Jiang Ziyu also understood this principle, so he remained silent.
Xu Tianji cursed, “This guy deserves to be killed. Previously, he confiscated our rations and often sent assassins to assassinate His Highness. His Highness is too soft-hearted. You treat him as a brother, but he hates you to the core!” Jiang Ziyu felt very uncomfortable and could not refute.
Jiang Changsheng came in front of Jiang Zihan and looked at the weak and afraid Crown Prince with no pity in his eyes.
Jiang Zihan gritted his teeth and suddenly slapped Jiang Changsheng, wanting to absorb his cultivation.
Jiang Changsheng did not dodge and was hit by him. This scene shocked the others. How could Immortal Master Changsheng be hit?
Jiang Zihan was overjoyed and said with a ferocious expression, “You want to kill me… How is that possible!”
In the next second, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with fear.
He was shocked to find that he could not absorb the other party’s true qi at all.
Jiang Changsheng pierced his abdomen and whispered in his ear, “You couldn’t even be the Crown Prince to begin with. It’s worth it to be the Crown Prince for so many years.”
Spiritual energy flowed out from the blade and shattered Jiang Zihan’s internal organs.
He pulled out the Taihang Sword and Jiang Zihan fell to the ground. His body trembled and his eyes widened. In the end, he died with remaining grievances.
Jiang Changsheng shook his sword and looked down at Jiang Zihan’s corpse. He thought to himself,’ If you hadn’t killed your father, you might have been able to live a little longer.’
Jiang Ziyu and the other three were shocked. How long had it been since Jiang Changsheng appeared? Jiang Changsheng did not use any terrifying ultimate techniques, and his killing methods seemed so mediocre. It was precisely because of this that it gave them a huge shock.
Whether it was Ye Jue or Jiang Zihan, they were both existences at the Divine realm!
The Murderous God’s state of mind was like slaughtering a dog and a chicken?
The night was cold, and the heart was cold.
Jiang Ziyu looked at Jiang Changsheng from afar and felt an inexplicable fear.
Jiang Changsheng’s martial strength could already easily threaten imperial power. If he ascended the throne, would he have to listen to Jiang Changsheng in the future?
They were master and disciple, not father and son. If Jiang Changsheng had a son in the future, would he think…
The more Jiang Ziyu thought about it, the more afraid he became. Now, he was even more confused.
He could not figure out why Jiang Changsheng supported him so strongly.
Was it really just for the sake of Great Jing?
At this moment, the White-robed Guards rushed over from all directions and stood on the eaves of the various palaces. Hua Jianxin also came. She raised her hand to signal everyone to stop.
Eunuch Li entered the palace from somewhere. When he saw Ye Jue and Jiang Zihan’s corpses and Emperor Jiang Yu, who was lying on the ground, he was extremely excited.
“Former emperor, your Great Jing is saved…”
Eunuch Li was so excited that his eyes turned red.
Jiang Changsheng came in front of Emperor Jiang Yu and looked down at him from above. “Tomorrow, you will give up your position to King Wei. The Crown Prince rebelled and was fortunate enough to be saved by King Wei. However, you are also severely injured and can no longer control the court.” Emperor Jiang Yu smiled bitterly and said weakly, “I… understand…” In any case, at least his son had ascended the throne.
“Xu Tianji, take good care of His Majesty. Ziyu, Eunuch Li, follow me.” After saying this, Jiang Changsheng walked towards the throne room.
Eunuch Li immediately followed.
Jiang Ziyu hesitated. In the end, under Xu Tianji’s urging, he followed Jiang Changsheng.
On the way, Jiang Ziyu thought about many things and recalled his experiences since he was young. In his impression, Jiang Changsheng had always been as gentle as water to him and the others. He had never been so cold as tonight.
He could not think of what Jiang Changsheng wanted to tell him. Was he going to threaten him or reveal the truth?
The three of them entered the dark throne room in silence. Eunuch Li walked to a long pillar and activated a mechanism. A night pearl above was opened and fluorescent light shone down, shining on the dragon throne.
The supreme throne was so conspicuous in the darkness, as if imperial power was right in front of him.
Jiang Changsheng stopped and looked at the dragon chair. “Ziyu, sit on it. From tomorrow onwards, you will be the emperor.”
Jiang Ziyu walked forward in silence until he ascended the dragon stairs and arrived in front of the dragon throne. He suddenly turned around and looked down at Jiang Changsheng in the hall. He asked, “Master, if I ascend the throne, will the world listen to me or you?”
Eunuch Li watched this scene with interest and remained silent.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Of course I’ll listen to you. You’re the Son of Heaven.
You’re the most important.”
Jiang Ziyu stared at Jiang Changsheng and said, “Master, I can’t figure out why you support me to ascend the throne. Is it just because I’m your disciple? With your ability, there’s no need to support the new emperor. No matter who becomes the emperor, they will be on good terms with you.”
He wanted to be an emperor, but he did not want to be a puppet emperor!
If Jiang Changsheng revealed his ambition, he would not sit on the dragon throne even if he risked being killed!
Jiang Changsheng smiled in relief. At least this kid dared to think and did not trust others easily. He was not blinded by the benefits he obtained.
He looked at Jiang Ziyu and smiled. “You are a talent determined by the heavens, and I am the heavens. I want you to be the Emperor!”
Such domineering words made Jiang Ziyu feel grief and indignation in his heart. A martial artist was actually so disdainful of imperial power. This was the sorrow of the Jiang family.
Jiang Changsheng continued, “Eunuch Li, tell me my true identity.”
His real identity?
Jiang Ziyu was stunned and looked at Eunuch Li in surprise.
Eunuch Li bowed respectfully to Jiang Changsheng and looked at Jiang Ziyu. “King Wei, Daoist Master Changsheng is the real crown prince appointed by the late emperor.”
As soon as he said this, Jiang Ziyu’s expression changed drastically and his entire body trembled.
“When the Jing Dynasty was first established, the late emperor appointed the prince in the late empress’s womb as the crown prince. This was a beautiful story that everyone in the world knew. However, the Mahayana Dragon Tower suddenly attacked and wanted to control imperial power. The late emperor had cultivated in the Mahayana Dragon Tower and knew very well how powerful the Mahayana Dragon Tower was. In order to protect the Crown Prince, he found an orphan from the commoners and replaced the Crown Prince. He sent the Crown Prince to Longqi Temple and secretly changed the heavens. He only hoped that the Crown Prince would be safe for the rest of his life. In the end, the fake Crown Prince and the Second Prince fought fiercely and eventually died. The Seventh Prince, the current Emperor, made way. This was all the plan of the late emperor and the Mahayana Dragon Tower..
