Just when Lin Mo and Tang Yunu were kissing each other in the living room, the atmosphere in Ansheng Palace was a bit solemn. Empress Dowager Xuan Shu closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage of the palace maids. Xuan Yuan's face was a little gloomy and unpredictable, and there was no sign of joy or anger.

After leaving Lin's mansion, Xuan Yuan hurried to Ansheng Palace and met Empress Dowager Xuan Shu. He told his sister in detail about the conversation between him and Lin Mo in Lin's mansion.

"Brother, do you think Jian Ying's death is related to Lin Ziyong?" After hearing Xuan Yuan's story, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu thought about it and couldn't grasp Lin Mo's pulse, so she had to ask.

"It doesn't matter whether it is related or not. This is a good opportunity. We have to wait for King Rong to make a mistake." Xuan Yuan sipped out a sip of fragrant tea and slowly sniffed it out, just putting off the tea cup.

"Wrong?" Empress Dowager Xuan Shu glanced at Xuan Yuan and said in a low tone: "What a cautious person, King Rong is. There are many smart people around him. How could he make a mistake? Brother, isn't he pleased his sister?"

As far as Empress Dowager Xuan Shu knows, over the years, King Rong has mainly used methods such as showing kindness and respect for the wise and humble people, and has gathered many capable people to help him lay a solid foundation for the Rong Wang party, confronted himself in the court, and formed a situation of dividing the world.

When Xuan Yuan heard this, he smiled faintly: "Empress Dowager, this is the cleverness of Lin Mo's methods. If King Rong wants to save Cao Yan's life, there is only one way to replace prisoners. If he doesn't save him, Cao Yuan will probably feel resentful towards him and even betray him."

"Well, my brother's implication is that Lin Mo did what Jian Ying did? This is the big gift he gave to the Ai family." Although Xuan Yuan did not have a positive question and answer, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu had already heard what he meant.

Xuan Yuan nodded his head, but then changed the subject: "Empress Dowager, since Lin Mo has delivered this great gift, we must be prepared to take over the Ministry of Revenue, or the Ministry of Criminal Revenue."

"What if King Rong took Cao Yuan away from the position of the Ministry of Revenue and abandoned him? Then Lin Mo's heavy gift would be gone." Xuan Shu was also a wise man, so she naturally saw the truth in it.

"Empress Dowager, King Rong will not do it." Xuan Yuan shook his head, and a smile that was clear at the corner of his lips: "Of the three paths, it is undoubtedly the stupidest behavior to abandon Cao Yuan. This will make his subordinates feel cold. King Rong will definitely not choose this worst path."

Giving up Cao Yuan seems to have the least damage, but in fact it is the greatest. If King Rong abandons his subordinates to protect the so-called overall situation once something happens, he may feel chill in his subordinates' hearts, thinking that King Rong is a ruthless person, and that his subordinates will leave a way out for themselves when doing things.

This is the real self-destruction of the Great Wall, and it is the worst choice!

Empress Dowager Xuan Shu understood the meaning of Xuan Yuan's words and smiled slightly: "Then in this way, King Rong can only choose to cut off his arm and give up his Ministry of Revenue?"

The strategy of replacing prisoners is clearly going to fall into your own trap, which is like ruining two prisoners at the same time. Now choosing to abandon one department of the Ministry of Revenue is undoubtedly the best choice with the least loss.

Xuan Yuan still shook his head: "No, now King Rong has only one way to choose from, that is, take two prisoners to gamble, and the best decision is to replace prisoners.

"Why is this? The Ai family is confused." Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was shocked and did not understand her brother's amazing words.

The replacement of prisoners is clearly the case that he will be waiting for the rabbit and implicated the Ministry of Justice. How can it be the best strategy? If Cao Yan is not saved, he will be the main strategy? If Empress Dowager Xuan Shu can't figure it out.

Xuan Yuan explained: "Although choosing to replace prisoners will implicate the Ministry of Revenue, King Rong can get the hearts of his subordinates and demonstrate his virtue of affection and friendship. Moreover, even if Cao Yuan and Meng Yan do not serve as doctors of the Ministry of Justice, King Rong still has a deep foundation in the Ministry of Justice. We want to insert it and have to waste some effort."

King Rong has been in charge of the two ministries of the Criminal House for many years and has already attracted many people in the two ministries. He also chose to replace prisoners. Meng Yan and Cao Yuan's subordinates will still be loyal to King Rong. It will naturally not be easy for the Later Party to completely control the two ministries.

"Since we are going to insert it, what kind of gift Lin Ziyong gave me is considered a gift?" Since it was very difficult to control the two ministries of the prisoners, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was immediately dissatisfied.

Xuan Yuan smiled and shook his head again: "Empress Dowager, you are really angry. You forgot that we have arranged personnel in the Ministry of Revenue. As long as our people become doctors of the Ministry of Revenue, it is only a matter of time before we master the Ministry of Revenue."

Among the six ministries, both parties had their own people, and those who decided on the ownership of the six ministries had always been in the hands of which person. As long as the people from this side took office as a doctor, they could slowly remove the other party's people in various names, and then the other party began to penetrate again, forming a cycle.

"What about the Ministry of Justice?" Xuan Shu asked.

The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the Daqian Criminal Law, and can betray people's life and death in one sentence. Therefore, King Rong attaches great importance to the Ministry of Justice, and does not even belong to the Ministry of Revenue. Moreover, most officials of the Ministry of Justice were promoted by King Rong. Therefore, King Rong's power in the Ministry of Justice is particularly stable, and his own personnel are particularly weak in the Ministry of Justice, and only a few are in some more important positions.

Xuan Yuan smiled heartily: "The Ministry of Justice is even simpler. Once the prisoner is replaced, if Meng Yan does it himself, his subordinates will be responsible for supervising Shangguan. We can pull out Meng Yan and some of the forces of King Rong in the Ministry of Justice and arrange our own people in."

"If other people take action, Meng Yan will also be guilty of being ruthless in the control of subordinates. The people under the man will still be ruthless in the supervision of the superiors. In that way, we can still take the opportunity to take the post of Doctor of the Ministry of Justice, remove some of his forces, and finally slowly plan to put them in our hands."

In the Daqian Empire, if an official makes a mistake, both the superiors and the subordinates are guilty. The superiors are guilty of not being strict in the control of subordinates, and they will be implicated. If the subordinates are guilty of not being strict in the supervision of superiors, they will also be implicated.

After listening to Xuan Yuan's analysis, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu immediately smiled happily: "It seems that Lin Ziyong gave Ai's family a heavy gift. Two 200,000 gold leaves were bought for two prisoners. Haha--"

King Rong took away her 50,000 troops in Jiangzhou a few days ago. He was probably happy. Now, in a blink of an eye, Lin Mo helped her take down two extremely important criminal departments. How could Empress Dowager Xuan Shu not be happy?

Seeing that the two prisoners who were about to be obtained were immediately able to control Lin Mo, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was happy, but when she heard a piece of information from her subordinates, she immediately turned to sadness, and even became furious.

A man wearing imperial guards' armor came in under the leadership of the palace maid, bowed to Xuan Yuan and Empress Dowager Xuan Shu one after another, and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager's action failed. Except for the ministers, all the rest were killed."

The joy on Empress Dowager Xuan Shu's face suddenly subsided and she said angrily: "Failed? How is it possible? You are the great sword master, and you have brought several sword masters and more than a dozen great sword masters. How can you fail?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xuan Yuan looked confused: "Empress Dowager, what actions are you doing? Why don't you know?"

Empress Dowager Xuan Shu glanced at Xuan Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and then glanced at the man and signaled him to tell Xuan Yuan everything he had arranged.

On the official road outside Gantian City, the group of men in black who kidnapped Xiao Shuya was sent by Empress Dowager Xuan Shu. She was preparing to kidnap Xiao Shuya to threaten Lin Mo and let him truly belong to her, but in the end, Lin Mo was the first to become a senior.

After listening to the man's story, Xuan Yuan's face changed and he sighed: "Empress Dowager, you are confused! How do you want to make Xiao Shuya's idea? When Xiao Shuya returns to Pingzhou, Lin Ziyong is doing things? How could he not send great cultivators with strong realms to protect her safety."

"I assert that the reason why Xiao Shuya was so high-profile when she left the city was that her low-level practitioners must be the bait deliberately released by Xiao Shuya and Lin Mo, with the purpose of attracting our people and killing them."

"Oh, since the matter has happened, I will think of a solution!" Listening to Xuan Yuan's sighing tone, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu also sighed. Unexpectedly, this kidnapping failed, and she also lost four sword masters and more than ten great swordsmen. This really caused a loss of soldiers and generals.

Compared with the practitioners, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu, King Rong and others are far from Lin Mo. The practitioners who lost this time also hurt Empress Dowager Xuan Shu's vitality, especially the deaths of the four sword masters.

Xuan Shu is his sister, but she is even more a big-hearted queen mother. Xuan Yuan did not dare to speak too seriously, so he had to follow Empress Dowager Xuan Shu and start to think about his ideas. At this time, the man took out a letter from his arms and said, "Empress Dowager, this is a letter found in Ahui, for you."

After taking the man's letter, he saw four running script characters "The Queen Mother's Inscription" written on the cover of the letter. Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was slightly surprised, and then opened the letter and read it:

I am visiting the Empress Dowager. I have three things to report to the Empress Dowager: First, if you dare to touch the woman around me again in the future, I guarantee that there will be no more practitioners to use. Second, the heavy gift has been given, please accept it. Third, everything has a price, and I look forward to continuing to do business with you.

After reading the letter, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu closed her on the low table beside her and said angrily: "Lin Ziyong is so brave. How dare he threaten the Ai family in the letter and write his name. Are you not afraid that the Ai family will tell King Rong?"

Xuan Yuan got up and took the seal and took it and took a quick look, then threw it into the charcoal furnace and burned it for ashes. Empress Dowager Xuan Shu reached out to stop it, but it was too late. She immediately said anxiously: "Brother, what are you doing? This is evidence that Lin Ziyong helped us to take down the two ministries of the Criminals. If it is handed over to King Rong, King Rong will certainly not be spared."

Xuan Yuan sat back on his original position, shook his head and smiled, "It's useless, Empress Dowager, this letter only mentioned that he had done business with you and gave you a gift. Did he mention helping you to win two prisoners? Furthermore, this letter also threatens you. I'm afraid that King Rong and King Rong will only set up plans to use Lin Mo's hands to get rid of our trained practitioners."

After hearing Xuan Yuan's words, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu felt angry again: "Are we just being suppressed by Lin Ziyong? He still bids, and then watches him dealing with us, King Yu Rong?"

Thoughtful that although she was a great queen mother in a country, she held half of the power, there were only a handful of powerful practitioners under her. Compared with Lin Mo's Mo Sect, she seemed to be the light of fireflies and the bright moon, which was not worth mentioning at all. Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was very angry.

Xuan Yuan hurriedly bowed and smiled, "Mrs. Queen Mother, please rest assured. I have contacted the people of Yuezong. In a few days, I promise that you will give Lin Ziyong a warning and kill him with arrogance."

"There will be a laborer in the Ai family to worry about Lin Ziyong's affairs!" Thinking that the people from Yuezong had arrived and were setting up a situation against Lin Mo, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu finally showed a smile on her face.

After handing over Lin Mo's affairs to Xuan Yuan for handling, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu felt a sense of pleasure, and suddenly thought of another thing and asked immediately: "By the way, in a few days, Princess Rena of the Western Regions will be the bride. Are you ready for me?"

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, I have prepared myself and I will definitely not let King Rong succeed." Xuan Yuan gave a bow and showed a smile on his face. He was obviously very confident in the person he prepared.

"By the way, I heard from the Ai family that Lin Ziyong is also going to participate in Princess Rena's bride recruitment from the Western Regions, but it's true?"

When Empress Dowager Xuan Shu received the information from her subordinates, she was also shocked. She never expected that Lin Mo, who had never practiced or practiced martial arts, had also gotten involved. Isn’t that asking for trouble?

Xuan Yuan thought for a while and said, "It should be true. Lin Ziyong has always been romantic. He probably was fascinated by the Western Region princess at the Luanying Banquet. He went there on a whim. It was also possible that the emperor forced him to go."

Empress Dowager Xuan Shu laughed loudly and said, "Lin Ziyong's life is a hard time. He doesn't even know Wu Yi, so he was forced to participate in the bride recruitment test. It's okay, Wu Shishan met him and let his subordinates take the opportunity to teach him a lesson, but don't hurt him."

"Yes, I understand!" Xuan Yuan replied respectfully and asked again: "Empress Dowager, do you need Lin Ziyong to help us overthrow us? Is it secretly revealed to King Rong to know?"

"No!" Empress Dowager Xuan Shu hurriedly waved her hand to stop her, "Now Lin Ziyong's position is not clear, and this move will only force him to vote for King Rong. If he really voted for King Rong, he would probably attack us to make up for King Rong's losses this time."

"Besides, Lin Ziyong is a man who is very skilled and does not leave us evidence to help us. In addition, King Rong is suspicious. Even if we disclose this news to him, he may not. He only thinks that we deliberately confuse him and deliberately make him suspicious of Lin Mo, so that we can recruit Lin Mo."

"Yes, it turns out that the Empress Dowager can see through it."

In the palace of King Rong.

Looking at the leaving think tank, King Rong looked a little ugly. He glanced at Xu Qiuniang who was making tea for himself, and asked slowly: "Qiuniang, which strategy do you think Lin Mo has given, should I choose?"

Xu Qiuniang used a bamboo clip to grab a purple clay tea cup from the hot water and replied, "Your Highness, just like the staff said just now, Cao Yan, we must save it. If we don't save it, we will make the hearts of others."

"Then how should we save it so that the losses will be smaller?" If we don't save it, it will be cold. King Rong also understood this truth. At this moment, he just wanted to minimize the losses.

Now, King Rong was in his heart that idiot Cao Yan cursed him bloody because that idiot killed and used both ways, which made him face the possibility of losing both prisoners.

Xu Qiuniang said: "Your Highness, our top priority is not to consider how to save Cao Yan. The Empress Dowager and the others will definitely be arrested in the current situation. Meng Yan and Cao Yan's position as a doctor cannot continue. We now have to find a way to push our people to the position of a doctor in the two ministries of the Criminal Households. Don't let the Empress Dowager and Xuan Yuan take advantage of the loopholes."

After taking the hot tea that Xu Qiuniang poured for him, King Rong pulled her into his arms, and said in silence for a while: "It's still Qiuniang who thinks carefully. We have to prepare early for the two ministries of the Criminals. So Qiuniang has someone already chosen?"

"I have already thought about it for you, Your Highness, yes..." Xu Qiuniang nodded and wanted to tell her the position of the stairs prisoner doctor whom she had chosen, but at this time, the great swordsman Di Wu walked in.

Di Wu walked in, bowed to the two of them, and said respectfully: "Report to your highness, according to the spies under his command, Xuan Yuan quietly went to see the people of the Chu delegation two days ago. It should be a joint effort with Yuezong to set up a bureau for Lin Ziyong."

"Set up a task for Lin Ziyong?" King Rong took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, shook his sleeves and said, "That's really interesting. I will wait and see how Lin Ziyong breaks the situation this time."

"Then do we want to remind Lin Ziyong?" Di Wu asked.

King Rong waved his hand and smiled faintly, "No, if Lin Ziyong didn't even have the ability to know this little news, then what else should I do for him? What else would he be the leader of the Mo Sect?"

"Yes, I understand!"

"Then you go down first."

After sending back Di Wu, King Rong looked at the charming Xu Qiuniang in his arms and asked with a smile: "By the way, Qiuniang, I heard that Lin Ziyong is also going to participate in Princess Rena's bride recruitment in the Western Regions?"

Xu Qiuniang nodded and smiled, "Yes, at the Luanying Banquet, Princess Rena tempted Lin Ziyong so much. I guess Lin Ziyong is probably fascinated by lust and wants to marry that beautiful lady back to the mansion."

"Haha-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xu Qiuniang also covered her mouth and smiled, but after laughing, she asked: "Your Highness, then are we going to recruit a marriage to help Lin Ziyong and marry Princess Rena of the Western Regions?"

"Confused!" Listening to Xu Qiuniang's words, King Rong rebuked: "The identity of Princess Rena in the Western Region is so special. It is naturally in the hands of our own people. To recruit Lin Ziyong is definitely not to use this method to recruit."

Listening to King Rong's reprimand, Xu Qiuniang twisted her body slightly and said coquettishly: "I think it's clear that your highness, you want to take the opportunity to hit Lin Ziyong, which is the real thing."

"Qiu Niang understands my heart." King Rong smiled, and then said slowly: "Lin Ziyong is really too arrogant when he enters the imperial capital, and no one is willing to submit. He only helps me for a deal. I really hit him on the martial arts field to let him see his identity clearly."

In the hands of the powerful and powerful people like King Rong who hold hundreds of thousands of troops, they still don’t think much of Lin Mo. Although they are afraid of the many practitioners in his hands, King Rong is confident that those practitioners will still die under the sharp sword of his hundreds of thousands of troops.

The many sects of practitioners and their practitioners are in a very embarrassing position on the Zhongzhou continent.

In the hearts of the people, they are sacred and unattainable, and the powerful are trying their best to win over them because they are powerful and can protect their own safety, but they look down on them because most practitioners are just civilians.

Seeing that King Rong had a faint disdain for Lin Mo in his eyes, Xu Qiuniang sighed quietly: "Your Highness, I know that in your heart, I may not respect the identity of Lin Ziyong's sect leader, but I want to remind you with kindness."

"What do you want to remind me? Be careful of Lin Mo, be careful of Mo Sect?" After being touched by Xu Qiuniang, King Rong's mind moved and asked seriously, but his words still had contempt.

Xu Qiuniang said seriously: "Your Highness, you must not underestimate the practitioners. Practitioners are really many times stronger and more fierce than ordinary people. Do you know what kind of existence the Mo Sect exists in the hearts of those vassal states?"

"What does it look like?" King Rong was shocked. He had never taken those so-called practitioners seriously before, but just regarded them as powerful people. After Xu Qiuniang's reminder, he seemed to have made a big mistake.

Xu Qiuniang said casually: "Your Highness, you must also know some things about practitioners. Only those who have all the Qihai and Snow Mountain and the Seven Orifices can become practitioners. There is only one such person in Daqian, which is only ten people in our Daqian."

"And in their cultivation world, there are many sects, countless. The Mo Sect was founded only a few years ago, but it was able to stand together with the Yue Lei Sect in such a short time and become one of the three peak sects. We must not underestimate the Mo Sect, nor can we underestimate the legend of Lin Mo who is the leader of the sect with literature."
