This time he was in such a hurry, mainly because there were some new situations in Loulan, and the prime minister sent two urgent letters in succession, urging Ding Peng to come to Loulan as soon as possible to discuss important matters.

In order to keep it secret, Yu did not reveal much information at the time, but only vaguely explained that the situation this time was related to the king.

King Touman is sick, and he is seriously ill, and his days may be short.

The rest of the situation was not disclosed at the time, but two urgent letters were sent in a short period of time to urge, which can be imagined in his inner anxiety and the urgency of the matter.

came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and personally welcomed Ding Peng's apprentice into the mansion.

Although his expression pretended to be calm, from his words and deeds, Ding Peng keenly sensed the panic and fear in his heart.

At the first glance of Ding Peng, Yu Shi's eyes even showed the hope that a drowning person saw a life-saving straw, but in front of outsiders, he didn't say anything, just a few polite words, and welcomed everyone in.

When he came to the inner courtyard, he couldn't wait to retreat left and right, and then looked at Zhao Si and the others behind Ding Peng, his face showed hesitation, Ding Peng understood, and said lightly: "You are waiting outside the door, no one is allowed to approach." ”

Yu Shi took Ding Peng into the room, and as soon as he entered the door, Yu Shi was about to kneel, and said in a panic: "Immortal master help, immortal master save me." ”

Ding Peng naturally couldn't let him really kneel, raised his hand to help him lightly, and let Yu Shi bend down with just one hand, and Yu Shi mourned: "If the immortal master doesn't agree, the minister won't get up." ”

Ding Peng was impatient, waved his hand, and his body flew up lightly, just landing in the wide chair, his strength was amazing, he didn't open his mouth to plead again, and asked in a deep voice: "You and I don't need these false courtesies, what problems does the prime minister encounter?"

Yu Shi stood up from the chair, bowed down and said: "Hey, the immortal master, please sit down, the minister is in turmoil at this time, and he really doesn't know how to deal with himself, please forgive the immortal master." ”

Waiting for Ding Peng to sit down, Yu Shi personally poured a cup of tea for him, and then sat back in the chair, and said with a sad face: "The king is seriously ill, I am afraid that time is running out, and Loulan Kingdom is about to change greatly." ”

Under the narration of the time, Ding Peng soon learned about some important events that had happened recently in the Loulan royal court.

The king of Loulan, Touman, is in his prime, and he was sick when he suffered a little cold some time ago, and these days he is half asleep all day, and he can only wake up for a while when he is barely able to deal with some political affairs, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this old king may not be able to support it for long.

The alternation of the old and the new, this is something that every dynasty cannot avoid, if it is a normal situation, although he is flustered, he will not panic, let alone fear, just because of what King Touman has done recently, he feels strongly uneasy.

First, before he fell ill, Touman vetoed a major proposal submitted by Yu at the time, which was a policy to integrate several important jade resources in Loulan. Yu Shi's proposal was not a whim, but the shadow of the Star Sect behind it.

Since Hu Yanping's implementation of the jade mine merger means, the jade mines of the Xingzhu faction continue to expand, in the process of expansion will naturally encounter strong resistance from all parties, these people are not all soft persimmons, some people have great powers, deep connections, and various official backgrounds, Hu Yanping is very tricky to deal with, from time to time to borrow the power of the time, but often the results are not too satisfied.

In view of this, after investigating the specific situation of several major mining areas, Hu Yanping gave advice to the prime minister, and proposed a policy that appeared to be an increase in jade mine taxes for the Loulan royal court, but was actually conducive to the expansion of the jade mines of the Xingzhu faction.

But what is unexpected is that Touman, who has always been not too concerned about government affairs, actually vetoed Yu Shi's proposal, and before that, Touman has always trusted Shi very much, and he is almost obedient in political affairs.

After this incident, Yu Shi was frightened, and was vetoed by the king of a proposal, which seemed to be nothing to worry about on the surface, and Touman was also very gentle at the time, let alone reprimanded or the like, but the leaves fell and knew that the autumn was known, and the king almost did not interfere in government affairs in recent years, and he never pointed out the way of governance at the time, but this time, not only did he personally inquire about the ins and outs of the new policy, but finally vetoed this new decree that seemed to be beneficial to the country.

This could not help but allow Yu Shi to think about what was implied in it, and it faintly revealed two pieces of information: first, the king already knew something about the fact that the Xingzhu faction occupied a large number of jade mines, and second, the king expressed great dissatisfaction with his relationship with the Xingzhu faction.

After figuring out these things, Yu Shi immediately prepared to confess to the king and show his loyalty, he deeply understood that everything he was doing now came from which person did it come from? The Nakshatra faction can help him, and he needs their help in some things, but at most he is only an ally, and the king is different, without the support of the king, his power and status will immediately become empty, and even the Nakshatra faction will abandon this useless ally.

At that time, Yu Shi's heart could be said to have made up his mind, as long as he could obtain the understanding of the king, even if it was to sever ties with the Star Sect and draw a clear line, he would not hesitate to do so.

It's a pity that God didn't give him a chance, and soon, Touman fell ill.

Tou Man, who was seriously ill, could only be awake for a short time a day, and the time of this small meeting was used to meet the minister, and although he could see the king every day as an important minister, he could not meet alone, and there were other officials with him, so he could not find a suitable opportunity to confess to the king.

Touman didn't give him a chance either. Immediately afterwards, Touman announced an important will, which frightened the time completely.

Touman actually recalled the eldest prince, who had long been relegated to the empty door, asked him to return to the vulgar, and then returned to the palace to serve him in front of the sickbed.

Hearing this order, Yu Shi was simply out of fear, and his fear was at its peak.

King Touman of Loulan had many sons, some of whom had an ordinary relationship with Yu Shi, and some of whom had a close relationship with Yu Shi, such as the third prince. Yu Shi couldn't control the succession of the new king, he didn't have such a bold mind before, and it didn't matter who inherited, anyway, which prince took over as the head of the country, he also needed someone to help him manage the country, so he had no initiative in this matter.

But now the eldest prince has returned!

Yu Shi has a good memory, and naturally he will not forget who made the eldest prince angry with the king, and then was forced to become a monk.

Although Yu Shi can pat his chest and say that the conscience of heaven and earth, and his actions at the beginning, were the result of the king's secret instructions, and he was just a sword of the king and exercised the king's will, but the grumpy prince would not think so.

At that time, it is conceivable that if the eldest prince takes over the throne, there is probably no other way to go except to pray for a happy death.

In the face of such a dangerous situation, how can you not panic and fear?

It's no wonder that he knelt down to Ding Peng when he entered the door, and couldn't stop begging the immortal master for help.

Of course, as an old and cunning official, Yu Shi's narration only made it clear that he was powerful and did not pour out his feelings, but his anxious and panicked tone naturally exposed his heart.

After hearing this, Ding Peng pondered for a moment and asked, "What does the prime minister want this seat to do?"

Yu Shi seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and begged: "The immortal master once said that there is an elixir of immortality, although the king does not believe it, the minister is a little believed, the immortal master has all kinds of magical means, the minister has seen a lot, and I believe that the immortal master must have a way to help me get through the difficulty, as long as I pass this level, the minister ......."

"Wait!" The more Ding Peng listened, the more wrong he became, and he frowned: "What do you mean, do you want me to save the king with pills?"

Yu Shi nodded again and again: "Exactly, the king even made a faint move, it must be because of a serious illness, if the king recovers his health, he will naturally reuse the minister, the prince has committed a crime at the beginning, as long as the king recovers from his illness, he will naturally not be tolerated." ”

Ding Peng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Is the prime minister thinking too simple? This seat looks at you, the king, although he is old, but he is shrewd and powerful, not a foolish person, he naturally arranges it like this, I am afraid that he has a deeper intention, this seat speculates that the intention in this is not good for you and me." ”

Yu Shi didn't care so much now, he said urgently: "Does the immortal master have any immortal medicine?" Xiao Chen dares to guarantee that as long as he saves the king's life, no matter what the Xingzhu Sect does in Loulan in the future, it will be smooth and unimpeded. ”

Ding Peng frowned, not to mention that he couldn't have immortal medicine, even if he did, it would be impossible to hand over such a precious thing to Touman, he was afraid that it would not be enough for him to keep it himself, a little king of Loulan wanted to sacrifice such a divine object by himself?

Moreover, Ding Peng felt that Touman first vetoed the jade mine policy, and then recalled the eldest prince, and these two major events were not discussed with the important minister Yu Shi in advance, I am afraid that this old guy has already been on guard against Shi in his heart, perhaps because he was wary of Shi and the close interaction between Shi and the Xingzhu faction, and even suspected that An Guilie's death was related to himself and others.

Although he has only met Touman once, Ding Peng thinks that the old guy who is dying is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the best way to deal with this kind of person who likes to play politics and conspiracy is......

Ding Peng thought for a while and said, "Although there is no immortal medicine in this seat, it can also help the prime minister solve his troubles." ”

Yu Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Immortal Master, please speak!"

A cold smile appeared on Ding Peng's face, and he said slowly: "The eldest prince hates the prime minister, and the prime minister is only afraid that the eldest prince will take over the throne, if the eldest prince dies now, this problem will naturally no longer be a problem." ”

"Ah!" Yu Shi stood up in shock, the expression on his face was very exciting, he remembered that he was facing the political enemy An Guilie step by step, and the immortal master on the other side also said something similar lightly, but within a few days, An Guilie and the entire Dayue Clan delegation were all killed in Huangquan.

A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and Yu Shi felt a chill to his bones, no matter how bold and arrogant he was before, he had never thought of such a crazy idea, but after Ding Peng said this lightly, in addition to fear, a trace of thought suddenly rose in his heart: If he can really kill the eldest prince, won't he have to worry about it again in the future?

Once this idea germinated, it was unstoppable, quickly branching out, and blooming into an even more terrifying demonic flower: since he could kill the eldest prince, could he also use the secret power of the Star Sect to support the third prince who was close to him to take over the throne?
