Chapter 210, Emperor Renchen's Murder

Just as Pan Long was racing towards Youzhou in the strong wind, what had just happened had been reported to various forces.

Emperor Renchen was the first to get the news. He listened to the spy's report expressionlessly, nodded, and asked the spy to continue without saying anything.

A moment later, he said to Wei Lue, the inner supervisor, beside him, "Grandpa, what do you think about this?"

Wei Lue Renchen's grandfather is Di Renchen's grandfather. He has four daughters, and his youngest daughter Wei Qingling is the late queen mother.

The heads of the inner court of the Daxia court have always been the elders among the relatives of the outside world. According to the Emperor Yichou, who set this rule back then, it was to balance the inner court.

The officials in the inner court are basically eunuchs. The eunuchs in Daxia do not require to be eunuchs, but they must first be orphans. However, they must practice the Bing Xin Jue and the Boy's Merit.

These people are naturally absolutely loyal to the emperor, but they are often more extreme in their work, so they need mature and steady seniors as leaders to avoid accidents.

The inner supervisor of Emperor Yichou was his grandfather. From then on, most emperors of all generations liked to let his grandfather serve as the inner supervisor.

Unless it is...his grandfather is dead.

Wei Lue is one of the top masters in Daxia. He was known as the "Quick Sword" when he was in the world. He once competed with Ren Changsheng, who had been famous for three times. He lost the first time, and tied the last two times.

Since his grandson became emperor, Wei Lue has been in court as an official and has never left the palace again. In the past thirty years, he has devoted himself to practicing, and no one knows how far his cultivation has reached.

Even... many people speculate that he has become a demon god and has an eternal and immortal longevity.

Di Renchen knew that he did try, but failed.

Originally, Wei Lue planned to take it slowly. After the "Yiwu Rebellion" on Dragon Boat Festival last year, he was an intern supervisor at that time, but he could only watch Bi Lingkong rage in the capital of Shendu, and he closed his door in anger.

As a result, when he waited on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, he heard the news of the assassination of the emperor. He forced himself out of seclusion without any effort. He was seriously injured and has not fully recovered.

This choice seems a bit stupid, but in Di Renchen's opinion, it is a manifestation of loyalty and selflessness, which is touching.

So when facing what was happening, he wanted to listen to his grandfather's opinions and take advantage of his grandfather's experience in his 160s.

Wei Lue pondered for a moment and said, "Is this the people from Hedong who want to suppress Luonan's faction, and it has angered them?"

Emperor Renchen did not comment.

Wei Lue continued: "The people under Luo Nan are indeed outstanding in terms of their talents. However, most of them are unruly and difficult to restrain. For such people, they can exchange interests with them, or win over them with their feelings, and they can convince them with their ideals... but they shouldn't play power with them. Hedong is not doing a steady job this time!"

In this world where great power belongs to itself, power is of course useful, but in the face of force, there is no overwhelming advantage.

Most of the rich merchants in the world also have families and industries. They will indeed give in for their families and industries. But at a critical moment - they have families and industries, but don’t have officials or even kings?

At worst, you can break up after one beat, even if you can't die together, he will try his best to chop off one of your arms. Will you lose money?

A son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. Not to mention one arm for someone else’s life, even if you exchange a finger for a finger, it will be a loss!

Therefore, no matter how big the conflict between the court and the world is, they often need to save each other's face in order not to intensify the contradiction to the point of desperate efforts.

Just like last year's Dragon Boat Festival, those who listened to Bi Lingkong's call and killed the imperial masters in exchange for spiritual medicine. The court only issued a wanted order against them, and did not expand the attack to their teachers and families.

It’s not that I don’t want to, I really… I dare not!

This time, conservatives used the method of turning over old accounts to attack the patrol envoys, which was a violation of the unspoken rules.

For many years, the court has either left the past or took it lightly for the masters of the martial arts world who are willing to serve the court. Even if they are genuinely robbed and killed people and set fire, they often only have symbolic punishments.

According to the rules, the cases that the patrolmen did before becoming officials were really not worth mentioning.

That's why Wei Lue criticized this.

Rules are tools to protect the interests of rulers. Di Hedong actually broke the rules by himself, which is indeed "very unstable"!

Di Renchen sighed: "Grandpa, you are so polite. I know you have a little more than a word. This matter... cannot be done by Hedong alone."

Wei Lie smiled and did not respond.

"Hedong himself has not had that big conflict with Luonan. Because he knew, Luonan knew, and everyone knew... I could not pass the throne to Luonan." Di Renchen said, "This is for the good of the country and Luonan. Luonan has a irritable personality. Even if he has cultivated his character over the years, his inner anger has not been resolved. Let him be the emperor, either he becomes a tyrant, or he is depressed and becomes sick."

"Luan is talented and has a hope of immortality, so it is better to concentrate on practicing martial arts." Wei Lue said.

Di Renchen nodded: "My imperial family was backfired by the fortune of Jiuzhou, and it was difficult to cultivate. However, for three generations of descendants, no one has been able to cultivate and live forever since ancient times. Even the great genius of the Sword Emperor in the past could only stop at the level of a master. No matter how talented Luonan was, he would not exceed that of the Sword Emperor. If he focused on martial arts, he might still have hope of immortality. If he was distracted from government affairs, I was worried that he would become possessed and die young!"

For a long time, "lifespan" has been a heavy shackle that plagued the Daxia royal family.

As long as the clan’s children have not yet been released for three generations and have not changed to Emperor Zhao, they will be retaliated by luck. Not only is the difficulty of cultivation, but the longevity effect of cultivation will also become very poor.

For example, Di Renchen himself is a congenital master. He can live to be over 120 years old, but now he is only about 60 years old, but he feels lacking in energy and probably hasn't had much time.

Not only that, among the dozens of emperors and thousands of blood relatives of the Emperors, there are also many who have cultivated into real people and even masters. However, none of these real masters can live to the age of more than 200 and the longest-lived one who should have lived to be 155 years old.

That real person from the royal family had an adventure. He should have lived to be over 300 years old...

For Emperor Renchen, passing the throne to Emperor Hedong not only meets the needs of the court and the people, but also allows the second son to concentrate on practicing martial arts. Perhaps in the future, he can become a demon god and gain immortality.

Isn’t this a win-win situation?

Therefore, he did not object to the power of Dihedong to squeeze Diluan, and even was happy to see it happen.

Even if Di Hedong's approach is inappropriate, he can accept it if he breaks the rules.

No one is born to understand power and tricks. What's wrong with letting the prince try something wrong while he is still the emperor?

But...the premise is that this matter must be led by Di Hedong, not instructed by someone who is interested.

Di Renchen, who is almost at the end of his life, is particularly sensitive to this issue.

He is like a wounded beast, and he will never allow anyone to peek at his nest and cubs!

"Grandpa, this matter can only be done with you." He whispered, "You can check it out for me to see if anyone is instigating Hedong. If so... I will take him with you!"
