Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 4224 Chapter 4226 [Behead first and then play]

Haitang then used flying pigeons to send messages to recall Duan Tianya who was far away on Snake Island.

During this period, Cao Zhengchun also received a message from Su Xin. After taking Tianxiang cardamom, he not only did not wake up, but vomited blood. He was suspected of being infected with a strange poison from the Western Regions. This caused the Iron Dan God to be very dissatisfied with him and wished he could eat his flesh raw and skin him alive. News of its skin.

In this regard, Cao Zhengchun was naturally full of grievances.

Yes, he did intend to use Su Xin to manipulate the gods, but he would not be stupid enough to poison Su Xin.

Because Shenhou has such a weakness as Su Xin, once Su Xin dies, he will be completely invincible. So why would Cao Zhengchun kill Su Xin before it was too late to save her?

No matter how stupid he is, he will never be this stupid.

But Shenhou would never listen to his explanation. In fact, he couldn't explain it at all, so Cao Zhengchun was destined to bear the blame whether he wanted to or not.

"What exactly went wrong? I stole that fragrant cardamom from the Queen Mother's palace. There is absolutely no way I could be wrong. Why did Su Xin get poisoned after taking it?" Cao Zhengchun couldn't figure it out.

He himself knew that he had definitely not poisoned this heavenly fragrant cardamom.

Because only the awakened Su Xin is the most valuable to the god, and he can best control the god.

"Could it be that Zhu Tiedan himself poisoned Su Xin just to have an excuse to attack our family?" Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but think, "Or is there someone else instigating it?"

Perhaps, Shenhou might not want to be manipulated by him, or he might deliberately look for an opportunity to start a war with him and fight him to the death, so he would not hesitate to kill the woman he loves.

This did not surprise Cao Zhengchun. Since ancient times, the royal family has had no family ties. In order to fight for power and gain, parents, brothers, and biological children can be sacrificed, let alone a woman.

It is also possible that someone in the middle deliberately instigated them to fight in order to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then destroy them when they were both injured.

In Cao Zhengchun's view, both possibilities are possible. But what kind it is, he still can't figure out. I just feel like I'm in a fog, surrounded by dangers.

One wrong step could lead to disaster, so be careful and walk on thin ice.

…

After Duan Tianya received Haitang's flying pigeon letter, although he was a little surprised, he immediately returned to Hulong Villa with Piao Xu and his child Zhu Lang.

After returning to the villa, he came to see Shen Hou immediately.

"I wonder if my adoptive father has urgently called me back for something important?" Duan Tianya asked with his hands raised.

Shen Hou then recounted the cause and effect of the incident.

After hearing this, Duan Tianya was surprised for a while, and then he realized that so many things had happened during the time he was away.

"What will the foster father do with it?" he asked respectfully.

"I want to completely eradicate this **** Cao Zhengchun." Shen Hou said through gritted teeth.

He had previously wanted to take every step and look for opportunities to defeat the enemy. But now he doesn't think so anymore.

Because before, he still wanted to make great achievements, and he also wanted to be able to ascend to Dabao and be famous forever.

Therefore, he had to carefully maintain his glorious and majestic image, so that all civil and military officials, the government and the public would think that he was wise, brave, loyal and courageous.

We want everyone to have the feeling that "it would be a pity for such a wise, courageous, loyal and courageous person not to become the emperor. If the Zhengde Emperor does not abdicate the throne to him, it would be foolish and incompetent."

Just like Liu Chan, his talents are clearly ranked in the middle or above among the kings of the past dynasties. But because the prime minister was Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan became a well-known faint emperor in history, known as "Adou who cannot be supported." In the eyes of the world, if Liu Chan had abdicated the throne to Zhuge Liang early, I am afraid that the Shu Han would have unified the Three Kingdoms long ago.

Shenhou just wants to achieve this effect. But now he doesn't think so anymore.

…

Because he has two big dreams in his life.

One is to ascend the throne as the emperor in a glorious manner, and the other is to take Su Xin as the concubine in a legitimate manner.

These two dreams go hand in hand.

Because after he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he could justifiably accept Su Xin as his concubine without being blocked by the imperial power.

The late emperor had already succeeded last time if he hadn't stopped it. Because the late emperor once stopped her, the current Emperor Zhengde would never dare to disobey the late emperor's will and grant him a marriage with Su Xin.

Therefore, he can only become the emperor himself. When the time comes, he will not care about the previous emperor's will.

The reason why Shen Hou wanted to ascend the throne in a glorious way was because he didn't want to disappoint Su Xin and let her see that he was actually a conspirator.

But now it is impossible for Su Xin to wake up. Even if he finds the third natural cardamom, and the natural cardamom is not poisoned, Su Xin can only stay with him for another year.

So his dream has been shattered. In this case, why should he think about "watching the government and the public", "famous for generations", and "justified"...

He only has one thought now, which is to take revenge on Cao Zhengchun, and after completely defeating him, he can regain his own throne.

"Then what are you going to do?" Duan Tianya asked.

"Capture the thief first, capture the king first." Shen Hou said decisively, "First kill Cao Zhengchun, the chief villain, and then cut off his wings, and restore peace to our Ming Dynasty forever."

"Father, Cao Zhengchun is the governor of Dongchang after all." Haitang reminded.

Cao Zhengchun, as the governor of the East Factory, holds the official rank of the fourth rank, and also serves as the commander of the Jinyiwei, who is the third rank.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun was also a dignified third-rank official and a close confidant of the emperor. Without an imperial edict, it would be difficult to move him.

"I have collected all the evidence of Cao Zhengchun's lawlessness, causing trouble in the world, plotting to usurp the throne, and corruption and perversion of the law, which is enough to accuse him." Shen Hou waved his hand, "I was just worried that he would jump over the wall and be detrimental to the Holy One, so I decided to kill him first and then report him later. "

"Behead first and show later?!" Haitang and Duan Tianya were shocked when they heard what he said.

Although Hulong Villa has the Shangfang Sword and the Alchemy Iron Coupon given by the late emperor, it has the power to assist the state, supervise all officials, kill first and report later, and do things expediently.

However, in order to avoid causing controversy, Shenhou has always acted conservatively and has never exercised the right to "cut first and then report" or "act expediently".

On the contrary, Cao Zhengchun relied on the emperor's favor and took the initiative to accuse him, harming the loyal and harming the people, and was extremely arrogant.

Just like last time, Cao Zhengchun slandered the Minister of War, Yang Yuxuan, as a traitor to the enemy. Not only did he have him dismissed from office and beheaded at the Meridian Gate, he also sent his family members into the army and sent people to surround and kill them on the way.

And all Shenhou could do was send Duan Tianya and Guihai to save his family.

Therefore, they were all a little surprised when they heard that the gods said that they should "behead first and then report".

"Yes, the late emperor gave me the Shangfang Sword and the Alchemy Book, which originally gave me the power to supervise all officials and act expediently. However, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Holy Emperor over the years, I have been walking on thin ice and dare not take the initiative.

But as a result, all the officials in the court and the people in the world have been humiliated and harmed by Cao's thieves. I can no longer sit back and do nothing. I am ready to take the initiative. Will you join me? "
