Even if there is no evidence, as long as King Yao becomes suspicious, Qingyang's planned action will face unprecedented resistance!
Many of her arrangements are no longer needed.
The key to the success of this operation lies in the trust that Yao Wang has in Bai Tan. Bai Tan has spent nearly 20 years to build up an image of a staunch supporter of the king and a loyal person. If this trust is shaken, all the previous efforts will be wasted!
It can be said that from the moment King Yao sent the palace guards to arrest Shi Songwei, Bai Tan was in danger of being exposed. Regardless of whether the Shi family was caught or not, or whether they gave him up or not, he could only have two possible endings:
Either the event will succeed and the Yao King will be overthrown;
Either he would be suspected by King Yao, thrown into prison, or Qingyang would be implicated.
"But the Shi brothers have a complicated network of relationships. Bai Tan, as a 'loyal minister' of King Yao, will probably be suspected last." Qingyang's thinking was clear, "We already have everything ready. Now, while King Yao is dazzled, we should act immediately!"
Even the stubborn and suspicious King Yao was impressed by Bai Tan's performance over the years. Not long ago, he even rushed to buy the front row seats at Youhu Villa, giving King Yao a big token of his allegiance!
Those tens of thousands of taels of silver will work just fine if you spend them.
Moreover, he had recently performed well in suppressing the refugee riots and was commended by King Yao.
It would take King Yao longer to suspect him.
This is called, darkness under the lamp.
Qingyang must seize this opportunity and launch an attack!
Otherwise the opportunity will be fleeting and you will miss it too.
In fact, the best opportunity to start a rebellion was the night of Emperor Liujiang. But King Yao had already become suspicious of her, and she couldn't get the right time that night anyway, so she might as well just do it a few days in advance!
The water mirror showed only one word:
"it is good!"
Then, it turned back into a normal mirror and the water vapor disappeared.
Yuan Xuan whispered, "Envoy Bai has not returned yet."
The plan was suddenly moved forward and Bai Ziqi didn't have time to return to Tianshui City.
Qingyang sneered: "Why wait for him? He Xiao is no longer important."
Putting her plan into practice is the top priority!
Yuan Xuan hesitated to speak, and Qingyang saw it: "Go ahead."
"You once asked me to keep an eye on the market for Prunella Vulgaris. I just received feedback that no one in the towns and villages around Mangzhou is buying large quantities of Prunella Vulgaris. The yield of Prunella Vulgaris in that area is also very small. There are no farmers who specialize in growing it. It is only collected sporadically in the suburbs." Yuan Xuan paused, "I also sent people to check the places where the Nine Nether Emperor appeared in the early days, and there is no record of this herb."
Qingyang hummed: "It seems it is not a snail toad."
After all, Yao is not Beiga, and does not have extremely rich products and few vertical subdivisions. In Beiga, many rare medicinal herbs can be cultivated on a large scale, but in Yao, they can only be collected in the wild, so the output is very unstable.
So, how did He Xiao's men kill the Red House owner's flipping blenny? Would this thing open its mouth to catch explosives?
Thinking of this, another question flashed through her mind:
What role did He Xiao play in this recent series of events?
Is he doing something bad again?
Qingyang pressed his forehead.
Whenever she thought of He Xiao, she would easily become distracted.
No, she had to focus on her own great cause and not care about this individual.
No matter who He Xiao is or what he has done, Bai Ziqi will be there to deal with him.
She only needs to complete the tasks assigned to her by the Emperor and the Gods!
"The plan has started." She said to Yuan Xuan, "Prepare the car! Go and invite the messenger."
……
The Youhu Villa is very large. It takes more than a quarter of an hour to drive from the house where she stayed to the main entrance of the villa.
The construction of Youhu Villa opposite has been stopped, and the south bank of Youhu Lake is still a half-finished construction site in a mess.
However, the gate and main road of the villa have been repaired. As a face-saving project, it must be built in a grand and exquisite way, with hills, lakes, flowers, trees, and woods, and there is no shortage of fish, insects, birds, and animals.
Soon, the Qingyang Regent's carriage slowly approached the exit and was about to leave through the main gate of the villa. The guards followed on horseback.
There is only a stone road outside the door, and it takes more than a hundred feet to reach the official road.
Also in the car with Qingyang was a messenger from Beiga.
Every two or three years, Beijia would send envoys to visit the Yao Kingdom from afar to exchange information.
Because the journey was long and tiring, envoys would often be rewarded with promotions after returning home. Therefore, countless officials in Lingxu City hoped to travel across the ocean to get this gilded resume.
The officialdom in Lingxu City is also very complicated.
This time, the special envoy from Bega was named Wu. He just arrived in Tianshui City two days ago. He came to pay a visit to the old state teacher first, and at the same time applied to Dianke for a meeting with King Yao.
Considering the relationship between Yao State and Beijia, this does not go beyond the rules.
Qingyang was about to enter Tianshui City, so she asked Envoy Wu to take her carriage and go with her. Envoy Wu and a dozen of his guards also rode on both sides of the carriage with Qingwei.
The two sides had a very pleasant conversation in the car.
This special envoy Wu was the nephew of the Queen Mother of Qu State. He had studied in the Imperial College of Lingxu City for three years and then stayed in Lingxu City to become an official. He was a lucky one among thousands of students.
Qingyang was reserved and gentle, and spoke politely, which made the Wu envoy flattered.
During his time in Lingxu City, he had only seen Imperial Master Qingyang once from afar and had never dealt with her. However, he heard that the old Imperial Master was of noble status, majestic and arrogant. Once, a ruler of a small country went to visit her in person, but waited for seven days but was not able to see her.
Now that she has become the regent of Yao State, her performance is inconsistent with the rumors.
"How is the Emperor doing lately?" Qingyang looked at the scenery outside the window. Anyone who knew her well would know that this was her expression of carelessness.
She was thinking about how to clean up after tonight.
Yao State and Beijia have always had a close relationship. Many of Yao State's aristocratic children went to Lingxu City to study when they were young, and returned to the country to serve as officials after completing their studies. They knew how powerful Beijia was, and even invested their family property in Beijia, and were full of awe for Qingyang, who represented Beijia's power.
Even though King Yao used the two projects of Youhu Villa and Tianshui Eastward Expansion to kidnap most officials to his chariot, the officials were still unwilling to offend Beiga, as she still had many leverage over them.
Therefore, many officials and nobles in Yao State are still working for her openly or secretly.
Therefore, Qingyang's control over the situation in Tianshui City is actually far beyond outsiders' imagination.
To Yao Wangting, she is no longer an "outsider".
So, when the inevitable chaos tonight is over, how much say will she have in Yao Country and Tianshui City?
At that time, the goddess must support her own candidate, and Qingyang represents the interests of the demon emperor, so who should she choose? She actually has several candidates in her hand.
Envoy Wu didn't notice her absent-mindedness and answered seriously: "Your Majesty is as majestic and wise as ever! I heard that the trade route from Julu Port to Yao Country has been free of bandits in the past six months and is now very peaceful. Your Majesty hopes..."
