Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Victoria Song chuckled, "Nothing, I'm just curious, you've already written the marriage certificate, why don't you sleep with your sister-in-law before leaving?

So I asked my sister-in-law if she didn’t allow it!

Song Xuan glanced at her and said, "You have no respect for your elders. You dare to say anything!

By the way, what did your sister-in-law say?"

Victoria Song couldn't help laughing immediately, "Sister-in-law said that you usually get enough sleep, so this time won't be a big deal."

As she spoke, she tilted her head and looked at Song Xuan, "I can't believe you slept with Qingshuang when you were in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"No, your sister-in-law is just joking with you!"

Lord Song looked calm as he gazed at the city ahead and said calmly, "Let's go, follow me back to the imperial capital!"

He looked calm, but in his heart he was still somewhat speechless towards Yao Yue. How dare you tell anyone that they were role-playing in private as a couple.

Even if it’s Victoria Song, you can’t say that!

Song Qian's eyes rolled around. She wanted to ask a few more questions, but when she saw her brother's deep and serious expression, she immediately backed off.

If I get impatient, he will probably grab me by the scruff of the neck like a chicken. How can I, the great ancestor Luo Tian, ​​be shameless?

When they were approaching the city gate, the two had not yet gotten close, but the gates of the huge city had already been opened. From afar, they could see a huge crowd of people kneeling on the ground, waiting quietly.

Seeing Song Xuan coming, all the soldiers defending the city knelt on one knee and saluted without any hesitation, shouting and cheering one after another!

"Ancestor Xuantian!"

"Welcome back, Patriarch Xuantian!"

"The ancestor is mighty and invincible!"

Song Xuan looked at this scene and felt a sense of emotion. He was not obsessed with privileges, but he had to admit that this kind of privilege obtained by strength was indeed pleasing to the eye.

......

Imperial capital, royal palace.

Now the entire palace is filled with an extremely strange atmosphere.

The once high and mighty Emperor Zhao Pan was now sitting on the stone steps of the back garden, looking dejected and gloomy, as if he was in a state of disarray.

The strangest thing is that the Queen, who used to make the concubines and palace maids in awe and fear, is now in a very delicate situation.

Those palace maids who used to not dare to breathe in front of her, when they looked towards the direction of Kunning Palace from afar, all had a sense of gloating.

And those concubines who had been suppressed for many years were even more unscrupulous, and some even mocked her directly in front of her.

"When the Daluo Sect was still around, you were the Daluo Saintess, the high and mighty Empress."

"But now that the Daluo Sect is gone, do you think you can still sit on the throne of Queen?"

"If I were you, I would just hang myself from a tree in the southeast and die for the sect, and give up my position as soon as possible. Only Sister Shufei can hold that position securely!"

Shufei is the biological mother of the second prince Zhao Zhe.

Now everyone with a discerning eye can see who will be the true ruler of the future. If we don’t curry favor with him now, when will we?

The queen's face was filled with anger, but amidst her anger was more of panic, fear, and fear of death.

In the past, if someone dared to disrespect her like this, she would have ordered them to be dragged away and beaten to death!

Palace fighting?

That doesn't exist. The queen has absolute authority in the palace. Anyone who dares to challenge the queen's power will be beaten to death by her, and the emperor will not care at all.

But things are different now. Apart from the personal maid she brought with her from Daluo Sect, she can't even order a eunuch around.

The entire palace, and even the entire imperial capital, changed drastically when the news of the destruction of the Daluo Sect came!

The only thing she, the so-called queen, could do was to wait.

Waiting for a final decision from the court, waiting for the final judgment of the mother and son!

...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Outside the Imperial Garden, Eunuch Tong hurried over, walked up to Zhao Pan, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Song Xuan is back!"

Zhao Pan, who originally had a dejected look on his face, trembled slightly and suddenly raised his head.

"Send an order, summon him to the palace, I want to see him!"

Eunuch Tong advised: "Your Majesty, it's already this time, don't put on airs, why don't we take the initiative and go over, maybe..."

“No maybe!”

Zhao Pan's face was gloomy. "As long as I am on the throne, I will be the Emperor of Dao Song. I will never compromise with traitors, ever!"

Eunuch Tong sighed, "Your Majesty, you are simply too arrogant. If you had been more humble, the relationship between you and Song Xuan might have been improved."

He sighed deeply, turned around and said, "I will go and invite Master Song right away, but I'm not sure whether he will come or not!"

Zhao Pan watched him walk away, his face changing from gloomy to bright, and all kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart.

He still doesn't understand. He is the emperor, holds the dominant position, has the royal ancestors as his backer, and has the powerful external support of Daluo Sect. How come such a good hand of cards turned into a mess in the blink of an eye?

After learning the news of the death of Patriarch Daluo and the destruction of Daluo Sect, Zhao Pan went to the ancestral temple immediately to get the support of the ancestors.

But in the end, all he got was one sentence:

"Since you've gotten away with it, then admit defeat and prepare to abdicate!"

The ruthlessness and indifference of the ancestors made him fully understand what it meant that there was no family affection in the royal family.

Since that day, he didn't even attend the morning court.

He didn't dare, nor could he accept the mocking and laughing looks of the ministers in the court.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, he was the first emperor to be forced to this extent by his ministers. Zhao Pan could not afford to lose face!

The worst outcome is nothing more than abdication. What he wants to discuss with Song Xuan now is how to make him abdicate in a dignified manner.

And how to save the lives of the Queen and the Crown Prince after he abdicates.

If the matter cannot be negotiated, he will drag it out. He is not in a hurry anyway. As for whether it will cause chaos in the court, he no longer cares.

...

Imperial City Division.

Mr. Song handles official business in the office.

During the time he was away, the young secretary was very capable. He led people and actually arrested a group of the prince's followers.

With the arrest of these people, all the bad things the prince had done over the years were exposed.

Things like corruption, abuse of power, murder, silencing witnesses, rape and looting are all child's play. The case of a concubine in the palace giving birth to a child for no apparent reason was also pinned on him.

Not only that, this guy also has many connections with some sects and holy places in other countries in order to get more helpers.

Some of the assassins under his command came from the Daluo Sect, but more of them came from sects and forces in other dynasties.

Song Xuan flipped through the piles of files and was also convinced.

As the crown prince, it is quite bizarre that he can be so unscrupulously evil!

Chapter 826 Zhao Pan: Come on, let’s get married!

As soon as they entered the Imperial City, Eunuch Tong explained his purpose.

He was always treated like an ancestor wherever he went, but for the first time, he was stopped at the gate of the Imperial City Yamen.

According to what the captain on duty said,

"I am just a rough man, I don't know whether it is an imperial decree or not. Before the inspector gives the order, even if you are the chief steward of the palace, you have to wait here!"

Eunuch Tong had mixed feelings, but he was not angry.

He had been in the palace for many years and was very familiar with the fickleness of the world. As someone close to the emperor who was about to abdicate, it was indeed difficult for him to gain the respect of others.

Unless, he is willing to show his cultivation level of the early Mahayana stage.

But if he really dared to do so, he knew very well that he would be the first one to be punished!

Fortunately, someone soon came from the Imperial City Office. Eunuch Tong looked over and saw that it was Song Xuan’s secretary, Sun Muxue.

Looking at Miss Sun, who was becoming more and more charming and already had the authority of a superior, Eunuch Tong sighed inwardly.

There is so much luck in this world. Not long ago, the other party was still begging for help everywhere and his family was on the verge of destruction, but in the blink of an eye, he has survived and is on the rise.

But the existence that was once high and mighty is about to be cast into the dust, never to rise again!

This reversal made him dizzy.

Arriving outside Song Xuan's office, Eunuch Tong waited outside the door for a moment, and then walked in under the guidance of Sun Muxue.

The moment he entered the door, Eunuch Tong's heart trembled inexplicably, and a heavy pressure arose in his heart.

His intelligence agency could not find out how the ancestor of Daluo Sect died. The only thing that was certain was that the ancestor of Daluo Sect did die in the secret world where he was in seclusion, and the cause of death was related to Song Xuan.

To put it bluntly, what he saw at this moment was Lord Song, who was sitting at the desk and reviewing memorials. He was an invincible existence who could even kill a peak Mahayana master.

Unless the ancestor of the dynasty comes out of seclusion and uses the national treasure himself, it seems that no one in this world can be his opponent!

Song Xuan had a good impression of this eunuch Tong, who the Second Prince said had secretly helped him many times, so he didn't put on any airs. He put down the memorial in his hand and smiled at him, "Sit down!"

Eunuch Tong smiled and waved his hand, "I can just stand here."

Song Xuan turned his head and instructed Sun Muxue, "Serve tea to Eunuch Tong!"

Sun Muxue immediately accepted the order and before leaving, she took a subtle look at the old eunuch.

Judging from the reaction of his master, this person seems to be a spy planted by his master in the palace.

The master's spy is the chief eunuch beside the emperor. Even though Sun Muxue has seen a lot of ups and downs recently, he still felt a little shocked in his heart.

Your Excellency's methods are really too unbelievable. With such tactics, what can Zhao Pan use to fight against you!

After Sun Muxue left, Song Xuan spoke first, "Zhao Pan wants to see me?"

"Your Excellency's guess is spot on!"

Eunuch Tong flattered, "Your Majesty, he knows you are back, so he wants to see you."

He paused and whispered, "He probably wants to negotiate."

"Peace talks?"

Song Xuan sneered, "Having bargaining chips is what we call peace talks. He has nothing in his hands right now, so what qualifications does he have to negotiate with me?"

Eunuch Tong was not surprised, as His Majesty was now at the end of his rope.

The people in the court are Song Xuan's people, and the Daluo Sect outside has now become a wedding dress for the Hunyuan Sect. Even several ancestors in the royal ancestral temple do not support His Majesty. Emperor Zhao Pan really has no bargaining chips to show.

"So, Your Excellency is not going to see him?"

Eunuch Tong smiled and said, "In that case, I will return and report immediately."

"I didn't say I wouldn't see you!"

Song Xuan stood up and said, "Let's go to the palace to see him. I'm actually a little curious. At this point, what else does he plan to talk about?"

...

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

After bringing Song Xuan in, Eunuch Tong walked out and closed the door.

Song Xuan was not polite either. He casually looked around and sat on a chair, looking at His Majesty the Emperor calmly.

Compared to the last grand court meeting, only half a month had passed, but Zhao Pan seemed to have aged a lot, and even had an air of old age emanating from him.

"Your Majesty, you are old!"

Zhao Pan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I have indeed aged a lot. When people get old, they are a little useless!"

Song Xuan was not polite and said directly: "If you are old and useless, then you should retire early and give young people room to display their talents.

"You have no ability but you still occupy the position. There is a saying that goes, 'If an old man refuses to die, he is a thief.' Your Majesty, don't you agree?"

Zhao Pan felt his cheeks trembling. He knew that Song Xuan would probably not be polite to him during this meeting, but wasn't this too rude?

After all, I am an emperor and I haven't abdicated yet!
