He naturally knew that His Majesty had been injured back then.

When the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty fought hard. Countless assassins tried to kill His Majesty, but they all ended in vain.

Except that one...

As if he thought of something, a hint of fear appeared in Su Jianan's eyes.

That great master of Northern Qi!

Gu Qi/span Back then, she entered the Jokhang Palace alone, severely injuring countless palace ministers, and almost killed His Majesty.

Fortunately, he was saved by the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army at that time, which prevented him from falling into chaos in Dazhao. But even so, His Majesty was injured, and he has suffered from hidden illnesses that cannot be healed over the years.

The old eunuch shook his head: "That's not true..."

"Since Your Majesty began to practice with the three Taoist priests, his health has improved a lot."

"Is it getting better?"

After hearing this, Su Jianan not only did not relax at all, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

He has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he even scorns this illusory practice.

If there really are gods in this world, why have we never seen them since ancient times?

Su Jianan was even more skeptical about the possibility of immortality through spiritual practice.

The origins of these three Taoist priests are unknown, they are mysterious and have ulterior motives.

Since their arrival, His Majesty has become even more uninterested in court affairs. He spends all day practicing in the palace and neglecting political affairs.

These people are the culprits.

If His Majesty hadn't favored them, Prime Minister Su would have killed these three demons in the Cholera Court.

Hearing that they actually made His Majesty's health improve, Su Jian'an inevitably became a little suspicious.

The old eunuch had a look of amazement on his face: "Yes, Mr. Su, you don't know, those three Taoist priests are really amazing. The elixir they developed can actually prolong life and strengthen the body!"

"Your Majesty has obviously improved a lot since taking their elixir. It's amazing!"

The old eunuch is your majesty's old slave, so naturally he knows your majesty's changes best.

Su Jianan's frown deepened.

I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it.

…

In the front hall.

Emperor Zhao stepped into the main hall.

Su Jian'an stood up and said respectfully: "Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"Get back on your feet!" Emperor Zhao waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Jianan stood up slowly.

Emperor Zhao's eyes fell on him: "Ai Qing came to see me today. What's the important matter?"

Su Jian'an's eyes fell on Emperor Zhao's face and saw that His Majesty's face was red and energetic, and he was obviously in good spirits.

His Majesty's health seems to be much better than before.

Is this what the elixir does?

Even Su Jian'an felt a little surprised. He quickly collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I came to see your Majesty today because of the matter between your highness and the eldest princess."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhao was stunned: "Oh? What happened to Jing'er and Ying'er?"

"Did the two of them have another conflict?"

Emperor Zhao was naturally aware of the struggle between Zhao Jing and Zhao Ying.

All this was also ordered by him.

As long as the two of them don't get into too much trouble, it doesn't matter to Emperor Zhao.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Su Jianan said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, but he has a grudge against the eldest princess. The eldest princess holds the power of Qin Tiansi and has many conflicts with the Crown Prince. This time His Highness and the princess are in Beijing

The state's overt and covert struggles have made Beizhou even more overwhelmed..."

"Your Majesty, Beizhou is in a critical situation now. Since the beginning of winter last year, Beizhou has been hit by disasters and rebels have emerged. The remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty are secretly manipulating it and trying to come back. Your Majesty, you have to be on guard!"

Emperor Zhao originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard about the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Is there anything else going on?"

"What's the situation in Beizhou now?"

Emperor Zhao looked at Su Jianan.

"The people are in dire straits. This is a critical moment and there is no need to delay!"

Su Jianan said in a deep voice.

A hint of coldness flashed in Emperor Zhao's eyes: "You just said that Jing'er and Ying'er had a conflict in Beizhou. What did you mean?"

Su Jian'an sighed and looked at Emperor Zhao: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince of Dazhao. Although His Highness is not talented, he is of excellent character. He is not said to be a talented person in governing the world, but he is definitely not a mediocre person.

.And the eldest princess is even more outstanding. She was a disciple of the former commander of the imperial army beside His Majesty. Her martial arts skills are unfathomable, her talent is astonishing, and she also holds the great power of Qin Tiansi."

"If the two of them continue to fight, there will be casualties. I'm afraid both sides will be hurt, and others will take advantage of it, which will be very detrimental to me!"

Emperor Zhao squinted his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then glanced at Su Jian'an: "As Aiqing said, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty should have made a decision already!"

Su Jian'an held up his hands and said: "Although I am an outsider, I would like to say a few words to Your Majesty about this matter. The eldest princess is indeed excellent, and in terms of talent and governance, she is superior to His Royal Highness in everything. If she were a man,

, I think His Majesty must have made a choice long ago..."

"However, she is a daughter after all, and she cannot inherit the throne. According to the teachings of our ancestors, there has been no rule for women to inherit the throne since ancient times. Your Majesty also knows this truth, so he made Zhao Jing the crown prince!"

Having said this, Su Jian'an paused again and looked at Emperor Zhao: "Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, so there is no need to worry too much. But if you continue to let it go and let the two of them fight, something big will happen!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"..."

Su Jian'an didn't make it too clear.

But how could Emperor Zhao not know what he was thinking?

"Xiang Su, do you want me to take Qin Tiansi back?"

Su Jian'an said in a deep voice: "The eldest princess's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. She is even expected to reach the top of the martial arts world before she is thirty years old... In addition, the Qintiansi is now powerful, and the eldest princess holds the Qintiansi.

Everyone in the hall is almost monopolized by her words. If this goes on for a long time, it will not be a good thing!"

"Then according to what Prime Minister Su said, if I take back Qintiansi, who should be in charge of Qintiansi?"

Su Xiang's face was startled.

He had never thought about this problem.

Yes, who should control this Qin Tiansi?

With such a powerful organization, His Majesty will never be able to rest assured no matter who he entrusts it to.

As if realizing something, Su Xiang slowly raised his head and looked into Emperor Zhao's meaningful eyes.

At this moment, Su Xiang felt a chill in his heart.

He seemed to have realized something. Your Majesty, he might have known about this a long time ago.

The existence of Qintiansi is to check and balance the power of various sects in the world. Qintiansi must exist, and its existence can shock the people of the world.

In these years when the world was becoming less and less controlled by the imperial court, the existence of Qin Tiansi played a role in stabilizing the world.

But because of this, the power of Qintiansi is huge. Qintiansi, which brings together the world's masters, is a huge organizational weapon.

It is absolutely impossible for Your Majesty to hand this sharp weapon into the hands of outsiders.

Thinking of this, Su Xiang's heart became increasingly heavy.

Your Majesty has known this for a long time.

"this……"

Su Jian'an lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty already has the most, I don't dare to say more!"

"You asked me the question and didn't give me an answer?"

Emperor Zhao shook his head and sighed: "This is not a good question."

Su Jianan said nothing.

This is not a question at all. In fact, His Majesty already has the answer in his mind.
To be continued...
