Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The old emperor had always been fond of his son, Ji Changkong, and had said several times that he was the son most like him. Therefore, the old emperor was very tolerant of the King of Wei. Even when he kept dragging his feet and not going to the vassal state, the old emperor never urged him.

At this point, Ji Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Since Your Excellency has checked my information, you should know that I had a wife before.

She came from a scholarly family and her father was an imperial censor.

When I was young, I was obsessed with martial arts and had no interest in women, so my marriage was delayed until one day when I returned from a business trip and happened to meet her while she was shopping on the streets of the imperial capital. Then, I was attracted by the scholarly air she exuded.

Later I married her, and we lived a happy life after marriage. The old emperor valued me very much at the time, and in order to win me over, he conferred the title of imperial decree on my wife. The empress also summoned her to the palace from time to time to chat and relieve her boredom.

I was very happy at that time and had no intention of stopping it until that day.

That day, my wife returned from the palace with a dazed look in her eyes. Later, under my questioning, I learned that she had encountered the Prince of Wei in the palace while he was on his way to pay his respects to the Empress. Before he left, he dragged her into a side hall and raped her!

Ji Xiao clenched his fists, "I went to the old emperor to seek justice, and the emperor summoned the King of Wei to the imperial study for a confrontation.

But the King of Wei insisted that this never happened and refused to admit it at all.

This matter is not a glorious one to begin with, and there is no way to conduct a high-profile investigation. The emperor is also mediating, and the situation is not favorable, so I can only swallow my anger and bear it for the time being."

"Later, my wife went crazy, and one day, while I was at the government office arranging some work, she hanged herself.

The King of Wei was probably worried that I would go crazy and make things worse, so he left the imperial capital that day and went to Tangzhou to be his vassal.

Speaking of this, Ji Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, "Since then, the emperor and I have become strangers, and I no longer obey his orders.

My lord, my only thought right now is to kill Ji Changkong. I don't care about power, but only if I stay in the position of deputy commander can I have the opportunity to cause trouble for King Wei and take revenge.

If you think I am still useful, and if you are willing to help me, my life will belong to you from now on!"

Song Xuan was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Get up and talk!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Ji Xiao felt relieved. He knew that his honesty had finally earned him some favor from the commander, and his position as deputy commander was temporarily secured.

"Tell me about the King of Wei. You should have investigated him over the past two years, right?"

Ji Xiao hurriedly said, "I did use my authority to investigate him, and the more I investigated, the more frightened I became."

"This man is not only a master of martial arts, but also as skilled in political tactics as the old emperor.

Less than a year after he was enfeoffed in Tangzhou, he had almost sidelined the governor, Yang Guang, and almost half of the aristocratic families in various prefectures and counties had secretly defected to him.

Not only that, he also secretly supports the Jianghu forces and wins over the martial arts sects. The Tangzhou martial arts holy places Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple seem to have deep connections with him.

Song Xuan frowned somewhat displeasedly, "You are the deputy commander of the Xuanyi Guards after all. Your wife was raped and forced to death, and you are just investigating secretly. You can't touch him?"

Ji Xiao sighed, "Sir, I do want revenge, but his power is too great. Even though I am the deputy commander of the Xuanyi Guard, it is difficult to touch him.

Let’s not talk about the King of Wei’s own cultivation level, nor his status in the royal family. Just the martial arts forces he has won over, if they want to touch him, they will have to mobilize at least several first-class Xuanyi Guards.

But the First-Class Xuanyi Guards couldn't even mobilize the Emperor, so how could I mobilize them?

Besides, my relationship with Ye Tian is not that good, so it is even more impossible for him to use such a powerful weapon as the First-Class Xuanyi Guard for my sake!"

Song Xuan pondered for a moment.

Ji Xiao was feeling uneasy. He didn't know how the young Lord Song would react after knowing the background of his enemy.

But he knew that any decision made by the adults next would affect his future destiny. Life or death depended on the adults' next words.

"If what you said is true, and your wife was indeed raped by the King of Wei and committed suicide, then this so-called King of Wei..."

Song Xuan chuckled twice, "Get him!"

Ji Xiao opened his eyes wide, somewhat unable to believe it.

The King of Wei is a powerful vassal king. The two of them have only met officially today, and there is no friendship between them. How could this commander be willing to stand up for him with just a few words?

"Surprised?"

Song Xuan's expression was calm. "To be honest, after hearing what happened to you, I realized how much the power of our Xuanyi Guard has declined."

"I won't mention who helped you get into the Xuanyi Guard, but as the deputy commander of the Xuanyi Guard, your wife was raped and forced to death, yet you were powerless to do anything about the murderer. This is very surprising to me.

If even someone as powerful as you can't get justice, is there any justice in this world?"

"I wasn't joking when I said I was going to get him. You don't have to be surprised!"

"I'm not speaking up for you, I'm speaking up for the Xuanyi Guard!"

"Don't say you're the deputy commander of the Xuanyi Guards. Even if you're just an ordinary flagman, if you encounter something like this, I will still step forward!

If you can't even get justice for the humiliation suffered by members of my Xuanyi Guard, how can you still have the nerve to dominate the world and shock the martial arts world!"

"grown ups!"

Ji Xiao trembled all over and knelt on one knee again excitedly, "Sir, with your words, I, Ji Xiao, will be your diehard loyalist from now on. You can take my life at any time!"

"Get up! There's no need to kneel down all the time!"

Song Xuan tapped his fingers on the table. "Based on your investigation, does Ji Changkong have the support of a Grandmaster?"

"I'm not entirely sure about this. My Lord, you know that over the years, most of our Black Guard spies have been 'sleeping' and have lost contact with our imperial capital.

The people I used to investigate King Wei were some of my own confidants that I had cultivated over the years, but after all, our manpower was limited, and we couldn't find much information.

As for whether the King of Wei had any contact with the Grand Master, it is difficult to find out."

Song Xuan nodded, "In that case, pass on my order to wake up all the Xuanyiwei spies in all parts of the Great Zhou from now on!

I don't care what happened in the past, but from now on, as long as it's within the Great Zhou territory, every move of all forces must appear in my Xuanyiwei intelligence system!"

Chapter 347 Song Xuan, King Wei is my brother!

Ji Xiao left to convey the order of Commander Song.

Song Xuan sat at the desk and pondered for a moment.

If what Ji Xiao said is true, then the King of Wei will naturally do it.

When he first took charge of the Xuanyi Guard, he naturally needed to deal with a few powerful and influential people to announce the arrival of a new era for the Xuanyi Guard.

The King of Wei, whether in terms of status or cultivation power, is capable of bearing this weight.

Of course, he had to verify Ji Xiao's affairs. It was impossible for him to believe everything the other party said. As for how to verify it, it was not difficult.

royal palace.

A bunch of beautiful concubines were crying and begging outside the imperial study of the new emperor Ji Xuanfeng, hoping to be treated better.

Ji Xuanfeng was a little worried. There were so many women in his father's harem. If they were all driven out of the palace, it would definitely cause quite a stir. How to deal with them was a problem.

At this moment, his expression paused slightly, and Song Xuan's voice sounded in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I have a question for you."

Song Xuan’s voice transmission?

Ji Xuanfeng was stunned for a moment, then replied through voice transmission: "What is it?"

"Today, Ji Xiao, the deputy commander of the Xuanyi Guard, came to me to complain. He said that two years ago, Prince Wei Ji Changkong raped his wife, causing her to hang herself due to the humiliation. Do you know anything about this?"

Ji Xuanfeng was stunned for a moment, "You know me, I have been in seclusion for many years and I don't know much about the things going on in the palace.

However, this seems like something my second brother would do!"

"Oh? Your Majesty, could you elaborate?"

Ji Changkong: "My second brother has been extremely talented since he was young. He is one of the most talented people in the royal family. Before my rise to power, he was always the first choice for the next emperor, so I know him well.

Putting aside his martial arts talent, he is also quite scheming. For the royal family, this is not a bad thing, so he is very popular with the elders. As far as I know, several elders in the royal family are very optimistic about him.

But he has a special fetish, that is, good wives! And the addiction is very strong, so what your deputy commander said is probably true.

Well, please wait a moment and I will help you confirm it.

There are many things going on in this palace that the emperor doesn’t know, but Cao Zhengchun, the chief eunuch, is definitely aware of them!

Song Xuan's voice was slightly amused, "In that case, please excuse me, Your Majesty!"

In the imperial study, Ji Changkong glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was standing beside him.

"Let me ask you something. More than two years ago, did the King of Wei rape the wife of Ji Xiao, the deputy commander of the Xuanyi Guard, in the harem?"

Cao Zhengchun quickly bent down and said, "Your Majesty, if you ask me, I dare not hide it. This happened that day."

Cao Zhengchun lowered his voice, "Not only Ji Xiao's wife, but in fact, many of the emperor's concubines in the harem have had affairs with the King of Wei.

Many people in the harem knew about this, but no one dared to tell anyone, and only the old emperor was kept in the dark.

"Oh?"

Ji Xuanfeng's expression turned cold. "You don't even dare to do that to me, the person my father trusts the most?"

"Don't dare!"

Cao Zhengchun bent even lower. "Your Majesty should be well aware of the Emperor's temperament. If I had informed him of this royal family scandal, I'm not sure if he would have dealt with this old servant of the Prince of Wei, but he would have definitely dealt with me first, as someone who knew about it."

Ji Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and nodded, "With my father's vision, he would do the same!"

Listening to the cries of his father's concubines outside, Ji Xuanfeng's heart began to grow cold, "You arrange for the Queen Mother to move to the Yangxin Palace, and the concubines with children to be sent to the Yian Palace for retirement. As for the others, send them all to the Emperor.

When my old father passes away, I will send them all to guard the tomb!"

"Your Majesty has mercy!"

Cao Zhengchun flattered him, then walked out of the imperial study and ordered the palace guards to start driving away the concubines outside the door.

Ji Xuanfeng sat on the bench, flipping through the memorials on the table while chatting with Song Xuan via voice transmission.

"I've asked around for you. Not only was your deputy commander cuckolded, but my father was also cuckolded by my second brother."

Song Xuan: "...your second brother is quite extravagant. By the way, is it appropriate for you to tell me about this royal scandal?"

“If there’s anything inappropriate about it, it’s not me who’s wearing it, so just watch it for fun.

In this world, there are some fun things I can only talk about with you. Even if I want to talk about other things, no one dares to listen!"

Song Xuan: "That's true. With your strength and position, it's really hard to find someone you can speak freely with."

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Perfect Grandmaster, these two identities alone destined Ji Xuanfeng to have difficulty in making friends. In the whole world, the only person who could not take him seriously and say whatever he wanted was probably him, Song Xuan.

After all, even a grandmaster cannot take a perfect master lightly.

In the commander's office, Song Xuan had some cucumbers delivered to him. He ate the cucumbers while listening to the royal secrets. It was quite exciting.

It’s a pity that there are no watermelons in this season, otherwise it would be more interesting to eat watermelons and listen to music.

After chatting for a while, Ji Xuanfeng got down to business.

"My second brother, do you have any plans?"

Song Xuan didn't hide his intentions and said directly, "I plan to deal with him. What do you say, Your Majesty?"

Ji Xuanfeng: "Although he is not born of the same mother, he is still my biological brother. I just ascended the throne and started to attack my brother. What will outsiders think? Isn't this too hasty?"

Song Xuan chuckled twice, "Tell me, what does Your Majesty want?"

A ruthless man who dared to kill even his own father would care about a half-brother? Not to mention that this brother once wanted to compete with him for the position of crown prince.

Song Xuan felt that even if he didn't mention it today, once Ji Xuanfeng had put the government affairs in order and had time to spare, he would have to deal with that King of Wei sooner or later.

Ji Xuanfeng said so much at this moment, just to increase the money!

Ji Xuanfeng's voice paused for a moment, and then came again.

"The emperor has six seals, but I only found five in the palace, and the emperor's seal of trust is missing."

Ji Xuanfeng's voice became more serious, "I suspect that my father had made a backup plan years ago. The missing Emperor's Seal is most likely in the hands of the King of Wei.

If you want to kill the King of Wei, I won't stop you. I don't care whether he's dead or alive. I just want the missing Emperor's Seal!"

"can!"

Song Xuan naturally would not refuse. The loss of the emperor's seal was something that the Xuanyiwei should be responsible for.

Ji Xuanfeng also smiled. "By the way, my second brother is not a pushover either. If you want to deal with him, it's best to first investigate his situation thoroughly and eradicate his influence in Tangzhou. Don't leave any hidden dangers for yourself."

Song Xuan said, "I just want to inform His Majesty about this matter first. I don't intend to resort to violence before the wedding."

Ji Xuanfeng laughed heartily. "That's right, I almost forgot you were getting married. Speaking of which, I'm not young anymore, and I still need a queen. If you meet someone with good character, remember to introduce one to me."

Song Xuan snorted, "I don't want to be a matchmaker!"
