After a long time, Qiao Jinhuan raised his hand and patted Xinglu, "Okay."
The character flaws are not his fault, they are just forced by the environment.
As she thought before, how many people in this underground palace are normal?
"An, must be killed."
Before Qiao Jinhuan left, Xinglu said in a low voice, "Leave him to me. I won't let him ruin your final plan."
"Can."
Qiao Jinhuan nodded lightly.
If nothing else, An An is not like Shadow, who has been following the emperor and comes into contact with so many people, and his mind is quite flexible; unlike Xing Lu, who has been exposed to too many dark sides and is difficult to control; he simply only cares about killing, so among these people,
His loyalty to the emperor is the highest.
Higher than the original owner.
So this person will definitely not join their plan.
Like the original owner, he would kill his sweetheart without hesitation because of the emperor's orders. As for An, he would do anything because of the emperor, and he would definitely avenge the emperor.
The key is that he is proficient in all kinds of killing techniques. Once released, he will be a huge threat.
Therefore, it cannot be kept.
Originally, Qiao Jinhuan had planned to get rid of him recently, but since Xinglu proposed it himself, it didn't matter if he left the matter to him.
On the other side, two Taoist priests went to the emperor with pills in their hands and frantically encouraged him to sacrifice to heaven.
The emperor did not just let things go, but asked very wisely, "Why do you want to worship heaven at this time?"
"Your Majesty, according to Pindao's calculations, at noon seven days from now, it will be the day when the Heavenly Gate opens once in a thousand years, and there will be visions of heaven and earth. If you offer sacrifices to heaven at this moment, your name, Your Majesty, will be recorded by the gods in heaven."
The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, "Being named by the gods, isn't that..."
"That's right, in this way, you will be a registered god, and you can ascend as soon as the time comes! Your Majesty, this is a heavenly gate that only opens once in a thousand years! Throughout the past and present, you are the only one who has such good luck!"
"This is an opportunity that the disciples of my Taoist sect never dreamed of. To be able to meet it now is because of the Emperor's glory. My brothers and I just want to be by the Emperor's side and ascend like little boys, so we have no regrets.
"
Mo Qing and Mo Wen advocated deception, and in a few seconds they deceived the emperor who was asking for immortality. They quickly summoned the Minister of Rites and asked him to prepare for the sacrifice to heaven.
Naturally, the Minister of Rites would not believe such ridiculous reasons, and couldn't help but say something to the emperor.
As a result, he was reprimanded by the emperor on the spot and grounded. The matter of worshiping heaven was handed over to the Minister of Rites. The emperor also said that as long as this matter was done well, he would have the Minister of Rites promoted.
The Minister of Rites naturally sang praises to the Emperor happily, which made the Emperor so happy that he couldn't even see his teeth.
What a team of treacherous ministers and cowardly kings complementing each other!
The Minister of Rites who saw this scene nearby was so angry that he had a myocardial infarction.
Foolish king!
What a fool!!!
If His Highness the Crown Prince was still here, why would the Emperor do such a foolish thing? Your Highness, why did you leave so early? What should we, the ministers who serve the country loyally, do?
"Your Majesty, no!"
The Minister of Rites couldn't help but stood up and said, "Now there are thieves outside, and there are droughts and floods inside, and corrupt officials are in trouble. The people have no rice to cook. At this time, we should open the warehouses to store grains and manage the rivers, instead of listening to these little people."
Human words, what kind of bullshit heaven are you offering sacrifices to..."
"presumptuous!"
The emperor instantly became furious.
He saw that the court was very good, but there were so many disasters. It was just these officials lying for the sake of political performance!
"emperor!"
The Minister of Rites shouted unwillingly.
"Here, Xia Wenqing has behaved inappropriately in front of the palace and disobeyed me. I will force him into the heavenly prison!"
The emperor was so angry that he lost all reason and directly called the guards to take away the Minister of Rites.
Too.
He was proud that the banquet was a prosperous time of peace, singing and dancing, he was rejoicing that he was immortal and could be the master of the world forever, and he was enjoying the flattery of his courtiers and Taoist priests, but the Minister of Rites stood up and denied all this.
.
Even if you deny it, you still criticize him.
Can this emperor endure it?
If the emperor did not kill the Minister of Rites on the spot, it would be regarded as his restraint.
However, it was precisely because of such a fuss that no one stopped him when he announced that he was going to offer sacrifices to heaven the next day. After all, no one had two more heads, so there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices when a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette was already involved.
If the emperor likes to offer sacrifices to heaven, he will do so. If nothing changes after offering sacrifices to heaven, then the blame for the world's disasters can be blamed on the emperor's unkindness.
The courtiers are very smart in their minds.
The Ministry of Rites was very busy arranging the ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven at the front, and Qiao Jinhuan and the others were also very busy at the back. They first asked the two Taoist priests to encourage the emperor to choose the location for offering sacrifices to heaven next to the imperial mausoleum, and then asked the Prince of Zhenan to send him there.
The guard guard took control.
Immediately afterwards, there was the matter of the dead soldiers.
Three of the four Dead Soldiers have defected, leaving only Anbu. Anbu, the leader, will not rebel with them, but that does not mean that other Anbu will not.
So without even the emperor being aware of it, An An quietly disappeared. An An fell into the hands of a man named An San and was under his control for the time being.
As for darkness~
Qiao Jinhuan glanced at Xinglu, who smiled at her and said, "Dead."
"Yeah?"
Qiao Jinhuan carelessly fiddled with the jade pendant wrapped around her waist, "I heard that you sent a dying man out of the capital last night. This is really rare. It's rare that you have a living person under your command."
"Well, the tendons of my hands and hamstrings have been severed. I will go to see him often."
"Oh, that's so pitiful."
"No," Xing Lu's eyes fell to the ground, "So Yu Zhong is not allowed~"
This means it must be kept secret.
But he is already a useless person...
Qiao Jinhuan smiled, "Forget it, I'll give you face."
She just didn't expect that Xinglu would really be reluctant to kill An An in the end, tsk~~~
Xing Lu lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Qiao Jinhuan didn't want to pursue this issue with him, she just came to give him a beating. After saying that, she got up and left, turned to find the queen, and arranged two shadow guards for her.
"You mean, you want me to get the jade seal while everyone is gone?"
The queen asked in surprise.
"Only when he has the jade seal can he be officially crowned king. We must ask the emperor to abdicate directly at the Tiantian Temple, otherwise there will inevitably be a lot of turmoil when the emperor returns to the palace. And those princes who have been demoted to common people will definitely take advantage of the chaos.
rise."
Qiao Jinhuan sat on a chair and analyzed the situation slowly with the Queen.
"Okay! After you leave, I will get the jade seal and send it to the Tiantian sacrifice platform."
As she said that, the queen seemed to think of another thing, "But just having a jade seal shouldn't be enough, right?"
"It's indeed not enough, but your Majesty only needs to send the jade seal. Your Majesty and we will take care of the rest."
Qiao Jinhuan said very confidently.
Under the dragnet, she didn't believe that the emperor could escape!
