Taoist Master Lingxu was already in a miserable state. Before that, he was blinded, deafened, and mute by Master Zhang.
But just like this, he was still killed by Emperor Wu.
The anger in his heart could hardly be suppressed. Wu Yuan looked at Emperor Wu with a gloomy look, "Why? Why did you kill them? They refined the elixir for you, but you killed them?"
Seeing Wu Yuan's extremely angry look, Emperor Wu didn't show any expression at all, and even had a kind smile on his face.
At this time, Eunuch Su reminded him: "Your Highness, please respect yourself."
"You have no place to speak here. Didn't we agree that there will be no monarchs and ministers today? Then won't it be okay for my son and me to quarrel?"
Wu Yuan's words left Eunuch Su speechless.
Emperor Wu also waved his hand to signal Eunuch Su to calm down, and also said with a smile: "That's right. It is normal for my son and me to quarrel and bicker."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Wu Yuan again, "Do you want to know why my father killed them all?"
Wu Yuan couldn't calm down, "If you want to know, please tell me, Father."
Emperor Wu also agreed happily, and then said lightly, "Because they lied to me and played with me like a fool, I must kill them."
Wu Yuan frowned. In his impression, there seemed to be no need for those Taoist priests to deceive Emperor Wu.
"Father, please speak more clearly." Wu Yuan asked.
"The elixir they gave me was fake. They lied to me and said it could extend my life span for hundreds of years. This is all a lie to me." A trace of anger flashed in Emperor Wu's eyes.
Of course, Wu Yuan had heard about the matter of extending life for a hundred years. From a scientific perspective, even though the elixir could have the effect of extending life for a hundred years, extending life for a hundred years was a bit too exaggerated, so Wu Yuan followed
I didn't believe it at first.
But after seeing some of the aura of the Taoist sect and understanding the personality of Taoist Lingxu, Wu Yuan also thought that this might be true.
But now Emperor Wu actually said that it was false.
"How did your father verify it? How did you know it was a lie?"
A smile appeared on Emperor Wu's face again. This smile looked extremely sinister.
"How to verify? This does not need to be verified at all, because I am about to die, so I will not live another hundred years. Of course, what they told is a lie."
At first glance, it seems to make sense, but if you think about it carefully, it is not logical.
"Wait a minute, why is my father about to die?"
When Wu Yuan asked Emperor Wu, he carefully observed Emperor Wu. His face turned red and his energy and blood were obviously recovering. He took it as a sign that his injury was getting better, but it had nothing to do with death.
Emperor Wu also immediately gave Wu Yuan an explanation, "Because I will no longer be the emperor soon, and I will be killed by my own son soon. What else is this if I am not about to die?"
Hearing Emperor Wu's words, Wu Yuan immediately stood up, pointed at Emperor Wu angrily and asked: "Is it because of this?"
"Just because of this, you killed all the Taoist priests in the underground palace?"
Eunuch Su came to Emperor Wu's side at this time and looked at Wu Yuan warily.
Emperor Wu completely ignored Wu Yuan's anger and nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, it's because of this. Since I can't live much longer, then they have deceived me, and they naturally deserve to be killed."
Wu Yuan was completely angered by Emperor Wu and laughed.
"It's ridiculous. I never thought about killing you, but you killed those poor Taoist priests because of your own assumptions? You really have no humanity at all."
"Besides, even if I really want to kill you, what does this have to do with their pills?"
Wu Yuan was almost so angry that he was speechless. He did not expect that those Taoist priests would die for such a ridiculous reason. It was simply too sad.
Emperor Wu looked at Wu Yuan with interest, and quietly looked at Wu Yuan's anger and grief.
After finally seeing Wu Yuan gradually calm down, Emperor Wu said: "Wu Yuan, your biggest weakness is the useless pity and love and justice in your heart, so you will always be far away from the throne.
One step forward."
Wu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he forced himself to calm down. When he heard Emperor Wu say this, he immediately realized that Emperor Wu might take action against him.
Wu Yuan was too lazy to continue pretending to have deep love between father and son. Now he just felt sick.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of you coming to me today to tell me this?"
Emperor Wu showed admiration when he saw this, "Not bad, you can calm down so quickly, you have the same demeanor as I did back then."
"There is only one purpose for telling you this. I want to tell you that before you kill me, I still control the fate of everyone in Dawu. Whoever I want to die must die."
"Those Taoist priests died because of you, and this is just the beginning. More people will die because of you."
"Whether it's the ministers in the court, the women in the East Palace, or your whole family, I can easily wipe them out."
At this time, Emperor Wu no longer had any kindness from his father, and once again transformed into a ruthless Emperor Wu with iron-blooded methods.
Wu Yuan finally understood that Emperor Wu's purpose of calling him here this time was to warn, which could also be said to be a threat.
The reason why those Taoist priests were used instead of other people around him was probably just because these Taoist priests could be said to be the most irrelevant people to Wu Yuan.
But it was such a group of irrelevant people that still made Wu Yuan extremely heartbroken.
In addition, Emperor Wu probably didn't want to break up with him now, so he didn't touch the people around him.
After understanding all this, Wu Yuan didn't know what to do for a while.
He had never thought about killing Emperor Wu, but this time, he really had the intention to kill.
If Emperor Wu had not died, many innocent people would have died because of him.
Now there are only two ways in front of him. If he wants to continue to fight against Emperor Wu and successfully ascend to power, he must kill Emperor Wu.
And if you can't do that, you can only compromise completely and continue to be a puppet in the hands of Emperor Wu.
Moreover, Wu Yuan knew that once he compromised this time, he would no longer have the capital to fight against Emperor Wu.
I have to say that Emperor Wu understood people's hearts and was very good at the art of emperors.
Eunuch Su looked at Wu Yuan with complicated eyes. In his opinion, Wu Yuan had lost.
The reason why his attitude toward Wu Yuan changed today is because Eunuch Su knew Emperor Wu's methods and also understood Wu Yuan's character. Wu Yuan lost this battle after all.
As for whether Wu Yuan would kill Emperor Wu, let’s not talk about Wu Yuan’s character and whether he had the courage to kill his father.
