Chapter 287: out on a limb

Views:

The ancestor of the Fei family changed his face slightly and quickly gave the ancestor of the Liu family a look.

The ancestor of the Liu family also knew that he had made a mistake, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Shen Qingping smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Liu, it seems you have forgotten that not everyone in the Nine Palaces may be as loyal to His Majesty as King Yan."

"Among them, King Cang is the more arrogant. He has been coveting His Majesty's position for many years. He even made many moves behind the scenes to integrate the power of the Nine Palaces to make His Majesty abdicate? In my opinion, if the two countries really go to war, Cang I am afraid that the king will be the first prince to rebel!"

"Mr. Shen, be careful what you say!"

The ancestor of the Fei family quickly spoke out to stop him.

He casually talked about members of the royal family and labeled them as rebels. Based on this alone, Shen Qingping's actions today were a bit over the top.

Even though he was the predecessor of Wuzong, he still had some power in the court, but after all, he was a minister, and the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom was the king.

Now that the emperor and his ministers are talking, Shen Qingping seems to be trying to force him into the palace. If he had been an emperor with a suspicious personality, he would have had his head taken off by now.

Although the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom is quite tolerant, don't forget that before becoming the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom, His Majesty was also an extremely powerful warrior.

"Grand Sacrifice Wine, after all, you are just worried that Gu will be stabbed in the back by King Cang. If it really comes to that point and King Cang completely exposes himself, doesn't Gu definitely not be his opponent?"

The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qingping. There was no anger in his words, but there was unparalleled majesty in his words.

"Your Majesty, I have no such intention."

Shen Qingping immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "But King Cang and King Yun have had different intentions for a long time, so your majesty must be on guard!"

"King Yun?"

The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom narrowed his eyes and said with great interest: "I remember that Dajiujiu had a close personal relationship with King Yun, but now he insists that King Yun has had different intentions for a long time. Doesn't that mean that you yourself are not that clean?"

When his friendship with Prince Yun was exposed, Shen Qingping showed no fear at all and said in a deep voice: "I do have some friendship with Prince Yun, but it was an official relationship that was forced back then. Your Majesty handles government affairs and should be aware of the court affairs. The situation in the hall is about being arrogant and cunning, and forming gangs for their own interests. Even if I want to be a great leader, at that time, I was powerless to deal with the important officials of various ministries for the benefit of the Wuzong. I could only rely on Yun The power of kings.”

"You mean that the original relationship between you and King Yun was just for the sake of Wuzong?"

The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom showed an incomprehensible smile and said with emotion: "If you say this, I would like to thank you for the great sacrifice. Wuzong is the foundation of the Holy Kingdom. Without Wuzong, the Holy Kingdom would never be what it is today. These talents, if you look around the country, nearly 60% of the warriors have studied in the Wuzong, and even in the court, there are still countless officials who hold the disciple ceremony for the high sacrifice wine."

"The Great Sacrificial Wine had such connections back then, so why did it have to rely on King Yun's power?"

The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom's smile slowly faded, "Does the Great Sacrificial Wine think Gu is a fool?"

It was only then that Shen Qingping's expression showed a bit of solemnity, "I don't dare."

"Dignified ancestor of the Shen family, the last grand sacrificial wine of Emperor Wuzong, what are you afraid of?"

The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom said word by word: "You came today to persuade me to integrate the power of the Nine Palaces. Is it really as you said, wholeheartedly for the Holy Kingdom and the sake of the people?"

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no bad intentions. Please be clear to your Majesty!"

Shen Qingping slowly knelt on the ground and his voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly even outside the palace.

"If you don't change your mind now, will you have to die to prove your ambition after receiving the grand sacrificial wine?"

The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom narrowed his eyes and said with a soft smile: "I don't want to be a foolish king who forced the old ministers of the previous dynasty to death. There is no need to do this for the grand ceremony."

Shen Qingping lowered his head and could not clearly see the expression on his face, but he was kneeling on the ground with no intention of getting up.

The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom was not in a hurry to persuade him, but said slowly: "Once the power of Jiufu is taken back alone, who will be the happiest person?"

He looked at the ancestor of the Liu family and said with a smile: "Old Liu, who do you think it will be?"

The ancestor of the Liu family looked embarrassed, but he was not as bold as before, "I don't know what to say to your Majesty."

"Where is Mr. Fei?" The Holy Kingdom Emperor did not pursue the matter and continued to look at the ancestor of the Fei family.

The ancestor of the Fei family was silent for a long time and sighed: "Your Majesty, this matter has pros and cons. We must not conclude that Mr. Shen will submit to others because of this."

In fact, not only the ancestors of the Liu family but also the ancestors of the Fei family could hear the profound meaning of His Majesty the Holy Kingdom. It was just that the ancestor of the Fei family had a better relationship with Shen Qingping, so he dared to defend him at this time.

After hearing the words of the ancestor of the Fei family, His Majesty the Holy Kingdom said calmly: "Yes, what Mr. Fei said is very reasonable. Everything in the world has its two sides. With the power of Jiufu taken back, Gu naturally becomes the only one in the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven. There is no longer any force that can check and balance the voice above Gu's head, but this way, Jiufu will have a more direct excuse, and can force Gu down from this position without the need to integrate forces."

"The Demon King of the Jitian Demon Kingdom said it right. That's because the royal family of the Jitian Demon Kingdom has always had to have a bloody storm to decide who will be the next emperor. The current generation of Demon Emperors killed them with their own hands. All my brothers and sisters, until the old Demon King had no one to choose from, he justifiably took that position."

"How can such a madman and such a country be compared with our Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom?"

"Do you think I, Mu Jing, am a complete idiot?"

The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom leaned forward and looked at Shen Qingping, who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

"Your Majesty..."

After a long time, Shen Qingping finally spoke.

His voice was a little dry, and there was a hint of relief.

"Your Majesty is right. There is no similarity between the Jitian Demon Kingdom and the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom. If your Majesty really loses control and takes back the power in Jiufu's hands, the happiest person should be King Cang."

After Shen Qingping said these words, he silently raised his head, with both relief and a trace of loss that could not be concealed in his eyes.

He was not disappointed because the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom was not fooled, but because of the heart and wisdom shown by the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom.

Shen Qingping admitted that he had indeed underestimated this monarch.

"You didn't put your chips on Prince Cang." Just when Shen Qingping was thinking complicatedly, the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom suddenly said something, which shocked him even more.

The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom said calmly: "If you bet your chips on Prince Cang, you shouldn't look like this now."

"Old Shen is definitely not that kind of person, Your Majesty knows for sure!" The ancestor of the Fei family quickly stood up and wanted to explain a few words to Shen Qingping.

However, the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom directly raised his hand and interrupted him, "I know the character of the great priest, and his loyalty to the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian is beyond doubt."

"I'm just curious. If it's not King Cang, then who is it?"

"Dajijiu thinks, in the current Tiantian Holy Kingdom, who else is worthy of you risking your life and entering the palace to make such a dangerous attempt to drive Gu out of this position?"

Shen Qingping was silent for two consecutive questions, and then said: "I... don't want to support anyone."

"I simply feel that Your Majesty should retreat."

"Mr. Shen?"

The ancestor of the Fei family looked at Shen Qingping in disbelief.

As soon as these treacherous words came out of his mouth, no matter what Shen Qingping said today, he would be convicted of rebellion.

"Retreat?" The Emperor of the Holy Kingdom pondered for a long time, and finally said calmly: "The Grand Priest Wine thinks that now, does Gu have any way out?"

"Your Majesty can retreat at any time if he wants to."

Shen Qingping spoke one word at a time, and his words were shocking: "If you continue to sit in this position, your Majesty will become an eternal sinner of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom!"
