After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"Dong Sheng, it's actually...you?"

The Empress's face was filled with disbelief.

these years.

How to orchestrate the introduction of the Mahayana sect and the Netherworld race into the imperial city, and how to protect the dragon vein...

Emperor Wu consulted Dong Tianshu on all plans.

Therefore, the other party was able to successfully break the seal on the dragon vein.

The Empress was very upset.

Dong Tianshu was even more depressed.

The original plan was to open the dragon vein without bloodshed, overthrow the Zhou dynasty, and establish a new dynasty.

Unexpectedly, after looking at the other party's script layout, this was the final result.

The Mahayana religion and the Netherworld race were wiped out, not to mention.

The two terrestrial deities, Ba and Ming, had their dragon veins removed.

Moreover, their lives are in danger.

Even though he abandoned the two emperors and went into hiding, he was still discovered.

If the decades of planning have yielded some results...

That is, in any case, at least the seal on the dragon vein has been broken as planned.

however.

The seal could be broken, but the bigger reason was probably that Zhou Yi had no intention of interfering.

"Hahaha……"

Dong Tianshu smiled slightly, giving an irrelevant answer, and sighed.

"The Zhou family has produced a fine grandson; a true dragon has emerged!"

"The Crown Prince's unexpected and powerful rise was completely unexpected by me."

The second prince and the others were not only surprised, but also puzzled.

The sixth prince couldn't help but ask:

"Prince Yi, how did you discover the hiding place of Dong Sheng... Dong Tianshu?"

Before Zhou Yi could answer, Dong Tianshu opened his palm and said with a helpless, bitter smile:

"It's because of it."

Everyone looked closely.

Two bright red blood beads floated silently in Dong Tianshu's palm.

"This is the blood and sweat of Zhu Anshi and the ancestor of the Underworld Clan."

Zhou Yi explained, "Because their blood was taken care of by Dong Tianshu."

"After being killed, one can be reborn by dripping blood."

Blackwood Cliff and the Netherworld Abyss lead to the location of the underground sealing formation of the Dragon Vein.

With Zhu Anshi's and the Netherworld Ancestor's abilities, they simply couldn't reach that point.

Therefore, Zhou Yi speculated.

There must have been a powerful figure pulling the strings behind the scenes for the two of them to be able to make contact with the Overlord Emperor and the Underworld Emperor.

In other words.

Not only Zhu Anshi and the Netherworld Ancestor, but also Ba and the Netherworld Emperors were all pawns in Dong Tianshu's scheme.

Everything Zhou Yi did was to lure Dong Tianshu out.

if not.

Regardless of whether it's Mahayana Buddhism or the Underworld Clan.

It doesn't matter whether it's the Overlord Emperor or the Underworld Emperor.

There's absolutely no need to go through the trouble of luring the capital to the capital; we can simply attack and destroy it.

"Dong Sheng, why have you rebelled against me?" the Emperor Wu asked angrily.

"For the world, for all living beings!" Dong Tianshu replied, raising his hand and raising his arm.

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Master, you truly have the world in your heart!"

"Not bad!"

Dong Tianshu seemed unable to understand sarcasm, and spoke passionately,

"To establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, to secure a destiny for the people, to continue the lost learning of the sages, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations!"

"Dong Sheng, a man of noble character!"

"The words of the sage are truly enlightening!"

"Dong Sheng's teachings are like a resounding bell, a sudden enlightenment!"

……

The civil officials, like filial sons and grandsons, immediately jumped out.

They lavishly praised Dong Tianshu's words.

"You bastard, you unleash wicked spirits and undead to slaughter the entire city's inhabitants, and you call that acting in the name of the common people?"

The fourth prince couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the scholars' flattery, directly slapping them in the face.

The civil officials were speechless for a moment.

Confucianism and Taoism emphasize benevolence and propriety, but the massacre of innocent people certainly cannot be considered "for the sake of all living beings".

They opened their mouths, wanting to explain, but couldn't find a reason.

"Hehe, harmony between heaven and man is the true way to bring well-being to all people." Dong Tianshu smiled gently.

Harmony between man and nature?

The Emperor's face darkened.

Isn't this the governing philosophy that Dong Tianshu has been trying to sell to him?

The content is: the monarchy is divinely ordained, and the emperor acts on behalf of Heaven to rule the world.

Clearly, the "harmony between man and nature" they were referring to was not what they meant.

"Yes, Dong Sheng truly has the heart to serve the people!"

"Dong Sheng, who cares about the world, is truly a role model for us all!"

……

Although they didn't understand what Dong Tianshu was saying, the ministers still fawned over him.

A hint of suspicion flashed through Zhou Yi's mind, and he smiled:

"Refining an entire world, what a grand ambition!"

“You…” Dong Tianshu’s expression changed.

I want to ask the other person how they knew that.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he had been tricked into telling the truth.

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "I also know that you were just being instructed by someone else."

Although it was a guess, he spoke with absolute certainty.

Because Dong Tianshu lacked the ambition to conquer the world.

"As expected of Prince Yi, you are indeed formidable!"

Dong Tianshu smiled elegantly and gave a thumbs up.

He believed that all of this was just Zhou Yi's speculation.

However, the other party's guess was so accurate, as if they knew it in advance.

The ability to deduce the whole picture from the smallest details is truly admirable.

All the emperor and his ministers were terrified.

Dong Tianshu was essentially admitting that what Zhou Yi said was true.

Things are getting increasingly serious.

The Mahayana Buddhist rebellion was just the tip of the iceberg.

Behind it all, an even bigger conspiracy was lurking.

Moreover, one wave of experts followed after another.

As far as the ministers knew, it was nothing more than the Mahayana sect and the underworld clan plotting a rebellion against the court.

The Martial Emperor knew more and guessed that it was the Overlord Emperor and the Underworld Emperor who were behind it.

After coming into contact with the two emperors, Zhou Yi keenly sensed that there was a mysterious master behind them.

The mysterious master was revealed to be none other than Dong Tianshu, who had been advising the Martial Emperor.

Unexpectedly, the other party made a pretentious remark.

It was revealed that Dong Tianshu still has a powerful figure behind him.

This surprised Zhou Yi greatly.

There are many who covet the Qianlong Empire.

Empress Wu and her princes felt powerless.

They can still handle people like Zhu Anshi and the old ancestor of the Underworld Clan.

The two emperors, Ba and Ming, are no longer a match for them.

Now, a mysterious figure has suddenly emerged from behind the two emperors.

Behind the mysterious figure, there is an even bigger backer.

The fate of the Great Qian Dynasty is probably in grave danger.

No, whether it can be saved depends on the Grandson of the Emperor.

In any case, the princes had completely lost their spirit.

The Empress remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was also filled with sorrow.

Dong Tianshu had been lying in wait by his side for decades, and had thoroughly investigated the foundations of the dynasty.

Since the other party dared to make a move, they must be confident of victory.

After all, the other party was watching his open strategy.

The only one outside of the other party's plan.

Only the grandson of the emperor, who had suddenly returned to the capital from the remote Liangzhou, was among them.

Will the Great Qian Dynasty, with its millennia-long reign, be able to continue?

The entire lineage is held by the grandson of the emperor.

……

Zhou Yi frowned slightly.

I never imagined that my enemies would be like nesting dolls.

Outside the little baby, there is the big baby; outside the big baby, there is an even bigger baby, and even bigger babies...

"So, you were also involved in the Crown Prince case." Zhou Yi's voice turned cold.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Dong Tianshu's face as he said:

"I'm just offering some advice to both sides."

"Heh heh," Zhou Yi thought with disdain.

Here, we offer suggestions to Emperor Wu on how to strategize.

Then, he offered advice to the two emperors, Ba and Ming, on how to break the Martial Emperor's plan.

Empress Wu could no longer suppress her anger.

He had been holding a grudge against it all along.

It is believed that the dragon vein seal was broken today because Zhou Yi had selfish motives.

They were unwilling to intervene and were even pleased with the outcome.

Unexpectedly, his biggest mistake turned out to be himself.

It was he who revealed all the plans to his biggest rival.

Throughout his life of conquest and expansion, Emperor Wu had never suffered such a great loss.

"Dong Tianshu, let's fight!"

The Martial Emperor's aura surged, and he issued a domineering challenge.
