The priest is very tired

"I just got an interesting piece of news." Xiuhe took off the cloak on his body, smiled and shook his finger at Lu Zhixuan: "Master, why don't you come and guess who it's related to?"

On Lu Zhixuan's desk were a lot of distribution maps of Beijing-China power relations, he was a little annoyed seeing that, seeing Xiuhe's teasing smile, he said helplessly: "It's nothing more than news related to Linghu, you don't have to get it every time All his news talk to me like this." Ever since he knew about the entangled "love affair" between Lu Zhixuan and Linghu Yu, when Xiuhe saw Lu Zhixuan, he always had to mention a few words.

"This time it's really interesting." Xiu He didn't mean to make him laugh at him, it was purely a fact. "The leader didn't tell me before, I'm afraid I can't find out some secrets about the royal family, but the leader gave too much information, and some things were dug up by my people."

Qu Jinqing was drinking tea in Lu Zhixuan's room. He was a little interested when he heard the words, and asked, "Isn't it true that the Western Demon Cult has not established a foothold in the Central Plains yet? When did you even build up an intelligence network? It's still here where there are so many eyes and ears, and it's hardest to see the stitches." Looking for things in Kyoto?"

"After the leader rescued me, he revived my teaching and arranged for me to act in the Central Plains. Our power is still a bit too small in the eyes of these behemoths in the Central Plains. At the time, the teaching was not really in the hands of the leader, but the Central Plains It is also an extremely important part of the leader's plan, so we chose a prince to develop our own intelligence network on top of his original intelligence system."

Qu Jinqing, although he has a black belly, is actually very displeased with intelligence and planning, so he came to the capital this time just to watch the excitement, not to help Lu Zhixuan.Although he has a good mind, he still doesn't want to touch these messy things.

Hearing what Xiuhe said, he couldn't help but light a row of candles for the prince they had chosen. "The person you chose is the Ember King?"

"Yes." Xiuhe began to analyze calmly. "The first emperor had six princes and one princess. The first prince died of illness early on, and the second prince is now His Majesty. The third prince is titled Xiaoyao Wang. He has been wandering around and hasn't returned to Beijing for several years. They are not considered. Five The prince's fiefdom is located in the south, although he is quite ambitious, but the connection is quite troublesome. The seventh prince, King Xiong, has always been rumored to be in poor health, and it is difficult to live a long life. He often stays in bed for a year, so it was not within our consideration at the beginning. "

"Although Princess Wen Yin is favored in Beijing, she is actually restricted a lot. There are only four princes who have ambitions, means and preparations." So it is most suitable for use as a trap.

"So, King Jin's intelligence system is now completely under your control?"

Lu Zhixuan sneered and said, "There is nothing better than this to lure wolves into the house."

"Don't speak in such a tone." Qu Jinqing said leisurely: "It makes you look like a big villain."

"I think I've been doing villain things." Lu Zhixuan waved his hand: "The topic has been diverted. You just said that you found out some secrets about the royal family?"

"The leader also said that the late emperor cheated his death. According to the late emperor's love for His Royal Highness, why is the current majesty the one who succeeds in the end? Isn't the leader curious?"

Lu Zhixuan clicked his tongue, and said: "I can guess, probably because Linghu doesn't like it." He pondered for a while, and said: "I remember that he and the late emperor were very at odds, it seems that because of the late emperor's fraudulent death and some Things have caused some conflicts between the two."

"Then what I found out should be correct." Xiuhe put a letter on the table, and said, "The late emperor planned his death in advance, and prepared a will before he died. According to the words of the leader, we It can be boldly guessed that it should have been written on the original edict that the king should inherit the throne."

"But Linghu didn't want to, so he got the will, but didn't announce it." Since it was a bold guess, Lu Zhixuan reasoned according to his own ideas. "Instead, he chose to join hands with the current emperor. He helped the second prince to succeed him, but he wanted his freedom, and then he turned to join the rivers and lakes. If there is a change in the court situation and there is a need to kill someone secretly, the Demon Cult will act. The current His Majesty can't touch him, because once the edict in his hand is taken out by him, His Majesty's throne will not be justified."

"When the late emperor passed away suddenly, the royal family did not announce the will, and the several princes fought for the throne several times, all of which can be found." Xiuhe said with a sullen face: "It's just that no one thought that there would be such a will. , His Royal Highness is hiding it deeply enough."

"He should have experienced several fights because of this will." When he mentioned this, Lu Zhixuan remembered.Linghu Yu said that it was the first time he had seen countless assassins like Lu Zhixuan.He didn't think about it at the time, but now he thinks about it.

The Demon Cult is very mysterious in the Jianghu. Although Linghu Yu is the leader of the Demon Cult, very few people know his name, and even fewer know his appearance. Sending people to kill him is probably only the top level of the Wulin League. .But Duan Qiqian is not the kind of person who thinks about killing people all day long, and he will not be so stupid as to let assassins go on killing people.

Excluding the options in the rivers and lakes, then Linghu Yu will encounter an assassin, which is naturally brought by his other identity, the king.

How could a prince who was known to be sick and weak, and whose name was not known to anyone who was not in the royal family, be assassinated for no reason.

Careful scrutiny of these details can be linked to their current speculation.

"So?" After listening to the brainstorming between the two of them, Qu Jinqing asked, holding his chin in his hands: "What can you gain from knowing these old things?"

Xiu He looked at Lu Zhixuan, and said: "Of course it is useful if you gain something, it just depends on the leader, where you want to use it, and whether you can use it."

"Let's reveal this news to King Jin." Lu Zhixuan once again looked at the layout map of the situation on the table. "Give him some of our speculation. I think if he is not stupid, he will go to Linghu."

"How to say?"

"King Jhin wants to usurp the throne with all his heart, but now he has no strength and no reason for cavalry. How can he overthrow the current emperor for no reason?" Lu Zhixuan rarely smiled. "With this edict, it will be much easier. He doesn't even need to know what is written in the edict. As long as he joins forces with Linghu Yu, he can use the edict to slap the emperor in the face."

"But he wouldn't be surprised why Linghu didn't want that seat despite his will?"

"Of course it will be strange, but he will make up excuses for King Jin himself." Xiuhe had been advising King Jin for a long time, and he still thought he knew the character of this person. "Some people are desperate for one thing, but naturally they don't realize it, and some people avoid these things."

"He can think whatever he likes. I just provided him with a way to rebel. It's up to him whether to go or not."

"What if he really went to find Linghu Yu?" Qu Jinqing was a little puzzled: "What will Linghu Yu do?"

"Two possibilities." Lu Zhixuan stretched out his finger. "One, let's just kill him on the spot. Do you save such a bad idea for the festival? Two, agree to his plan, cooperate with him on the surface, and actually set up a situation with the emperor."

"King Jin has worked hard over the years. No matter whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, he has his influence. Smart people will choose to continue this rebellion and dig them out. Only by pulling out the roots of cancerous tumors will it be effective." Xiuhe He spoke as if the object he was talking about was not the Lord he was loyal to.

Ah...not at all.

Qu Jinqing took a turn and understood the story. "I understand. In this circle, the most pitiful and deplorable person is the Ember King. Being used by you, Linghu Yu, even my own father, actually meant to use him."

"Actually, as long as you don't fight, it's very easy to be a happy prince like the third prince." Xiu He said the truth slowly. "It's a pity that what someone wants in this life is always so out of reach."

"I'm starting to be a little curious." Qu Jinqing stared at Lu Zhixuan's think tank: "What is your identity, and what is your identity in this situation? An ordinary character will have a lot of respect for the court and the court. Do you understand these things so well?"

"It's just a commoner." Xiu He flicked his sleeves. "If the leader is fine, I'll go down and arrange the affairs of King Ember."

Qu Jinqing watched Xiuhe leave, and looked at Lu Zhixuan.

Lu Zhixuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he sat down helplessly and said: "Don't ask him about his past in front of him, he won't bring it up."

"Oh? I've always been wondering, how could you have anything to do with him? Also, the name Xiuhe is not real, is it? Normally, who is called this name."

"Actually." Lu Zhixuan said rather helplessly: "The person I fell in love with back then was not Tuoba Kuilang. That guy can only be ranked second, and the person I really want to be the emperor of Xiye Kingdom is Tuoba Xiu. He is the eldest brother of Tuoba Kuilang. Although he is the eldest prince, he was disliked by the previous king because his mother was a Han Chinese and his appearance did not inherit the Xiye gene. I originally wanted to join forces with him, but he was on the verge of death due to poisoning. After I rescued him, he rejected my proposal and did not want to stay in Xiye Country any longer, and recommended Tuoba Kuilang to me."

"So you rescued him, sent him to the Central Plains, and let him plan for you in the Central Plains?"

"That's right. In fact, I don't regard him as a subordinate, but he thinks he owes me a life, and he has a life-saving grace. He can't repay him, so he can only serve as a weapon in my hand and help me in my plan."

"It's as if you want to unify the two countries, but it's just a world."

"Yeah...it's just a world."

"..." Qu Jinqing couldn't see his unhappy look. This guy has recently lost his lovesickness, and he always looks like I am sad and thinking. Qu Jinqing is not used to Lu Zhixuan like this. .

His good friend is straightforward and self-willed when he doesn't use his mind, and he thinks that every time he comes out, he is a person who is willing to do anything for the things he likes.But once he gets his head around and starts to be serious, it is definitely a typical example of people blocking and killing Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas. Nothing can stop him from doing what he wants to do.The person who has always been in a hurry and high spirits has become what he is now...

"To be honest." Qu Jinqing knocked on the table: "If you miss him, go see him. What are you struggling with here?"

"He hasn't entered Beijing yet." Lu Zhixuan sighed, and said helplessly, "I don't want to feel sad here, but I really don't know how to meet him. I have done a lot this month. With the speed of teaching, it will take less than a month to find out my identity. He should now know who I am..."

Qu Jinqing was silent for a while, and he also knew that the two of them were in a state where someone needed to take the initiative to attack. Seeing Lu Zhixuan's mind was full of chaos, he knew that the person who took the initiative was definitely not him.So Qu Jinqing stopped talking, he opened the window and said, "There are still five days until the Tianqing Festival, will there be any activities then?"

"On the day of Tianqing Festival, every household will perform sacrifices, and the royal family will also sacrifice to the heavens in those years. In Kyoto, the lights will be brightly lit three days in advance, and there will be temple fairs and celebrations. Then I will take you out for a walk."

"Don't say it as if you are the host and I am the guest... You have never been here before."

"You will die if you don't dismantle my platform!"

"probably."
