Gonggong Xue returned to the imperial city ahead of schedule and informed the emperor of everything he had seen and heard, and the emperor was furious when he learned that the military department Shangshu and the Lotus Sect secretly wanted to rebel.

Behind the scenes of the military department is the third prince Heng Wang, and now the military department has been killed and killed, and the emperor has no direct evidence to take Heng Wang. King Heng is the third prince of the Shengtian Dynasty, with a high position and power, and he has a heavy army in his hands, once it is not handled well, it will cause King Heng to completely rebel, and then it will be out of control.

Therefore, there is only one way to deal with King Heng for the sake of today, and that is to investigate and deal with it secretly, and you can't turn your face on the surface.

Subsequently, the emperor told the world that the military department Shangshu and the Lotus Sect intended to rebel, and sent all the military department Shangshu families to prison, and the whole Lotus Sect was completely disbanded, and King Heng did not mention a word.

After Qin Shan returned to the imperial city, the emperor asked Xue Gonggong to secretly call Qin Shan to the palace for negotiations.

"See your father's father. Qin Shan bowed when he saw the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, Shan'er, you should know my intention to secretly let you enter the palace today, right?"

"It should be the Third Emperor Uncle's intention to rebel, right?" Qin Shan said after thinking about it.

"Yes, it is this matter, I think the person who knows this matter best should be you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know about this matter at all, although I have been jealous of King Heng's power for so many years and secretly suppressed it, but I didn't expect him to have the intention of rebellion, King Heng really made me feel cold. The emperor looked at Qin Shan with a serious face, his eyes full of sadness.

"Father, don't be impatient. ”

"How can I not be impatient! That bastard of King Heng secretly wants to steal the Shengtian Dynasty, I ...... Ahem, cough, cough...... "The emperor was so agitated that he kept coughing.

The coughing emperor covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and when he removed his mouth, there was a pool of blood on the handkerchief.

Gonggong Xue next to him hurriedly came over to convey true qi into the emperor's body and said, "Your Majesty, don't get emotional, your condition has deteriorated again, hurry up and take the pill." ”

The emperor took a pill and gradually recovered.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shan said with a serious face: "Father, the son has a life-sustaining pill in his hand, no matter how seriously injured he is, he can extend his life, please accept it to relieve the current predicament!"

Hearing Qin Shan's words, the faces of the emperor and Gonggong Xue were all shocked.

"What Shan'er is talking about the legendary Heaven-level Pill Continuation Pill?" the emperor asked in shock.

"Yes. ”

"It is rumored that it is extremely difficult to refine the Life Continuation Pill, and it is impossible for a non-grandmaster-level alchemist to succeed in refining it, and it is only possible, but I didn't expect Shan'er to have one in his hand, which really shocked me. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, your pill is too timely, Your Majesty's dragon body is in a very bad situation now, this life-sustaining pill is simply a solution to the urgent need!" Xue Gonggong said excitedly.

However, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Shan'er, I am very happy that you offer the pill, but now that my body has reached the end of the road, I have asked many medical masters and said that even if the life-sustaining pill can only last a few months, and it will be more painful than now, so Shan'er's life-sustaining pill is still kept." ”

Qin Shan sounded a little sad, and continued to persuade: "But ......"

"Okay, don't say any more, I have seen life and death through, and besides, my body can still be shed for some time, and the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the threat of King Heng. The emperor interrupted Qin Shan and said solemnly.

"Father, although there is no evidence now, the Third Emperor Uncle does have the intention of rebellion, and the Father Emperor can directly issue an edict for the Third Emperor Uncle to attack and meet him, and then arrest him!" Qin Shan proposed.

The emperor shook his head with a serious face and said: "Directly taking down King Heng will lose the hearts of the people, and may even cause the people who do not know the situation to rebel, and it will also accelerate the rebellion of King Heng's forces, and at that time, King Heng's forces will use the people to resist, and the situation will be out of control!"

"Then what should I do?" Qin Shan asked.

"There is only one way to do this, and that is to secretly collect evidence of King Heng's rebellion and announce it to the world, so that the people will stand on my side, and then destroy King Heng and his affiliated forces. The emperor said solemnly.

Hearing the emperor's words, Qin Shan frowned and said: "Father, although this way to win the hearts of the people and prevent the people from attacking our imperial family, the power of the three emperor uncles is also quite strong, if it is attacked, it will split the Shengtian Dynasty." ”

"Alas...... This is also something that can't be helped, King Heng is my third brother, I know him very well, I am quite cautious, it is extremely difficult to assassinate, if I can, I also want to directly and secretly deal with King Heng. The Emperor sighed.

Speaking of this, the emperor's face became extremely solemn, and he continued: "Shan'er, I said that there is actually only one purpose for this, that is, I want to hand over the investigation of King Heng to you, and you will collect the evidence of King Heng's rebellion!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Qin Shan looked surprised, he didn't expect the emperor to hand over this matter to him, this is a very big matter, the emperor handed it over to him can only show one problem, that is, the trust in him.

Seeing Qin Shan's surprised face, the emperor explained: "Shan'er, although I didn't think you were excellent at the beginning, but now I trust you the most, I see all your performances, Zhong'er and King Heng have a close relationship, this matter can only be completed by you, do you accept it?"

Bite!

"The host has obtained the main quest: to solve the rebellion against the Heng King. ”

"Mission requirements: Collect evidence of King Heng's rebellion and announce it to the world, and kill King Heng. ”

"Task reward: an experience red envelope, a physical red envelope, and a special red envelope. ”

"Quest Punishment: Lowers the host by 10 levels. ”

At this time, a system prompt sounded in Qin Shan's mind, and it was a system task.

It happened to be the task given to Qin Shan by the emperor.

Therefore, Qin Shan bowed his hand directly to the emperor and said: "Father, the sons accept it, this matter is related to the prosperity of our Shengtian Dynasty, and the sons and daughters are naturally obliged to complete it, and also, father, please rest assured, this matter will definitely be completed!"

Seeing that Qin Shan accepted without hesitation, the emperor said with relief: "Shan'er, you are worthy of being my emperor, good, very good!

"Since this is the case, Erchen will go to prepare first, and Erchen will retire!"

"Go ahead. ”

After Qin Shan left, the emperor's face gradually became solemn.

"Your Majesty, isn't this burden a little too heavy to hand over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" asked Gonggong Xue.

"No, it's not important at all, once he can complete this, he has the ability to take on the Shengtian Dynasty, I know that the time for my body to last is not long, and when he completes this matter, I can rest assured that the Shengtian Dynasty will be handed over to Shan'er. The emperor said earnestly.

Hearing the emperor's words, Gonggong Xue was dumbfounded, this was the first time that the emperor had made it clear that he would pass the throne to Qin Shan.
