Volume 1, Chapter 110 The truth about the massacre in the north of Yejia Village.
Beimang Palace.
"Grandpa, I saw it clearly. This man looks exactly like my father, except that his face is a little immature. It's as if they were carved out of the same mold." Chao Yu said to the middle-aged man in front of him, his face still showing some nervousness and his tone was a little hurried.
The middle-aged man in front of him was righteous and wore a red python robe. If you count carefully, you can see that the python has five claws.
In the Kyushu Empire, only kings of different surnames can wear such clothing.
And this person is the current Northern Maniac King, Situ Feng.
He was one of the Thirty-Six Saints of Kyushu and was also the late emperor’s study companion and brother in life and death.
He made great military achievements for Kyushu.
He is also the father-in-law of the current emperor. The third prince is the son of his daughter and the current emperor.
After hearing these words, his expression remained calm without any fluctuation.
Instead, he said to Chao Yu earnestly, "Yu'er, Grandpa told you that you should not panic when encountering things. Now that you see someone who looks like Your Majesty, you are so panicked. How can you inherit the throne and rule the nine states in the future?"
His voice was very soft, but it contained a certain power of order that could resonate with people's hearts.
This is the power of a saint.
Chao Yu knew that he had indeed lost his composure.
He said, "Grandpa, it's Yu'er who is frightened." He paused here.
Then he continued, "But Grandpa, I occasionally heard a rumor that my father had given birth to a son after me. I wonder...?"
Situ Feng interrupted Chao Yu.
"You know it's a rumor, so why bother bringing it up?"
"Yu'er understands." Chao Yu lowered his head and frowned.
He said nothing more, but was deeply confused.
There has been a rumor in Kyoto that the current emperor has given birth to four sons.
However, they all discussed it in private, and no one dared to speak openly.
"Okay, the poetry conference will be held in a few days. Go down and prepare. Don't forget what you should do most now. As for the rest, Grandpa will naturally arrange it. You don't have to worry about it."
Chao Yu hesitated to speak. He still wanted to ask clearly, but finally chose to remain silent.
Who is Situ Feng? As one of the Thirty-Six Saints, he can naturally see what he is thinking.
"Don't worry about it. Everything in this world cannot be taken away by reason. Even if it is, Grandpa can make it become what it is."
Upon hearing this, Chao Yu bowed respectfully and then retreated.
Since grandpa said so, he had nothing more to say.
"But..." The scene outside the city gate today inadvertently emerged in his mind. Anger emerged in his eyes and he gritted his teeth.
"Just wait. Even if Grandpa doesn't touch you, I won't let you go. Damn it."
After Chao Yu left, Situ Feng stood up and walked to the window, staring at the sky in the distance in a daze.
He sighed softly, "What a sin."
A scene from the past came to mind.
The Kyushu Empire is rumored to have been founded by ancient gods.
The Chao clan was chosen to become the Tian clan.
He was also blessed by the gods and given the blood of gods to maintain the royal lineage of the Kyushu Empire for a thousand years.
The Jiuzhou gods are different from other gods in the East China Sea.
Their talents are stronger, and the power of their blood is more intense.
Not to mention that all the members of the Chao clan royal family are born in the state of separation and union, if they are equipped with unique skills, they can enter the eighth realm and the holy realm in just a few decades.
However, this gift from God also comes at a price.
The price is that although the Jiuzhou royal family is rich in divine blood, their lifespan cannot exceed three hundred years. There is no hope for them to live forever and they cannot become immortals.
And the royal bloodline can only be passed on to three descendants.
This is like a curse from God, which has always accompanied their blood and coexisted in their genes.
What is even more bizarre is that all descendants of the Chao family are boys, and this has been the case for thousands of years.
And she can only give birth to three sons in her lifetime.
Therefore, people with the surname Chao have no daughters.
Only men.
The ancestor of the Chao family even formulated the family rules for royal succession.
The eldest son joined the army, the second son entered politics, and the youngest son inherited the throne.
However, even so, the princes will certainly fight each other in order to seize the imperial power.
The father of the current emperor, who is also his brother in life and death, succeeded to the throne as the eldest son, because the second and youngest sons both died at his hands.
Therefore, the royal family declined. Although each person could give birth to three sons, of these three sons, usually only one could survive.
This is the bloodshed that is inspired by people's desire for power.
In the Jiuzhou Dynasty, brothers will kill each other once every hundred years.
But the current emperor is an accident.
Fifteen years ago, he actually had his fourth son with a woman from the fox tribe.
On the day the fourth prince was born, the entire imperial city was shaken.
This kind of thing has never happened in history.
The birth of the fourth son also caused a storm in Kyushu.
Some people say that this child is a gift from God, a blessing from God, a gift from heaven that will surely protect the nine provinces and bring peace to the world.
Some people also say that this boy is a curse and exists beyond the permission of the gods. If the gods knew of his existence, they would certainly no longer protect Jiuzhou and Jiuzhou would fall into his hands.
There were many different opinions, and the two extreme factions began to fight openly and secretly.
So late one night, the fourth son disappeared in the huge palace.
When the mother of his fourth son learned about this, she made a scene in the palace.
She gave birth to a prince, but instead of being honored as a mother, she was accused of being the bringer of misfortune.
All the blame was directed at her.
Unable to bear the humiliation, the fourth prince's mother left the imperial city and began to search for her child in the vast East China Sea.
No one knows where she went, let alone whether she is still alive. We only know that someone saw that the day she left, the dean of Tiandao Academy also followed her out.
The next day, a few mountains disappeared and the place was in ruins a hundred miles away, and the dean of Tiandao Academy also announced a retreat.
As for where the prince went, not many people know.
He was one of them. In order to stabilize his imperial power and calm the court situation, the current emperor secretly had someone bring him to the northern gang.
He only found out about it later.
The first thing he did when he found out was to send people to massacre all the villagers.
The reason was simple: he had only one daughter, and his daughter's child was the third prince.
He is also the youngest son. The existence of this fourth son will definitely threaten the throne of his grandson.
However, the person who did this told me that no one in Yejia Village would be left alive.
Why is it like this now? Isn't he dead? If it is really as similar as Yu'er said, it would be too far-fetched to say it is a coincidence.
"Someone come."
After a while, a young man appeared behind him.
"What are your commands, Your Majesty?"
Situ Feng frowned and said, "Go to Lin County and investigate what happened in Yejia Village back then to see if there are any omissions. If there are, then there's no need to keep the county magistrate here."
"I'll do it right away." After saying that, he disappeared out of thin air.
