Li Chengqing closed his eyes and said: "Those who succeed are princes and those who lose are bandits. I have fallen short of success. Why is there any need to talk about this now?"
"The truth cannot be drowned." The Master said calmly: "Some truths may not be important to you, but they are related to other people's lives. Confucianism does not talk about karma, but it pays attention to the past and future generations. You are the great master.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty should take responsibility for what he has done."
Li Chengqing sneered: "Master, are you also willing to take responsibility? Have you done anything wrong in your life?"
"A lot." The master said, "So I am willing to try my best to make up for my mistakes."
Li Chengqing snorted coldly and said nothing.
"If you had not made the wrong move in your many operations back then, the results might have been very different." The master sighed, "If you had really wanted to help the country and save Li Tang from danger, you had not thought about the throne.
, maybe by unintentionally inserting willows and willows, you may really be able to rule the world."
Li Chengqing frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"
"I met the late emperor once before he died." The master said calmly: "Do you know what the late emperor's will was?"
Li Chengqing's face changed slightly and he asked in surprise: "Does he still have a will?"
The master looked emotional and said: "After all, I am his master. It is human nature for master and disciple to meet each other before his death. At that time, he was already very angry and his funeral was imminent, so I used the Great Yuan Pill to forcibly keep him alive for two years.
God’s destiny.”
Qin Xiao thought that with the master's strength, entering and exiting the palace would be like entering a deserted place. He was afraid that even Xiahou didn't know that the late emperor had seen the master before his death.
"What is his will?"
"At that time, he knew very little about things inside and outside the palace." The Master sighed: "He only thought that the prince was safe and sound. He was thinking that the prince was young and would not be able to control the situation if he succeeded to the throne. Therefore, he had a final purpose, which was to prepare to transfer the throne to the emperor.
pass it to you."
Li Chengqing suddenly changed his expression and said in a loss of voice: "He wants to pass on to me?"
"Although he knows that you may not be a good emperor, under the circumstances at that time, you are indeed the most suitable candidate." The master said: "If you can inherit the throne, the world will be settled, and nothing will happen. At that time, nothing will happen.
, Peace in the world is the most important thing. Although he knew that I would not get involved in court disputes, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he repeatedly begged me to assist the prince in successfully ascending the throne, and handed over his edict to me."
Li Chengqing said anxiously: "But you didn't come up with that hand edict. If you had tried your best to help me back then, and with Dao Zun and the Butcher, the Xiahou family would never have been my opponent. With that hand edict, I,
But he ascended the throne smoothly." He stared at the Master and asked: "Where is the edict? Why didn't you take it out from the beginning to the end?"
"Because I value the way of heaven." The master said calmly: "I came to the palace to see him, just to let him know what kind of person he has placed his trust in."
"What do you mean?"
"Ren Shitian and Xiuyi Envoy encountered changes in the palace. You should already know how it happened." The Master said: "Ren Shitian agreed to join hands with you to eradicate the Xiahou family because he knew that only by getting rid of the Xiahou family can the prince successfully succeed to the throne.
.The Embroidered Clothes Messenger never thought of supporting you to inherit the throne from the beginning. Ren Shitian was loyal to the late emperor, the late emperor's prince. When he learned that the prince was murdered, the prince had not yet been born. He only knew that Empress Yuhua was murdered.
The prince was poisoned, but the prince was already infected in the womb. Among the embroidered messengers, there were many masters of poisoning, and they found out that the poison poisoned by Empress Jiehua was the fire-laden poison. There was no cure for the fire-laden poison, and Ren Shitian had no choice but to do so.
Then, I found me."
Li Chengqing said in horror: "He found you? Where were you at that time?"
"I have always been in Kyoto." The master sighed: "When the late emperor was still the crown prince, Ren Shitian served at the late emperor's side. It is natural for me to know him."
Li Chengqing said: "Yes, you and Ren Shitian have both stayed in the Prince's Mansion, so you two naturally know each other." Realizing something, he said: "Ren Shitian's martial arts has improved by leaps and bounds, so that naturally has something to do with you."
"Although Ren Shitian is an eunuch, he is loyal and has a clear understanding of the overall situation." The master said: "He understands loyalty, filial piety, justice, and loyalty to the late emperor. Moreover, he is extremely talented in martial arts. I only briefly understood him back then.
Just confused."
Li Chengqing said: "So you suddenly disappeared from the palace. No one knew your whereabouts, but Ren Shitian knew."
"Ren Shitian knows that I have been practicing Confucianism and Taoism in an academy in Kyoto." The master said: "He learned from your mouth that Xiahou poisoned Empress Jiaohua, and that it was an incurable fire poison. In desperation, in order to
To save the empress and the prince, we can only find me secretly and beg me to help." After a pause, he said: "He can't see the late emperor, and I don't want the late emperor to worry, so I didn't let the late emperor know about this matter. I know.
Although the fire poison caused the empress to suffer painful torture, she knew that she would not be able to kill her for a while, so she set off immediately to find the antidote."
Qin Xiao immediately said: "Didn't Master say that there is no cure for the poison of fire?"
"There is indeed no cure." The Master said: "But all things are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and one thing is suppressed by another. Fire poison is the king of fire poisons. To restrain fire poison, there is a certain medicinal material that can barely control it."
"Qian Ye Man Luo!" Qin Xiao blurted out.
The Master did not show any surprise, as if he knew Qin Xiao could guess it, he nodded slightly and said: "Qianye Manluo was born in the Snowy Mountains, and is the king of cold poison. Although Qianye Manluo cannot be completely exposed to fire poison,
You can fight poison with poison and suppress the toxicity of fire poison."
Qin Xiao's hands trembled slightly.
"Then where are you looking for Qianye Manluo?" Li Chengqing asked.
The master glanced at him and then said: "I have said that all things are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Within ten steps, there must be something to restrain. Fire scoops are produced in southern Xinjiang, so naturally you have to go to southern Xinjiang to find restraining things. Naturally, I have heard that.
However, Qianye Manluo was originally produced in the Snowy Mountains, but was later brought to the Middle Earth and secretly cultivated. Strange poisons in the world are gathered in southern Xinjiang. Although I cannot be sure that Qianye Manluo is in southern Xinjiang, I can only
Let’s go check it out. Fortunately, I was very lucky. After arriving in southern Xinjiang, I quickly found clues to Qianye Manluo.”
Li Chengqing's eyes twitched and asked: "Where did you find it?"
"Actually, you know it very well in your heart." Master sighed: "Except for the Murong clan in southern Xinjiang, who else can own Qianye Manluo? Master Murong dominates a corner, and in southern Xinjiang, how can Murong not have a pharmacist under his command? Murong's command is
, has a secret government office that specializes in researching medicines, and the southern Xinjiang fire poison has naturally been obtained by Murong. It is said that there is no cure for fire poison, but Murong wants to control the properties of all medicines, how can he let the poison in his hands have no cure?
The antidote to the poison? So Murong has been secretly looking for medicinal materials to restrain the poison of fire."
Li Chengqing's eyes showed a cold look as he said: "Murong Changdu is really a capricious villain. He actually handed over Qianye Manluo to you."
"Murong has obtained the Qianye Manluo more than thirty years ago, but no one knows about it." The master said: "I personally came to the door. He learned that I was looking for the cold poison king who can restrain the fire poison. Naturally,
Without any embarrassment, I gave me two Qianyemanluo plants as a gift."
Qin Xiaodao: "Murong Changdu's calculation was very shrewd in exchanging two Qianyemanluo plants for a debt of gratitude from a great master."
"He is just a capricious villain." Li Chengqing's eyebrows were filled with anger, but then he asked: "Since Master has obtained Qianye Manluo, why didn't Jiaohua and her prince survive?"
The Master pondered for a moment, then said: "Although I and the Nanjiang group obtained Qianye Manluo, they did not expect that during this period, drastic changes occurred in the palace. Xiahou and Wei Wuya had already felt the huge threat from the Embroidered Clothes Messenger, so
A trap was set, and Ren Shitian and Xiuyi Messenger were killed overnight. In fact, before that, Wei Wuya was so secretive that even I didn't know that he had become a Grandmaster until that scene in the palace.
It was only after the murder that I was shocked to realize that the Eunuch Wei next to Xiahou had quietly cultivated into a Grand Master."
Li Chengqing's eyes were full of resentment, and he said: "This is also a mistake on my part. I didn't expect Wei Wuya and Xiahou to be so insidious. Xiahou and Wei Wuya suddenly took action, and Ren Shitian and Xiuyi Messenger were killed. I
The king then knew that the carefully laid plan was completely ruined. He did not allow Shitian and Xiuyi Messenger to control Xiahou in the palace. Even if Dao Zun and Butcher succeeded, they would not be able to control the palace. There were two great masters in the palace, Wei Wuya and Yuan Fenjing.
After the Yi Messenger was executed, the palace was full of Xiahou's followers. Dao Zun and Butcher also knew that they could not change the overall situation, so the plan was suspended." There was a look of reluctance in his eyes: "Hong Tianji saw that the situation was not good, and even hid from me.
, I am afraid that this king will involve him."
"So you knew that the situation was over and that Xiahou's strength was far superior to yours and you couldn't compete, so you came up with a plan to fake your own death to escape." Qin Xiao sneered: "You used the lives of dozens of people in Prince Qing's residence to cover up the truth that you faked your death.
, Li Chengqing, in your dreams in the middle of the night, did you ever dream of the miserable appearance of the family members of Prince Qing’s Mansion?”
Li Chengqing said sternly: "Who is to blame for all this?" He stared at the master and said: "Even if the embroidered messenger is executed, as long as you can step forward, Li Tang still has a chance to reverse the situation. You said that the late emperor left a legacy,
Why don't you show it? Xiahou's imperial edict is a forgery, but your hand edict is real. Why don't you show it? If you assist me, Dao Zun will not avoid you. I have three great masters.
Please help me, and your wife was once the crown prince. In this way, I will definitely win, and the Li family will not end up like the Manchus who were executed." There was hatred in his eyes, and he looked directly at
Master, said: "You are sorry for the Li family, and you are even more sorry for the late emperor!"
