Xuan Shuang said: "The things in this palace are treacherous and ever-changing, how can they always be realized after the fact? Nowadays, all the high-ranking officials know and speculate in vain, and the low-ranking people make up nonsense when they hear a few words, and they hide it from me alone, and they all hope that I will fall quickly...... Oh, how can I sit idly by? I am not ostentatious by nature, but these days, I deliberately open my mouth and close my mouth in front of others, calling myself the future prince, just to pretend that I am still being blinded. In this way, the emperor will not be guarded, and it will be convenient for me to act. As for the other people, those who secretly mock, those who sympathize with and sigh, and those who sit and watch the clouds change, what do they think about me in their hearts, who has the leisure to care?" While Shangguan Yaohua had not yet eased up, he stood up directly, walked in front of him, and said, "You know, I have a strong sense of exclusivity, and I don't allow others to snatch anything from me, even if it is something I don't necessarily want. I have been planning this matter for a long time, and I think that Li Yijie and they want to remind me of this. ”

Shangguan Yaohua was difficult to decide, every time he wanted to ask questions, but he was afraid that he would really hear him say something rebellious, in order to protect him and himself, those relationships could be as far away as possible.

Xuan Shuang did not allow him to clear up, took another step, his eyes were focused, he looked straight into his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I want to usurp power and seize the throne before the edict of the new crown prince is issued! Please cooperate with me, and help me sit on the emperor's throne in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly, what do you want? Let you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and sleep peacefully! We can all get what we want. ”

Shangguan Yaohua was startled, he clinged to all sides, just to live in peace, and never thought of doing that kind of headless thing. I was so nervous that I looked around, lest any doors and windows were not closed, or that someone would eavesdrop on them in the cracks. His face stiffened: "You...... Sit...... Sit down ...... first," his arm trembled and helped him.

Xuan Shuang slapped his hand down, dodged and stopped between him and the seat, and said, "Don't run away! What are you afraid of? Don't tell me, you've never heard such a thing? Your former master, in Qingtianzhai, is afraid that he won't talk to you ten or eight times a day? Why are you afraid?"

Shangguan Yaohua forced him to retreat step by step, his vest pressed against the wall, Xuanshuang still did not relax, deliberately pressed his feet calmly, gradually pressed, and said in a low voice: "Because you don't believe in your master, you think that he has empty thoughts and has no strength to be the emperor, and then you only need to flatter him casually, and you can coax him around, I don't know the heavens and the earth." And in your eyes, only I am truly capable of rebellion. Although we have known each other for a short time, you are always afraid of me in your heart. In my rules, there is only a win, not a loss! Once an incident really breaks out, the scale must be not small. If you refuse to belong to me, you know that although I cherish talents, I also respect heroes with backbone, but when it comes down to it, it will always be empty words, and I will not let go of a capable person who insists on refusing to surrender to me. You also have hesitations in your heart, afraid that if things will not be done, not only will you not be able to keep your current position, but even seeing the sun on a new day will be a luxury! How can things in the world be perfect?"

Shangguan Yaohua's face was as pale as death, and he slid down the wall, shook his head and said, "Don't say it again...... I know you like to joke, and now you are ...... Isn't that right?"

Xuan Shuang put his hands on his shoulders and said, "What are you kidding? Yes, I'm just forcing you, I'm going to force you to make a choice!" dragged a chair, let him sit in, and in order to strengthen his momentum, he raised his hand and patted it on the table, and said: "Do you think you still have a way out? Prince Fu is now bent on killing you, continue to follow him, and a dead end." Or are you fending for yourself in the palace? Without his protection, you are nothing, and Prince Fu will not allow anyone to live with the evidence of his guilt. With his power, you can disappear without noticing, or if he wants to, you can also make you never exist! No matter what you choose, you are doomed to death. But follow me to fight for the position, at least there is a glimmer of hope! This is to point you out a way out, back then, the Seven Demon Heads were the Young Masters of the Demon Sect, and in the end, they didn't slash the former Sect Leader and succeed to the throne as the king? He can do it, and there is no reason why I can't do it!"

He knew that Prince Fu had no intention of extinguishing his mouth, and the more he said at this time, the more excited he became, as if he really believed it. took a deep breath, handed him a cup of tea with his own hands, and said warmly: "Cooperate with me, the situation in the palace is up and down, just like this tea, even if I don't do it, others will do the same." If you live under people, you will not have a good life. ”

Shangguan Yaohua's mind was repeated, knowing that it was inappropriate, but his thoughts were going to be taken in the direction he was pulling. Gradually, he agreed to this proposal, took the teacup and hesitated for a moment, put it back on the table, and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that all my actions now are still under the control of my father-in-law, and I have no autonomy at all." The slightest objection will give him awareness, and the power will suppress it, and it will never succeed for a day. Besides, his plan is to eradicate my 'alien', and the first thing he has to do is to weaken the forces in my hands. The subordinates around me are nothing more than incompetent people who are in charge of food and clothing. He has never even shown me the talisman that can be used to transfer troops, let alone hand over the power of the army to me? I intend to respond to you, but my hands are weak and weak, so what's the use?"

Xuan Shuang smiled lightly and said, "It's not difficult. He turned around slightly, sat down on the low stool beside him, and said, "The immediate task is to consolidate the forces in your hands. Let him rest assured and boldly hand over your military power, the more the merrier. Shangguan Yaohua was stunned and said, "How is that possible? He doesn't trust me at all...... Xuan Shuang said: "What if he voluntarily handed it over for the sake of long-term interests?"

Shangguan Yaohua only said that Xuanshuang was young and didn't understand the stakes, so he explained bitterly: "He monopolized military power for the sake of his own interests." I have no soldiers, no generals, and no combat power, so I have to always give him my life, so that I can survive in the troubled times and the court. He knows that in my capacity, if I am powerful and powerful, I will be restless. How can he help me instead? If you want me to use his men and horses to cause trouble in the government? That is simply luring wolves into the house and lifting stones to shoot myself in the foot. Listen to me, and it is foolish for no one to give reinforcements to the enemy the forces of his own side. ”

Xuan Shuang patted him on the shoulder and said, "He naturally refuses to marry others, but if others come to help him without pay, it will be too late for him to rejoice." Shangguan Yaohua sat up straight, with a look of respectful listening to the teachings, but his face was still worried, and he only felt that this discussion was whimsical.

Xuan Shuang said: "Today is undecided, there are rogues in various places from time to time, or some pretentious people who claim to be uprisings. Prince Fu is an official of the imperial court and a general on the battlefield, and if he does not bear this responsibility, who will he call to bear it? It is not good to think that the prince will come, and he will have to defend against the enemy outside, and he will have to painstakingly plan how to rebel inside. He is just a waste chess to get rid of you, and if he wants to kill you, you really have no ability to resist, and you can't bother to plan. You think, he is worried that you have two hearts, so that he will not be able to explain in front of the emperor. If it can't be found out for a while, the hidden danger will naturally be greater. Simply, you made it clear to him that you did intend to cause trouble, the emperor and Concubine Yun killed your whole family back then, this revenge cannot be avenged, you must kill them, and repay your relatives underground......"

Shangguan Yaohua smiled bitterly: "Hey, are you helping me or harming me?" I told the truth, it is the best evidence, and he didn't kill me directly?"

Xuan Shuang said: "At the beginning, I always have to pretend to be serious, what pulled out the sword of Shang Fang of the Son of Heaven, what is the great principle of protecting the country and defending the people, just endure it and it will pass." Because you also have a winning trump card, if you can really succeed, it is like invisibly, first removing the obstacle to usurpation for the prince. As long as you can really be used by him and become a new member of his subordinates, and the identity that you already have, as his righteous son, wants to make a secret visit in the palace, you will definitely be able to open a more powerful and convenient door. With such a good resource, he will never waste it in vain. In this way, not only will he not kill you, but he will also cultivate you well, hand over a large number of military power to you, and let you take charge of the internal affairs of the palace. With his help, coupled with your own efforts, you will soon become the first person in this palace to have hands and eyes in the sky. ”

Shangguan Yaohua said: "One mouth and two skins, as long as you move it slightly, anyone can sing praises." How can I convince him?"

Xuan Shuang said: "Because Prince Fu also needs to find a backer, in his eyes, my mother and I are the best candidates." But what I meant to show him was that although I wanted to cooperate, I was still alienated from each other, and it was difficult for me to truly trust each other. Now, if he can take advantage of you, and get in touch with me, will he not be able to ask for it? I will pour out bitter water on him, tell him half-truths and half-truths about his plans to seize the throne, and give him a ready-made excuse so that he can act in my name. Behind the scenes, it is naturally dark Chen Cang. When he has almost done everything, I will use this last springboard to directly take the throne. One thing to pay special attention to is that while he values you, he also knows too much because of the secrets, and he will definitely get rid of you when it is done. But don't worry, he won't dare to touch you before, and by the time he's ready to act, it's too late. He himself should be a fish on the case, and let me slaughter it. ”

Shangguan Yaohua has always been clever in his methods, but he has always thought it through. Although he had promised just now, if he wanted to make such a big decision at once, his heart always seemed to be blocked.

After a moment of silence, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared: "Yes, it is better to deal with him first, and on the other hand, you can continue to be courteous to your father-in-law under the pretense of this name." Anyway, it was said that it was the needs of the mission, and no one could doubt it. And I have a private friendship with Xuan Shuang, and I only say that I am on behalf of my father-in-law. In the future, depending on the wind and water, which side wins power, I will attach myself to him. It also gives a little more room for manoeuvre, and it's all up to them to fight dog-eat-dog, and whoever wins, I'll be the winner. This bet is a bet that will never be lost!"

immediately strengthened his mind and said: "If you don't give up, you can still look up to me when I come to the end of the road." In return for this kindness, I will also serve myself. But as much as the teaching power can, I will do my best to help each other. In fact, from his selfish point of view, he also looked forward to Xuanshuang's victory, after all, it was much easier to fiddle with a child than to deal with Prince Fu. The old fox is older, and he has more experience in officialdom, so he may not have a chance of winning if he fights him in the future. What's more, the friendship with Xuanshuang can't be counted as all false feelings.

Xuan Shuang smiled: "Very good! Then let's make a decision." I will still treat you as a brother, and I will not order you to be born or die. Even if it's a top priority, I'll talk to you first. Manpower is sometimes poor, I am a mortal, and I dare not say how smart I am, there will always be miscalculations and omissions, and then you have to remind me that you can't blindly take me as the standard. As long as you are able to convince me of what you say, I will be in charge of you. If a ruler can only tolerate a little calculation of his own in his head, and is not good at taking advice, he is not far from being ousted. Therefore, I always remind myself that faith must be had, but we must not be blind, nor should we listen to and believe in it. ”

Shangguan Yaohua said: "I know, do you want me to be a military advisor? I have experience in this job, I used to be in Qingtianzhai, because my skills were not as good as others, and I wanted to stabilize the position of the second master, so I relied on this ability to serve the public." ”
