"Kill?" Zu An's expression changed, a little incredulous, "Gong Cheng and Wei have always been highly respected, loyal and patriotic, why do you want to kill them?"
Bi Qi hesitated for a moment and then explained: "Azu, because of Linglong's relationship, you are not an outsider. I just want to teach you something today."
"Their method of death is precisely because of their high moral standing. In the past, the emperor suppressed them. Now that the prince has succeeded to the throne, it is difficult to convince the public regardless of his prestige or strength. Who can suppress them then?"
Zu An explained: "Although the two of them were close to King Qi before, they were not the kind to rebel against the court for King Qi. They still put the court and the country first. After the prince succeeds to the throne, they want to The prince will still be loyal to him."
Bi Qi shook her head after hearing this: "This is why the Qin family is said to be naive. They either directly devoted themselves to King Qi's camp and sent troops to help him ascend the throne; or they completely cut off their relationship with King Qi and took the lead to join the emperor. "
"In the end, they didn't do either. They supported King Qi but couldn't let go of the concept of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. They were just being bitches and wanted to build a memorial arch."
Zu An nodded secretly after hearing this. It was indeed as he said. Qin Zheng was still too upright. He supported King Qi but was unwilling to lead troops to support him. As a result, both sides were now at a disadvantage.
"And you just said that the Qin family will continue to be loyal and patriotic," Bi Qi sneered, "but who can guarantee such a thing, and who dares to believe it?"
"Guo Cheng's character over the years is obvious to all." Although Zu An knew this, he still couldn't help but defend Qin Zheng.
Bi Qi shook her head: "No one in the court will believe in character or some vague guarantees. The Qin family is from King Qi's camp and is destined to be purged. Moreover, their prestige is too high and threatens the new king. , just take this opportunity to deprive them of their military power, which is also the intention of all parties in the court."
Zu An was silent, thinking that he had to find a way to save the people of the Qin family, and he didn't know how Chu Youzhao, who was living in the Qin family, was doing now.
At this time, Bi Qi was a bit sarcastic: "If the Qin family really dares to raise an army to resist, just like the prince of Qi, maybe everyone will still treat him as a rat, but now he is just a lamb to be slaughtered."
Zu An had to lament that Qin Zheng was an upright person and dedicated to serving the country, but he seemed like an idiot in the eyes of old foxes in various political circles. It was really an irony.
"What happened to Prince Qi?"
Bi Qi replied: "The King of Qi should have made arrangements before the incident, and asked his trusted aides to take him back to the fiefdom of Qi State first. When he learned that this side failed, he directly supported his troops and respected himself. It was not easy for the court to arrest him for a while. , for fear of causing chaos across the country."
Now the emperor's life and death are uncertain, and a new king has not yet been established. There are a lot of people who dare not make the decision to send troops to attack him.
Fortunately, the Qin family was quite cooperative and did not go with Prince Qi.
"By the way, apart from the Qin family, the Murong family is also finished." Bi Qi seemed to be gloating about these misfortunes.
Zu An was startled and hurriedly asked what was going on. Murong Tong's dark face, as if everyone owed him money, appeared in his mind, and at the same time, Murong Qinghe's slim and tall figure appeared in his mind.
"What else could be going on? Firstly, the Murong family was close to King Qi back then. Secondly, as Guang Luxun, he was originally responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor this time. If such a big thing happened to the emperor, he would naturally I have to be held accountable too." Bi Qi laughed. Murong Tong's temper was as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit. He made himself angry several times, but now he finally got his retribution.
"Murong Tong was thrown into the sky prison, and at least he was sentenced to death."
Zu An couldn't help but be frightened when he heard that he said it lightly, but it meant the destruction of several top families. Compared with these inhuman political foxes, he was still too emotional.
"Where is Duke Linhai?" Zu An asked hurriedly.
Pei Mianman's grandfather, Linhai Gong Pei Zheng, held an important position in the service and was a backbone of King Qi's camp at the beginning. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to do well this time.
"Pei Zheng will naturally fall, but the final decision on how to deal with him has not yet been decided." Bi Qi sneered. They were already old rivals. After fighting each other for so many years, they had already developed a real temper.
Zu An: "..."
For a moment, he had a sense of absurdity. Why were all the families of his confidante who fell?
Why did he become enemies with King Qi in the first place?
"Where are the Yu family and Jiang family?" Zu An asked again.
"Because the Yu family has been dealt with by the emperor before, although Yu Xuan stepped down, the Yu family escaped the disaster," Bi Qi replied, "As for the Jiang family, they are related by marriage to the Pei family, so they will most likely be implicated. "
"But that old fox Jiang Boyang has been related by marriage to various major families over the years. I think someone will protect them in the end, so it won't be a big problem."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief and finally heard the good news.
At this time, Bi Qi patted Zu An on the shoulder: "Azu, the reason why I told you so much is because I want to cooperate with you. Now the Liu family and the Meng family are uniting to seize the power of the court and install their own people into Qi Dynasty. When the Wang Yifeng fell, I sent Zi Ang back to the capital to help his sister, but they were unable to support themselves, so it is estimated that the Liu family will have the final say in the capital from now on."
The queen's charming appearance appeared in Zu An's mind, and he felt a headache. The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. It was painful for you to be so carefree.
But he replied: "Don't worry, Master Bi. The Crown Princess has been very kind to me. She has given me all the most precious things in the East Palace. I will naturally keep it in my heart."
Bi Qi felt that his words sounded strange, but she thought he was just saying that Bi Linglong was important to him and promoted him to be the most popular person in the East Palace, so she laughed: "Azu, it's good that you have this intention. With you assisting Linglong at all times, and me helping in the court, even if the Liu family covers the sky with one hand, there is no need to be afraid of them."
Zu An was a little confused: "As far as I know, Liu Guang and Liu Yao are a bit... mediocre. How can such a person control the entire court?"
"Liu Guang and Liu Yao are nothing to worry about, but as descendants of the Liu family, their strength should not be underestimated." Bi Qi looked a little solemn, "The most powerful person in the Liu family is actually the queen. In her early years, she was amazingly talented and beautiful. Some people even said It is said that her talent is no less than that of the emperor. It’s a pity that she was at her peak and was injured in an accident, causing her to become an ordinary person.”
"But recently, for some unknown reason, her cultivation suddenly recovered, and she directly broke through the Grand Master not long ago. And the Liu family also has an ancestor who also has the cultivation of the Grand Master, plus the alliance between the Meng family and the Liu family, Meng Yi My father is one of the eight princes of the imperial court, and he is also the grand master. Together with the Queen's natural righteousness, the military power held by the Liu family, and the resources of the Meng family, they are enough to take advantage of this opportunity to take control of the imperial court."
Speaking later, he felt a little annoyed: "I have always thought that the queen was a disabled person, so I didn't take precautions against the Liu family. I don't know how she recovered. I heard that she took some miraculous medicine, and I don't know what medicine is so useful. At that time, I will also let Linglong eat some to see if she can improve her strength."
Zu An looked strange, thinking that the Queen had eaten a lot in both mouths, and the Crown Princess had also eaten...
He immediately dispelled these thoughts, but was a little shocked that the queen's cultivation level back then was actually a grand master, which was completely invisible.
At this time, Bi Qi stood up and took a picture of her clothes: "Okay, I came to talk to you. I want to make you feel at ease so that we can work together in the future. As for King Yan and Zhao Yuan, you don't have to worry. I'm here and they can I dare not touch you."
"Thank you, Master Bi!" Zu An sent him away with a kind face, then sat back on the table and began to meditate.
In fact, he has no interest in these struggles for power. He has already cultivated the world of immortality, and still engaging in these political battles is really not doing his job properly.
But he definitely had to go back to the capital. Too many people needed his rescue.
He opened a piece of white paper and wrote a few key names.
While I was thinking, my heart suddenly moved, and a graceful figure in red and black skirt jumped in from the window.
You can see his eyes shaking in front of the other person.
"Manman!"
"Azu!"
A wisp of fragrant wind blew over, and a fiery-hot-human body fell directly into his arms.
"What's wrong?" Zu An was a little surprised when he felt that Pei Mianman was holding him extra hard.
"I'm leaving." Pei Mianman felt aggrieved. "The leader and the master want to take me back. The matter in Zishan this time is too big. We at Biluo Palace don't want to get involved. We have to go back and close the mountain gate for a while." It's said that if we can go back, it depends on your face, and they don't dare to embarrass us."
Zu An: "..."
Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot?
"Can you not leave?"
"No, the leader and master are very resolute this time, and after what happened, they plan to go back and teach my sect more advanced techniques. I also need to retreat to fully understand the Butterfly Yin from the Other Side I got in the secret realm. .”
There was deep reluctance in Pei Mianman's eyes, but she quickly warned herself that there were more and more powerful confidante figures around Azu, and if she did not advance in cultivation, she would retreat, and she would not be able to fight back if she was bullied in the future.
Besides, Azu can even defeat the emperor now. The gap between the two sides is really too big. Maybe Azu doesn't think it matters now, but as his strength becomes stronger and stronger, the gap between him and himself becomes wider and wider...
Feeling her determination, Zu An didn't want to delay her cultivation: "Then when are you leaving?"
"tonight!"
"Why so fast?"
"Master and the leader feel that this place is unlucky and do not want to stay here for another quarter of an hour."
"..."
"That's why I came here to say goodbye to you and give you a gift."
Zu An was startled when he heard this: "What gift?"
Pei Mianman suddenly smiled charmingly and leaned into his ear: "Are you writing? Let me help you sharpen the ink."
As he spoke, his whole figure slowly lowered.
Pei Mianman, Xiafei's cheeks, held the most gentle and delicate side of herself to add fragrance to his red sleeves.
Huh, I'm leaving soon, and I can't take advantage of other goblins.
Zu An raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
