The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1049

Li Yuan then proposed, "As long as you, Lord Bao, are willing to poison the Emperor's medicine, not only will these gold and silver treasures not be harmed, but your family will also be absolutely safe."

Li Yuan used Bao Ze's family as leverage, and Bao Ze remained silent for a while before finally having no choice but to agree.

"That's right, Lord Bao. As the saying goes, 'A wise man knows when to yield,' and we can't generalize about everything."

"Look, if you had agreed so readily earlier, your family wouldn't have to suffer this fear."

Although Bao Ze inwardly looked down on Li Yuan, he did not show any displeasure on his face.

"Your Highness is right. Now that I have agreed, when will Your Highness release my family?"

Bao Ze remained calm.

Li Yuan said with a smile, "Lord Bao, don't worry, your family is staying quite well with me."

"If this matter succeeds, I will absolutely not treat Lord Bao unfairly."

Bao Ze nodded.

Since Li Yuan didn't mention releasing his family, he didn't ask any further questions.

For Li Yuan now, Bao Ze's family is his last bargaining chip.

He only feels safe when he has all those people under his control.

If Li Zhi dies prematurely, he can rest easy.

After the two of them finished their business and left, Xu Tian and Song Ren came out of another room together.

Watching Li Yuan's departing figure on the street.

A faint smile appeared on Xu Tian's lips.

He then came out of the inn.

Xu Tian gave a cold laugh as he looked at the two people who had originally been traveling the same way but then walked out of the inn at the same time.

News spread in the palace that Li Zhi was critically ill.

Everyone was busy running around, their feet barely had time to stop.

Xu Tian was alone in Li Zhi's bedroom.

They were guarding a pine nut outside.

After this incident, Xu Tian took the opportunity to spread the rumor that he was abdicating in favor of Xun Qinwang.

"That way, we can let those two fight like dogs."

Anyway, neither of these two people were good people, so Xu Tian simply let them fight each other.

In this way, they can also reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Now that they know Li Zhi is seriously ill, those people have long been restless.

If it weren't for Xu Tian guarding the area, those people would probably have rebelled long ago.

They're all no better than Li Yuan.

Everyone was waiting for this good opportunity.

They could take the capital in one fell swoop.

Xu Tian felt that these people's brains were simply not up to par.

"We must make Li Yuan believe this."

Li Zhi spoke.

He couldn't believe that his brothers would be in such a state.

But now, even if he no longer believes it, it has become a fact.

His brothers were even willing to kill each other for the throne.

I've never taken the so-called brotherhood too seriously.

After Li Yuan's performance, now it's time to see his true talent shine.

Knowing that Li Zhi intended to abdicate in favor of Xun Qinwang, Li Yuan was filled with jealousy.

He never expected that he would put on such a performance after returning.

Li Zhi was completely unmoved by him.

After a cold snort, Li Yuan directly sent assassins to infiltrate Xun Qinwang's mansion, intending to kill all the members of Xun Qinwang's family.
