Eunuch Li sighed. How would the world know about the struggle behind the imperial power?
Jiang Ziyu’s expression was extremely ugly. He stared at Jiang Changsheng and asked, “So you supported me to ascend the throne to take revenge on the Mahayana Dragon Tower and my father?”
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and laughed, “That’s only one of the two reasons. The second reason is that you’re my son, my biological son.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning and looked at Jiang Changsheng in disbelief.
Eunuch Li was also frightened.
He originally thought that Jiang Changsheng supported King Wei because he did not want Great Jing to change its name to Chu. He did not expect there to be such a reason.
“Impossible… Impossible… How can you be my father?” Jiang Ziyu slumped on the dragon throne, finding it difficult to accept.
Jiang Changsheng said, “If the Jing Martial Ancestor can swap me, why can’t I swap the son of the emperor he appointed?”
Jiang Ziyu looked up and gritted his teeth. “The Double Buddhas of Disaster guarded my mother and saw my birth…”
Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “I didn’t kill the Fortune Buddha because I
wanted him to testify. No one would have thought of this.”
Jiang Ziyu shouted at the top of his lungs, “I don’t believe it! What evidence do you have to prove it?”
As soon as he asked, his expression froze. Eunuch Li also widened his eyes.
At this moment, golden Dao patterns appeared on Jiang Changsheng’s forehead. Eunuch Li could not help but look at Jiang Ziyu and compare them.
Jiang Changsheng’s Dao pattern was exactly the same as the birthmark between Jiang Ziyu’s eyebrows.
Jiang Ziyu was stunned.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Your mother, Hua Jianxin, guarded you with the
White-robed Guards day and night. Although I threw you under someone else’s name, your mother and I have always accompanied and protected you.” Jiang Ziyu had no choice but to accept the truth. He asked in pain, “Why are you…”
Jiang Changsheng said, “At that time, I didn’t know the strength of the
Mahayana Dragon Tower.”
“Ziyu, you’ve wanted to be the emperor since you were young. Now that I’ve sent you to the throne, are you still clinging to the past? You only need to know that if you become the emperor, I’ll be your greatest backer. Even if the sky falls, I’ll support you. Isn’t that enough?”
His words were deafening, making Jiang Ziyu tremble.
Eunuch Li added, “That’s right, King Wei. If His Highness did not swap you into the palace 20 years ago, you can only stay in Longqi Temple as a Daoist priest now. Although you have His Highness’ guidance, that’s only in terms of martial
arts. If you don’t stay in the palace all year round, how can you control the government? Just like the current Emperor and the current Crown Prince, they have been practicing martial arts with the Mahayana Dragon Tower since they were young, making their ability to govern a country extremely poor. Aren’t they just martial artists as emperors? Will they be of help to the country?”
“The Mahayana Dragon Tower could force the late emperor to lower his head. King Wei, you have also witnessed the power of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. If you were the crown prince at that time, what would you do?”
Jiang Ziyu felt guilty. All these years, although he had been kept in the dark, Jiang Changsheng and his real mother had always accompanied him and taught him. When he was unhappy in the crown prince’s residence when he was young, she would always comfort him. He had even jokingly called her his mother.
That’s right.
I want to be the Emperor!
How could the Emperor be stubborn about this?
Jiang Ziyu took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Changsheng again. “Father, I’m weak and have disappointed you. However, even if you support me to ascend the throne, the Mahayana Dragon Tower will definitely make a comeback. After all, the current Emperor has more than two sons.”
“The Four Seas Sage told me that the Mahayana Dragon Tower is a transcendent holy land that controls several dynasties. Ye Jue is only one of the disciples. Father, can we really defeat such a colossus?
Jiang Changsheng turned around and looked at the bright moon outside the throne room. He said, “It’s not like 20 years ago. Watch how I suppress that insufferably arrogant tower. You just have to be the emperor and manage this country well.”
“From now on, the Jiang family’s imperial power is only in the hands of the Jiang family..”
