Chapter 1281: Stormy Weather, the Present-Day Yu

After his father passed away, the most qualified person to inherit the throne, Prince Jiang Qi, was not in Zhongdu City, but thousands of miles away. Even if he came back from thousands of miles to mourn, he had already missed the best opportunity.

The country cannot be without a master for a day. Before the emperor died, he left a minister of state for Prince Jiang Qi in the court. He was in a high position and had great power. Now this important minister sent an envoy thousands of miles away to ask Prince Jiang Qi to come back and succeed to the throne as soon as possible.

However, the envoy was assassinated halfway. Several waves of envoys were sent in succession, with heavy troops to protect them, before the message was finally delivered successfully. What happened almost at the same time as the assassination of the messenger was that the arsenal in Zhongdu City caught fire.

Arsenal, as the name suggests, is a place to store weapons, that is, a place to arm the army. The arsenal in Zhongdu City can arm millions of people. It is the arsenal of the Central Army, one of the five armies of the Daji Dynasty.

This is not a simple place. If you want to commit treason and rebellion, blocking the arsenal is even more important than controlling the army and the emperor.

An unarmed team, with bare hands, is not worth worrying about at all. Anyone who has fought in a war knows how a team with heavy armor and heavy crossbows will slaughter a team without even decent weapons. Even if there is a ten-fold difference in the number of people, there is no need to worry.

The arsenal caught fire. After investigation, it was found that there were many fewer weapons. It was not simply burned by fire, but the arsenal had been emptied before the fire. What does it mean that such a large number of weapons were emptied? I think there is no need to say more. There are speculators in the central army.

As I said, the four princes have been in the palace for many years, and their influence is all over the court. The emperor's letting them go in the past has made them accumulate huge energy. Even if the emperor has consciously cleaned them up over the years, it is impossible to clean them up.

Even such an important place as the central army arsenal has problems. The trend revealed by this incident is worrying.

Next, the ministers who were left behind by the emperor were also assassinated overnight. Although the assassins were killed by the guards and the ministers were not seriously injured, the situation became more turbulent, and people were uneasy. The city of Zhongdu was in a state of panic.

The messengers sent to the outside were assassinated one after another, and the internal conspiracy and rebellion were imminent. For a time, the Daji Dynasty was turbulent, or in a precarious situation.

After getting the news through personal channels, Prince Jiang Qi made a public speech to all the imperial guards and disaster victims around him after making some choices.

In this speech, he first mourned the death of his father, listed the merits of the previous emperor, was extremely sad, cried loudly, and tears flowed like a spring. This should not be pretended. After all, he was the one who was most reluctant to see the emperor die. If the emperor did not die, he would have made such an unparalleled achievement and returned to Zhongdu City. The throne would definitely be his.

Then, Prince Jiang Qi changed the subject and said that the country was in great trouble, the people were displaced and living in dire straits. As a prince, he shouldered the mission of his father and was entrusted by the people. How could he dare to leave? He had to sacrifice his small family for the sake of the public, save the victims, survive the natural disaster, and...

In short, this speech made Prince Jiang Qi's reputation unprecedentedly high. The people all compared him with the ancient sage King Dayu who passed by his home three times without entering, saying that he was Dayu's reincarnation, and God bless Dayu and the people.

Prince Jiang Qi prepared for all matters step by step. He seemed to no longer care about the secrets of Zhongdu City behind him, but his indifference did not mean that others did not care. The speech caused such a huge storm, which also made his brothers regard him as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

The death of the Emperor Dayu definitely affected not only the people on the continent where the Dayu Dynasty was located, but also the entire upper world began a new round of choosing sides.

As early as the beginning of the election system, the major forces in the upper world had already begun to choose sides, but who could have expected what would happen next?

None of the four princes succeeded. Since the implementation of the election system, such things have been rare. With such huge investments from all parties, many people are unwilling to give up. Not many people in the extraordinary forces are optimistic about Prince Jiang Qi. From his disaster relief this time, it can be seen that this person is not easy to control and will easily backfire in the future. It is easier for his brothers.

Prince Jiang Qi has gained a lot of people's hearts during this period and has become the common enemy of the four princes. The differences between the four princes have been temporarily suppressed. They plotted together to make this younger brother never come back. The fierce murderous intention came much earlier than everyone expected.

Prince Jiang Qi has been traveling for a long time, sharing the hardships with the soldiers, working hard and tired, and caught a cold. He prescribed a prescription and took the medicine, but his condition did not improve, but became more and more severe. Later, he checked the medicine residue and found that the servant who boiled the medicine had put a chronic poison.

After finding out the servant who poisoned the army, he had already died. He was killed, but it was covered up as suicide. This means that there is still danger in the army. If it were someone else, he would be suspicious at this time, but Prince Jiang Qi is not an ordinary person. He has a mind that is not inferior to Wu Yi. He successfully eliminated the danger around him by deceiving the world, luring the snake out of the hole, and pretending to be crazy.

The death of the Great Emperor, the ups and downs of his luck are huge, affecting the entire upper world, and Wu Yi, who is dedicated to maintaining the reincarnation, was awakened.

When they saw that the Great Emperor Dynasty was affected by the cold wave, there were starving people everywhere, and the dead souls were densely packed and displaced. They left the original city god's rule. They were the dead souls with nowhere to go, that is, the so-called lonely ghosts, and they did not enter the reincarnation.

Lonely ghosts are most likely to become fierce ghosts and cause chaos.

Wu Yi almost laughed to death. This happened when he needed it most. But after carefully observing the situation of the Daji Dynasty, Wu Yi was even more overjoyed. The current chaos was a gift from heaven. He was just worried that he would not have the opportunity to get involved in the Daji Dynasty. It was like a pillow when he was sleepy.

Immediately, Wu Yi summoned the four fierce beasts back and told them the key points. He told them in an extremely serious tone that they should support Prince Jiang Qi.

The four fierce beasts nodded to show that they understood and asked Wu Yi how to act.

How to act, the four fierce beasts would know. This question was just to ask what extent should be done. After all, if they were involved too deeply and entangled by the human order, it would not be easy for the four of them.

Wu Yi gave them the right to act at their own convenience. The general direction had been told to them. If they dared to obey in public but disobey in private, they would be expelled!

And Wu Yi now had more important things to do, that is, to meet Prince Jiang Qi!
