Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

"I have also heard that Master An had an Oedipus complex when he was young, but his mother died early. Before he was even an adult, he fell in love with a very famous singer in Bianjing City, named Diewu. Is that true?"

"Tsk, Die Wu is also a pitiful person. Just because she loved the wrong person, she ended up with a miserable death..."

Yang Zhao's words constantly stimulated An Shigeng's extremely sensitive nerves.

An Shigeng really couldn't stand it. Veins popped out on his forehead and he suddenly yelled, "Stop talking. Who are you? Who are you?"

Looking at An Shigeng, he was shouting loudly as if he was insane.

Yang Zhao quickly stopped his teasing smile and said, "An Yunshan hates the current emperor and Cai Jing. He hates Cai Jing for sending his favorite concubine to the emperor's room."

"You also hate the current emperor and Cai Jing."

"You hate the ruthlessness of the government, who not only refused to acknowledge your status as a prince, but also interfered with your love and marriage, and executed the singer Diewu; you hate Cai Jing, who treated you as a pawn and a trump card, constantly exploiting and controlling your life and fate."

"So you and An Yunshan, father and son, have been forbearing for more than 20 years, just to usurp the throne."

"Then again, do you think you are really the illegitimate son of the current official family?"

"You don't think that the clan officials of the Song Dynasty imperial family are just sitting there doing nothing and can't even recognize whether someone is of their own bloodline, do you?"

As Yang Zhao spoke in a bland tone, An Shigeng's expression became increasingly ugly.

However, because of this, An Shigeng's emotions calmed down.

After a long while, An Shigeng stared at Yang Zhao and asked, "Who are you and what do you want to say?"

Yang Zhao laughed and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. I just came to tell you a story."

"Twenty years ago, Cai Jing did not have such a powerful position as he does now, so Cai Jing planned to support a prince who was relatively easy to control to take the throne when the throne was passed on."

"But with Cai Jing's power at the time, it was a bit difficult for him to control a real dragon."

"So Cai Jing decided to put a controllable insurance in place before the dragon son transformed. Coincidentally, one of Cai Jing's subordinates, An Yunshan, had a concubine who was pregnant, so the two of them planned a drinking party."

"Not long after, the True Dragon ascended to the throne. Considering their old friendship, Cai Jing was reinstated as Prime Minister, the An family prospered, and even the so-called illegitimate son who was not allowed to see the light of day was adopted as the official's adopted son..."

An Shigeng's life was more tragic than imagined.

Originally, An Shigeng just felt that he was unlucky and was being used as a pawn.

Now it seems that An Shigeng intuitively feels that this world is not worth living in. He is not even as good as a chess piece, but just a puppet in the hands of others.

Fake, everything is fake.

An Shigeng quickly laughed nervously and said, "You have investigated my life so thoroughly. If you want me to do anything, just tell me. I will satisfy you in every way."

At this moment, An Shigeng seemed to be in a state of despair. In the depths of his eyes, there flashed an extremely gloomy and terrifying murderous intent.

Yang Zhao glanced at An Shigeng indifferently and said, "If Master An cooperates, that would be the best. By the way, there is a girl named Ji Yaohua in the Six Gates. You don't want her to end up with a tragic death, right?"

Suddenly, a flash of fear flashed across An Shigeng's eyes.

Chapter 189 An Shigeng's Complaint to the Emperor

If Yang Zhao just wanted to kill An Shigeng, he had a thousand ways to make him die without anyone noticing.

But if you want to control a madman, it will take a lot of effort.

First of all, we must completely destroy the mind of this madman, and then grasp the last bit of beauty and thoughts in this madman's heart, so that we can use it for our own benefit.

Originally, Yang Zhao was not prepared to spend so much effort on An Shigeng.

But it must be said that the bizarre idea of ​​treason of the An family father and son was really powerful. Such a serious crime had to be proven, and neither Liang Shicheng nor Cai Jing could bear it.

And under the investigation of the intelligence department under Yang Zhao.

In order to rebel and usurp the throne, An Shigeng and his son not only made dragon robes and other items, but also secretly murdered several of Zhao Ji's descendants over a period of more than ten years.

In the plan of the An family father and son, as long as Zhao Ji's descendants died out.

When Zhao Ji passed away, he had to choose An Shigeng, his illegitimate and adopted son, to inherit the throne.

Very weird and whimsical idea.

However, An Yunshan, a demon from the Western Regions, and An Shigeng, a merchant's son, were not of a big stature to begin with. It was not easy for them to come up with such a plan and take action.

What Yang Zhao wanted An Shigeng to do was to pin all the blame on Cai Jing.

This is the best opportunity to defeat Cai Jing without any effort.

three days later.

An Shigeng regained his former appearance as a nobleman, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and openly appeared in the hall of Kaifeng Prefecture. He struck the drum loudly, which had not been touched for more than ten years.

Immediately afterwards, An Shigeng sued Cai Jing in the lobby of Kaifeng Prefecture, presenting a large amount of evidence.

Not to mention the old-fashioned charges of corruption, bribery, and manipulating the court.

Among An Shigeng's testimony and evidence.

Cai Jing controlled the An family decades ago, lured the previous emperor's son into a trap, supported the prince to ascend the throne, forged the illegitimate child of the current official, secretly controlled the court, privately eliminated the current official's descendants, planned to control An Shigeng to usurp the throne, and so on.

A series of charges were brought to the attention of the emperor at the fastest speed.

At the same time, the news that An Shigeng appeared in Kaifeng Prefecture quickly spread throughout Bianliang.

The Shenhou Mansion, the Six Gates, the Liufenbantang, the Jinfengxiyu Tower, the Youqiao Group, etc., almost all the prominent forces in the entire Bianjing, gathered in Kaifeng Prefecture.

After An Shigeng's testimony and evidence came out from Kaifeng Prefecture.

All forces were in an uproar on the spot.

Anyone with a little common sense would have known that as long as Cai Jing, who held great power in the court, did not die before An Shigeng met the emperor, he would be doomed.

among the crowd.

Lei Sun, Lei Chun and others from Liufenbantang looked extremely ugly.

Because everyone knows that the backer behind Liufenbantang is the powerful prime minister Cai Jing. Once Cai Jing is charged with a crime, Liufenbantang will be overthrown by the court in an instant. At the same time, many forces such as Jinfengxiyulou will also tear apart the flesh and blood left by Liufenbantang.

Fang Yingkan from Youqiao Group also had a very grim look on his face.

Behind Youqiao Group is Liang Shicheng, who is known as the hidden prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Liang Shicheng is in alliance with Cai Jing and they are of the same blood. Not long ago, they teamed up to wipe out the entire An family.

Once Cai Jing's power collapsed, Liang Shicheng and others would inevitably be implicated.

On the contrary, the people from the Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates were overjoyed.

In recent times, the Six Gates have been humiliated in various ways by the An family, Cai Jing and others, and the Shenhou Mansion has also been drawn into the vortex, losing face in the An family massacre.

Now, the appearance of An Shigeng is like a ray of dawn, illuminating the way forward for the Six Gates and the Shenhou Mansion.

When they received the news, the Six Gates and the Shenhou Mansion mobilized almost at full strength to surround the entire Kaifeng Prefecture, and carefully observed the movements of Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and other forces under their command.

The Liushenmen and Shenhou Mansion confronted the Liufenbantang and Youqiao Group outside Kaifeng Prefecture.

At this time, the imperial palace and even the entire court were as calm as before a storm.

In the Imperial Palace of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji had smashed all the gold and jade bottles and jars in the palace one after another, and even the various calligraphy and paintings, rare stones, which Zhao Ji once loved most, were messed up.

"The thief Tsai should die, the thief Tsai should die!"

"I have treated Cai Jing very well, making him the prime minister, the commander of Chao Gang, and giving him the management of half of the country."

"This damn Cai Jing actually remembered me before I ascended the throne."

"I will execute him by slow slicing and exterminate all nine generations of his clan."

Every time he roared, Zhao Ji would smash all the bottles and jars to pieces. The anger in his heart was like a volcanic eruption, and he could hardly control himself.

Next to Zhao Ji was an old eunuch with a respectable complexion and a calm expression.

Liang Shicheng waited until Zhao Ji had finished venting his anger, and then he flattered him, "Your Majesty has deep feelings and great loyalty, but you have met the wrong person. Your Majesty, please do not take the fault of that bastard Cai Jing and let your body get upset."

Zhao Ji looked at Liang Shicheng in the hall with a cold gaze.

Liang Shicheng panicked, but managed to remain calm and came with a flattering smile.

Zhao Ji stared at Liang Shicheng for a long time before he said coldly, "My dear friend, tell me, did you collude with that bastard Cai Jing on the matter of the An family?"

A dragon is a dragon, even if it is a lazy, foolish and incompetent dragon.

As long as Zhao Ji remains on the throne, his power is enough to intimidate corrupt eunuchs like Liang Shicheng.

Hear what Zhao Ji said.

Liang Shicheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, please understand. I am loyal to you. It was only half a month ago that I was bewitched by Cai Jing and took over a farm in the south of the city. That's why I asked the Marquis of Shentong to help me kill some people from the An family."

"Your Majesty, please understand that I have absolutely no connection with Cai Jing in the matter of the An family. Yes, there is also Eunuch Mi and the head of the Imperial City Customs Office, who can all testify for me."

Zhao Ji stared at Liang Shicheng for a long time before turning his head to look at Mi Youqiao who remained silent.

Mi Youqiao was handsome, wearing a red robe, and looked like a wooden man.

When Zhao Ji looked over, Mi Youqiao finally spoke up, "Step aside. Eunuch Liang is loyal to Your Majesty. Perhaps he has been deceived by that bastard Cai Jing."

Hearing Mi Youqiao's words, Liang Shicheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mi Youqiao with gratitude.

Then, Zhao Ji's anger subsided a little and his face became gloomy.

After a long while, Zhao Ji said grimly, "Big Ban, notify Fang Yingkan and let Youqiao Group take action. Don't let anyone from the Cai family be spared. Let Guan Qi take action and don't leave any hidden dangers behind."

"Hurry up, and get rid of everything that is not beneficial to me before the clan office reacts."

Chapter 190 Cai Jing, the Tiger that Eats Its Own Children

After An Shigeng appeared in Kaifeng Prefecture and struck the drum to report news, the entire city of Bianjing became extremely strange.

The Imperial Palace, Youqiao Group, Liufenbantang, Shenhou Mansion, and Liushenmen were all frantically preparing for war.

Only in Cai Jing's residence, which was at the center of the incident, there was no movement at all.

Everyone was delaying until night fell.

There will inevitably be an unparalleled turmoil and storm sweeping across the entire city of Bianjing.

In Cai Jing's mansion, in the secret study.

Cai Jing, wearing a long beard and a red robe, sat in the first seat with a gloomy face, playing with two round and smooth jade balls in his hands.

Below Cai Jing, five of his sons, Cai You, Cai Huo, Cai Tiao, Cai Yu and Cai Xiu, sat in a row.

Cai You was the eldest brother, and he spoke first: "Father, now that An Shigeng has turned against us, our Cai family is already sitting on the edge of a volcano. The government will definitely not let us go. What should we do next?"

Cai Yu was handsome and had been chosen as the imperial consort. He said, "Why don't I go to the palace and ask for mercy from Princess Maode..."

Cai Tiao looked at Cai Yu with disdain and said, "Don't be silly. Not to mention that you and Princess Maode haven't married yet, even if you two have already married, do you think Zhao Fujin can influence such a matter? You are only going to marry Zhao Fujin, not Zhao Shirong."

Cai You's face darkened and he rebuked, "Alright, shut up."

After Cai Yu and Cai Tiao, who had always been at odds with each other, shut up, Cai Huo, who had never spoken, said, "Father, my elder brother is right. We should make a decision. The servants we sent out to notify Liufenbantang have received no response. Liang Shicheng has already begun to encircle and suppress our forces in Bianjing..."

The emperor did not speak, and until the Cai family was convicted, the Six Gates and the Shenhou Mansion could not do anything to the Cai family.

However, these semi-black and semi-white forces such as Liufenbantang and Youqiao Group started to make trouble in the back, but they showed no mercy at all.

Cai Jing looked at his subordinates and shook his head helplessly.

Thinking about the ups and downs in his life, he went through three generations and controlled the court for decades. How come there was not a single capable person under his command?

After a sigh.

Cai Jing's cloudy eyes sparkled with brilliance, and he said, "Okay, these things are all within your expectations. When the An family was in trouble half a month ago, your husband had already arranged for people to go to the border to inform Ling Luoshi. I think most of the borders in the north have been lost now, and the Liaojin army will soon be approaching Bianjing."

"Next, the news of the chaos in the north will soon reach the court. Sanlang will go to the west city and bring Ling Luoshi and others to the mansion to escort us, the Cai family, out of the city."

"Silang, Qilang, you two take my seal and go to Liufenbantang and Lianyunzhai respectively..."

"Wu Lang is close to Princess Maode, so you can go to the palace and not ask for forgiveness, but let them delay for a while..."

As Cai Jing's words fell.

Cai Huo, Cai Yu, Cai Tiao and Cai Xiu quickly followed Cai Jing's instructions and went out.

Wait until the four people have completely left Cai’s mansion.

Cai You was a little puzzled and said to Cai Jing: "Father, at such a critical moment, why did you let my four younger brothers take risks? As the eldest son, I should..."

Cai Jing's face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Fool, do you think such a disaster can be easily solved? Back then, I was tempted and made a move with the child in An Yunshan's concubine's belly. Do you think I will really support An Shigeng's rebellion and usurpation of the throne?"

"The Song Dynasty royal family has a profound foundation, and there are many masters in the clan house. There are also many magical methods left over from ancient times. The next move of this old man is just to use An Shigeng as a handle to establish some friendship with Zhao Ji. After An Shigeng exposes this matter, the first person Zhao Ji wants to kill is our whole family."
