Sword Tomb wields his sword a billion times, to marry Li Hanyi!
Chapter 62 Emperor Tai'an Reveals His Illness
One month later.
Li Jianyi swung his sword ten million times at Sword Heart Cliff, taking another step closer to the Great Freedom Realm.
period,
Through the morning report from Baixiaotang, Li Jianyi learned that the assassination attempt orchestrated by Emperor Tai'an had been thwarted by Baili Dongjun and others.
Emperor Tai'an ultimately failed to kill the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenxi, which seemed to worsen Emperor Tai'an's condition.
Only the eunuchs who stayed by his side day and night knew the inside story.
"Young Master Li, today's morning paper has been delivered!"
Ji Ruyue looked at Li Jianyi, who was practicing swordsmanship at Jianxin Cliff, and respectfully handed him the letter sent by carrier pigeon.
Then, she and Xiao Hanyi went to take care of Xiao Xue.
Li Jianyi put down his wooden sword, stood alone in front of Sword Heart Cliff, and opened the white paper that recorded recent major events.
"Breaking news! Breaking news! After a month of in-depth investigation by our disciples of Baixiaotang, we have finally found out who the young master Wang Yixing, the chief disciple of Qingcheng Mountain, was who he was!"
He is none other than Li Jianyi, the successor of the Sword Heart Tomb!
In Master Wang's words, it means that Young Master Li and I are destined to meet!
Young Master Li taught me words, explained them to me, and led me onto the path of the Sea King!
This is how the misunderstanding arose between Luo Yanlu and the Luo family!
Seeing the front page, which had been empty for a month, Li Jianyi silently clenched his fist.
"Very well! Master Wang, I have no grudge against you! Why are you treating me like this?"
Li Jianyi has made up his mind that the next time he sees Wang Yihang, he must give him a friendly punch!
Continuing to read the morning report, Li Jianyi saw the undercurrents within Tianqi City. Every day, people in the imperial court impeached officials, requesting that the officials and their entire families be dismissed.
Moreover, this situation is getting worse and worse!
It is clear that Tianqi City is gradually showing signs of chaos!
However, Li Jian paid no attention to any of these matters, as he was too lazy to concern himself with the affairs of the imperial court. Instead, he was more concerned about the upcoming Rebellion of the Eight Princes.
This news naturally wouldn't appear openly in the Baixiaotang Morning Post, but rather in his unique blank-paper version.
Acrostic message: "The Golden Dance Guards of Tianqi City have begun to infiltrate the entire city!"
It seems to be a coup attempt!
Hidden text at the end: "People from all over the world began to flock to Tianqi City, and they all seemed to be retainers that the Green King had taken in when he traveled the world!"
Among them are many masters from the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm! Pillars of the Free and Unfettered Earth Realm!
After reading this acrostic, it's clear that Bai Xiaotang thinks the Green King is about to make a big move!
The fact that the crown prince was appointed ahead of schedule must have deeply affected him!
Furthermore, with the support of the imperial guard, Eunuch Zhuoqing, who could monitor Emperor Tai'an's every word and action within Tianqi City at any time, he naturally became increasingly unscrupulous.
"The Azure King is about to lose his temper!"
After reading the morning newspaper, Li Jianyi gazed in the direction of Tianqi City.
……
Tai'an Hall.
Emperor Tai'an sat at his desk, reviewing memorials.
The old man, Zhuoqing, stood quietly to the side.
"Zhuoqing, have you informed the Third Prince about my illness?" Emperor Tai'an, who was reviewing memorials, suddenly looked up at Eunuch Zhuoqing.
Looking at the imposing Emperor Tai'an, Eunuch Zhuoqing felt a pang of guilt, but then he realized that since Emperor Tai'an had brought it up directly, he must be aware of his recent actions.
He then bowed slightly and respectfully replied, "Yes!"
"It seems you want me to appoint the Prince of Qing as my heir! Zhuo Qing, how dare you interfere with the position of heir?!" Upon hearing Zhuo Qing's reply, Emperor Tai'an slammed his hand on the dragon desk.
see,
Zhuo Qing immediately knelt down, explaining in a state of extreme fear, "Your Majesty, it was Prince Qing who asked me for a favor... that's why..."
"Is it because the King of Qing needed your help that you told him about my illness?!"
I see that you are still holding a grudge about the day Mr. Li came to you for a duel!
So, you can't stand seeing Mr. Li's disciple, Xiao Ruofeng, become the crown prince, can you?! Emperor Tai'an frowned as he looked at the kneeling Zhuo Qing.
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Qing was taken aback, his expression becoming incredibly complex in that brief moment.
Realizing that Emperor Tai'an might have guessed wrong, he quickly used Li Changsheng as a stepping stone to admit, "Yes! Mr. Li crippled my cultivation with two palm strikes in the imperial city that day, leaving me with no hope of entering the Divine Travel Realm!"
Therefore, this old minister harbors resentment towards Mr. Li and does not wish to see anything or anyone connected to him prosper!
"But the Ninth Prince is also my son! And he is indeed more outstanding than the Third Prince! Therefore, the position of Crown Prince can only belong to him!"
Considering the years you have served me, I will not hold it against you for revealing my illness.
Besides, didn't the third brother feel it was unfair?
Then I will step into the situation myself and create an opportunity for him!
If he can prove that he is better than the Ninth Prince, then why not give him the position of Crown Prince?
Therefore, I can now make my illness public!
Let me see if the opportunity I've created by personally getting involved, which I've earned for the Prince of Qing, will allow him to succeed!
If he gets his wish, then the throne will be his!
"If he doesn't get his way, everyone who participated in the coup will die!" Emperor Tai'an said fiercely, clearly aware of everything that had happened recently and what Prince Qing was currently doing.
But he didn't stop him; instead, he was willing to give the Green King a chance!
Because among the eight princes, apart from the ninth prince Xiao Ruofeng, the most outstanding one is indeed the Prince of Qing!
Otherwise, how could the Green King have persuaded the other five kings to join his alliance?
As for King Jingyu, he was always a step below King Qing and King Langya.
After all, King Jingyu could only ally with King Langya.
The Prince of Langya disdained forming alliances with other princes, as he had no interest in the position of crown prince and could even be described as discarding it like trash.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhuo Qing was extremely excited as he listened to Emperor Tai'an's words.
Previously, he could only help the Green King in secret, but now it seems he can help the Green King openly.
Because Emperor Tai'an has now made everything clear!
"Alright, I need to rest now. You may leave."
After Emperor Tai'an finished speaking, he lay down on his side under the dragon desk.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhuo Qing left Tai'an Palace with great excitement, but just as he was about to step out the door, Emperor Tai'an, who was reclining on his side, suddenly stared at him and said, "Remember, no eunuch is allowed to participate in the struggle between the third and ninth princes!"
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
Zhuo Qing's excited heart suddenly felt as if it had been doused with cold water.
If he cannot participate, it will be difficult for the King of Qing to compete with the two brothers, the King of Jingyu and the King of Langya.
After all, the Prince of Langya has the help of the young master from the academy.
However, he was not too discouraged, because it was just a bit difficult, and it didn't mean that he would definitely lose to the Prince of Langya or the Prince of Jingyu.
After all, they've been operating in secret for so long; how could they dare to stage a coup without some confidence?
……
The next day.
On Sword Heart Cliff.
Li Jianyi learned from the morning report of Baixiaotang that Emperor Tai'an had made his illness public.
Instantly!
Intensified factional strife began throughout the imperial court!
In fact, many civil and military officials have already begun to take sides.
"Emperor Tai'an has revealed his illness; it seems the War of the Eight Princes is not far off..."
After reading the morning paper, Li Jianyi muttered something to himself and continued wielding his sword.
He had a premonition that this time, reaching the Great Freedom Realm with his sword might not take as long as a year...
