Chapter 33: The Game

Emperor Lan Chong sighed, didn't say anything more, and said:

"This grandson, as the secretary of the military department, failed to control the epidemic, causing the people of Hangchuan to die in fire and water, and I must not spare him this time."

Truth be told, you didn't protect my emperor and let my favorite son be infected with the plague.

Killing you 10,000 times won't be able to solve the hatred in my heart!

But he hadn't figured out what to do with this grandson, so he immediately asked, "Zhao Yao, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Yao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, according to the old slave's humble opinion, the forces of Hangchuan are complicated, and the prefect Cong Zhongzhi is just a puppet he has raised, and there is no great talent, and this is the time to employ people, and no one dares to go in the court, once he is taken down and no one replaces, Hangchuan will be a mess, which is not conducive to epidemic control......"

Zhao must know that His Majesty the Emperor is jealous of the Three Kingdoms Golden Bank, and it is impossible for him to really take off the head of the Empress Gongsun, which is to give him the steps.

It means that Your Majesty, you are the dignified Ninety-Five, and you can't kill him for the sake of the epidemic, not because you are afraid of the Three Kingdoms Golden Bank.

The self-esteem of being an emperor is not ordinarily strong.

Zhao Yao's answer won the heart of Emperor Lan Chong, and Emperor Lan Chong's face stretched slightly, and said:

"But I can't help but be held accountable, after all, it was his negligence that caused the five princes to be infected with the epidemic, if I let him go, how can I explain to my emperor?"

Zhao Yao still persuaded: "There is no one available here, please think twice about Your Majesty." ”

This dialogue between master and servant is half real and half acting.

It's true that no one can use it, and it is acting that you can't use a knife against your grandson.

Taken together, it means: If someone can use it, even if the emperor is in the way of the face of the Three Kingdoms Golden Bank, he can also punish the grandson and let out a bad breath of his beloved son's illness.

The problem is that no one can use it now, there is a plague in the south, and after taking away Gongsun, who in the entire court dares to go to Hangchuan to take his seat.

From Hangchuan ready-made promotion, the entire bureaucracy in Hangchuan is basically the people of the grandson, and it can be said that they are all puppets who are overwhelmed.

Including the right attendant of the military department, Gongsun Jian.

If the grandson can't manage the plague well, these mediocre talents will naturally not be able to.

So it's really hard to take the grandson in the short term.

If you want to punish an official, you have to look ahead and backward, be afraid of this and fear that.

Emperor Lan Chong, who was full of anger, squeezed the armrest of the dragon chair heavily, and his knuckles turned white.

I, the emperor, deserve to be really aggrieved......

……

"The emperor is still not bold enough, and he doesn't even dare to ...... after giving an order to kill his grandson."

Xu Tian shook his head and sighed, he was afraid of wolves and tigers, but this emperor can't do it.

"I am afraid of the Gongsun family of the Three Kingdoms Gold Bank, and I am worried that there will be no successor to take off the black yarn hat of the grandson......"

Xu Tian could basically guess what the emperor was thinking.

It stands to reason that the emperor's original plan was to give him power, let him deal with the plague, and then find an opportunity to kill him.

But this can only be done by manipulating him through the empress grandchild.

Empress Gongsun is equivalent to a knife in the emperor's hand, a knife used to get rid of him.

As long as there is this knife, even if Xu Tian has the credit for preventing and controlling the epidemic, it will be counted on the head of the grandson, and in turn, he can unload the grinding and kill the donkey and send him to see the king of Hades.

That's why he didn't dare to tell others that he had a vaccine to prevent and control the epidemic.

And now, once the grandson is removed, Xu Tian will be like a wild horse off the reins, and no one in the whole Hangchuan can restrain him, the squire of the military department.

The infection of the five princes is the most critical link.

The emperor learned the lesson of blood, and he could only put the rectification of the plague in the first place.

When the emperor hated the queen grandson, he stood up again and told the emperor that he had a way to cure the plague.

He became the only lifeline in front of the emperor.

The emperor would most likely be willing to give it a go.

Immediately, Xu Tian ordered someone to grind ink and prepare to write a new memo as planned, which was the content of his self-recommendation.

It's time to expose your hole cards and announce the vaccine, so that the emperor can believe that he is capable of curing this plague, and elevate him to the position of the secretary of the military department.

He is not in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Corrupt Soldiers, just because in this way, the Gongsun Empress will fall.

When the time comes, it will be reduced to a common person, and the head will fall to the ground.

Merely...... His vaccine can only prevent the disease, but there is nothing that can be done about those who are already sick.

Whether there is enough impact to make the emperor feel at ease to take out the grandson queen and help him ascend to the throne, in fact, Xu Tian is not 100% sure.

After all, what the emperor cares about most is the life and death of the five princes, and as for the epidemic among the common people, he doesn't necessarily care about it.

But he can also use the case of the five princes infected with the epidemic to warn the emperor that if the epidemic is left unchecked, the people of the royal family will also be threatened......

In this way, the emperor should have to allow him to take the throne and deal with the epidemic.

When he was about to put pen to paper, he suddenly found that the system's lottery button was red again.

Before I knew it, a whole month had passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Tian pressed the lottery button first.

【Obtain Taisheng Water*1】

【Cure all diseases】

"Wow, cure all diseases?"

Xu Tian was surprised, can you still open such a treasure in the system?

If you have this thing for a long time, then you don't have to toss any cowpox vaccine before, wow.

Immediately, he opened his inventory and pressed the icon of the Taisheng aqua blue jade bottle.

【Do you want to extract it?】 】

[Yes / No]

Of course I chose yes.

In a flash, a delicate blue jade bottle appeared out of thin air in his palm, exactly the same as the one on the icon.

He opened the cap and cautiously glanced inside, a crystal-blue liquid.

This thing should be of great use at critical moments.

Xu Tian's heart moved, and he put the blue jade bottle into the inventory again.

What a divine help!

This thing is more powerful than a vaccine!

With this, he has more confidence to compete for the position of Shangshu.

The vaccine can only protect against the smallpox virus, and for people who have already contracted smallpox, it is difficult for the gods to save them.

But now that he can even be cured of smallpox, the impact on the imperial court is not insignificant!

It's stable!

Xu Tian waved his pen, and he dared to be sure that the emperor had to compromise, and he would soon present it to the saint!

……

"Be bold! Be bold! You want to rebel, you want to rebel! ”

In the imperial study, the emperor's angry slapping sound was heard.

The old eunuch Zhao Yao hurriedly bowed forward and stroked his back: "Your Majesty is angry!" The dragon body is heavy! ”

"Look at it, look at what this guy wrote, he said that he could cure the plague, and even had studied a way to cure the sick, but he couldn't put it into practice due to the pressure of the military department's Shangshu, and the implication was that he would be willing to take action only after I got rid of Gongsun for him......"

Emperor Lan Chong was so angry that he clenched his teeth, he had always been calm and light-hearted, but he lost his temper twice in a short period of time because of some small actions of Xu Tian.

"He's trying to blackmail me!"

At the same time, Xu Tian, who was far away in Hangchuan, was looking at the northern sky, and under the wind-blown hair, there were thin lips that were slightly raised.

That's right, dear Your Majesty the Emperor, Lao Tzu is just trying to blackmail you.

I bet you'll be obedient.
