Chapter 70. The Day the Chess Piece Jumped Out of the Board (IV)
"You mean, my son, the crown prince of Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe, wants to rebel against me?" Emperor Xue Ye looked at Ge Long who was kneeling on one knee. "It's not that I don't want to believe it, but I really can't find a reason. After a few decades, won't Tiandou Empire still be handed over to the hands of this crown prince?"
"I don't want to believe it either!"
"I can't understand it either!"
"But those rebels I killed all claimed this!"
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
Goron fell to his knees.
The sincere attitude made Emperor Xue Ye think deeply.
It also avoids possible fatal disasters.
But Emperor Xue Ye had another opinion.
"Ge Long, tell me, if there is a thief who steals someone else's things, will he make the matter known to everyone?" Emperor Xue Ye's words led Ge Long astray, but before Ge Long could fully understand the logic, Emperor Xue Ye's assertion put an end to the matter: "I have four sons. The eldest son is wise, the second and third sons are weak and died young, and the fourth son is unlikely to achieve great things, but my royal brother likes the fourth son very much. If I were him, I would definitely use Qinghe's rebellion as an excuse to lead troops into the palace, purge the emperor's side, and support my fourth son to ascend the throne..."
"Your Majesty..." Ge Long was stunned: "You mean, this was not done by the Crown Prince, but was planned by the Fourth Prince and Prince Xuexing?"
"What else?" Qian Renxue's disguise over the years was too perfect, and Emperor Xue Ye never doubted this best heir: "Ge Long, if you don't believe it, you can think carefully about the reasons why the prince is plotting rebellion, is there any?"
Gelong suddenly fell silent.
It seems there really isn’t!
When it comes to dealing with others, Xue Qinghe puts filial piety first. Even if he has different opinions, he never argues with Emperor Xue Ye in the court, always giving Emperor Xue Ye enough face.
To his subordinates, Xue Qinghe was eager to recruit talented people. The three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy spoke highly of Xue Qinghe. Even though Xue Qinghe's cultivation was not high and his strength was not strong, his personal charm conquered a large number of soul masters, both young and old. His status in the hearts of the people was even higher than that of the emperor Xue Ye.
In terms of ability, Xue Qinghe is in charge of government, military affairs, and finance. All officials in the court are fully confident in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As long as matters fall into the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished, and almost every matter can be done to perfection.
In terms of moral character, Xue Qinghe is impeccable. He cares for his younger brothers and sisters, appeases the royal family, and even treats Prince Xuexing, who usually opposes him, with a normal attitude. If he had not been unmarried in all these years, some people would have vaguely suspected that this prince did not like women or had a hidden illness, but the prince who heard such words would have beaten them up. He is almost a perfect person.
Such a prince is physically stronger than Emperor Xue Ye.
He is also younger than Emperor Xue Ye.
Why rebel?
Ge Long put himself in Xue Qinghe's perspective and found that he had no reason to rebel!
Just keep it like this.
The throne must be his.
Is it necessary to take such a risk?
"However, if things continue like this, Qinghe will have to rebel even if he doesn't want to..." Emperor Xue Ye listened to the fighting outside the palace, frowning, "Don't worry about who is plotting the rebellion. Everyone has heard that the traitor is Qinghe, so the traitor must be Qinghe. Qinghe can't stand up to the gossip of the world, and he can't produce evidence to prove that he didn't plot the rebellion, because he didn't plot the rebellion, so naturally there is no evidence!"
Ge Long broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
There are too many calculations behind this.
The fourth prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing only used one move to force the crown prince Xue Qinghe and Emperor Xue Ye into a desperate situation. Even he subconsciously believed those lies. If Emperor Xue Ye hadn't woken him up, he might not have understood who the murderer behind the scenes was until his death.
"Golong..." Emperor Xue Ye called softly.
Ge Long bowed his head quickly: "I am here!" "No need to protect me..." Emperor Xue Ye's order made Ge Long look up in surprise, not understanding why. But when Emperor Xue Ye finished the second half of his words, he suddenly burst into tears: "As a father, I can't leave trouble for my son Qinghe when I die. Bring the imperial seal. There is a secret compartment under the dragon throne. Open it, and you will find the imperial edict that I will pass the throne to Qinghe. It has been drafted long ago. Tell Qinghe, and also tell the world that the fourth prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing launched a palace coup. The previous rebellion of the guards was an expedient measure used by Qinghe to save me, his father. After my death, Qinghe will be the next emperor of my Tiandou Empire. The imperial seal and the imperial edict are here. All civil and military officials should support the orthodoxy. Do you understand?"
"Your Majesty!" Ge Long knelt on the ground, his heart filled with grief. "Please trust me once, I am sure I can lead you to break through and find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Looking for Qinghe?" Emperor Xue Ye was very old, but his dragon power was still there, and his mind was clear: "That rebellious son Xue Beng is worried about not finding an excuse to attack Qinghe. If I go to Qinghe, it will just give that rebellious son Xue Beng an excuse to catch me and Qinghe in one fell swoop under the banner of clearing the court of evil. Even if I go out to prove it, that rebellious son Xue Beng will definitely define me as a substitute!"
During the conversation, the sound of fighting gradually intensified.
Ge Long subconsciously stood in front of Emperor Xue Ye.
Face the rebels who rushed to the door.
Looking at one of them's face, I felt like I was struck by lightning.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Ge Long muttered to himself.
The next second, he was awakened by Emperor Xue Ye.
"That's not Qinghe, it's a stand-in..." Emperor Xue Ye rubbed his hands. The force is mutual. He had spent a lot of effort to wake up Ge Long just now. "Look carefully at the eyes of this stand-in. Qinghe's eyes are always calm but full of ambition. The eyes of this stand-in are extremely dull, like a puppet without emotions!"
"avalanche!"
"Snow Star!"
Goron gritted his teeth and recited these two names.
At the urging of Emperor Xue Ye, he left the scene with tears in his eyes.
Rushed towards the Prince's Mansion where he didn't know the specific situation.
However, before Goron could leave the palace, a flying snake spear pierced through his chest and nailed him to the city wall with great force!
Snake spear?
Snake spear!!!
“Spirit Hall!” Ge Long yelled at the Snake Spear Douluo in the dark at the top of his lungs, feeling extremely panicked. However, due to the huge gap in strength, Light Wing Douluo could kill him in his prime with one strike, and Snake Spear Douluo could certainly injure him severely with one strike when he was seriously injured. Therefore, he yelled at the top of his lungs, but his voice got lower and lower, and the more he yelled, the more blood flowed: “Xue Beng and Xue Xing, you two bastards, actually colluded with the ambitious Spirit Hall to plot treason. If His Majesty is still alive in heaven, he will make sure you die miserably… die miserably…”
Qian Renxue, standing in the dark, had a strange expression on her face.
Snake Spear Douluo and Thorny Porpoise Douluo also hesitated to speak.
They can understand if you curse them at the Spirit Hall.
But what does this have to do with avalanches and snow stars?
When did these two people collude with the Spirit Hall?
How come they don't know?
However, it doesn’t matter whether you know it or not!
"All male members of the Tiandou Imperial Family are dead!" The belatedly arrived Soul Saint reported, "His Majesty Poison Douluo and Bishop Saras have successfully intercepted the three teaching committee members of the Tiandou Imperial Academy. The blood sacrifice formation of the evil soul masters has been prepared. The deans and vice deans of many high-level soul master academies have entered the city and are watching!"
"Then let them watch carefully..." Qian Renxue touched the holy sword mark on her forehead. During the more than one month that Ye Qingcang was hunting souls, she had not done nothing. It was still a long way to go before she could pass the first test, but it was not difficult for her, who was at the innate level 20, to obtain the qualification of a divine examiner: "Let them understand carefully... the light of justice of the Spirit Hall and his light of judgment!"
Five, I'm going to eat. There is still one chapter to finish, please wait a little longer.
