesitated, he did not ask in the end. Emperor Tianzun was a naturally vigilant person. How could he not bring his attendants with him and drink the poisonous wine without any precaution? He could not be so negligent.
Unless...unless he did it on purpose from the beginning.
"I did it on purpose." Ming Xi saw what he was thinking at a glance, and threw the human head aside, raised his hand and waved away a few underworld butterflies on his arms and stood up. In fact, on his luxurious palace clothes,
It was also stained with blood. He must have been watching from a very close place when the rebels were being purged. He added, "The guards of Wanluo Palace were replaced by Gao Zhanping. They wanted to imitate their father and force the palace back then, thinking that
This will leave me with no way out, but they forgot one thing. Those poisons were developed by King Binding Water Prison. Gao Zhanping has a way to get them, but there is nothing I can do? Huh, it's really ridiculous."
Xiao Qianye took a deep breath and finally heard the other person mention the most important name, and calmly continued: "Gao Zhanping dared to conspire with the second prince to murder the Holy Emperor. This crime is enough to punish the entire clan. I don't know where he is now.
,How does Your Majesty plan to deal with it?"
Mingxi thought for a while, and seemed not to be in a hurry, and said slowly: "Gao Zhanping himself is very smart. In fact, he has not come to Wanluo Hall at all. At this time, he has not received the signal of success, and he has probably run away.
Well, the power of the Gao family is complicated. Even if Gao Chengchuan has been eliminated by my design, I have weighed the pros and cons for a long time and finally failed to kill all those behind him. Gao Zhanpingyuan is the captain of the fourth team of the Forbidden Army, but because of the fifth team of the Forbidden Army in the early years,
After the captain Gao Beiyang died in the Jingcheng Incident, he had been managing Jialuo and Yangchuan on his behalf. Later, Gao Shumang, the first detachment stationed in the capital, died unexpectedly. He suddenly had the power of the Forbidden Army, and his ambitions could no longer be suppressed.
.”
"Gao Chengchuan did something that even Gao Chengchuan didn't have the guts to do. It's really impressive." Xiao Qianye couldn't help but mocked. That guy was overestimating his abilities. Did he really think that Ming Xi was like this?
Is it lucky that a person who looks weak and weak can ascend to the throne? The more harmless a person looks, the more deadly he will be at the critical moment. He doesn't even understand this basic truth and dares to incite others.
The prince's coup, doesn't this give Mingxi an upright excuse to eradicate the forces behind the Gao family in one fell swoop?
