Chapter 446 The Mastermind

Qi Zhangwu has been in charge of Dang Mo Si for so many years, and his methods are ruthless and sophisticated. He clearly knows what things Dang Mo Si can touch and what things Dang Mo Si cannot touch.

For example, in the case of the arsenal, the investigation into Dingyuan Hou Mansion has not yet ended, so the investigation cannot continue.

At this time, Qi Zhangwu suddenly asked Han Zheng: "Han Zheng, who do you think might be the mastermind of this arsenal case?

There are only you and me here, make a bold guess, don’t be afraid. "

Han Zheng shook his head and said: "My subordinate has just arrived in the capital, and he doesn't know much about the noble families or even some big figures in the capital, so he can't lock in specific targets.

But judging from these clues, the mastermind behind this must be extremely powerful, the kind that even the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion must rely on.

Moreover, the other party smuggled weapons and hid them in Fuyun Mountain in order to one day take over the capital and change its ownership.

But the problem is that Dazhou has dragon veins. If outsiders want to change the master, they can only start from the grassroots level and directly break through Dazhou.

Otherwise, even if you capture the capital, it will be useless. If you cannot control the dragon veins, you will not be able to control the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, my subordinates boldly speculate that the mastermind behind this is probably a member of the royal family, and also a big shot in the royal family, at least the kind who is qualified to ascend the throne. "

Qi Zhangwu's face showed a hint of approval.

Han Zheng is already pretty good at analyzing these from limited information.

Knocking on the table, Qi Zhangwu said in a deep voice: "It's pretty much what you guessed. The only ones who have the ability and motivation to do this are those from the Zhou royal family.

The first is the deposed prince Ji Longyun. Ji Longyun has been the prince since His Majesty ascended the throne and has been the prince for sixty years.

Ji Longyun's own martial arts talent is also good, and with the support of various resources from the Zhou royal family, he has already condensed his elixir and successfully entered the master realm.

Therefore, Ji Longyun's real age is nearly seventy. This age is considered the prime of life for a martial arts master in the true elixir realm, and he still has more than two hundred years of life.

But you should know about the Great Zhou Dragon Veins.

As long as you ascend the throne and sit on the throne, the power of dragon vein luck is added to you. Even if you are a grand master of the Yangshen realm, you will not be able to withstand this power. In an instant, your cultivation will be suppressed by the power of the dragon vein and you will become an ordinary person.

Ji Longyun is already so old. Even if he ascends the throne now, how many more years will he have to live?

It just so happens that His Majesty is one of the few long-lived emperors in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Most emperors usually run out of life in their forties or fifties. His Majesty is now over eighty years old, but he doesn’t even have a single gray hair. It seems that it is even possible to live to be over a hundred years old.

You mentioned that at that time, when Ji Longyun ascends to the throne of God, will he die suddenly due to the luck of the dragon vein?

Therefore, this prince has quite a lot of criticism towards His Majesty. He even criticized His Majesty three years ago after being drunk, and was deprived of his position as Crown Prince after being reported. "

Han Zheng said in surprise: "Just deprived of the crown prince's position? If His Majesty felt that his son was a threat, shouldn't he have been imprisoned or sentenced to death?"

The internal fighting among the royal family has always been cruel and cruel.

Many emperors relied on Xuanwu Gate to ascend to the throne, so they would not show mercy to their own sons.

Qi Zhangwu said calmly: "Your Majesty would like to, but the prince has been the prince for sixty years, and the princelings are all over the court. Once the prince is imprisoned or killed, your majesty cannot bear the consequences.

Therefore, the most that can be done is to deprive him of the position of crown prince, but Ji Longyun is still the eldest prince, and he is also the eldest son. In name, after His Majesty dies, he will still be the one to succeed him.

But since then, the father and son had a rift, and they hadn't even seen each other for several years.

Qingjingzi said that Baiyunguan started smuggling weapons and armor three years ago, and the time coincided with the time when Ji Longyun was deposed.

The deposed prince couldn't wait any longer and it was possible for him to ascend to the throne early.

The most important thing is that Xu Tianxing has a good relationship with Ji Longyun. Ji Longyun once publicly taught Xu Tianxing's martial arts and praised Xu Tianxing in public. "

Han Zheng suddenly shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like Ji Longyun. Since this deposed prince has such a close relationship with Xu Tianxing, if something happens to Xu Tianxing, it is very likely that the other party will be implicated. It is too obvious."

"But what if it's Ji Longyun who spreads doubts? On the surface, there are doubts, but if you think about it carefully, it's unlikely, but in fact it's still him."

Qi Zhangwu said calmly: "Of course everything is possible, and other people's suspicions are not small.

The second prince, Ji Xuanjing, was generous and wise, and was praised as a wise king. His grandfather was the top noble Duke of Jing, Li Changming.

After the prince was deposed, there were constant voices in the court to establish Ji Xuanjing as the prince.

There is also the fifth prince Ji Hongyuan, who is favored by His Majesty the most. His Majesty even once told him that it would be great if he were the prince.

However, Ji Hongyuan probably did not do this to usurp the throne, but to prevent others from taking action after His Majesty's death.

In addition to these princes, there are also some people in Longwu Division who are dissatisfied with His Majesty. This seems to involve some secrets of the Zhou royal family. I don't know much about it, and I don't want to know it.

By the way, there is also Liang Wang Ji Yuanfang.

His Majesty's uncle personally helped His Majesty to the throne, but His Majesty usurped the power.

Although he has never complained in public, I don't believe that he really doesn't have any resentment in his heart.

Moreover, Ji Yuanfang looks heroic and majestic on the outside, but in fact the city is very deep.

He has experienced two generations of emperors, and has many followers in the court. Many noble generals were promoted by him.

However, it is not meaningful for Ji Yuanfang to usurp the throne at such an age.

He is the uncle of the current emperor, and he is already over a hundred years old. Even if he seizes the throne, he cannot bear the luck of the dragon vein.

In short, these are just speculations now. Han Zheng, you will go to court with me tomorrow to see what the emperor has to say. "

"Yes, thank you, Grand Commander."

Han Zheng stood up and bowed.

Basically, only senior officials of the court are qualified to attend the morning court.

And the only ones who are qualified to attend the morning court in the Demon-Slaying Division are the Grand Commander Qi Zhangwu, the six commanders, and the garrison elders in the Elders' Council.

Normally, when Qi Zhangwu goes to court, he only needs to say that these things are found out by the Demon-Slaying Division, and he doesn't even need to mention Han Zheng's name.

Now Qi Zhangwu is going to bring Han Zheng to court, which clearly shows that he wants to promote Han Zheng, and he is not prepared to take the credit. Wanted to make Han Zheng familiar to the emperor.

After returning to his residence, Han Zheng immediately entered the Taotie furnace, preparing to break through the skills.

Before the fight on Fuyun Mountain, although Han Zheng killed Jingxuzi with overwhelming force, Han Zheng also found his own shortcomings.

Han Zheng is only in the True Dan realm now. Although he has cultivated into the Heavenly Demon True Dan, his explosive power and foundation are extremely amazing, but it is still a bit difficult to challenge the power of heaven and earth with his own strength.

Jingxuzi has just stepped into the half-step Yangshen realm. , it is estimated that he has only been tempering Yang Shen for a few days, so he does not have much power of heaven and earth.

Even if he finally tried his best to condense some power of heaven and earth, he could not defeat Han Zheng's own strength.

So Han Zheng was able to kill Jingxuzi only because Jingxuzi was too weak.

If it was Fang Henge's level of Half-Step Yang Shen Realm, who would win or lose is still unknown.

Han Zheng's requirement for himself is to be invincible in the True Dan Realm, even if the opponent is Fang Henge, who is only one step away from the Yang Shen Realm.

However, if outsiders knew Han Zheng's thoughts, they would definitely curse.

When they were in the True Dan Realm, they only regarded warriors of the same level as their opponents.

Who would regard the existence of Half-Step Yang Shen Realm as their opponent when they were in the True Dan Realm?

In Han Zheng's view, the fact that the True Dan Realm could not easily crush the Half-Step Yang Shen Realm was considered insufficient, and most of the martial arts masters in the True Dan Realm could even commit suicide.

This time, Han Zheng gained another one million satiety points by killing Jingxuzi, and he could break through the previous skills one after another.
