However, he still doesn't know what use those four big demons have to the old emperor, and if the power in his hands expands too fast, it will definitely arouse his fear.
Therefore, this matter still needs to be considered in the long term. It is best to wait until the old emperor is dead before taking action.

Prince Qi's Mansion.
Famous gardens with green water, green pavilions and green pavilions. In late spring, the ponds and springs are clear and pleasant. There is a kind of poetry and vitality. When people walk among them, the flowers are born between the clothes and the fragrance is subtle.
King Li Nian of Qi was sitting in front of the court, looking at the red peach and red apricot not far away. When they bloomed, they were red and white, reflected on the water. But at this time, he had no intention of watching, his brows were furrowed, and he was momentarily confused. Like hemp.
Not long after, a middle-aged scribe came around the flower wall, wearing a feather fan and a turban. He was neither hurried nor slow, showing the demeanor of a distinguished scholar.
"Sir is here,"
Li Nian turned around. Under the setting sun, his facial features were sharp and angular, and his brows were filled with purple energy. He looked very wealthy and prosperous. His gray hair was mixed with dots of jet black, making him look quite aged.
"Your Majesty,"
The middle-aged scribe shook his feather fan and said with a calm expression, "But are you worried about His Majesty suddenly appointing the mirror master of Xuanjing Division?" "Yes," Li Nian nodded and rubbed the crank in his hand, which resembled a dragon and snake. Swimming in the texture, he said slowly, "When I met him in Qingzhou, I thought he was unusual. I tried to win over him at first, but failed. But I didn't expect that when he returned to the capital, he would be attacked by his father. The emperor places such great importance on me, I would have known earlier..."
Speaking of this, his words were full of regret.
After a pause, Li Nian continued, "Now that he has a high position of power, even I, the King, will find it difficult to offer him a bargaining chip."
Although Li Nian didn't reveal it clearly, the middle-aged scribe knew that even before, it was difficult for His Highness King Qi to win over him, and everything was just a humble resignation.
"It doesn't matter. Although His Highness did not win over him, he also showed his goodwill. I think the Imperial Master also knows it very well."
The middle-aged scribe first comforted him, then changed the subject, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "But I still say that, what happens in this world is ultimately up to His Majesty. In the past two years, His Majesty's thoughts have been But it’s a little different than before.”
"You mean?" Li Nian's eyes flashed, thinking of his father's various actions in recent years, he understood in his heart that there is no smoke without fire.
"This time, His Majesty asked the Imperial Master to take over as the Mirror Master of the Xuanjing Division. The first reason is to test His Highness and the Crown Prince to see who can't calm down and take action first."
"Secondly, it is also to ease the conflicts in the court and divert attention."
Then, the middle-aged scribe's expression became more solemn and he said, "In my opinion, Your Highness should wait and see what happens. If you can't feel His Majesty's pulse, don't act rashly."
"At this time, it is better to be still than to move."
"Huh~" Li Nian let out a long breath, his eyes full of struggle. In fact, he was already impatient. Seeing that the hope of ascending to the throne of God was getting slimmer and slimmer, and that so many years of hard work would be in vain, he was unwilling to accept it.
The battle for the throne is a life-and-death battle!
If he loses, he will definitely not end well. At that time, he, his relatives, and his subordinates will all be implicated. Even this is a minor matter.
Maybe his good brother thought of some way to torture him.
When he thought of this, the gloom in his eyes deepened, and then he raised his head, looked at the middle-aged scribe, and said word by word, "This is the way to die. He can wait, but I can't wait!"
He can advance and retreat freely, to put it lightly, but for him, there is no room for retreat!
Besides, it’s not like he has no chance of winning!
For a moment, the middle-aged scribes fell silent. In fact, at this point, all the chips in their hands were almost gone. There is only one way left, rebellion.
However, as a Confucian disciple, he still subconsciously rejected rebellion. Moreover, throughout the ages, there have been too few princes who have successfully rebelled. Although, in his opinion, His Highness Prince Qi is somewhat similar to Tang Taizong, the gap between them is really too big.
The King of Qi has always been very close to the people in the army, but when it comes to rebellion, how many people will support him?
Therefore, he did not speak. Unexpectedly, His Highness actually made it clear directly.
“It’s still unclear who will win!”
Li Nian on the side ignored him, but kept chewing on these four words, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, which was very penetrating.

The land of Southern Xinjiang has always been a mixture of dragons and snakes, with many forces.
In this land, there are three most powerful sects, one is the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, one is the Beast Control Sect, and the other is Yunding Tiangong.
Among them, Yunding Tiangong was created by an outstanding disciple of the Kunlun Taoist sect. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a profound foundation. In addition, it originated from the Kunlun Taoist sect. It is easy to enjoy the shade under the big trees. For hundreds of years, it has been a southern attraction. The uncrowned king of the territory.
The sect of the Yunding Heavenly Palace is located on a large spiritual vein, which handles a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Among the mountains, there are mountains that are like lotus flowers, naturally formed, with peaks like snow, purple water sloping back, and green clouds like a canopy. The sun and the moon are swallowed up by the forest and chenxiang, reflecting the white crane at the same height, making the blue sky one color.
When you are in it, you will find that the mountains are full of Ganoderma lucidum, strange trees, sparse forests and paintings, waterfalls and springs. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of cranes and cicadas, the sound of flutes, and the auspicious light and color, unlike the ordinary world.
And in the center of the lotus, there is a majestic heavenly palace with cornices and corners, resplendent in gold and green. Threads of auspicious light hang down from the sky, turning into thousands of golden lanterns, hanging around, with flying clouds and flowing colors, shining brightly.
In the heavenly palace, the figures of monks are going back and forth, some are meditating, some are drinking wine, or they are singing the harp and harp, looking from a distance, they look like immortals.
Suddenly, a strange and unpleasant sound came from the void, screaming and wailing, extremely sad. Then, the sound got higher and higher, and the higher it got, the thinner it became. In the end, it was inaudible, but it was thin and continuous, and the lingering sound curled up to the sky. Go down and hear everything.
It is like a Sanskrit sound, but also like a call from the Nine Nether Hells, which makes people unable to help but indulge in it. Even the mountain protection formation of Yunding Tiangong cannot block the transmission of the magic sound.
"what sound?"
Suddenly, the monks in the Yunding Heavenly Palace heard it, and their initial feeling was like the sound of swords, killing each other.
At this moment, even the Taoist formulas they had practiced had lost their ability to calm the mind and focus. In just an instant, many people were distracted and their blood began to boil.
Little did they know, wisps of demonic energy appeared on their faces, like small snakes, hissing and snarling, and terrifying, and deep in their souls, pitch-black demonic species were slowly taking shape.
In Yunding Heavenly Palace, only some disciples and monks with advanced cultivation are still struggling to resist, but they cannot hold on for long.
Suddenly, the magic sound suddenly changed, from being like a beautiful lady singing softly to soft words, making people feel excited and addicted to love. Then it was like an immortal preaching a sermon, with each word containing the true meaning of the great truth, which made people enlightened. It was as if the mysteries of the great avenue were placed in front of them, and they could understand and touch them as long as they came into contact with them. Almost no monk can resist such temptation.
As the true meaning of the great avenue flows in their hearts, the same demon seeds are quietly taking shape in their souls.
