"Mr. Lushan," Cai Kun said, looking at Li Ren on the throne, "you are really well hidden! No wonder our internal guards have been monitoring you for so long and haven't noticed anything unusual about you!
"I didn't expect that you were playing a big game underground!"
"Huh..." Li Ren took a long breath and muttered faintly, "Go to the Mysterious to defeat the aliens, and the gods will return to their origin. Cut off the nine sects at the top, and destroy the sycophants at the bottom. Mysterious but with the way, it is infinitely mysterious; mysterious but without the way, it will be inevitable
Suffer disaster!
"I can't believe that even though Empress Lin is still full of energy, my plans for so many years have not come to fruition in the end. Alas... it's sad and sad. When will I, the Li Xuan Dynasty, be crowned the great treasure..."
"So..." Cai Kun asked, "You have worked hard and secretly planned for so many years just to want my emperor to rule personally? You..."
"Sichen Sichen, when will I, Youyou Daxuan, need a woman to rule the world?" Li Ren said bitterly, "The cause of the Three Kings' Rebellion was precisely this woman.
"If she hadn't frequently interfered in the government affairs and brought trouble to the government, why would the three kings rebel?
"And I was almost executed just because I was close to them!" Li Ren said angrily, "That woman slapped the emperor's ear many times and insisted on forcing me to death. Fortunately, the emperor
I have a deep love for my brother, so I escaped a disaster!
"Since then, I have learned a truth. If a tree is big and attracts the wind, if its sharp edge is too exposed, it will be jealous of the forest.
“So, I could only live with my tail between my legs, living cautiously, walking on thin ice.
“I didn’t expect that the emperor’s brother would leave so early,” Li Ren recounted. “Once he left, how could I live a stable life? However, several times I asked to resign, but Empress Lin refused.
"In the end, I was really forced to have no choice but to think of a way to indulge in alchemy to divert her attention and make her completely let down her guard.
"However, although I am terrified, I know clearly that if I don't resist, there will never be a way out. We, the Li family, will never be able to regain the power to rule the world.
"If I don't take action, the world will be handed over to the Lin family. How can we have the face to meet the ancestors of the Li family?
"So, when I decided to retire, I had already thought of a plan to seize power. Queen Lin was too powerful and suspicious, so I had to think of a foolproof strategy and work hard to achieve it.
"I found a substitute in advance and took advantage of my addiction to alchemy to exchange identities with him.
"From then on, he showed up for me and attracted targets, while I hid underground, secretly building my Taoist organization and realizing my grand plan."
"Xuanmen..." Xu Zun frowned and asked, "So...you took advantage of Xuanmen?"
"Yes," Li Ren pointed at the tall Xuandao statue, "The remaining members of Xuanmen have always believed that they are the authentic sect of Xuandao, and they have a deep hatred for Daxuan.
"So, I decided to use them to create an organization strong enough to fight against Queen Lin!
"How about it, Xu Zun, have you ever thought of this," Li Ren looked at Xu Zun and said, "I made up those slogans about conquering the mysterious and conquering the aliens, and the gods returning to their origins!"
"Ah!?" Cai Kun made a sound and said tremblingly, "It turns out...it turns out...you are the Xuanmen Tianzun!!? How...how could this happen?"
"Cai Kun," Li Ren smiled ferociously, "You internal guards have a fatal flaw, that is, you have too much external force and a lack of internal force. From top to bottom, no one really has a brain!
"I think I, the Xuanmen Heavenly Lord, live in this Lushan Duke's Mansion, but you don't know it at all, which shows that you are all brainless people."
"You..." Cai Kun was so angry that his beard trembled, but Li Ren was right. This matter was indeed an oversight by the internal guards.
"You..." Xu Zun was not thinking about this, and immediately asked tentatively, "How did you use Qi Xiang'er?"
"Oh?" Li Ren was stunned suddenly, with surprise in his eyes again, "You...how do you know her name? Oh..." After asking, he thought of something, "It seems that Queen Lin herself told
Is it yours?
"Actually... you're even saying this? Isn't it like her?"
"I know everything about the past grudges," Xu Zun asked calmly, "Now I want to know, how did you take advantage of her?"
"It couldn't be simpler," Li Ren said, "I am not using her, but her hatred for Queen Lin.
"The Three Kings' Rebellion implicated the Qi family and sent them to the desert of Yuanzhou. If Empress Lin hadn't interfered, the Qi family would not have been like this.
"So, of course this unforgettable hatred must be put to good use!"
oh?
Xu Zun's heart tightened. Why was there a discrepancy between what Li Ren said and what Queen Lin said? I don't know which one was lying?
"Oh...it turns out to be her..." At this moment, Cai Kun remembered who Qi Xiang'er was.
"You mean...you went to Yuanzhou Desert to rescue Qi Xiang'er?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly.
"Of course," Li Ren said, "I have a substitute at home, so I can go wherever I want.
"Qi Xiang'er is extremely smart and has the art of refining medicine passed down from her ancestors, so from the very beginning, we decided to use medicine to achieve our big plan!
"So, I secretly funded her and asked her to establish a base in Yuanzhou," Li Ren said, "and at the same time test the ideal medicine.
"Later, we started to train assassins and expand the scale..."
"What about... Lu Jinlong and Ye Hanchen?" Xu Zun asked again.
"The same thing applies," Li Ren said. "They all have a grudge against Queen Lin. I have said that hatred is the best thing to make use of."
"So," Xu Zun asked, "besides Lu Jinlong and Ye Hanchen, are there other princes?"
"Haha..." Li Ren laughed, "You and I are both smart people, so just listen to what I say!"
"Okay," Xu Zun asked, "What about Bi Sheng? He is a person promoted by the Queen Mother. How did you use him? He also has a grudge against the Queen Mother?"
"Perhaps..." Li Ren asked mysteriously, "Did Queen Lin see the wrong person?"
"It's not urgent," Cai Kun said from the side, "Bi Sheng has been captured alive, we will question him personally."
"You have caused such a big incident," Xu Zun asked, "just because you want to assassinate the Queen Mother and let the emperor take charge? But... I was present at the time, but Qi Xiang'er had no intention of killing the Queen Mother!"
"Really?" Li Ren was surprised, "She doesn't want to?"
"Yes," Xu Zun said, "If she had wanted to, your catastrophe would have been successful long ago! But she just wants to take the Queen Mother away and let the Queen Mother have a taste of her."
"It's actually like this..." Li Ren's face showed anger and unwillingness.
In fact, the reason why Xu Zun asked this was because he wanted to take the opportunity to test Li Ren's tone and see if he knew what was going on in the hall at that time.
If you know, it means there are spies above the main hall.
"So..." Xu Zun said, "You misjudged Qi Xiang'er's hatred, which led to the failure of your entire plan."
"Are you really..." Cai Kun also sensed something was wrong and asked Li Ren again, "You just want the Queen Mother to return to power, so you set up such a big assassination incident?"
"What?" Li Ren asked back, "Do you think I have a simpler way? The reason why I want to use Xuanmen to rebel against the party, and the reason why I want to create such a big momentum, is just to let everyone know that it is Xuanmen who
Men assassinated the Queen Mother.
"Only by making such a big noise can I, Mrs. Li, regain control of Daxuan with peace of mind. Otherwise, those children of the Lin family and the princes and ministers will take the opportunity to attack again!"
"Where is the tunnel?" Xu Zun asked, "The underground trench is several feet deep. Is it worth the effort you spent to find out the underground passage?"
"Of course it's worth it," Li Ren said. "If the Xuanmen rebels don't let them know that there is a way out, how can they enter the palace willingly?"
"Mr. Lushan..." Xu Zun thought for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me your plan for the catastrophe in detail?
"How about we analyze it together and see where your problem lies?"
