"Master Ding is exhausted and has gone to bed early."
Li Zhi smiled knowingly, and his heart felt warm when he thought of Jade Butterfly. In fact, he didn't care what the secret text of Jade Butterfly was? If it was proven that he had usurped the throne and seized power, he would just kill Ding Hui, take the opportunity to stir up trouble, and let Taiwei Pang launch a rebellion and annihilate him in one fell swoop. But I didn't expect that my father had already understood everything. He was his father's expectation to be the emperor.
"Since everything has not deviated from the plan, let's act according to the plan. Lord Bai Ya, please leave the palace and go to the Shenwu Army barracks. Cooperate with Zhao Zhizheng to shock the army and collect the Shenwu Army military orders."
"Follow the order."
"Let Young Master Jiang accompany you, and everything will be safe."
"Well! Your Majesty is also in danger here. I have made arrangements. Young Master Jiang will stay to protect Your Majesty."
"Don't worry about me, I have my own trump card, stand down!"
Bai Ya didn¡¯t say much and simply left. After she left, the old Taoist priest who had been by the emperor's side but was missing appeared.
"What's going on with the enemy? Master Wuji!"
"There are five people on Taiwei Pang's side. They should have the ability to characterize the internal force."
"who are they?"
"I've never heard of them. They look like nomads outside the Great Wall. I don't know about the others."
"Where's the Puppet Master?"
"He hasn't shown up yet, so he should be waiting for the opportunity to take action on His Majesty's side."
"There should be some white smoke."
"He is in the direction of the military camp. Whether it is to deal with Bai Ying or to use his ability to live poison, the Shenwu Army camp is the best choice."
Emperor Li Zhi thought for a moment: "There should be nothing missing. After this matter is over, I will abide by the agreement and establish Taoism as the state religion, canonize you as the Taoist Celestial Master, and make Quanzhen Sect the largest religion in the world."
Wuji lay his head slightly, and Emperor Li Zhi ordered again: "Send the rest of the newcomers out to explore the actual status of those eight levels of martial arts."
"Yes!" Layman Wuji agreed. Then he remembered something and said seriously: "Gu Nantian has thousands of elite soldiers, which is a problem."
"If Gu Nantian is dead, there won't be any trouble."
"Shall I go?"
Emperor Li Zhi smiled and said nothing.
¡¡
Gu Ming was at Gu Nantian's place, sipping tea with Gu Nantian.
"This tea is good. You came to Jizhou that day and gave me some as a gift. I fell in love with it and kept drinking it. Do you remember the name?"
Gu Ming thought for a moment: "I really forgot."
Gu Nantian frowned and asked again: "When I was a child, I was injured while practicing martial arts, but you were so scared that you cried. Do you remember where I was injured?"
Gu Ming thought again: "After becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, my memory has declined due to many chores."
"When you were in Jizhou, there was a girl you liked in Yihongyuan. Do you remember her name?"
"I don't remember."
Gu Nantian put down the tea and said seriously: "I was testing you, but you didn't answer the question."
"It's just a trivial matter, how can I remember it clearly? What happened to my brother?"
Gu Nantian sneered and told the truth: "There is a ghost doctor Pipi in the underworld. He had the ability to change faces. He died in Chang'an."
"I've never heard of this person." Gu Ming's expression did not change.
"When he died, a fire broke out in your house and burned down a room."
Gu Ming nodded: "A few months ago, there was indeed a fire in my house, and a person was burned to death. The reason is shameful and difficult to explain."
"Speak!" Gu Nantian showed murderous intent.
Gu Ming is still calm: "I was drunk at night and kidnapped a civilian girl. I raped her. She had just become a minister. I was afraid that she would be reviled, so I burned her."
"I don't believe this reason."
"You won't kill me whether you believe it or not, so why bother saying whether you believe it or not."
"You admitted it."
"I didn't admit it."
Faced with Gu Ming's sophistry, Gu Nantian stood up and said, "Although we are in the palace, it will be easy for me to kill you."
Gu Ming looked at the furious Gu Nantian and said seriously: "Yes, I am not your brother. But so what."
"You still dare to say, so what, you killed my brother, and if I replace him, I will naturally kill you."
Gu Ming took out a package, handed it to Gu Nantian, and said calmly: "Useful people are brothers, and useless people are trash that can be discarded at any time. You understand this, and so do I."
"Who are you?"?
"I am Gu Ming! Today and in the future, my son is also named Gu, and my descendants will also be named Gu. A hundred years from now, or even hundreds of years from now, when people talk about my name, I will be Gu Qingtian who prays for the people. .¡±
"I don't recognize you as a family person."
"You will admit it when you see the gift."
Gu Nantian was surprised and opened the package carefully. His heart trembled. The object placed in the package was a jade seal.
"How could you give me this?"
"Everyone knows the heart of Master Pang. Even if you give reasons, you will not let His Majesty return safely. After that, there is one more important thing. To be an official, you need a fish charm, and to be an emperor, you need a jade seal."
Gu Nantian smiled and said seriously: "You are indeed my good brother, Gu Ming."
Gu Ming looked at Gu Nantian and recognized him. Although Gu Nantian guessed from many details that Gu Ming was fake, what's the use? Brotherly love is not as good as the supreme right. Useful people are brothers, useless people are trash that can be discarded at any time.
"In the future, the people will praise the upright official Gu Ming, and a little more, he will destroy relatives for justice."
After saying that, Gu Ming took out a fire stick and lit the candle in the room.
Gu Nantian was stunned and looked at Gu Ming in surprise.
"I was poisoned."
Gu Nantian took the jade seal, looked at it, smelled it, and smiled: "Gu Ming, how is this poisonous?"
"The tea you drank, the charcoal used to boil water, the herbs used in the palace to repel mosquitoes, and the candle I just lit."
When Gu Ming said this, Gu Nantian felt really uncomfortable and his eyes were a little blurry. He shook his head: "You want to die with me."
"I haven't had any merits praised by the people, so why should I die?"
"You have smelled and used what you said."
"Because there is one last thing, and that is the root of the poison. When I gave the jade seal to you, it was wrapped in cloth. After you opened it, you couldn't put it down. In fact, this jade sealhey, it stopped moving so quickly, forget it. Let¡¯s finish, this jade seal is fake, the masons of Mount Tai were so brave, they gave them some money and forged it.¡±
After saying that, Gu Ming took the cloth, wrapped the fake jade seal again, put it in his arms, and shouted: "Come quickly, call the imperial doctor, my brother has fainted."
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the arrival, Gu Ming added another sentence: "If you are useful, you are a brother, if you are useless, you are a waste. This is true. You admitted that I am your brother, but in my eyes, you are a useless waste. Let's go. Okay, Mr. Gu, no one will burn paper money for you when you get there, just figure it out yourself."
