Chapter 55 Wu Lizhi's thoughts

Imperial Historian's House.

When Wu Li heard the news in his ears, he couldn't believe that those old immortals of the elder group who were unprofitable and couldn't afford to die actually came forward for Ying Yuanming?

Wu Li admired Ying Yuanming in his heart, it was really a good means!

It's just that what kind of high price Ying Yuanming made these elders put down their bodies and go to the emperor.

Wu Li frowned slightly, Ying Yuanming is really not simple, such a small action instantly returned the situation in the imperial capital that had just become impetuous.

It can be said that this step of the imperial family elders has reversed the form of the imperial capital, and now the attitude of the king of Zhenbei is unclear again, and no one dares to bet, so they can only wait and see.

Wu Li knew that now only the high-level leaders of the imperial capital knew that the king of Zhenbei had broken with the emperor, and the elders of the imperial family, as long as those people gave enough benefits, they couldn't do anything, let alone go to the emperor?

But this is good for Wu Li, after all, there is no need to offend the king of Zhenbei tomorrow.

There is no way, a foreign king actually openly befriended a minister in public, which is not allowed in the Qin law, and it is also not allowed in the ancestral system!

So Wu Li was ready to offend Ying Yuanming tomorrow, but fortunately, Ying Yuanming left such a backhand, so he didn't need to offend Ying Yuanming again.

Otherwise, if you only made amends yesterday, and if you offend Ying Yuanming tomorrow, it will really give you a headache!

Wu Li knew deeply that the emperor in the palace was already angry, after all, it was Ying Yuanming who brought the power of the imperial family elders to force the emperor to submit, and the emperor had to submit, which was difficult for any king to accept!

However, this matter is not without benefits, at least the elder group is doing this, and the rumors of discord within the royal family disappear in an instant, which can be regarded as in the interests of the royal family, and it is no wonder that this group of elders will do this!

However, now that the situation has been disturbed, it is even more obvious in Wu Li's eyes, Ying Yuanming has already made a choice, from the moment he asked the elder group to come forward, the emperor and him will no longer have the possibility of easing!

Because no emperor would endure threats, let alone a foreign king with 100,000 private soldiers in his hands and an elder group in charge of the Ying clan in the imperial capital, these two together are enough to change the dynasty!

It is impossible for the emperor not to be afraid, and now Ying Yuanming is also united with Li Tai and married Gongsun Tinglei, all of which add up to no less than the emperor facing the pressure of the entire empire.

Unless...... Unless the emperor kills, use blood to announce the world, and suppress some already restless hearts, but the emperor will definitely not do this, because, soldiers, the country is also!

Non-national turmoil is not available, not to mention, which of the generals guarding the frontier has not made great achievements since the first emperor or even the second emperor, and it is more difficult to use them than to ascend to the sky!

The emperor will not make such a big mistake, with the blade of his elders, the public opinion in the world will be more difficult to control, when this immortal sect and demon sect are born one after another, the emperor will definitely not make extraneous branches at this time, after all, compared to the king of Zhenbei, these sects that have been secretly developed for thousands of years are even more terrifying!

Moreover, neutrals similar to him will not let the emperor do this, in their eyes, the stability of the empire is more important than anything, if this empire that has been inherited for thousands of years is destroyed in the hands of himself and others, then he and others can really only commit suicide and apologize to the world!

Therefore, at this moment, the emperor is the most uncomfortable one, when the country is worried about internal and external troubles, he can only let go of the anger in his heart and concentrate on those immortal sects and demons.

Wu Li looked at the palace and sighed lightly, he knew that this young emperor had great ambitions, although he didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, but Wu Li knew that the emperor would not let this situation continue.

Otherwise, for a long time, the emperor is not the emperor, the king is not the king, and the emperor's power will eventually be hollowed out, and at that time, the emperor will become a puppet, a symbol!

Would the young emperor tolerate this?

The answer is no, it can be seen from the assassination of the Qing Daozong Emperor last time that Wu Li is not a fool, and when this matter quickly calmed down, Wu Li understood.

All of this is just the emperor's handiwork, sacrificing an imperial envoy to make the birth of the Qing Dao Sect a joke in the world, so that the reputation of all the Immortal Sect Demon Sects has been seriously hit, and it has also calmed the restless hearts of the people in the world.

Although the assassination of the imperial envoy damaged the reputation of the emperor and the imperial family, killing more than 2,000 people from the nine clans of the Wu clan in Shuzhou was enough to wake up the people of the world.

In this way, not only the reputation of the imperial family was restored, but also the confidant of the Wu clan in Shuzhou was clear, and the prestige of the Great Qin royal family reached its peak.

It can be said that in this matter, the only one who benefited was the emperor, and the emperor only lost a small nobody, the black prison guard, so compared to this, the emperor won the empty space and made a lot of money.

Moreover, taking advantage of this incident, the emperor even broke up Li Tai's prestige in the court, and swept away Li Tai's majesty and face for many years.

This incident pushed Ying Kongli's status to the peak, and at that point, even Li Tai had to bow to Ying Kongli who pretended to be angry.

In fact, Li Tai had a chance to turn the tables, that is, at the moment of the accident, he began to investigate, and finally let the emperor win the empty and had to launch a heavyweight to top the cylinder.

But at that time, not to mention Li Tai who was in the game, even Wu Li didn't expect it, but after dispatching in the black prison, cutting through the chaos with a quick knife, and using the army to kill the Wu family, Wu Li understood.

But what is the use of understanding at that time? This matter has fallen into the dust in the landing of the Wu family's 2,000 heads, who dares to overturn the case, or rather, who can overturn the case?

Is it going to be a scandal in the world such as the wrong case?

Therefore, Wu Li and Li Tai can only acquiesce to this result.

However, Wu Li was still a little lucky, in fact, the head of the Wu family in Shuzhou had looked for him decades ago, saying that they were all surnamed Wu, and he wanted to recognize himself as his father-in-law, but he considered that the Wu family was a remnant of Zhao after all, so he refused.

Fortunately, I didn't agree to those "generous gifts" impulses back then, otherwise, my head might not be on my neck!

Wu Li knew that this emperor had a good grasp of people's hearts, you must know that if the black prison case was handled more slowly, as long as it was a day late, Li Tai would transfer the people from the Criminal Department to investigate, then the outcome of this matter would change dramatically!

However, the emperor's performance of winning empty leave was too good, and that angry demeanor was still deeply engraved in Wu Li's mind, so how dare Li Tai refute winning empty leave at that time.

When the results came out, it was too late to know the ins and outs, the matter had already been decided, and Li Tai had no way to investigate.

Wu Li shook the handle of the chair, closed his eyes, and kept thinking about a question in his mind, how did Ying Kongli manage to let the Qing Dao Sect carry the danger of losing his reputation, and cooperate with him?

Wu Li didn't believe that the Qing Dao Sect didn't know, if the reputation was damaged, then how difficult it would be to recruit disciples, who would go to a sect with infamy?

But the Qing Dao Sect still did this, it is obvious that the Qing Dao Sect had won the empty separation with the emperor before, and the emperor won the empty separation must have given the Qing Dao Sect enough benefits.

It's just that...... What are the benefits?

This question has actually been bothered by Wu Li's mind for a long time, what is the benefit of making the Qing Dao Sect let go of the hatred of thousands of years and cooperate with Win Kongli?

As one of the top ten immortal sects of the year, the Qing Dao Sect has a lot of background, what will they lack? What price will the emperor pay if he wins the void?

Wu Li shook his head, threw these questions out of his mind, and sighed deeply, such a major thing happened last time the Qing Dao Sect entered the world, so ...... What about the Heavenly Sword Sect this time?

Now the news of the Heavenly Sword Sect's entry into the WTO is only known to the emperor and the three dukes, but Wu Li knows that all the forces in the empire that have a little eyeliner in Shuzhou should know.

The last time the Qing Daozong entered the WTO, Li Tai's momentary laxity made the emperor win and take advantage of the loophole, so what about this time?

Wu Li knew very well that last time Li Tai was negligent and let the emperor win the opportunity to give him a blow, then, this time Li Tai would definitely not make such a mistake again.

Even, it may be possible to use the birth of the Heavenly Sword Sect to fight back against the emperor and win the void.

Therefore, now that the birth of the Heavenly Sword Sect has become a game between the emperor and Li Tai, they must have arranged some means in this matter.

Only, who will win?

In fact, looking at the current situation, I feel that Li Tai's winning rate is still very large, after all, as the governor of Shuzhou, it is Li Tai's eldest son Li Zhe, Li Zhe has been in the position of the governor of Shuzhou for more than 30 years, and he has a better grasp of the form of Shuzhou, and he will definitely not let the assassination of the imperial envoy happen again.

However, the city lord of Chuanlu City, which was the place where the Heavenly Sword Sect was born, was the loyal defender of the imperial lineage, Wei Qi.

Although the city lord was controlled by the state pastor, this was also the reason why Wu Li thought that Li Tai had a better chance of winning.

But Wu Li didn't dare to be too sure, after all, the city lord was not without power, and judging from the emperor's step-by-step countermeasures now, it seemed to be ...... The odds of this emperor are not small?

Wu Li was a little helpless, just like at the beginning, now the odds of the emperor and Li Tai are five or five.

But for Wu Li, he just needs to do his job, don't let these two parties catch the pigtails, otherwise, if these two parties join forces to mess themselves up, then he will really cry.

Wu Li sighed deeply, as an old man of the empire, he hoped that the empire would be stable more than anyone else, but in the face of power, these ideas were like phantoms in water, which could be seen, but could not be touched, and it was impossible to realize them!

The struggle for power makes everyone lose their minds, especially after tasting the sweetness of power, wanting to let go of power is tantamount to killing this person, and they can't give it up at all!

And Wu Li knows that in the empire, there is always a conflict between the imperial power and the prime minister's power, which cannot be resolved, so, in fact, it looks pretty good?
