Lonely Immortal

At this moment, in the palace, Li Yuanhong, the imperial master and the empress dowager were all in the palace. Just after the court meeting, Li Yuanhong and others came back to talk about something privately.

At this time, a guard came outside to announce that Bai Feiyan was here.

This moment made Li Yuanhong slightly stunned. Obviously, he did not expect Bai Feiyan to appear here at this time.

"Could it be that she is planning to come and intervene?"

The Grand Master of the Supervisory State showed a hint of meaning. It was obvious that he felt that Bai Feiyan was planning to come over to cause trouble.

Nowadays, the only person who can hinder Li Yuanhong's accession to the throne seems to be Bai Feiyan, the so-called descendant. Don't underestimate the identity of this descendant. Emperors of all dynasties have been required to go through this process. If Li Yuanhong refuses, it is not impossible. It belongs to the royal family. Of course, you can decide things by yourself, but if you say this, it will be very detrimental to the stability of Li Yuanhong's throne in the future.

The people have different opinions on this matter, but the people have no right to interfere at all. At most, they can say what should be done later. Although it is not so meaningful in name, if Li Yuanhong does not directly ascend the throne, Then he cannot lead the government.

Even though almost all the civil servants in the dynasty turned to him, he also knew very well that the generals were almost not on the same page as him. In this case, he had to ascend the throne even more eagerly. Only by ascending the throne could the military power be in his hands, otherwise He also had trouble sleeping and eating.

After all, the prince is a prince, which is different from the emperor. The prince's power is still controlled by all aspects. Li Yuanhong is also very clear about this. Therefore, they can't wait to usurp the throne and ascend the throne.

Now that the matter has come to this, it is naturally impossible for Bai Feiyan, a descendant, to interfere in the government affairs, but how to solve this matter is still up for debate. Therefore, Li Yuanhong temporarily asked Bai Feiyan to wait outside, and they began to discuss the matter here.

"If you ask me, it doesn't matter if she comes. If she knows what's interesting, then that's it. If she doesn't, huh..."

The Imperial Master was as ruthless as ever, planning to take Bai Feiyan into prison or even execute her on the spot if she disagreed.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

The queen immediately came out to object. It seemed that the queen was not useless. She knew that Bai Feiyan was not alone. Behind her was the entire Zhongkendao sect, and Zhongkendao had a transcendent status in the world. Once the royal family executed Bai Feiyan, or offended Bai Feiyan , then the entire Zhongkendao will turn back and attack. Wouldn't that be an advantage to the Second Prince and the others?

The Grand Master of the Supervisory State also nodded and said: "Let her come and see what she says. Also, it is okay to let her do it when it comes to using a sword to determine the world. In the final analysis, it is still okay. Isn't it an elusive and unreliable thing? She said, It doesn't matter if we declare ours, and no one outside knows about it. Even if we know that she did not choose the emperor, we can still take the opportunity to accuse her of disrupting the court and intending to subvert Dayan, accuse her of deceiving the emperor and treason, and then send troops to conquer …”

This Grand Master of the Supervisory State is much more powerful than the Imperial Master. This set of techniques is easy to master, and what he said makes sense. If Bai Feiyan is very knowledgeable, then of course everyone will be in peace, but if he is not knowledgeable, then everything will be fine. It is inevitable to have a sword-to-knife meeting, and the royal family must be famous and stop the public from talking about it in the world.

In this way, it is morally justified. In addition, it also accuses Zhongkendao of deceiving the world and stealing its reputation, completely uprooting Zhongkendao, a sect that affects the succession of the royal family, and also warns the so-called famous families in the world to let them He is also honest and obedient.

This is simply an approach that achieves multiple goals with one stone. Li Yuanhong naturally agreed with this approach, but he still hesitated and said: "Master, it is said that Bai Feiyan has extremely high martial arts skills. If she comes in..."

"It doesn't matter..."

The Grand Master of the Supervisory State waved his hand to reassure Li Yuanhong, and then said: "Just give her poisoned wine. I don't believe she dares to resist. Besides, if she does it, she will be regicide. Then we will have even more reasons. Yes, isn’t she a girl from the Bai family? If we can’t do anything about her, why should we not do anything about the Bai family?”

As expected, the Grand Master of the Supervisory State was very clever, and he thought things through very carefully in a few moments, and his tactics were extremely ruthless. He planned to take control of the Bai family, and then make Bai Feiyan completely submissive.

"Not bad! That's right!"

Li Yuanhong was immediately overjoyed. This was a great opportunity to take advantage of Bai Feiyan.

"If that's the case, why not send troops to surround the Bai family now?"

The Imperial Master is a bit bad, his brain is not very easy to use. Now that the two sides have not shown their cards, he is eager to ransack the house. How can that be done?

Sure enough, the Grand Master of the State Supervisor quickly stopped him: "No, we can't send troops there now. This is inappropriate. Not only can't we do this, but on the contrary, let's summon General Bai first. Hey, the emperor doesn't need to be too humble about what happens next. You should know how to do it, right?”

When Li Yuanhong heard this, his eyes lit up instantly: "Yes, as long as General Bai is promoted and brought over, what else can Bai Feiyan do? She must be a great master!"

At this time, both the Imperial Master and the Empress felt that the Grand Master of the Supervisory State was very powerful. He was worthy of being the Crown Prince and Tutor chosen by the Emperor back then. He really couldn't be the Crown Prince and Tutor if he had no ability. He was quite skilled in playing tricks of power.

But the Grand Master of the Supervisory State smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said, "No, no, Your Majesty, this is not enough!"

Li Yuanhong was stunned when he heard this. Isn't this okay?

"Is it possible that we should make him a Taiwei, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Palace?"

Li Yuanhong felt that the Grand Master of Supervising the State might think that he did not promote General Bai enough, so he should give him a higher official position. Is the official position of Taiwei high enough? Or is it not enough to be the commander-in-chief in front of the imperial army and command the entire imperial army?

"This is not allowed!"

The Imperial Preceptor came out to object, "This post of Lieutenant must not fall into the hands of the Bai family. The Bai family secretly has close ties with the second prince. If he changes his mind even a little bit, we will be in trouble."

"Yes, my father is right. Yuan Hong, you must not give him the post of Taiwei. As for the imperial commander, that's fine. At worst, you can give him a false position."

The queen also came out to object. Obviously, they all knew that the old general of the Bai family had a close relationship with the second prince. It was not easy to win him over. The issues involved were quite complicated and could not be solved in a short while. To completely soothe people's hearts.

Of course, it might be possible if time goes by, but the time is too short. The sword is imminent, and there is not much time for Li Yuanhong to do anything to appease people's hearts.

The current troubles are actually not just about Bai Feiyan, but also about military generals and economic matters. Both of these are in the hands of the second prince and the third prince. Of course Li Yuanhong knows about this. To secure the throne as soon as possible, the second and third princes must be eradicated.

Of course, now that Bai Feiyan is here, the first thing to do is to appease Bai Feiyan. It is best to win over Bai Feiyan and the Bai family. This is the right direction. It can be said that Li Yuanhong is not stupid and knows how to do things.

But there is not enough time at the moment, and it takes time to win over people's hearts. When the Grand Scholar of the Supervisory State saw them acting like this, he couldn't help but smile confidently: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. Wei Chen means that you should simply marry Bai Feiyan." ,stand She is the queen, so wouldn’t the Bai family be completely loyal to the emperor? With the loyalty of the Bai family, other generals will not dare to act arrogantly. When the situation changes, it will be useless for the second prince to deepen his relationship with the generals! "

"In addition, Bai Feiyan's sister Liu Wanwan is also the apple of the Liu family's eye. The minister thinks that she should also be brought into the palace and given the title of noble concubine. In this way, the business as big as the Liu family's business will be with your majesty. With such a great relationship, it will not be easy for the third prince to want to attack you. If other families want to come out to oppose your majesty, they have to think carefully. What does your majesty think? "

The Grand Master of the Supervisory State is really capable. He thought of so many things at once. It seems that he thought of it from the beginning, but only said it at this time. This method should not be improvised.

However, the royal family wants to establish a queen and concubines, which is also extremely important. In addition, the emperor is now ill, unconscious, and may even die at any time. At this time, although the prince Li Yuanhong temporarily ascended the throne, in order to fulfill his filial piety, , he can't hold a happy event at this time, right?

This matter was what the Imperial Preceptor had thought of, and he felt a little embarrassed: "The Emperor is still on the sickbed, so this matter may not be easy to handle. All parties may be shirk-passing. If they shirk the blame, there seems to be nothing we can do."

Yes, if the Bai family and the Liu family both shirk the blame, saying that the emperor is critically ill and it is not suitable for marriage now, then wouldn't Li Yuanhong be asking for trouble?

Therefore, this thing seems to be feasible, but it is not that easy to do. The emperor has appointed marriage, and the ministers cannot disobey it. Most of the world is the king's land, and whatever the emperor says is whatever it is. But others are not completely helpless, and they can shirk the blame instead of rejecting it.

When the time comes, they agree, but if they delay, there seems to be nothing they can do. But now that the emperor is critically ill, Li Yuanhong's marriage must be delayed. The Bai family and the Liu family can make excuses in a high-sounding way, but If the emperor really dies, there is a reason, saying that he has to fulfill his filial piety for three years. Even if three years have passed, they can still give other reasons, such as guarding the imperial mausoleum, etc. What else can Li Yuanhong do?

Is it possible that he has to rush the duck to sell it? That is definitely not allowed. If this is the case, then Li Yuanhong will be known as the Hunjun, which will be extremely detrimental to him. When the second prince and the third prince raise their arms, everyone in the world will come out and rebuke them. Then the second prince If he and the third prince start a rebellion again, what should Li Yuanhong do?

Therefore, the matter is not as simple as it seems, that is, Li Yuanhong forcibly ascends the throne and temporarily suppresses the turbulent second and third princes. There will still be a fight in the future.

"This matter is indeed such a trouble, but please think about it, Your Majesty, if you don't do this forcefully, the trouble will be even greater in the future. When the second prince and the third prince join forces..."

The Grand Master of the State Supervisor felt that this matter must be done. Even if it offends the people of the world and feels that Li Yuanhong is unfaithful and unfilial, it must be done. Now there is no turning back, so it must be done.

His words were naturally very reasonable. The Imperial Master and the Empress also vaguely felt that what the Superintendent of the State said was true. Li Yuanhong hesitated in his heart, because in the end, the name of the Hunjun fell on his head, which left an eternal legacy. Infamy, he is the most unlucky.

What can the Crown Prince and Tutor have? What can a national teacher have? Even the Queen is nothing. Of course, the Queen is now the Queen Mother, what can they lose? But the unlucky one is Li Yuanhong.

If this matter gets out of hand, he will be the one being scolded every day, and he doesn't want people to scold him every day, but what the Imperial Regent said makes sense.

"Let's do this, let Bai Feiyan come in first."

Li Yuanhong was planning to meet Bai Feiyan first to see what Bai Feiyan's attitude was, and then see if he could convince Bai Feiyan. If not, it would not be too late to make a decision.

"Yes, that's right, Your Majesty is right, let's meet her first."

The Imperial Regent also agreed with Li Yuanhong's approach.

So, they summoned Bai Feiyan.

At this moment, Bai Feiyan was waiting outside the palace. She was actually very anxious. She didn't know what happened to her master. If her master was really framed by Li Yuanhong, she would definitely not forgive Li Yuanhong, but she thought that it shouldn't be the case. No matter how bold Li Yuanhong was, he would not dare to kill the king openly, right?

If the old emperor was not assassinated by Li Yuanhong, then the master should be fine. She was thinking about the safety of the old Taoist in her heart. Obviously, there was still affection between the master and the disciple.

Zhang Zhiwen stood by and watched. His appearance did not attract the attention of the guards. These guards could not see his existence at all. It was too easy for a Jindan cultivator to make these mortals invisible.

The reason why the guards found him before was that Zhang Zhiwen did not intend to hide. He would always appear in front of the world. It was impossible to hide all the time, otherwise how could he find clues to leave the hell realm.

However, he did not intend to appear in front of the world at the moment. At least he was lurking for the time being. Of course, he could not be considered lurking. He just stood aside, standing openly, and others could not see him, even Bai Feiyan could not see him.

Bai Feiyan left in a hurry. She forgot what she said to Zhang Zhiwen and what happened to Zhang Zhiwen. She was only concerned about the safety of her master, which was understandable. Zhang Zhiwen naturally didn't care much. This woman was loyal and righteous, and it wasn't a bad thing.

At this moment, a notice came from the palace.

"Announce!... Bai Feiyan enters the palace to meet the emperor——"

The eunuch shouted, and the sharp voice spread in the palace. It seemed that from this moment on, some of the time and space destiny gears in the hell realm began to slowly start. This was a kind of time and space breath that Zhang Zhiwen suddenly felt. He felt that he might step into this time and space vortex, and then the plot was involved.
