Xun Jiu stood behind a big tree, looking at the neat black armor legion, she squinted her eyes, turned her head and asked Ji Liming in a low voice, "Why does the Tantai family have a private army?" Aren't the King of Qin and the Empress jealous? ”

Ji Liming leaned over to look at her by the shoulder.

The army, dressed in black armor and holding silver halberds, numbered about a hundred people, lined up in a neat phalanx, all of them looked solemn and ready to go, and their momentum was not much better than that of the Royal Praetorian Guard.

With just one glance, Ji Liming retracted his gaze and slowly explained: "The Lingshan Wu Clan's Shantai clan is a century-old family, I heard the old man say that when Emperor Xiantaizu was not yet on the throne, he once went to Lingshan to ask the ancestor of the Taizu clan to Bu a hexagram, and it was that hexagram that made Emperor Xiantaizu win great victories in the later battles, and finally established Dayan to ascend the throne. ”

"Emperor Taizu originally intended to let the Tangtai clan enter the court to take over the divine power, but was rejected by the ancestor of the Tangtai clan. Out of gratitude, Emperor Taizu immediately issued a special edict, allowing the Tai clan to cultivate a private army of 5,000 people to protect the race without threatening the Great Yan Jiangshan Sheji. He also promised that if the prosperity of the Shantai clan remained a hundred years later, the outstanding people in the clan could enter the court to assist the monarch. ”

After a pause, Ji Liming continued: "So when the first emperor died, the edict not only explained that he would depose the former crown prince and establish the empress, but also explained that the Lantai clan would enter the court to take charge of the divine power and auxiliary monarch. ”

Xun Jiu sighed, "In this way, the position of the high priest of the Taiyin was instructed by the first emperor or even the first emperor Taizu, so why does the king of Qin still oppose her?" ”

"You don't understand that, do you?" Ji Liming raised his eyebrows and deliberately betrayed Guanzi, "Have you heard the saying that 'the high priest is dedicated to one master'?" ”

Xun Jiu nodded, thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly realized, "I understand!" ”

Ji Liming hooked his lips and waited for the following.

Xun Jiu said: "To change an emperor is to change a high priest, and there are no hereditary rules for the priesthood of high priest, that is to say, if the empress dies, then the next monarch will change the high priest, and the new high priest will not necessarily be a member of the Shantai family." ”

"Clever!" Ji Liming looked at her with a look of approval.

Xun Jiu said again: "Obviously, the Shantai Yin is not willing to let the glory of the family's divine power in the court end in her, she wants to get more, maybe she wants to fight for hereditary opportunities, in short, her purpose is to let the Shantai family hold the divine power for generations." And in this way, it undoubtedly fulfills the statement of the king of Qin - the existence of the high priest only puts on a mysterious cloak for the imperial power, and in essence, he holds the authority and sways the monarch's thoughts. Such a trend is very dangerous, because once the divine power overpowers the imperial power, it is likely to gradually devour the imperial power, and at that time, the Fu clan will not be able to turn over at all, and can only become the puppet of the Tai clan forever. Of course, if it is worse, the descendants of the Fu clan will be expelled and exiled by the Tai clan or even exterminated. ”

The more he analyzed, the more frightened he became, Xun Jiu slowed down, and finally concluded, "King Qin has long seen through the ambition of Tangtaiyin, and he has also expected the general trend of combining divine power and royal power, so he will try his best to strangle Tangtaiyin's ambition in the cradle." This is also the reason why the two of them have been plotting against each other. ”

After not hearing a sound for a long time, Xun Jiu turned his head, and saw Ji Liming open his mouth wide and stunned in place, looking at her with extremely shocked eyes.

Xun Jiu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and asked, "Are you alive?" ”

Ji Liming moved his eyes and came back to his senses, but the shock on his face did not subside, and he laughed dryly, "I thought that my little cousin was a beautiful medical fairy, but I didn't expect that she was still a little fox who combines beauty and wisdom." ”

Xun Jiu: "......"

Because of Ji Zhi'er, Xun Jiu was particularly sensitive to the word "little fox", and when she heard Ji Liming describe it like this, she rolled her eyes, "Are you praising me or hurting me?" ”

Ji Liming grabbed his head, "Of course it's a boast......"

Before the words fell, he hurriedly pointed in the direction of the funeral procession outside the city gate, "They are now integrating the army, and all the coachmen will come down to be searched and checked, and the opportunity has come." ”

After speaking, Ji Liming pulled Xun Jiu's cat and quietly approached the funeral procession along the path.

The Blackarmoured Legion and the Royal Guards were regrouping, and all the drivers were inspected and stood on the sidelines.

Ji Liming took out the towel that had been prepared early in the morning and was contaminated with drugs, one with Xun Jiu, and attacked from behind while the coachmen and the army were not paying attention, first clicked on the acupoints of several coachmen around, and then one person was stunned and quickly pushed down the moat and came back to stand in place of the two coachmen.

Ji Liming has martial arts, and with him as a cover, a series of actions are smooth and fast as a blink of an eye.

After the army was integrated, Xun Jiu found the prisoner car where Liu Quan was held according to Ji Liming's instructions and sat on it, waving a horsewhip in his hand and about to go, but unexpectedly, Gong Yi, who had been riding a horse behind the coffin of Liangyi, suddenly came forward on horseback, just standing beside her, his eyes slanted slightly, and said: "Your Excellency once saved my life, but letting you go to Taihe Mountain to send you to death is not my style of repaying my kindness." ”

Gong Yi's voice was just right, just enough that only the two of them and the people in the prisoner car could hear it.

Xun Jiu knew that Gong Yi was planning to stop her and not let her go.

After thinking about it for a long time, she raised her head, smiled like a flower, and her eyes were sparkling, "We don't know each other, please let me go, thank you!" ”

I believe that for a long time, she is not only beautiful.
