Li Shujie said with a deep face, "Of course I know what I am talking about. Isn't this true? Now, the Taoist sect is above the court and the royal family, and he is arbitrarily. The father and the emperor have been lingering in sickness. My brothers lost their mother at a young age and were isolated and helpless. Seeing that the Duan King is in great power, we are unable to fight, while the Taoist sect and the national master sit on the wall to watch. I believe that when both the internal struggles of the royal family are both injuring, the national religion is just taking advantage of the profits and taking control of the country alone. Can't you see such a dangerous situation and crisis clearly?"

Li Qingye calmed down and said, "Brother Emperor, how did you know that the Taoist sect did not take measures to restrict King Duan? How did you know that the National Master wanted to subvert the court? What are the benefits of his doing this? Originally, the court ruled the secular world and the national religion controlled the faith. Although each performed his own ways, he was dependent on each other. The combination of the two reached a perfect level in the years of the Tang Dynasty's rule. Although the father could not manage the government, the national master helped him from the side. Which political order was issued at will without the permission of the father? Brother Emperor, you are thinking too much."

Li Shujie's expression changed slightly and he scolded: "I'm confused! If it were a long time, then would the Tang Dynasty still be the Tang Dynasty of the Li family? The country is no longer a country!"

"Brother, how can you think so?" Li Qingye shook his head and said, "The Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty for all the people of the world. My Li family will take this position by chance. In addition to enjoying wealth and honor, we must also remember that we have an unshirkable responsibility of guarding. We must resolutely and completely eliminate any people and things that destroy peace in the world. Otherwise, we should do our best to maintain it."

Li Shujie shook his head and said, "I think the situation now has reached a critical moment of change. We must prevent King Duan from seizing the throne. More importantly, the government must be unified. Only in this way can we use our fingers as an arm, without being constrained by any external factors."

Li Qingye was a little suspicious and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Well, it's simple." Li Shujie thought for a while and continued: "Someone promised that if I help them seize the inheritance of the national religion, the new national teacher will return all worldly power to the royal family in the future, so that the Tang monarchs can be worthy of their reputation."

"Then?"

"Then, the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty and all the cultivation sects will join forces with the demon clan to form an invincible coalition, and invade the northern expedition, destroy the mist city, and completely eliminate the demonic troubles of thousands of years. In this way, the Tang Dynasty will usher in surrender to the world, return to its heart, and realize the true unification of the continent."

After Li Shujie said this slowly, his eyes became hot and his expression became a little intoxicated, as if he was already wearing a dragon robe, sitting upright on the dragon throne in the Qinzheng Hall, enjoying the coming of all parties to come to the court, and listening to the various voices of the world praising his unparalleled master.

Li Qingye was shocked.

He could not have imagined that the emperor's brother, who had always been enthusiastic and elegant, had such wild ideas, such far-reaching ambitions, would express his ambitions so fiercely, and such a stupid mind.

He looked at Li Shujie and asked with a sarcastic look: "Brother, are you going to walk on the old path of Uncle Muyun and unite all the despicable forces?"

Li Shujie shook his head and said, "Everything is based on interests. If there is profit, it will be combined; if there is no profit, it will be dispersed. This has been the case since ancient times."

Li Qingye asked again: "So, is the Kunlun Sect the power that found you? Don't you know what they have always had with Uncle Muyun?"

"Hmph! Why don't I know? Whoever can help them will support whom. If I can do what King Duan is unable to do, who do you think they will listen to?"

Li Qingye immediately asked, "Even Uncle Muyun is helpless with the national master. With his withered Kunlun Sect, what is the confidence to challenge the Taoist sect? If the national master is angry and forced to suppress it, what force will they have to resist? Then, how can you deal with the emperor's brother mixed in there?"

Li Shujie smiled coldly and said, "Do you think the core of Duan King's power is still a solid piece? It has been hundreds of years and countless failures, and it almost led to the fall of the sacred sequence powerhouse. The people around him have long been disinterested, but they still follow the word "interest" and have not revealed any obvious intention to leave."

When Li Qingye heard this, he felt a stern and thought to himself, who else is secretly talking to the emperor's brother? King Su? or King Yanqing?

Li Shujie continued, "As for Ling Xiao? Humph, he is old, so naturally someone will take action against him."

Li Qingye felt a trembling in his heart. He didn't expect that the emperor's brother was so brave that he planned the national guru. He thought for a while and slowed down his tone and advised sincerely: "Brother, according to you, this power is extremely powerful. This is not something you can control and utilize. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are planning to have a skin with a tiger. If this power can really overturn the national guru, your ambition will expand sharply. At that time... the world will be in chaos. If the demon clan takes advantage of the situation to invade, it will reach an uncontrollable level. Brother, I beg you to be more sober."

Li Shujie glanced at his younger brother with a slanted look and laughed: "Why don't you think about it? If Ling Xiao died at their hands, how could they be safe and sound? This must be a loss-making situation. At that time, it is the time when the fisherman gains profit."

Li Qingye thought about it and said that this matter was not as simple as the emperor's brother said. In fact, he had always understood the deep thorn in his heart. Could it be that he was forcing himself to express his feelings?

After a moment of silence, Li Qingye suddenly looked up and said, "Brother, I will enter the palace tomorrow and knelt down and begged my father to issue an order to make you the crown prince. I promise you that you will definitely accomplish this. Brother, please don't interact with those who have ulterior motives, okay? I'm afraid you will regret it in the future!"

He decided to give up the throne that was extremely precious to others, bet on the friendship between his brothers for more than ten years, and make the final effort to try to save his brother who was already a little crazy, fearing that he would end up in a miserable end.

But Li Qingye's painstaking efforts will inevitably be wasted.

Li Shujie glanced at him, and his guilty expression flashed. He sighed and said, "The Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty we want. Given the degree of dependence on the Taoist sect, even if you beg, he will definitely not be transferred to me. Therefore, I must compete with you for this position."

When Li Qingye heard this, his expression was depressed.

He knew that after the emperor said this, all his feelings and past disappeared. Those childhood laughter, tears, touching, love, support for each other, and respectful brothers, and nothing can come back.

He lamented in his heart: Is the Tian family really not affectionate?

Li Shujie was also a little confused, standing there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long silence, Li Qingye arrived two glasses of wine and handed them to his brother. He thought for a while and said solemnly: "Brother, brother, my father will not announce the throne for a day, and I will not fight with you for a day, but I also have people who want to protect him." After that, he raised his head and drank it all, and then placed the wine glass on the table.

Li Shujie sighed and said, "Qingye, my second brother, I promise you that as long as you don't stop me from the front, I will never attack you. If you violate this oath, there will be such a cup." After that, he drank it all, then threw the wine glass to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

Li Qingye stared at him in a daze for a long time, then nodded, turned around and left the door. At this time, his eyes were already red.

"Qingye, I have one last sentence." Li Shujie shouted out loudly.

Li Qingye stopped and did not look back.

Li Shujie said: "Only you and I know what we are talking about today, but there is no way for the outside world to know. No matter who you tell me, I will not admit it. You must remember this."

After hearing this, Li Qingye nodded slowly, then opened the door of the private room and strode out.

Li Shujie turned his head and looked at the lake outside the window and sighed again.

This result was long ago as he expected. He knew that no matter how he discussed it, his younger brother would not agree to his decision to play with fire and burn himself.

For more than ten years, the brothers have a deep friendship, and the younger brother respects him very much and never disobeys. Li Shujie knows his younger brother's temperament well and knows that he will never give up this affection. Therefore, he intends to speak out today so that he will not actively compete with him due to the situation.

No matter how passionate about power and profit is, he is still unwilling to hurt this smart, kind and only compatriot, and still has a little conscience in his heart.

However, he has his own ambitions, especially since he was suppressed by Li Tianduo in the past twenty years, which made him feel humiliated. Once he has the power to counterattack today, he will inevitably burn and stop until his death.

He looked at the rippling waves on the lake, thought of the next series of plans and arrangements, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking: Who is not a chess piece? Now I am sitting in Chang'an, and I am the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is waiting for the fish to struggle, and in the end I will inevitably have a knife on the board. The national religion, the throne, and the world are all mine, but only mine.

......

......

Li Qingye left Juyun Tower and walked in a daze on the street.

He didn't know where to go, and he didn't know where to fall in pain.

The emperor's brother was openly made public with him today. In fact, he had expected it, but he did not expect that he would be so crazy and willing to fall into depravity. He would not hesitate to join hands with the enemy to plan such a shocking move.

Is that the throne so important?

Isn’t he afraid of chaos in the world and corpses everywhere?

Or is he aware that the throne is hopeless and wants to make a bet on his own?

After all, it's just a moth to the fire.

He walked several streets, not knowing where he should go in the end.

Finally, he felt a little tired, so he looked around in a daze, then found a shop without opening and sat at the door.

He stared blankly at the passers-by on the road, without any hope. After a while, two lines of clear tears fell from his eyes, and he didn't wipe them, and he burst into tears without stopping.

Later, he finally couldn't help it, hugged his knees with his hands, buried his head deeply in it, and burst into tears.

When the passers-by saw his luxurious clothes, they were a little surprised and thought: Which young master is, how could he cry alone here? However, no one came forward to ask.

He sat there helplessly, paying tribute to those years that could not be returned with tears. He was so sad and so frightened, just like a loving mother who was separated from his kind mother and panicked and helpless child in the prosperous market.
