I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster
Chapter 661 The Ending Is Already Preordained
Qin Shaoyou didn't ask why, he was quietly waiting for Qin Qiaoer to go on.
Qin Qiaoer did not disappoint him, and told him a big melon:
"The King of Shu's invitation to buy people's hearts did not start in the past two years.
You should also know that His Majesty has never had any heirs, right? As His Majesty grew older, more rumors emerged that His Majesty took a large amount of so-called elixir in pursuit of immortality and longevity, which resulted in the accumulation of erysipelas, which hurt his body and affected his fertility.
As far as I know, the town monster once investigated the source of these rumors and found that they came from the palace.
Who the specific source is, no one knows. It may be the eunuchs, maids in the palace, or even... His Majesty himself. "
Qin Shaoyou frowned.
There is a lot of information hidden in Sixth Sister's words.
But he didn't make a sound, because Qin Qiaoer continued to tell:
"After the rumors came out, some people dismissed them, but others took them seriously, and there is the King of Shu among them.
If His Majesty has been unable to give birth to an heir, he can only choose an heir from among the vassal kings. Among a group of vassal kings, the King of Shu is not ranked high. In order to inherit the great rule, he secretly bought courtiers and supported officials of his own faction many years ago.
The King of Shu always thought that these things he did were very secretive, but in fact, His Majesty knew his every move like the back of his hand. For those courtiers and officials who were bribed by him, he also took a small notebook to record them all. "
Speaking of this, Qin Qiaoer paused for a moment, remembering something, her expression suddenly became very serious, and she seriously told Qin Shaoyou:
"If you have the opportunity to meet His Majesty in the future, don't be deceived by his obsession with cultivating immortals and practicing alchemy. Not only is His Majesty suspicious by nature, but he is also very deep in the city. He may not be very good at governing the country, but when it comes to scheming and the emperor's mind, But it’s the same. Anyone who thinks he’s obsessed with cultivating immortals will be able to lie, and the end result will only be a miserable death!”
Qin Shaoyou nodded to express his understanding.
He used to think that Emperor Jianwu was not easy.
An emperor who practiced immortality and alchemy every day, and was able to control the government, even if he was a foolish emperor, he was also a foolish emperor with a lot of means.
Now Sixth Sister's words confirmed his guess.
Seeing that her younger brother was obedient, Qin Qiaoer also breathed a sigh of relief, and continued the previous topic:
"Judging from the information we have now, His Majesty found the King of Shu and asked him to help him try the pill, probably after he found out about his invitation to buy courtiers.
Do you think His Majesty really wants the King of Shu to help test the pill, or is he using this matter, the death of his son, to warn the King of Shu?
You know, since His Majesty began to ask immortals and medicines, many alchemists recommended themselves, and there are not a few of them who are proficient in alchemy.
Even if you can't see it, if someone needs to try the pill, why do you need to find a royal child? There are many death row prisoners in the prison.
Taking a ten thousand step back, these pills are special, they only work on people with royal blood, can't they travel with side branches? Do you have to want the son of the king of Shu? Isn't it to teach the king of Shu a lesson! "
After a pause, Qin Qiaoer seriously warned again: "You have to rot in your stomach about the trial pill, and don't tell anyone else, understand?"
"Understood." Qin Shaoyou nodded in response.
At the same time, he had already sketched out the general situation of the whole thing in his mind:
Emperor Jianwu is a man who is good at strategy and emperor's mind, and is used to controlling everything.
After he discovered that the king of Shu was secretly rooting in the court, he asked the king of Shu to help try the pill, and even gave the king some verbal promises. After he became a fairy and ascended, he made a will and handed over the throne to the king of Shu to sit and so on.
Of course the King of Shu was not stupid, but he was still tempted by the huge temptation of the throne.
Even if this chance is only one percent or one thousandth, it is enough for the king of Shu to give it a try.
Anyway, he wasn't the one who tested the alchemy. What does it have to do with him, the king of Shu, if the prince is dead?
The eldest son is certainly important, but in front of the throne, it's not enough!
As long as he can get the throne, let alone a son, it doesn't matter if all his children die!
Anyway, he can give birth, and after he becomes the emperor, he can give birth to a dozen more. He was not Emperor Jianwu, who would die every time he gave birth to a son.
Even Qin Shaoyou suspected that among the counselors under the king of Shu, there were also people planted by Emperor Jianwu.
They helped fight the fire in this matter, aroused the greed of the King of Shu, and made him agree to help test the pill in exchange for the "support" of Emperor Jianwu.
As a result, the elixir can only make people go to heaven, but cannot make people immortal.
Emperor Jianwu used this incident to give the King of Shu a warning: what I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't take it!
Whether the king of Shu understood the threat of Emperor Jianwu, Qin Shaoyou is not sure, but judging from the actions of the king of Shu after that, he is obviously unwilling.
It just so happened that the prince turned into a zombie after his sudden death, so he thought about raising the corpse as a ghost.
It is estimated that apart from wanting to use the corpse to pretend to be a god and fool Emperor Jianwu, he is thinking of cultivating a powerful corpse, so that after Jianwu's grand tour, he can help him in grabbing power.
Some things you can't do under the sun!
As for buying demons such as the spider demon master, it is probably for a similar reason...
No, not right.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou suddenly felt a chill down his back.
He felt that Emperor Jianwu's asking the King of Shu to test the alchemy might not be just a warning.
Emperor Jianwu used a big cake and a poison pill to make the King of Shu go further and further down the wrong path...
Even if it wasn't for Qin Shaoyou, the people from Yizhou Town Yaosi would definitely be able to find out that the prince of Shu had turned into a corpse.
When these things are reported, Emperor Jianwu can clean up the King of Shu in a logical manner. It will neither panic the other vassal kings nor give birth to the thought of the death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox, which will cause chaos to break out. It will not let the officials of the king of Shu in the court jump out to object.
After all, it is intolerable for the prince's son to become a corpse, whether it is the court or the clan.
So in this matter, whether to warn or exterminate the family depends entirely on the choice of the King of Shu.
If the King of Shu obediently accepted his fate after the death of his son, clarified the truth to Emperor Jianwu, and restrained his behavior, then it would be a warning.
But the king of Shu didn't do that.
Driven by desire and ambition, he chose to keep his son's sudden death and corpse change a secret.
From that moment on, the outcome of King Shu was also doomed, it would only be a dead end!
The more he did, the more Emperor Jianwu hated him, and the more he had to die.
After thinking about these things, Qin Shaoyou was relieved a lot.
But he has another worry.
"What if the king of Shu uses the prince as a condition to ask for pardon?"
"Prince?" Qin Qiaoer was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Where did the prince come from?"
Seeing Qin Qiaoer's reaction, Qin Shaoyou knew that she didn't know about 'Zhang Xiaoni'.
Originally, Qin Shaoyou thought that Qin Qiaoer's master was patrolling Yizhou to find 'Zhao Xiaoni' and Lao Zhangtou.
But now it seems that either he thought too much, or Qin Qiaoer's master didn't tell her about it.
But now, it's possible to talk about it.
Sixth Sister is also a cautious person, she will not spread this matter indiscriminately, and she is good at finding traces, maybe she can find out the whereabouts of Lao Zhangtou and 'Zhang Xiaoni'.
