Chapter 1026: Are You Tired of Living? (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Ping did not make sarcastic remarks this time. He was indeed a little disappointed in the actions of the Emperor. He had thought that Emperor Yu’s ability could cleanse the world and let the people of the world live a full life. Unexpectedly, it was still unavoidable.
Perhaps it was because he was injured, or perhaps it was because of the pressure from the Heavenly Palace. In any case, the abdication was really unexpected. If the current situation continued, the world would definitely become chaotic. It might be the sign of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty turning from prosperous to weak.
The Sword Master continued excitedly, “On the shore of the East Sea, there are rumors of a whale falling and all living things being born. Our four top factions have indeed declined in these hundreds of years, but the resources and territories that the Yuhua Shen Dynasty swallowed have turned into soil for the aristocratic families!
“The aristocratic families are supposed to possess the tree of the dynasty, but they will also be squeezed dry by the dynasty. Just like what we did back then, even if Emperor Yu comes to his senses now and wants to get rid of the tumor of the aristocratic families, it’s too late!”
At this point, he said in a cold tone, “The aristocratic families have completely parasitized the tree. Eliminating the aristocratic families is weakening the Yuhua Shen Dynasty. At this critical moment of abdication, would Emperor Yu dare?”
The Cliffmaster chuckled and said, “If Emperor Yu wasn’t injured, he would probably have such courage. Unfortunately…”
In truth, the Cliffmaster was very happy. There were only a dozen or so Sea Moon Cliff disciples left, and they almost lost their inheritance.
Shen Ping shook his head. He knew that after this suppression, as long as the four top factions rose up again, it would be almost impossible to be suppressed again. This was because the Sword Master and the Cliffmaster were not stupid. They would definitely interfere with the Yuhua Shen Dynasty and prevent people like Emperor Yu from appearing. They might be able to take over.
In the past, they disdained to interfere in the imperial court, but after experiencing Emperor Yu’s suppression, how could they not do it? Therefore, the opportunity to rule the world was completely lost this time. He didn’t know what to feel. Perhaps he felt sorry for someone like Emperor Yu.
Another five years later, the competition in the royal court gradually became white-hot. Even the situation of assassinating officials under the enemy prince’s faction had appeared. Moreover, one or two Earth Immortals had died. The entire Imperial Capital could be said to be incomparably chaotic, and their control over the place had weakened further.
The once powerful and intimidating Demon Hanging Division had completely become a peripheral organization. None of the princes in the capital liked the Demon Hanging Division. Even if several commanders joined the princes’ camp, it was difficult for them to obtain any benefits. They could only barely maintain it.
Even the Imperial Capital’s Demon Hanging Division was in such a state, not to mention the local Demon Hanging Division. Even the most basic salary had been delayed.
As time passed, the members of the Demon Hanging Division were not in the mood to eliminate the demons.
This caused the number of demons in all parts of the world to increase again. However, because the Demon Hanging Division was powerful previously, they had eliminated the demons very cleanly. Therefore, even if there were demons growing, they were mostly monsters. In such a world with a strong martial aura, it was not harmful to the people.
The Residence of Dongchang was dozens of times larger than the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Residence. Not only were there exquisite gardens and pavilions in the residence, but there was also a crescent lake. Every summer, one could play on the lake.
Apart from that, the number of beautiful concubines in the residence was even more terrifying. Every day, one could hear the sound of the bamboo music.
“What kind of trash are these dancers? Hmph, they don’t even have 20% of Yun Xia and Yun Yue’s beauty. How many years has it been? Why haven’t they found anything that I’m satisfied with?” the Marquis of Dongchang said angrily.
No one dared to say anything. In fact, it was not that there were no beauties who could be compared to Yun Yue and Yun Xia. However, humans were cheap. What they lost was often more precious than what they obtained. Yun Yue and Yun Xia were snatched away by the Marquis of Zhenbei. He, the Marquis of Dong Chang, had not had the time to enjoy them. Naturally, he had been thinking about them.
“Marquis, the Fifth Prince has an even greater advantage in the Imperial Capital, and I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei rejected the Fifth Prince’s recruitment. Why don’t we take this opportunity to take down the position of Marquis of Zhenbei? Without the title of Marquis, the Marquis of Zhenbei will be at the mercy of you!”
The Marquis of Dongchang’s eyes lit up, “Haha, not bad, not bad. This is a good idea. But how can I take away the position of Marquis of Zhenbei?”
The strategist under him said, “It’s simple. The battle for the throne is getting more and more intense. As long as we secretly spread the news that Marquis Zhenbei is secretly hooking up with the Seventh Prince, the Fifth Prince will definitely participate!”
“Wonderful, wonderful!” The Marquis of Dongchang hesitated again, “Marquis Rong Chang came from the House of Zhenbei. He has the favor of the Emperor. I’m afraid a mere framing is useless!”
The strategist frowned, “This is a problem. Marquis Rong Chang is guarding the north and is highly regarded by the emperor. If he stands up for Marquis Zhenbei, it will indeed be difficult for him to take away the position of Marquis Zhenbei. I think we need to communicate this with the Fifth Prince.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The Marquis of Dongchang nodded.
Half a month later, the Fifth Prince had received the news. To be honest, the Fifth Prince did not take the matter of the Marquis of Zhenbei refusing to be by his side to heart. This was because the Marquis of Zhenbei had not accepted the recruitment of the other princes. Moreover, the Marquis of Zhenbei was only an Earth Immortal. He did not take him seriously at all.
However, now that it was brought up, and after adding fuel to the fire, as well as the fact that the Marquis of Zhenbei might have a secret connection with the Seventh Prince, the Fifth Prince was furious. The battle for the throne had completely turned into a bloodbath. No matter who you were, as long as you were enemies, you would be eliminated.
Therefore, the Fifth Prince’s officials came up with a plan and directly labeled the Marquis of Zhenbei as a troublemaker, arrogant and despotic, snatching women, forming cliques, and so on. There was also all kinds of evidence.
