Chapter 157: Destruction and Laxiu [2]
The assassination incident at Rongcheng College really alarmed the imperial capital. While Zhang Lin was still at the scene watching Uncle Yicheng quarreling with the Shu Palace with his eldest brother Zhang Hao, the imperial capital had already sent a special envoy to Rongcheng to take over the investigation work.
When the special envoy set off, he was accompanied by several Jindan stage, superpower emperors, and a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse from the Li family.
The already turbulent situation in Bashu has become even more confusing.
Of course, when the special envoy set off, all parties in Chengdu had speculations about the development of the situation.
But they didn't have time to care about the imperial capital's reaction, they all just waited for the Prince of Shu's Mansion and the Yicheng Bo's Mansion to come up with something.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Lin watched Uncle Yicheng arguing with Ji Yu, the eldest son of the Prince of Shu.
People cannot be resurrected after death, so what we need to do now is to deal with the aftermath.
At least, the Prince of Shu's Mansion must satisfy the Yicheng Bo's Mansion.
As for tracing the murderer, the obvious traces of Dongying Ninjutsu on Li Ranran's body made them target the Dongying people.
When their wrangling is completed, Dongying will be held accountable.
Although Dongying has a god transformation stage, there must be more than one person on the surface.
But facing the joint accountability of the first-class aristocratic families of the Dali Empire and the royal family, it will definitely be difficult to resist.
Dali is a land of vast resources and a first-class family, at least one of which has a cultivator of spiritual transformation.
Its foundation is so profound that it is difficult to fathom.
As for the Li family, as a founder of the country, they are also backed by the largest family in Dali: the royal family.
Its power is not one that the Dongying forces dare to offend easily.
At least that's how it appears.
Now, Li Ranran died under the majestic Dongying Ninjutsu.
When he learned this, Zhang Lin had already roughly predicted Dongying's outcome in this matter.
As for whether it was really done by Dongying people, it is no longer important.
Being the real culprit and taking the blame are equivalent to the Li family and the Shu Palace.
This is also the reason why people in Dongying only dare to act secretly and never dare to act openly.
As for Dongying's confrontation with a top family like the Zhang family, it is a thousand-year grudge between the two sides, which started from the Fuso sacred tree. The entire Blue Star people are already used to it.
If one day the two sides came to terms with each other, it would be a surprising and surprising thing.
Seeing that Uncle Yicheng and Ji Yu were still arguing, Zhang Lin had a headache and secretly asked Zhang Hao: "Brother, when do you think they will stop talking like this?"
Zhang Hao said: "Then what can be done? The man died under the guard of the King of Shu's guards, and the King of Shu can hardly shirk his responsibility.
But the King of Shu couldn't let Uncle Yicheng control him, especially since the Li family belonged to the royal family, so they naturally couldn't deal with a king like the King of Shu. Therefore, how could the King of Shu give up his own interests to appease the Li family?
I’m afraid it will have to be decided by someone in the imperial capital in the end.”
Zhang Lin nodded when he heard this. Blue Star's first-class and lower-level forces all relied on the top-level forces to seek common interests and develop themselves.
Among these top forces, the royal family is the largest, followed by the four major forces: Taoism, school, and king.
Among them, the Taoist sect cultivates immortality and asks for immortality. The school of thought conducts academic research and governs the world, and often cooperates with the royal family. The title of king is a means used by the royal family to check and balance the world.
The world is huge, and just in the homeland of Blue Star, there are countless aristocratic families.
In the continent of Astia, there are still many military families active.
It is the fundamental national policy of Da Li to confer royal family members as kings in order to consolidate imperial power.
But power fascinates the eye.
After being granted the title of king for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some people who want to covet the 95-year-old king. Even if they don't covet him, after being a local emperor for a long time, they will not listen to the announcement.
The power of the king was once powerful, and it was impossible for the royal family to revoke the king.
Because if you revoke the title of king, you will be like the former dynasty, where you will dominate the local area, separate one party from another, and finally let outsiders take over the world.
Therefore, the royal family adopted the favor order of the Han Dynasty to prevent the king from becoming powerful.
As a result, the king-making faction gradually formed a hierarchy similar to the Western chivalry system.
Now, it is even more difficult to lose its tail, and it is difficult to reform.
These historical reasons have formed the current political situation in Dali.
A structure with the royal family as the main body, Taoism as the auxiliary, the king, and the school as the two wings.
As a founding noble, the Li family belongs to the royal family.
Naturally, a family belonging to the royal family would not dare to get too involved with the king.
Even for the sake of family interests, he had to go against everyone.
The relationship between the Li family of Bashu and the Prince of Shu was once at odds with each other because of Li's noble concubine.
With such a relationship, how could the King of Shu give away the benefits?
If Rongcheng College had not been implicated in the Autumn Hunting Ceremony, the King of Shu would have had to station troops here to inspect the college, which would have led to the current situation.
Then if Li Ranran encounters something unexpected, maybe he will have a banquet in some place to celebrate, and then he will send his eldest son to come and ask questions?
Uncle Yicheng, who was quarreling with Ji Yu, also knew this very well.
But something happened and the deceased was irreversible.
Then what he has to do is to suppress the pain of losing his daughter and maximize the benefits of this unfortunate incident.
As the royal family, they naturally want to fight against the king's group at this time to fight for the interests of the imperial capital.
This is the way for the family to survive.
Whoever gets the handle of the King of Shu in the imperial capital can better restrain the King of Shu and divide his power. After all, the lineage of Shu kings has been in power in Bashu for three generations.
Its power has grown, and its minions have begun to extend into the governor's mansion. Everyone in the imperial capital has already had trouble sleeping and eating.
To put it bluntly, if the Shu Palace had not been able to control the attitude of the Bashu Taoist sect, it would have gone into seclusion and self-governance.
At this time, if the Li family can firmly hold the Shu palace, it will give everyone in the imperial capital enough reason to intervene in the situation in Bashu.
Even if the Li family loses a disciple who has the potential to advance to the superpower god, he can get at least double the benefits in return.
This benefit can at least allow the Li family to cultivate two gods.
In fact, anyone in the Li family's palace may be able to use her mother's honor to the world, allowing the Li family's power to reach a higher level.
After all, Da Li has been in the post for three years.
Zhang Linshen believed what Zhang Hao said.
But this matter concerns Dongying, so Zhang cannot wait for them to argue.
In particular, Zhang Hao and Zhang Xi had discussions, and it was roughly speculated that the Dongying people's recent behavior was most likely for Zhang's coronation ceremony.
It was a rare grand occasion.
Because the direct descendants of the Zhang family must be crowned under the Fusang sacred tree.
This kind of grand ceremony only happens once a year.
However, only when a descendant of a clan leader of the Zhang clan like Zhang Xi is crowned, will all the elites from all races and walks of life be invited to watch the ceremony.
Once this opportunity is missed, they will have to wait three years for Zhang Lin's younger brother Zhang Yu to be crowned before they have a chance to get close to the Fuso tree.
Don't miss the opportunity; it will never come back.
Maybe it will be successful this time?
Therefore, the two brothers took advantage of the quarrel between Uncle Yicheng and Ji Yu, the eldest son of the Prince of Shu, to slowly approach Li Ranran's body and inspect it.
His death was very peaceful, and there was nothing special about him on the surface.
However, the Zhang family and Dongying had a thousand-year feud and were already familiar with each other's methods.
As soon as the two brothers laid eyes on each other, they knew that Li Ranran had died in the famous Dongying Ninjutsu - Huajian Wu.
This kind of ninjutsu uses flowers as a medium, so that the person who performs the technique will die unknowingly.
However, when this kind of ninjutsu is performed, there will inevitably be colorful falling cherry blossoms, which is very conspicuous.
The opponent used this ninjutsu to sneak attack a superpower king and succeeded.
The two brothers looked at each other and felt incredible.
Is this Li Ranran a fake superpower emperor?
