Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 661

Chapter 661: Regicide

A sneer appeared on Fang Xing’s lips, thinking of some historical novels, in which the prince was obviously in a precarious position, but he dared not rebel, and could only cry and beg for mercy, or pretend to be a man of integrity and noble, and wait to be killed, but in fact he was trying to bind him with family affection and reputation.

Then they throw out inventions and benefits one after another… causing people to be surprised and cheer… In the end they are all reformists and it is not grand at all.

In fact, they are all very disgusting.

It is easy for a prince to rebel, and it is even easier for a crown prince to rebel. As long as the emperor dies, the crown prince will be the new emperor!

As for the things like “unjust name”, “unsmooth words”, “axe shadow and candle sound”… it’s all bullshit!
Only if you survive first, you are qualified to consider other issues.

As for the chaos in the imperial court? Chaos in the whole country? The decline of people’s livelihood? We can deal with them one by one. Anyway, the dead cannot talk about this.

The emperor is selfish!

No one is a saint and everyone makes mistakes.

Even if a wise ruler kills the prince in his later years and builds ten “Si Zi Terraces”, what is the point?
Therefore, if you want to be an emperor, or even a good emperor, you must first put yourself above all the people in the world!
Everyone has selfishness, and the emperor is the most selfish. Otherwise, how can you be called the dictator of the world?

Even in the so-called “prosperous times” of ancient times, there were still frozen corpses on the roadside, which was far inferior to the modern times…

“My heart is my nature… Since I am testing my heart, I will just follow my heart.”

“So, for my own safety… I must kill the king immediately!”

“The longer the emperor is in power, the more danger I will face.”

“If I were to be deposed as the Crown Prince someday, it would be even more difficult to climb up the ladder…”

“This world seems to be playing Werewolf. No position is safe. Only the position of the emperor is a little bit safe…”

Fang Xing paced a few steps.

The eunuchs and guards below thought that the prince was worried about the criticism in the court, and had no idea that their beloved prince was already considering something extremely outrageous.

“Warfare should be as unpredictable as the shadows, and as powerful as thunder! To kill the king, you have to take him by surprise… I have an advantage now. After all, the prince was cowardly before, and was brainwashed by the Confucian monarch, minister, and father… He has not been forced into a desperate situation, so no one would have thought that I would suddenly kill the king. This is the basis of surprise!”

“There are many ways to kill the emperor, but military rebellion will cause the most noise and cause the most aftereffects, so it’s best not to use it if possible…”

‘Or Zhuan Zhu assassinated Wang Liao, a white rainbow piercing the sun… one assassin could do it.’

Of course, it’s hard!

After all, there is no extraordinary power in this world. The strongest can only defeat ten people. No matter how skilled you are, you will be chopped into meat paste if you are besieged by a hundred guards.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, assassination might still be possible, but as time went on, the rules became more and more strict, and assassins might not even be able to sneak into the palace.

Not to mention, if the person is entrusted with the task, Zhuan Zhu can turn into Qin Wuyang, which will be even more fun.

“The best assassin is actually the prince himself! After all, he is close to the emperor… ordinary people would not dare to search the prince’s body.”

“And there is no one in this world who is so extraordinary that he would risk his life to dethrone the emperor.”

“Of course, this won’t end well… the King of Thailand will die of laughter.”

‘Even if the assassin succeeds, or even commits suicide on the spot, according to conspiracy theories, whoever gains the most benefit is the murderer! The prince will also bear the criticism, but this is much better… In politics, there is a big difference between having a hand in the way and having a layer of skin!’

“So, it’s better to poison him, or even make it invisible so that people will think he died of illness!”

“For modern people, this is very simple. First, find a smallpox patient, then inoculate yourself with cowpox, and then get close to the emperor to pass on the smallpox…”

“The more steps there are, the easier it is to make mistakes… and you don’t necessarily die if you get smallpox. You may even get pockmarks and survive…”

Fang Xing was thinking quickly about some chronic toxins, the kind that people couldn’t see the problem with.

Suddenly, he looked at the back of his hand.

Rays of silvery-white light gathered together and transformed into the Gate of the Heavens.

Then, an inexplicable heat flowed through his body, and the mark of the Gate of the Heavens immediately disappeared…

“I’ve already used the cheating device, and if there’s another cheat… I’m a little ashamed.”

Fang Xing sensed it silently and found that the cheat was not that big. Not to mention recovering his immortal strength, he hadn’t even recovered his Qi training stage. It was just that there was an extra internal force in his Dantian, which turned him into an internal strength master.

This internal energy was not very useful. It only made him more alert and longer-lived, but it was difficult for him to live beyond the limits of ordinary people, and it was even more difficult for his body to withstand swords and knives.

“But if I were to go on the field, I would definitely wear multiple layers of heavy armor… and then use the complex terrain to fight guerrilla warfare…”

“As the only extraordinary person in this world, I am already… invincible?”

“A small opening is not considered an opening…”

Fang Xing complained, and waited silently for a moment. He didn’t see the angry Jie Ling coming to attack, so he couldn’t help but chuckle, knowing that this attempt was successful.

The world spirits do not have the power to interfere with the test…

…

“Your Highness?”

The purple-robed eunuch Ma Gonggong was looking at the prince from below. For some reason, he felt something was different.

It was as if all the depression of the past few years was swept away.

“Go back.”

Fang Xing sighed and returned to his bedroom.

“Your Highness?”

In the candlelight, a beautiful lady in palace dress was waiting. She was Li Rubi’s Crown Princess, Sun.

This Sun was from the Duke of Weiguo’s mansion. She was the Duke of Weiguo’s legitimate daughter and gave birth to a son and a daughter for Li Rubai.

In addition, Li Rubi had two concubines, both of whom came from scholarly families.

The several concubines were daughters of minor officials, small households and merchants, all of them were stunningly beautiful.

“The nobles, civil servants, and merchants have all been taken into consideration. This is definitely a long-term plan…”

‘The emperor was very concerned about Li Rubi back then. No, maybe he is even more concerned now. After all, his mother’s family is too strong, which is not good for the royal family… The current prince is just right. The King of Thailand, the King of Kang and others are actually like a grinding stone. However, people have their limits. If they are sharpened for too long, they may go crazy! ‘

Fang Xing shook his head, stepped forward and grabbed the Crown Princess’s hand: “How are Bao’er and Fu’er?”

“Everyone has gone to bed. I heard that Your Highness the Crown Prince was going to the stage to get some fresh air, so I specially prepared a bowl of ginger soup…”

The Crown Princess brought a bowl of steaming ginger soup. It was obvious that there was water boiling in the small stove below, and the water was kept warm without anyone stopping.

“Um.”

Fang Xing picked up the silver spoon and took a sip: “Thank you for your hard work… Don’t worry, I will write a letter of apology right away. As long as the emperor sees that I sincerely admit my mistakes, he will not pursue the matter…”

The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s great that Your Highness is willing to let it go.”

“rest assured.”

Fang Xing sighed a little. In this ancient time, the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace and even other concubines would rise and fall with him.

If they were abandoned, their fate would definitely not be any better.

Therefore, even if they wanted to rebel, they would just follow them, but of course, it wouldn’t go to that extent.

“I will be careful and will not let you, Fu’er and Bao’er end up in such a bad situation…”

The Crown Princess was startled, and her eyes suddenly turned red…

…

The next day.

After the letter of apology was submitted, the emperor immediately summoned the prince.

Imperial study.

“Your son greets you, Father!”

Fang Xing saluted meticulously.

When you come to ancient times, you have to adapt to the local customs. If he wants to get a high score, he has to immerse himself in the play and adapt himself.

When I looked up by chance, I saw the emperor in his middle age, with a very heroic appearance and a ruddy complexion. I sighed in my heart: “I have at least twenty years to live, and I really can’t keep him…”

“Stand up.”

The emperor looked at Fang Xing and spoke calmly, making people feel the unpredictable power of heaven: “You made the mistake first, and now you come to beg for mercy?”

Fang Xing looked at his nose, and then at his heart. He thought to himself, “If someone says ‘Your Majesty, please call me the Crown Prince’ at this time, I wonder what will happen?”

The scene was so beautiful that he dared not look at it.

“Hmm? You seem calmer now…”

The emperor was a little surprised. After a moment’s silence, he said, “I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors for three months. Do you accept this?”

“As you wish!”

Fang Xing said: “I am about to study behind closed doors…”

Being a crown prince is difficult, extremely difficult. If you do well, the emperor will suspect that you are mature enough. If you do not do well, the emperor will suspect that you are incompetent.

Unless the emperor is a mediocre person, it would be better.

Otherwise, it is inevitable to be struck from time to time, and people would even call it “thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from heaven”.

“Oh? What books have you read recently? Have you made any progress?”

The emperor spread out a piece of white paper, as if he was about to write.

Fang Xing stepped forward, took the ancient ink and began to grind it slowly.

Seeing this scene, the purple-robed eunuch Eunuch Su, who was about to take action, was stunned.

When will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever try to please me like this?
‘This suffering can really change a person…’

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince is a noble, yet he has been forced to this point.”

Eunuch Su felt emotional in his heart, but he showed no sign of it on his face.

When the emperor saw this scene, he felt happy and felt that he had succeeded.

He picked up the imperial brush, dipped it in ink, and finished the writing in one stroke.

“I will give this calligraphy to you, the prince.”

Fang Xing thanked him, and Eunuch Su hurried forward to frame it.
He glanced at it from the corner of his eye and saw four big characters – “Restrain yourself and return to propriety”! His hands trembled, and he thought to himself: “Restrain yourself and return to propriety, restrain your selfish desires, and make your words and deeds conform to propriety… Is this a hint that the prince has violated the rules? It couldn’t be more obvious… If King Kang and King Tai heard the news, they would definitely be very happy. “

Eunuch Su couldn’t help but wanted to see the prince’s expression, but he saw that the prince looked normal: “Thank you, father, for the gift of the name.”

Taking advantage of the opportunity to salute, he moved closer to the emperor and secretly brushed his palm lightly.

——It stimulates the heart!

Fang Xing used hidden power, just like a breeze, which was unnoticed by anyone, no one could detect.

The key is that it lies dormant and only suddenly attacks after three days, destroying the heart meridian.

With this slap, he was already a dead man as emperor.

“Poisoning is fine, but we have to collect materials, which will leave clues… The more people involved, the more likely it is that something will go wrong!”

“But my inner strength is unique in this world. This matter of regicide has been kept secret by me from beginning to end, so I am not afraid of it being leaked at all.”

Fang Xing calmly took the scroll and said, “I’ll take my leave!”
