    Chapter 742: End of the peace talks

    [I: It’s easy to force Yongxing to abdicate, but it’s not easy to maintain subsequent stability.]

    Wyking gave his opinion via private chat.

    You natives can’t catch my stunt ah, this is the time you should return a “all we need is an east wind”. Xu Qi’an habitually spat in his heart and sent a message:

    [III: Your Highness is right, Your Highness is experienced, what do you suggest.]

    It was easy to force Yongxing to abdicate. He even dared to kill the Emperor, let alone force Yongxing to abdicate.

    The hard part was how to stabilize the situation and get the court officials to accept the matter and be willing to keep the court running and willing to support him, Xu Qi’an.

    [1: To stabilize the gentlemen first, Wei Gong left behind the team, I have been privately have contacted, to make sure that everything is safe].

    Xu Qi’an’s heart stirred after reading this transmission and then recalling the negotiation process that Huaiqing had just relayed:

    No wonder the Wei Party is surprisingly silent, for the outcome of the negotiations cold-eyed, it turns out that has long been through the gas, behind the back of planning a rebellion.

    “Liu Hong Zhang Xingying Minister of War these old foxes, Huaiqing can suppress them and make them sell out, the art of harnessing people is indeed powerful.” Xu Qi’an transmitted a letter:

    [Duke Wei’s class alone cannot stabilize the court.]

    [1: That’s right, so I hope you can go and convince Chief Minister Wang that uniting the strength of the Wang and Wei parties will be enough to stabilize the court, and the remaining parties will make their own choices based on the situation.

    [Xu Ning Banquet, have you approached Chief Minister Wang?]

    [3: Ah this, I’ve been concentrating on practicing lately and forgot about it.]

    Double cultivation is also cultivation he muttered, thinking of this, one hand holding the fragment of the ground book, one hand dragging Mu Nanjian’s tight and slender small waist, turning her upwards, saving her from slipping down.

    The plump and seductive Flower Goddess, who was nearly forty years old, let out a “wooing” sound and lay on his shoulder, half-asleep, half-awake.

    There was a chi running through her meridians, warm and drowsy.

    Xu Qi’an took a cold bath in the middle of winter for this very reason, to cool down both sides.

    Cultivation? Your cultivation has long since reached its bottleneck, how can you cultivate without pulling out the Demon Sealing Nail Huaiqing frowned, feeling that Xu Qi’an was lying to her.

    [III: I’ll take care of this.]

    With his understanding of Wang Zhenwen and his judgment of the current situation, Wang Zhenwen would definitely choose to cooperate with him.

    First of all, Wang Zhenwen himself is a scholar who has a small loss of integrity, but not a big loss of integrity, if there is a program that can save the country and has quite a lot of hope, he will certainly choose to take the risk of trying.

    Secondly, the Wang family’s young lady and Erlang had a marriage contract, and complicity between in-laws could be much more reliable than a mere ally.

    After receiving Xu Qi’an’s affirmative reply, Huaiqing breathed a sigh of relief and did not ask too many questions, just as Xu Qi’an did not ask her how she managed to get the old foxes of the Wei Party to accompany her in her rebellion.

    It is a trust in the ability of both parties.

    [1: And then there is the issue of military strength. After the operation, I will seize the palace gate as fast as possible and force Yongxing to abdicate. When the dust settles, you won’t have to worry about the forbidden army.]

    The five battalions of the Forbidden Army are loyal only to the Emperor and are only at his disposal.

    Even if she, Huaiqing, had her hand in the sky, it was impossible to turn back all the forbidden army commanders, and it was already incredible to be able to turn back a small portion of them.

    However, although the forbidden army was difficult to turn, it was much easier to pull in the twelve guards of the capital.

    As long as he had Xu Qi’an as a sea pin, Huaiqing was confident enough to take over the palace city in a short period of time.

    [3: What about the attitude of the royal family?]

    [One: The clan now hates to yank Yongxing off the throne and make them recognize the Yunzhou line as the orthodox, which is harder to accept than killing them.]

    After finalizing the details, Wyvern was not without concern:

    [Even if we stabilize the court, when the rebels in Yunzhou finish their rest, Yongzhou still won’t be able to defend itself. Ning Banquet, do you have any ideas?

    Huaiqing prided herself on being intelligent and good at scheming, but the only thing that she thought long and hard about was the matter of chasing down the transcendent powerhouses, and she considered pulling in allies, such as the Compulsion Clan and the Southern Demon, but they were either held back or unable to get out of the way.

    It’s hard to help Daewoong.

    [3: To tell you the truth, Your Highness, I’ve already pulled out the last demonic sealing nail and have been promoted to the second rank.]

    There was silence there for a long time before Wyvern sent a message:

    [You, how did you do it?

    She could not use words to describe her mood at this moment, joy from heaven, bewilderment and incomprehension emotions are very complex, but one thing is certain, that is, she has a kind of dark flowers and a village of the smooth feeling.

    It’s like a traveler lost in the fog who finally clears the layers.

    [Three: You may reveal one or two things to Your Highness, but be sure to keep them secret.]

    Wyvern’s spirit lifted, and he said:

    [Please speak.]

    [3: The one who removed the demonic nail for me was No. 8, who is Asuro.]

    Huaiqing’s eyes froze as he stared at the transmission, nearly failing to grip the small jade mirror.

    Number Eight is Asuro? Yes, number eight has been in seclusion, and Asuro was recently returned to the throne, after Asuro returned to the throne, the Golden Lotus Taoist priest came out of seclusion, and not long after that, it was said that number eight had come out of seclusion, the timing matches . Huaiqing was surprised and chagrined.

    She was still too careless to make the connection between Eight and Asuro.

    “Number eight if it’s Asuro, not only did he help Xu Qi’an promote to the second rank, he himself is a member of the Tiandi Association and belongs to the allies, Da Feng is equal to having two martial artists known for their combat prowess at once, this dark son of Daoist Golden Lotus, revitalizing the whole situation at once, formidable ah .”

    As a good strategist, she thought that Daoist Master Jinlian was not obvious, but was definitely a first-class chess player of the world.

    The most subtle thing about a real chess player is often not the high level of maneuvering in the short term, but rather some nonchalant, but ambling pulse of thousands of miles.

    In this regard, Huaiqing had a list in his mind, and the top of the list was undoubtedly Supervisor Zheng, and the top and scout were Wei Yuan and Xu Pingfeng.

    Now there were two more, one was the Primordial Generation who could still make Supervisor Zheng suffer a great loss five hundred years after his death, and was at the top of the list along with Supervisor Zheng. Daoist Master Golden Lotus, on the other hand, was tied with Xu Pingfeng.

    Then, Xu Qi’an explained to her how Asura practiced the practice of transforming the Three Pure Ones into one, using the split incarnations as the “coordinates” to counter the Buddhist “Four Great Emptinesses” spell.

    Wyvern had no more doubts, no, there was one more doubt:

    Why did Ning Banquet speak to me about this alone?

    But it was hidden from the other members of the Tien-Di Association.

    Because you are the only one who is not socially dead, it is not a big problem to tell you or not to tell you Xu Qi An passes the book to explain:

    After all, this matter requires Asura’s own permission, so I am not at liberty to divulge the hidden secrets of others. But to Your Highness, my humble servant has always poured out his heart and soul, and knows everything.”]

    Huaiqing Mansion, in the study in the late afternoon, Huaiqing sat at the edge of the case, using his hand instead of a pen, and wrote: [I almost believed it…]

    She didn’t pass the message on, erasing it with her fingertips and retyping it:

    [It’s because they all made a big mockery of Asuro in the group.]

    Thought about it and erased it once more.

    Finally a serious book was passed on:

    [This palace knows.

    [III: Your Highness, one last question …]

    Szeto.

    Xu Qi’an stood up from the tub, hands resting on Mu Nanjia’s hips, her subconscious legs hooked tightly around her robust waist, her lotus root arms wrapped around his neck, her head tilted to rest on Xu Qi’an’s shoulders.

    The skin tones of the two, one fair and crystalline and the other bronze, were visually striking.

    He gently placed Munan Gardenia on the bed and retrieved the handle granted to her.

    The Flower God let out a “hmmm” in her slumber, and her delicate and pretty eyebrows were gently wrinkled.

    This woman is more intense than any aphrodisiac poison ah Xu Qi’an reluctantly covered her quilt, and picked up the strings left on the floor, re-wearing them on the frosty and snowy wrists.

    In this way the Flower God went from being the strongest aphrodisiacal poison in the world to being an aunt who makes the heart stop.

    Then, Xu Qi’an took out the Taiping Sword, placed it on the table, and instructed:

    “Keep an eye on your mistress, no one comes in, got it.”

    The Taiping Blade “buzzed” and chirped, conveying the idea of “Understood”.    The Taiping Blade had already grown up, and an ordinary Fourth Grade expert was like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of it.

    Xu Qi’an opened the door and left, her fingertips lightly tracing over the door, applying a strong poison that would paralyze people into unconsciousness.

    The King’s Mansion.

    Wang Zhenwen had just sent away Qian Qingshu, and not long after, the butler quietly came in and reported in the outer room:

    “Master, Xu Yinluo is here.”

    Wang Zhenwen, who was already a bit tired, was energized and hurriedly said:

    “Quick, invite him in.”

    The butler retreated as he was told, and in a moment, the door to the bedroom was pushed open, and Wang Zhenwen saw a young man in a green coat, erect and handsome, walk in.

    Seeing a green dress outside the curtain, Wang Zhenwen’s gaze drifted for a moment, and when he saw Xu Qi’an’s face clearly, he didn’t know whether to exhale a breath of emotion or regret.

    “In that moment just now, I almost thought Wei Yuan had returned.”

    Wang Zhenwen looked at the young man who entered and said with a smile.

    “What is this illness of the Chief Minister’s?”

    Xu Qi’an walked to the bedside and held Wang Zhenwen’s wrist, sensing the pulse while listening with his side ear.

    This. He frowned, Wang Zhenwen’s body, like a machine that had reached retirement age, the parts were aging badly.

    “There are still five failures in celestial beings, let alone an old man who is a mortal?”

    Wang Zhenwen smiled without much concern:

    “The warlock from the Divine Superintendent has come to say that resting and recuperating at ease may bring the withered wood back to life. Outside of this time, there is no other way.”

    Xu Qi’an let out a “hmmm” and secretly sent a few strands of qi to help him revitalize his blood and nourish his qi.

    The Divine Constabulary did have a lot of elixirs, and there were no longer a handful of them that were born dead, and the Human Sect also had a lot of extremely high quality elixirs.

    However, the higher the grade of the elixir, the stronger the medicinal power it contained, which was definitely not something a mortal who had not cultivated could withstand.

    Take the Blood Pill for example, it contains exuberant life force within, but because the level is too high, if a fourth grade powerhouse swallows it, he will not be able to survive ten deaths.

    Therefore, resurrecting a high grade powerhouse might not be too difficult, but resurrecting a mortal without any roots well, since Song Qing had created the Human Body Alchemy, it wasn’t too difficult.

    As long as one has the nine-colored lotus seed that transforms all things, a mortal can be reborn in a shell.

    “The matter of the peace talks, I think you’ve heard about it.” Wang Zhenwen went straight to the point, gazing at Xu Qi’an sitting on the edge of the bed:

    “Tell me honestly with the old man, what are your plans?”

    His eyes burned like a desperate man waiting for his last piece of hope.

    If I tell him that I don’t have any solution, the old chief minister’s last breath may not be renewed At this moment, Xu Qi’an was suddenly glad that he had delayed his visit, if he had finished his discussion with Huaiqing on that day, he would have come to the royal residence to visit the old chief minister.

    Then, the phrase “there is nothing I can do” may make this old man, who is struggling to support himself, fade away.

    Xu Qi’an’s face was serious as he said word for word:

    “I’m in the second grade.”

    Wang Zhenwen’s palms gripped the bedsheets hard, the veins on the back of his hands bulging out one by one, he looked deeply at Xu Qi’an and suddenly let out a loud laugh.

    The laughter was bold and unrestrained, clearing away the gloom.

    He felt a strong sense of confidence from Xu Qi’an.

    He was relieved.

    Xu Qi’an sat silently, waiting for the old First Counselor to finish puking his chest.

    “What’s your plan?”

    Wang Zhenwen slowly collected his emotions and resumed his sophisticated and calm posture.

    Xu Qi’an said bluntly:

    “I want to change the Emperor!”

    Surprisingly, Wang Zhenwen’s face was calm without any surprise.

    The old First Counselor sighed and said:

    “Yongxing is a conservative king who cannot afford to carry this shaky kingdom, even if he successfully solves this peace negotiation incident, if there is a second, third big unfavorable situation, he will still beat a retreat.

    “Sometimes, it’s the trouble from the rear that’s the most deadly. If the imperial court wants to fight Yunzhou for the fate of the country, they must have a stable rear.”

    After a pause, he looked at Xu Qi’an and said:

    “Who do you want to establish?”

    Xu Qi’an didn’t hesitate:

    “Prince Yan.”

    Chief Wang sighed in relief:

    “Good, that’s good, Prince Yan is the first son, born of the Empress Dowager, he ascended the throne in name only.”

    After the two men conferred, the old First Counselor grabbed the bell at the foot of his bed and shook it.

    The butler at the door pushed his way in.

    Wang Zhenwen commanded:

    “Go and invite First Counselor Qian, Minister Sun, and Minister Zhao to them.”

    He gave half a dozen names in a row, all of them Wang Party cadres.

    Xu Qi’an rose obediently:

    “The late generation will leave first.”

    King Knight’s Mansion.

    “Yongxing is confused!”

    When the aged King Li heard the news, he leaned on his crutches, stood up trembling, and even tapped the table.

    Inside the hall, was a group of princes and county kings.

    “If the rebels are orthodox, then what are we? What are the ancestors?” King Yu’s tone was low:

    “His Majesty is too afraid of things, what Yunzhou wants is money, food and land, even if we bite the bullet, I don’t believe that he, Ji Yuan, would dare to really leave the capital.”

    “Who made him emperor.”

    At that moment, someone whispered.

    The princes and county kings twisted their heads to look, and the person who spoke was none other than Prince Yan.

    King Calendar glanced at him and faintly said:

    “Alright, Yunzhou is using its power to oppress people, what can His Majesty do.”

    He swept a glance at the county kings and princes who were full of indignation and said in a deep voice:

    “And now the occasion is to make false pretenses and wait for the beginning of spring. As long as the court eases its breath, everything is fine. As long as our lineage sits on the throne, say he’s black he’s black, say he’s white, he’s white.”

    Despite his heart’s incomparable annoyance with Emperor Yongxing, King Calendar decided to stabilize the clan’s emotions with the greater good in mind.

    The emperor can make decisions on matters of state, but it is not the emperor alone who has the final say in matters of the ancestors.

    The Yongxing Emperor’s decision-making is pushing everyone’s ancestors into iniquity.

    Three days later, the negotiations between Yunzhou and the imperial court ended, and this peace negotiation was exactly at the end.

    Regardless of the attitudes of the middle and lower level capital officials, the people of the capital, and the students of the capital.

    To all appearances, this peacemaking was a done deal.
