Buzz!
Liu Lai looked straight at Zhao Ping, his head buzzing.
Palace of Eternal Life.
The most secretive organization in the entire Dawei Dynasty.
Take him for example.
The dignified Minister of Household Affairs, a second-rank official, could not find any clues about the Palace of Eternal Life.
Not to mention the specific location of the Palace of Eternal Life.
He didn't even know who the members of the Eternal Life Palace were.
Similar to Gu Tianhe, he only knew that there were divine envoys and divine beings in the Eternal Life Palace.
After that, nothing is known.
"It seems you don't know either."
Zhao Ping sneered and said: "So, you are just a pawn of the Palace of Eternal Life, cannon fodder that can be used to die at any time."
"Pitiful."
"I……"
Liu Lai was choked.
"Do you want to ask me how I know about the Palace of Eternal Life?"
Zhao Ping continued: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, because I know one of the divine envoys."
"No way, this is absolutely impossible."
Liu Lai kept shaking his head, "The divine envoy has a transcendent status in the Palace of Eternal Life. How could you, a mere commoner, know the divine envoy? I don't believe it."
"Because I can make acacia wine."
Zhao Ping said nonsense: "You should have drunk acacia wine, and you should know the charm of this kind of wine."
"As for those who like wine, I'm afraid no one can resist its temptation."
"God's messenger is also a human being, and he also likes wine."
"So, I became friends with him."
"Then he told me that you are a member of the Eternal Life Palace and are helping the Eternal Life Palace plan rebellion."
Liu Lai listened quietly without saying anything, but he was constantly thinking about the authenticity of this matter.
Mostly false.
After all, the envoy who often contacted him did not assign him a rebellion mission.
One of the tasks given to him was to kill Zhao Ping.
Now Zhao Ping has become friends with the God Envoy, which is really unbelievable.
But what if?
Liu Lai also drank acacia wine and knew that it was not an ordinary wine.
After one sip, if you go to drink other wine, you will feel bland and tasteless.
If you drink acacia wine for a long time, I am afraid that other wines will become difficult to swallow.
It is not impossible for Zhao Ping to borrow the acacia wine to become friends with the God Envoy.
What's more, the last time I met the envoy of God.
The divine envoy once said that the Lord God is studying the recipe of acacia wine.
How to research?
Naturally, it is inseparable from acacia wine.
The amount of Acacia wine that Xu Tianhua brought back to the capital was so much that it was snatched up by many ministers and dignitaries in the capital.
Although it is said that I bought it for the sake of the emperor.
But in reality?
Isn't it because of greed?
Isn't it because you want to taste the acacia wine, learn its recipe, and replace it?
But is acacia wine really that easy to study?
It's been so long, maybe there's still no result, right?
Otherwise, the ministers of the DPRK and China would not send people to Xiping Village to discuss cooperation with Zhao Ping.
If cooperation fails, force will be used to solve the problem.
If he, Liu Lai, could think of these methods, would the God of the Eternal Life Palace not think of them?
Maybe people have reached some kind of consensus.
Liu Lai hesitated, not knowing whether to believe Zhao Ping's words.
"Still not convinced?"
Zhao Ping sneered: "Then I will tell you one more thing."
"Do you know why Your Majesty left Beijing?"
"Isn't it because banditry is serious in Yuzhou that Your Majesty wants to personally lead the army to suppress the bandits?"
Liu Lai asked back.
"Of course not."
Zhao Ping shook his head, "Isn't it possible that the King of Yuzhou can't handle the banditry?"
"Even if the King of Yuzhou doesn't have that ability, can't His Majesty appoint other state pastors to help?"
"For example, Qingzhou."
"There are no bandits in Qingzhou now, which shows the abilities of Chen Xinghe and Mu Shangwu. If they are dispatched to Yuzhou, the banditry problem in Yuzhou can be solved."
"But His Majesty has left Beijing."
"Why?"
Liu Lai couldn't help but ask.
"Because Chen Tong, the king of Yuzhou, rebelled."
Zhao Ping said: "On the surface, His Majesty led the troops to suppress bandits, but in fact he was quelling chaos."
"this……"
Liu Lai was stunned.
rebel.
This is what these officials in the capital have been planning.
But no one implemented it.
Even if Queen Hao Runxiang instigated the prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, she would first publicize the news of his death.
A country cannot be without a king for a day and then hold a coronation ceremony.
As for other forces, they have always been doing it secretly.
Look at Chen Tong, he immediately rebelled.
Be one step ahead of them.
its not right.
His Majesty left Beijing without arranging any government affairs.
When there is an urgent memorial in the court, it usually requires three bachelors to discuss it together, and then send someone to Yuzhou to ask His Majesty Chen Xuan to make a decision.
This side represents that the jade seal is in the hands of His Majesty.
Rebellion, ascension to the throne, and proclaiming emperor are all inseparable from the jade seal.
Otherwise, even if it succeeds, it will not be orthodox.
Your Majesty is in Yuzhou, and Yuxi is also in Yuzhou.
The troops carried by His Majesty are only 20,000 regular soldiers, and the rest are composed of refugees and beggars.
Can these people resist Chen Tong, the king of Yuzhou?
If the jade seal is obtained by Chen Tong, the world will probably become the king of Yuzhou.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed Liu Lai felt.
Not only did he spread the news that the prince was not his majesty's biological son, he also sent people to assassinate Liu Dingbei and his majesty.
He was so busy, just hoping to see chaos in the court, so that he could benefit from it.
The results of it?
He was actually making wedding clothes for others.
Zhao Ping asked again: "Do you know why Chen Tong, the king of Yuzhou, rebelled?"
"Why?"
Liu Lai was indeed curious.
Chen Tong is the younger brother of Your Majesty's first wife, and His Majesty loves him very much. Chen Tong has no reason to rebel.
"Because all this was done by God's messengers."
Zhao Ping said: "The king of Yuzhou, Chen Tong, has a subordinate who is the envoy of the Palace of Eternal Life."
"His only purpose in staying with Chen Tong was to bring Yuzhou into chaos."
"Such as squeezing the common people, defending corrupt officials, robbing women of the people, raising taxes, distant ministers, and close relatives, etc., were all ideas given to Chen Tong by the gods. This led to the people in Yuzhou being in dire straits. Yi Zi A situation of cannibalism.”
"There is also only one purpose, to turn Yuzhou into a human hell."
"Just like some time ago, banditry broke out all over Yuzhou, the people complained, and there were countless people who fled."
"Then there will be members of the Changsheng Palace here in the capital to encourage His Majesty to go to Yuzhou to quell the banditry."
"Once His Majesty leaves the capital, a divine messenger will find you and ask you to spread the news that the Prince is not His Majesty's biological son."
"As soon as this news comes out, the capital will be in chaos."
"At the same time, I will instruct you to dispatch secret assassins to assassinate Liu Dingbei."
"Once Liu Dingbei is killed, the capital will be pacified very quickly."
"When you excitedly sit on the throne, the Palace of Eternal Life will stand up."
"When that day comes, will you give way? Or will you resolutely resist?"
"I……"
Liu Lai was asked again.
His thoughts have been following the story line Zhao Ping told.
The whole story was connected together, and I already believed Zhao Ping's words.
Originally Liu Lai also had his own plans.
According to the assignment from the Changsheng Palace, he is also making his own plans.
In his opinion, as long as he wins the throne, not even the Palace of Eternal Life can do anything to him.
Even after he secures that position, he can mobilize the entire dynasty to search for the location of the Palace of Eternal Life and catch them all in order to avenge the humiliation and hatred they have been coerced over the years.
However, despite all the calculations, I still can't get past the Palace of Eternal Life.
I only think about the fact that the fisherman will benefit.
Unexpectedly, the real oriole is actually the Palace of Eternal Life, which has been decorated since I don’t know when.
"Bang!"
Zhao Ping took out a token from his arms and threw it to the ground.
He said coldly: "Liu Lai, open your dog eyes and see, what is this?"
"Token?"
Liu Lai picked it up, looked at it carefully, and immediately became trembling.
Even his speaking voice was trembling.
"God's order."
"You, you, why, how come you have a divine order in your hand?"
"Of course it was given to me by the God Envoy."
Zhao Ping said proudly: "Although I have not joined the Palace of Eternal Life, I have a close relationship with the Divine Envoy. He asked me to come to the capital to test you."
"As expected, you really have the idea of ascending to the throne and proclaiming yourself emperor, just as the envoy thought."
"Young ones don't dare."
Liu Lai immediately knelt down on the ground and hurriedly explained: "I just don't know that you are a friend of the Lord God Envoy. I saw that you have the Shangfang Sword in your hand, so I want to recruit you to join the army and plan big things with me."
"According to my plan, when the big thing first comes true, I will chop off your head."
"As for the throne, I definitely don't dare to ask for it."
"I will definitely hold the jade seal and wait for the arrival of the god."
"In the entire Dawei Dynasty, if we say who is the most qualified to be the emperor, it must be Lord Shen Zun."
"He is the key figure who saves all people from fire and water."
"Sir, you must plead with the God Envoy on my behalf. I really only have one heart and one mind for the Palace of Eternal Life. I have no other intention."
"It's not impossible if you want me to intercede for you."
Zhao Ping said indifferently: "You must give me the evidence in your hands. Only with those things can you prove that you sincerely seek refuge in the Palace of Eternal Life."
"Are you willing?"
