Chapter 179: Preparation of the Parties
In the palace, the emperor invited Li Changqing and Li Hongsleeve at the same time, and the three of them discussed things very privately, and the identities of the three of them were also extremely special.
Li Changqing represents the attitude of the imperial family, the Li family is still Li Changqing as the patriarch, Li Changqing is now the oldest in the Li family, almost the oldest, and the strongest martial artist, very representative, and Li Hongsleeve represents the power of the Immortal Pavilion, as for the emperor, needless to say, it represents the will of the imperial court.
"Imperial grandfather, imperial sister, today we will discuss the matter of Jiang Cheng, no accident, at most seven days, the people of the Xianmen will arrive, what is the meaning of the imperial court, it still needs to be determined, whether to appease or exterminate"
"What I approve of is Zhaofu, Jiang Cheng is a martial arts genius that is rare in a thousand years, my Li family has been bullied by Xianmen for more than 60 years, and I have no power to fight back, Xianmen can change if you want to change the royal family, my Li family can't do without a little resistance"
Li Hongsleeve waited for the emperor to finish speaking, and expressed her opinion as soon as possible, she wanted to appease Jiang Cheng and protect Jiang Cheng.
"The imperial sister has thought about the attitude of Xianmen, if Xianmen must kill Jiang Cheng, we can't keep it, but we will offend Xianmen, for more than a month, although we have cracked down on the local clans, but you know, none of the real clans can be moved."
The emperor said that Yao Ce used his hands to fight political opponents, and he also knew, but he didn't move the real clan, and he couldn't move, he also watched people cook.
What are the real big families of Great Wei, those nobles who are related to the country, and those ministers whose families have entered the Xianmen, but he didn't move, and he didn't dare to move.
"Since the saint knows that some people can't move, then he has to keep Jiang Cheng, the emperor of the dignified Wei can't even move his courtiers, what kind of emperor is the Ninety-Five Supreme."
"Li Hongsleeve, there is no need to say some sentimental words"
The emperor's face was dark, this was ironic that he was unqualified as an emperor, and even the ministers couldn't deal with it.
"Am I wrong, in the past dynasties, which emperor didn't kill whoever he said, the previous dynasty Daxuan, the imperial family Chen didn't have a great grandmaster, but it didn't make the great grandmaster bow down"
"Li Hongsleeve, you..."
"Enough, what to argue about"
"Yes, Grandpa"
"Red sleeves, you are almost sure that Jiang Cheng has enough loyalty to you"
"Ten percent don't dare to say, but eighty percent still have, Jiang Cheng doesn't have much ambition, he doesn't form a party, he doesn't run a private business, he doesn't collect money, with his ability, he can make more money casually, but he has already satisfied a few stores, and he hasn't bought people's hearts, I talked to Jiang Cheng, all he thinks is the freedom to be born"
"The freedom to be human?"
Li Changqing was a little puzzled, something inexplicable.
"This has to be asked about the saint, three years ago, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Wu went to Yongzhou to escort the treasure, the treasure was stolen, the Jiang family was raided, and the whole family was beheaded, and then they met the disciple of the Immortal Pavilion who was stabbed, which can be regarded as a disaster, since then, they have been worried about being afraid, and they can only work hard."
"This is the rule of the imperial court, not the rule of me"
"Don't mention this, last year's war, Jiang Cheng was already the number one martial arts master in the world, but have you ever seen Jiang Cheng win people's hearts, he is not a loner, a person with this kind of character is not harmful to my Li family, and now he is married again, as long as he gives birth to a child, it is better to handle it"
Li Hongsleeve said, people with wives and children are the best to handle, the kind of people who don't recognize their six relatives are extremely rare, if Jiang Cheng is alone now, she is afraid that she will not be able to control Jiang Cheng, but now that Jiang Cheng has a father, a big brother, and a wife, he is not afraid.
"Jiang Cheng is very insidious, the first time I saw him, his internal strength was very weak, and I still don't know what he did at that time"
Li Changqing replied, he still didn't believe it, Jiang Cheng could go from an ordinary martial arts person to the first person in the world in just two or three years, Li Changqing was also extremely talented back then, and he couldn't do it in nearly seventy years.
"Grandpa Huang, it doesn't matter if Jiang Cheng is insidious or not, as long as we can control him, we need martial arts masters, our Li family is the royal family, the most noble family in the world, not a slave of Xianmen, in the past sixty years, more and more disciples have entered Xianmen, and there are already many other families who have entered the inner gate, and there is only one of our Li family, if this continues, within a hundred years, the Li family will be replaced, does Grandpa Huang want our Li family to repeat the mistakes of the Chen family?"
Li Hongsleeve sneered, back then, the Chen family still had many vassal kings in various places, and the Nanwang of Nanzhou was just one of them, but is it still there now, no more, most of them were killed by the Li family.
Since the dynasties, the royal family of the previous dynasty has been the same practice, and when the dynasty changes, the royal family will almost die, and the hypocrite will leave a little bit and act as a façade.
"Emperor, what do you think"
"No matter how good the royal sister said, the initiative in this matter is not ours in the Li family"
The emperor said with a gloomy face, Jiang Cheng is not his person, he is Li Hongsleeve's person, no matter how good he says, when the time comes, he will help Li Hongsleeve seize power, so he will not help Li Hongsleeve to leave Jiang Cheng.
"The emperor is the king of a country, you have the final say"
Li Changqing also nodded, if Jiang Cheng was the emperor's person, he would also help to save it, but he was not, Li Changqing didn't want Li Hongsleeve to want to seize power, so he cut off Li Hongsleeve's right-hand man first, so that she could honestly protect the Li family in the future.
"You guys..."
Li Hongsleeve was furious, she had already made it clear enough, but because of her own selfishness, she was unwilling to protect Jiang Cheng, which made her very angry.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, a staff member walked into Yao Ce's study and said, "Yao Xiang, this is a letter sent by the Marquis of Jingjiang, the Duke of Huguo, and the King of Guojun."
"Take a look"
"Yes"
The staff handed the letter to Yao Ce, and Yao Ce read them one by one, these nobles all have a common feature, that is, they have relatives who have entered the immortal gate, which is not to enter the immortal pavilion, but to enter the real immortal gate.
"I know, reply to them, Jiang Cheng can't live"
"Yes, Yao Xiang"
"Prepare the car, go and ask the fairy pavilion"
Yao Ce nodded again and said, these seven letters all said one thing, that is, Yao Ce was not allowed to protect Jiang Cheng on behalf of Yao Ce, even if the eldest princess asked for it.
Yao Ce has no reason to protect Jiang Cheng at all, especially when Li Hongsleeve's ambition is so big, as the prime minister, the head of a hundred officials, he is more comfortable under a mediocre emperor, and he is almost in charge of major affairs in the court, if he is replaced by a wise emperor, then the prime minister's life will not be easy, and this has been the case in all dynasties.
That's why he will go to protect Jiang Cheng if he has a hole in his brain, so that Li Hongsleeve can seize power by the way, what are you kidding, it would be good if he didn't hold Li Hongsleeve.
The carriage soon arrived at the Wenxian Pavilion, and Yao Ce met the dean of the Wenxian Pavilion.
"Yao Xiang has something to see me"
"Discuss with the dean about Jiang Cheng"
"What's wrong with him"
"The people of Xianmen are coming soon."
"Yes, count the steps, now the person who asks the Immortal Pavilion has already arrived at the sect of the Tianlan Sect, ten days and half a month's affairs."
"How are the people from the Immortal Gate going to deal with Jiang Cheng after they come, and kill them directly?"
"Why not"
The dean replied, does the Xianmen still need a reason to kill a martial artist, just kill it directly.
"Dean, the court does things and pays attention to a proper name, so that the people of the world can be convinced, and the people of the world are convinced, so that the court will be smooth sailing, and they will be willing to mine and collect treasures."
"What does Yao Xiang want to do"
"When the time comes, we will first be charged with learning the immortal law privately, and then the master of the immortal sect will come forward to arrest him, we will execute Jiang Cheng openly, so that everyone can be convinced, and it can deter the rest of the martial artists, and Jiang Cheng is not the only one who can kill immortals."
"Okay, that Xiao An has also been dealt with, see who else can cut down immortals, and they will all be dealt with."
The dean nodded, he thought that this was not bad, the martial artists of Great Wei were getting more and more powerful, and ordinary immortals were about to be unable to suppress it, and they were going to kill a batch, and killing a batch could be suppressed for decades.
······
Yongdu City, Sanssouci Building, Yang Shen and King Xin met here, Yang Shen opened his mouth and said, "The royal family and Yao Ce have already begun to act, and as soon as the people from Xianmen arrive, they will attack Jiang Cheng, you should make a move."
"I can't hold it down, as soon as I move, the emperor will officially take action, and the royal family won't listen to me now"
"If you endure it for too long, you will become really incompetent, King Xin, if I were you, I would take a gamble, unite with the eldest princess, and protect Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng is alive, and you can pull the emperor off the horse"
"To put it lightly, my people were dismantled by the emperor, and I am no longer an opponent"
"Is King Shin really unwilling to lend a hand?"
Yang Shen was a little angry, he was very optimistic about King Xin, but he was too incompetent all these years, even if he knew that he was forbearing, it was unbearable.
"If Jiang Cheng is willing to join my disciples, I will make a move, Jiang Cheng is Li Hongsleeve's person, what Li Hongsleeve wants to do, you don't know, right?"
King Xin thought about it and said, in his opinion, Li Hongsleeve was too bold to dare to have the intention of seizing power and ascending the throne, that is, his enemy, helping the enemy, he was not so stupid.
And King Xin didn't give Jiang Cheng a chance, smoke is a signal, if Jiang Cheng accepts cigarettes, it means that he is willing to join him, but Jiang Cheng doesn't, so don't blame him for standing by.
"King Xin also needs to know, Li Hongsleeve is your barrier, now the emperor's power is suppressing Li Hongsleeve, if Li Hongsleeve is finished, King Xin's great cause will have no chance, the thesis officer, Yao Ce has slowly controlled the court, on the nobles, all listen to the emperor, the royal family, but also to Li Changqing, you don't have super force, how can you succeed in seizing power, rely on your few dead soldiers, can you succeed, they can't even beat Li Changqing, let alone ask the Immortal Pavilion, only Jiang Cheng has the ability to overwhelm the crowd, and can overturn all the blocking forces, You are burying your future, and in a few years, King Xin should die violently."
Yang Shen said unceremoniously, King Xin still has some strength, but those forces are not enough to help him succeed, there is no chance at all, now only Jiang Cheng has this strength, when the emperor solves all his worries, King Xin does not need to exist, a violent death can solve all problems.
