Chapter 178 Detecting Bloodlines (1)
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was somewhat bewildered after hearing Qin Wu's words.
Is Qin Wu implying that the King of Wei and the King of Ming, who have always lived under his nose, are imposters?
How could this be? If it were true or false, how come they never noticed?
He didn't believe it.
"Don't disbelieve me, I went to Sea Breeze City this time to bring them back."
"These two men are from Japan, located in the Western Sea. More than ten years ago, they infiltrated the capital and somehow replaced the King of Wei and the King of Ming. They wanted to seize the throne of our Eastern Qin as members of the royal family and make our Eastern Qin a vassal state of Japan."
"This time, they even went to Haifeng City to discuss how to plunder the coastal areas of my Eastern Qin."
"Over the years, they have silently slaughtered tens of thousands of people in my Eastern Qin and disguised themselves as people in my Eastern Qin, living in the coastal areas of my Eastern Qin. The number of these people is as high as tens of thousands."
"This time, the Zhenxi Army sent troops to wipe out the Japanese. We seized tens of thousands of sets of armor and weapons."
Qin Wu said coldly.
He also gestured for Qi Ye to bring in the evidence he had brought back, so that the Emperor of Dongqin could see it for himself.
The Emperor of Eastern Qin got up, opened the box, and began to examine it.
After flipping through several booklets, he finally believed it, and had no choice but to believe it.
If he hadn't seen this evidence, he would never have imagined that he, a man of great wisdom, would be completely fooled by two imposters, even granting them fiefdoms and allowing them to give away countless riches of Dongqin to Japan over the past decade, greatly increasing Japan's ambitions and leading them to attempt to plunder Dongqin.
This is absolutely unforgivable.
"Insolent! How dare they deceive me!"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was furious.
He was furious that his son had been murdered without his knowledge, and that the murderer had been living a carefree life for over a decade.
He was also angry that the Japanese dared to scheme against him like that.
As the ruler of a dynasty, he was actually outmaneuvered in this way; no one could tolerate it.
Where is the person now?
The Emperor of Eastern Qin looked at Qin Wu.
"He is currently being interrogated in the dungeon of my mansion."
Qin Wu didn't care at all; no matter how angry the Eastern Qin Emperor was, he couldn't do anything to him.
Putting everything else aside, in terms of individual martial prowess alone, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was no match for him.
"Don't let them die too easily. They dare to kill my Eastern Qin royal family, my son. They won't die easily."
"By the way, I want to open the ancestral hall and verify the bloodline. Yongfu, go and summon all the princes and grandsons."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin said to Qin Wu.
After saying that, he instructed Yongfu, "Since someone dares to replace his son, what about his grandson and granddaughter?"
Will some people also be replaced?
His bloodline as a member of the Eastern Qin royal family cannot be confused.
"Don't worry, they won't die even if they want to, unless they spill everything they know. My Divine Martial Royal Palace is not only good at torturing people, but also has a group of highly skilled medical people."
"If they are alive, they can test the poisons properly for my queen and the others, so that their poison skills can be improved further."
Qin Wu said with a smile.
His smile sent a chill down the spine of the previously angry Emperor of Eastern Qin.
The thought of Qin Wu's women who were involved with poisons is enough to send chills down one's spine.
Those strange and unusual poisons, though not fatal, can make life worse than death.
The key issue is that those women only had the poison, not the antidote. Once poisoned, they could only endure it until the effects wore off.
His youngest son and his family are living devils.
Those people would rather die than fall into his hands.
Death spares you suffering, while living is worse than death.
But what he didn't know was that it wasn't that they didn't want to die; when they were captured, they had tried to commit suicide by poisoning themselves. Unfortunately, they didn't have the chance; they were captured too quickly, and Qin Wu's men simply pulled the poisoned fangs out of their mouths.
They were denied even the chance to commit suicide.
"Okay, as long as you interrogate them and find out everything they know, you can do whatever you want with the rest."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin said nothing more.
The father and son chatted for a while longer before getting up together and heading towards the ancestral hall.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the ancestral hall, where many people had already arrived and were waiting.
They were all somewhat puzzled. Today wasn't a big day, so why were they suddenly summoned to the ancestral hall?
Even the two grandmasters, the Emperor Emeritus and the War King, have come.
This left the princes and grandsons somewhat bewildered.
"Your Majesty, is there something important you need to discuss with us so suddenly?"
Upon seeing the arrival of the Emperor of Eastern Qin, the retired emperor immediately spoke up to inquire.
He was in seclusion when the Emperor of Eastern Qin sent someone to summon him to the ancestral temple, saying there was something important to discuss.
"Father, I have received news that the bloodline of our royal family has been confused. The reason I invited you and my uncle here today is to witness and re-examine the bloodline of all royal family members."
"..."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin relayed all the information he had obtained from Qin Wu to the Retired Emperor and the King of War.
Upon hearing that someone dared to attack a member of the royal family and even secretly impersonate a prince, the two were utterly astonished, realizing it was a direct slap in the face to the Eastern Qin royal family.
Since the founding of the Eastern Qin state, when had he ever suffered such a great humiliation?
"What a bunch of Japanese! They're courting death."
"Little Nine, do you know the current location of Japan? If not, find a way to locate it and destroy the country for me."
The retired emperor was furious.
"We've found the location, but we can't send troops now. Japan is located in the Western Sea, and our Eastern Qin has no navy or enough warships to cross the sea. Right now, Marquis Zhenxi is recruiting soldiers and training the navy. Once the navy is trained, we can send troops to Japan and destroy the country."
Qin Wu said calmly.
There was nothing he could do. He wanted to destroy Japan, but without a navy and warships capable of long-distance voyages, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to.
We can only wait until the time is right before launching a military campaign to annihilate Japan.
"Then gather manpower to start building warships capable of long-distance voyages, and have the Marquis of Zhenxi speed up the training of the navy."
The retired emperor now only wants to destroy Japan as soon as possible.
Even if it comes at a cost, we must build a powerful navy in a short period of time.
"Yes, I know, but a navy is not so easy to train. My Eastern Qin has never had a navy before. It will take time to train an elite force. As for warships, I have already sent people to build them, but we only have ten warships so far, and they have not yet been tested in the deep sea."
"It will take some time for testing and improvement."
Qin Wu nodded and explained his arrangements.
"By the way, after today's test, send all these princes and grandsons to the army for training! Born into royalty, they only know how to enjoy themselves in the capital and have become a bunch of good-for-nothings."
Qin Wu glanced at the group of richly dressed princes and grandsons and snorted coldly.
The Eastern Qin is now powerful enough and will need enough generals to fight in the north and south in the future. At present, the generals available to the Eastern Qin are all stationed in the four directions. As the territory of the Eastern Qin grows larger and larger, the number of generals needed will also increase.
The older generation of generals in Eastern Qin were all good, but the younger generation has not produced many capable generals, which will lead to a talent gap.
"Yes, it's time to let them gain some experience. How can the men of the Eastern Qin royal family be spoiled brats?"
The retired emperor also agreed with Qin Wu's opinion.
Only by ensuring that the descendants of the Eastern Qin royal family become increasingly outstanding can the Eastern Qin dynasty maintain its prosperity.
