Chapter 317 Li Yunrui raises an army!
The sun in the sky slowly rose from one side to the center.

And the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began.

The two men walked out of the temple one after the other and headed towards the place of sacrifice.

The magic of the Qing Temple made Fan Xian disagree.

Before meeting Li Ang or reading those letters, Fan Xian believed that there were miracles in this world!
Otherwise, how would I appear in this world?

When he came to this temple as a child, he was very pious. He wondered in his heart more than once, could this temple on the top of the mountain really be able to hear the will of heaven and get in touch with the illusory temple in the legend?
At that time he firmly believed this and was a complete idealist.

Only when the layer of paper in front of them is punctured, can people understand that behind all these miracles there is just a magician who is good at performing.

With inexplicable thoughts in mind, the two walked along a quiet path into a small temple.

Fan Xian began to become curious. He had never been here before. Could it be that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was held here?
As the mountain breeze blew past, the bells under the eaves swayed left and right, making beautiful sounds that were refreshing.

This place is full of traces of weathering, as if it has never been repaired since it was built, and it looks a bit shabby and sacred. Looking at the serious and cautious expression on Emperor Qing's face, Fan Xian doubted his judgment for the first time.

"Your Majesty is very familiar with this place."

Nodding, Emperor Qing smiled and said, "Although I was canonized here, I was confused throughout the whole process and didn't remember anything. The reason why I can remember everything here is just that I met your mother here and stayed in Dadong Mountain for a while afterwards."

Fan Xian understood.

Unexpectedly, the following words gave him goose bumps all over his body, and it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured down his heart!
"I received a message that the eldest princess made some moves in Kyoto!"

Emperor Qing sneered, and that familiar feeling came again: "If you were that woman, what would you do at this moment?"

"I am frightened!"

"explain."

"She had only one way to go."

To be honest, Fan Xian had thought about this question countless times. If he were Li Yunrui, he would either do nothing at this moment and wait for the final punishment after the crown prince was deposed.

If she is unwilling, she can only rebel!
Judging from the emperor's tone, is she really rebelling?
"If I were her, I would first get rid of all sight and contact my own forces and all the allies I could unite with." Fan Xian pretended to be thinking, and the lack of confidence in his tone seemed to say that he was really not familiar with rebellion. "It's just that the decision to depose the Crown Prince was made by His Majesty a month ago. And the time for this ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven has been moved forward again and again. She simply doesn't have the time to prepare."

"If you want to make it happen, this kind of preparation will not be possible without several months of preparation!"

"Oh! I killed so many of her people and she didn't put up a single resistance. If the Queen Mother hadn't stepped in, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many people left under her command!"

There is not much else in this world, but there are many people who are suitable to be officials!
Therefore, Emperor Qing showed no mercy when it came to killing people.

"I'm not surprised that she was able to avoid the surveillance of the Overwatch Council, because it's a matter of course. As for the problem of not having enough time, what if someone is helping her?"

Fan Xian was startled and raised his head: "Li An?"

"That's right!" The emperor said coldly, "You are in charge of the Supervisory Council, don't you know? How many people did Northern Qi send to Kyoto before? I think Li An is somewhere in Qing Kingdom now!"

Fan Xian remained silent, not daring to show too much emotion.

"My sister, after her scandal was exposed, she still had the mind to help the prince. Do you think that when the East Palace caught fire after the incident, I was hiding everything for them?" Looking at the silent Fan Xian, Emperor Qing revealed the truth in a shocking manner: "The fire was set by my sister! Can you imagine? In the early morning of a thunderstorm, the entire East Palace was burned down?" He is really unrepentant!
"From that moment on, I knew that my sister would definitely rebel against me!" Emperor Qing had not shown any emotion in the face of countless assassinations. Only the betrayal of his family was the most difficult for him to accept. "She wants a chance, so I will give her a chance."

He said he would give everyone a chance!

"Next, what will she do after she connects with her own power?"

Fan Xian only felt the pressure on his shoulders doubled at this moment. This momentum made him feel uncomfortable: "After contacting the subordinates and organizing the forces, the next step is to wait. Wait for an opportunity for His Majesty to leave the capital, and then... before His Majesty returns to the capital, use thundering means to kill His Majesty!"

"After that, whether she wants to support the Crown Prince or the Second Prince, she only needs to block all news about His Majesty and then announce it to the world, and then she can do it calmly."

Of course, all this is based on the premise of Emperor Qing’s death.

Ever since the hunt for Li An, everyone in the world knew that Emperor Qing was a grandmaster.

This ordinary assassination is naturally not feasible and not safe. So the only way to kill Emperor Qing is to surround him with a large army, and a master must come to contain him. After all, if the grand master just wants to escape, no one can stop him!

"The opportunity to kill His Majesty is this Dadong Mountain Heavenly Sacrifice!"

This process is not difficult to analyze, but the analysis is simple, and it is extremely difficult to implement!

Let’s not talk about how much power the eldest princess has.

Just to encircle Dadong Mountain, facing the two thousand guards, two thousand garrison troops and one thousand black cavalry, you can't even think about it without mobilizing 50,000 troops!
Yes, there is only one way down the mountain, and once you are surrounded, you will be unable to escape.

But the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Without several times the military strength to erode from below, Emperor Qing can naturally wait for the surrounding state troops to support and protect him. If the force is not enough and the action is rushed, the princess will only fail and die.

"It seems that you understand that after I die, they will blame my death on you."

Damn, it seems that Emperor Qing is really crazy. He sees through everything but still gives the other party a chance. He is like a cat catching a mouse. Killing the mouse is just the result, and the process is what he enjoys!
"But the princess only has one Junshan Society. Where does she get so many troops to encircle Dadong Mountain?" Fan Xian asked the question in his mind.

"Of course we need some troops, but not as many as you think."

"You have lived here since childhood, so you certainly understand the terrain here. Dadong Mountain is within the borders of Qing State. Not to mention that if there are too many troops, it would be impossible for her to arrive here unimpeded. Before that, she would be stopped by the state army."

"Secondly, Dadong Mountain is isolated by the sea. Even if a large army arrives, how can they attack it? With the terrain like this, they can't move forward."

So, the only option left is to be an assassin?

Emperor Qing held up five fingers, "Five thousand elite soldiers, just need to delay the soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and then send assassins to kill me, then she will have a chance of success!"

The assassin cannot be weak, he must be at least ninth rank, and a master must be involved.

Could it be that Emperor Qing had already anticipated all this?
"The soldiers are from the Qin and Ye families, and the person is naturally you, Li An!"

Emperor Qing gently put his hands behind his back and said to one side in a cold tone:

"Come out!"
