He did not doubt that this 'Murong Bo' was fake, because only very few people knew about the descendants of Yan State and the restoration of the country, and he had long suspected that his father's death was too sudden and too strange.
Chapter 103 Murong Bo killed the Zhao Song Emperor? The new emperor ascended the throne and sought his own death
The most confused person was undoubtedly Murong Bo himself, who was hiding in the Sutra Library of Shaolin Temple. Listening to the discussions of the monks outside, he was really confused:
I was hiding in the Sutra Library and didn't go anywhere during this period. When did I control the Emperor of Song? And I killed those princes and nobles? And I revealed that I was a descendant of the Yan State? Who on earth is framing me?
Then, the only ones who knew that they had faked their death should be Deng Baichuan and Gong Yeqian. Could it be them?
Thinking of this, Murong Bo's eyes flashed coldly!
He even hid the fact that he faked his death from his own son, which shows that he actually doesn't trust anyone. In his opinion, although the rebellion of the four ministers is unbelievable, it is not impossible.
Then, he thought of Yanziwu again, frowned, and murmured: "Being framed by the man in the dark, I am afraid that Yanziwu has been targeted by the Song Dynasty at this time. I just don't know if Fuer can escape in the end.
Well, I can definitely escape, after all, I left a secret passage just in case!"
"Pretending to be me? Well, let me meet you and see if you are a human or a ghost!"
After saying that, Murong Bo quietly walked out of Shaolin Temple and headed straight for Bianliang City.
Meanwhile, all the civil and military officials in the court, in the name of clearing the emperor's entourage and rescuing him, brought people directly into the palace, and Chen Mo was among them.
The palace guards looked at the civil and military officials in the court and were embarrassed for a moment. If they stopped him, wouldn't that be helping the tyrant? If they didn't stop him, wouldn't they be neglecting their duties?
While the guards were struggling, the Northern Song Emperor Zhao Xu arrived at the palace gate with his men and frowned, saying, "My dear ministers, what is the meaning of bringing people into the palace without permission?"
The court officials looked at Zhao Xu with complicated expressions, not knowing whether Zhao Xu was in a normal state or being controlled by someone.
Finally, one of the civil officials spoke up: "Your Majesty, we heard that there was a bad guy in the palace, so we are going to bring people to capture him."
"Asshole, if there are bad guys in the palace, the palace guards will deal with it. Why do you need to bring people here?" Zhao Xu cursed.
"But... we heard... that many princes and nobles were killed... this matter..."
Before the man could finish, Zhao Xu interrupted him and said, "Those people are traitors who intend to rebel. They deserve to be put to death. Do you have any objection?"
Damn, this is so reasonable...
The court officials looked at each other and took a deep breath. Even if there was a rebellion, it was impossible for all the princes to rebel against you, right? If such a thing really happened, it would only mean that you were not fit to be the emperor!
Of course, everyone thought so in their hearts but did not dare to say it out loud.
"What else do you have to say? If not, all of you retreat!" Zhao Xu said again.
Are we really going to return empty-handed this time? Thinking of this, everyone was a little unwilling, but Chen Mo said at this time:
"Your Majesty, let's get this straight. Are you being controlled by someone?"
Zhao Xu was furious: "Huang Miao, come here, arrest these people and put them all in jail to wait for execution in the autumn!"
Although the guards hesitated for a while, they finally decided to follow the order and rushed towards the crowd.
The court officials did not expect that the emperor would take action as soon as he said so, and even called in archers as prepared in advance. They were immediately shocked.
Under the hail of arrows, they thought they were dead this time, but after waiting for a long time, no arrows hit them. They looked up in confusion, only to see Chen Mo standing in front of everyone, and those arrows that were supposed to be shot at them were blocked as if they had encountered an invisible wall.
"Ah this..."
Even the dumbest person would know that it was definitely Chen Mo who did it, but the method he used was too terrifying. Could it be the method of a god?
After blocking all the arrows, Chen Mo flashed behind Zhao Xu and knocked him out with a knife.
Seeing the shocked courtiers and guards, Chen Mo explained: "Don't worry, your majesty is fine, he was just knocked unconscious by me."
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This is not a time of chaos and misery for the people. If the king were to be regicided, it would be a serious matter and no one would accept it!
After a long time, Zhao Xu woke up and asked in confusion: "Ah? What happened to me?"
Seeing this, someone reminded: "Your Majesty, don't you remember what happened before?"
"Oh... I remember now. A man in black who claimed to be Murong Bo gave me a drug, and then I followed his instructions without knowing it.
I seem to have... poisoned those princes and grandchildren with my own hands? Even my children... ah!" At the end of his speech, Zhao Xu screamed and fainted again.
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. My goodness, from what His Majesty said, not only did those princes die, but their own children were also harmed by him. Murong Bo was really vicious!
After a while, Zhao Xu woke up again, spit out a large mouthful of blood, and then said with a listless look: "Come here, draft an order:
I know that I don't have much time left, and I have harmed so many people. I am no longer qualified to be the emperor.
Now there is no heir to inherit the throne, so he plans to pass the throne to...National Master Chen Mo!"
The eunuch in charge of the seal and all the court officials were shocked by his words. Are you going to just hand over the Zhao Song dynasty to someone else like that?
Some people even objected, "Your Majesty, this is not possible. You have no children now, but you can still have children. There is no need to pass the throne to an outsider!"
Zhao Xu sighed and said, "I can't have children anymore. Murong Bo won't leave me any chance to survive. He just recently... abolished my child!"
what! ?
No one expected this to happen. They looked at Zhao Xu with a bit of pity. The minister who had previously spoken out in opposition was speechless for a moment when he heard this.
Someone whispered, "Your Majesty, there are many capable people in the world, maybe you can find someone who can heal you? And...and why do you have to choose the Imperial Master as the emperor?"
Hearing this, the eyes of other court officials lit up: Yes, do we have a chance too?
Everyone thought that the person who spoke did not get along with Chen Mo, but they didn't know that this was exactly what Chen Mo had arranged, just to shut everyone up.
Zhao Xu glared at the man who spoke, and then said, "Although I am under control, I have not forgotten what I have seen and heard. If it were not for the Imperial Master who rescued you, you would have been pierced to death by arrows. Now, not only do you not think of repaying me, but you even say such words?
Although I am an emperor, I pay attention to the way of balance, and I have turned a blind eye to your actions, but don't think that I don't know that each of you has a dirty foundation. Only the national teacher is the best among them. He does not pursue fame and fortune, and has no intention of getting involved in military power and the court!"
After hearing the first half of the sentence, everyone lowered their heads in shame. After hearing the second half, the trusted court officials that Chen Mo had inserted all had strange expressions on their faces.
Zhao Xu continued, "The most important thing is that you must have seen the martial arts of the Imperial Master. Who else can stop the elusive Murong Bo except the Imperial Master? If you are controlled by Murong Bo, won't you be the next me?"
Hearing this, everyone broke out in cold sweats. That's right, Murong Bo could actually enter and leave the imperial palace freely and even control the emperor. He must have very high martial arts skills. If he became the emperor... hiss, forget it, his life is more important!
Finally, Zhao Xu made the final decision: "Okay, stop talking. While I still have a few days to live, I must hurry up and get this done. This is the only way to stabilize the government in the shortest possible time. This can also be regarded as the last thing I do for the people of the world!"
What happened in the palace that day was quickly spread out. After hearing the whole story, everyone secretly cursed Murong Bo for his viciousness. When they heard that Chen Mo would become the new emperor, everyone was stunned and couldn't understand why the situation changed so suddenly: Was it because I didn't wake up? Or was the world changing too fast and I couldn't keep up with the pace?
However, no one thought that Chen Mo could not be the emperor, because along with the news were the words that the emperor had said at the time. As for how the news was spread, of course Chen Mo could arrange it.
The whole court is full of civil and military officials who can't say a word of dissent, so what can ordinary people do even if they really have opinions? It can't change the outcome!
Suddenly, an angry voice was heard in the imperial city: "Zhao Xu, I, Murong Bo, am a descendant of the Yan State and have noble royal blood. You should pass the throne to me. Hurry up and change the imperial edict and pass the throne to me!"
"Thieves, stop being so arrogant!"
Hearing the words of 'Murong Bo', many voices were suddenly heard in the palace. They were the real masters in the imperial city, one of the foundations of Zhao Song, and the reason why no one in the martial arts world dared to assassinate the emperor for so many years.
After a fight, Murong Bo had to retreat because he was defeated!
After disguising himself, the real Murong Bo, who had just arrived in Bianliang City, heard the discussions around him and saw people searching for him everywhere. He was immediately confused: No... I just got here!
After returning to his own Imperial Master's Mansion, Chen Mo took off his disguise and looked towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, muttering: These people are quite skilled, why didn't I encounter such people in the Southern Song Imperial Palace? Could it be that the true martial arts inheritance in the Imperial Palace during the Southern Song Dynasty was cut off?
Just now when he was pretending to be 'Murong Bo', ten masters who had comprehended the state of mind appeared in the palace and came to surround and kill him. These people were definitely inferior to Zhang Sanfeng and Huang Yaoshi, but they were not much different.
He used to wonder why no one in this world had tried to assassinate the emperor. The Murong family was thinking about restoring their country every day, so why didn’t they target the emperor? He originally thought that they were afraid of the army, but now it seems that these real masters of the palace are the key!
Soon, three days passed in a flash, and Chen Mo, witnessed by all the civil and military officials in the court, accepted Zhao Xu's abdication edict and truly became the new emperor of the Song Dynasty!
All the civil and military officials in the court had some ideas at the beginning, but since Murong Bo broke into the palace again a few days ago, their ideas disappeared without a trace. That position is too dangerous, so it is better to let someone with real ability sit in it.
After Zhao Xu handed the abdication edict to Chen Mo, it was as if he had a last burst of energy and unexpectedly broke free from Chen Mo's [Confusing Mind Technique] control. Seeing that he wanted to say something, Chen Mo decisively used [The Technique of Witnessing] to avoid an accident.
Although Zhao Xu's death was somewhat sudden, no one suspected Chen Mo. After all, the imperial physician had already said that he would only live for two days, and Chen Mo had already seized the throne, so there was no reason for him to rush at this moment.
All the civil and military officials in the court were very realistic. They knew who they would serve in the future, so they put Zhao Xu's funeral on hold and continued with Chen Mo's coronation ceremony.
The ascension of a new emperor to the throne is a happy event that should be celebrated throughout the country. The people of the world should also be able to recognize what their new emperor looks like. So Chen Mo sat in the prepared carriage and started a parade throughout the city of Bianliang.
The team was huge, and all the people passing by knelt on the ground respectfully. Some brave ones even looked at Chen Mo carefully.
At this moment, the guards around suddenly shouted.
Although Chen Mo could sense the movements around him, there were so many people around him that it was impossible for him to pay attention to everyone all the time, so when he heard the movement, he turned his head to look in that direction.
I saw a man in black, like a roc spreading its wings, gliding in the air for a long distance, and heading straight towards my car.
Wow, is he really an assassin?
I encountered this on my first day on the throne. Are you trying to force me to show off?
Just as he was about to take action, two loud voices rang out beside him: "Thief, stop being so presumptuous!"
Oh, I forgot, I also brought an expert with me this time!
These two were exactly two of the ten people who had fought with Chen Mo a few days ago. They were all at the Grandmaster level. As for the remaining eight, they stayed in the palace to prevent any thugs from breaking in.
These ten people also have a resounding title, that is, the Dragon Bao Clan!
They were specially created to protect the emperor and the palace, and are kept absolutely secret from the outside world. Outsiders only know that they exist, but have no idea how many people there are, who they are, and how powerful they are!
The reason why Chen Mo knew this was because Zhao Xu told him when he was handing over the abdication edict. These two palace guards were Bao Jiu and Bao Shi. They had the most inconspicuous looks, but they were also the ones who could deliver a fatal blow when the enemy was off guard!
In just a blink of an eye, Bao Jiu and Bao Shi started fighting with the black-clad assassin. For a moment, the field was filled with powerful energy. Fortunately, the people around saw that something was wrong and dodged quickly, otherwise they would have been injured by the aftermath of the battle.
Suddenly, Bao Jiu exclaimed, "The stars have turned? Are you from the Murong family?"
It turned out that the attack he had just launched was hit back by the enemy intactly. Seeing this kind of return of favor in their own way, he immediately thought of the Murong family's Dou Zhuan Xing Yi.
As for why he didn't suspect that he was Murong Bo, it was because he had fought with 'Murong Bo' a few days ago. That was a man who could easily escape from the siege of ten of him. How could he be the assassin who was fighting with two of him?
Hearing the words "the stars have turned", Chen Mo's eyes moved slightly: Is it Murong Fu? Or Murong Bo?
This assassin is really strong. He doesn't seem to be struggling when fighting two people alone? He seems to be a master in the Grandmaster realm!
Never mind, let's catch him first. Thinking of this, Chen Mo directly used the witnessing technique to perform the [Northern Divine Art], and the assassin immediately screamed: "How is it possible?"
In just a short while, one third of his internal energy disappeared. Even if he fought with two masters of the same level, the consumption would be greater, but it would not be to this extent!
However, Chen Mo frowned slightly: Why is it more difficult to absorb his internal energy?
Thinking of this, Chen Mo decided to experiment on his two subordinates. After a while, he finally verified his guess: Sure enough, the artistic conception can not only increase the attack power and mental defense, but also make the resistance to the Beiming Divine Art stronger?
Unfortunately, strong resistance is only relative. When Chen Mo used all his strength to activate the [Northern Divine Art], the black-clothed assassin's internal energy was lost like a flood bursting a dam, and he was captured by Bao Jiu and Bao Shi in just a breath.
After returning to Chen Mo's side, Bao Jiu and Bao Shi did not relax their guard, but whispered: "Your Majesty, be careful, there may be assassins around!"
Obviously, they mistook the sudden loss of their internal strength as another assassin's secret attack.
Chen Mo smiled and did not explain. Instead, he looked at the assassin and said, "Take off his veil for me. I want to see who it is!"
