Four Elephants

()[Why is he called Yuan Shengtai, uh, the original ecology. . . . . . 】After Yuan Shengtai’s explanation, Yi Tian then learned that Lingyun Mountain would organize new disciples to compete in martial arts every year, and then send the top five winners to the Qingyun Royal Family to serve as the captain of the imperial guards, responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family members .

Why not choose those old disciples with outstanding strength to take on this task?

This is mainly based on various considerations. First of all, generally speaking, new disciples have not fully integrated into the internal life of Xianmen, and have not personally enjoyed the benefits brought by Xianmen. Generally speaking, the position of captain is more desirable. After all, the captain of the imperial guards is well paid, and once he gets in touch with members of the royal family and is valued, he may stay for a long time and become a member of the imperial court. .With such benefits, who would want to cultivate immortals?The life of a fairy is not necessarily as wonderful as being an official...

Another consideration is that although the Qingyun Royal Family has close ties with Lingyun Mountain, they also want to cultivate their own power, and the selection of these new disciples to the past satisfies the needs of both parties.On the one hand, these people were Ling Yunshan's disciples in name, and they had to follow Lingyunshan's call; on the other hand, these people were innocent, so they could easily be won over by the royal family and completely became their confidantes.But those old disciples are different, most of them are relatively high-level and arrogant, one is that they don’t want to endure the red tape of the court, and they don’t want to obey other people’s orders. The good thing is that I don't want to leave at all, so the old disciple is absolutely unwilling to do this.

For these reasons, when selecting personnel to go to the royal family, only newcomers can be used.The newcomers are good and bad, so they have to be selected, so they have to compete.The time for the competition is set at the end of September every year, and it is called the "Mount Worship Conference".The disciples who are new to the mountain gate must first worship the mountain, and then they can enter the hall and room, which sounds reasonable.

"Some of these disciples who serve as captains of the imperial guards will return to Xianshan to continue their practice after the expiration of one year, while some will be left for long-term use. Some of them will eventually even become elite soldiers with tens of thousands of soldiers in their hands. General." Yuan Shengtai said here, glanced at Yi Tian and said: "However, this is not what you have to do, what you have to do is to win the position of the head of the imperial guard. Of course, in this process, I I will help you behind the scenes, but your own strength is also very important, even your performance in dealing with things and others is very important. Of course, the most critical condition is to gain the trust of the emperor, otherwise you will never get it. This position, no matter how strong your strength is. You must know that this chief bodyguard is basically the emperor's personal bodyguard. He is the only one who can freely enter and leave the palace without notification. Such an important role, do you think the emperor will easily hand it over to someone?"

Hearing Yuan Shengtai talking about the emperor of Qingyun Kingdom, that is, Yuan Shengtai's father, who didn't have the slightest kinship, as if he was talking about a stranger, Yi Tian felt curious and couldn't help but look at him a few times.

"Do you think I don't have any family affection?" Yuan Shengtai had a delicate mind, and he accurately captured the expressions on Yi Tian's face.

"A companion is like a tiger, and there is no father and son in the imperial court." Yuan Shengtai raised his eyes to the top of the cave, and said leisurely: "Where you go in the future, you will naturally understand my difficulties. Hey——"

With a long sigh, Yuan Shengtai continued: "Do you know why I let you win this position?"

"Well, this position is very important, and it must be related to succession," Yi Tian frowned.

"Yes, as long as you hold this position, you can advance and retreat freely. First of all, you can speak well of me in front of the emperor, and at the same time slander the prince, try to make the emperor depose the prince and re-establish me. Once you establish me, we will If I don't do anything, I will do that old guy, and then I will be justified and inherit the rule!" Yuan Shengtai said here, the corner of his eyes showed a cold light, and Yi Tian was also shocked when he heard it.

Father killing, such a rebellious thing, Yuan Shengtai said it easily, which really surprised Yi Tian, ​​and his intuition was like the first day he knew Yuan Shengtai.

"Of course," Yuan Shengtai said here, sneered, eased the atmosphere, and continued: "This kind of behavior can only be done when he is forced to do nothing. The old man in my family has been drinking too much in recent years. His health has been failing for a long time, and I don't think he can live for a few more days. So, as long as I can become the crown prince, the throne is basically mine for sure."

"You want to be an emperor so much? What's so good about being an emperor?" Yi Tian was puzzled.

"I'm not in the position, I don't understand the pain," Yuan Shengtai smiled lightly, without answering Yi Tian's question specifically, just looked at him and said, "Do you want to help me?"

"Hang, since I promised you, I won't go back on my word. Say what else to do." Yi Tian has already felt that this matter will never be so simple.

"Currently the prince of Qingyun Kingdom, Yuanqin, is 32 years old and has been the prince for more than five years. The third princess of Yuesheng Kingdom married by the prince's concubine has a son and a daughter. He is a perfect person. He lives happily, hehe—— "When Yuan Shengtai said this, he sneered, and a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes again.

"Your task is to find a way to get rid of this person. As long as he gets rid of him, the old man will only have my son left. At that time, the throne will definitely be mine," Yuan Shengtai said, looking up at Yi Tiandao : "Have you ever thought about how to get rid of this person?"

Hearing Yuan Shengtai's words, Yi Tian felt strange again, because he felt that when Yuan Shengtai mentioned Yuan Qin, he seemed to be talking about a stranger, or even his enemy, but for his biological elder brother.

"I don't know how to get rid of him, I just listen to you." Yi Tian had no choice but to respond.

"First of all, it's impossible to assassinate him. He's not like me. He's a prince, and there are a lot of masters around him to protect him," Yuan Shengtai snorted again when he said this, and then squinted and said: " However, these masters were also sent by the old man. In the final analysis, they were controlled by the old man, so the only person they listened to was the old man. Of course, it is not ruled out that some of them have been bought by him, but it must be just A small part, otherwise, must have been replaced by the old man long ago. The old man is suspicious and is guarding against him."

Hearing this, Yi Tian felt a little depressed. He couldn't understand what kind of people these fathers and sons and brothers in the imperial court were. He even suspected his own son, and this elder brother was planning to kill him. And father, what kind of people are these people?How could they be like this?Yi Tian was puzzled.

"So, if you want to get rid of him, the best way is to frame him for treason, and then get an imperial decree from the old man to uproot him and destroy the whole family, hahaha——" Yuan Shengtai rolled his eyes Guang, talking and talking, couldn't help laughing excitedly.

Yi Tian was terrified when he saw it, and he really didn't know whether Yuan Shengtai was bewitched, or it was just his nature.

"Of course, the old man may also think about the relationship between father and son and give him a chance to defend himself. In that case, your position will be able to play a role at that time. Kill Yuanqin first and then play it out, and directly punish Yuanqin for the crime of treason!" Yuan Shengtai said coldly.

"Huh—" Hearing this place, Yi Tian only felt suffocated and breathless. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "If you become the emperor, will you be a good emperor? You will love you sons of the

"Hmph," Yuan Shengtai snorted coldly when he heard Yi Tian's words, looked up at him and said, "That's not something you want to consider!"

Immediately, perhaps realizing that his tone was a bit harsh, Yuan Shengtai quickly softened his tone and said: "Of course I will be a good emperor, not only will I love my people, I will also take various measures to reduce their taxes, so that they The common people live a happy and happy life. You can rest assured about this."
