Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 416 Who plays the leading role?

"You guys can discuss it yourselves." Xue Mu looked at her little appearance and it was really funny, but he really didn't have time to bother with this issue. Eunuch Li's side was the business: "Let everyone go out, including Gu Ying."

"Be good, how about we be junior sisters for a day?" Xiao Qingwu smiled and took Wei Ye's little hand, and went out after discussing it. This proposal made Wei Ye fall into a dilemma, and she didn't know for a moment whether she should do it or not. It's time to make trouble with dad again...

And Ye Guying also disappeared directly. As a professional assassin, she knew that it was not convenient for her to listen to Xue Mu's important matters this time. This was normal. After all, the two families were just an alliance, and she was not Xue Mu's true friend. Many of the things Xue Mu asked her to listen to before were actually very confidential, including the key to establishing a sect and teaching disciples, and she was not afraid of spreading it to outsiders. Ye Guying really admired Xue Mu's thoughtfulness. Ye Guying also knew that she should not listen to the most core secret.

Xue Mu really couldn't let Ye Guying or Xiao Qingwu hear what was going on.

Because the person he asked Wei Ye to contact was Eunuch Li. The relationship with Eunuch Li is actually a core secret of Xingyue Sect. Even the elders in the sect don’t know that Xue Qingqiu hid it from Xue Mu when he already trusted Xue Mu. Of course, he would not take such an important matter lightly. leaked.

This is also the reason why Eunuch Li didn't just walk in as carelessly as Xia Wenxuan did when he came. He needed to be cautious enough.

After Xiao Qingwu and Ye Guying had left for a while, Eunuch Li appeared in the quiet room like a ghost, and he casually exuded a layer of aura, blocking sight and hearing.

"It is said that the manager has been in the quiet room since he got up. He has not left the house all day and night. There are countless visitors and the house is full..."

"Ha...Looking at your cheerful face, isn't it great to have all the power now?"

"Hehe." Eunuch Li smiled evilly twice, and it was obvious that he was really enjoying himself: "That idiot Ji Qingyuan gave Wanxi the right to thoroughly investigate the inner guards and shadow guards. This is for us to place his cronies to control the two guards. Now even The imperial edicts are all written by Wanxi, and I will stamp them, which means we are emperors."

Xue Mu sneered: "Really?"

Eunuch Li was excited and said hurriedly: "I made a mistake. Manager Xue is the emperor. We all listen to Manager Xue."

Xue Mu sighed, waved his hands and said: "That's not the problem. Who do you think I am, Xue Mu... I just remind you that this is just the first step, don't be too happy. After all, you are not justified, and you are acting as the emperor." Issuing an imperial edict may not really be able to control important ministers. Do you think Xiahou Di Xuuzhe and Li Yingqing are vegetarians? How much can they respect an imperial edict... not to mention that the person who actually poisoned must have follow-up methods. I am worried, how can you ignore it? ?”

Eunuch Li also showed a hint of resentment on his face: "Ji Qingyuan is really mean and ungrateful. Although Wanxi belongs to our sect, she is too kind-hearted. In the past ten years, she has not been sorry to Ji Qingyuan in the slightest. If he still shows some kindness, please recommend Wanxi." Now that Xi has taken the position of queen, no matter what happens in the future, Wanxi can legitimately be the queen mother and have a worry-free life. But he knows it clearly and still refuses. In fact, he wants Wanxi to have no way out and can only do her best. His pawn."

Xue Mu smiled: "Then he is blind."

"Yes." Eunuch Li also calmed down from his slightly inflated mentality and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?"

Xue Mu took out a few medicine bottles and said calmly: "This is my unique poison, for you to use to control some people who are not sure. During this period, let the two guards in the inner palace and the worship hall only listen to you and Wanxi. , you don’t even listen to Ji Qingyuan’s words, how can you do that?”

"Even if there is no such poison, we are somewhat sure. Now with the help of the steward's poison, we are even more sure." Eunuch Li hesitated: "But the medical fairy..."

"Well, probably soon everyone will know that Qingwu worships me as his disciple."

"..."

"I will let her try her best to heal Ji Qingyuan, but you have to ensure her safety in the palace. I am afraid that she will be harmed by others."

"If the two guards and the worship hall are in our hands, we can ensure that the medical fairy is safe."

Xue Mu smiled: "Don't you think it's a bit ironic now? We want to save Ji Qingyuan's life, but his sons want him to die quickly."

Eunuch Li also laughed. Ji Qingyuan is paralyzed, so he and Liu Wanxi can only control the situation. This is in the interest of the Xingyue Sect, and the Xingyue Sect will try its best to preserve Ji Qingyuan's life. On the contrary, some princes wanted their father to die, and then they would have a chance to fight for the throne.

I really have to thank Ji Qingyuan for being greedy for power and not establishing a reserve, otherwise how could such a weird situation have happened?

By the time Ji Qingyuan suddenly wakes up and wants to establish a throne, it is estimated that Liu Wanxi and Eunuch Li will have already covered the sky with one hand and will have much room for maneuver.

Eunuch Li thought for a while and then said: "But the palace is not just the enshrinement hall and the two guards. There are also elders surnamed Ji who are full-time martial arts practitioners in the royal family. They are only responsible for guarding the Zhenshi Ding and guarding the last lifeblood of the royal family. They usually don't interfere in anything. , As long as the people who sit in the country are named Ji, they have no sense of existence. In this situation, I don’t know if anyone will make a move."

Xue Mu muttered: "It stands to reason that if one takes action, the other will also take action. After all, everyone has a closer bloodline. Under the torment, the guards of the Zhenshi Cauldron are weak, and if someone takes advantage of it, it will dig the root. So these People should have very strict rules and cannot act rashly. As long as you and Wanxi don't act too domineering, you shouldn't offend these people."

"Yes, we will pay attention. In fact, as long as we control the transmission of information, we can prevent them from even understanding the situation in the palace."

"You make up your own mind." Xue Mu asked: "I have read the information compiled by the capital about the status of the princes and the forces of all parties, but I still need to understand some details."

Eunuch Li hurriedly said: "General manager, please tell me."

"The common practice among sects in the world, and even in family inheritance, is to appoint the strongest person to succeed him. However, most of the skills learned by the royal children are practical in the world. Those who are dedicated to martial arts can only guard the cauldron or manage the six gates. So what happens? How to determine the successor? Is it possible to test the strategy? "

"Most of the time, the courtiers discuss it together to establish virtuous people. Of course, the idea is good, but it has evolved so far that it has become more about who can form cliques." Eunuch Li smiled sarcastically: "Especially in Ji Qingyuan's reign, the prince He stayed in the capital, did not go to fiefdoms, and was not awarded official positions, so no one could see his ability to govern. He talked with courtiers every day about various banquets, and interacted with martial arts sects very casually. Ji Qingyuan seemed to want to see the princes from this. Interpersonal tactics are not prohibited.”

"There is actually a reason for returning chaos to chaos. How to deal with the relationship between the various parties in that position is sometimes more important than political ability." Ji Qingyuan didn't care that the chief sect was mixed up with him. Ji Wuyong had contact with the Hehuan Sect and the Xinyi Sect in the past, but nothing happened. This old guy is very confident in his control, and he is really not afraid that someone will conspire with him and make him the Supreme Emperor. .”

"The princes check each other, and the courtiers and the major sects have different demands. I'm afraid there is no one who can connect most people with great talent." Eunuch Li pondered: "But now the six major sects of the Righteous Way will once again join forces. Zhi, they are already very disgusted with Ji Qingyuan's approach of suppressing the righteous way, and I'm afraid they will support an obedient one together. This time we have the opposite demands of the six major sects, and I'm afraid we will become hostile."

"The six major sects? Even if the Xinyi Sect has become history, isn't it still the seven major sects?"

"Because Wenjian Sect has not been involved in this kind of thing for generations. They think it is polluting the sword's heart."

Xue Mu couldn't help but laugh. Mu Jianli's cute face flashed through his mind. He knew that Mu Jianli would really not get involved in this matter. Even if she was willing to get involved in the mortal world, she would not get involved in Xue Mu's and Zhengdao's stance. Confrontation will be avoided 100% of the time.

"Then... I won't get involved yet." Xue Mu's smile didn't fade away, he knocked on the table gently and whispered: "I'm just watching here to see who will play the leading role in this big drama."

"Um..." Eunuch Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "The manager really doesn't want to let the imperial concubine borrow the seeds?"

Seeing that Xue Mu seemed to have unswerving intentions, Eunuch Li hurriedly added: "This time it is Wanxi's own intention. She hates Ji Qingyuan to the core for his disregard for her life and death."

Xue Mu was stunned for a while, then sighed and said: "To be honest, this is really not a good idea... Let's arrange a meeting with her, and I will tell her."
