Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

Chapter 59 The Mysterious Demon Sect Leader, Could It Be Her?

E-commerce has a seven-day no-reason return policy. With such an advanced system, there is no problem with seven-month no-reason return, right?
Otherwise, it would be too wasteful, and this thing cannot be used by others except him.

Even if it can be transferred, he will not take it out, otherwise how to explain?

【Ding!According to the requirements of the host, provide advanced options for treasures]

"Treasure advanced? What do you mean?"

Li Changshou was taken aback, and he just asked casually. He really didn't expect the system to respond.

【Ding!Improve and upgrade the treasures that the host does not need to a limited extent, but it will consume a part of the system points, please use it with reasonable discretion]

The system then listed several options on the interface, all of which were based on the [Land Immortal Experience Card] that Li Changshou doesn't need now, and the improvement plan selected.

Take a closer look, he is happy!
[Option 1: Consume 10000 system points to upgrade the 'Land Immortal Experience Card' to 'Heavenly Human Experience Card (Elementary)']

[Option 2: Consume 50000 system points to upgrade the 'Land Immortal Experience Card' to 'Heavenly Human Experience Card (Advanced)']

[Option 3: Consume 500000 system points to upgrade the 'Land Immortal Experience Card' to 'Heavenly Human Experience Card (Permanent)']

After reading the three options given by the system, Li Changshou also started to have difficulties for a while.

Choice Difficulty?
It's hard to choose!
[Heavenly-human experience card (primary): After using it, you can have the strength of the heavenly-human realm within 1 minute, and you will be weak and unable to move for three days and three nights after the time limit expires]

[Heavenly Human Experience Card (Advanced): After using it, you can have the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm within half an hour, and lose all abilities to become a mortal within twelve hours after the expiration of the time limit]

[Heavenly Human Experience Card (Permanent): It will not disappear after use, and it will maintain the Heavenly Human Realm for an hour, and the strength will be weakened by 90% within six hours after the expiration of the time limit]

"System, I seriously doubt that you did it on purpose!"

Li Changshou couldn't help complaining. Anyone who read the three plans would be inclined to [Tianren Experience Card (Permanent)].

After reading the first two side effects, he almost closed his eyes and didn't want to choose. For him to use this kind of treasure, he must have encountered some dangerous or extremely difficult situation.

"50 points, the system, did you deliberately calculate how many points I have now, and then step on the points to sell?"

He had serious doubts, but no evidence.

Change or not?
Exchanging 50 points for a [Heavenly Man Experience Card (Permanent)] is enough to ensure that if he really encounters some old undead monsters in the coming days, he also has countermeasures.

There are many advantages, but the disadvantage is that he will run out of points all of a sudden, and at the same time, when he really upgrades to the [Heavenly Man] realm, then this treasure card will be completely useless and useless.

Li Changshou hesitated again and again, and finally chose to spend 50 points to upgrade.

You can use some treasures and hole cards, but you can't live without them.

As the saying goes, a Taoist is floating in the rivers and lakes, how can he not be knifed, and he often walks by the lake to keep his shoes from getting wet?
"The road to woolen wool is a long way to go."

Li Changshou looked at only more than 3 points left, and suddenly felt a long time...

……

The Imperial City Prison.

Unlike the dark and humid outsiders imagined, there are always lights every ten steps here. From time to time, people can be heard being tortured, and all kinds of screams, cursing and begging for mercy come and go.

A few days have passed since Xiao Pang's rebellion.

Xiao Pang's henchmen and a group of people who were arrested, let alone a lot of things were interrogated by the Secretary of the Imperial City.

"Your Highness."

Gu Fan sent a list to Li Changshou. In the past few days, he has hardly been back, and he has been interrogating prisoners in the prison of the Imperial City Division.

With his method, it will soon take effect.

"You've done a good job. With these things, you won't be afraid of those pure gossip officials in the DPRK farting behind your back."

Li Changshou nodded in satisfaction. After some interrogation by the Secretary of the Imperial City, he indeed found out a lot of party members who had colluded with Xiao Pang, and involved a lot of people. Some of them were honest officials and celebrities in the eyes of outsiders, and they were moral models. Confucianism in the current world.

But in fact, they are all a bunch of beasts and scum who secretly steal and prostitute.

"With these evidences and confessions, even if His Highness convicts and beheads them now, no one will say no."

Gu Fan cupped his hands and said that he was also shocked when he saw the pleas of those people.

A group of gentlemen and scholars in the court, who would have thought what kind of person they are in private?

On the contrary, the Minister of Rites, who was released by Li Changshou two days ago, has some problems, but at most they are morally unbearable and have not violated the laws of the court.

"Let go of those who have no serious problems."

Li Changshou collected the list and the confessions of those people, and explained a few words at the same time. Gu Fan didn't ask too much, he knew that there were already many people involved this time, and if they were all implicated, it would cause turmoil in the entire court.

Then he was ordered to go down to make arrangements, and Li Changshou asked someone to prepare the car directly, but instead of returning home, he went to another place.

Soon the carriage stopped in front of a house.

This is the residence of Prime Minister Zhang Lao, who is now ranked among the three princes and the chief assistant of the cabinet.

The reason why Li Changshou came here is also very simple. Old Prime Minister Zhang is the leader of the Qingliu faction in the court, and he has a great reputation both inside and outside the court, even among the people, it is spread by word of mouth.

Why can Li Cheng secure the crown prince?
In addition to his status as the eldest son of the late empress and the eldest son of the royal family, what is more important is that he has the support of old Prime Minister Zhang behind him.

Without Prime Minister Zhang, many ministers in the court would have remained neutral.

Probably because he didn't expect that Li Changshou would come to visit in person, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly greeted him, and soon after the old Prime Minister Zhang got the news, he came out to greet him.

"The old minister has seen His Royal Highness Shou Wang, but I don't know what is the important thing for His Royal Highness to come to the humble house?"

Old Prime Minister Zhang is not young, and is now in his 60s, with gray hair and a ruddy complexion.

He was obviously surprised by Li Changshou's private visit.

"Hello, Zhang Xiang. I have something to do today and I want to have a private talk with Zhang Xiang."

As he spoke, he glanced at the butler of the Xiangfu beside him, and the meaning was very clear. We should talk alone without outsiders.

Old Prime Minister Zhang also knew what was going on, and waved his hand to signal the others to retreat.

After waiting for no one to be present, Li Changshou smiled, and then put the list that he brought from the Imperial City Secretary in his arms in front of Old Prime Minister Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, take a look at it first."

"This is?"

Seeing this list, Prime Minister Zhang frowned slightly.

"Please take a look at it. It's not too late for Zhang Xiang to ask any questions after reading it."

The list is not long. Old Prime Minister Zhang picked it up with a frown, and his expression changed as soon as he glanced at it. Then his expression became more and more serious and livid, and finally the anger was slowly visible to the naked eye. Slow burn up.

Li Changshou didn't rush, just sipped tea slowly and waited for the result.

Finally, after Old Prime Minister Zhang read the entire list, he suppressed his anger and put the things down.

"What is your highness's intention?"

He was an official in the court, and he was also a veteran of the three dynasties. The old prime minister Zhang had been clean all his life, but it didn't mean he didn't understand intrigue, and he calmed down after his anger returned to his anger.

Li Changshou put down his teacup, "These are the results of the interrogation by the Imperial City Division in the past few days. If Zhang Xiang doesn't believe it, he can personally go to the Imperial City Division with him to find out."

"The veteran didn't doubt the contents of this list, but His Highness didn't hand over the things to His Majesty. What's the point of coming to the veteran instead?"

"Zhang Xiang, we Ming people don't speak dark words. Many people in the court call the orphaned concubine a demon concubine. For many years, they have troubled the court and framed Zhongliang. Being alone as a son of man is not good for judging, and I don't want to judge."

Li Changshou talked eloquently and sincerely, but Old Prime Minister Zhang remained silent.

"This time, Xiao Pang rebelled against the rebels, but his father, Huangji, and his own gods did not have any accidents, and Gu has been ordered to thoroughly investigate the case of rebellion so far. I have not asked myself what I was worried about behind the back of the Chaozhong Qingliu. Taking advantage of this Opportunity to eradicate dissidents and suppress those ministers who support the prince, does Mr. Zhang agree?"

Old Prime Minister Zhang pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "The old minister really admires His Highness's fair approach."

"Well, Gu doesn't expect Zhang Xiang and those Qingliu in the court to let Gu's mother and concubine go. I just want Zhang Xiang to know that Gu can't choose his own origin, but he can choose how to behave."

As soon as this remark came out, Old Prime Minister Zhang was a little moved.

Li Changshou continued, "Gu has no intention of competing with the prince. The emperor ordered Gu to be the commander of the Imperial Army before, but Gu also declined and did not agree."

Old Prime Minister Zhang was moved again. As a veteran of the three dynasties, he also understood how much threat he would pose to the prince if King Shou controlled the imperial army.

"In addition, most of the ministers on this list are ministers of your Qingliu faction. As long as you hand over things to the emperor alone, these people on the list will be dismissed early and returned to the fields to support their lives, or they will be sent to the frontier. Fangsi is a slave and a handmaiden."

The atmosphere in the whole room became serious.

Li Changshou paused after finishing speaking, "You don't need to think about it. If this list is really handed over to the father, Qingliu, headed by Zhang Xiang, will probably scold the dictatorship in the middle of the court, eradicate dissidents and frame Zhongliang, right?"

"Your Highness is serious. The old minister is not a fool who doesn't understand the reason. As long as he violates the laws of the court, he can deal with it as he wants."

Li Changshou scoffed at what he said lightly, and didn't believe it at all.

He never believed that an official could really be upright and fair.

Human beings have feelings and are influenced by feelings.

A sage can make wrong judgments, let alone a human being?
He did believe that Prime Minister Zhang was an honest official, but honesty does not mean that he has no selfish intentions.

"With Zhang Xiang's words, Gu will no longer be in a difficult situation. Of course, only Gu and Zhang Xiang know about this matter now. If there is anyone who Zhang Xiang needs to protect, you can let me know now."

The problem is now placed in front of Prime Minister Zhang.

People are not sages and sages can do nothing, he does not believe that this old man can really be indifferent.

As long as he asks for something, he will definitely have a handle in the future.

There is nothing despicable or despicable, he is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, and he never hides his actions.

"His Royal Highness's move has created a problem for the old minister."

Hearing this tone, the corners of Li Changshou's mouth turned upwards, really thinking that you can be upright and upright without desires or demands, but in the end you will still be swayed by certain things.

After all, on that list, there are disciples of old Prime Minister Zhang, as well as friends he has known for many years.

There are even distant relatives and in-laws of the Zhang family!

The fact that the old prime minister is free from corruption does not mean that his clansmen, distant relatives and everyone in his wife's natal family are sages.

And those disciples, why are they officials?
Even if they were really passionate about serving the country and the people at the beginning, how many people can really stick to their original aspirations for decades?

"There is no need for Zhang Xiang to be in trouble. The case of treason against the emperor has been handed over to Gu to deal with, and Gu actually does not want to involve too much and cause turmoil in the court."

Li Changshou explained lightly, "Unless you really have a party with Xiao Pang for selfish purposes, you can turn a blind eye to other issues, and won't make it difficult for the prince to do it."

"This can be regarded as accumulating virtue for the orphan mother and concubine. It is the only thing a son of man can do alone."

Some half-truths and half-false heart-to-heart remarks, the effect is really good.

Old Prime Minister Zhang had rejected people thousands of miles away with a blank expression at the beginning, but now his expression softened, and finally he sighed, and then accepted the list, "The old minister would like to thank His Highness for his kindness on their behalf."

Famous ministers are also human beings, not sages.

Li Changshou's goal has been achieved.

【Ding!The status of the host in the eyes of the head of the Qingliu Prime Minister has improved, rewarding 30000 system points]

【Ding!Successfully dragging the prime minister into the quagmire, with the handle in hand, indirectly affecting the trend of the court, rewarding 50000 system points]

……

Just when Li Changshou went to the prime minister's mansion.

In a certain restaurant in the capital, a masked woman walked through the lobby and came to the backyard.

In the seemingly inconspicuous backyard of the restaurant, there are hidden organs.

The masked woman opened the mechanism familiarly, and then she entered the secret passage in a flash.

Follow the secret path all the way to an underground palace.

"Subordinates pay homage to the leader!"

I saw an old man coming to greet him quickly, with a hint of doubt in his respectful attitude, while the masked woman took off her veil, revealing that face full of joy and anger.

It is the noble concubine, Zhou Huier!
