When they returned to the Imperial Residence of King An, the four Imperial House Internal Guards were still by Siao Tieying's side.
When they arrived at the Imperial Residence of King An, the four Imperial House Internal Guards relaxed a little and no longer stuck close to Siao Tieying.
In the evening, the setting sun shone on the backyard of the Imperial Residence of King An.
Chu Li and Siao Tieying sat in a gazebo in the backyard and chatted.
"Chu Li, based on what you said, do you have any thoughts about the throne?"
Chu Li said, "To be honest, I want Xu An to fight for the throne."
If he wanted to push Xu An to succeed to the throne, he would not be able to rely on himself. He needed more help. The Public House did not seem strong at first glance, but it was deeply rooted and everywhere. Moreover, the power hidden in the dark could often win by surprise and determine the outcome of the battle.
Not everything in the world could be solved by martial arts. Sometimes, even the most powerful martial arts could not do anything.
"Xu An?" Siao Tieying frowned, "You're dreaming. Xu An is the next prince and he's King An's son. If he's King Jing's son, there's still a chance."
"Xu An is a disciple of the Titanium Temple and a Buddhist. Cultivating the Ten Lifetimes of Dharma, he will eventually become a Buddha. If he succeeds the throne, with the support of the Titanium Temple, the Imperial Family will no longer be suppressed by the Tempest Temple. "
"Hmm, this is a great temptation!" Siao Tieying nodded.
As the heir to the House of High Dukes, he knew what the Emperor was worried about.
The Tempest Temple was already the Emperor's inner demon. He could not win against the Temple's Enlightened Masters and the Imperial Court could not suppress the Tempest Temple. As such, he could not control the Ji Dynasty as he wished and weakened the country's power.
Chu Li said, "But this alone is not enough. What other ideas do you have?"
"Sigh …" Siao Tieying sighed and smiled bitterly, "I really can't think of any advantages for Xu An. He is not familiar with politics. King Jing is proficient in politics and knows the Imperial Court like the back of his hand. He is not afraid of being deceived by the Chancellors."
Chu Li nodded.
Siao Tieying said, "Also, he is too young. Even if he succeeds the throne, he will at most be in his twenties?"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded helplessly.
"He's at an impulsive age." Siao Tieying shook his head and said, "A man without hair on his mouth is not reliable. The courtiers find it hard to trust him."
Chu Li frowned and pondered. "You want him to make enough contributions and contribute enough?"
"He's too young to enter the imperial court." Siao Tieying sighed, "No one will be able to witness his wisdom."
Chu Li smiled and said, "He's a disciple of the Titanium Temple. He possesses divine powers and his wisdom is far beyond that of an ordinary person's. You can feel how extraordinary he is just by interacting with him."
"That's good." Siao Tieying nodded and said, "People will always have some respect and tolerance for extraordinary people."
Chu Li said, "It's not difficult to be proficient in political affairs. As long as you find a good master to teach you for a while, you'll be able to grasp it quickly. Xu An's wisdom is definitely not something King Jing can compare to."
"If that's the case …" Siao Tieying smiled, "It's a huge advantage."
Chu Li nodded. "Xu An's wisdom is worthy of the word 'wise'."
Xu An's talents were shocking. Coupled with his training in the Titanium Temple, he would be even more shocking, far surpassing King Jing. This was his biggest advantage. However, if he wanted to turn these advantages into real power, he still needed to have enough tricks up his sleeves.
Siao Tieying said, "If that's the case, Xu An taking the throne isn't just a fantasy!"
Chu Li said, "I'm planning to let Xu An enter the Fairy's Capital in the last three years to influence the people. Then, I'll cooperate with him to build momentum. As for King Jing …"
He shook his head and sighed. "I don't have any grudges with King Jing. Unfortunately …"
"There's no room for sentiment in the fight for the throne," Siao Tieying said.
Chu Li said, "King Jing has Lu Yurong as his mastermind. It won't be easy to deal with him."
Siao Tieying chuckled.
He knew Lu Yurong's intelligence the best. Back then, they were suppressed by the Ren Public House to the point where they could not even lift their heads. Hence, he hated and feared Lu Yurong. If it were not for Chu Li's appearance, the Yi Public House would probably still be suppressed by the Ren Public House.
Chu Li looked at him.
Siao Tieying smiled. "I heard from my younger sister that Lu Yurong has a good impression of you. I know that Lu Yurong has always had her eyes on the top of her head. She looks down on all men in the world."
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "She's just imagining things."
"Women tend to leave their husbands. I have an idea. It'll kill two birds with one stone," Siao Tieying laughed.
Chu Li smiled. "Forget it."
Siao Tieying laughed. "You've guessed it? Taking Lu Yurong in will weaken King Jing and strengthen ourselves. It's killing two birds with one stone. Why not? "
Chu Li laughed. "Big Brother, if Xiao Qi heard what you just said, she'll definitely scold you."
"I can't help it. It's for the good of everyone," Siao Tieying smiled. "I can see that you and I are not on the same path. You have a lot of thoughts."
If the Ren Public House and the Yi Public House could unite instead of being enemies, it would be the best.
He was still afraid of the Ren Public House. Chu Li was fighting for the throne in the Fairy's Capital. Lu Yurong would not sit still and wait for death. She would definitely use Chu Li's weakness to deal with the Yi Public House.
Instead of being enemies, it was better to become friends. With Chu Li and Lu Yurong's wisdom combined, they might be able to push Xu An to the throne.
Otherwise, King Jing's advantage was too great. With Lu Yurong's plan, Xu An would be far from the throne.
Chu Li shook his head. "Big Brother, don't worry. It's impossible."
"I'm not testing you!" Siao Tieying said.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. He looked behind him.
Xiao Qi suddenly appeared and glared at Siao Tieying coldly.
Siao Tieying turned his head and scratched the back of his head awkwardly. He laughed and tried to get himself out of the situation. "Younger Sister, when did you come?"
Xiao Qi's martial arts was far better than his. She did not even notice when she got close. He was afraid that she had already arrived and was eavesdropping on them. That would be too embarrassing.
Xiao Qi said lightly, "You're really my good big brother!"
Siao Tieying felt that something was wrong. He quickly smiled. "Younger Sister, I was just testing Chu Li. It seems like he's not bad!"
Xiao Qi rolled her eyes at him. "Big Brother, what other ideas do you have?"
"Well …" Siao Tieying quickly said, "I can't get involved in the open. I can only help in the dark."
"That's good." Xiao Qi said, "It's not easy to be the Crown Prince. There will always be mistakes. Big Brother, just help keep an eye on it."
Siao Tieying quickly said, "No problem!"
He was a little embarrassed. "Then I won't disturb you two anymore. Go and rest. Send me back tomorrow."
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi watched Siao Tieying's silhouette disappear at the corner of the quiet path. She turned her head and glanced at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled. "With Big Brother's help, it'll be much easier."
"Big Brother's suggestion didn't tempt you?" Xiao Qi said lightly.
Chu Li laughed. "You're doing it again!"
Xiao Qi said, "I'm serious. I'm not testing you."
She knew herself well. Ever since she got married, her Regal Sword Scripture had become more and more refined. As it progressed, she could feel that her emotions had become indifferent. It was as if she had lost all excitement.
Previously, when she was lying in Chu Li's arms, she was so excited that her whole body was trembling. She was so excited that her mind went blank. Now that she was lying in Chu Li's arms, she only felt warm and peaceful.
