When Yu Qingyao was in Wu country, she always covered her face when she appeared in public. She didn't expect this day to come, but she was just in case Mr. Chu of the Taiyi sect found her.
But there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and if they are not complete, someone will be able to see her true face and tell the Taoist at Jinxi Temple.
But destroying a Taoist temple will inevitably alarm the entire Wu country. The Taoist temples in the entire Wu Kingdom are bound to take action to find out the truth, which is not beautiful.
Yu Qingyao thought about it, but she was worried that Jinxi Temple would continue to investigate like this, so she came up with a bad idea to make Jinxi Temple mess up.
After a day, she cursed and killed the master of Jinxi Temple, who dared to take the lead in investigating the cause of Qian Cheng's death
When Yu Qingyao killed Rongniang, Guanzhu Qian was standing in the first row, staring at her drawing. Yu Qingyao couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.
Once the temple master died, the power of Jinxi Temple was reshuffled, and Qian Cheng's matter was ignored, and it was forgotten afterward.
It was of no avail for a few small Taoists to track him down in private.
It's fine if they didn't find Yu Qingyao, but if they did find out, they would call themselves dead.
After killing Guanzhu Qian, Yu Qingyao focused on Wu Qingde. She secretly cursed Wu Qingde's itchy scalp, and wanted to see what he was doing first and whether he had betrayed herself.
Seeing Wu Qingde's appearance, Yu Qingyao was dumbfounded and couldn't believe her eyes.
This guy Wu Qingde is no longer dressed as a warrior, wearing an imperial robe and sitting on a dragon chair.
Surrounded by a bunch of civil servants and military generals in red and purple, they seem to be in the palace.
That day, Wu Qingde was carried back to Jianye City by that Taoist.
When Wu Gong fell, Wu Qingde was taken to meet the master of Tianlong Temple.
It turned out that Emperor Wu died of a sudden illness at a young age, and had no children under his knees. The former Emperor Wu was cruel and suspicious, and killed all his brothers.
As a result, when he died, there was no direct heir to the throne.
However, this is not a big problem for Tianlongguan.
The royal direct line is gone, just find a prince from the collateral line to come out.
The direct line died in the struggle, and there were many collateral royal family members.
There are more than a hundred people, just pick at will.
But here comes the question, who to choose
There are two factions under the master of Tianlong Temple, each supporting a prince to fight, and the fight is fierce.
Xu Guanzhu was very headache, so he decided to simply choose another Empress Wu to be his successor, so as not to quarrel with them endlessly.
But it is not easy for all parties to have nothing to say about this candidate and agree to accept it.
Just at this time, Wu Qingde's case happened. Someone discovered that Wu Qingde looked like the former emperor, and suddenly had a whim, trying to get him to pretend to be the prince who was lost among the people of the former Wu emperor.
The former Emperor Wu was said to have had an affair with a civilian girl and gave birth to a prince.
Counting it, that prince is the half-brother of the former Wu Huang, and also a direct descendant, so he is most qualified to be Wu Huang.
If you want to find him, the audience will help him to the top, and no one has anything to say.
It's just that it's been a long time, and the prince couldn't be found for a while.
This proposal was told to Xu Guanzhu as a joke, but Xu Guanzhu thought it was a good idea.
Only then did he send a large number of headhunters and Taoist priests to arrest Wu Qingde, but due to unclear explanations, the subordinates made a mistake in executing the order and actually killed Wu Qingde. If it weren't for Li Huaide's rebirth, this matter would have gone wrong.
Therefore, as soon as Wu Qingde was caught, he was immediately brought into the palace to meet with Xu Guanzhu.
Li Huaide was speechless after hearing the story and idea.
Elder Liu smiled and said, "Wu Qingde, are you willing to cooperate?"
Li Huaide complained secretly, what the fuck, do the Wu family know what you're doing? If you do this, it is equivalent to changing the dynasty, you know
However, he knew in his heart that the Taoist temple really didn't care about this, it made no difference to them who was the emperor.
They didn't care whether they were direct descendants or whether they had the blood of Emperor Wu. What they cared about was whether the emperor would be obedient or not, and whether he could stabilize the political situation in Wu Kingdom.
In Elder Liu's opinion, Wu Qingde, a little liar, suddenly became the lord of a country. This is a blessing from heaven, and there is no reason to refuse it. What's even better is that Wu Qingde is used to cheating, so he can play the role of emperor well without training.
Tianlongguan didn't expect Wu Qingde, a liar, to be a good emperor, but only hoped that he could be a competent puppet to stabilize Wu's political situation and prevent civil strife so that he could free up his hands to deal with Yue's attack.
In fact, the situation of Wu State is very bad. Due to the chaos of the previous Wu Emperor, the political situation of Wu State is showing a tendency to collapse. The princes did not listen to the orders of the court.
The Yue State took advantage of the fire to loot and launched a fierce offensive, but the princes from all over the country only wanted to protect themselves and refused to resist with all their strength.
The frontline battles are retreating steadily, and several princes have surrendered to Yue.
But at this time, that bastard Wu Huang was still dead, which further deteriorated the situation. If the issue of the throne was not resolved as soon as possible, it would be impossible to fight the enemy with peace of mind internally.
Xu Guanzhu urgently needs Wu Qingde to come forward to stabilize the situation and quell internal disputes.
As for the rest, he couldn't care about it for a while.
Even in the future, if it was discovered that Wu Qingde was not a descendant of the royal family, that would be fine, as long as the battle situation was stabilized, Wu Qingde would be fooled, and then Wu Qingde would be killed, and another prince would be promoted.
If no one finds out, then everyone will pretend to be deaf and dumb and muddle through.
The question Wu Qingde faced was whether to be such a puppet.
Xu Guanzhu hoped that Wu Qingde would be the one, because Wu Qingde was not a real descendant of the royal family, and this was a great excuse. After Wu Qingde came to power, he would never dare to disobey the intention of Tianlongzong, because Tianlongzong could use this excuse to kill him at any time.
Li Huaide pondered for a while, and decided to become it.
Without him, if he doesn't agree, I don't know what will happen to him. It's good to be killed.
What Li Huaide wanted was to die.
But what if you don't kill for a while? Then I don't know what will happen. It is not without the means of Taoism to control people.
It's a completely different thing to be a puppet with autonomy than to be a puppet with no autonomy at all.
Li Huaide was thinking, agree first, and strive for certain freedom and power, such as unlocking the meridian restriction and getting a sword.
Under the constant surveillance of Taoists, he couldn't even commit suicide.
As long as he pretends to cooperate, gain a certain amount of power, and let the people relax his vigilance, he can find a chance to commit suicide smoothly, right
In order to commit suicide, Li Huaide also worked hard.
He pretended to be ecstatic, and said, "You really want me to be the emperor? Don't you just lie to me? Of course I am willing to be the emperor! Who doesn't want to be, who is the son of a bitch! Can I really be the emperor? "
Xu Guanzhu and the others were very aggrieved, they didn't want to be the emperor, so, in Li Huaide's mouth, they all became the grandsons of turtles.
Seeing him like this, Xu Guanzhu felt that he must be very willing, and nodded to Elder Liu, meaning that you will do this next.
He walked away, too lazy to deal with the little liar.
Elder Liu couldn't leave, he had to stay, and told Li Huaide carefully what he could and couldn't do.
