She slightly raised the corners of her lips, her expression unimpressed.
The old emperor's face was very solemn, "The Banyue Sect has grown and developed since its founding twenty years ago, and now it has become the largest sect in the world. Its power has deeply penetrated into our court. I have sent people to exterminate it several times, but all failed.
It hurts his skin, but the imperial court has lost many talented generals because of the Banyue Sect. Half-faced Demon is the leader of the Banyue Sect. He simply wants to control the imperial court and force the palace to usurp the throne. The imperial court is also very powerful. If he wants to overthrow me, he will
It’s not that easy!”
She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. The fragrance was overflowing and the taste was sweet.
After a pause, the old emperor continued, "He wants me to restore his title of Shang Wang. It's not as simple as playing around. He controls the Banyue Sect. No matter how powerful he is, he is just a devil in the eyes of the world.
If a person wins and kills him, even if he wins the world, everyone in the world will resist and refuse to accept it. Now, he has planned to make half of the evil devil in the eyes of the world dead. If I restore his title of Sword King, he can legitimately win over and control more people.
The power of the imperial court is equivalent to adding more power to a tiger. It is equivalent to gaining the recognition of the world. Even if he really overthrows the imperial court one day, he is qualified to inherit the throne. How can I let such an ambitious person succeed!"
She opened her lips indifferently, "Why does the emperor need to tell me this?"
"I think you are the best listener. I also believe that you know what can be said to the outside world and what should be spoken as a motto. Now, half-faced evil spirits are threatening me. Based on my understanding of the prince and the king of Qi, they definitely don't want me to restore King Shang.
Title. I want to hear your opinion."
"Which of your sons does your Majesty think is not ambitious?"
He was stunned for a moment, and there was deep sadness on his old face, and there was a kind of clarity in the sadness.
Her tone was calm and peaceful, "The emperor's sons are all princes. If they don't even have the ambition to sit on the throne, how can they have the ambition to govern the world? Some people are born with ambitions and are not willing to be controlled by others. Only by ascending to the throne
Only by holding the throne can you not bow your head to others and control other people's lives and deaths."
Surprise flashed in his yellowed eyes, a touch of admiration flashed through his eyes, and he sighed, "It's rare that you have such a thorough understanding at such a young age. I have always been entangled in the deep feelings between King Qi and the prince. Listen to you
A sudden enlightenment came out of nowhere. In this way, ambition is not a mistake."
"People who are born in the palace sometimes cannot help themselves. Those who do not harm others are harmed by others." She changed her words and said, "The emperor left me here and said so much, but he just wanted to ask me, what do you want me to do?
Don't accept the half-faced devil's offer in exchange."
"I don't deny it." He nodded slightly, "You are an outsider, and an outsider who has seen everything through. Restoring the title of Shang Wang will cause great trouble, and may even shake the foundation of the country. As for the half-faced evil devil, although I have only met him once,
But I know clearly that he is absolutely true to his word. Once three hours have passed, even if I agree to his conditions tomorrow, he will never provide me with medicinal blood again. And all qualified medicinal people in the world have been killed by him.
Kill. In other words, if I don't agree, there is only one way to die. If I agree, the consequences will be disastrous."
"The emperor said that I am an outsider, so I can't say much."
"I can't make up my mind, and I really want to hear your opinion." His tone was sincere.
