The four hundred and fortieth chapters determine the rebellion
"Only the scattered vegetation, are you afraid of His Majesty's old age? Humph! It's a bit impatient. Even if you have initially overcome the crisis, I'll see what you do next. The person who can break this shackles of fate has been with me for hundreds of millions of years.
Never seen it before.”
The goddess murmured to herself, without even opening her eyelids. She pointed at a piece of dust. The dream in that dust was shattered, and a soul in the endless reality returned to her body.
She savored the emotions and insights of returning to her soul, and there was no movement for a while.
On the other side, Wang Tao was locked in a room in the cold palace, watching the outside getting dark.
He knew that he should never place his hopes on a person's conscience, because this thing is the most unreliable, let alone place his hopes on a stupid person.
Your Majesty, the Queen, and the people in the court who have a good relationship with Wei Tianzhong can never be counted on. The only one who can use it is probably the Ninth Princess.
Wang Tao searched Wei Tianzhong's memory and divided the people he could trust into three levels.
The first type is absolutely trustworthy. Everyone has common interests and emotional appeals. It can be said that one is prosperous and the other is deprived.
Parents and concubines are the top of the first category, followed by servants and brothers who live through life and death.
Lao Guai, Lao Tian, and Lao Qian, these three people have been fighting with me since they were young. They have been through life and death. They are absolutely trustworthy. Even if they abandon their families and children, it is very possible.
The second type is limited trust and community of interests. As long as it is done well, it can even be stronger than the first type of relationship.
Among them are first of all relatives and friends, and of course the Ninth Princess Liang Zixuan is also among them.
The third category is the outsiders, who will support whoever is strong. As long as this type of person thinks that I am extremely powerful, there is a limit to how trustworthy I can be.
After Wang Tao analyzed his friends, he began to analyze his enemies. At this point, if he didn't even understand the enemy, it would be a failure.
Words can be free of charge, but actions cannot. Actions require sacrificing personal interests, so actions cannot deceive people.
He also divided clear or suspected enemies into three levels.
The first category is the life-and-death enemies. The Queen and the Xue family behind her see themselves as a thorn in the flesh, and are undoubtedly the biggest enemies at the moment.
The second category is that the existence of these people is a great threat. The emperor and the entire royal family, the Liang family, are undoubtedly in this category. The entire country is their private property. Generals like Wei Tianzhong are a destabilizing factor in peacetime.
The third type of enemy is the enemy's stakeholders and wallflowers. These are not real enemies, but they must not be ignored at critical moments.
Next is the relatively simple coder. To put it bluntly, if you want to win in this turmoil, whoever can code the most people will undoubtedly be the most advantageous.
Wang Tao sorted out the current situation and finally found that rebellion was the safest and most permanent solution.
rebel?
This is not easy. When Wang Tao was at Blue Star, he used to watch TV programs when he had nothing to do. He knew very well how difficult it was to rebel, and the slightest mistake could be the grave sin of destroying the Nine Clans.
To put it bluntly, rebellion means dividing the cake, and a group of vested interests will be the biggest obstacle.
Especially in the prosperous times, it is impossible for rebellion to succeed and there is no mass base at all.
Everyone's economy is pretty good, but whoever has enough to eat has to rebel. The masses have no motivation at all.
Fortunately, the current situation is chaotic, wars continued in the past few years, and there is still a social basis for rebellion.
If a country is in financial decline, it is easy for external troubles to occur and collapse from within. Therefore, a country's economic stability is extremely important.
Everyone in Blue Star understands these principles, but no one here probably understands them either.
This is neither the world of cultivating immortals nor the technological world of Blue Star. The mad woman detained his mind and plunged into this world. It was more like a simulated world.
Right? It's like playing a game? Wang Tao had a vague understanding.
Wang Tao shook his head and put aside distracting thoughts, then thought clearly about the current difficulties and opportunities, and then clarified every step, and began to think deeply about how to achieve it.
Of course, this is not the most dangerous thing. The most dangerous thing is when it gets dark.
Wang Tao thought deeply for a while and began to search in the cold palace, first looking for mouse holes, and then memorizing every furnishing in the room, saying that it was not useful.
As night fell, someone came over to deliver food and water.
When the food deliveryman went out, Wang Tao secretly poured out some rice and water and threw them at different mouse holes.
He hid some of the rice and water and asked the rest to be taken away. Sure enough, an hour later he found poisoned rats in front of two rat holes.
Hiss! So cruel!
Both the food and the water were poisoned at the same time?
The needle behind the wasp's tail is the most poisonous to women's hearts. I'm afraid the Queen personally sent someone to poison it!
After all, is this a corner of the Cold Palace, or does it belong to the Queen's sphere of influence?
Wang Tao thought about it and threw away all the hidden food and water, freed up the pot, and filled it with urine when he felt the need to urinate. He was already prepared for a long-term confrontation.
The night fell quietly, the door was closed, and there was no light or sound outside the house.
Everything looked quiet and beautiful, but Wang Tao knew that the night was cannibalistic.
Phew! Tonight is destined to be uneventful.
Wang Tao was thinking about it when a maid brought a rare bedding with a lantern.
"Ninth Princess asked me to ask you, are you lacking anything?"
While arranging the quilt, the little maid suddenly asked.
"Yes, I need a set of all-black clothes. It's best to wear a hat and a face mask."
Wang Tao's heart moved.
The maid didn't seem to hear anything, and then after clearing the quilt, the two maids were sent out under the escort of soldiers.
Wang Tao checked the quilt and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. He lay down on it but couldn't fall asleep. It was already midnight and the sound of changing of the guard came from outside the door.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open a little, and a package was thrown in through the crack of the door. The door was closed again, and there was no more sound.
Wang Tao picked up the package. In addition to a night clothes, there was also a decorative dagger, which looked like it was used by girls.
Ha! This ninth princess, Liang Zixuan, indeed grew up in the palace, and she has some connections anyway.
Wang Tao thought to himself, feeling a little grateful.
After a while, he changed his clothes, moved his body, and waited slowly.
If what he expected was true, there was no telling whether he would be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Now that Wang Tao has understood the reality, since his mind is imprisoned, it is better to treat this place as a practice, a practice outside of life.
I will always be Wang Tao, myself, and will never become anyone else.
Wang Tao started practicing Taoism at the age of ten, but his Taoist heart was never stable.
But this is understandable. After all, he is a country boy who has never experienced the colorful world. He only practices Taoism based on his own heart, and it is difficult to have a personal experience.
Combining theory with practice and working behind closed doors will not work. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
Now is undoubtedly a spiritual journey, and it is also a good time to practice.
