Chapter 1775 Secret talks in the East Palace!
Hearing Chen Changsheng's relenting words, Xing Piaopiao immediately said aggrievedly, "Sir, I am loyal to you!"
"I don't deny your loyalty to me, but I also don't deny your fear of Tie Yunpeng."
"If one day Tie Yunpeng threatens you to betray me, will you remain loyal or succumb to fear?"
Faced with Chen Changsheng's question, Xing Piaopiao didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at Xing Piaopiao who was kneeling on the ground and said softly.
"Kneel down properly!"
"If you kneel now, at least you can survive. But in the future, even if you smash your head, you may not be able to save your life."
"The situation in the capital is very complicated. You, a small fry, are trying to stir up trouble. Don't you consider whether you have the ability to do so?"
"Grand Master Pang didn't say a word at the banquet today, and Tie Yunpeng was even more submissive."
"You think the legendary great man is just like this, but in fact the biting dog never barks."
"If you can't figure this out, just keep kneeling!"
After saying that, Chen Changsheng turned and left, leaving Xing Piaopiao kneeling alone.
Looking at Chen Changsheng's back, the fear from half a month ago came back to his mind again.
If she was only afraid of Chen Changsheng's strength before, now Xing Piaopiao was afraid of Chen Changsheng's ability to see through people's hearts.
During the half month of getting along, Xing Piaopiao found that Chen Changsheng was not as difficult to talk to as she had imagined.
As time goes by, I gradually forget my previous fears and start to have some unnecessary thoughts.
But what is frightening is that Chen Changsheng knows everything clearly before these little ideas are put into practice.
......
East Palace.
"Teacher, who exactly is this Chen Changsheng?"
"It's so easy for the Duke of Zhenguo to hand over the four continents. You know, that was the base camp that the Duke of Zhenguo carefully built!"
The young man dressed in the prince's attire had a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
However, unlike the prince's impatience, Master Pang beside him was drinking tea slowly.
"Prince, please be patient!"
"It was not Chen Changsheng, but Your Majesty, who ordered the State Guardian to leave the four continents."
"Three thousand years ago, Your Majesty advanced in his cultivation and his lifespan was extended."
"In this case, Your Majesty will naturally take back power."
"The Duke of Zhenguo, who controls half of the military power in the world, must be your Majesty's primary target."
"It's a pity that Tie Yunpeng is too cunning. He has been hiding in the capital for the past three thousand years without moving at all, and Your Majesty can't find his flaws."
"Now that Chen Changsheng has provided an excuse, Your Majesty must give Tie Yunpeng a good beating."
Hearing this, the Crown Prince was puzzled and said, "If the Emperor wants to punish us, then let him do it. Why should we help Tie Yunpeng?"
Looking at the prince with confusion in his eyes, Master Pang said lightly.
"Prince, the Great Song Dynasty is a dynasty of cultivators, not a mortal power organization."
"Compared to mortals, the heir to the Song Dynasty is far less important than the heir to a mortal power."
"Because our Majesty can live for a long time, if a prince dies, another can be born, and if a crown prince dies, another can be appointed, but there will only be one emperor."
"Tie Yunpeng firmly controls half of the world's troops, and many generals in the army were promoted by him."
"If he rebels, the Song Dynasty will be in real danger."
After receiving this answer, the prince said, "If that's the case, then there's no need for us to help him."
"My last name is Zhao, why should I help an outsider?"
"Your Highness has no reason to help him now, but has your Highness ever thought about who will be the next unlucky person if Tie Yunpeng falls?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the prince was stunned where he stood.
"Teacher, are you saying that the emperor will attack me?"
"Prince, I have just said that the heir to the Song Dynasty is not as important as the heir to a mortal power."
"Your Majesty is very vigorous and has a long time to live. You may not be able to outlive him."
"If you were still on the throne of Crown Prince when your life was almost over, do you think His Majesty would become suspicious of you?"
"Or perhaps you really want to stay on the throne of Crown Prince for the rest of your life."
As he finished speaking, the prince's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Teacher, what you just said is a crime of great disrespect. If the emperor knew about it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect you."
Upon hearing this, Master Pang glanced at the prince and spoke calmly.
"Prince, from the day I became your tutor, my fate has been tied to yours."
"If anything happens to you, I won't end up any better."
"If your majesty passes away, I will be the best person to protect you. If your majesty lives longer, you will be the reason for your majesty to eliminate me."
"When His Majesty asked me to be the Prince's tutor, he had already thought of a foolproof plan."
"So today's situation is naturally within your majesty's expectations."
Looking at the calm Master Pang, the prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Teacher, am I really so unbearable in your eyes?"
"Although the Crown Prince's abilities are not the strongest, he is still the best among all the previous princes."
"But unfortunately, the Song Dynasty existed for too long."
"Countless bureaucrats are entrenched in collusion. The Duke of Zhenguo and I suddenly appeared, becoming two huge mountains weighing down the heads of all the princes."
"If His Majesty passes away one day, the new prince will not be able to resolve the current situation."
Hearing this, the prince also understood what Master Pang meant.
"Teacher, I think I understand what you mean."
"Father has long ago made two preparations. If he fails to break through, you will be the one who protects the next emperor and ensures his smooth ascension to the throne."
"With you in charge, the Duke of Zhenguo won't cause any trouble for a while, and officials of all ranks will obey the new emperor's orders smoothly."
"But if I succeed in breaking through, my father will force me to rebel and eliminate you and the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Without you and the Duke of Zhenguo, there won't be so many obstacles for the next crown prince to ascend the throne."
"That's right!"
"Your Majesty, this is a win-win move. If we want to survive, we have no choice but to do our utmost to win this situation."
Looking at the expressionless Master Pang, the prince was silent for a long time.
"Teacher, do you think Tie Yunpeng can withstand this impact?"
"It's hard to say. Chen Changsheng is very meticulous and doesn't seem like an ordinary person."
"But Tie Yunpeng is not someone you can easily mess with. He won't give up the Four Continents so easily."
"I am a civil official, and he is a military commander. Only when the war breaks out again will his role be brought into play."
"If I'm not mistaken, he's going to start a war so he can escape from the prison of the capital."
"It's true that Chen Changsheng is a new sharp blade acquired by Your Majesty, but he is also the key to Tie Yunpeng's escape."
"So our next move is crucial. We must cause chaos among the three parties. Only then can we reap the benefits!"
