The outer city, the courtyard in the east of the city.
Yagyu Tajima Shou, the leader of the Earth Sect, stood in a line, facing the two masters of the enshrinement hall in front of them, looking at each other.
I thought it was an atmosphere of equal power, and they would fight each other at any time, fighting to the death.
However, what they didn't expect was that Liu Tian and Huang Dao conjured a tea set out of nowhere, cleared the debris in front of them, sat on the floor, and started making tea as if no one was around.
"You two, after playing for a long time, are you thirsty?"
"If you're not in a hurry, why don't you sit down and have some tea first?"
Liu Tian waved to the two of them while drinking tea, pointing to the two cups of tea in front of him.
The corner of Yagyu Tajimamomo's mouth twitched, and his face was full of questions. He didn't understand what the two grandmasters of the enshrinement hall were doing.
Are you trying to poison them?
But isn’t this method too low-level?
The Taoist leader of the Earth Sect narrowed his eyes slightly, and while observing the actions of the two people, he contacted Zhu Youji who was in the enshrinement hall, exchanging information.
About three minutes later, the Earth Sect Taoist leader understood everything, and the look he looked at the two people changed from cautious and serious to weird and scrutinizing, as if he was looking at two funny people.
No wonder the third generation used the ten generals to cooperate with the Ninth Prince to rebel, and no grandmaster came forward to stop it. All the people who co-authored the enshrinement hall were all young men?
Just a little money a month, what are you doing with your life?
"Let's go back to the East Palace and wait for His Highness to come back." The leader of the Earth Sect no longer had any interest in communicating. He called out to Yagyu Tajima Mamoru, dived down, and together with Chu Mie, wrapped in blood, dived into the ground and disappeared.
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru glanced at the two of them, turned around and left without saying a word.
"Hey, what a pity for these two cups of good tea." Liu Tian smiled lightly, poured out the tea in the cup, and stood up.
"It seems that the palace master has finished talking."
"I really don't know where this Fourth Highness found so many masters?"
"Instead of fighting him desperately and causing internal friction, it is better to unite and deal with the future invasion of the four countries..."
Huang Dao raised his hand and destroyed the entire tea set on the ground together with the tea. He also stood up and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Grandmaster has come to an end in this world. He wants to go further. Our talents can only seek the upper realm."
"The opportunity that the palace master mentioned is probably His Highness the Fourth Highness."
"Opportunities are also dangerous. As the saying goes, it is difficult to find wealth in danger!" Liu Tian shook his head, still a little worried, and sighed.
"Okay, don't sigh, let's deal with the matter in front of you first! Since you choose to cooperate, this matter should be classified as a rebellion by the remnants of the Demon Cult." Huang Dao said calmly.
"Well, it is not a pity for the remnants of the Demon Cult to die." Liu Tian nodded and had no objection to this.
With a word from the two of them, the matter was determined. The remnants of the demon sect started a rebellion and were wiped out by the master of the enshrinement hall.
"Let's make some noise. It's been a long time since we've been here, and there should be some fluctuations in the killing."
"Yes, I also want to listen to the Jin Yiwei outside."
The next moment, the originally peaceful courtyard suddenly erupted into the sounds of fierce fighting, the ground exploded, and all kinds of gravel flew, making the scene extremely chaotic.
The guards in Jinyi not far away shivered when they heard this noise.
So intense!
This battle...
At the same time, Zhu Youji and Master Wuhen also entered the courtyard where Emperor Tianqi was.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Emperor Tianqi, who was practicing Taoism, opened his eyes and looked at the door.
The next moment, the door was pushed open.
Zhu Youji walked in alone.
The moment Emperor Tianqi saw Zhu Youji, countless images came to his mind. Regret and annoyance appeared in his eyes, and he murmured:
"I should have thought of it earlier. It was all your doing."
"Whether it's Dao Zun? Or the secret message on the table in the imperial study room?"
"You borrow my hand to get rid of those who don't support you, then let me pretend to be unconscious and use the secrets of the ten generals to threaten the Queen Mother and make you the crown prince."
"I originally thought that I could control you. I thought that Concubine Wan Gui was controlling everything from behind. I thought that your ambition was just to be the prince... I didn't expect, I didn't expect that your ultimate goal is to replace me and become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. !”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sound of thunder under the blue sky and white sun.
"Rumble..."
Thunder struck without warning, without the thunder of dark clouds.
This vision caused many people to look at the clear sky in astonishment.
"Father, haven't you already guessed this?"
"Aren't you also following the plan?"
"Use Cao Zhengchun to get rid of Shenhou, and use Yan Song's resignation to disrupt the power of the cabinet and the Yan Party. You know my purpose, but you also want to use this opportunity to regain the imperial power. In fact, you are not wrong. Every step, You have done everything, including taking refuge in the Consecration Hall to prevent the Grandmaster from messing around. The only problem is that you underestimated my bargaining chip and overestimated your power..."
Zhu Youji looked calm, looked at his nominal father, and said word for word: "Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, arrogance is."
"Your arrogance enables me to walk in front of you step by step."
"Let me go from being a prince without any power to now being able to look directly at you and your authority."
After listening to Zhu Youji's words, Emperor Tianqi turned pale, staring at Zhu Youji's handsome face, and suddenly sneered: "Haha, do you think you really win?"
"Father, I know that no one believes in people like you." Zhu Youji strolled to the table, sat down, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip as if no one else was around, and said with a smile: "Back then, since you arranged for my second son to go to Yumu State and became a serious problem for me, I knew that you must have a back-up plan."
"Although I don't know what you left behind?"
"But generally speaking, I can guess a little bit."
"You probably left an imperial edict behind. If you break through and die suddenly, the second son of Yumu State can lead troops to the capital to mourn and investigate the truth. Even that imperial edict has the power to command the other generals' troops."
"Huh?" Emperor Tianqi's face changed slightly and he fell silent.
"I think the second child in Yumu Prefecture has probably been waiting for his mother and concubine to take action so that he can be charged with regicide and lead his troops back to Beijing. With the good reputation he has built over the years, people will probably believable."
"However, I regret to tell you that my royal brother has long been unable to hold himself back."
Zhu Youji looked at Emperor Tianqi and said slowly: "Right now, he is communicating with the four countries of Tatar, Annan, Tubo, and Japan, preparing to cooperate with the people of the Demon Cult to cause an unprecedented catastrophe and massacre the Central Plains. He will use If the identity of the savior is destroyed and established again, and the Ming Dynasty is reoccupied, your imperial edict will be meaningless."
"What?"
Emperor Tianqi's face turned pale, he stood up and waved his hand: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, he doesn't dare, he doesn't dare to do this!"
"Introducing the Tatars into the customs and colluding with the four major countries and the demon sect to cause chaos, how can he bring order to the chaos with just the troops of Yumu Prefecture?"
"How can he afford it when all lives are devastated and the country is destroyed?"
"How can he face the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty royal family?"
Zhu Youji said calmly: "After I die, who will care about the flood?"
"Do you think a prince who uses Tatars to gain merit and reputation for himself will care about this?"
"To him, the common people are just a tool for him to gain more chips!"
"Politics is dirty and ugly. History will only record the winners, and only the losers will be stained with infamy."
"As long as he succeeds in bringing things right in the end, all the crimes will not be his, but mine and yours. Father, don't you understand?"
"When you were in power, you were the biggest reason for the invasion of the four countries. And if he finally put down the rebellion, even if he succeeded in dividing the country through peace talks."
"He is also the hero who saved the Ming Dynasty and the new emperor. But you will always be nailed to the pillar of shame and suffer eternal infamy. Father, you should know best, right?"
"After I die, who will care about the flood?" Emperor Tianqi's face was as pale as paper. He staggered and almost fell down, but he seemed to be possessed by a demon and kept chewing these words in his mouth.
The room fell into dead silence again.
Zhu Youji just looked at him without saying a word.
After a long time, after a long time.
Emperor Tianqi finally spoke.
His voice was hoarse, he raised his head suddenly, stared at Zhu Youji like an evil ghost, and said slowly: "What do you want to do?"
