With the destruction of Buddhism, the Dagan court showed its power to the outside world, proving that it was no pushover.
But this matter is a little different from what I imagined.
That is, the third prince who was in charge went out upright and came out lying down.
It was the Jiangnan martial arts forces that took action, even though they were the Third Prince's grandfather and had once been allies of the Emperor.
But no matter what, the majesty of the Emperor Da Gan could not be touched. At this time, the Emperor Da Gan was in the Imperial Garden. The spring flowers were in full bloom, competing for splendor.
Looking at the third prince lying in the coffin, even though he was sitting on the throne, he felt a little sad.
Things are unpredictable, life is like this, even a prince can die because of these accidents.
After all, mortals are so fragile. If they cannot become celestial beings, they will eventually become ants.
Emperor Dagan had an expressionless face as he gently touched the cold face of the third prince as he lay in the coffin.
Because there was freezing black ice placed in the coffin, and the Third Prince's body had been tempered by cultivation, it was not so easy to rot.
The Emperor of Dagan suppressed his anger. The prince was the embodiment of imperial power. These people dared to attack the imperial power, which meant that they did not take the Dagan court seriously at all.
He also didn't take the Emperor Da Gan seriously, and the current facts were like this: "Are you saying that this was done by Nangong Xuan and the other four? Were they discovered by the Third Prince practicing evil skills?"
Bai Luo, Zhuge Zhengwo, and the secret guard who was protecting the prince.
At this moment, they were extremely depressed and didn't know how Emperor Dagan would deal with them.
Bai Luo and Zhuge Zhengwo were fine. After all, their mission was to wipe out Buddhism. Although the third prince was dead, it was not a big sin for them.
Moreover, even if we destroy several major families in Jiangnan, we can still use them. At most, we can deduct their salaries for a few years, which is not a big deal. There will be no problem with their official positions.
After all, although there are many great and supreme masters, there are only two of them who can investigate cases and manage the detectives under them.
But for the secret guards, things were a little different.
His mission was to protect the prince, but he failed.
This is dereliction of duty, and he is not irreplaceable. His only bargaining chip is his loyalty to Emperor Dagan and his cultivation.
He knelt there, saying nothing, like a shadow.
Bai Luo had no choice but to step forward and said, "Yes, Nangong Xuan and the other four are missing and their whereabouts are suspicious. However, there is still some of their internal energy left in the cave.
Moreover, the qi and blood cultivation of those four people suddenly reached perfection. Except for Nangong Xuan who is younger, they are only eighty years old now.
The youngest of the other three is 127 years old, and the oldest is 150 years old. They may die at any time.
In this state, if they wanted to fight, they would have to use all the power of heaven and earth to kill them in one blow, but they still fought with us.
And there is no sign of decline or loss.”
After hearing this reason, the Emperor nodded, seemed to think for a moment, then looked at Zhuge Zhengwo and asked, "What about you? Zhuge Shenbu, what do you think?"
Zhuge Zhengwo had already thought of an explanation and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to see those four people as suspicious, then you have to look at their motives.
None of the four supreme masters in Jiangnan stayed behind, and they all came to help the court destroy Buddhism. They did not even ask for any benefits or bring any disciples.
You have to know that Jiangnan is rich, and the four of them are all wealthy, so they may not be interested in the treasures of Buddhism.
Moreover, the Buddhist forces in the Jiangnan region were weak and had no influence at all. If they destroyed Buddhism, they would gain very little power.
However, the four of them helped the imperial court, although their previous plan was to provide bargaining chips for the third prince.
However, the three major families are not one and the same, only the Nangong family has some relationship with the third prince.
It is impossible for the other two families to come to help the Third Prince and the Supreme Grand Master without any reward.
Even if it is the Nangong family, they have two supreme grandmasters, and at most only one person will come.
But now that all four of them are out, there must be something fishy going on. Now it seems that perhaps their purpose was not simple from the beginning.
They are not trying to help the Third Prince; their goal is simply to cultivate evil skills and obtain the corpses of the supreme masters of Buddhism."
Zhuge Zhengwo spoke freely, and there was not a single flaw in his words, because this was the truth about why the three major families helped the court.
It's natural that people can't find any fault with it.
After hearing this, Emperor Dagan's eyes softened slightly when he looked at Bai Luo and Zhuge Zhengwo, and finally he turned his gaze to the secret guard.
While he was thinking, Zhao Que, who was standing aside, spoke:
"Father, this is all my fault. If I hadn't gone to the cemetery and been knocked unconscious,
Then my brother wouldn't have suffered this disaster. It was my son who harmed my third brother. Please don't blame others. I am willing to bear the responsibility. I also ask your Majesty to punish me."
Zhao Que spoke sincerely at this moment, his face was pale, and it seemed that he had not had a good rest for several days.
Da Gan heard this but didn't say anything. Under the current circumstances, he couldn't punish Zhao Que anymore.
If Zhao Que was punished, would it mean that it was the fault of their royal family? And it was obvious that it was the fault of the four supreme grand masters and had nothing to do with their royal family.
Of course, it is just that they cannot be punished openly. I don’t know what they think in private.
Thinking of this, the Da Gan Emperor revealed a loving look, looked at Zhao Que and said, "This matter is all due to the wolfish ambitions of Nangong Xuan and the other three. What fault are you in? This is all their fault."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Que hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Father, those four great families have harmed my brother and defied the imperial authority.
It is because of me that my brother has suffered this disaster. I hope Your Majesty can entrust this task to me.
Even though I have no cultivation, I will definitely destroy the Jiangnan family and avenge my third brother."
There is sincerity and deep brotherly love in their words.
When Emperor Dagan heard this, he knew that Zhao Que usually tried to avoid court whenever possible and was not very active in attending court.
It was I who ordered him to destroy Buddhism, but now he has volunteered. I guess the death of the third brother must have been a big blow to him.
