With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 28 Closing
  The king of Huainan fell ill and sought medical treatment urgently.

I want Li Zhen to persuade the eldest princess.

I have to say that this kind of brain circuit made Li Zhen a little nervous.

He really thinks too highly of himself.

Who is Li Zhen?

He is just a small bookkeeper in the palace, not even an official.

Even by chance, I had some special communication with the eldest princess.

But I want to rely on this trivial friendship like duckweed in the wind.

To have an impact on something that is a matter of life and death in the future.

Li Zhen felt that King Huainan was a bit too whimsical.

However, in order not to let him vent his anger on himself.

Still gave some small suggestions.

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about what the eldest princess is pursuing!"

"Ok?"

In the darkness, King Huainan's expression became increasingly livid.

all the time.

His pursuit is all for that supreme position.

In order to achieve this goal, he can give up everything.

However, he never seemed to consider it.

What do the people around me think?

"Yeah, what is she pursuing?"

The King of Huainan asked himself, but could not find the answer for a while.

status? Power? money?

The eldest princess once owned these.

But she discarded it with disdain.

As for now.

Maybe martial arts?
  I was guessing in my mind, but also a little unsure.

Then he turned his attention to this little Taoist priest whom he had forgotten.

I want to see what kind of answer he can give.

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about immortality?"

"Longevity?"

King Huainan was stunned for a moment.

He seemed a little unsure, so he repeated it doubtfully.

"That's right, it's immortality."

Li Zhen looked at King Huainan who had taken the bait and felt that he was half stable.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess often laments the fragility of human beings and the perishability of life in her letters to Xiaodao."

"And she lamented that if there was immortality in this world, she would be willing to abandon everything to pursue it."

"Your Highness, maybe you can start from this aspect and convince the eldest princess."

"As for the rest, Xiaodao has nothing to say."

Stopping his narration, Li Zhen looked at the person in front of him calmly.

King Huainan seemed to have heard something, but also seemed to have heard nothing.

He seemed a little distracted and distracted.

After a cup of tea, he came back to his senses.

Without even looking at Li Zhen, he held his hands and left thoughtfully.

Manager Wang on the side had no idea what was happening.

He just gave Li Zhen a slightly warning look and hurriedly followed him.

I'm used to being treated like a big shot.

Li Zhen did not expect the King of Huainan to let him go.

Grasp every chip in your hand, this is a required course for big people.

But now, he seems to have become a bargaining chip related to the attitude of the eldest princess.

Destiny is so unpredictable sometimes.

The light in front of my eyes disappeared again.

Li Zhen withdrew his gaze and lay calmly on the bed.

Unknowingly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Who doesn’t want to live forever?

And King Huainan himself was proficient in Taoist knowledge.

After becoming the emperor, can he resist such temptation?

Li Zhen, wait and see.

Of course, the premise of all this.

It was he who was able to defeat two competitors and securely sit in that position.

Otherwise, all bets are off.

But when you try, there are always successes and failures.

And Li Zhen wants to be responsible.

it is just:

Sit under the stage curtain and observe silently.

The eldest princess finally chose to go down the mountain.

However, it's not just that.

No one knows what kind of promises and benefits King Huainan has given to the Taoist sect.

For thousands of years, the ancient Taoist sect has been watching the changes in the world and the rotation of dynasties.

In person, end.

On the fiftieth day when the old emperor became seriously ill.

It was also the day after the eldest prince ordered the beheading of the ninth doctor who failed to treat him well.

The capital is in chaos. This has been brewing for an unknown amount of time.

The war for the throne finally started.

But what’s surprising is.

The first person to be eliminated was actually not one that no one from the outside world was optimistic about.

The King of Huainan had no internal support from powerful ministers and no external military support.

Quite the opposite.

Instead, he was the second prince who controlled all the troops in the capital except the imperial army.

Seven Taoist priests walked down from the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Daoting Tower.

A man with a single sword walks in different directions.

One person blocked the army that was heading from the border to the capital.

Although, there are also many martial arts experts in the army.

But when faced with the innate power of Dao Sect, it was still difficult to move even an inch.

In the capital, Zhao Shenyue was the eldest princess.

One person suppressed the military camp, but nothing happened.

The second prince's plan was stillborn.

In shock and anger, he actually made the decision to send someone to assassinate the eldest princess.

Unfortunately, no success.

It's just the assassin who calls himself the Sword Master.

He is very powerful and managed to escape from the eldest princess.

After this, the second prince was completely eliminated.

But he was unwilling to give up the throne to King Huainan, so he took refuge with the eldest prince.

Decide to give it a try.

Among the imperial guards in the palace, five guards were attracted by the eldest prince.

Even if one of the guards is on the side of King Huainan, the remaining three guards must remain on the sidelines.

That advantage is still with them.

Take control of the palace and force the old emperor to abdicate.

As long as the speed is fast enough, King Huainan is just a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump more than a few times.

However, they never expected it.

The secret guards of the Huainan Palace have been placed beside them.

Informed King Huainan of all plans.

That night.

The five imperial guards controlled by the eldest prince opened the Suzaku Gate of the palace and welcomed the two people into the palace.

King Huainan, who had learned the news early, lurked in the dark with his only imperial guard and killed the eldest prince and his party by surprise.

Among them, King Huainan, who was a first-class warrior, took the lead.

Leading hundreds of royal palace secret guards, they rushed straight into the military formation.

The formation killed the eldest prince and the second prince.

This brought an end to the struggle for the throne that had lasted for decades.

The next day.

The old emperor issued an edict to abdicate.

Three days later, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Tianbao.

The old story about Huainan King Zhao Chang killing his second brother in front of Zhuque's gate.

Historically:

The change of seizing the door!

"call."

"Finally, it's out."

The sun is a bit harsh.

The desolate streets are also a bit unfamiliar.

Standing in front of the side door of Huainan Prince's Mansion, Li Zhen felt a little sad after not seeing him for a long time.

After so many years, he finally saw the outside world.

Some unspeakable emotions were brewing in my heart, seeming to burst out.

But with a twitching of the nose, it disappeared.

"Eunuch Chen, just send it here."

Turning around, Li Zhen said with a smile to Xiao Chenzi behind him.

He nodded and smiled back.

"By the way, the manager asked me to explain to you one last time."

"The night there was a fire in the palace, he seemed to see a ball of fire falling to Yong'anfang, which is adjacent to the Qingshui River."

Li Zhen looked startled, and his eyes gradually became sharper.

While keeping these two places in mind, make a seal and bow.

Bang, the door closed.

He turned back and stared at the capital city in front of him, which was completely unfamiliar to him, and suddenly felt a little confused.

Even though I have made many assumptions before.

But it never occurred to me.

He would actually leave the Huainan Palace in this way of being kicked out.

Many considerations came to nothing.

What lies before us is where to go.

"Find a place to settle down first."

Thinking like this, Li Zhen took a step.

"Little Taoist priest, where are you going?"

As I was walking, I heard a strange yet familiar voice in my ears.
