Having made up his mind, Fang Yi took the lead in giving orders to Qing Ling and Li Wu, asking them to continue collecting information and hide their identities for the time being, waiting for emergencies.
In fact, Fang Yi is secretly thinking about another thing now.
That is to cultivate his own team. The world is so big that one person's power is always limited. It is impossible for Fang Yi to get all the information by himself. He needs a strong team to help him.
Qing Ling and Li Wu are the two most basic people in his team. They are the two people he has known since he first entered the world.
Fang Yi decided to continue wandering around the world, secretly collecting information, and by the way, he was also planning to go find the people from the Night Watch Division again.
…
Imperial Palace, Wuji Hall.
Wuji Hall is the palace of the Prince of the East Palace, but now it is in a mess. It is obvious that the owner here has just lost his temper.
"Why, why??" Yun Wuji looked like a madman at this time, completely losing the bearing and self-cultivation of the Prince of the East Palace. Instead, he wore his hair down and continued to destroy everything in his palace.
There was no one in the main hall, except Song Zhiwen, the great scholar who stood nearby and kept looking at the crazy appearance of the prince of the East Palace. If it were anyone else, no one would be able to see the current prince's appearance.
Only the people closest to the prince, who had watched the prince grow up and been respectfully called Master Song by the prince, could see the prince like this.
At this time, Yun Wuji was tired from smashing the table, so he collapsed on the ground, wailing loudly, like a wronged child, and said: "Master Song, Master Song, tell me, what did I do wrong? What, why, why hasn’t my father passed the throne to me now??”
Song Zhiwen looked at the prince's appearance and sighed slightly in his heart, thinking of what happened these days.
Some time ago, the Imperial Preceptor suddenly received shocking news. Emperor Taiping's condition suddenly worsened. His body was as thin as skin and bones, and he was almost dying.
As the eighth grade of the Taoist sect, the national master's alchemy skills are at the pinnacle and superb. Every elixir he refines is a fine product. Over the years, Emperor Taiping's body has been maintained so well. It is completely a national treasure. The teacher’s contribution.
But suddenly, the news came from the Imperial Master, which shocked both Yun Wuji and Song Zhiwen.
After all, when I saw Emperor Taiping some time ago, he was fine, so why did he suddenly not do well?
Yun Wuji and Song Zhiwen immediately went to visit Emperor Taiping, and they saw that just as the imperial master had said, Emperor Taiping was now only skin and bones, lying on the bed dying and might die at any time.
Yun Wuji cried like a tearful person, and asked Emperor Taiping to live a good life and cultivate himself, and also asked the Imperial Master to take good care of him.
But a few days ago, Emperor Taiping could hardly hold on any longer and summoned the prince, Song Zhiwen, and other important officials of the court to prepare for his death.
But before Emperor Taiping fainted and died, he didn't say a single nutritious word.
He asked Gu just to say: "My dear friends, please assist the Crown Prince of the East Palace and continue to let the Crown Prince supervise the country."
At this point, Emperor Taiping fainted.
According to the Imperial Preceptor, Emperor Taiping was still breathing a sigh of relief and was not dead.
His Majesty did not die, and he had called all the ministers over before, but he never said anything about passing the throne to Yun Wuji.
On the contrary, Emperor Taiping did not know what his considerations were, but instead asked the ministers to continue to assist the Prince of the East Palace.
That's right, continue to assist the Prince of the East Palace.
He was talking about the Crown Prince of the East Palace. In other words, before Emperor Taiping died, Yun Wuji could only be the Crown Prince of the East Palace.
…
This is the reason why Yun Wuji has been depressed these days.
To be honest, Song Zhiwen had assisted Emperor Taiping for many years. Logically speaking, he felt that he knew the emperor. But since Emperor Taiping began to recuperate, Song Zhiwen felt that the emperor had changed. He had a different temperament. The changes made Song Zhiwen a little unpredictable.
He doesn't even know what Emperor Taiping is thinking now.
Not only Yun Wuji couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out either.
Emperor Taiping should have known about his physical condition, but in the end, he still did not say that he would give up his position to Yun Wuji.
Falling short of success.
Song Zhiwen was also a little unmotivated. He originally thought that he was about to step into the threshold of the ninth-grade Confucian saint, but he did not expect that Emperor Taiping did not give him this opportunity in the end.
Song Zhiwen practiced the "power" Tao, so he is now the head of the civil servants and controls the power of the civil servants. This is in line with his Tao, so he is so powerful. As an eighth-grade prime minister and assistant, he has become a leader of Confucianism and Taoism today.
If he wants to continue to break through and reach a higher level, he can only continue to climb to the "peak of power".
And to continue climbing, what is a more suitable way than assisting the Prince of the East Palace to inherit the throne, and what is a more suitable way of "power" than assisting an emperor.
Once the Prince of the East Palace ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Song Zhiwen instantly possessed the power of following the dragon.
This merit is the credit of Po Tian, and Song Zhiwen will be blessed by the power of the emperor's teacher, touching the threshold of the ninth-grade Confucian saint.
Unfortunately, the time has not come.
But Song Zhiwen is actually not in a hurry. He has been waiting for many years and has put a lot of effort into the Prince of the East Palace. But after waiting for so many years, there is no reason to be anxious at this last moment.
Over the years, he has climbed up the ladder, suppressing generals, weakening military power, training disciples, and firmly holding power in his own hands. This time, when he was about to be in danger, it was Song Zhiwen who turned the tide and destroyed the Demon Realm. The trouble of monsters in the southeastern sea has been basically eliminated.
He also formulated a marriage plan, quelled the turmoil of the Gu tribe, and held on until the barbarians gave up invading Dali.
All of this is the result of his painstaking efforts, and with the help of the national master's star-gazing ability, he calculated Fang Yi and let him stir up the world.
Although some of these things were not done by Song Zhiwen himself, many of them were secretly fueled by Song Zhiwen.
…
"Your Highness, it doesn't have to be like this." Song Zhiwen sighed at this time and said with relief: "With the Imperial Master here, His Majesty will definitely wake up again. This time, His Majesty may still test you. As long as you can pass this After just one test, maybe I will be completely approved by His Majesty, and it will be a matter of course for me to pass the throne to you."
"Master Song, I've been waiting for many years, I've been waiting for many years!!" Yun Wuji was as fragile as a child at this time. He looked up at Song Zhiwen, with tears streaming down his face: "Master Song, you have been here all along! Those around me have watched me grow up, so they should know how I got here all these years..."
Originally, this time his father's situation suddenly became so bad, which really made Yun Wuji feel overjoyed. He felt that his daughter-in-law for many years had finally become a mother-in-law and could ascend to the throne.
Unexpectedly, his father had no intention of passing the throne to him.
He summoned so many important ministers, saying that he was asking them to help him, but in fact, he secretly wanted these people to be witnesses for him.
Emperor Taiping wanted to entrust Gu Gu, not to pass on the throne, otherwise he would not have deliberately emphasized that they should continue to assist the Prince of the East Palace.
The father specifically emphasized his identity as the Prince of the East Palace! !
What can I do?
The throne belongs to the father. Even though he is the prince, so what?
If his father wanted to give it to him, then he would have to do it openly. But what if his father didn't want to give it to him? Now it seems that his father has no intention of passing the throne to him! !
Then what can I do, kill my father and kill my king? ?
Yun Wuji only thought about this idea for a moment, and then he strangled it to death in his mind.
My father was a master of imperial tricks. Maybe this sudden illness was a good show, staged for him.
What else?
Another way is to kill your own father.
But this is also very unrealistic.
The problem lies with the Imperial Preceptor. The Imperial Preceptor said that he still has a way to wake up his father sooner or later.
After all, my father only fainted and did not die.
So Yun Wuji has been in a bad mood these past few days.
Although he is still the prince overseeing the country, even though he handles all matters big and small in Dali personally.
He, the prince of the East Palace, is no different from the emperor of the current dynasty, but he is not the emperor after all.
This is the most critical.
…
At this moment, there was a sudden announcement outside the door.
"Your Royal Highness, the Imperial Master would like to see you." The guard outside the door said.
Yun Wuji immediately wiped away his tears, and then glanced at Song Zhiwen. Song Zhiwen immediately understood and said with a smile: "Restore this place to its original state!!"
With the added power of the words, this place instantly transformed into the clean and tidy scene before, as if nothing had ever happened.
Yun Wuji calmed down his emotions and said with a smile: "Please invite the Imperial Master to come in."
The moment the Imperial Master came in, he was slightly startled. He looked at the clean and tidy appearance of the Wuji Hall, and then looked at where Song Zhiwen was standing. He seemed to understand something and said directly: "It turns out that Song Daru is also here. here."
"How about Your Highness, I will come to see you later?" The Imperial Master was about to leave at this time.
But Song Zhiwen came to the Imperial Preceptor first and said, "Song was just catching up with His Highness the Crown Prince and talking about the past. Now that we have finished talking, we won't take up the Prince's time. What does the Imperial Preceptor have?" Let’s talk about it here.”
With that said, Song Zhiwen was already walking out the door. As he walked, he said, "I'll take my leave first."
When His Highness the Crown Prince was about to speak, Song Zhiwen said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, there is no need to be so polite. It's easy to talk to the Imperial Master."
With that said, Song Zhiwen left the room and closed the door.
"National Master, my father's condition has gotten better in recent days. How is it? When will my father wake up?" Yun Wuji immediately stepped forward, grabbed the Imperial Master, and asked.
Now that the Imperial Master found him, it was nothing more than this matter.
Some people died, but not completely...
