Qin Shaoyou didn't ask why, he was waiting quietly for Qin Qiaoer to talk.
Qin Qiaoer did not disappoint him and told him:
“The King of Shu’s invitation to buy people’s hearts did not just start in the past two years.
You should also know that His Majesty has no heirs, right? As His Majesty grew older, more rumors emerged, saying that His Majesty took a large amount of so-called elixirs in pursuit of immortality, which caused the accumulation of erysipelas and damaged his body, thus affecting his fertility.
As far as I know, the Demon Suppression Department once investigated the source of these rumors and found that they came from the palace.
No one knows who the specific source is. It could be the eunuchs or maids in the palace, or even... it could be His Majesty himself. "
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows.
There is a lot of information hidden in Sixth Sister's words.
But he didn't say anything because Qin Qiaoer continued to talk:
"After the rumor came out, some people were disdainful, but some people took it seriously, and among them was the King of Shu.
If Your Majesty never gives birth to an heir, he will have to choose a successor from among the vassal kings. The King of Shu was not ranked high among a group of vassal kings. In order to inherit the throne, he began to secretly bribe courtiers and support officials of his own faction many years ago.
The King of Shu always thought that the things he did were very secretive, but in fact, His Majesty knew every move he made. He also kept a small notebook to record all the courtiers and officials he bribed and supported. "
Speaking of this, Qin Qiaoer paused for a moment, remembered something, his expression suddenly became very serious, and he told Qin Shaoyou seriously:
"If you have the opportunity to meet His Majesty in the future, don't be deceived by his appearance of being obsessed with immortality and alchemy. Your Majesty is not only suspicious by nature, but also very deep in the city. He may not be very good at governing the country, but when it comes to power and the emperor's mind, But he is first-class. Anyone who thinks that he is addicted to cultivating immortals can be deceived, and the final outcome will be a miserable death!"
Qin Shaoyou nodded to express his understanding.
He used to think that Emperor Jianwu was not simple.
An emperor who practices immortality and elixir every day and can still control the government, even if he is a faint emperor, he is still a very capable emperor.
Now Sixth Sister's words confirmed his suspicion.
Seeing that her brother was obedient, Qin Qiaoer breathed a sigh of relief and continued the previous topic:
"Judging from the information currently available, His Majesty found the King of Shu and asked him to help test the elixir, probably after discovering his invitation to buy courtiers.
Do you think His Majesty really wants the King of Shu to help test the elixir, or is he using this incident, the death of the crown prince, to warn the King of Shu?
You know, since His Majesty began to seek immortality and medicine, many alchemists have volunteered, and there are not a few who are proficient in alchemy. Do they see any problems with the elixir?
Even if you can't tell that someone needs to test the elixir, why would you need to find a member of the royal family? There are many people on death row in the prison.
To put it bluntly, these elixirs are special and only work on people with royal blood. Can't they be used by ordinary people to travel? Do you have to be the prince of King Shu? Don’t you want to teach King Shu a lesson? "
After a pause, Qin Qiaoer warned seriously again: "You have to keep this matter in your stomach about trying the elixir, and don't tell anyone again, do you understand?"
"Understood." Qin Shaoyou nodded.
At the same time, he had already outlined the general situation of the whole matter in his mind:
Emperor Jianwu was good at strategizing and imperial thinking, and was used to controlling everything.
After he discovered that the King of Shu secretly established power in the court, he asked the King of Shu to help him test the elixir. He even gave the King of Shu some verbal promises. For example, he had no heirs. If the King of Shu was willing to help test the elixir, then in After he became an immortal and ascended, he made a will and handed over the throne to the King of Shu.
Of course the King of Shu was not stupid, but he was still tempted by the huge temptation of the throne.
Even if the chance is only one in a hundred or one in a thousand, it is enough for the King of Shu to take a chance.
Anyway, he was not the one who tried the elixir. If the prince is dead, what does it have to do with him, the King of Shu?
The eldest son is of course important, but in front of the throne, he is not enough!
As long as he can get the throne, let alone a prince, it doesn't matter if all his children die! Gu Sui
Anyway, he can give birth. After he becomes the emperor, he can have a dozen more children. He was not Emperor Jianwu. He would die every time he gave birth to a son.
Qin Shaoyou even suspected that among the counselors under King Shu, there were also people planted by Emperor Jianwu.
They helped Gong Huo in this matter, arousing the greed of the King of Shu, and made him agree to help test the elixir in exchange for Emperor Jianwu's 'support'.
As a result, the elixir can only make people return to heaven, but cannot make people become immortals.
Emperor Jianwu used this incident to give King Shu a warning: What I give you is yours. If I don’t give it to you, you can’t take it away!
Qin Shaoyou didn't know whether the King of Shu understood Emperor Jianwu's threat, but judging from the King of Shu's subsequent actions, he was obviously unwilling to do so.
It happened that the prince died suddenly and turned into a zombie again, so he thought of raising the corpse to become a demon.
It is estimated that in addition to using the Corpse Demon to pretend to be a god and fool Emperor Jianwu, he also wanted to cultivate a powerful Corpse Demon so that when Emperor Jianwu became popular, he could do something to help him seize power.
Something not to do in the sun!
As for bribing demons such as Spider Demon Lord, it is probably for similar reasons...
No, that's not right.
Qin Shaoyou suddenly felt a chill running down his back when he thought of this.
He felt that Emperor Jianwu's decision to let King Shu try the elixir might not just be a warning.
Emperor Jianwu used a big cake and a poison pill to make the King of Shu go further and further down the wrong path...
Even without Qin Shaoyou, the people from Yizhou Town Demon Division would definitely be able to find out about the prince of Shu turning into a corpse demon.
If these things are reported, Emperor Jianwu will be able to deal with the King of Shu in a logical manner. It would not cause other vassal kings to panic and give rise to thoughts of sorrow and chaos, which would lead to chaos. They would not let officials from the Shu king's line in the court come out to object.
After all, neither the court nor the clan would tolerate the fact that the prince turned into a corpse demon.
Therefore, whether this matter is a warning or an extermination, it all depends on the choice of the King of Shu.
If the King of Shu obediently accepted his fate after his son died, told Emperor Jianwu the truth, and restrained his behavior, then it would be a warning.
But the King of Shu didn't do that.
Driven by desire and ambition, he chose to hide the fact that the prince died suddenly and turned into a corpse.
From that moment on, King Shu's fate was destined to be a dead end!
The more he did, the more Emperor Jianwu hated him, and the more he had to die.
After thinking about these things, Qin Shaoyou felt a lot more at ease.
But he had another worry.
"What if the King of Shu takes the prince as a condition and asks for pardon?"
"Prince?" Qin Qiaoer was stunned and asked in surprise: "Where did the prince come from?"
Seeing Qin Qiaoer's reaction, Qin Shaoyou knew that she didn't know about 'Zhang Xiaoni'.
Originally, Qin Shaoyou thought that Qin Qiaoer's master was patrolling Yizhou to find 'Zhao Xiaoni' and Lao Zhangtou.
But now it seems that either he thought too much, or Qin Qiaoer's master didn't tell her this.
But now, I can talk about this matter.
The Sixth Sister is also a cautious person and will not spread this matter randomly. Moreover, she is good at looking for traces. Maybe she can find the whereabouts of Lao Zhangtou and 'Zhang Xiaoni'.
