Shendou Continent

Chapter 215
Just when King Jian was planning to kill the king and seize the throne, King Huai was also stepping up his plans.

And these years, like the King Jian Party, the activities of the King Huai Party are not empty talk, and the palace also has its own influence, and the eunuch Miao Yi of Bingbi has already taken refuge in King Huai.Regarding Miao Yi, he has been in the palace for decades, and his cultivation has reached the Profound Realm, so he has a certain influence.But with the death of Emperor Xinfeng, the situation in the palace also changed.Xiao Zhou was reused because of his meritorious deeds in exposing him, while Miao Ren fell to the new emperor and Xiao Zhou in time, and his power did not change much.But Miao Yi obviously didn't keep up with the pace, and was alienated by the new emperor, becoming a frustrated person, and his power was not as good as before.Seeing Xinfeng being killed and Ouyue changing, he was deeply disturbed and wanted to find a backer outside the palace, so he thought of Duke Huai.

Originally, Duke Huai and the members of Duke Huai's party had lobbied and contacted him many times before. Although Duke Huai was the "Prince" of the Yongli Dynasty, he also knew that he had a cultivation base of soul power. It was also impossible that it was Duke Huai's turn to call the shots, and he didn't take it seriously.But he didn't refuse either, because Duke Huai had money in his hands, so he could earn some filial piety by showing some face.And not long after Jiagong changed, he was no longer used by the new emperor, and only had the title of eunuch holding a pen, without actually having any ministry.After Emperor Shuntian was injured, he felt that the general situation in Changhua was over. Miao Ren seemed to be following Xiao Zhou as if he was paying attention to King Jian.Even though King Huai's reputation was not as powerful as King Jian's, it was still second only to King Jian's clan.To have a rich future, sometimes you need to take a gamble!
Although Miao Yi was frustrated in his official career for a while, he is a master after all. He has managed the relationship in the palace for decades, and he has some old minions and eyeliners. He quickly guessed the intentions of Xiao Zhou and others through news analysis, and gradually became aware of some secrets .The more he analyzed, the more horrified he became, and he quietly sent someone to report the news to the steward of the Jianghuai other courtyard, saying that there might be a change in the palace, and King Huai should make preparations early.

When the steward got the news, Duke Huai had already entered the capital, and it was already the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year would soon be approaching.Time was running out, and Huaiwang party members stepped up their plans. Hu Wenyong, Xu Jingbo, Jia Yuheng and others tried their best to lobby the ministers of the court and China to support the Yongli bloodline; In addition to the "Lin'an Sect", they also actively lobbied the Holy See of Ouyue and Wuyunmen.Although the Holy See is unwilling to take the initiative to get involved in Ouyue's internal affairs, it expresses its willingness to shelter Lin You and Dai Ming's family, which greatly alleviates Lin Dai's worries.Similarly, although Wuyunmen remained neutral, Yan Nanfei, Bi Yingyue, Qing Mutong and others quietly entered Beijing with the acquiescence of the chief of the peak. "Lin'an Zong" and the government of Zhen Guo have already moved, and the recovered Wang Liang also took the initiative to invite Ying, vowing to take revenge.A considerable part of King Huai's guards and secret forces had quietly dispersed into the capital as recruits, and they had already been lurking around the Jianghuai courtyard. As for their troops in Huaizhou, King Huai had authorized his son, Qian Fenglin, to command the army to go to Beijing to eradicate traitors when necessary. .

In this way, the situation in Hangzhou and Beijing before and after the new year was suddenly tense. After the "Jia Uterus Change", the Ouyue Empire is likely to usher in a new "Yichou Palace Change" or "Bingyin Palace Change".In order to be able to deal with the next palace change in time, and set the stage for the universe in the palace change, the two parties of King Jian and King Huai made every effort.The difference is that King Jian is looking at Emperor Shuntian, while King Huai is looking at King Jian at the same time.If it was said that Emperor Xinfeng and King Lu were fighting with snipe and clam, then now, it is obvious that King Jian is mantis chasing cicadas to Emperor Shuntian, while King Huai is the oriole.

However, King Jian was not in vain, and some unusual changes reminded him that King Huai's party members were also on the move.Therefore, while stepping up his efforts to seize power, he also paid close attention to Duke Huai.If you don't pay attention, you don't know. Unexpectedly, King Huai's Jianghuai courtyard in Hangjing is crowded with people every day, and it looks abnormal at all.There are even some outsiders living in many courtyards nearby, all of them are strong and strong, and they look very unusual.

Earlier, in order to prevent the rise of King Huai's party, he secretly bribed a leader of King Huai's subordinates.This person was originally a confidant of Duke Huai, but because of his lack of cultivation, he was gradually marginalized after Duke Huai gained more support from talents.Therefore, he held a grudge against King Huai, and under the activities of King Jian's party, he switched to King Jian.Now, King Jian is in need, so he naturally knows everything, and he tells everything about Duke Huai's secret deployment of troops.After being confirmed by other peripheral personnel, King Jian knew the existence of "Lin'anzong" and the ministers who were close to Huaihe in the court.Although Wang Liang's identity was kept strictly confidential and not leaked, King Jian also knew that it was King Huai who was spreading "rumors" behind his back.

Unexpectedly, Duke Huai had secretly amassed so much power, and it seemed that there was a strong backing behind him.After King Jian analyzed it, his back felt cold, but he immediately had a poisonous plan in his mind.In this case, he simply didn't do anything and kept going. It turned out that he planned to send someone to poison Emperor Shuntian directly through Xiao Zhou. The emperor's current physical condition is normal even after death.But now he changed his mind and planned to frame Duke Huai as a crime.Duke Huai is the "Prince" of the Yongli Dynasty, so it is completely feasible to say that he hates the Changhua lineage, as long as he finds some so-called witnesses in the palace to prove it.Although he believed himself to be stronger than Duke Huai, for the sake of safety, killing people with a knife is the best policy.In this way, under Jian Wang's behest, the Jian Wang Party began to implement the conspiracy.With the New Year's Eve, King Jian's scattered people from all walks of life were recruited to Beijing one after another, preparing to do a big job.

Although after a few days of planning, King Jian's side is ready for everything, just waiting for the right time.But at the end of the year, there were too many people in the palace, and Emperor Shuntian was surrounded by three profound guards on duty every day. It was too difficult to kill the king at this time.In this way, Emperor Shuntian lived a few more days, and in the lively atmosphere, he finally passed the first year of proclaiming himself emperor.But his frail body can't last too long. He needs to determine the heir to the empire as soon as possible. After ruling out King Jian and Queen Huai, he needs to find another reliable candidate in the clan.But the stronger his thoughts, the more uneasy King Jian became, and he wanted to do it before Emperor Shuntian determined the heir.

Finally, on the fourth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Shuntian, under Xiao Zhou's careful planning, Emperor Shuntian fell asleep after eating breakfast, and never woke up again.In the afternoon, news of His Majesty the Emperor's death had already spread in the palace.Moreover, it is said that poisonous substances were found in the breakfast meal of Emperor Daxing, and His Majesty the Emperor may have died unexpectedly.

Something happened to the emperor's diet, which is not bad!In addition to the Imperial Dining Room, those in charge of the meals in the palace also included the Shang Food Supervisor in the 24 eunuchs’ yamen and the Shang Food Bureau of the Six Shang Divisions of the female official system.Therefore, the palace immediately thoroughly investigated the Imperial Dining Room, the Shang Dining Bureau and the Shang Dining Bureau. Dozens of people were arrested.After torture and torture, some eunuchs finally couldn't bear it and began to confess.

It was alleged that in order to restore the body of His Majesty the Emperor, there were always some medicinal herbs in his diet, which were purchased through Shangshan Supervisor.After inspection, it was these medicinal materials that had problems. A mild and recuperating medicine was replaced with a poison of similar shape. It was fine for ordinary people to taste it, but Emperor Shuntian was weak and would definitely cause reactions after eating it. It was it that made the emperor life.After investigation, it was found that the medicinal material came from Tongzhitang in Hangjing. Finally, under the testimony of so-called witnesses, King Huai became the culprit of the regicide.

The King-Building Party members demanded to punish King Huai one after another, and at the same time demanded to support a new king.In particular, Wang Mao, the second assistant, sincerely stated in the above table that the country should not be left without a master for a day, and that the king who built it had both political integrity and ability, won the hearts of the people, and should follow the great unification.The queen was coerced by Xiao Zhou to issue a decree, agreeing to support King Jian.

But the King Huai party naturally couldn't back down just like that. They knew well about the King Jian's conspiracy, and they soon mobilized the royal officials to impeach them.At the same time, retreating is advancing, Ye Rongtian, Xiao Jian, Hu Wenyong, Xu Jingbo, Jia Yuheng and others jointly submitted a petition requesting that the internal guards and the Sanju Jue should try the case of Emperor Shuntian's assassination, and must find out the real culprit and exonerate King Jian.Before the case of the first emperor is clear, it is not appropriate to support a new emperor. Please use the cabinet to take over the administration.The King Huai party also repeated the old tricks, spreading the news that King Jian killed the king and blamed King Huai everywhere, encouraging women, children and storytellers to spread the word, arousing the common people's interest in the secrets of the royal family.In this way, the rumors about King Jian intensified. Although he basically controlled the palace through Xiao Zhou, he couldn't withstand the pressure from the court officials, so he had to agree to the cabinet to investigate him.

In this way, around the throne of the Ouyue Empire, the two kings of Jianhuai have entered the final showdown.
