Chapter 581: The true whereabouts of the Imperial Palace Formation
"Chu Zhongwu, you are very nice, but you want to kill the king?"
"The Ai family really underestimates you."
"Do you just think that the royal family only has these powers on the surface?"
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and did not explode directly.
For her, regicide was an impossible option.
Because the old monsters of the Xiao family are too strong.
One of their demon fetuses has seven martial peaks. Even if they have physical problems, relying on the power of their souls, they can still rival any master.
It is already remarkable that a person like Chu Qianqiu can kill the peak military prime minister. Since ancient times, the individual combat ability has been so strong that it is enough to make the country afraid.
But it is almost impossible to overthrow a super-first-class force, or even behead a super-first-class force.
Then choose to unite, win over more friends, and weaken the enemy.
"Mother, I know everything very well."
"I need your help to destroy the palace formation."
"At least it can't be started." Chu Qianqiu could see that the Queen Mother did not have much intention to defend the old monsters of the Xiao family.
The two of them are just cooperating, not close comrades-in-arms.
"What can the Aijia gain?"
"A court controlled by the Dou family, isn't that enough?" Chu Qianqiu asked in surprise.
"Then let your Shenwei Army, the Shenwu Army be proud?"
"Don't treat Aijia as a fool."
"The Ai family doesn't like them, but they have to admit that their existence is conducive to the royal family suppressing careerists from all walks of life."
The Queen Mother sneered in response. She was also a senior political figure.
No matter how much internal discord there is among these three parties, the royal family, the Shence Army, and the Wang family, the iron triangle they form is the powerful source of the imperial court's ability to maintain its rule so far.
The six gates are the minions of the royal family, supervising the world, and the eight royal merchants provide arms, money bags, etc. to the court.
The Shence Army was loyal to the Queen Mother, ensuring the safety of Fengzhou and monitoring the actions of the Shenwei Army.
The Wang family stabilized the civil service system, ensured the issuance of government orders and the governance of people's livelihood, and allowed the court to draw on the world's resources.
These three constitute the Iron Triangle of the Shenwu Kingdom.
Even if the Queen Mother has opinions about the royal family itself, she will generally maintain the rule of the royal family.
This was the case with Yi Daoren. She even cooperated with the royal family to help the dog emperors cover up and draw the attention of Wanshou Temple.
In the blood elixir, the Queen Mother was also a participant, and her hands were not clean.
Later, she betrayed Yi Daoren only because the plan could not be carried out and she wanted to clean herself up, so she made this decision.
Now Chu Qianqiu made a request to the Queen Mother to remove one link in the iron triangle. She did not see the benefits, but saw the huge risks.
Once the old monsters are eliminated, can the court still suppress the careerists of all walks of life?
Chu Qianqiu smiled slightly, because the Queen Mother did not say anything to death.
"Your Majesty, you should look at it this way."
"Indeed, the existence of the past emperors is a supreme sharp sword, a needle that can kill all ambitious people."
"But you forgot one thing."
"If it fuses with the millennium bug, it gains a body with eternal youth."
"How will the empress deal with herself then?"
"Could it be that the empress is willing to be their plaything?"
Everyone takes what they get as a matter of course.
Just like landlords in towns and villages, through lending and other methods, they plunder and expand their properties. As time goes by, they will feel that these properties and mansions should be theirs.
Similarly, the Queen Mother has already enjoyed this power. Can she accept the return of previous emperors and regain control of power?
The Queen Mother's mood fluctuated greatly.
She knows the nature of these people very well.
No matter it is Xuanzong, Xiaozong, Zhangzong, Renzong, Xianzong or Lizong.
They are all emperors in the end.
An emperor who acted recklessly, with almost no exceptions.
Chu Qianqiu continued:
"With Wanshou Temple and Maha Temple here, the court will not be unable to suppress careerists."
"If we can rectify the name of General Long, the Divine Power Army will not rebel as long as the empress is alive."
"Even I can personally take a martial arts oath to protect the interests that my empress deserves."
"In the future, when balance is restored in the court, Chu will leave Shangjing and return to Lingzhou."
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment.
Because the price offered by Chu Qianqiu was quite sincere.
With the strength he has shown, his martial arts oath is naturally weighty and represents the interests of the Shenwei Army.
It cannot be treated as empty talk.
"This does not make up for the loss of the Ai family."
"It's impossible for your strength to be able to deal with them."
The Queen Mother spoke, and she already had plans to make a deal.
She will cooperate with the Dog Emperors for the benefit of the Dou family and the Shence Army, and will naturally exclude the Xiao family for the sake of the family.
As she said, her relationship with Emperor Lizong had already ended long ago, and both parties only cooperated for mutual benefit.
"My dear, don't worry."
"I know in my mind whether I can deal with them."
"As long as you help me stop the palace formation, I will take care of the rest."
"I don't want to take any money from the Imperial Palace Formation or the Imperial Dragon Seal, nor do I have the ability to take it."
Chu Qianqiu is ready to copy from the cycle, so when promoting cooperation, he might as well be more generous.

Just like the mentor in his previous life, when a certain dynasty collapsed, the tsar cried out, "You have everything you want, except power."
The instructor smiled, we want nothing but power.
Similarly, the things in the Xiao family's treasury are not Chu Qianqiu's in the first place, so what if they are all given away?
As long as the eldest princess is supported by him, her share of power in the Shenwu Dynasty will be greatly increased, what kind of treasure will she need in the future?
In this coup, Chu Qianqiu only wanted one thing.
That is to support the power brought by the eldest princess and eliminate the threat of the Xiao family.
Other things can be figured out slowly.
"Of course, Master Meng wants to take back the Hetu."
"This is the fulcrum to re-establish balance."
"Xu Guogong also wants to get something from the treasure house."
"It all depends on your methods."
Chu Qianqiu added, and at the same time told the Queen Mother that as long as the old monsters of the Xiao family were eliminated, the balance in the court would be re-established, and the Shenwei Army did not care how much benefit it could reap.
"The foothold of the palace formation is not inside the palace."
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and found that supporting Chu Qianqiu was not as difficult as she thought.
"Where is that?" Chu Qianqiu asked quickly.
"Inside the imperial mausoleum."
"The Imperial Dragon Jade Seal connects both sides, and that is the core of the formation."
"In the imperial mausoleum, there are also the remains of Taizu."
"The Ai family can help you temporarily interrupt the formation, but you have to destroy the fairy fetuses in the imperial mausoleum and let them die together." The Queen Mother revealed the ultimate secret of the royal family.
"Wei Chen understands."
"As long as the empress is alive, I will never rebel against the imperial court."
Chu Qianqiu solemnly swore an oath.
It's just that this court cannot escape my control.
"Wait a minute." When the Queen Mother saw Chu Qianqiu was about to leave, she suddenly stopped him.
"What else do you have to say, Madam?"
"Xiao Yang's soul is still alive. If you really have the ability, remember to keep it." (Note: Emperor Lizong, Xiao Yang)
"The Ai family is still of great use."
"I sincerely comply with the Queen Mother's decree." Chu Qianqiu agreed.
