Chapter 540 Conspiracy

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince died due to the backlash of his destiny and evil spirit."

In the royal study.

Gu Changsheng said lightly.

The death of a prince is a big deal.

Death due to shattering of the elixir was just an excuse given to the outside world.

"Rebel!"

There was anger flashing in the Holy Emperor's eyes.

Gu Changsheng has been sent to investigate. His fifth son Zhu Qian was so bold that he dared to set up a formation privately and steal the country's destiny.

As a result, his body could not bear the weight, his qi became evil, and he eventually backfired and died.

It's really a case of one who brings trouble upon himself.

Although the matter has not been fully investigated.

But it is a foregone conclusion that Zhu Qian secretly stole the country's destiny.

A prince dared to steal the country's destiny, which in itself is a crime almost equivalent to disobedience.

The Holy Emperor's eyes were cold and gloomy. "Zhu Qian's mind is not pure. Gao Shi is at fault for not educating him and controlling him too much. He is confined to his home for three months and is not allowed to go out. He should reflect on himself."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Zheng on the side accepted the order respectfully.

Gu Changsheng didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

Gao family.

Naturally, it was Concubine Gao, whose power in the harem was almost as great as that of the Queen.

The reason why Concubine Gao was so powerful was because of the Gao family behind her.

The reason why Gao family was so powerful was because of Concubine Gao and the first wife of the imperial teacher.

This is often the case with aristocratic families.

An invisible network was formed through marriage, penetrating into the deepest part of the court.

The Holy Emperor has long been disgusted with this.

But every emperor in every dynasty was like this.

There's nothing we can do about it.

But Zhu Qian's death seemed to make the Holy Emperor more determined to get rid of the Gao family.

It is true that Gao once helped Emperor Long, but if she extended her hand into the royal family, she would have touched the Holy Emperor's reverse scale.

The Holy Emperor looked at Gu Changsheng and said, "Changsheng, how is the Imperial Master doing?"

Gu Changsheng: "Still in the Shiwan Mountains."

The Holy Emperor nodded.

No more words.

He knew his son's abilities very well.

How can a country's destiny be so easy to steal?

If a second-rank person could really do it, the national fortune of Yu would have been stolen long ago.

In the whole world, the only person who could conceal the secret from the Imperial Observatory and steal the destiny of the State of Yu was the Imperial Master.

To attack the Gao family is equivalent to confronting the imperial teacher.

The Holy Emperor did not mention it again.

But Eunuch Zheng on the side understood that the Holy Emperor's question itself had already made his attitude clear.

After a long time.

The Holy Emperor then spoke: "Changsheng, you go south in person to investigate the situation of the dragon veins."

Gu Changsheng nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The dragon vein is a very important matter.

In the entire Yu State, only the National Master has that ability.

Gu Changsheng is younger and more talented.

The Holy Emperor let him take charge of the Imperial Observatory with the intention of replacing the Imperial Master.

But at least for now, Gu Changsheng does not have the ability to determine the dragon veins.

Therefore, we can only stabilize the national teacher now.

Otherwise, the dragon veins of the Ten Thousand Mountains will rise up against the tide and impact the country's destiny.

By then, the mountains and rivers will be in ruins.

The Holy Emperor’s meaning is very clear.

Want to kill.

But you have to wait until the dragon vein is established before you can kill it.

Even Yuan Dingting alone was not enough to guard the place, so Gu Changsheng was also sent to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

Three days later.

Li Rui had just quietly returned to Qinghe Paddock from the capital and was thinking of an excuse to transfer back to the capital when Gu Changsheng knocked on his door.

"Brother Li, long time no see."

open the door.

Then he saw Gu Changsheng looking at him with a smile. "Owner."

Li Rui was a little surprised to see that it was Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng: "Your Majesty asked me to come to Shiwan Mountain to keep an eye on that old guy. We are all destined to be hard-working, unlike our brother Jiang, who is now enjoying a good life in Baiyujing."

Li Rui was amused and nodded with a smile: "That's right."

Ever since Jiang Linxian went to the world of immortal cultivation, they have been communicating through telepathy every month.

Not much news came back.

I roughly know that Jiang Linxian is doing very well in Baiyujing, and his realm is also improving by leaps and bounds.

I heard that Bai Yujing is planning to send people to the mortal world again.

This is also thanks to Jiang Linxian.

Gu Changsheng: "Brother Li, perhaps you have heard that the fifth prince is dead."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Of course he knew it a long time ago.

Gu Changsheng continued to talk to himself, "The Fifth Prince actually died due to the backlash of his luck. His Majesty felt that it was because of Concubine Gao's spoiling him, and has asked Concubine Gao to confine him to her house."

The speaker is free to speak.

But Li Rui was secretly surprised when he heard it.

Having been an official for decades, he was already well versed in the ins and outs of this. Although Gu Changsheng did not say it directly, he could tell that there were three key points in this sentence.

One is that Zhu Qian stole the country's destiny.

Second, the Holy Emperor was already dissatisfied with the Gao family.

Although San was not said out loud, it was already very obvious from Gu Changsheng's visit to Shiwan Mountain that the Holy Emperor no longer trusted the Imperial Master.

"I'm afraid the court is going to change."

Li Rui's heart trembled.

After becoming the Taiping Order, he knew more and more secrets of the court.

For example, the relationship between the National Master and the Holy Emperor has never been good.

It’s just that with the power of the Imperial Master, the imperial power is no longer supreme, so even if the Holy Emperor is dissatisfied, he can only endure it.

"That's fine."

He was originally still racking his brains over how to inform the court about the imperial teacher.

It's not about loyalty.

However, the National Master was not someone he could deal with. Since he couldn't defeat him, the best way was to find the enemy of his enemy.

The Holy Emperor is undoubtedly the best choice.

Although the imperial court did not know that it was the Imperial Master who killed Zhu Qian, the Holy Emperor had already begun to think about eradicating the Imperial Master's lineage.

This was enough for Li Rui.

Subsequently.

Gu Changsheng chatted with Li Rui for about an incense stick of time and then left.

On the surface, Zhu Qian's death did not cause much stir.

I heard that he was buried at the foot of Yu Mountain.

Officials of Li Rui's level certainly knew that Zhu Qian's luck backfired and nothing was left of him in the end. The tomb at the foot of Yu Mountain was just a cenotaph.

If there were an official who was well versed in etiquette and laws, he would be able to discover the clues.

The Holy Emperor issued an order to bury Zhu Qian in Yushan.

It doesn't seem to be a problem.

After all, the State of Yu was founded a thousand years ago, and many princes were buried there.

But the problem is.

Those buried in Yushan were all illegitimate sons who were not valued at all. Many of them had never seen their father the emperor several times in their entire lives.

This is the bottom line for the prince.

Zhu Qian's biological mother was Concubine Gao, who had a noble status.

No matter what, Zhu Qian should be buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and he should be regarded as a filial son and grandson serving the ancestors of the Zhu family.

The Holy Emperor made such an arrangement, which clearly showed his dissatisfaction with the Gao family.

Those old hands in official circles had already smelled the scent of blood and gore, and knew that the situation was already undercurrents.

Li Rui is not in Beijing, far away from the center of this vortex of power.

Instead, I enjoy the leisure time.

Even with two powerful men, Yuan Dingting and Gu Changsheng, guarding it, there is no need to worry too much about the affairs of the Shiwan Mountains.

The days passed like this.

This day.

Suddenly, a pair of black and white yin and yang fish swam and merged on the ground of the Qinghe Villa room, and finally turned into a Yin and Yang Tai Chi.

Li Rui sat cross-legged in the center of Tai Chi.

It is the dividing line between yin and yang.

There were endless talismans made of golden light floating out from his sleeves.

It is the Yin-Yang Talisman.

A thought becomes a talisman!
