831 Power of Scheme
Too a lock mountain is closed!
For a while, this news was like a powerful mine, thrown directly into the whirlpool of the capital, which was already a mess, and immediately stirred up a complex chain reaction.
As soon as this news came out, it showed Taiyi's current position and attitude, and they chose to watch or ignore the dispute over the children of destiny.
In the eyes of outsiders, this was probably a compromise reached through exchanges between Xiao Zongcheng's support pump and Taiyi's other disciples.
For some, this news is a slap in the face.
Such as Li Changping, the crown prince of the dynasty!
It is said that for several days in a row, the crown prince has not appeared in a public place, and the situation between the DPRK and China has also changed from a-for-tat confrontation at the beginning to an undercurrent surging today.
For some, this is great news.
The capital, the Imperial Palace.
Since the beginning of this world, the Great Zhou court has stood between heaven and earth, and this place has become the most noble imperial residence in the world.
The Zhonghe Hall is the place where Emperor Li Hengshi rests temporarily in the middle of his office.
On the Nine Dragons Imperial Bed, Li Hengshi, who looked a little haggard, was reclining on it, gently stroking the blanket woven from the fur of the spirit mink on his body with one hand.
It is said that there are still remnants of the spirit mink's consciousness in this spirit carpet, which also makes this spirit carpet have a wonderful effect.
The silky feeling of softness came to his mind through his palms, making Li Hengshi can't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
The current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has reigned for more than 80 years, and for him who only has innate cultivation, his life span has already come to an advanced stage, and even the edict of succession has been set up early, and he is ready to abdicate and make way for Xian.
But at this time, he had to pick himself up again and compete with his opponents.
He is confident in this.
Force wasn't his forte, but in a fight within the rules, he asked himself if no one would be his opponent.
Among them, it also includes his son, and the Holy Sect Master Lu Wentian, the first genius of the ages!
When he was able to defeat all his opponents and ascend to the throne, it was not by force, but by his unique means of scheming.
They don't understand that in the Great Zhou, power represents power, no matter whether you are a Jindan Grandmaster or a Yuan Shen Zhenren, as long as you are in the territory of the Great Zhou, you must honestly follow the rules!
And this rule is his most powerful weapon.
The use of this weapon is also his strength.
"Guo of Taichang Temple accepted bribes, did not do things effectively, and did not contribute to the court and the people for decades, so it is not appropriate to be in the second position, and he can be dismissed!"
Although his face was not very good, Li Hengshi's voice was still full of majesty.
"Yes!"
The curtain is deep, fluttering back and forth in the breeze, and it is impossible to see who is answering below. But there is no doubt that the person has deep trust in Li Hengshi.
"His identity is no longer suitable for guarding the altar of the sacrifice, and Jun Qianhe, who is from the Netherworld Sect, replaces his position. ”
Li Hengshi continued to speak.
"I'm afraid that this will be vetoed by the ministers. ”
The voice of the person who replied below was a little pretentious.
The Great Zhou court has its own system, and there are also restrictions on imperial power, otherwise there will be an absurd emperor, wouldn't he do whatever he wants?
And this system has become a means for the crown prince and others to check and balance the emperor.
"Give it a try first, I see that the tone of the people in the Yushitai has been loosened, and the manpower of the Tiantai must all be replaced by ours. ”
"Yes!"
"Tang Shi wanted his son to return to Beijing and told him that I could agree, but he also needed to do something for me. ”
"Tang Shi is a disciple of the Holy Sect?"
The person below reminded the emperor that it was his responsibility, whether it was useful or not, whether he would get the permission of the other party or not, he would say it and remind the other party.
"He is a disciple of the Holy Sect, but at the same time he is also a subject of the Great Zhou, you pay too much attention to your identity. Some people are not suitable for labeling. ”
Li Hengshi rubbed the tip of his head, took out an incense burner from the side, sniffed it carefully, and the transparent breath entered his body, which made him feel shocked.
"The prince has been too much in the land of fireworks recently, pass on my will, let him introspect behind closed doors, and when he thinks about it, he will come out again!"
This was the emperor's means of teaching his son, and even the ministers were inconvenient to say too much, although it was not very useful, but it was indispensable.
"The county guard of Beiluo County recommended by the national teacher Lu Wentian is corrupt and perverts the law, and he has been detained in the heavenly prison for the sake of the party, as the recommender, he should bear the sin of unknown people, and make a will to make him sober!"
"Also, what is written in this year's prayer for heaven and earth! Patchwork and insincerity, let him take it back and rewrite it, and he can't leave his Holy Sect until I'm satisfied!"
A set of skillful combination punches was played, and Li Hengshi took a break for a moment before looking at the fold in front of him again.
"By the way, send the things I prepared to Yingxian Residence. Have you met the Child of Destiny, how do you feel about him as a person?"
"Although Zhang Gongzi is not very old, he is a profound cultivator, steady in his work, and not frivolous at all. ”
The person below replied.
"It's really enviable!"
Li Hengshi sighed faintly.
"I can't do it, no matter how hard I try, I can't get into the Tao. ”
"Your Majesty has the four seas in his heart and accepts all the people, which is not worse than the Yuan Shen Zhenren!"
"Huh...... , sycophants!"
"What the subordinates say is from the bottom of their hearts!"
"Alright, alright! You're not going to be done yet. ”
Li Hengshi smiled and waved his hand.
"I know what I am. The cultivation is too hard, I can't do it, in my life, I will only be able to check and balance, the way of trade-offs, that's enough!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The man below seemed to fall to his knees and replied loudly, his voice full of respect.
"Get up, the difficult things are going well, wait and call a team of servants to show the song and dance! Well, the queen has recruited a new group of servants around her, and it is said that it is good, ask her to borrow it. ”
Li Hengshi cheered up, and a ruddy color of excitement began to appear on his face.
"This ...... Yes!"
The vocal cords of the people below hesitated, which naturally couldn't escape Li Hengshi's ears.
"What, do you think it's bad for me to do this?"
"Don't dare, it's just that most of the seven-day period has passed, and the situation is urgent, and Weichen is afraid that His Majesty will be distracted by this, in case it ....... ”
"Seven-day deadline ......"
Li Hengshi muttered in a low voice.
"You think they'll have to wait seven days?
"But what if ......"
"There is no case, I know very well the character of Lu Wentian and the crown prince, they will not sit still, they will definitely act in advance, the more they do at that time, the more mistakes they will make, and within seven days, all the internal affairs of the court will be resolved!"
"When the time comes, when I have my hands free, the power is in my hands, even if it is Xiao Zongcheng, I will honestly continue to stay in his dojo. ”
"In Da Zhou, in the capital. Power is strength, even if it is a real person of Taiyi, you must obediently listen to me, a mortal. ”
"Yes!"
It seems that he was infected by Li Hengshi's confidence, and the people below were not insisting.
"Go, call someone!"
"I just want them to see, as long as I am still in my hands for one day, as long as the throne is still in my hands, no one in this world can disobey my ideas!"
In the end, Li Hengshi's voice gradually became lower, and his face became cold.
"Let's not talk about whether they're doing it right! I'm not dead yet, and I don't need anyone else to make decisions for me!"
"Yes!"
The people below kowtowed backwards and disappeared into the hall.
The Holy Sect's residence, suspended in the void in the mountain hall.
The crown prince Li Changping, who was supposed to be introspecting behind closed doors, was sitting opposite the Holy Sect Sect Master Lu Wen.
Between the two of them, there are teapots and teacups that rise green smoke, and there are several jade cases placed on the left and right, and there are several people sitting respectively, each of whom is famous in the rivers and lakes and the court, and stomps his feet and trembles in all directions.
"Yesterday, my father watched the song and dance performed by the female tribe of the Southern Wilderness, and it is said that he was very satisfied with them, and gave them gold and silver to show his appreciation. ”
The crown prince Li Changping and the emperor Li Hengshi are seven points similar in appearance, but their figure is more burly, and their spiritual temperament is not comparable to that of the emperor, but when he talks about the emperor, his eyes are shrunk, and he seems to be a little afraid.
"Your Majesty is really good Yaxing!"
Sect Master Lu Wentian smiled indifferently and raised his glass.
"This is the tea I took from the Yin Division, although it is not a great thing, but it is very rare in the yang world, Your Highness taste it. ”
"The national teacher seems to like the things of Yin Si?"
It seemed that he was infected by the other party's breath, and the boredom in Li Changping's heart also lightened a lot, and he smiled and raised the tea cup in front of him, took a sip gently, and a cool feeling went straight down his throat to his heart and spleen.
"Good tea!"
"The things that can grow in the yin are generally good, so I naturally pay attention to some of them. ”
Lu Wentian nodded slightly, and put down the teacup in his hand without changing his face.
"National Teacher, Taiyi has blocked the dojo, the direction of the wind has changed greatly in the past few days, the momentum of the main battle faction is getting higher and higher, and even the manpower of the altar has been replaced by the emperor, it seems that the overall situation has been decided!"
Li Changping had no chatter at this time, so he spoke directly, talked about the situation between the DPRK and China, and shook his head with regret.
"This time I completely tore my face with the demon clan, and the Great Zhou, known as the same as heaven and earth, I am afraid that it will also usher in the day of its destruction, think about it, I am really a little unwilling in my heart!"
"Your Majesty is old, and he pays too much attention to his power, and he can't see the people of the Great Zhou in his eyes!"
Lu Wentian also sighed faintly, as if he was sympathetic to the world.
"Even if the Heavenly Emperor comes to the world, what can he do? He alone can suppress the alliance between the demon clan and the underworld? At that time, I am afraid that the conflict will be completely aroused, and the only remaining sacred land of the human race in the Great Zhou will be destroyed in one fell swoop!"
"yes!"
Li Changping also nodded with a gloomy face.
"For the sake of just one person, put hundreds of millions of people in Dazhou in the midst of fire and water, is it what Ming Jun did?"
"Your Highness, Sect Master, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, although Your Majesty is clever and plays with power in the palm of your hand, you are really not a Ming monarch?"
When a Dao-robed monk below heard this, he interjected.
"Although Qiao's words are very disrespectful to Your Majesty, they are from the bottom of their hearts!"
"Qiao Dao Chang...... Hey!"
Li Changping frowned, shook his head again and sighed, his gloomy eyes looked in the direction of the Taiyi Dojo.
"I thought I was winning, but I didn't want Daoist Xiao to suddenly interrupt the news, it's really a big week!"
"Xiao Zongcheng will not allow the Son of Destiny to return to Heavenly Court. ”
Lu Wentian also frowned.
"However, apart from His Majesty today, who else has the strength to keep him in the Taiyi Dojo?"
"Sect Master is saying that someone stopped Daoist Xiao?"
Li Changping's spirit was shocked.
"Then, from the sect master's point of view, will Daoist Xiao be able to break through the barrier, and when will he be able to get out of trouble?"
"I don't know!"
Lu Wentian shook his head.
"But looking at His Majesty's methods, steady and steady, and leisurely and elegant to watch the song and dance, I am afraid that I am very confident in the person who trapped Xiao Daoist, and we are afraid that we will not be able to borrow his strength in a short time. ”
"In that case, we'll just have to sit back and wait!"
Li Changping's eyes shrank, although he said that he was waiting to die, he would never be reconciled.
You must know that because of this matter, he and Li Hengshi have already torn their faces, and when the matter of the Son of Destiny is over, he, the crown prince, will be the next target of Emperor Li Hengshi!
Li Hengshi has many sons, and there are many who covet the position of the prince!
"Not necessarily!"
Lu Wentian stared into the distance, as if he could break through the distance and look directly at the inner courtyard of the palace.
"Your Majesty pays too much attention to power, so he ignores personal force, but forgets that it is close at hand, and everyone is the enemy country!"
"Sect Master, what do you mean?"
Li Changping's hand shook, and a little tea in the teacup spilled out.
"Forcing the palace!"
"Forced palace?"
"No, never!"
Li Changping stood up and hurriedly shook his head.
"This is a heinous sin, no, never!"
"Your Highness, do you still have a choice?"
Lu Wentian opened his mouth indifferently, which also made Li Changping's body stiffen.
"If you lose this battle, you will lose everything, your identity, your status and even your life! In this case, why not fight with all your strength to make a clear future, the sun and the moon!"
"Yes...... But ......"
Li Changping's eyes trembled, revealing that his spirit was constantly struggling.
"Your Highness's move is not for individuals, but for the sake of the common people in the world, for the survival of the human race, and for the sake of not letting Your Majesty insist on going his own way and causing all the people to be in fire and water, this is a benevolent act!"
Lu Wentian's voice was solemn, his face was calm, and everyone under his hands was also upright, with a look of fearlessness.
"Still won't work!"
After a long time, Li Changping sat down again dejectedly, shook his head tiredly and spoke.
"How?"
"Father is holding the Great Seal, and he is in the core of the Mixed Yuan Forbidden Law, who can hurt him?"
"This sect has its own way. ”
Lu Wentian nodded slowly.
"Everyone has a side that everyone is good at, Your Majesty is good at the art of power checks and balances, and this sect is good at suppressing people with force and taking advantage of the trend. The so-called those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish!"
"In the Great Zhou, playing power tricks with His Majesty, we are not opponents. But I, the cultivators, have the faith and strength to overturn everything!"
"Now, let's start with the Children of Destiny!"
