Chapter 378: The Most Ruthless Imperial Family
Chapter 378: The most ruthless imperial family
The capital has been very lively these days. Many people gathered together to discuss the appearance of fairy islands on the North Sea, fantasizing that they could seek spiritual elixirs and immortality. Some of them were already ready to go north to seek the road.
The people were talking, and Song Huizong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also vaguely heard the wind.
The long-term illness in this period made him feel weak and inactive. A group of quack doctors could not find out what disease he had committed, which made him feel even more heavy. He didn't want to die, he had not lived enough, he didn't want to give up his status above ten thousand people, and he wanted to continue to enjoy this free and easy life.
So when Huizong heard about the Immortal Island Immortal Pills, he immediately became interested. Coincidentally, Zhao Kai also came to report.
After returning Zhao Kai to the scene, Huizong hurriedly asked, "Kai'er, is it true that you heard that you have news about the Immortal Island?"
Zhao Kai said respectfully: "When I go back to my father, I did investigate some news. I knew that my father was in poor health, so I was worried and never dared to forget it. Not long ago, I heard that the fairy island appeared in the North Sea, so I dared not relax and kept chasing it. I thought that it would be great if I could ask for the elixir to give it to my father, so that my father would live forever, and let me be forever forever forever. I had to protect God. After careful investigation, I finally found some important clues. I did not dare to hide it, so I hurried to report to my father!"
Huizong was surprised and said, "Kai'er won my heart the most. Kai'er, come on quickly!"
Zhao Kai bowed and said, "It's the father! According to the investigation of the sons, a fairy island did appear on the North Sea. Many fishermen saw it. It is said that the fairy island is called Penglai Mountain. There are immortals who settled on the mountain and refined immortal pills there. According to the fishermen, the immortal sang a song and said, "I am a fairy in Penglai for one hundred days. I am willing to give the heaven and dragon a fairy pill to enjoy the age of heaven and earth'!"
Huizong was shocked and overjoyed, shouting: "Tianlong? Isn't it just referring to me? I am willing to give me a fairy pill to enjoy the years of heaven and earth. Haha, this is a great blessing, a blessing!"
Zhao Kai said: "Yes, Father, this is a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty. As the sons see it, the most important thing is that the father should send a confidant and important minister to Beihai to seek immortal pills, and also bring a band and a ritual army to show his father's respect for the immortal! Moreover, this confidant must understand etiquette so as not to anger the immortal unhappy!"
Huizong nodded and said, "Kai'er's words are reasonable. Since that's the case, then send Cai Jing to him! As the Grand Tutor, he is full of knowledge and will be careful to see the immortal."
At this time, Zhao Kai said again: "Father, the immortal has only been waiting for a hundred days. More than fifty days have passed, so Grand Master Cai must take action immediately. If the time is delayed, then..."
Huizong was shocked and said, "That's right, Kai'er, grind quickly. I want to draw an order to let Cai Jing take action immediately!"
.....
When Zhao Kai met Huizong in the morning, Cai Jing took his people to Beihai at noon. This time, he would not be able to come back for fifty or sixty days. Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others did not doubt this. These days, they had also heard about the Immortal Island, so they had long guessed that Huizong would send people to him.
The incident on the Immortal Island was in a turmoil. It was only on the tenth day that the news of the spiritual wisdom from the South China Sea would be suppressed.
It is reported that the ten thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the South China Sea is a rare blood lucidum, which is even more precious than the Tianshan snow lotus. If it can be used to refine elixirs, its effect will not last forever, but it will not be invaded by all diseases.
After Huizong learned the news, he became interested again.
Although immortality is good, if you are plagued by illness for a long time, immortality is not pleasant. If you can live forever without any disease, then you will be happy and you will really become an earth immortal.
Thinking of this, Huizong convened Gao Qiu and prepared to let him go to the South China Sea to find Xuezhi.
When Gao Qiu saw Cai Jing leaving, he left again, only Yang Jian was left in the capital, and Zhao Yunti was surrounding the outside to suppress Fang La. If something happened to this capital, wouldn’t it be impossible to take care of it?
But Huizong was forced to do so, and Gao Qiu could not send a message to Zhao Yunti to ask for a solution. In the end, Gao Qiu had to lead his troops south to find Xuezhi.
On the third day after Gao Qiu left, Zhao Kai sent a killer to take action.
Except for Yang Jian and Su Yuanjing, all the officials who did not surrender to Zhao Kai were assassinated, and then replaced them with Zhao Kai's confidant officials. In this regard, Yang Jian noticed the danger in the early stage of the heavy rain, so he wrote a letter to Zhao Yunzhen. Unfortunately, his messenger had just walked out of Tokyo City and was killed by Zhao Kai's assassin and robbed the letter.
In the following days, Zhao Kai increased his speed and expanded his strength. He first bribed the imperial guards, and assassinated the imperial guards' leader, replacing Zhao Yuntian's people with his own.
More than ten days later, Zhao Kai has taken over 80% of the control of Tokyo!
Of course, the reason why he was so quick was that Ximen Qing and Zhang Yu put in a lot of efforts. Because those leaders of the imperial guards were killed by Ximen Qing and Zhang Yu, otherwise Zhao Kai would not be able to control the military power in the capital at all.
At this time, Zhao Kai's residence was greeting Ximen Qing attentively.
These days, Ximen Qing has made suggestions, allowing Zhao Kai to gradually stretch his wings, expand his strength, and let him taste great sweetness. Naturally, he has to curry favor with Ximen Qing.
Pour a cup of good tea for Ximen Qing, Zhao Kai smiled and said with a smile: "Son of the Holy Son, now I have taken 80% of the control of the capital. If I ascend the throne, no one can stop me... But my father is healthy and doesn't look like his life is about to end. What should I do?"
Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment, then took a sip of tea, and then said earnestly: "Your Highness, I can't explain clearly about life. The head sect said that Your Majesty's life is approaching, and this is just a rough estimate. If Your Majesty takes some spiritual medicine to change his fate and increase his life, it may not be possible! So we have to wait. Your Majesty sends more people to monitor every move in the palace!"
Zhao Kai sighed, frowned, and said, "This... it is not a good thing to delay like this. Yang Jian has sent secret messages to Zhao Yunzhen many times, and I have intercepted them one by one. But it is difficult to see what reputation Zhao Yunzhen hears, it is easy to have bad things. What should I do?"
Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes and said casually: "Hey, I can't do anything, I can't go to the palace to assassinate Your Majesty!"
The speaker has the intention of "no" heart, and the listener has the intention!
Zhao Kai was stunned and then thought about Ximen Qing's words.
That's right, if he doesn't die, then I will help him! The most ruthless imperial family, for the sake of the throne, I don't care about your family affection!
Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes and slowly made some determination in his heart.
Afterwards, Zhao Kai changed his concern and stood up and said, "Son of Holy Son, I have some big things to do. I want to go to the palace. Haha, I will chat with the Son of Holy Son next day!"
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Your Highness, walk slowly!"
Immediately, Zhao Kai left.
Looking at Zhao Kai's departure back, Ximen Qing stood up and walked towards Qiufeng Pavilion, and said to himself: "I'm really cruel. For the sake of the throne, hey... it's time to leave!"
