Chapter 660: If there is any conspiracy, hold it back for now
Wanshou Temple, Zen room
It took Chu Qianqiu nearly half an hour to completely kill the fire dragon.
"No wonder none of the martial arts masters from Zhishan Academy were willing to save the dead souls in the [Houde-carrying Sword] for the Li family."
"Resentment, grievance, and a powerful spirit of self-sacrifice."
"It's like it has a divinity and is difficult to eradicate."
"If I hadn't recently learned the "Ksitigarbha Soul Crossing Sutra", I'm afraid it would have taken a longer time to eradicate it slowly."
Chu Qianqiu spent a lot of effort and finally extinguished the soul fire of the shadow warrior, and then felt relieved.
"King Jing has great ambitions in preparing such a master for the Minister of War."
"Go and ask the old emperors first, and then make a plan."
Chu Family Courtyard, Treasure House
Chu Qianqiu did not ask Emperor Lizong. After all, he wanted to give it as a gift to the Queen Mother. As for Emperor Xiaozong and Emperor Renzong, it was too early and they may not know anything about King Jing.
So the person he chose was Emperor Xianzong.
"Chu Aiqing, you have no intention of letting me and the other late emperors go." Emperor Xianzong regained some of the magnanimity that an emperor should have, and after seeing Chu Qianqiu, he slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, how do you say this?" Chu Qianqiu asked in surprise.
"If you really wanted to let me go, you wouldn't have let me go on purpose these days. I'm afraid Aiqing has made a plan to find ways to avoid the oath, and then eliminate it in one fell swoop."
The old emperors of the Xiao family can only distinguish between bad and extremely bad, but there really are no fools.
"Your Majesty is worrying too much."
"I'm just busy with business." Chu Qianqiu quickly comforted him. As for whether he believes it or not, it depends on Emperor Xianzong himself.
"The matter has come to this, I have nothing more to say."
"Whatever you want to ask, Aiqing, just ask."
"I may not be able to answer that." Emperor Xianzong sighed, as if he had accepted his fate. This may be his tactical strategy.
"Wei Chen wants to ask about King Jing and the Minister of War, Jing Yulong."
"Do they have the ambition to rebel? How did your Majesty deal with it in the first place?" Chu Qianqiu asked directly without beating around the bush.
He did not see anything similar in Emperor Lizong's memory.
Emperor Xianzong smiled and shook his head.
"Everyone in this world who doesn't have ambitions has one."
"As long as there is strength, ambition will breed."
"The Duke of Xu has it, Master Meng has it, and King Jing will naturally have it too."
"It's like Chu Aiqing caught me off guard once she gained strength, and it was too late to regret it."
Chu Qianqiu was silent for a moment and then asked.
"Your Majesty, do you think so of General Long?"
"I actually gave him a chance, as long as he is willing to go to Maha Temple and give up his subordinates."
"I'm not willing to make such a move."
Emperor Xianzong's expression seemed a little guilty, but he would still do it a hundred times over.
"The instructors in the martial arts hall have always praised you and think that as long as you are still here, this will not happen."
"They think you have world ambitions."
Chu Qianqiu suddenly felt a historian's sense of destiny. If these materials were recorded, they would be very meaningful in the future.
"I was about to die at that time, and I was aging faster than expected."
"Even if it is transferred to the prince, his strength will be greatly reduced."
"And Long Aiqing's strength is too strong."
"Uncomfortably strong."
Emperor Xianzong seemed to sense what Chu Qianqiu was thinking, so he spoke it outright without hiding too much.
"But the general is not such a person."
Chu Qianqiu could not say that he understood General Long's character, but he still retorted from the perspective of the Shenwei Army.
"A tiger's heart is harmless to people, but a tiger's intention is to hurt others."
"If an ordinary citizen stays with a tiger, he will not think about being tolerant to the tiger, but will want to kill the tiger."
"Tolerance is something you can only have when you are aloof."
"In time, if a powerful person appears who threatens Chu Aiqing, will Chu Aiqing still be so tolerant?"
"Chu Aiqing also has children. Can she let her children get along with such a beast?"
Emperor Xianzong said very calmly that he had some regrets, but he did not regret it and would do it again a few times.
In order to allow Emperor Lizong to safely succeed to the throne, this price was worth it.
"If my plan had not been destroyed by my beloved, maybe we could have been a perfect and good emperor, but it was a pity that we failed."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
"Let's not talk about these old things. Let's talk about King Jing first. How much do you know about him?" Chu Qianqiu didn't want to refute Emperor Xianzong anymore.
"King Jing has always had hatred."
"Have any hatred?"
"Because of the Shadow King incident, the Xiao family royal family was in a state of panic and prepared to divide the world among themselves in exchange for the support of the major sects to join forces to encircle and suppress the Shadow King."
"His Majesty Taizong expressed his feelings to Grandfather Taizu and believed that enfeoffment was not feasible, and the Xiao family would no longer have a reputation in the world."
"At that time, Taizu felt lazy because all his descendants were dead."
"But King Jing supported His Majesty Taizong, and this made Taizu change his mind."
"At that time, His Majesty Taizong was having a hard time with his heirs. He once said to King Jing that the country depends on the eldest king, and the affairs of the world are between you and me, brothers."
Emperor Xianzong told a historical secret: Taizong and King Jing once had a brotherly agreement.
Under the shadow of the Shadow King, the future of the Xiao family's royal family was in doubt. Unexpectedly, His Majesty Taizong turned things around and killed the Shadow King.
Chu Qianqiu understood what happened next.
At that time, after the Taizu stabilized the situation, he put down his authority and looked for opportunities to break through the heavens and humans.
After Taizong succeeded to the throne, he forgot about his promise and sent King Jing to Zhongzhou to serve as a hostage to Mohe Temple.
King Jing was naturally very dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction has been passed down to this day.
"King Jing must be ambitious."
"But when Yang'er took over the throne, I was afraid that he would not be able to stabilize the situation, so I invited King Jing back and asked him to help Yang'er to prevent the situation from deteriorating."
So it turns out that this King Jing once oversaw the country and was indeed a capable man.
"and after?"
"Of course I drove him back."
"Mohe Temple doesn't like chaos in the world. He doesn't have much foundation in Zhongzhou."
"If Qinghe is worried about his Uncle Wang and changes the governor and governor of Yuzhou, he will definitely find out a lot of problems and just give him a beating."
Emperor Xianzong said very tactfully.
"Did the governor and governor collude with King Jing?"
"I don't know either, but King Jing has developed many forces in Yuzhou, so it's necessary to do some research."
"Just adjust them and send some key people over to investigate."
I see.
Only then did Chu Qianqiu understand Xianzong's imperial intentions.
Whether there are any problems in Yuzhou is not important.
The emperor will not tell you the evidence.
Give the Yuzhou officialdom a once over, give it a try, knock it out, and any problems will be clear.
For Chu Qianqiu, things have priorities. As long as they don't break out immediately, it's not too late to deal with them after the matter in Fengzhou is resolved.
If you have any conspiracy, please hold it back for now!
Let the lady use some means to delay their outbreak and buy time.
"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty." Chu Qianqiu took out a bottle of natural dew and poured it on Emperor Xianzong, which restored his spirit.
"Qinghe will understand these things after two more years of experience."
Emperor Xianzong smiled, with an inexplicable meaning on his face.
"As for whether or not to kill King Jing in the future, it's up to you."
"First cut off the branches, then decide on the head."
