Dragon's Origin

Wang Sheng is simply a savior! Saying such words at this time is definitely saving the lives of so many people! Now it depends on what the Emperor thinks. If he still feels unsafe facing Wang Sheng alone, then these guards will have to stay.

However, even with so many people, who can be sure of protecting the Emperor's safety in the face of that poisonous gas bomb that can kill six or seven hundred thousand people?

The Emperor originally felt that safety was a problem, but when Wang Sheng's question came up, he realized that compared to whether Wang Sheng would kill him now, the method that could bring misfortune to the royal family from Wang Sheng's mouth was probably the bigger problem. If this answer were known to these guards around him, it seemed that he really had no other way to think of it except to silence them.

To exchange his own noble life for Wang Sheng's alone? Not to mention that the Emperor was unwilling, even Eunuch Li would not be willing. But what if Wang Sheng's idea spread? The Emperor pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and told everyone to leave.

These people had gradually entered while Wang Sheng and the Emperor were sitting together drinking and chatting. They entered very naturally, without any flaws. But the problem was that they all exposed their whereabouts when they stared at the smoke bomb, and were discovered by Wang Sheng.

However, for those people, it was a merit, not a fault. Could it be that they would be punished for exposing themselves because they cared about the Emperor's life? Then would those who had been hiding well without regard for the Emperor's life be rewarded?

A group of people left the inn lobby as if they had been granted amnesty. Only three people were left in the entire lobby: Wang Sheng, the Emperor, and the so-called servant who had accompanied the Emperor from the beginning. This person must be a close minister of the Emperor, and of the kind who is absolutely trusted, otherwise he would not have been left behind.

Wang Sheng believed that there were definitely no other eavesdroppers around who could hear the conversation here. On this point, the old monster Li who came from the royal family was like this, and the shadow old eunuch was also like this, all in the same vein. It seems that in terms of confidentiality of conversations, the experts from the royal family have to take this as a compulsory course.

"Old brother, your business is not ordinary! So many guards." Wang Sheng looked at the guards who were getting up and leaving one after another, and sighed at the Emperor, with a strong smell of alcohol in his mouth, as if this was a sigh after drinking.

"Small business." The Emperor modestly said, "It's still a bit worse than Baoqing Yu Tang(宝庆馀堂: Baoqing Yu Tang, a famous shop) and Yu Bao Zhai(御宝斋: Yu Bao Zhai, a famous shop)."

"That's also amazing!" Wang Sheng praised, and then asked, "Where were we just talking about?"

"We were talking about a friend of yours named Cao Cao telling you about getting to know the great feudal lords and sending troops to the capital." The Emperor reminded Wang Sheng, and then waited expectantly for Wang Sheng's answer.

"Right, send troops to the capital." Wang Sheng squinted and said slowly, "It's always possible to find an excuse, right? For example, someone in our family is missing and suspected of being kidnapped to the capital, and we want to enter the city to search and so on."

"Well, excuses are easy to find." Compared to what follows, excuses are really the most boring thing. Having one just means there's a reason to listen to, and not having one doesn't matter at all. Anyway, troops are already being sent to the capital, so who cares about that? What the Emperor wanted to know was what came next.

"After entering the capital, immediately control the entire city, and control all the civil and military officials." Wang Sheng continued to instruct: "The imperial city is no exception. Anyway, with a large army pressing down and so many experts, the strength of these great feudal lords should be able to overpower the royal family and control it, right?"

"If we don't care about the cost, we can." Although he didn't want to admit it, the Emperor had a clear understanding of his own strength and that of his opponents, and had to give such an answer: "Then what?"

"Then it's simple!" Wang Sheng looked as if the Emperor still didn't understand: "At this point, it wouldn't be difficult to play the game of holding the Emperor hostage to command the feudal lords, right?"

As soon as the seven words "holding the Emperor hostage to command the feudal lords" came out of Wang Sheng's mouth, the Emperor almost jumped up. His back was covered in sweat again, completely uncontrollable.

Even the servant next to him suddenly shuddered when he heard this. You really dare to think!

"With the Emperor in hand, wouldn't the great feudal lords be able to say whatever they want?" Wang Sheng didn't care how scared the Emperor and the servant were when they heard this, and continued to say to himself: "In the name of the Emperor, issue orders to other vassal states. Hasn't the Emperor's prestige greatly increased in the past few years? Some people will always listen to the orders, right? If they dare not listen, then they are disobeying the imperial edict and rebelling, and everyone in the world will be able to punish them!"

"Tell me, with such a method, would Song Tang Qiu Shi Dai(宋唐邱史戴: names of families) or Xia Feng Gan(夏冯甘: names of families) be tempted?" After finishing the previous words, and then asking this sentence, Wang Sheng simply revealed the means to deal with the royal family so simply and clearly, just short of implementing it.

Would they be tempted? Of course! The Emperor knew very well that none of these eight families, whether it was Song Tang Qiu Shi Dai or Xia Feng Gan, was easy to deal with. They had been fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years, countless times. If they knew that they could use such a method to forcibly seize the Emperor's righteousness and then take over other disobedient subjects, I believe that each of the eight families would be eager to try it.

"This, it needs the cooperation of the Emperor, right?" The Emperor suppressed the fear in his heart and asked calmly, "If the Emperor doesn't cooperate, who can command the world?"

"Old brother, has your business made you stupid?" Wang Sheng really looked at the Emperor with the eyes of an idiot. He looked at the Emperor up and down, making the Emperor feel inexplicable, and even the servant next to him almost thought that something was wrong and was ready to attack at any time.

"If the Emperor doesn't cooperate..." Wang Sheng waved his hand and said through gritted teeth: "Then kill him and pass the throne to the Emperor's son. The Emperor has so many sons, just find the most useless and obedient one, let him be the Emperor, let him say whatever he wants, let him do whatever he wants, is that difficult?"

Si, the Emperor took a breath of cold air, and the sweat on his head and body flowed down like a waterfall, obviously frightened by the method that Wang Sheng casually said.

The Emperor asked himself that he still had integrity, and it was impossible for others to control him and make him do anything. But Wang Sheng's side was even more ruthless. It doesn't matter, if you don't cooperate, kill you and replace you with your son. Would his son be as courageous as himself? At this moment, the Emperor suddenly thought of his seventh prince. Others would not dare to say it, but if that time really came, I am afraid that the seventh prince would definitely be the best and most suitable candidate.

At this moment, it was not the Emperor who was most afraid, but the servant who had been guarding the Emperor. Although he was disguised as a servant, he was actually a master on par with Eunuch Li, one of the three old monsters of the royal family. In terms of cultivation, he could easily kill ten Wang Shengs, but now, this legendary master at the peak of the eighth realm or even the ninth realm was trembling with fear and sweating profusely.
