Shendou Continent

Chapter 201
After Emperor Xinfeng came to power, he abandoned the government and recruited beautiful women in Ouyue. He has only been in office for five years, but he has already caused dissatisfaction among the government and the public. The officials also have many suggestions, but he doesn't listen to them at all.In this way, voices against Emperor Xinfeng gradually appeared in Ouyue, and he only had one word for this kind of noise: kill!

At the beginning, it was the officials who were killed, and others didn't feel much about it. Later, when the officials were killed in the Six Departments, everyone became insecure.Now all the officials in the court are looking at the road, and dare not speak too much, for fear of causing the disaster of killing people.And Emperor Xinfeng was not indiscriminately tyrannical to all officials. Those who followed him wholeheartedly could still be reused, like Ke Wuxin, who had been promoted to the rank of governor long before he broke through to the Saint Seiya, and was even given a gift last year. Shenhudan broke through the holy realm.In the Xinfeng Dynasty, he gradually replaced the other two governors appointed by the previous dynasty and several hereditary military commanders, and became the head of military officials.

Ke Wuxin was reused because he was obedient. He took refuge in Emperor Xinfeng very early on, and his loyalty to the emperor has passed the test of time.The second is strength. He stepped into the Profound realm early and was a rising star in the army. Later, he served as the governor of the Southwest, and then was promoted to the governor. Last year, he broke through the holy realm with the support of Emperor Xinfeng. His own strength is extremely strong. Emperor Xinfeng also needed powerful subordinates.The third is to be able to do things well. When he was the governor of the Southwest, he had already frantically recruited beautiful women for Emperor Xinfeng, who was still the prince. Beauty, the emperor is naturally very satisfied with him; and Ke Wuxin also took the lead in eliminating the opposing forces and made a lot of efforts, so Emperor Xinfeng naturally trusted him.

Seeing Emperor Xinfeng's debauchery and tyranny, the people in Ouyue were full of complaints, and some people who originally supported him to take power also became more active.It seems that there is also a voice that is slowly surfacing, that is his brother who supports him, the third son of Emperor Changhua, King of Lu Qian Xiaowu.In this way, King Lu became a thorn in the eyes of Emperor Xinfeng.Even when he staggered accidentally when he was offering sacrifices to his ancestors in the ancestral temple, it was considered that the sacrifice was not pious enough, and he was punished by the emperor's decree.

But King Lu is also powerful. Although Emperor Changhua has five sons, only the prince and him are actually qualified to compete for the throne. Although the prince was established early, he is not completely without opportunities. With the support of the leader, a certain amount of strength has been secretly accumulated.Even if Emperor Xinfeng came to power, he still wanted to follow the example of his father and replace Xinfeng.Now, Emperor Xinfeng is licentious and innocent, which happens to be a god-sent opportunity.However, when he was expanding his strength, Emperor Xinfeng also targeted him, and targeted him crazily. All the officials who had a close relationship with him were basically suppressed.In the fifth year of Xinfeng, several ministers of the court and central government were killed for various reasons, but the same thing is that they all had more or less private connections with King Lu.Under such high pressure, King Lu had no choice but to turn his power underground.However, now that his ambition has been exposed, it is impossible for him to pretend anymore. Although Emperor Xinfeng is tyrannical, he is not stupid.

While the two sons of Changhua were fighting openly and secretly, a small group of people also saw an opportunity.Xu Jingbo, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was a 53-year Jinshi in Changhua. He is the grandson of Xu Dingwu, the former enlightenment teacher of King Huai, and has always secretly supported King Huai.Jia Yuheng, the former magistrate of Huaizhou, is now the censor of the left deputy capital. He feels the experience of King Huai and admires the generosity of King Huai. Now that Emperor Xinfeng has no way, he does not want to support Emperor Xinfeng. King Lu, who was targeting him, secretly turned to King Huai.As for Hu Wenyong, the former member of Princess Yizhu's mansion who was supported by Duke Huai back then, he was even more determined to support Duke Huai's influence.In addition, Wu Zhongyan, Chen Xiaolei and other main officials of the third grade in the court also secretly supported King Huai. One system.

To overthrow the regime, the power of civilian officials is limited, and force is fundamental.King Lu has a Saint Seiya standing in line, and his grandfather is one, so he has the capital to fight against Emperor Xinfeng.As for the holy fighters, the Changhua Dynasty had a total of four governors who had reached the holy realm, two of whom had gone west, and the other two, although highly respected, were not trusted by Emperor Xinfeng.In addition, there is Lu Wang's grandfather, the hereditary protector of the country, Lu Sheng, who is also a saint. Like the two former governors, he is wandering on the fringes of the Xinfeng regime.

As one of the Eight Great Empires, the Ouyue Kingdom usually has four to five saints who are loyal to the court. In addition to Wu Yungong, the first sect of the empire, there are at least five saints who are inclined to the empire.But in the Xinfeng Dynasty, among the four saints in the empire, the three older ones were not favored. In fact, only one, Ke Wuxin, was truly loyal to Emperor Xinfeng.Although Wang Yunfeng of Wuyunmen seems to be friendly to the court, he has not turned to the emperor.In fact, some people of insight have a very low evaluation of Emperor Xinfeng, and these people with strong cultivation bases are naturally more touched.

And Emperor Xinfeng's popularity is getting lower and lower, which also gave Qintai Zong hope.Lin You, who is in the lineage of Emperor Yongli, naturally hoped that his uncle King Huai could inherit the great line again, and now the timing is gradually improving.Above the imperial court, Emperor Xinfeng is trying every means to suppress King Lu, but King Lu is just sitting there waiting to die?
He was originally the son of Emperor Changhua's favorite concubine, and Emperor Changhua also gave him a lot of benefits when he was in power.He is different from King Huai, King Huai has only a false name and no fief, but King Lu actually has a fief.Luzhou, where he lives, is very prosperous, with sufficient money and food, and has a certain amount of capital.The patriarch of his mother's family is the Duke Protector of the Empire who started his career in military affairs, and he is a member of the Imperial Military Family.When Emperor Changhua asked to marry his mother, he also had the consideration of attracting powerful factions.So although Emperor Xinfeng wanted to get rid of it several times, he still dared not do it because he was afraid of his mother's family's influence.And he is naturally aware of his situation, so he is constantly cultivating his own power, fighting against Emperor Xinfeng openly and secretly. Sooner or later, he will have a decisive battle with this brother.

Lin You saw all of this, and Hu Wenyong and others even more. Under the operation of King Huai these years, King Huai's party had a certain foundation.But in terms of force, Duke Huai did not dare to openly recruit high-ranking monks because of his status. He only secretly raised some strong men with virtual cultivation, but relying on these people to seize power would be like a dream.And Duke Huai's identity is sensitive, once Emperor Xinfeng finds out that he secretly liaised with forces in the army, the consequences will be very serious.Therefore, Duke Huai's own force is limited.Fortunately, his nephew Lin You is upright, the strength of the Qintai Sect is booming, and it also has the peak powerhouses who have reached the realm of Saint Dou. Under Lin You's call, these people will all become his hardcore forces.

Of course, not many people know about the Qintai Sect. People in Ouyue only know that there is a Lin'an Sect. The Sect Master is a young man, and the elder's cultivation is as strong as the Profound Realm. It is not a big or small sect.As for the relationship between Lin'an Sect and King Huai, what we know is limited, and it's just that King Huai once funded Lin'an Sect.During the years when Lin You was not in the sect, Duke Huai did not have much contact with the Lin'an sect, and he was trapped in Huaizhou for a long time. In the eyes of outsiders, he was doomed to be unable to connect with the Lin'an sect.Because he believed that his danger was limited, Emperor Xinfeng lifted the travel restrictions on him.

In this way, as long as Emperor Xinfeng competes with King Lu's snipe and clam, King Huai will hope to benefit from the support of King Huai's Party and Qintai Sect.
