When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 34

The afterglow of the setting sun fell through the iron window into the cell. Li Shun's upper body was exposed to the setting sun. The five-clawed golden dragon woven with gold and silver threads on his body shone brightly. Half of his face was also flushed, but his eyes were even redder.Zhuge Xuanyi was still hesitating.But he didn't give her a chance to object.

"If you refuse, I will kill you and your subordinates, as well as Zhuge Xiangqing. Although it is impossible to confirm whether you and Zhuge Xiangqing are involved in this conspiracy, I have no choice. It’s for the sake of the country and the country.”

"What if this is all just paranoia on your part?"

"Haha, I am not a Shoucheng monarch who lives on the shadow of his ancestors, but an emperor who is about to die after inheriting a mess from the late emperor. What I have experienced in the past few years is beyond your imagination. You are not blind, even if Among the people, you can also understand how corrupt the current government has become! How many of your Divine Machine Guards do you think really obey my orders?"

Zhuge Xuanyi fell silent, what the emperor said was the truth.

Zhao Zhongxiao was already an extremely dangerous figure. He held the power of the Jinwu Guards, Shenji Guards and local eunuchs, and conducted surveillance, testing, and assassination on him. He also colluded with Zhang Jinzhong, who was suspected of being a member of the Dragon Slaying Organization, and threatened him. Too big.In any case, Li Shun could not tolerate his continued existence.

This time is the decisive battle between Li Shun and Zhao Zhongxiao.He never thought this day would come so quickly.He was not ready yet. The chess pieces Zhang Liansheng and Zhu Wucai had just laid out had not yet grown up. If they broke the balance rashly, Hu Minde would only benefit in the end, but he couldn't wait any longer.The emperor's suspicion was reason enough for all actions.

Zhao Zhongxiao had directly threatened his personal safety. Although he thought he had reached the Danyuan stage of strength, he knew too little about the world to guarantee that Zhao Zhongxiao or the Dragon Slaying Organization did not hold a trump card that could kill him.The ordinary world cannot be judged by common sense, let alone the world of gods and demons!
As for the so-called blessing of heaven and the invincibility of gods, Li Shun only expressed pleasure on the surface, but in his heart he didn't take it seriously.If the rules of heaven are really unbreakable, how could cultivation civilizations like the Holy Week Divine Kingdom and the Jia Ya Fairy Kingdom appear in this world!
Zhuge Xuanyi finally agreed. She said that she would only be with Li Shun temporarily and would not be enshrined or sealed.Li Shun also said that she was overthinking: "I have three thousand beauties in my harem, how can I covet your beauty? Even though you have long legs and thin waist, and you have a ponytail, I am not moved."

"You obviously can't move your eyes!" Zhuge Xuanyi cursed.She is still very confident about her external conditions.There are no other disadvantages other than the tendency to starve the children.

This Holy Emperor gave her a very contradictory feeling. His temperament was domineering and vulgar, benevolent and ruthless, which was extremely confusing.Because of Zhuge Zhenglong's relationship, she had hatred and resentment towards the Li royal family.But she grew up in the Shenji Manufacturing Office and was more or less influenced by Zhongjun's set of ideas, so she was also very conflicted.

Li Shun walked out of the cell and issued three orders to Zhu Wu: "Send someone to contact Yan Dahu and ask him to lead his troops, take over the defense of the capital, and strictly monitor Hu Minde's movements. How many people do you have?"

"There are more than [-] Jinwu guards in the capital, and the Fusi Yamen in Nanzhen can only mobilize more than [-] people."

Nanzhen Fusi was a full-time internal supervisor in Jinwu Guards. It was a thankless yamen. Most of the people who were able to get inside were because they had offended their bosses or had no connections. Therefore, Zhu Wu promised huge profits and quickly achieved complete control.

"Some of them secretly entered the palace with my will to change the defense. Remember, you don't need to replace all the imperial guards. Just guard a few places entering and exiting the palace. You also need to send people to control several generals of the imperial army to guard against changes. In addition, allocate 20 people will follow me to arrest them!"

Zhu Wu felt something was wrong with the emperor's arrangement: "Your Majesty, are you preparing..."

Li Shun said in one word: "Zhao Zhongxiao conspired to kill the king, and the evidence is conclusive."

Zhu Wu admired the emperor's boldness, but at the same time he was unsure: "Did the emperor act too hastily?"

Li Shun stared into Zhu Wen's eyes: "Are you afraid? Strike first to gain advantage, and strike later to suffer disaster. Instead of waiting for Zhao Zhongxiao to attack me repeatedly, it is better to cut through the mess quickly and eradicate the scourge! He is just a eunuch, and his power is What I give, I can take back! He is not the main problem. The key is whether it can prevent chaos in the capital! This will allow people with evil intentions to take advantage of it. Therefore, things must be done secretly!" There were some things Li Shun did not say.He had been holding back before, just because he wanted Zhao Zhongxiao to be in front, and he was operating behind the scenes to accumulate strength. Now, a dog can be beaten and trained to protect its food, but to bite people, it is necessary to prepare chili peppers and aniseed.

Li Shun saw that he was still hesitant: "After I remove Zhao Zhongxiao, the position of the Jinwu Guard commander can be assigned to one of my own."

Zhu Wuyi gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He wanted wealth and honor in danger. The emperor was not afraid, so why should he be entangled!He knelt down and said: "I obey, let's make arrangements now!"

Li Shun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Wu leaving. Compared to Yan Dahu, he was more worried about Zhu Wu's attitude.

Yan Dahu seems careless, but he is very meticulous in his work, and the balance in his heart is also biased towards him. Taking the initiative to seek an official position is a disguised expression of loyalty.Although Li Shun saved Zhu Wuyi's life, he had been in the Jinwu Guard for a long time and had a lot of minor problems. In addition, Zhao Zhongxiao had controlled the two guards for many years, and his power was still there.If he doesn't make up his mind, Li Shun will have to consider replacing him.Fortunately, he is still aware of current affairs.

Zhao Zhongxiao took the three Gu men back to the palace, and the journey was smooth, which shows his control over the palace and his prestige in the palace.Li Shun had news about the treasure map in his hands, but he did not choose to tell Zhang Jinzhong.He wants to get it first and use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms.

He sat in the room, happily imagining that his Yuanyang would be reborn and become a great power. When the time comes, it would not be impossible to kill Hu Minde, kick out Li Shun, and become the emperor himself.

If Heaven wants it to die, it will also want it to go crazy.After Zhao Zhongxiao obtained a Gu man who was comparable to his innate self, he was full of self-confidence and was so powerful that he lost his mind.At the same time, he received a report from his subordinates that the emperor had taken Zhuge Xuanyi out of the imperial prison and brought him into the harem, which made him feel that Li Shun had been deceived.

"Now just wait for the opportunity! The treasure map can easily fall into his bag!"

As for saving people?That's just incidental!It has nothing to do with him afterwards. He can completely blame Zhuge Xiangqing. Otherwise, why would he let Zhuge Xuanyi use the beauty trap?This is his real plan!
In the New Season Palace, Li Fei is rehearsing her latest dance.Li Shun quietly brought Fei'er in. Fei'er identified the palace maid. Li Shun quickly knocked her unconscious, picked her up and ran away, leaving her to the Jinwu guards for interrogation: "No matter what method you use, you must quickly learn about the palace maid from her mouth." The situation of other spies inside."

Subsequently, similar incidents were staged in Zhaoxiu Palace and Shang Shufang without anyone noticing.

Jin Wuwei immediately started interrogation in the imperial prison and tortured them severely. It seemed that these three people had been in the palace for a long time, and their will was not as strong as Zhuge Xiangqing's. They quickly recognized the undercover information they knew.Especially Zheng Chun, who went to the study room, immediately recognized ten undercover personnel from all over the palace.Because he is one of Zhao Zhongxiao's cronies and knows a lot.

In two hours, Li Shun followed the clues and arrested 47 spies of Zhao Zhongxiao, including palace maids, eunuchs, and guards.Of course, in order not to alert the snake, he did not take action on some people who were very close to Zhao Zhongxiao, but he also ordered people to keep strict surveillance and kill them if there was any abnormal movement.

In this way, the obstacles were cleared. When Zhu Wu led his men to change defenses, Zhao Zhongxiao knew nothing.Everything is ready, just waiting for Zhao Zhongxiao's next move.Li Shun will come and get all the stolen goods!The reason why he didn't arrest Zhao Zhongxiao immediately was that he suspected that Zhang Jinzhong might be hiding in the dark, and he wanted to see what his trump card was!
In order to lure the snake out of the cave, he did not stay in any of the concubines' palaces. Instead, he slept alone in the emperor's palace and ordered Zheng Chun, who had surrendered, to inform Zhao Zhongxiao.

Zhao Zhongxiao was overjoyed when he heard the news: "Hahaha, God is really helping me!"

Zheng Chun looked at the excited ancestor and said to himself: "Ancestor, don't blame us. When you asked me to enter the palace, I couldn't be a man. Now I'm going to retaliate."
