Master Huiyan’s ambitions are very great.
The arson in Zhongnan Mountain this time was just a test.
Although the results were not as good as he imagined, Master Huiyan was not discouraged.
Because deep down he knew very well that the battle between Buddhism and the Academy in the Western Regions had just begun.
There is still a long way to go.
Therefore, Master Huiyan has actually made comprehensive preparations.
As long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely harass the academy as much as possible.
As long as he can harass the academy to a great extent, his goal will be achieved.
Because in Master Huiyan's view, apart from Taoism, the academy is the one that can pose a great threat to Buddhism in the Western Regions.
So he must ensure that he can achieve perfection in handling details.
This is not something impossible to do.
In fact, Master Huiyan has always been good at making fuss about details.
What's more, now that part of the academy's energy has been diverted by the Shadow Clan and the Corruptors, Master Huiyan can more easily deploy his power.
From his point of view, everything is under control so far.
The whole process wasn't very stressful, and overall he was able to do it with ease.
Of course, Master Huiyan had to deal with not only the academy, but also the disputes in the court.
In fact, he was very disgusted with being involved in this dispute at the beginning.
But over time, Master Huiyan adapted to it.
Because he found that in a place of right and wrong like Chang'an, it was impossible to truly avoid these disputes.
Rather than letting yourself be in a state of struggle, pain, and entanglement all the time, it is better to accept it calmly from the beginning.
In this case, the so-called pressure will be reduced a lot.
At this stage, Emperor Xianlong has indeed become easier to control.
In the past, Emperor Xianlong was somewhat wary of Master Huiyan, but recently, Master Huiyan could clearly feel that Emperor Xianlong was becoming less and less wary.
This is a very good signal.
From Master Huiyan’s perspective, this means that he can have a richer operating space in the future.
He can use it no matter what method he wants to use.
Emperor Xianlong is currently at the mercy of others like a puppet.
This is definitely great news for Master Huiyan.
As long as Master Huiyan can ensure his control over Emperor Xianlong for a long time, then the rise of Buddhism in the Western Regions in the Central Plains will be a matter of time.
Master Huiyan had imagined the scene when Buddhism in the Western Regions was at its peak in the Central Plains when he was in the Western Regions, but he did not expect that all this would happen so quickly.
It can be said that this is the situation he most hopes to see.
Once Buddhism in the Western Regions can stand firm and become the face of the Central Plains, Master Huiyan will have no regrets in his life.
But for now, there is still a long way to go to achieve this effect.
Master Huiyan did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Because he knew that if he acted too presumptuously, he might arouse Emperor Xianlong's vigilance.
At this stage, Emperor Xianlong obeyed his advice.
But if Emperor Xianlong suddenly wakes up, Master Huiyan still feels that there is some risk.
Therefore, Master Huiyan has to further advance in his own way.
Only by constantly boiling frogs in warm water can Emperor Xianlong be cooked unknowingly.
After all, Emperor Xianlong was the king of a country and had a lot of experience.
Therefore, Master Huiyan must not reveal any flaws.
Whenever he showed any flaws, he would be easily caught by Emperor Xianlong.
In that case, he would have failed.
As for the battle with the academy, it requires constant grinding.
As long as you can continue to grind it, you will definitely be able to achieve a good effect.
...
...
Cen Wendao's injury is actually almost healed.
The original injury was actually to the left scapula, which was not a serious injury.
So if you rest for a period of time, you can reach a good state.
The reason why Cen Wendao did not plan to go to court every day was because he wanted to keep this storm going for as long as possible.
As long as it can be brewed successfully, the final effect will be very good.
Prince Li Xiankun is currently in a state of fear and panic, right?
When he thought of this, Cen Wendao felt a burst of joy in his heart.
This can't be regarded as a villain's success.
Because Cen Wendao's goal has always been to remove the prince.
In order to achieve this goal, Cen Wendao actually made a lot of efforts.
However, due to various reasons, this goal has never been truly achieved.
But Cen Wendao never gave up, but kept trying hard.
Finally he found a chance.
This opportunity is actually not as good as imagined, but the effect achieved is still very good.
Since then, Cen Wendao has become more confident.
As long as he tastes the sweetness, he will continue on without hesitation.
For Cen Wendao, this is not a big deal. As long as he can continue to persevere, then the East Palace will definitely be destroyed.
As the leader of the Qi King's Party, Cen Wendao knows that he has a heavy responsibility.
As long as he can set an example, other members of the Qi King's Party will definitely follow suit.
As long as the Qi King's party can be twisted into a rope, even the mountain of the East Palace will not be able to stop them.
Cen Wendao has always had a dream, that is, to be the prime minister.
The prime minister can be said to be a very human minister, one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
That feeling can be said to be unparalleled.
In order to become the prime minister, Cen Wendao must have the skill of following the dragon.
Once the emperor and his ministers, this is something everyone understands.
Therefore, Cen Wendao had to help King Qi to the throne no matter what.
As long as King Qi can inherit the throne, Cen Wendao's position as prime minister will be within his grasp.
This can be said to be an exchange of interests or a kind of cooperation.
The King of Qi is the king, and Cen Wendao is the minister.
But the relationship between them is not a simple relationship between monarch and minister, but a relationship bound by interests.
In other words, they are people in the same boat, both prospering and losing.
That's why King Qi was able to rest assured of Cen Wendao and leave all major and minor decisions to him.
It was through this kind of experience that Cen Wendao achieved a fairly good effect.
This will further encourage him to carry out his previous plan.
There is definitely no way to relax until the last minute.
After all, the East Palace is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The members of the princeling party are even more powerful than the Qi royal party.
It's nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
Generally speaking, Dong Palace's chance of winning is higher than that of King Qi.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that more courtiers are optimistic about the East Palace.
But Cen Wendao will not be emotionally affected by this.
Because he has made up his mind and made up his mind.
So nothing is enough to disturb him.
He will continue to cultivate in the house for a while before starting the next plan.
From the current point of view, everything is going extremely smoothly, and the arrogance of the East Palace has been completely suppressed.
Next, Cen Wendao only needs to quietly perform.
He wanted to see how long Dong Palace could last.
...
...
It can be said that Prince Li Xiankun's days were like years, and it was very difficult.
He didn't expect the situation to change so quickly.
The Qi King's party's offensive was so fierce.
Everything was beyond the expectations of Prince Li Xiankun.
It can be said that the King of Qi Party is really shameless.
But what can Prince Li Xiankun do?
He still can't do anything.
If he exerts a little too much force at this moment, someone will definitely take advantage of him and make a big fuss.
This is not the situation that Prince Li Xiankun wants to see.
For him, keeping a low profile as much as possible at this time is key.
Feng Hao had already told him that no matter what happened, he should endure it as much as possible.
Even if the tooth is broken, it still has to be swallowed.
He is the prince, so as long as he doesn't make any obvious mistakes, his father has no way to depose him.
Although Prince Li Xiankun felt very aggrieved, under the current situation, he could only endure it so much.
But Prince Li Xiankun actually had a plan to collect evidence of King Qi's crime.
Although there is no way to shake it out at this time, it is not difficult to settle accounts after autumn.
The fight for the throne has reached this point, and it can be said that it will never end.
Prince Li Xiankun knew that the fight between him and King Qi could not be resolved.
So he also prepared for the worst.
Even if it finally comes to that point, Prince Li Xiankun is fully prepared to face the challenge.
The number of disciples he supports is several thousand, and with the number of people in the East Palace Liuli, there is no problem if it exceeds 10,000 people.
Ten thousand soldiers and horses in Chang'an City were enough for him to launch a palace coup.
As long as Prince Li Xiankun can lead his troops into the palace as soon as possible, control his father, and hold the emperor hostage to command the ministers, then there is no fear that civil and military officials will not accept the new king.
As soon as Prince Li Xiankun ascends the throne, everything will be settled.
As a prince, he was born with legal authority.
His succession was a matter of course.
No matter what kind of crisis he faces, Prince Li Xiankun himself cannot panic.
King Qi?
Who is King Qi?
He can't even be considered the heir to the throne.
If the prince is the second in line of succession, then his son is the third in line of succession.
Therefore, at this stage, Prince Li Xiankun must control his emotions as much as possible, and must not be disturbed by King Qi's provocation.
This would be tantamount to playing into King Qi's hands.
Of course, in addition to being worried about King Qi, Prince Li Xiankun also had to worry about Master Huiyan.
This old bald donkey is not a good person, and it would be unthinkable if he were to plot against him.
Therefore, Prince Li Xiankun had to devote part of his energy to deal with Master Huiyan.
Alas, the current situation is difficult, and Prince Li Xiankun can only be cautious and take one step at a time.
...
...
"I'm really angry to death. The prince has been shrinking his head in recent days, staying in the East Palace all day long. What should I do?"
In the palace of Prince Qi, Prince Li Xiang of Qi was furious.
He never expected that Prince Li Xiankun would be so willing to give in.
The prince did not go out all day, so Qi King Li Xiang had no reason to plot against the prince.
Although his father has hinted that he can attack the East Palace, there must always be a reason for everything.
If you bite like crazy without any reason, isn't that just like a wild dog?
King Qi Li Xiang also wants to have face. He will definitely not do such a thing like a wild dog.
This moment was indeed very difficult for King Qi.
Because no matter what he chooses, he will definitely be criticized.
In this case, Qi King Li Xiang can be said to be in a dilemma.
If he chooses to attack the East Palace at this time, he will definitely make people gossip and probably make him look embarrassed.
But if he didn't criticize the prince, he would feel uncomfortable.
After all, this opportunity was obtained by Mr. Cenwen Daocen through his own trick.
If King Qi couldn't even seize this opportunity, how could he be worthy of Cen Wendao's hard work?
King Qi Li Xiang felt extremely confused.
"Father, please calm down."
At this time, Li Jianye, the eldest son of Prince Qi, answered: "Actually, things are not so bad that they are out of control. As long as we are willing, we can still create some trouble for the East Palace."
"Oh? Tell me."
Qi Wang Li Xiang squinted his eyes slightly, obviously very interested.
Regardless of the method at this time, as long as it can create trouble for the prince, it is a good method in his opinion.
"Father, think about it, if someone in the court reacts, wouldn't it bring this pool of stagnant water back to life?"
"Reverse? Do you mean to let the members of King Qi's party rebel against the princelings, behave as princelings, and do some ridiculous things?"
"My father is wise."
Li Jianye, the crown prince of Qi, did not hesitate to flatter him and said: "If this happens, the prince will be a mute eating Coptis chinensis and unable to tell the story of his sufferings. Even though Grandpa Huang knows it well when we do this, he will not do it." What to say. Because Grandpa Huang wants to suppress Donggong. No matter what method we use, as long as it can have the effect of suppressing Donggong, Grandpa Huang will agree. Even if he doesn’t express his support, It must be tacit approval.”
It has to be said that Li Jianye's words can be said to have touched the heart of Qi King Li Xiang.
"Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle. My son has really grown up."
At this time, King Qi Li Xiang said with emotion: "In this case, I will do as you said. I will immediately write a letter and ask someone to send it to Master Cen, and ask Master Cen to arrange this matter."
