The huge Linzhi Temple was empty, and the dragon chaise high above was still flashing with a dazzling golden luster. The setting sun pulled out a long and oblique shadow through the wooden grid, including a figure.

If the eyes had not blinked from time to time, outsiders would think that this was just a statue standing in the middle of the hall. The statue faced a dragon throne and a door facing the back. The light and shadow hit the face to create a dreamlike bubble.

The hall gate was pushed open, and he walked into the hall wearing a moon-white windbreaker. Logically speaking, his official rank was not qualified to enter the Linzhi Temple directly, but who would care at this moment? After all, the entire imperial city was already the statue.

"Your Highness"

A call was amplified several times in the hall, and the irony was indescribable in the statue's ears.

"What's going on?"

The statue opened its mouth, and Yuebai windbreaker could bow, and respectfully took out a battle report from his arms and presented it to the statue. The statue turned its back to the person who came, but the person's movements could be distinguished from the lengthened shadow. The statue slowly turned around and exposed its face to the person's sight.

The statue is King Xiang, and at this time he can only be King Xiang. After opening the battle report of the person who came from Xiang, he quickly read it and then closed it neatly.

"Qianji, aren't you smart and able to plan? Are you talking about what to do next?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, King Yu's army can win, this is a rare victory since the beginning of the year. However, if this matter is not ostentatious, who will know that they have won? At present, the capital is already under the control of Your Highness, but Your Highness's control is limited to the capital, and the military power is just a god-killing cavalry. The other three armies still obey the emperor's orders, even if the sacrificial military talisman is in the hands of Your Highness."

"Xia Tang did not retreat as agreed, but planned to pursue the victory. King Yu's army was able to give them a head-on attack. If you attack King Yu at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to destroying the Great Wall by yourself?"

King Xiang's eyes pierced into Shen Qianji's body, but Shen Qianji did not hide or avoid it. Facing the sting, he analyzed: "The ability of King Yu to use troops is indeed admirable. If someone hadn't interfered with the battle of Anzhou, King Yu would have driven the Tang army out of the southeast and recovered the lost territory. If so, his military achievements would be unparalleled! Your Highness, you are a man who has accomplished great things. How can the conspiracy between Tang and Xiliang last for a long time? The two countries have many rifts. Now they are just relying on my Daliang's lack of time to look east and take the initiative to reveal their flaws. Otherwise, they think that our Liang army is all vegetarian?"

"Even if you want to attack King Yu, you should not rush for a moment. At least you have to let him drive Xia Tang and Xiliang further."

"After all, King Yu is one of the three princes in the emperor's life. To completely eliminate his strength, and at the same time, it is necessary to block the leisurely mouths of the people of the world. Of course, you should not be too hasty. However, Your Highness should not forget that it has been two days since the Qianyuan Palace Transformation. How long can your Highness think this matter can be hidden? Besides, the emperor's dragon body is still acceptable, and the court is not all under the control of Your Highness."

"So, did Zhou Xunliang confess?"

"Your Highness can rest assured that he has been imprisoned in Dali Temple. The empress has some means to ask him to confess. Your Highness, this is the list of people who have been initially removed, so please check it out."

King Xiang took a list handed over by Chen Qianji. Looking closely, many of them were ministers in the court, and the one listed at the end of the list was Bai Shi.

"Why did you include Shiraishi? Could it be that you are still planning to attack Qingshan Academy?"

"Your Highness has heard of virtue in your heart, great ambition in your heart, and you have the sword to protect your country and your body?"

"Isn't this the educational motto of Qingshan Academy? Speaking of which, Qingshan Academy has also cultivated many loyal and brave men for my Daliang."

"That's right, Qingshan Academy trains all loyal and brave men who are loyal to the previous dynasty, not loyal to His Highness. Let's talk about Liao Zhen, a few ministers who were not killed in the Qianyuan Palace Transformation. His courage and force, if he knew His Highness's true intention, would His Highness think he would be loyal to His Highness or raise the banner of resistance to oppose His Highness?"

Chen Qianji's words forced King Xiang to think in a direction he had never dabbled in. His previous efforts were all in the court and the army, and he completely ignored Qingshan Academy. It was not until this time that he understood how great the significance of the academy itself was, so his eyes were even more sharp when he looked at Chen Qianji.

"Your Highness, let's go forward. There have been examples of civil and military generals controlling their family and country in all dynasties. Although they were indeed devoted to serving the people at that time, the ancestors and emperors were still very afraid. They were not attacking Qingshan Academy because of the face of the world. But Your Highness should not forget that what Your Highness wants to ascend the throne today is not a legitimate inheritance. Do you think Qingshan Academy can tolerate this great debauchery?"

"Chen Qianji!"

"I know the crime, but everything I do is for Your Highness! I am not trying to completely erase Qingshan Academy, but I just hope to rectify it and change it into a college that can obey Your Highness, and pass it on to future generations. This will be the country of your descendants!"

Chen Qianji knelt on the ground, but his words were all poured into King Xiang's ears word by word. King Xiang looked at the young man lying on the ground, and a chill faintly surged in his heart. This person's thoughts were deeper than himself, and he thought that the methods would be even more vicious.

"Of course I believe in your heart, but things must be done smoothly and naturally, and reasonable. Otherwise, if you reveal your flaws, all your efforts will be wasted. Do you think, can I trust you completely?"

"I am willing to work hard for Your Highness!"

"Lin Kun is dead. If you do this, Dali Temple will be given full power to you in the future!"

Fat Kui had been looking at the square sky above the imperial kitchen for more than half a month. Since he was ordered to come to Beijing to prepare meals for the celebration for Emperor Liang, he has never had the chance to step out of the imperial city. Fortunately, Du Shaoyin is with him, otherwise he would have been suffocated to death.

"Fat Kui!"

Du Shaoyin ran to Pangkui panting and said in a angrily tone: "You change the location every day, which makes it easy for me to find! Even if you want to find a place without anyone, you don't have to find it here, right?"

When I zoomed in, the place where Pangkui was looking for was a villa in the corner of the backyard of the imperial kitchen. It was abandoned after being disrepaired for so long. It was a narrow courtyard full of weeds and dilapidated. It took less time to walk into a narrow courtyard. Looking smaller, Pangkui was sitting on an abandoned well along the port, but Du Shaoyin didn't have to worry about Pangkui falling down. After all, the wellhead was not as thick as Pangkui's waist.

"It's a little off the beaten path here, and it's safer to speak! Have you heard of any news today?"

This is a fixed question that Pangkui asks every day. It's been ten days since Du Shaoyin has become used to it. Don't look at Pangkui being careless in the academy and seemingly familiar with everyone, it has been accumulated over thirty years. As soon as Pangkui enters the imperial city, he completely changes, becoming cautious and taciturn. The only person who can communicate without any grudges is Du Shaoyin.

"It was indeed a big incident in the imperial city two days ago!" Du Shaoyin looked serious, "The sound of the horse's hooves would never be wrong, but since that day, the people in the palace were very secretive about what happened before. No matter how I inquired, I would have no gains."

"No matter what happened in the imperial city, it has nothing to do with us. Why should we be imprisoned in the imperial kitchen and not let us go back to the academy?"

Pangkui has lost weight these days. Even though he eats well and lives well in the imperial city, Pangkui feels that he can't stay for a day. His main job every day is to work with Du Shaoyin to remake all the dishes at the celebration. This is the case every day. Even if Emperor Liang likes this same meal for ten days, maybe ordinary people will not feel obviously bored, but Emperor Liang is the emperor of Daliang after all, would he not be bored?

"I don't know how Master and Senior Brother Chu Kuang are doing? They will definitely find a way if they can't see us back!" Du Shaoyin patted Pang Kui's shoulder and encouraged, "We have to believe in Master!"

Fat Kui was like a child who was wronged, leaning his head on Du Shaoyin's shoulder. Fortunately, no one saw such a strange scene.

If Bai Shi saw it, he could only say sorry to them. Not to mention saving Pang Kui and Du Shaoyin, Bai Shi could not even leave the palace. Since the Qianyuan Palace changed, Emperor Liang was forced to move to the harem, and he became a "captive" and a "captive" who received preferential treatment.

Bai Shi is in the back hall of Qianyuan Palace. Just open the window and you can see the bloody land. Bai Shi still remembers the scene when he saw Chu Kuang's body with his own eyes: Chu Kuang's face was covered in blood, and there was more than ten wounds on his body, most of which were knife wounds, but one wound was obviously different. The wound was located in Chu Kuang's left chest, and the wound was penetrated. The wound was conical and spiral, and the skin and flesh of the wound were severely turned outward.

Bai Shi just glanced at Chu Kuang's body and was carried away, but Bai Shi guessed who might have given Chu Kuang a fatal blow.
