Chapter 521: Convincing King Wu
Yuan Tiangang put down the teacup, and then sat there quietly with his eyes closed, motionless, and after a long time, Li Ke tentatively shouted: "Dao Chief, are you okay?" β
Yuan Tiangang didn't open his eyes, and said slowly: "Your Highness, don't disturb, wait for the old man to use immortal skills to drive away poison." β
Li Ke obediently closed his mouth when he heard this, and waited patiently there.
After another moment, Yuan Tiangang suddenly put his palm on his chest, his face began to turn red, his whole body was trembling, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, so much arsenic, it could poison twenty people, Yuan Tiangang ate it alone, naturally it was very sad, in order to win the trust of King Wu, Yuan Tiangang also fought hard this time.
Yuan Tiangang's face became more and more red, as if he wanted to drip blood, more like a hellish ghost, Li Ke was shocked to see it, although he knew that this was not a ghost, but Yuan Tiangang's terrifying appearance still made his heart furious, fortunately, after a while, Yuan Tiangang's face gradually faded, and his body no longer trembled, Li Ke was dumbfounded, it had been more than half an hour since he ate arsenic, if it was an ordinary person, he would have died of poison, but Yuan Tiangang was still alive, he began to believe in Yuan Tiangang, he knew, I really picked up the treasure this time, and I met a master who was even more magical than Zhuge Wuhou.
After another ten minutes, Yuan Tiangang's face returned to normal, and he slowly opened his eyes, Li Ke was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "Xiao Wang greets Master!" He said before that as long as Yuan Tiangang can prove himself, he will worship Yuan Tiangang as a teacher, and now that he has witnessed Yuan Tiangang's magic, he naturally has to fulfill his promise.
"Your Highness, please take a seat." Yuan Tiangang got up and held his hand, and said slowly, "Your Highness can trust the old man, and the old man will be content." β
"Faith! This king naturally believes in Master now. Li Ke sat back in his seat and replied with a serious face.
Yuan Tiangang said slowly: "Your Highness, you can call me sir, outsiders only say that I am a guest of your house, don't say that I am your master." β
"Yes, sir." Li Ke nodded.
"Let's get down to business." Yuan Tiangang said solemnly, "Your Highness, you are now in Yizhou, do you still have any thoughts about the supreme position?" β
Li Ke instinctively lied when he heard this: "This king has never been worried about the throne. After saying it, he regretted it a little, the master in front of him was here to help him do great things, but he was not honest, which was not good.
Yuan Tiangang didn't blame him for not being honest, but said in a persuasive tone: "Your Highness, how can the mediocre generation of the Nine Emperor Princes control the Eight Desolations, if he takes over the Tang Dynasty, the country will be in danger." β
In the face of Yuan Tiangang's naked rebellious words, Li Ke was a little embarrassed, he said that he could trust Yuan Tiangang, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and said perfunctorily: "Mr. is just afraid that he is too worried, the ninth brother is very good." β
Yuan Tiangang waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, your mentality is relaxed, what kind of person is the Nine Emperors, Your Highness, you should know very well, he is cowardly by nature, naΓ―ve, and has no city government to speak of, with such a person in charge of the country, can you rest assured, Your Highness?" β
Yuan Tiangang's words said to Li Ke's heart, although Li Ke also wants to be the emperor, but he is not as obsessed as Li Tai, his heart is still wider than Li Tai, but to let him give up the throne like this, he is still unwilling, not to mention that he was robbed of the throne by Li Zhi, Li Ke thinks that Yunwen Yunwu has the talent of the emperor, how can Li Zhi compare, so what makes him most unconvinced is that he was robbed of the throne by a mediocre person like Li Zhi.
Li Ke raised his head slightly when he heard this, and sighed abruptly: "This is my father's decision, what can I do." β
Yuan Tiangang said indifferently: "The emperor was not the crown prince back then, he still sat on the throne, why can't you, Your Highness?" β
Li Ke was shocked when he heard this, this sentence was like a key, opening the Pandora's box in his heart, and releasing the endless demons in his heart, these demons were power lust and greed.
As soon as he ascended the throne, he made Li Chengqian the crown prince, and Li Chengqian made him the crown prince many times, and he repeatedly tolerated it and did not abolish Li Chengqian, why? Because Li Shimin destroyed the order, if his sons followed his example and all fought for the throne by force, then the Tang Dynasty would be in chaos, so he had to repair the order, make Li Chengqian the crown prince, and threatened to pass the throne to Li Chengqian in the future, just to prevent another such thing as the Xuanwumen Incident.
However, the mud can't support the wall, Li Chengqian even lost his position as the crown prince under Li Shimin's extreme tolerance, and even the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't keep him, so you can imagine how stupid he is.
Li Ke was bewitched by Yuan Tiangang's words, subconsciously clenched his fists, his breath became heavy, Yuan Tiangang saw every subtle change in his every movement and expression in his eyes, and he could almost guess all the thoughts in his heart now, he knew that he had successfully persuaded Li Ke.
After a while, Li Ke gradually calmed down and asked, "Then according to Mr., what should this king do?" β
Yuan Tiangang said: "Your Highness, it is not a simple matter to seize the throne, the first thing you have to do is to cultivate your patience, an excellent hunter, when dealing with cunning prey, the first thing is to be patient, and then the skill of hunting." β
"Well, that's exactly what the gentleman said." When Li Ke heard this, he immediately felt that Yuan Tiangang was a person who did great things, and what he said was too reasonable, so he hurriedly spread his hands and said, "Sir, please continue." β
Yuan Tiangang said: "The reason why hunters have to be patient when chasing prey is to wait for the opportunity, and His Highness is the same, you need to wait for an opportunity. β
Li Ke hurriedly asked, "What time is it?" β
Yuan Tiangang said slowly: "The old man watched the stars at night, and calculated that the emperor's life span is short, and he may return to heaven in a year or two. β
"What about the second one?"
Yuan Tiangang said again: "The dim emperor star is a sign that His Majesty's life expectancy is not much, and the new emperor star is also dim, indicating that the Nine Emperor Sons are not longevity, next to the new emperor star, there is also a demon star on the side, although it is also dim, but it is only suppressed by the emperor star, as long as the emperor star is extinguished, this demon star will be generous and bright, at that time, the Tang Dynasty will be chaotic, and the time for His Highness will come." β
"You mean......" Li Ke was shocked when he heard this, "Someone wants to rebel?" β
"Yes." Yuan Tiangang was full of solemnity, and said, "Your Highness, the old man has never made a mistake in astrology, there is a demon star lurking next to the new emperor star, and as soon as Your Majesty leaves, she will come out to cause trouble and want to occupy the Tang Dynasty. β
"When...... Seriously! Li Ke was so shocked when he heard this that his hands trembled.
"If the old man says half a wrong sentence, he is willing to kill himself in front of His Highness!" Yuan Tiangang said with a look of pity, "In fact, the old man is an outsider, and he shouldn't care about the world, but since the old man has measured the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, how can he watch the people of the world suffer, even if he is punished by heaven for leaking the heavenly secret, the old man must help His Royal Highness Kuangfu Dao, although he has died without regrets." β
Yuan Tiangang's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, almost moved Li Ke to tears, such superb acting skills, it is estimated that Li Hao will take the initiative to hand over the little golden man when he sees it, Li Ke got up and waved at Yuan Tiangang when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Mr. Gaoyi, Ke admires it, from now on, Mr. is the military advisor of my palace, in the palace, except for this king, Mr. is the most." β
Yuan Tiangang got up and held Li Ke's hand, and said slowly: "Your Highness wants to achieve great things, how can you have no generals, the old man has brought a good general for His Highness, and he has been waiting outside the hall for a long time." β
Li Ke was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said loudly: "Someone, please come in!" β
Soon, a tall man in a blue suit walked in, but this man wore a hat on his head, and a black veil hung from the hat, covering his face, and only his white beard could be faintly seen.
The man wearing the hat stepped forward and saluted Li Ke, and said in a loud voice: "The villain greets His Royal Highness King Wu!" β
Li Ke nodded and said, "Can the strong man take off the hat and let the king take a look?" β
"Yes!" The strong man answered, raised his hand and took off the hat.
Li Ke saw the strong man's face, as if he had seen a ghost, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and shouted in shock, "How could it be you!" β
