There was more than one palace guard outside, and the closest one was the one who had just delivered the Alchemy Sutra. He immediately opened the door and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Take all the elixirs from the apothecary to the elixir room, I want to make elixirs!"
"yes!"
A few steps away from Su Ziji, you enter the garden from the moon cave door, pass through a corridor, and there is a courtyard near the water. The willows blow in the wind and the blue waves are cool. It is a good place to live in summer. Huidao is in the small courtyard study, focusing on playing chess with himself.
, it was able to create a sense of urgency that made the Taoist boy unable to take his eyes off it.
The oriole chirped, and Hui Dao seemed to be deep in thought. He picked up a sunspot and was thinking about something on his mind. He suddenly asked: "You have been studying Tian Jishu for some time, have you ever felt anything?"
After all, although he was a Taoist boy, he is now an adult. He has learned a lot from following Hui Dao in these years.
The fact that he was accepted as a Taoist boy by Hui Dao means that he has some talent and understanding, but even so, he has only learned Tianji Technique so far, and he has only just entered the palace.
"You mean now?"
The Taoist boy hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes and felt it, and then said: "The Daiwang is a noble person and cannot be spied on, but the Daiwang palace seems to be covered with a layer of disaster. Could it be the backlash of the temple?"
"anything else?"
"Also..." Tao Tong considered it and said: "It seems that the inner house also has the aura of disaster, is it a little small? Or is it implicated by the king?"
What he said is a bit uncertain. When it comes to the king, it is just a matter of looking at the flowers in the fog. How can we see clearly?
When Huidao heard this, he finally raised his head and looked at him: "It's good if you can see this. In fact, although the disaster outside is great, it has no foundation and cannot shake the king. Although the inner house is small, there is a danger of overthrowing."
He said words that would horrify outsiders, but the expression on his face was not only not nervous, but also had a smile. He paused and continued: "Of course, this is also my chance."
The Taoist boy couldn't help but ask: "Will that generation of kings win?"
"Of course, with my help, you have a better chance of winning." As he said this, Huidao's heart suddenly started pounding, his expression suddenly changed, he stood up suddenly, opened the door, and stood under the eaves and looked at the sky.
When I went there, I saw a murderous aura rushing out of Prince Dai's Mansion, and it was so confusing that I couldn't see clearly.
I still wanted to continue reading, but my eyes hurt. Huidao covered his eyes, and tears flowed slightly: "Tianjiguo can't spy on it. Sure enough, something changed again?"
"It seems that it still has something to do with me?" Huidao wiped away tears, his eyes were red and swollen. At this moment, he finally lost the look of having everything under control. He lowered his eyes and stopped looking outside, but couldn't help but count with his fingers. After counting for a long time,
Muttered: "The changes are so rapid, but it seems a bit too drastic."
I walked back to the house and sat down in front of the chessboard. I didn't know if I was looking at the chessboard or thinking about something.
The Taoist boy didn't dare to ask. This was the first time that the real person showed such an expression. He had lost the calmness of the past. If it disturbed the real person's meditation, it might be bad, so he just stood aside with his hands down.
Huidao didn't say anything. After a while, he picked up a piece and dropped it. He thought for a long time, pushed the pieces around, and frowned: "No wonder my master's last words said to me, those who are good at playing the secrets of heaven will surely be played by the secrets of heaven."
"I can't even see through it. I can only feel that I am deeply involved in the huge vortex, and it will be difficult to escape. How dangerous is this game of secrets?"
In an instant, Huidao truly understood his master's helplessness and inability to control himself.
Prince Qi's Mansion
King Qi frowned and looked at the piece of paper held in his palm. The content on it was what Zheng Huai had passed on about the secret discussion on behalf of the king, and murmured: "Is the fruit ripe?"
Clenching the piece of paper tightly, King Qi looked at the staff sitting below and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
He had just read out what was written on the piece of paper. Not only was he meditating, but his staff were also meditating.
One person stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, King Dai has made rapid progress in the past two years, from Dai Hou to Dai Guogong and then to Dai Wang. Now we cannot allow him to make great achievements again!"
"I second the motion!" Another one stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have learned a little bit about destiny. I know that the most fearful thing about destiny is the formation of a general trend. It is like the rolling of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, which is unstoppable."
"The King Dai is now showing signs of becoming powerful, and this cannot be tolerated."
"Now we have to strike in the middle to interrupt this momentum."
"And doing things will lead to consumption. Only consumption without compensation will naturally weaken. Now we have to plant whatever trees for the king and pick whatever peaches we pick!"
King Qi hesitated as he pondered. This person's name was Jiang Yu, and he was a new staff member who had joined the government. Although what he said seemed reasonable, he was not a true confidant after all. What he said made him murmur a little.
In the palace battles and political battles, everyone seems to be considerate, considerate and reasonable, but in fact, they are not up to par and are full of traps, and King Qi has seen too many.
At this moment, a guard hurriedly came in and bowed: "Your Majesty, I'm going to start making elixirs on your behalf!"
This is the order of King Qi. Every move made by King Dai must be reported immediately.
"Open the furnace to make alchemy? What does it mean to act as king?" To be honest, King Qi was a little puzzled, but after Jiang Yu heard this, he immediately took another step, with a fierce look on his face.
"Your Majesty, this is a ready-made excuse. No matter what, the imperial court openly rejects alchemy and denounces heretical ways. Now that it is made on behalf of the king, it can be impeached!"
Seeing that the King of Qi was silent, Jiang Yu continued to persuade: "Furthermore, on behalf of the King, he attacked the shrine and then transported the spoils to his own house. This is a violation!"
"Although it is just a book, if you have done it, you have done it. You can impeach with confidence. Even if the emperor does not punish you, you can still make the king miserable!"
"This is the key moment, we must stop it!"
Seeing that King Qi was still hesitant, Jiang Yu sighed secretly and glanced around, hoping that others would follow suit and persuade him. However, there were too many lessons learned from past mistakes, which were related to important decisions. His staff were hesitant and seemed a little dissatisfied with himself.
Jiang Yu felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he had gone too far, but at this moment he could not make any progress, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, this opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back. Your Majesty is already very old. If you give the King Dai another step..."
If the acting king takes one step further, wouldn’t he become the grandson?
Indeed, no matter how deep the water is, how many interests and scruples there are, once the king takes the next step and becomes the grandson, what else will he have to do with himself?
Once the status is determined, it will be extremely difficult to overthrow him again!
Don't think that the title of prince and grandson is not valuable just because the prince was deposed.
Being able to be a prince or grandson means that you have orthodoxy and the support of the government and the public. In the past, the prince's affairs were not only the emperor's own will, but also had unavoidable reasons.
Even if the father wants to do it again, it is not that easy. What is even more frightening is that the emperor was young back then and the crown prince was not important. Now that the emperor is old, neither the clan nor the ministers can accept the continued reversal. If the king really
When he reaches the position of grandson, I am afraid that the current situation will force most ministers to have no choice but to support him, and he may not have a chance.
