Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 317 The wind reversed, who is the one who killed the brother?
The imperial court kept pouring dirty water on Qianyuan, but Qianyuan remained unmoved, which was also helpless.

that's it,
The empire had a weird Spring Festival in a weird atmosphere.

During this period, because the Southern Border Protectorate did not send a single soldier to the fiefdom of the King of Chu, and did not show even the slightest intention of coveting Kunwu County and Kuaiji County, the rumors became less lethal.

People are not stupid.

As Qianyuan gradually washed away the suspicion, various conspiracy theories became rampant, but the death of King Ganke of Chu was not taken seriously.

Really ironic.

But with the passage of time, Chu Wangfu lost its owner, and Chu Wang Qianke, like Qian Yuan and other princes, did not leave any heirs early, which made the people of the fief float.

Similarly, the three divisions of the King Chu Army, which were in charge of defending Kuaiji County and fighting the sea monsters, also suffered losses and setbacks due to poor logistics support and unstable morale.

For a time, Kuaiji County was in danger of falling.

At this time, the people of Kuaiji County are looking forward to Qian Yuan leading his troops to take over Kuaiji County. They don't care who the leader of the king is, the last word is to live.

As the situation deteriorated, some people from Kuaiji County even traveled thousands of miles to Zhaoyao City to petition.

Unfortunately, Qian Yuan remained unmoved.

…………

On the first day of March, the capital of God.

"Could it be that the fifteenth brother didn't do this?" Seeing Qian Yuan's firm attitude, the new emperor Qian Shen was also a little uncertain.

This made Xindi think about something else.

If the court can take back Kunwu County and Kuaiji County, then there will be five counties in the name of the court. Although there is still a little gap with Qianyuan's fiefdom, it is no longer a comparison in magnitude.

In addition, after conquering the Chu army, the size of the imperial army will be more than twice that of Qianyuan's army.

This will greatly improve the current situation of the court.

Not only that, as long as the imperial court operates properly and plays some tricks, taking advantage of the crisis of monster invasion, it may be able to take advantage of the situation to take back the fiefdoms under the names of King Wei and King Yan, and prevent Qianyuan from usurping the throne from the root.

It is simply a big reversal.

This is a huge temptation for the new emperor. He doesn't have the determination like Qianyuan to keep looking at the two pieces of fat in his mouth without being tempted at all.

"It doesn't matter, if God doesn't take it, you will be blamed instead." The new emperor Qian Shen finally made up his mind.

…………

On the fifth day of March, the court's decree was sent to the Chu Palace.

According to the original agreement reached between the imperial court and the kings of Wei and Chu, after the death of King Qianke of Chu, the only fiefdom under the name of the king of Chu was Kunwu County, and Kuaiji County would be returned to the court.

From a legal point of view, there is no problem at all.

There is no leader in the palace of the King of Chu, and naturally no one stood up to oppose it ignorantly.

In this way, on the eighth day of March, under the order of the imperial court, the Dongjing Army led Zhan Tian, ​​led his troops to Kuaiji County, and was responsible for reorganizing the Chu King Army stationed in Kuaiji County.

The imperial court also took advantage of the situation to adjust the defense area of ​​the Dongjing Army, leaving Gushe County to be stationed by the Northern Border Army, and transferred to be responsible for the defense of Donghai County and Kuaiji County.

This made the court more at ease.

The court's move was reasonable and legal, and it was only done four months after the death of King Ganke of Chu.

Even Wei Wang Gantai couldn't say anything, he was just a bit sad.

And things have a sequel.

Seeing that the recovery of Kuaiji County was so smooth, the new emperor Ganshen's confidence was greatly increased, and he didn't wait any longer. On March [-]th, he sent another decree to the Chu Palace.

It is stated clearly that because King Ganke of Chu did not leave any heirs during his lifetime, according to the regulations, the imperial court will take back the fiefdom of Kunwu County, and at the same time move the Chu Palace back to the capital of God.

Of course, in order to take care of King Ganke of Chu, the new emperor Qianshen kindly selected a prince from the clan to succeed him under the name of Ganke, and inherited his title.

It won't let Qian Ke's branch break.

According to the "Great Law", except for those who are "hereditary and unreplaced", descendants who inherit the title will automatically be downgraded, and they will naturally be given the title of King of Chu and changed to Prince.

Anyway, for the lucky one, being able to inherit the title of prince is already a huge profit, and he specially performed a performance to sing praises to the new emperor.

It was a scene of harmony between the monarch and his subjects.

In this way, in just half a month, the new emperor easily took back the land of the two counties, and even lost a king to the court.

It's really impressive.

…………

By the time all the dust settles, it will be April.

The people of the empire suddenly discovered that in this drama, it was not the uproarious king of Qin who benefited from the previous rumors, but the court became the biggest beneficiary.

Conspiracy theorists always like to push back the motivation from the results.

Whoever has the vested interests has the greatest motive for committing the crime. In this way, the new emperor Ganshen suddenly became the biggest suspect in killing Chu King Ganke.

At this moment, such a rumor spread among the gods.

Speaking of the new emperor's talent, he is determined to cut off the local vassals and return the empire to a true unification. In addition to Chu Wang Qianke, the next goal may be Wei Wang Qiantai, or Yan Wang Qianyou.

Or Qin Wang Qianyuan.

Rumors spread that there are noses and eyes, and soon spread from the capital of God to the whole empire, making the melon-eaters listen with gusto.

Of course, there was an uproar.

When the matter developed to the later stage, not only the common people spread it in private, but even the censors reported that they blatantly impeached King Wei, King Yan, and King Qin, and asked the court to withdraw the vassal.

The impeachment of the censor is tantamount to bringing secret matters to the table.

…………

Night, Dagan Palace.

"Bastard, damn, stupid!!!"

In the imperial study room, the new emperor Qianshen, who had been proud of himself before, was now as angry as a lion, throwing the impeachment memorial presented by the imperial censor all over the floor.

If possible, the new emperor would like to kill these censors one by one.

What a group of pig teammates!

The problem is, the new emperor can't do anything, if he really wants to kill these censors, isn't that declaring to the people all over the world that he has a guilty conscience?

In that case, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to cleanse yourself.

The ferment of rumors, the impeachment of the censor, and a series of changes completely disrupted the position of the new emperor. He never expected that things would suddenly change like this.

"It was obviously going well before." The new emperor was very depressed.

Rumors put the new emperor in mid-air, very uncomfortable, he didn't know how to face Wei Wang and Yan Wang's doubts, any excuses were pale and powerless in front of "facts".

…………

Taihua County, Prince Wei's Mansion.

During this time, King Qiantai of Wei was also in a bad mood. The death of King Qianke of Chu was like a stab in his heart, and it hurt just thinking about it.

Now, his two helpers are gone.

"Fourteenth brother, tell me, did His Majesty do this?" Wei Wang's face was gloomy. At first, he also doubted Qian Yuan, but it turned out that Qian Yuan did nothing at all.

There's no reason to say that killing someone doesn't reap the fruits of victory.

This is obviously inconsistent with Qianyuan's usual greed.

"This doesn't quite resemble His Majesty's style." The Fourteenth Prince, Prince Dun Gan Yun was also very confused, "Isn't Your Majesty afraid of stirring up a mutiny by doing this?"

"Style? Hey."

Wei Wang Gantai's expression was playful: "Didn't you hear that His Majesty's temperament has changed drastically recently, and he beat and killed court ladies to vent his anger at every turn, and he might do something crazy."

"This……"

Although Prince Dun felt that the whole thing was strange, he couldn't refute King Wei's words.

For a moment, I had some doubts.

King Wei continued: "I think your Majesty must have been stimulated by the fifteenth brother. He jumped over the wall in a hurry. He took a desperate risk and wanted to nip the crisis in the bud. No, he succeeded."

King Wei is now more and more certain that all this was planned by the new emperor Qianshen.

It's so vicious.

"Then, third brother, what are you going to do?" Prince Dun asked Gan Yun.

A bitter smile flashed across King Wei's face, and he laughed at himself: "What else can I do? I am now a piece of meat on someone else's cutting board, and I am left to be slaughtered."

The invasion of the Candle Dragon Kingdom has completely shaken King Wei's rule in the western region. This originally arrogant king seems to have lost his previous ambition.

Very depressed.

Prince Dun suggested: "Third brother, maybe we can contact fifteenth brother."

"Why are you looking for him?"

Although the king of Wei disdained the new emperor's methods, he also had a dislike for Qianyuan. He didn't forget that Qianyuan hadn't killed him before.

I hold a grudge in my heart.

"If His Majesty really wants to withdraw the vassal state, how can we just sit back and wait for death? Why don't we go with Eighth Brother and Fifteenth Brother to ask His Majesty for an explanation and make His Majesty promise never to withdraw the vassal state."

After a pause, Prince Dun said leisurely: "I'm afraid that His Majesty will follow the 'people's heart'."

"..."

King Wei was silent for a long time and then said: "You are right, we cannot just sit still and wait for death."
