I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 121 Li Tai suddenly appears in Chang'an City

Chapter 121 Li Tai suddenly appears in Chang'an City (3K)

She entered the palace pretending to be the queen, summoned all the officials into the palace, and then killed the king in public and ascended the throne.

Hearing this, the calmness in Wu Li's autumn-water eyes rippled, her pupils shrank slightly, and were replaced by disbelief and shock.

Let alone accomplishing these three things at the same time.

It is difficult to complete even one.

Let’s not talk about how to pretend to be the queen and enter the palace, and just assume that those Jinwu Guards outside the courtyard are all fools.

However, it was already known to everyone in Chang'an that the King of Tang was addicted to elixirs and hardly attended court once a year.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs.

Without the Tang King's decree, it would be impossible for the queen to summon all officials into the palace.

Not to mention killing the king in public and ascending the throne.

In Wu Li’s original plan.

If Li Yingtai could return to Chang'an smoothly, he would call on all officials to impeach Zhao Guizhen in the name of clearing the court.

At the same time, he ordered the military governors of the four capitals to send troops to Chang'an.

The two combined finally forced the King of Tang to hand over the Golden Phoenix Seal and abdicate.

If the King of Tang refuses, then consider killing him quietly.

Then he announced to the world that King Tang had died of illness and gave up the throne to the former crown prince Li Yingtai.

Throughout the whole plan, although Wu Li thought about killing the King of Tang secretly, she never thought of killing the king in public.

After all, regicide is usurpation of the throne.

If you are in the wrong position, it may cause unnecessary trouble in the future.

After Wu Li calmed down her inner excitement, she said softly, "Sir, isn't your idea a bit too crude? And it's simply impossible to implement."

This kind of reaction was within Jin Chan's expectations.

"Aunt, if the King of Tang is forced to dismiss Zhao Guizhen, what do you think is the chance of him taking the throne and sitting on the Yingtai?"

Unlike Wu Li, who was just a woman, Ying Lou had been sitting on the throne of Qin for many years.

He knew very well that if he wanted to succeed in his rebellion, he must have his own military power.

If he wants to ascend the throne and take over the destiny of the country, he must have the support of the clan and officials.

For example, Lu Buwei.

Among the officials in the Qin court, at least 70% were either his disciples or his retainers, or they came to surrender.

But as for military power, it is much less than the power in the court.

As for the clan, no one supported him.

And this is the reason why Lu Buwei has been sitting in the position of prime minister for a long time.

Let’s look at Ying Qi and Zhao Ji.

It was because Ying Lou was in poor health and could die at any time that he won over the power of most clans.

After all, in the eyes of the clan, the person sitting on the Black Water Dragon Throne just needs to have the surname Ying.

It doesn't matter who it is.

A healthy king is better than a king who may die at any time.

The Longguan gentry represented by Huayang is much simpler than the previous two.

There is no need to worry about rebellion.

All they wanted was hereditary succession and being tied to the King of Qin would be enough.

Although Wu Li is smart and has been patient for many years, she is still far away from power struggles.

Whether it is the military governors of the four capitals or the civil and military officials.

To put it nicely, they and Wu Li are only in a cooperative relationship after all.

To put it bluntly, they can switch sides at any time.

In the minds of these people, Zhao Guizhen is the culprit who caused the Tang Dynasty to become what it is today.

If Zhao Guizhen died.

The power of the King of Tang was decentralized.

The military governors of the four capitals regained control of the military and their power even became greater.

Civil and military officials also remained in their respective positions and continued to control the entire operation of the Tang Dynasty.

By that time, the person on the throne will still be the current King of Tang or Li Yingtai, what difference will it make!

The former does not have to bear the label of regicide, and may even be given the title of a loyal minister for all ages.

The latter will be recorded in history, and the name of regicide and usurpation of the throne will never be erased, and it will be judged by future generations.

at this time.

Wu Li on the side had fallen into deep thought.

After being reminded by Jin Chan, she quickly figured it out.

In the current situation, there are too many uncertainties in clearing the court, impeaching Zhao Guizhen, and forcing the King of Tang to abdicate.

If one wants Li Yingtai to successfully ascend the throne, the only way is to kill the king and establish a new one.

And it must be completed in the shortest possible time.

Do not give the military governors, clans and ministers the opportunity to make choices and think.

As long as they succeed in killing the king in public, these people will have no way out and can only be tied to Li Yingtai.

"Sir, please give me some advice!"

Propping up her still weak body, Wu Li bent her knees and bowed to Jin Chan.

Although Wu Li is a woman, she is very smart.

She knew that the young man in front of her was the key to Yingtai's successful ascension to the throne.

As for Jin Chan's identity, it doesn't matter to her.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Seeing his mother kneeling down to pay her respects, Li Yingtai rolled his eyes at Jin Chan and motioned for him to come over and help.

Jin Chan didn't expect that Wu Li would actually do this.

"Auntie, please get up quickly. There is no need to do this."

Jin Chan quickly put his hands under Wu Li's arms and gently helped her up.

"Aunt, this is the skin of a thousand people. Once you put it on, you can become the queen!"

"Thousands of human skins?"

It was the first time that Wu Li, who was in the Central Plains, saw such a strange thing.

"But if you want to become a queen, you still need..."

Jin Chan glanced at the queen who was chopped into a human stick and was half unconscious and half dead on the ground. At that time, he had heard Su Fu mention that the thousand human skins could only transform into limited appearances.

If you want to become a specific person, just peel off that person's face and merge it into the skin of a thousand people.

swoosh~
The fish's belly gently slid across the queen's face, leaving only a thin piece of skin that fell into Jin Chan's hands.

After integrating the queen's face into the thousand human skins.

Wu Li also successfully transformed herself into the queen.

Although she felt a little nauseous, Wu Li still forced herself to suppress the urge to vomit for the sake of her daughter.

"Aunt, when you return to the palace, you and the King of Tang will summon all the officials to the palace at noon today."

"Sir, what you said may be a little difficult. The King of Tang is now living in the palace. It is difficult to see him, let alone let him enter the palace."

"I have a reason, and I will make King Tang show up!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Li was stunned.

In today's Tang Dynasty, apart from Zhao Guizhen's elixir or the four military governors approaching Chang'an, what else is worthy of the King of Tang's concern?

"Pudu Xianshi!"

Jin Chan uttered four words softly.

Over the past thirteen years, everyone knows about the cooperation between Master Pudu and King Tang.

Moreover, Pu Du temples also sprang up all over the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Wu Li was familiar with the name of Master Pudu, she had never seen this person before.

"Aunt, you just need to tell the King of Tang that Master Pudu has arrived in Chang'an and will come to the palace at noon today. The King of Tang will summon him after hearing this!"

"In the past few years, those ministers who have received your favor, I believe your aunt should have her own way to let them make their choice in the hall of Daming Palace."

After all, she is Li Yingtai’s biological mother, so Jin Chan did not state it directly, but instead used the word “favor” implicitly.

"Please rest assured, sir. I haven't let anyone play with my body for nothing all these years!"

Wu Li did not hide anything and did not shy away from telling what she had done, even in front of Li Yingtai.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, aunt. I'll enter the palace at noon today to kill the king and help Yingtai ascend the throne."

After the three of them planned some details as quickly as possible, Jin Chan set the courtyard on fire.

Wu Li also pretended to be the queen and walked towards the Jinwu Guards.

"Get off and go back to the palace!"

Wu Li imitated the queen's manners very vividly, and even acquired 80% of the queen's charm.

"As ordered!"

Although the leader of the Jinwu Guards was somewhat puzzled as to where Taoist Lu had gone, due to the difference in their status, he did not dare to ask any further questions.

After Wu Li left.

The burning flames grew bigger and bigger.

In the light of the fire, the outline of the house became distorted and blurred, with red flames and black smoke intertwined.

And in this raging sea of ​​fire, one could seem to still hear the queen's screams.

But the screams were quickly drowned out.

"Let's go!"

Jin Chan patted Li Yingtai on the shoulder.

"Jin Chan, I want all those who came here to die!"

Li Yingtai bit his lips with his pearly teeth and frowned.

His fingers were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

In order not to worry Wu Li, Li Yingtai had been suppressing his anger.

But with Wu Li's departure, Li Yingtai could no longer suppress himself.

Looking at the sea of ​​fire before him, the place where his mother had been humiliated for thirteen years, Li Yingtai felt as if his heart was being pierced by needles with every breath he took.

"it is good!"

Returning along the same route, the two soon arrived at the dangerous place in the east of the city.

"Sir, your elixir has been distributed to the brothers."

After seeing Jin Chan coming back, Su Quji led the Anzi Camp entrenched in the east of Chang'an City to kneel down before Jin Chan.

"No need to be so polite!" Jin Chan helped the other person up and asked everyone to stand up and talk.

"Quji, I have to trouble you again. Tell all the brothers to shave their heads, put on white monk robes, and follow me into Daming Palace at noon tomorrow."

"Daming Palace?"

Hearing this, Su Quji was obviously stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Li Yingtai, who had a gloomy expression.

"You guessed it right, I will kill the king tomorrow!"

Although Su Quji had already guessed something roughly, he still couldn't help but tremble after hearing Jin Chan's words.

The Anzi Camp was indeed a unit of the Bai family's army, and was trained for the purpose of assassination.

But in terms of military achievements, he only successfully assassinated a general of Zhao State once.

Next up is Li Yingtai, the former crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he hasn’t succeeded yet.

Su Quji was really surprised that the king was going to be killed suddenly in the capital of Tang.

After briefly explaining a few words to Su Quji, Jin Chan went to the empty side room alone.

Prepare easy-to-carry "magic medicine" for the Anziying and Li Yingtai.

And at the same time.

Wu Li also returned to the queen's bedroom.

"Tomorrow at noon, Master Pudu will enter the palace. You should quickly inform the king and have all the officials prepare themselves."

Wu Li sat on the phoenix couch, imitating the queen's manners, and spoke to the old eunuch who was bowing beside her.

"As ordered!"

The old eunuch who had served the queen for more than ten years did not recognize that the person in front of him was Wu Li in disguise.

I have to say, this thousand human skins are really useful.

"Your Majesty, the prince has been waiting for you next door for a long time. Do you think he should be summoned now?"

"Li Tai?"

Wu Li was stunned.

According to what Jin Chan said just now, Li Tai set out from Shudu three days later than them, so he should still be on his way to Chang'an at this time.

How come he suddenly appeared in the Daming Palace?

 Brothers, can 3k be counted as 1.5 chapters? I'm too busy moving bricks before the holidays.
