The Path Toward Heaven

Back in Prince Jing's mansion, Tong Yan took out the old book and looked through it as usual, and then began to review today's events.

If Mr. Mo was not here today, Zhuo Rusui would definitely join forces with the guard behind the tree to kill him.

Even though he had planned it long ago, the crossbow arrows on the cruise ship were astonishingly powerful, and I'm afraid they couldn't stop the opponent.

Did Jing Jiu really want to kill himself? Is it because of what he said?

In the summer, a great event happened in the capital of Chu State.

A tall man lingered in front of the palace in the early hours of the morning. The forbidden army felt that something was wrong and went to question him. The man took out his stick and swung it around, trying to escape, but was finally caught, and found that the man was armed with a sharp knife, intending to break into the palace and kill the king. The officials of the Ministry of Punishment used extremely severe torture during the interrogation, but the man kept clenching his teeth, and he refused to say a word other than saying that he wanted to kill the faint king, let alone the mastermind behind the scenes.

In the end, the man was recognized as a school lieutenant in Lan Yuguan, who served as a personal soldier under General Pei's command.

General Pei is a famous general of the Chu State, whose reputation is only under King Jing. He has been stationed at the border of Chu and Zhao all year round, fighting against the army of the Zhao State, and has made great contributions to the state.

But what is more widely known is that this General Pei is a confidant of Master Zhang.

Countless eyes were cast on the scholar's mansion, and the Ministry of Punishment naturally did not dare to press too fast, and the capital fell into a strange silence.

At this time, the man suddenly committed suicide in the prison.

All of a sudden, those who truly uphold justice, those who are good at taking advantage of the political situation, and those with great ambitions all jumped out. Countless memorials were sent to the inner court like snowflakes, and the drums outside Dali Temple were beaten every day. Some people even secretly entered the palace at night to meet the emperor, and no one knew what they said.

Prince Jing and his son were of course behind this matter, but more importantly, the New Deal of the Grand Scholars has hurt the interests of many nobles. The regency time is too long, but they still refuse to go any further. It seems that people can see some weaknesses, which naturally makes people feel a lot of peeping. Due to various reasons, the attack on the Grand Master soon turned into a storm, and the whole Kyoto was in turmoil. Unless the Grand Master used strong measures, the situation would be difficult to calm down.

But if the grand maester uses tough methods, who knows what kind of turmoil it will bring.

At the most tense moment, His Majesty the Emperor, who had never been in court since he ascended the throne... suddenly appeared at the court meeting, in front of all the ministers.

Those opposition officials were overjoyed, thinking that His Majesty finally woke up, and wanted to take advantage of the current storm to attack the grand maester.

No one thought that His Majesty the Emperor would leave after only saying a word.

The bachelor's work is very good, don't mess around.

...

...

The situation in the court, people's hearts are turning against each other, political turmoil... just like a real storm, it is a very complicated thing. Regardless of the cause, process or result, it often makes people feel unreasonable in hindsight. The emperor is only known as a fool and an idiot. The words he said have no beginning and no end. Logically, they should not have much influence, but because of some mysterious reasons, it may also be because of the methods of the great scholars. Because of these words, the storm that had enveloped the capital for dozens of days dissipated silently.

Then naturally there is a counterattack. With this incident, the Grand Scholar cleared the court and the state and county again, and brought out all the old foxes who had been hiding for many years. So far, no one has been able to affect his status.

Tong Yan knew why Jing Jiu did this, but she really couldn't understand it. Could it be that he wasn't afraid of the Grand Scholar usurping the throne?

So many people want to kill you, including me, and even your nephew, if you don't have the title of emperor, how can you survive?

...

...

Liu Shisui's parents in this world were servants of a certain practice sect.

He opened his eyes and saw Feijian.

He started learning swords when he was able to walk, and since then he has done nothing but concentrate on learning swords.

By the time he was fourteen, he was already the strongest in that practice sect, becoming the youngest elder in the history of that sect.

Naturally, his parents no longer need to be handymen.

Then he went down the mountain to join an assassin organization, and confirmed that the son was in the Chu Palace.

Then came the bloody story of morning light and the water truck.

It has been eighteen years since he came here. Apart from learning swords in the sect, he also works as a guard in the palace. This is the first time he has traveled far.

He was in a hurry to get back to the palace, but the scenery was just outside the window and could always be seen.

Those green mountains and green waters are really beautiful, and he often looks a little lost in thought. And it is always easy to encounter things on the road, such as horse thieves blocking cars, and startled horses that hurt people, so he killed a few people and saved a few people. The feeling was familiar, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

When he returned to the capital of Chu State, he suddenly felt that the city was a little strange. When he entered the palace, he felt that these buildings had never been seen before, but those red walls and yellow tiles looked familiar.

Walking into the main hall, came to the window, looked at Jing Jiu lying on the couch, he opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but finally didn't say it.

Jing Jiu glanced at him, Say.

Liu Shisui scratched his head and said, I think my memory is getting worse and worse.

Jing Jiu asked, How fast is it getting worse?

Liu Shisui opened his eyes wide, looked at him and said, Who are you?

Jing Jiu laughed, looked into his eyes and asked, Who do you think I am?

Liu Shisui thought about it seriously for a long time, then shook his head and said, ...I really can't remember, I just vaguely remember that you were very kind to me, and I want to protect you.

He is very smart, but also a very simple person, without any vigilance or defense against illusions.

He wasn't affected before because he always had something on his mind, and he remembered to come to Jing Jiu.

Now that he has found Jing Jiu, he doesn't worry anymore, being gradually integrated into the world by the scenery outside the palace, he naturally begins to forget the past.

Jing Jiu knew why, and knew that there would be no major problems, but he didn't know what he would do next.

Liu Shisui patted him on the shoulder and said, Don't be afraid, I won't leave you alone.

Jing Jiu raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

Liu Shisui walked out of the hall, watching his surroundings vigilantly, just like he had done in the past three years.

...

...

Ask twenty years.

The world is initially determined.

There will be chaos.

All the rebellions in the Qin State were suppressed, the punishment was severe and the rewards and punishments were clearly defined, and the power of the country gradually flourished.

It's just that the princess who was imprisoned has never been seen again, and many people suspect that she is dead.

After the famous faint king, Zhao Guo finally ushered in an excellent emperor.

The young emperor governed the country very well, he refused to give in to Qiang Qin, and pushed even harder towards Da Qi. The only worrying thing was that his health was still not very good.

The state of Qi has a vast territory, a large population, prosperous commerce, and prosperity among the people, but because of the powerlessness of the princes, it has always been in the shadow of the state of Zhao.

Especially that Eunuch He, whose methods were too cool and oppressive, even the most generous businessman was unwilling to bear it any longer.

Those giant merchants bought many assassins to try to kill him, but failed.

The state of Luo was destroyed and was being forgotten at an extremely fast speed. Most of it was returned to the state of Qin, and the rest was divided between the state of Zhao and King Jing of the state of Chu.

The state of Chu is somewhat similar to the state of Qi. The people are proud of extravagant life, and the people of the country are soft-tempered and have no vision and ambition.

It wasn't until the years when Master Zhang was in power that the state of Chu had the faint feeling of being a country in a prosperous age.

The problem is that the seemingly prosperous and powerful state of Chu always has two deadly hidden worries that cannot be shaken off.

The two hidden worries are both of one heart - the heart of disobedience.

Over the years, it seems that Master Zhang's disobedience is indeed well controlled by him, but Prince Jing, who is far away in Cangzhou, has tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands. After being included in the old land of Luo State, his ruled territory has exceeded one-third of Chu State. Who will control his disobedience?

In late autumn, the emperor of Chu State suddenly issued an imperial decree, which alarmed everyone.

Every word of the emperor is an imperial decree. Logically speaking, this is a very common thing. The problem is that the current emperor of Chu is said to be an idiot and rarely speaks.

As for the appointment and removal of officials and the imperial decrees that must be promulgated during New Year's festivals, it is said that they were drafted by the cabinet ministers, and then sealed by Zhang Dashi.

Why did the emperor suddenly make an order in person?

Even more astonishing is the content of the imperial decree.

His Majesty ordered Prince Jing's son to enter Beijing.
