Royal Master Painter

Chapter 303
When Emperor Tianzuo learned that Zu Dashou was dead, he excitedly patted the dragon case.

This world is nominally owned by his Zhao family, but before the Tianshe Mansion dominated one side, even the royal family was inferior to the Jiang family.

The Tianshe Mansion rebelled, and he spent a huge price to finally make the Jiang family disappear in the long river of history, but he pressed the gourd and picked up the ladle, and the Anling Mansion began to dominate the court again.

Now that Zu Dashou died, the entire Xuan Kingdom respected the Zhao family alone. Since he ascended the throne as emperor, his greatest wish was to take the power of the world into his hands, and now he has finally achieved it.

Since then, no one in the government and the opposition can restrict it, and the only obstacle is the Eight Houses that overlook all living beings from above!

"Report to Your Majesty, the master craftsman, Bo Yin, is asking for an audience!" A eunuch from the Yellow Gate approached and reported.

The Grand Order of Craftsmanship belongs to the dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty, and is also the eyeliner of the emperor sent by the Eight Houses to monitor him. Bao Yinzhi is one of the masters of the Mo House.

"Tell Bao Aiqing that I'm sick..."

Emperor Tianzuo didn't dare to see Bao Yinzhi, because although he won a game in Jiugong Mountain, and he won very thoroughly, his only failure was Cao Li's death, or it was originally one of his plans.

The death of Cao Yong, the first genius in the Mo family, will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Mo family. He still can't think of any way to calm Bao Yinzhi's anger, so he can only avoid it.

Moreover, Jiang Li is also missing, and Lu Tanwei is searching. If Jiang Li also dies, the Tianshe Mansion in Jiugong Mountain will be completely extinct, but it will also arouse Wei Changli's anger.

"I'm sick? Shouldn't His Majesty be happy at this time?"

Bo Yinzhi was chubby, and although the emperor didn't summon him, he broke into the hall on his own. Those imperial guards were strong, but to Bo Yinzhi, they were in vain.

Bao Yinzhi's complexion was gloomy and cold, as if he was asking questions.

"What are the words of the craftsman's order? After hearing the news of Cao Li, I was heartbroken..."

"Your Majesty doesn't need to pretend to be merciful. Now there are rumors outside that there is no double worship in Jiugong Mountain, and His Majesty wants to kill people with a knife. Let us help you get rid of Zu Dashou."

"Why do you believe these conspiracy words?"

Of course, Emperor Tianzuo would not admit it. After all, the only ones who really knew the ins and outs were Jiang Li and Cao Li. Now that one of them is dead and the other is missing, as long as he denies it, even the Eighth House would need evidence if they wanted to pursue it!
"Whether it's a conspiracy theory or not, the Mo House will investigate it, but I also want to warn you..."

Bowin was short, but when he got angry, the atmosphere in the whole hall became dignified.

There are six stone pillars carved with giant dragons in this hall, and the dragons coiled on these pillars come to life following Bouinzhi's anger.

The six dragons soared above the main hall, opening their huge mouths to try to share the food with Emperor Tianzuo. Emperor Tianzuo subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the dragon on the dragon chair also came alive and tied his limbs in place.

"Bao Yinzhi, what do you want to do!" Emperor Tianzuo asked in shock.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to warn Your Majesty that the bedroom you live in is supervised by craftsmen from the Mo Mansion, and it will be easy to kill you.

It seems that you have forgotten the lesson Master Wu gave you at the beginning, don't try to anger the Eight Houses, Cao Yong's death will not stop here, and you will know when I find out the truth, you have never had the final say in this world! "

Bo Yinzhi turned and left. When he stepped out of the hall, the six dragons turned into sculptures and attached to the stone pillars again. Only Emperor Tianzuo turned pale and even left the dragon chair directly.

It was also the first time that he knew that the majestic Xuanguo Chaotang Hall was actually a tiger's mouth that could kill him at any time!
As the king of a country, he was actually threatened by a courtier, and what was even more depressing was that he didn't even have the strength to resist.

If Bo Yinzhi had killed him just now, he would already be a corpse now.

"Your Majesty is frightened, the old slave deserves death..."

An old eunuch knelt in front of Emperor Tianzuo and repeatedly pleaded guilty, but Emperor Tianzuo needed to vent his anger, so he kicked the old eunuch down.

"Bowin almost killed me just now, why didn't you do it..."

"It's not that the old slave doesn't do anything, but that he can't. If the old slave does something, wouldn't it be self-inflicted, and it's true that you control Jiugong Mountain?

If you can't bear it, you can make a big conspiracy, without proof, he, Bo Yinzhi, only dares to demonstrate, not to hurt you," the old eunuch said hastily.

Emperor Tian Zuo calmed down, yes, as long as there is no evidence, no one would dare to do anything to him.

"Zhao Rang, I lost my temper just now."

Emperor Tian Zuo actually helped the old eunuch up himself, but the old eunuch hurriedly got up from the ground without daring.

"Don't hate me"

"The old slave dare not, even if he is resentful, he will only hate the people of the Eight Houses for trampling on the majesty of the royal family so recklessly," the old eunuch said desolately.

"Don't worry, one day I will wash away all the shame. You can go to Xuancao Temple and invite me."

"Master Chen is already outside the palace"

The old eunuch waved his hand, and an eunuch pushed Chen Cao'an's wheelchair into the main hall.

He knew that the emperor wanted to discuss important matters with this wise man, so he took everyone away.

The emperor himself stepped down, pushed Chen Caoan's wheelchair, and then sat on the floor.

"The situation in Jiugong Mountain is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself. I am lucky to have you."

In the entire Daxuan City, there are many strong Qianyuan mirrors, and there are also many Taoists, but in his eyes, Chen Cao'an is more terrifying than these people.

"But the matter is not over yet. The only one who knows the inside story, Jiang Li, is now missing. This is a hidden danger." Emperor Tianzuo was a little worried. If Bao Yinzhi found evidence that he was plotting against the Eight Houses, it would be a disaster. .

"Your Majesty is a fan of the authorities. Jiang Yu may have some speculations but there is no evidence. From the beginning to the end, we just watched the fire from the other side and did not get involved in it." Chen Cao'an was not worried.

"I believe in you"

No matter who said that nothing happened, the emperor would not feel at ease, only from Chen Cao'an's mouth can make people feel at ease.

"Cao'an, next you have to help me out!" Emperor Tianzuo held his breath in his heart.

"It's about dealing with the Eight Houses. The only thing that went beyond our expectations during the trip to Jiugong Mountain was the death of Zu Wannian." Chen Cao'an frowned slightly. Although this is a very dangerous pawn, it is also very important.

Speaking of Zu Wannian, Emperor Tianzuo admired Chen Cao'an's strategy.

Emperor Tian Zuo breathed a sigh of relief after Cao Yong's death. He regarded Zu Dashou as the number one enemy, while Chen Cao'an regarded Cao Yong as the number one threat. Now the two threats are all dead.

What about Yan Youqin, and the number one in the Eight Houses, they are all pawns in Chen Cao'an's hands.

This kind of resourcefulness made Emperor Tianzuo a little scared, but Chen Cao'an was not an enlightened person, so it was not so difficult to master it.

And Chen Cao'an never showed his face from the beginning to the end, but only pushed sideways when it was deadlocked, such as the resurrection of Zu Wannian.

Emperor Tianzuo knew the secret of Zu Dashou's yin qi nourishing his corpse a long time ago. Everyone in the Eight Mansions thought that Zu Wannian's appearance was because Zu Dashou took advantage of the unique terrain of Jiugong Mountain to generate yang from the cathode, so that his corpse would be enlightened and revived.

Only the emperor knows that Zu Wannian's Wushuang enlightenment is the panacea that Chen Cao'an wants to leave from the royal family's collection!
Helping an enlightened person wake up, especially if this person is surnamed Zu, is something that sends chills down the emperor's spine, but Chen Cao'an walks on the tightrope with ease.

And the resurrection of Zu Wannian in the whole layout has become the most exciting stroke, a hand of God that can decide the outcome that Emperor Tianzuo couldn't think of.

If Zu Wannian hadn't appeared, Zu Dashou would never have been so confident in confronting the people from the Eight Prefectures. Zu Dashou also paid the price of his life for this.

Although there is an element of luck, taking advantage of the ancestor's birthday to get rid of Cao Yong is also very successful, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Originally, in Chen Cao'an's plan, the two sides would fight to the death, even if Cao Li didn't die, he would be seriously injured. At that time, Chen Chen and Zhang Tang would make a silent move.

Planting Cao Yong's death on Zu Wannian's body intensified the conflict between the Eight Houses and Zu Wannian, fighting to the death.

"It's a pity that thousands of calculations have been made. The only thing that was wrong is that I didn't expect that such an important chess piece as Zu Wannian would actually die in Jiang Greed's hands."

Speaking of this incident, Emperor Tianzuo seems to be in a dream now, watching the peak of Taoism, the immortal corpse enlightened!
"I want to ask Your Majesty, if Jiang Li is still alive, how will you treat him?" Chen Cao'an asked.

This put Emperor Tianzuo in a dilemma. He had promised Jiang Greed that after Zu Dashou's death, he would rehabilitate Tianshe Mansion and let those refugees return to Fortress.

Now that I think about it, isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain?
Especially in Jiugongshan and his party, the horror shown by Jiang Greed, Zu Wannian died in his hands!

"Jiang Li is so talented that he is better than Jiang Boluan and Jiang Fengwu. If the matter of Tianshe Mansion can be concealed, it will be fine. Once it is leaked, it will only be a matter of time before you and Jiang Li will confront each other," Chen Cao'an reminded.

"So you want me to break my promise? I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"It's impossible to break your word."

Chen Cao'an closed his eyes and thought about it, Emperor Tian Zuo didn't bother, but poured a cup of tea for Chen Cao'an himself.

"Your Majesty, do you dare to take another risk?"

Hearing what Chen Cao'an said, Emperor Tianzuo showed a smile on his face, and he knew that he was paying attention.

"We were not taking risks that time, but we were the ones who had the last laugh every time"

"This time it will be more dangerous than before. Since the promise to Jiang Greed is not easy to change, but how to rehabilitate and what regulations are up to you?"

"You mean there are many articles in it?" Emperor Tianzuo's eyes lit up.

"That's right, and you want to deal with Bafu, Jiang Li is smart and talented, he can also muddy the water"

"The plan will come out?"

"The Eight Houses are giants in the Yuling Continent. If you want to deal with such an existence, you must have equal strength. Obviously, your majesty, you don't have it yet," Chen Cao'an analyzed.

"I'm really a little worse..."

Today's Daxuan has all the power in his hands, and he rules a huge empire. As long as he is given some time to cultivate talents, he may not be able to get rid of the control of the Eight Houses.

"But someone can do it!"

Emperor Tian Zuo didn't understand, who could have the strength to compete with the Eight Houses, and who could be used by him?
"who?"

"They also showed up in Jiugong Mountain before," Chen Cao'an said with a smile.

"Baiyang Cult!"

After Chen Cao'an's touch, Emperor Tianzuo immediately figured out the key point.

"There are two reasons for their appearance in Jiugong Mountain. Zu Dashou and the Baiyang Sect are colluding. This can already be ruled out. There is only one possibility left."

"There are people in Daxuan City colluding with the Baiyang Sect!"

"That's right, and I guess, it's very likely to be with a certain prince!
The other princes, Zhao Suixian, Zhao Pingcheng, and Zhao Qingyang have arrived in Daxuan City, and they have a close relationship with the Eight Houses, so your princes have been divided into two camps."

Emperor Tianzuo couldn't bear it, Chen Cao'an asked him to plot against his son!

During the Jiazi Gengxin Rebellion, the royal family offended the Eight Houses. In order to win over the Eight Houses' anger, they sent their three most talented sons to the Eight Houses.

Firstly let my son learn the secret skills of the Eight Houses to strengthen the royal family itself, and secondly, no matter who these three people become emperors, the status of the Eight Houses behind them will improve a lot.

"This is the idea you gave me at the beginning, Chen Cao'an, did you already figure out that there will be today at that time?"

Emperor Tian Zuo stared at Chen Cao'an's eyes. If this is true, it means that Chen Cao'an started planning 20 years ago, when he was only eight years old!

Although Chen Cao'an was not an enlightened person, Emperor Tian Zuo felt the same threat as the masters of the Eight Houses.

"At that time, it was just a stopgap measure for you to send the prince, but now it can only be said that it was a mistake." Chen Caoan said, "If your majesty, you don't want your son to kill each other, then I will think of another way."

"When I was a prince, the ones who wanted my life the most were my elder brothers. Since I was born in the royal family, many things happen beyond my control. Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. In order to achieve the goal, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed. "

Emperor Tianzuo knew that he was able to rise from a humble prince to this position not because he was smarter, but because he was ruthless.
However, Chen Cao'an's plot also made Emperor Tianzuo feel afraid. The people of Baiyang Sect only appeared in Jiugong Mountain for a short time, and they were drawn into a whirlpool. If Chen Cao'an plots against him in the future...
"Cao'an, my ugly words are in front of me, if one day..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, Chen Cao'an already knew what he wanted to say.

"Back then, my mother traveled all over the eight provinces with me on her back, hoping to become an enlightened person, and also hoped that those enlightened people could cure my leg disease.

Mother's worship from one mountain gate to another, no matter whether it is cold or hot, is rejected by everyone.

They wouldn't care how sincere and humble my mother was when she cried and begged and kowtowed, and they wouldn't care how difficult my mother was, just because I was not an enlightened person, and I was still a paralyzed person.

From then on, I told myself that I must let these enlightened people know that my mother cannot be insulted, and I, Chen Caoan, cannot be insulted.

As for your suspicion of my betrayal, you can rest assured that I am just an ordinary person without enlightenment, and I need someone to take care of my daily life and walking, and I am always in your palm. "

Hearing what Chen Cao'an said, Emperor Tianzuo was relieved a little. Everyone who took care of Chen Cao'an's daily life was his eyeliner.

"Don't worry, I will never let you down in my life. As long as I have your help, I will be sure to sweep the Eight Houses into the trash."
