Chapter 982 Coup
Emperor Xuanwu's face was ashen! Facing this eldest brother whom he had not seen for hundreds of years, he also fell into the memories of that scene.
Without his despicableness back then, he would not have been able to sit on the throne of the great emperor and rule the Xuanwu Empire for hundreds of years.
Of course, he himself did not think that his behavior back then was despicable and shameless. He only felt that he just used means to get what he wanted, and there was nothing wrong with it.
In his opinion, there is no difference between killing with a knife and killing with poison. The ultimate goal is the same. He does not think that killing with a knife is so noble and killing with poison is despicable. He has never thought that killing with a knife is so noble. Didn't think so.
He feels that truly smart people never use force to solve problems, and truly strong people are not strong with force, but with strong minds.
From ancient times to the present, those who use strategies and brains have always been strong and stand at the highest level. Those who are strong in martial arts have always served those who use their brains.
Therefore, in his view, a strong person always has a strong mind, not a strong force. Force is only a means, but the mind is everything.
Force can only kill people in one way, but the mind can kill in countless ways. Martial arts can kill for a while, but the mind can kill for a lifetime, or even forever.
A really smart person can lay out a plan, but after a few years, or even hundreds of years, he can kill the person he wants to kill. Can this person with force be able to do it? No!
Emperor Xuanwu believed that he was a smart person and a thoughtful person. Otherwise, among the hundreds of princes in his father's empire, he was not the best or the most outstanding in martial arts. His martial arts was mediocre. Not as good as many older brothers.
His appearance is also mediocre, not as good as many brothers, and his background and supporters are not as good as other brothers. But he succeeded. Why is this? Isn't it because he is good at thinking, good at using strategies, and good at using his mind? .
He remembered that incident very clearly. It was his father, the previous generation Emperor Xuanwu, at the grand banquet to abdicate! One thing he did.
At that banquet, not only was his father about to abdicate, but he also announced that he would give up the throne of Emperor Xuanwu to his eldest brother. It was also a meeting for the new emperor to succeed to the throne.
It was at such a conference that attracted the attention of the whole country that he took action! He used his intelligence and mind to win the throne and became Emperor Xuanwu.
He has also become the first prince to successfully seize the throne since the founding of the Xuanwu Empire and it has been passed down for thousands of years. He has set a precedent and ended a ceremony that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Although hundreds of years have passed since this incident, he still remembers it fresh. Every time he thinks about it, it feels like it happened yesterday! It was so clear that he would never forget how much attention he had that night.
He will never forget that night when he ruled the world, commanded everyone, and made everyone do what he wanted.
He was not outstanding in martial arts and not strong in cultivation, but that night, he made everyone obey his orders.
He remembered that matter very clearly. He had already prepared for it on the day when his father announced the Zen throne!
He began to ask people to find some medicine, a medicine that would make all cultivation disappear within a few days after taking it! After the medicine was prepared, he put all the medicine into the wine prepared for the party at the beginning of the party.
This drug is colorless and odorless, and it is not poison. Even powerful experts cannot detect it.
Besides, at the dinner party of the Zen Conference, who would have thought that someone would dare to tamper with the wine, so he successfully drugged the wine.
There is no doubt that after drinking, all the masters and princes who attended the banquet were poisoned, lost their cultivation, and lost any martial arts.
At that time, he stood up and sacrificed the lives of all his brothers to force his father to give him the throne and tell the world.
He remembered clearly that at the beginning, his father was unwilling. He scolded and cursed himself until he killed five brothers and then he gave in. He was afraid.
Finally, with gritted teeth, he finally wrote his name on the Zen position edict, and then stamped it with the Zhenguo Jade Seal under his murderous eyes.
In a warrior empire like theirs, the Zen edict is not like the edict of a secular dynasty. It is just a simple edict that can be changed at will.
The edict of their warrior empire, after being stamped with the jade seal of the country, will be automatically announced to the world and seen by everyone because of the blessing of certain magical rules.
And it will be engraved on the jade seal of the country! If you want to change it, it is impossible, unless the emperor dies and issues a new edict!
From the moment the jade seal was stamped on the edict, he, the eighth prince, became the new emperor of the Xuanwu Empire! In order to never regret it, he sent his father to the place where the elders lived in the back mountain, and announced to the world that the late emperor had retired.
Then he imprisoned the eldest brother, as well as the prince brothers who disobeyed him, and locked them up in the underground palace on the mountain behind the palace. This imprisonment lasted for three hundred years.
From that moment on, the entire Xuanwu Empire became the world under his control.
This thing sounds ridiculous, it feels like child's play, it feels impossible! But things are so bullshit sometimes, and he took control of the entire Xuanwu Empire without a single blow.
And there is the Jade Seal of the Xuanwu Empire! Who dares to say anything else about the edict that declares to the world!
Of course! At the beginning, there were still some irritants questioning this matter, but after he killed some people, as time went by, people forgot about the eldest prince as the prince, and slowly acquiesced in him as the emperor.
Thinking about these things now, he felt that it was so incredible. When he saw the big brother in front of him, he felt that everything was like a dream.
But no matter what, the winner is a prince and the loser is a thief! He is the winner, and this period of history will be written by him! In the history he wrote, he was a wise and mighty emperor.
Naturally, there would be no such thing as him poisoning, forcing his father to abdicate, killing his own brother to force his father, and then imprisoning his brother! Imprison the prince. None of this will appear in the history books of the Xuanwu Empire!
Moreover, he chose to hold this matter at a banquet. It is destined that not many people will know about this matter. For those who do not trust him, he will either imprison or kill them. Therefore, other people in the Sanctuary who know the truth about this matter will No, even if others know a little bit of the situation, they can't know everything!
so! As long as he, the victor, doesn't tell it, no one will know the truth. And now that countless years have passed, even if someone comes forward to tell the truth, no one cares, let alone believes it. So he released his eldest brother and these brothers and let them fight against the enemy, and he was not afraid.
