Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 459 The dead can no longer live
"In a few days, it will be 200 years since the establishment of the Beili Dynasty."

"National Master, the matter of offering sacrifices to the heavens still requires the attention of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory."

Sitting on the throne, Emperor Mingde was calm and composed, and he was not disturbed by the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven.

National Master Qi Tianchen stepped out, shook off the dust in his hand and bowed lightly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best in my duties."

Emperor Mingde nodded.

He was still very optimistic about Qi Tianchen, a Taoist priest from the Huanglong Temple who cared about the people of the world and supported the royal family. He had not done anything out of line in many years.

"As for the other thing, that is—the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe is back."

Emperor Mingde pointed at Xiao Chuhe who was standing beside him, and his tone became softer. He couldn't help but have some preference for this prince.

Not only the talent that Xiao Chuhe showed back then, but also his style of doing things were what he hoped to see. He saw in his own prince what he had always lacked.

He had high hopes for the future, and even though he had demoted the prince before, he still admired him in his heart.

It is like a bad person educating his child. He certainly does not want the child to be a bad person. Instead, he hopes that the child will have a bright future, be a good person, and be filial.

When he saw Xiao Chuhe, he felt as if he saw the King of Langya back then. Perhaps it was at that time that he understood why his father chose the King of Langya as the heir to Beili instead of himself.

When he saw Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu, he felt as if he was seeing several princes of the past. Compared with their brothers, the methods of the two seemed inferior. So, he preferred this prince even more.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Xiao Yu still had a sinister look in his eyes when he heard Emperor Mingde talk about this matter openly.

Emperor Mingde's move seemed to be just a simple thank-you banquet for Xiao Se, but everyone present was a smart person. Basically, there was only one meaning behind this incident, which was that I was supporting Xiao Chuhe.

As a result, the atmosphere within Tianqi City, and even those wavering people, under the current circumstances, are likely to turn to Xiao Chuhe.

The struggle for the throne is, to a large extent, a struggle among supporting officials, especially those officials whose disciples are spread all over the country and whose students are all over the world. These officials will greatly affect the development of the entire country.

Xiao Yu usually tries his best not to offend these people. After all, these are the people needed for the operation of the country, and the same goes for Xiao Chong.

But before that, the Grand Tutor had never expressed his position, and neither had the officials under his command. The only person they were loyal to was the emperor, Emperor Mingde.

"But His Royal Highness Prince Yongan?"

The Grand Tutor took a step forward and raised his sleeves to bow.

"It's Lao Liu!"

Emperor Mingde nodded, looking a little tired.

"The Donghai trip was not only widely known in the imperial court, but also caused a great deal of uproar in the martial arts world. Everyone is well-informed and I think everyone knows everything. As for what happened during that time, I don't want to explore it anymore. The important thing is that my prince has returned safely."

Xiao Chuhe took a step forward.

"Father doesn't want to find out the murderer, but I am willing to do so. There have been many times when I have been forced into a corner. I really want to know who is so bold as to assassinate the prince of the dynasty. Isn't he afraid of having his entire clan executed?"

Assassinating the prince is a serious crime, and killing all nine generations of the clan is a light punishment. Xiao Chuhe's words are not alarmist.

Xiao Chuhe faced Emperor Mingde, with a hint of chill on his stern face.

"Assassination??"

The Grand Tutor and others were stunned when they heard this, and then began to shake their heads frantically.

"Your Majesty, is this shocking thing just hearsay?"

Xiao Chuhe chuckled. "Grandmaster, you are joking. I am not the only one who has experienced this. There are also my fellow apprentices in Xueyue City and even the only daughter of General Ye Xiaoying. All of them can testify for me."

"Of course, during the time from the East Sea to Tianqi, Hua Jin, the Little Medical Fairy from Medicine King Valley, also followed us the whole way. Grand Master, don't you mean to say that all of us have been deceived and don't know it?"

The Grand Tutor clasped his fists, then turned and looked at Xiao Se. Judging from the matter of the Sixth Prince, it was unlikely that the other party was lying. After all, some things had never been experienced and were simply unimaginable.

"nature."

"Sixth Prince, do you know which sect the murderer belongs to? If you have evidence, we can confront him here in court."

Xiao Se narrowed his eyes. Not to mention the assassination, collecting evidence was difficult in itself. Even if he did get some evidence, how could he prove that those people were targeting them?

So when the other party said this, he was setting a trap for him invisibly.

"Grandmaster, if I can provide evidence, will the imperial court send people to wipe out those gangs?"

The Grand Tutor hesitated and glanced at Emperor Mingde, but he was surprised to find that Emperor Mingde had closed his eyes to rest, or even fallen asleep.

As the head of the civil servants, he usually deals with the emperor. The other party's current appearance actually has only one meaning: he doesn't want to care about the assassination of Xiao Se.

After guessing what the emperor meant, the Grand Tutor thought for a moment and spoke again, "Sixth Prince, now is a time of trouble. Since those people dared to assassinate the prince, they must be some extremely vicious criminals. They are too deeply involved, so I'm afraid we need to think carefully."

Xiao Chuhe looked at his father, and when he saw that he was still motionless, his heart sank.

Although Emperor Mingde never opened his mouth, Xiao Chuhe already knew what his father meant.

"Do you want to write it off?"

Xiao Chuhe stood where he was, refusing to give in.

“Grandmaster, I have quite a few masters in the Mysterious Realm around me, and even two of them are in the Half-Step Return to the True Realm. Even so, I almost died on the way back to Tianqi. Aren’t you afraid that these people will come looking for you? This seemingly impregnable Tianqi City cannot protect you!!”

The Grand Tutor was stunned at first, then seemed to have thought of something and looked at Xiao Chuhe with some surprise.

"Your Highness is threatening me?"

Xiao Chuhe shook his head.

"Grandmaster, I am only stating a fact. It cannot be stopped in the palace, nor in your mansion."

The Grand Tutor's face darkened.

"Sixth Prince, Tianqi is the imperial city. How can there be such a filthy place under the feet of the emperor? Is your suspicion unnecessary?"

Xiao Chuhe could see that the Grand Tutor did not want to take responsibility for this matter. After all, it was not a glorious matter. The person who assassinated the prince had not been found until now, which only showed the incompetence of the current court.

"Master Imperial Master, what do you think?"

In the end, Xiao Chuhe didn't plan to use any force on the Grand Tutor, and turned to look at the National Master Qi Tianchen.

Qi Tianchen shook off the dust.

"Your Highness, I have some news. I still think you don't know how to be good. Let the past be the past! We must always look forward in life, right?"

Xiao Chuhe was speechless for a moment. Qi Tianchen was an experienced man who ruthlessly used his skills. He was much better than the Grand Master in using a small force to achieve a great result.

"But the dead can't live now."
