One hundred and sixty-eight changes in the palace
Under the guidance of the attendants, the Prime Minister slowly walked towards the main hall of the palace.
As he walked, he struggled to control his trembling muscles and pace, thinking about everything the black-faced man had arranged for him.
He found that what he thought was still too simple, what the other party wanted, not to say that he couldn't pay enough consideration at all, as for the so-called double price, it was even more of a joke.
The other party doesn't want him at all, nor is it the position under his buttocks, the other party obviously wants more and bigger.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had a little pitiful use for the other party's plan, I am afraid that the other party would not care about the existence of his life at all.
This is like the relationship between the thigh and the hair, if the other party is the thigh, then he is the little hair on the thigh, just an embellishment.
This extreme gap also shows how big the other side is planning.
This is not a matter of a prime minister or a Qiuzi country at all, and I am afraid that the other party will not even be interested in the throne of Qiuci country, but may be something bigger than I dare not think about at all.
When he thought about these possibilities, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in himself.
Watching the Prime Minister slowly walk towards the palace, on the top of a high corner tower not far away, several pairs of eyes were also watching his every move.
"Can he do it?" the voice came from a cloud of black mist.
"Everything was ready, and he couldn't help but be unable to do it. Qian Yunsheng, who was in another black mask, replied coldly.
"Don't worry so much, anyway, this is the task given to us above, and as for the rest, someone will naturally take over later. "It's the voice of a black shadow.
These days, a few of them have made quick moves, and they have finally been busy with some eyebrows, and now they are waiting for the final announcement of the results.
From what Qian Yunsheng has seen with his own eyes these days, it can be clearly felt that a big reason for this dispute is because of the old king's partiality.
He passed the throne to his younger son, who was younger and more pleasing to him, ignoring the fact that the younger son was incomparably weak and mediocre, and neglected the older son, who was more capable and courageous.
But Qian Yunsheng felt that this was not a mistake, judging from the fact that this eldest son dared to collude with the black hand organization, it was obvious that this eldest prince was even more bold and murderous.
If he comes to power, I am afraid that the country will only face a darker and more turbulent situation.
Maybe for the old king, there is a Leiyin Temple, and there is a wise and calm prime minister below, and it is not necessarily wrong to choose a mediocre and weak person.
It's just that whether it is the king or the old prime minister, everyone ignores the ambition of the eldest son and his courage to take risks.
Perhaps the old king's attempt to curb the ambition of his eldest son has led to more dangerous and darker enemies for the country.
However, these are not what Qian Yunsheng cares about now, the situation has been settled, and everything will be known today.
However, it was obvious that the affairs of mortals could hardly arouse their high interest for their immortal cultivators. The complication this time is just that it may have something to do with the Lei Yin Temple, and it is just necessary to prevent the Lei Yin Temple from making a move.
"I hope it's done sooner, I'm tired these days. The black shadow yawned and looked down boredly.
His voice rose and fell, like the direction in which he stood, and it was never clear where the exact location was.
Obviously, don't look at the person who is in charge of the black shadow, without the appearance of the people from the Leiyin Temple, he doesn't care so much about the things in the court.
"By the way, I've heard that one of the biggest trading spots in our black hands is in Qiuzi. After the matter is busy here, are the two fellow Daoists interested in going to see it together?"
With the familiarity of the past few days, everyone is also a little familiar. Anyway, it was boring to wait, and the black shadow talked about the things he cared about with great interest.
"And such a good thing?" said the voice of the fog ghost, "I've always heard that there is a secret trading point in Guizi, but I don't know how to get in. β
The black shadow smiled mysteriously and said, "Those two are just here, and I happen to have the right to bring people in." And you don't know, these days are exactly the time of the Guizi big set, and I heard that every time the big set, there are a lot of good things that come out. β
Qian Yunsheng was also a little moved, you must know that most of the Western Regions are Buddhist cultivators, and for them, if they want to find something different, they have to be this kind of secret trading point of the black hand.
For example, he began to have contact with the Black Hand organization in order to trade what he needed at the beginning. As for becoming a killer, that's a matter for later.
Ignoring the lengthy changes below, everyone began to discuss the market with great interest.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister has arrived!"
The shrill reports of the guards below attracted everyone's attention again.
Obviously, the Prime Minister had already reined in his mood, and he walked in steadily.
In the originally solemn lobby, because of his arrival, the already breathless atmosphere seemed even more depressing.
"Teacher, you're finally here!" the sagging skin on the Prime Minister's face trembled, and it was his student who greeted him at the top of the list, and the young King of Qiuzi today.
He looked around, and in addition to the most important ministers standing beside the king, on the other side sat the eldest prince and several other ministers standing, apparently faintly divided into two factions.
"You've come just in time. The young King of Kuzi said,
"We are discussing whether or not to send troops to Loulan, and it is obvious that such a question is best judged by you. β
Although the young king of Guizi spoke politely, his pleading expression made it clear to his teacher how aggressively our young king had been attacked.
"What's there to talk about? Loulan is brutal and unkind, and has long been reprimanded by the Leiyin Temple. "This is the voice of the Great Prince.
"We are now sending troops over, which is a good thing to relieve the people of Lebanon from fire and water. Brother, if you don't even have the courage to do so, you'd better give way as soon as possible. Seeing Muheta come in, the eldest prince not only did not restrain his arrogance, but spoke even more amazingly.
For a while, the originally oppressive atmosphere instantly became chaotic.
"What a gut, thief!" the people around the prince shouted angrily at the eldest prince.
"Bang Bang"
With the cold snort of the eldest prince, the two ministers beside him shot vigorously, killing the two ministers who reprimanded the most in an instant.
"Hiss"
Everyone gasped, but they didn't expect the eldest prince to be bold enough to kill people on the spot in the court, and they couldn't react for a while.
The eldest prince also stood up, staring at the young king with arrogant eyes
"Your Majesty, these two have just committed an insult to me, and they have been shot down by my order. I hope that Your Majesty will issue a decree that their entire family will be locked up and imprisoned, that men will be slaves, women will be prostitutes, and that all their property will be confiscated!"
"You" The young king was speechless for a moment, he stared at the two killers standing beside the eldest prince, who were obviously pretending to be ministers, and for a moment he didn't know whether to agree or refute coldly.
The Prime Minister stared at the two cold corpses, and the corners of his eyes twitched. He was even more certain that no one would rush in to rescue the young king, even if he shouted.
As for the few ministers who stood closely around the young king, it was also because they were all lists that had to be eradicated this time, so they could continue to stand here.
The eyes of both parties were focused on the Prime Minister, looking forward to his attitude, because everyone knew the strength of the Prime Minister.
His students were all over the court, and even several generals and governors, after the death of the old emperor, were more loyal to the imperial family than more recognized the prime minister.
When the old prime minister spoke, the young king's face quickly deteriorated. Probably he already understood that he was going to face his fate when even his most important support force no longer supported him.
Even when the people around him were still shouting in vain to refute it, he had calmly accepted his fate.
"Will I survive? He even discussed his future with his enemies with a strange look containing a complicated expression.
"Of course!" the eldest prince smirked, "I heard that the scenery of the East China Sea is good, and there are beautiful fishmen over there. β
"My dear brother, don't you like the fish-people the most, and I have arranged for you a nice island, where there are even fish-men who sing all night long. β
The coup d'Γ©tat was thus hastily completed in this bizarre, silent process.
So much so that when the eldest prince ascended the throne, the crown of the old king did not have time to take off.
But none of this matters, the crown and the scepter are just decorations for power, not power at all. Everyone understands that only power itself is more intoxicating.
"My esteemed Lord Muheta," said the Grand Prince, sitting on his throne, facing the Prime Minister who had a dejected face and did not dare to glance at his students.
"Please draft a document and count Loulan's sins. I need to quickly dispatch troops to Loulan within three days, please make sure to arrange this matter. β
"Then I ask you to write another letter in the most beautiful words, and send it to our dear uncle. β
"Please write earnestly in the letter, and make sure that my dear uncle understands the urgency of our substitution this time. When he said this, the eldest prince's face still matched his context, revealing a crocodile-like sad look.
"Besides, prepare me another three hundred boys and girls, and I will be of great use. Finally, the eldest prince said with a grim face.
"Three hundred boys and girls?" the old prime minister's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at the eldest prince in amazement.
"Why, is there any problem?" asked the eldest prince, staring at the old prime minister with the eyes of a poisonous snake.
"No, no" The Prime Minister lowered his head, other people's lives are obviously more important than their own lives.
The eldest prince stood up and said coldly but firmly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been assured that the era of our great prosperity is coming!"
"Let's go," the black shadow yawned. After watching such a boring trick, it was obvious that the battle of mortals did not arouse the interest of the immortal cultivators at all, and it was better to go to the bazaar of the ghost hand for a while to arouse his interest.
"What do you mean by this?" After leaving the palace, the fog ghost was speechless, and after a little distance from the black shadow, he quietly asked Qian Yunsheng.
"Probably more people died, more blood was shed, and more careerists were produced. Qian Yunsheng replied indifferently.
"That's not right!" he could be heard frowning in the fog ghost's voice, "They have the Leiyin Temple above them, and the Leiyin Temple won't allow them to mess around, unless"
"Unless something happens to the Lei Yin Temple," Qian Yunsheng added to him.
As soon as he finished saying this, both of them shook their heads, obviously the strength of Lei Yin Temple had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although Qian Yunsheng also felt that this seemed unlikely, the news he heard just now seemed like a mortal talking nonsense.
But he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a bad feeling tightly wrapped around him, making him a little confused.
