The worship courtyard of the Great Song royal family is located in the deepest part of the palace, which is a separate courtyard, far away from the harem, and is a separate courtyard.

The yard is not big but it is very luxurious, everything from furniture to teacups, every piece is a treasure in the world, and it is priceless!

Wang Zhong originally thought that there should not be many people in the worship courtyard, after all, it turned out that Shi Tai was the only one who was worshiped in the Great Song Dynasty, but after he came to the worship courtyard with Shi Tai, he found that there were many people in the courtyard, and there were thirty palace maids arranged by Zhao Ji alone, not to mention that the eunuchs in charge of cleaning were fifty.

Roughly calculated, Wang Zhong found that there were at least 100 people serving Shi Tai's diet and daily life, providing him with any services, as long as Shi Tai wanted to, Zhao Ji would meet all his requirements.

To put it mildly, Shi Tai's life in the palace is more emperor than the emperor, and he enjoys the emperor-like treatment every day, but he has no responsibility as an emperor.

Shi Tai seemed to be accustomed to the service of those people, and even a little arrogant and lascivious in front of outsiders, Wang Zhong faintly felt that something was not right.

Although Wang Zhong and Shi Tai got along for a short time, he did not rely on his eyes to see people, but on mental induction.

In Wang Zhong's induction, Zhao Ji seemed to be courteous to him, but Wang Zhong could sense a trace of ill will.

Shi Tai seems to be extravagant, but in fact, his heart is like stopping water, and he shouldn't care about external things.

Wang Zhong didn't hide himself, Shi Tai saw his thoughts at a glance, shook his head and smiled, and then motioned for his subordinates to leave, and then said openly and honestly to Wang Zhong:

"Daoist friends think it's strange, why would Poor Dao accept Zhao Ji's kindness?"

Wang Zhong knew that Shi Tai was referring to those who served.

"Senior Shi is probably trying to deceive Zhao Ji!" Wang Zhong guessed.

"Haha!" Shi Tai looked up to the sky and smiled, and said happily: "Xiaoyou is really a smart person!"

Shi Tai then explained: "The monarch is suspicious by nature, and Zhao Ji is no exception, if the poor road does not accept Zhao Ji's kindness, I am afraid that our emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will have trouble sleeping!"

Wang Zhong expressed his understanding: "The predecessors are for the development of the Daomen?"

With Shi Tai's cultivation as the realm, there is really no need to take too much care of the imperial power, even Zhao Ji is not qualified enough to let Shi Tai "compromise and seek perfection".

"Not only that!" Shi Tai said with a wry smile: "The development of my Dao Sect is indeed inseparable from the support of the imperial court, and most importantly, the cultivation of the poor Dao is also inseparable from the assistance of the emperor!"

Wang Zhong was puzzled: "What does this mean by seniors? With your current realm, how can you still need Zhao Ji's help?"

Shi Tai said: "Xiaoyou should have also encountered a cognitive obstacle!"

Wang Zhong nodded, without concealing it.

"Knowing the obstacle is an inevitable calamity on the path of cultivation, everyone is different, and the obstacle of knowledge and vision of the poor path is the desire for ascension!" Shi Tai said openly and honestly.

Since ancient times, there is no one who does not want to become an immortal, and if he does not become an immortal, what kind of Tao he cultivates, it is better to be a rich man!

As one of the five ancestors of the Southern Daomen Sect, Shi Tai naturally has the ambition to become an immortal, and it can even be said that his ambition is stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, because he is only one step away from becoming an immortal!

The Inner Dan Realm of Daomen corresponds to the "Heaven and Man Realm", and it is also the "Black-level Floating Slaughter" of the Yijin Sutra, and it is only one step away from the "White-level Floating Slaughter" of the highest realm.

Shi Tai has been cultivating for decades, and he has already achieved success, and he is only one step away from the "Nine Turns Golden Pill" of the Taoist Dacheng realm and soaring into an immortal! How can you let him give up!

Therefore, ascending to immortal has become Shi Tai's cognitive obstacle!

"In order to break through the obstacle of knowledge, Poor Dao had to rely on Zhao Ji and let him collect the world's Dao Collection, hoping to find the path to immortality in thousands of Dao books!" Shi Tai explained to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong finally understood why Zhao Ji asked Huang Sheng to compile the Taoist Book of the World and compile the "Wanshou Daozang", it turned out that everything was for Shi Tai.

There is only Zhao Ji, who is the emperor, who has the ability to collect the world's Taoist books with the power of the imperial court.

After all, the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm are not immortals, and everything can't go well!

Unless Shi Tai can give up everything and force Zhao Ji by force, but at that time, the Daomen will not want to develop and grow again.

"I underestimated Zhao Ji, but I didn't expect that this faint monarch's imperial mind was a bit of a doorway. Wang Zhong said sincerely.

"Zhao Ji has been able to sit firmly in the world for more than ten years, so naturally he has some doorways, just like this envoy to Daliao, doesn't this emperor see that you won't refuse?" Shi Tai chuckled.

Wang Zhong was silent, how could he not know that Zhao Ji was using him to deal with Liao, but it was also because of the relationship between knowledge and obstacles, Wang Zhong had to obey.

"Zhao Ji doesn't have much ability to govern, but this ability to control people's hearts is not bad!" Wang Zhong said indifferently.

Shi Tai shook his head and chuckled, seemingly agreeing with Wang Zhong's words.

In the final analysis, everyone has a weakness, and Zhao Ji grasped this weakness in order to control the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm, but in Wang Zhong's opinion, Zhao Ji is playing with fire, after all, the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm have their own pride.

Zhao Ji probably doesn't know the truth of "when the husband is angry, blood is splashed in five steps" and "within reach, everyone is the enemy country"!

really provoked Wang Zhong, it was a big deal to rush into the palace, kill Zhao Ji, and change the emperor to be the emperor!

Shi Tai also seemed to see Wang Zhong's thoughts, but he didn't say anything, just reminded Wang Zhong: "Xiaoyou is going to Daliao this time, you have to be careful of one person!"

"That Heavenly and Human Realm master of Da Liao?" Wang Zhong guessed.

Shi Tai nodded and said: "Yes, that old monster is called Xiao Dingguo, and he is the only master of the Heavenly and Human Realm in Daliao, I suspect that Zhao Ji will make your envoy to Daliao this time, just to deal with Xiao Dingguo!"

Wang Zhong was puzzled: "Why haven't I heard of this person's name?"

"Xiao Dingguo is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xiao back then, and he has lived to be more than one hundred and fifty years old now, because he is a master of the realm of heaven and man, so he has a long life, and has been living in seclusion in the Great Liao Palace, and his status is comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty!" Shi Tai said.

"Characters from the Empress Dowager Xiao's era!" Wang Zhong sighed.

Empress Dowager Xiao is called Xiao Xuan, is the queen of Liao Jingzong, after the death of Jingzong, Empress Dowager Xiao listened to the government, the Liao country developed and expanded, known as a generation of virtuous queens, is the most important figure in the history of Liao.

The "Tanyuan Alliance" is the masterpiece of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and since then, the Song Dynasty has to pay tribute to the Liao State every year, but because of this, the two countries have enjoyed peace for more than 100 years, during which there was only small friction and no major wars.

"It was with Xiao Dingguo's help that Empress Dowager Xiao was able to hold the power of the Liao State for more than 20 years, and it was also Xiao Dingguo who forced the Great Song Dynasty to sign the Tanyuan Alliance with the absolute strength of the Heaven and Man Realm!" Shi Tai explained:

"Zhao Ji has always regarded the Tanyuan Alliance as a great shame, so he hates Xiao Dingguo to the core, and has always wanted to find a chance to get rid of him!"

"Xiao Dingguo is also the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Liao State, as long as he is apart from him, the Great Song Dynasty will have a chance to fight back against the Liao State!"

Wang Zhong suddenly, after Shi Tai's explanation, suddenly understood a lot of things.

"My appearance has given the Great Song Dynasty one more master of the Heavenly and Human Realms, so Zhao Ji has the idea of eliminating Xiao Dingguo! I want to use you and me to deal with Xiao Dingguo!" Wang Zhong said.

"Xiaoyou is really thorough!" Shi Tai touched his beard and smiled.
