I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World Chapter 40

"The youngest son-in-law knows that he is wrong. In the future, it will be entirely up to the father-in-law to make decisions."

Zhao Xian looked ashamed. Since he was a child, Emperor Hongchang said he was inherently stupid and unusable.

After becoming an adult, Zhao Xian always wanted to prove himself by doing things, but ended up in a confinement.

"My old bones can't hold up for long. When His Royal Highness takes a firm seat, I'll beg for the bones to go home for old age."

Zhang Zhengyang has been calculating gains and losses all his life. He always seeks good fortune and avoids evil and plans for a long time. At the end of his life, he violated his heart in the matter of his children.

In his opinion, pushing Zhao Xian to the top is not a good thing, the bad thing is that his eldest son is the blood of the Zhang family.

Even the most generous emperor in the world cannot tolerate a foreign surname. He has been in charge of the state for two consecutive generations. At that time, it is difficult to say whether the surname of Fengyang is Zhao or Zhang.

On the other hand, following the emperor's last edict, the Zhang family is still a prominent local family no matter how lonely it is.

Once he participates in manipulating the change of the throne, even if he wins a great victory in front of him, it will also lay the foundation for the genocide in the future.

Zhao Xian noticed that Zhang Zhengyang's expression was changing, and he asked, "Father-in-law, when will we start? The longer we delay, the more stable my brother's throne will be."

"This matter can't be urgent. The biggest stain of His Highness right now is the decree of the former emperor to be dismissed. The former emperor's posthumous title is Xuan, and the history books of the country have appointed Hongchang Zhongxing. Who dares to go against his sentence before his death?"

Zhang Zhengyang must clarify this matter with Zhao Xian, lest he act without authorization and ruin the plan: "So now that His Highness overthrew Zhao Yuan and ascended the throne as emperor, it is difficult to get the clan's approval."

Zhao Xian said eagerly, "How should this be done?"

"Wait!"

Zhang Zhengyang said: "Wait for Zhao Yuan to take action and destroy the kings of Chu, Han and Jing, and then take action to overthrow them."

Zhao Xian asked suspiciously, "Then the clan will recognize me?"

"At that time, His Highness will be the only heir of the late emperor. No matter the clan or the court, you will have to hold your nose to recognize him."

Zhang Zhengyang said: "The dignified king of Zhongxing, who has the eldest son in the family, but let the side branches join the great line, will definitely be reprimanded for being unfaithful and unfilial in the history books!"

Zhao Xian asked, "Can Zhao Yuan get such a ruthless hand?"

"The first emperor's six sons, but Zhao Yuan is suspicious and ruthless by nature, and he has always acted in a ruthless manner, and he must be reported. Otherwise, why would I choose him for no reason?"

Zhang Zhengyang said: "Of course, character is only a prerequisite, and there are follow-up means, which leads Zhao Yuan to kill the three kings."

Zhao Xian asked for advice, "Please also ask your father-in-law to clarify your doubts."

"A few days ago, rumors were raging in Beijing, and all the prefectures were recruiting experts from all over the world, and I was pushing behind the scenes..."

Seeing Zhao Xian's dazed appearance, Zhang Zhengyang rubbed his forehead helplessly, so he had to continue explaining.

"The purpose of this is to create an illusion. One is that there are few experts in the world and it is difficult to recruit them, and the other is that experts can decide the outcome of a small-scale victory and defeat, and the hidden meaning is that it is conducive to the fight for the throne."

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhao Xian said, "My son-in-law heard about this, and he also sent people to recruit a few experts."

Zhang Zhengyang raised his brows and said several names: "Hong Hua, Wang Yizhang, Mercy Monk, Qu Laodao..."

Zhao Xian's face was flushed, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this was Zhang Zhengyang's.

"Others are also like His Highness, following the trend to recruit experts everywhere, and I heard that some people even promised titles!"

Zhang Zhengyang said slowly: "Dare to make such a promise, you must have great ambitions. Seeing this in the palace, you have to follow the recruitment, lest the masters of various prefectures enter and leave the palace arbitrarily and endanger Zhao Yuan's safety."

Zhao Xian looked blank. What does this have to do with seizing the throne?

"Confucians like Liang and Xie have long been foolish in reading and reading, and they will never bend down to see the grass, so this errand will definitely fall on Li Defu."

"Li Defu's eunuchs in the district, and even the palace, are rarely seen, so how can you recognize any masters in the arena."

Zhang Zhengyang said: "The masters under my command have been friends with Li Defu's relatives long ago, and without any suspicion, they successfully entered the palace as an official..."

"Hush!"

Zhao Xian sucked in a breath of cold air. He was both surprised and happy. He was surprised that the official was so sinister, and he was happy that the most sinister one was his own.

"Not only that, the three masters of the palace also have my people as worshipers."

Zhang Zhengyang said: "In a few days, the masters of the Chu Palace will sneak into the Shangyang Palace to assassinate. Do you think that after Zhao Yuan is injured, will he attack the three kings ruthlessly?"

Zhao Xian nodded again and again, and said in surprise: "Where did father-in-law recruit so many masters to work hard?"

People in the rivers and lakes are unruly and difficult to tame. No one would have imagined that Zhang Zhengyang would be able to subdue many masters as dead men.

"It's a long story. After the Cangtian King was arrested, Jin Yiwei failed to find out his exercises, and everyone thought that the inheritance was broken."

Zhang Zhengyang said: "I kept people secretly paying attention to this matter, and finally found the Cang family in Jiangnan. Then, under the cover of the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, I finally won the Devil Swallowing Art!"

Zhao Xian said in surprise, "Can this technique make masters in batches?"

"What they have learned is only scraps, not only life-suffering, and there is no way to integrate inner qi."

Zhang Zhengyang said: "The entire exercise will be handed over to His Highness in the future, and it can be given to the servants around him to practice, so as to ensure that the royal family's innate masters will continue from generation to generation."

"Father-in-law is very kind, and my son-in-law will never forget it!"

Zhao Xian pointed to the sky and swore: "In the future, the heir to the throne will be the eldest son Rong'er, and the Zhang family will be prosperous from generation to generation, and will break with the country. If the Zhao family fails, the kingdom will collapse and the blood will be cut off!"

Zhang Zhengyang nodded slightly: "You don't need to make this oath, it's good to have this heart."

Huanhai was ups and downs, and he didn't believe in any oath for a long time.

The fundamental reason why promises and oaths can be maintained is that the benefits are not big enough.

Zhao Xian had heard about Zhang Zhengyang's plan, but only felt that the throne was close at hand: "Why not just stab Zhao Yuan and others?"

"You can't hide it from the world by doing this. No matter whether there is evidence or not, you will end up with the infamy of punishing your brother for usurping the throne. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Zhang Zhengyang said: "On the contrary, your overthrow of the tyrant Zhao Yuan is to clear the source of the original, and to ascend the throne under the expectations of the public will be of great use to the future ruling the court!"

When Zhao Xian heard the words, his eyes were slightly red, and it sounded like he was arranging the affairs behind him.

Zhang Zhengyang coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, I can survive for two or three years, at least find a chief minister who can take charge of the overall situation for you."

Zhao Xian bowed almost to the ground, with tears in his eyes.

"Thank you, Father Xiang!"

Early July.

Emperor Yongxing was assassinated and was seriously injured.

The assassin committed suicide by taking poison on the spot. After careful investigation by Jin Yiwei, he made offerings to the Chu palace.

When the news came out, the officials were in an uproar!

The Ministry of War called the forbidden army to surround the Chu palace, and Jin Yiwei searched carefully and found the dragon robe and the seal.

Emperor Yongxing was furious, and ordered the king of Chu to be executed.

The Zongren Mansion came forward to intercede, saying that there had not been a prince convicted of death in the country for hundreds of years. In the end, it was changed to cut off the prince and exiled to the northern border and demoted to a commoner.

Heaven Prison.

Bingzi Prison is full of mortals, all prisoners of the assassination of the King of Chu.

Relatives, relatives, officials of the palace, etc. were all imprisoned, and even the three families of the housekeeper were arrested, which is enough to know the anger of Emperor Yongxing.

Rumor has it that the assassin's dagger is shifted by another two or three inches. Today is the national mourning!

"Lao Zhou, fortunately you refused that day!"

Colonel Lu had a look of fear on his face: "The one who asked me to win you over is the housekeeper of the Chu palace, the old man in the seventh prison, I have to go and get along later!"

It was not possible to win over Zhou Yi that day, and Xiaowei Lu turned around and thought about it carefully, and also rejected the courting of the palace steward, but he escaped the catastrophe.

Zhou Yi shrugged and said in a low voice.

"Old Lu, I've been busy these days. This is just the beginning!"
