Main text Chapter 668 Gaining power and selling roots is shameful



Among the ministers who failed to achieve their goals, Zhang Lian, Tian Youqing, and Ding Wang were very close. It could be seen that the expressions of the three of them were a little dazed, as if they had not fully recovered from what happened in the palace. Come to your senses.

Suddenly, Zhang Lian sighed and said: "It's not easy. As soon as the emperor woke up today, he immediately destroyed our advantage and destroyed it. Then he took the opportunity to directly cut off many wishes. This The methods can be described as exquisite..."

"That's the problem!" Beside him, King Ding showed a slightly frustrated look, "How could the emperor be so courageous in the past? Even with such great wisdom, it is impossible to display it easily. He will definitely have many worries. How come he is so courageous today? Is it so simple?" As he went on to say it, his voice became quieter, not just complaining, but rather revealing a secret.

Speaking later, he stared into Zhang Lian's eyes and said softly: "Could it be that someone borrowed a corpse to resurrect the soul? This made the emperor's temperament change? You two should know very well that the people behind us are so powerful, how can we do this? wrong?"

As soon as he said this, Tian Youqing's pupils immediately dilated, while Zhang Lian's expression changed drastically and he whispered: "Your Highness, Prince Ding, please be careful what you say!"

"Don't worry," King Ding showed a ferocious smile, "You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. The big shot behind me also knows your situation very well. We are all pawns. It's easy to talk in ordinary times, but now it's critical. This is the time to unite sincerely, we can no longer fight on our own!”

Zhang Lian's expression was uncertain. He did not expect that King Ding would know about his affairs, nor did he expect that the person behind the other party would inform King Ding of this.

Speaking of which, what Zhang Lian just said was not to reveal his family background, but to use words to make the two people around him feel the same hatred.

but……

"Is this Tian Youqing also a chess piece of the People from Beyond the World? It's certain that King Ding is the chess piece of the People from Beyond the World. Many things in his past have been revealed..." After thinking about it, Zhang Lian suddenly had an idea, "That's not right. , Not necessarily!”

As soon as the thought came to his mind, he withdrew his gaze and glanced at King Ding again. What he saw was Zhang's furious face. From those eyes, he read a bit of the meaning of burning the boat.

"I can tell from King Ding's words and deeds that he is a chess piece of someone from outside the world. He may not be able to see my position, and there is no guarantee that his current behavior is not to stimulate my hatred and take advantage of it. , after all, a prince should not be so unsure, but this Tian Youqing, who is not showy or show off, suddenly comes to force the palace. He has always been favored by the emperor in the New Party. If the emperor has an accident and the throne is changed, he will be replaced. It’s not good for him, but he still came to participate..."

Thinking in his heart, Zhang Lian remained calm on the surface and said at the same time: "The so-called resurrecting the soul through the corpse is still possible in other places. But it is difficult to take shape in the palace. In my opinion, if there is no one to point out the emperor, it is him. I used to deliberately pretend, no matter what the possibility is, it cannot be ignored..."

"When you are in the palace, your soul can be taken away, so what does it mean if you borrow a corpse to bring it back to life..." Prince Ding seemed to be unwilling to accept it, and whispered, if the emperor was really brought back to life, once it was revealed, he would immediately take advantage of the situation, and he was naturally concerned. .

However, as soon as his voice fell, another voice came -

"With superb abilities, soul-stirring can be created in an instant, and the cause and effect is only instantaneous. But to revive a corpse, you need to continue to cast spells. The cause and effect are continuous, how can you do it easily? King Ding, as a member of the royal family, you are the person with magical powers. It’s just a lackey, why can’t you find out these things clearly? Even if you are a lackey, you are a bit incompetent.”

"Who?"

Hearing this, King Ding was angry at first, and then shocked. He lowered his voice when he said this to Zhang Lian. Although he was not afraid of others hearing, the meaning revealed in these words was very dangerous. In shock, When I turned around and looked back, I saw a blurry figure!

Someone was charging towards him. The speed was too fast and his figure was a little blurry. When King Ding looked again, he finally saw that it was Qiu Yan.

"It's you!" When he saw Qiu Yan, King Ding immediately became furious. He couldn't do anything to the emperor, but he asked himself that he was still a deterrent to ministers like Qiu Yan, but he was called a lackey by the other party. How could he do it? Not angry?

Tian Youqing, on the other hand, looked calm and was not surprised when he looked at Qiu Yan. He said calmly: "Qiu Yan? What do you mean by this? If you slander a minister for no reason, if you are impeached, don't blame others if you abandon your official position!"

On the side, Zhang Lian's entry point was different, and he heard him say: "Scholar Qiu, you just rushed in one step, using what seemed to be a magical method. You dare to be so unscrupulous on the edge of the palace. You can be described as crazy. That's it." , I can punish you for being evil! How dare you shamelessly insult the prince and ministers? "

The movement here quickly alerted the people around him. Many ministers and royal relatives cast their eyes over. They had different expressions when they saw Qiu Yan, but they did not surround him.

Qiu Yan, who was in the spotlight, didn't show any signs of strangeness. He glanced at the faces of Zhang Lian and the other three, shook his head and said: "You don't need to accuse me with words, as if I said something to you, making you angry and wanting to bring me to justice." , Qiu knows what your goal is today, but you should not regard Qiu as a stepping stone to achieve your goal. It seems that you don't take Qiu seriously at all. , only the Human Emperor is in his eyes..."

"Who do you think you are?" King Ding could not hold back his anger for a long time. After hearing Qiu Yan's words, he sneered, but he still remembered to lower his voice, "Don't think that you are really a person after you have made meritorious service and gained fame. From the perspective of those who are truly in power, you are nothing!”

"Is that why you act without any scruples?" Qiu Yan was not frightened by King Ding's words, but showed a little regret, "However, you think you are powerful and occupy a high position, and you can just think about it with a single thought. You can decide the life and death of others, but the foundation of this kind of power is the people of Donghua continent. You do not think about the kindness of the people, but instead act as pawns for the invasion of aliens and endanger the foundation of Donghua. Such behavior is really shameful. !”

"What did you say?" King Ding put away his anger at this time, narrowed his eyes, and showed a sense of dignity. If ordinary people saw this, they would naturally feel pressure in their hearts, but Qiu Yan seemed unaware.

Not only was he not calmed down by King Ding, Qiu Yan even said with sincerity: "Those who are traveling overseas and spend a lot of money outside, scheming at the top, and doing civil work at the bottom will perish. Since you are the ministers and princes of Darui, so When Darui gains power, you should really think about Darui. Don’t make the mistake of destroying the nest, otherwise Qiu will make you regret it first without waiting for the retribution!”

After saying this, Qiu Yan ignored the ugly looks on the three people's faces, stepped forward, and left with a long stride.

"Making us regret it? What a loud tone! Who does he think he is? How dare he slander us as overseas Chinese!" After recalling Qiu Yan's words, King Ding and others looked unhappy. The meaning of those words was actually very simple. , is an article from Legalism, which talks about foreign expatriates who leave money and heavy objects abroad, who are able to participate in state secrets at higher levels and interfere in people's affairs at lower levels. Such a country may perish. Such people will naturally He is not a good person either. He is powerful at the time, but often remains infamy throughout the ages.

The people living outside here undoubtedly refer to the people who have become the pawns of the outside world, and the "heavy money outside" does not refer to money, but that they want to rely on external forces to gain power and benefits.

It sounded particularly harsh in the ears of the three of them.

"Does Qiu Yan have a desire for revenge? This is ridiculous! He thinks that a fifth-grade official can deal with us? Even if the emperor looks at him differently, it's useless!" King Ding's eyes flashed with coldness, as if he was planning something.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to trouble you," Tian Youqing sneered at this time, with a confident demeanor, "Although things in the palace this time are somewhat unexpected, Qiu Yan is still doomed!"

"Oh?" Zhang Lian's eyes changed and he nodded slightly, "It must be Shi Lang Tian who has arrangements and backup plans. It's really a clever plan."

"I can't talk about clever plans, but..." Tian Youqing smiled slightly and was about to say something else, but a voice came out unexpectedly -

"By the way, the few people sent by Mr. Tian to Qiu's new residence are in a bad situation. I hope you don't have any excuses for them to know..." If the owner of the voice is not Qiu Yan, who is it?

The three of them followed the sound and could no longer see Qiu Yan. The words seemed to be carried by the wind.

"Shilang Tian, ​​this matter..."

Zhang Lian frowned and turned to look at Tian Youqing. He had had several contacts with Tian Youqing in the past, but the two parties often broke up unhappily due to their differences in status and stance. But this time it was different. One line.

"It's okay." Tian Youqing's face became even more ugly, but he was still calm, "Tian knows what's going on."

………………

While the three of them were talking, a dispute was going on in the study room of Qiu Yan's new house.

"Brother! Isn't it a God-given opportunity to have such a mysterious thing in Bachelor Qiu's house? Just by looking at it, brother felt that the second soul was faintly moving, and maybe it could be condensed! This thing is by no means simple, it cannot be Hand it over!"

The person who spoke was a man wearing servant clothes. He looked about twenty years old. There were two people beside him, similarly dressed, but both were older than him. One was strong and the other was thin.

The strong man shook his head and said: "That's not right. You should be moral when accepting Wu Tuo's money. Besides, he wouldn't know about such a precious thing? The reason why he didn't mention it is to test us. Don't be fooled." "

The thin man frowned: "The situation in this study is also very strange. Such precious things are casually spread out on the table. Is this a deliberate temptation?"

While talking, the three people's eyes fell on the calligraphy spread out on the desk at the same time——

Blood prison! (To be continued...)
