This is your world

Capital, Su Mansion.

A figure hurriedly stepped into the courtyard, came to the door of a room, and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

An old voice came from the room.

This figure stepped into the room, bowed and said: "Su Xiang!"

In the slightly dim room, Su Jianan was leaning on the bed, looking down at a military book.

He raised his head slightly and glanced at the visitor: "What's the matter?"

"Xiang Su, something big happened outside the city!"

The person's voice was low.

"Your Highness, he mobilized the dead soldiers and guards in the palace and left the East Palace... Outside the city, the movements of His Highness's troops also appeared."

"Your Highness, I'm afraid there is something big going on!"

The visitor's tone was slightly worried: "Xiang Su, do you want to report this matter to His Majesty?"

Su Jian'an was not in a hurry. He listened quietly to the report of the visitor, his expression not changing much. He glanced at the visitor and shook his head: "No need for now."

There was a look of astonishment on the visitor's face, as if he didn't understand Su Xiang's plan: "Su Xiang..."

"I have my own plan!"

Su Jianan spoke calmly.

"yes!"

Seeing Su Xiang's expression like this, the visitor was frightened.

Su Xiang must know some inside story, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm. Thinking of this, the visitor felt relieved.

"Then over there, Your Highness..."

he asked again.

Su Jianan squinted his eyes slightly, "Have you investigated clearly what His Highness summoned so many people to do?"

"this……"

The visitor hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know yet."

"Go check it out!"

Su Jianan spoke calmly, and then he seemed to think of something, "What day is today?"

Before anyone could answer, Su Jian'an's expression became slightly condensed: "Where is the eldest princess?"

The visitor said in a deep voice: "Today is the death anniversary of the former queen. Princess, she should be at the imperial mausoleum at this time..."

When he said this, the expression on the visitor's face suddenly changed.

He thought of something.

"Go check it out!"

Su Xiang's expression changed slightly. He sat up straight and said coldly: "Send someone to the imperial mausoleum!"

"yes!"

After the servants left, the solemn look on Su Jianan's face never dissipated.

He vaguely guessed Zhao Jing's purpose.

A few days ago, Zhao Jing found him and wanted to get support from him. At that time, Su Jianan realized that Zhao Jing might be planning something.

Until today, until this moment, Su Jianan had no idea what he had realized.

Zhao Jing is probably going to take action against Zhao Ying!

Thinking of this, Su Jianan's face became extremely solemn.

This is not good news!

For him, this is something that is absolutely not allowed to happen. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×If something really happened to Zhao Ying...it would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Su Jianan did not stay in bed, got up and opened the door to the room.

"master!"

The servants outside the door came to greet him.

"Prepare the sedan chair, I want to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"

"..."

Jokhang Palace.

In the Zijin Palace, there is peace and tranquility.

There were wisps of light smoke floating in the hall, like a fairyland on earth.

In the center of the hall, Emperor Jozhao sat quietly cross-legged. Close your eyes tightly and meditate!

Not far in front of him, there were also three Taoist priests sitting.

Several people kept doing the same action for a long time, as if time had frozen at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, Emperor Zhao slowly opened his eyes.

A trace of clarity appeared in his eyes, and his whole body seemed to be breathing out a breath of turbidity, and he appeared to be full of energy.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing this, the three Taoist priests stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Your Highness's cultivation has taken another step closer!"

Emperor Zhao's face showed a bit of joy: "Thanks to the help of several Taoist priests, I was able to achieve today's results."

"I'm just a guide. Your Majesty is able to achieve today's results only because your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor and has outstanding talents..."

Hearing this, the joy on Emperor Zhao's face became more and more obvious.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine!"

At this moment, the eunuch on the side also came over with medicine.

Emperor Zhao took the medicine and swallowed it slowly. Close your eyes and slowly melt away.

Not long after, a glimmer of light flashed in Emperor Zhao's eyes: "I feel full of strength now!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Several Taoist priests blew nonsense again, which made Emperor Zhao feel very good.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, an old eunuch serving Emperor Zhao suddenly came over, walked to Emperor Zhao, bent down and whispered: "Xiang Su is asking for an audience outside the palace!"

The smile on Emperor Zhao's face faded slightly: "Why is he here? Isn't he recuperating? Why is he here again?"

"This old servant doesn't know. Su Xiang said that he has important matters to discuss with His Majesty..."

"Fine!"

Emperor Zhao waved his hand: "Ask him to wait for me in the front hall!"

"yes!"

…

Outside the main hall.

The old eunuch came out and greeted Su Jian'an at the door with a flattering smile on his face: "Xiang Su, His Majesty has a decree for you to wait in the front hall. Su Xiang, come with me."

Su Jianan nodded expressionlessly and was about to leave with the old eunuch.

At this moment, the three Taoist priests walked out of the Purple Gold Palace.

Su Jianan stopped slightly and glanced at the three people, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Then, as if he thought of something, Su Jianan looked back at the old eunuch: "I want to ask you something!"

The old eunuch spoke quickly: "What does Su Xiang want to ask this old slave? But it doesn't matter!"

Su Jian'an glanced at him: "Your Majesty, how is your dragon body lately?"

"this……"

There was a trace of hesitation and embarrassment on the old eunuch's face, as if he was a little entangled.

However, when he met Su Jian'an's cold eyes, the old eunuch sighed: "Your Majesty's body is not as good as you like!"

"Su Xiang also knows that His Majesty was actually injured back then... Although his life was not in danger, he was left with hidden illnesses. In the past few years, His Majesty's hidden illnesses have recurred more and more seriously, and the imperial doctors in the palace tried their best to I have tried all possible methods, but none of them have been able to cure His Majesty’s hidden disease!”

Hearing this, Su Jian'an's head sank: "Your Majesty's health has not improved?"

He naturally knew that His Majesty had been injured back then.

When the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty fought hard. Countless assassins tried to kill His Majesty, but they all ended in vain.

Except that one...

As if he thought of something, a hint of fear appeared in Su Jianan's eyes.

That great master of Northern Qi!

Back then, she entered the Jokhang Palace alone, seriously injuring countless worshipers in the palace, and almost killed His Majesty.

Fortunately, he was rescued by the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army at that time, which prevented him from falling into chaos in Dazhao. But even so, His Majesty was injured, and he has suffered from hidden illnesses that cannot be healed over the years.

The old eunuch shook his head: "That's not true..."

"Since Your Majesty started practicing cultivation with the three Taoist priests, his health has improved a lot."

"Is it getting better?"

After hearing this, Su Jianan not only did not relax at all, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

He has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he even scorned this illusory practice.

If there really are gods in this world, why have we never seen them since ancient times?

Su Jianan was even more skeptical about the possibility of immortality through cultivation.

The origins of these three Taoist priests are unknown, they are mysterious and have ulterior motives.

Since their arrival, His Majesty has become even more uninterested in court matters. He spends all day practicing in the palace and neglecting political affairs.

These people are the culprits.

If His Majesty hadn't favored them, Prime Minister Su would have killed these three demons in the Cholera Court.

Hearing that they actually made His Majesty's health improve, Su Jian'an inevitably became a little suspicious.

The old eunuch had a look of amazement on his face: "Yes, Mr. Su, you don't know that those three Taoist priests are really amazing. The elixir they developed can actually prolong life and strengthen the body!"

"Your Majesty's spirit has obviously improved a lot since taking their elixir. It's amazing!"

The old eunuch is an old slave beside His Majesty, so naturally he is the most aware of His Majesty's changes.

Su Jianan's frown deepened.

I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it.

…

In the front hall.

Emperor Zhao stepped into the hall.

Su Jian'an stood up and said respectfully: "Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"Get back on your feet!" Emperor Zhao waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Jianan stood up slowly.

Emperor Zhao's eyes fell on him: "Ai Qing came to me today. What's the important matter?"

Su Jianan's eyes fell on Emperor Zhao's face, and saw that His Majesty's face was red and energetic, and he was obviously in good spirits.

His Majesty's health seems to be much better than before.

Is this what the elixir does?

Even Su Jian'an was a little surprised. He quickly collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I came to see your Majesty today because of the matter between Your Highness and the eldest princess."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhao was stunned: "Oh? What happened to Jing'er and Ying'er?"

"Did the two of them have another conflict?"

Emperor Zhao was naturally aware of the struggle between Zhao Jing and Zhao Ying.

All this was also ordered by him.

As long as the two of them don't get into too much trouble, it doesn't matter to Emperor Zhao.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Su Jian'an said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, but he has a grudge against the eldest princess. The eldest princess holds the power of the Qin Tiansi and has had many conflicts with the Crown Prince. This time His Highness and the princess are in Beijing The state's overt and covert struggles have made Beizhou even more overwhelmed..."

"Your Majesty, Beizhou is in a critical situation now. Since the beginning of winter last year, there have been disasters in Beizhou and rebels have emerged everywhere. The remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty are secretly manipulating it and trying to come back. Your Majesty, we have to be on guard!"

Emperor Zhao originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard about the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Is there anything else going on?"

"What's the situation in Beizhou now?"

Emperor Zhao looked at Su Jianan.

"The people are in dire straits. This is a critical moment and there is no need to delay!"

Su Jianan said in a deep voice.

A hint of coldness flashed in Emperor Zhao's eyes: "You just said that Jing'er and Ying'er had a conflict in Beizhou. What did you mean?"

Su Jian'an sighed and looked at Emperor Zhao: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince of Dazhao. Although His Highness is not talented, he is of excellent character. He is not said to be a talented person in governing the world, but he is definitely not a mediocre person. . And the eldest princess is even more outstanding. She was a disciple of the former commander of the imperial army beside His Majesty. Her martial arts are unfathomable, her talent is astonishing, and she also holds the great power of Qin Tiansi."

"If the two of them continue to fight, there will be casualties. I'm afraid both sides will be hurt, and others will take advantage of it, which will be very detrimental to me!"

Emperor Zhao squinted his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then glanced at Su Jianan: "As Aiqing said, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty should have made a decision already!"

Su Jian'an held up his hands and said, "Although I am an outsider, I would like to say a few words to Your Majesty about this matter. The eldest princess is indeed excellent, and in terms of talent and governance, she is superior to His Royal Highness in everything. If she were a man, , I think Your Majesty must have made a choice long ago..."

"However, she is a daughter after all, and she cannot inherit the throne. According to the teachings of our great ancestors, there has been no reason for women to inherit the throne since ancient times. Your Majesty also knows this truth, so he made Zhao Jing the crown prince!"

Having said this, Su Jian'an paused again and looked at Emperor Zhao: "Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, so there is no need to worry too much. But if you continue to let it go and let the two of them fight, something big will happen!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"..."

Su Jianan didn't make it too clear.

But how could Emperor Zhao not know what he was thinking?

"Xiang Su, do you want me to take Qin Tiansi back?"

Su Jian'an said solemnly: "The eldest princess's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. She is even expected to reach the top of the martial arts world before she is thirty years old... In addition, Qin Tiansi is now powerful, and the eldest princess holds Qin Tiansi, and she will go to court. Everyone in the hall is almost monopolized by her words. If this goes on for a long time, it will not be a good thing!"

"Then according to what Prime Minister Su said, if I take back Qin Tiansi, who should be in charge of Qin Tiansi?"

Su Xiang's face was startled.

He had never thought about this problem.

Yes, who should control this Qin Tiansi?

With such a powerful organization, His Majesty will never be able to rest assured no matter who he entrusts it to.

As if realizing something, Su Xiang slowly raised his head and looked into Emperor Zhao's meaningful eyes.

At this moment, Su Xiang felt a chill in his heart.

He seemed to realize something. Your Majesty, he might have known about this for a long time.

The existence of Qin Tiansi is to check and balance the power of various sects in the world. It is necessary for Qin Tiansi to exist, and its existence can shock the people of the world.

In these years when the world was becoming less and less controlled by the imperial court, the existence of Qin Tiansi played a role in stabilizing the world.

But because of this, Qin Tiansi's power was huge. Qintiansi, which brings together the world's masters, is a huge organizational weapon.

It is absolutely impossible for Your Majesty to hand this sharp weapon into the hands of outsiders.

Thinking of this, Su Xiang's heart became heavier and heavier.

Your Majesty has known this for a long time.

"this……"

Su Jian'an lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty already has the most, I don't dare to say more!"

"You asked me the question and didn't give me an answer?"

Emperor Zhao shook his head and sighed: "This is not a good question."

Su Jianan said nothing.

This is not a question at all. In His Majesty's mind, he already has the answer.

"I know that one day will come sooner or later. Jing'er is the crown prince of Dazhao and the future emperor. I will hand over the country of Dazhao to him sooner or later!"

Emperor Zhao squinted his eyes and shook his head again.

"But Jing'er's temper is too impetuous, and his ambition is not small. If I hand over Qin Tiansi to him now, I'm afraid..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Zhao glanced at Su Jianan.

This glance immediately made Su Jianan break into a cold sweat.

Your Majesty, did he see something?

"Where are Jing'er, Ying'er and the others now? Come to the palace and see me, Xuan and the others!"

At this time, Emperor Zhao waved his hand and said.

However, Su Jianan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty..."

"I'm afraid, the two of them won't be able to come for the time being..."

"..."
