Shang Xingzhou asked, "Why him?"
Xu Yourong said: "Because he will be the new king."
This war was launched jointly by her and the others. If Shang Xingzhou's side wins in the end, the emperor must change.
Chen Liuwang was the most suitable candidate, and it was also the one that Shang Xingzhou had already selected.
Shang Xingzhou didn't deny it, and said calmly, "Yes, among the descendants of His Majesty Taizong, he is the best, although he is not as good as His Majesty."
Xu Yourong said: "I really want to know, are you really willing to spend all your time educating His Majesty for more than twenty years?"
Shang Xingzhou was silent for a while, and said, "If Your Majesty is really moved by you, then you have to give up."
Xu Yourong said: "Have you ever thought that my entering the palace that night might have been just an illusion?"
Shang Xingzhou said, "Your Majesty did not write to Luoyang."
Many days have passed, enough to write a very sincere letter.
But he didn't receive it.
Xu Yourong understood what he meant.
This was the result she wanted to see.
Therefore, King Chen Liu must die.
If he died, even if Shang Xingzhou won the war, who would be the emperor
Those Chen family princes who have their own ambitions will naturally drag the human race into chaos.
What's the point of Shang Xingzhou fighting this war
Even though it was the beginning of spring, the wind was a little bit cold, and I couldn't feel any warmth.
The green trees in Tianshu Mausoleum are continuous, but the shrubs on both sides of the Shinto are full of dust, looking a little listless.
Shang Xingzhou looked outside the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, looked at the dust dragons flying up, and knew that the Xuanjia heavy cavalry would arrive in half an hour, and his expression was still calm.
"He is an excellent young man, and he will not die easily."
"I have known him since I was very young. I know that he is extremely cautious, and he is used to staying behind in everything he does."
"Yes, he is still far inferior to His Majesty Taizong, but at certain critical moments, he lacks the courage to face blood directly."
Shang Xingzhou turned to look at Xu Yourong, and said, "And you've already found his way out?"
Xu Yourong said softly, "Not bad."
The gentle wind is blowing through the streets and alleys, and those buildings that carry the dust of history have long learned not to be moved by the so-called big events.
The palaces on both sides of Taiping Road are very quiet, perhaps because their masters have already gone to Tianshu Mausoleum.
King Chen Liu didn't go, but stayed, sitting in the flower hall of the palace, drinking tea quietly.
The figure of the master of the palace kept flashing outside the window.
The tea in the porcelain bowl was getting cold gradually, just like his fingers holding the tea bowl.
He gently put the tea bowl back on the table, and glanced under the window imperceptibly.
The floor there is covered with cyan floor tiles, one of which is slightly smoother.
The back road is not the back door, on the contrary, at this moment, the back door is often the most dangerous place.
The back road that King Chen Liu arranged for himself was just under that floor tile, which was a tunnel leading to Luoqu.
Since the previous dynasty, Taiping Road has been the place where the rich and powerful lived. Those nobles who are nostalgic for power and afraid of accidents have dug many tunnels.
After Zhou Tong took charge of the Cleaning Department, he dug many tunnels again.
Those tunnels are as dense as a spider web, and no one can figure it out except himself.
…
…
"And Mo Yu."
Shang Xingzhou said to Xu Yourong: "The so-called back road can easily become a dead end."
Xu Yourong said: "Yes, so King Chen Liu will definitely die."
…
…
Three years ago, when the capital was full of wind and snow, Chen Changsheng broke into Beibing Masi Hutong, and Zhou Tong hid in the underground prison.
When he was talking to Xue He, he was poisoned by Zhexiu.
With difficulty, he escaped from the underground passage to the outer house on Taiping Road, but he still couldn't get rid of Zhexiu's pursuit.
But what really made him despair was the beautiful palace-skirted woman who had been waiting for him in the outer house.
Mo Yu knew everything about him, whether it was the outer house on Taiping Road or those extremely complicated tunnels.
Today, there were also people waiting for King Chen Liu over the tunnel.
The people waiting for King Chen Liu were two Taoist nuns.
Going down from the rockery in Luling Palace, there is a tunnel that turns west.
The tunnel leading from the Xiangwang Mansion to Luoqu meets this tunnel.
The two Taoist nuns sat there cross-legged.
A Taoist nun looks serene and seemingly weak.
A Taoist nun raised her eyebrows angrily, and her eyes were filled with thunder.
It was Huairen and Huaishu who were the two master-uncles with the highest seniority and the highest realm in Nanxi Zhai.
…
…
"I've always wanted to know what you're going to use Huairen and Huaishu for when you let them go to Beijing..."
Shang Xingzhou looked at Xu Yourong and said, "So it's here."
It was only then that Xu Yourong knew that the two martial uncles hadn't been able to hide it from each other when they entered the capital, and said, "Since it's the first kill, we must try to make sure that we don't lose anything."
Shang Xingzhou shook his head and said, "In my opinion, this killing cannot be done."
…
…
"Tea, please."
King Chen Liu picked up the teapot, filled three teacups, and then pushed it forward with great courtesy.
The tea in his tea bowl is cold, but the tea in the cup must be hot, because it represents respect.
Sitting opposite were three Taoists in Tsing Yi, their eyes were restrained, seemingly ordinary, occasionally their sleeves moved slightly, but there was sword intent lingering out, clearly showing extraordinary realm.
Especially the white-haired old Taoist, who seemed dull and silent, but gave people an unfathomable feeling.
Few people know that when Shang Xingzhou was at the Orthodox Academy in Kyoto and when he avoided Xining, the Luoyang Changchun Temple was presided over by this old Taoist.
It was only today that King Chen Liu knew this, and at the same time he discovered that Dao Zun's pursuit was stronger than he imagined.
With this half-sacred old Taoist by his side, plus two other Taoists from Changchun, and there were so many masters in the palace, he suddenly felt that he was a little too cautious.
Of course, if something really went wrong with Tianshu Mausoleum, and the other party really gained power, they would still have to leave after all.
King Chen Liu's eyes fell on the blue brick under the window again.
…
…
"You put the strongest person beside King Chen Liu, it seems that you really value him."
Shang Xingzhou didn't continue talking, but Xu Yourong understood what he meant, and said calmly, "Then he must die."
Shang Xingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, because Xu Yourong's expression didn't change at all, it was still so calm.
It's not pretending to be calm. At this point in the game, any emotional concealment is meaningless and unnecessary.
Xu Yourong was really calm.
Because she was very sure that King Chen Liu would definitely die today.
…
…
It was very quiet in Prince Xiang's mansion. Those masters with indifferent expressions looked around vigilantly, changing their positions from time to time, and there was no sound from their feet.
In the garden at the rear of the flower hall, two formation masters were concentrating on the sand table, ready to adjust their defenses at all times.
A man in Tsing Yi stood at the base of the wall, his shoulders drooped, his eyes half closed, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.
This person looked very ordinary, with an ordinary sword loosely tied on his belt.
But anyone who knew him knew that the reason why the sword was tied so loosely was to make it easier to draw the sword, and the drooping of his shoulders was also for the convenience of pulling the sword.
The former is a habit he has kept since his debut, and the latter is a change he made after meeting Wang Po in Xunyang City.
From standing posture to breathing to clothing, all his details are for the convenience of drawing the sword.
So in this world, he is the one with the fastest sword.
