"Emperor Dongxia went directly to the Dragon Throne and said something to the then Emperor Xiang. Then what happened was that Emperor Xiang stepped down and Emperor Dongxia ascended to the throne."

"In the days that followed, the Emperor of the East abolished the two emperors, and then replaced batches of ministers. Many of them resigned due to wrongdoing or were even imprisoned. Even worse, they were exiled to the frontier!" Zhao Shi said to him.

Li Bu talked about what Emperor Dong Shang had done in recent days.

"If you really want to win people's hearts, I'm afraid it won't be possible for me to do it, because all the good friends before have gone away, and the ones who have gone to jail are very few left." When Zhao Shi said this, he was obviously a little sad.

"I am very nervous every day, for fear that something like this will happen to me, which will affect the lives of our whole family. The whole family depends on me!" After saying this, Zhao Shi sighed.

.

Li Bu nodded: "It seems that Emperor Dongshang has his own ideas, but what exactly does he want to do?"

Zhao Shi smiled bitterly and said: "Obviously, that is to completely destroy Xiangtang, thereby helping to unify the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then ascend to the Southern Tang Dynasty and become the emperor to unify the world!"

Hearing this, Li Bu frowned and asked, "How did you know?"

Zhao Shi sighed: "What I heard by chance, and the various enjoyments and misdeeds of Emperor Dongshang in the past few days, can prove this. The most important thing is that at this time, the Emperor of Southern Tang seemed to be in a relationship with Emperor Dongshang.

There is a certain relationship between grace and salvation, and he is very loyal to the Emperor of the East."

Hearing this, Li Bu frowned. It turned out that the Emperor of the East meant to use decline to become a unified nation. How could that be possible? Although this was easier, it was not what Li Bu wanted.

The arduous process, the result in exchange, this process is perfect. If we rely on the Eastern Emperor to achieve it, it will be a bit too timid, and it will not be very exciting.

With this thought in his mind, Li Bu felt that this time the Xiangtang throne must be inevitable, but he could not let the Dongshang Emperor's misbehavior completely destroy Xiangtang.

With this thought in his mind, Li Bu became even more determined. With the Xiangtang Seal on his body, as long as the method is appropriate, he can naturally ascend the throne smoothly, but everything will not be under control by then.

"If the Emperor of the East destroys Xiangtang, wouldn't you ministers also suffer?" Li Bu asked.

Zhao Shi sighed: "Oh! Who knows? We can only take one step and see what happens."

Li Bu smiled and said, "If I can help you stabilize your position, will you help me?"

Zhao Shi looked at Li Bu and then asked, "How can I help?"

Li Bu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, when we solved the An'an matter before, it can be basically seen that you are still a very good person. No matter what you have done to regret others, at least now I believe you."

"What does Emperor Liu Xia mean by these words?" Zhao Shi asked with some confusion after listening to Li Bu's words.

Li Bu smiled and replied: "I can become the emperor, as long as you help me win over people's hearts, then your position will be stabilized, Xiangtang will be safe, and there will be a chance to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. What do you think?"

After saying this, Li Bu knew that Zhao Shi was still in a dazed state, so he simply took out the Xiangtang Seal.

At this time, Li Bu believed in Zhao Shi's character. Although it is said that people should not be judged by their appearance, sometimes appearance is also the key to determine whether a person is good or bad. Looking at Zhao Shi's appearance, he does not seem to be the scheming one, so this is also

One of the reasons why Li Bu believed.

Zhao Shi saw Li Bu take out the Xiangtang Seal, and was shocked: "So, the Xiangtang Seal is in your hand?"

Hearing this, Li Bu raised his eyebrows: "What? Has the Emperor of the East discovered that the Xiangtang Seal is fake?"

Zhao Shi nodded: "I discovered it very early, but didn't seem to say anything, and I don't know what Emperor Dongshang thought."

Li Bu frowned. If he could still be so calm after learning that Xiang Tang Xi had been replaced, he must have some kind of plan. I'm afraid it wouldn't be detrimental to Li Bu!

He couldn't understand and simply didn't want to think about it. Li Bu shook his head and asked: "Regardless of those useless things, now that you have a chance to stabilize your position, do you want to help? I am grateful. If you help me, I am."

I will not repay kindness with hatred."

Zhao Shi looked at Li Bu and sighed: "This is really playing with fire. If it fails, it will be much more troublesome."

Li Bu smiled and spoke confidently: "Don't worry! It won't fail. As long as the people you win over are okay, everything will go smoothly."

At noon, it was already time to eat. Han Qing, Li Bu, Hua Swordsman, and Zhao Shi were sitting around, and the food had all been served.

During the meal, Zhao Shi told Li Bu about the actions of Emperor Dongshang, who ignored the people, ignored everything, and only cared about himself, which was almost serious enough to lead to a nationwide uprising.

If it weren't for the help of some ministers of conscience to mediate, I'm afraid Xiangtang would have disappeared.

Li Bu frowned. If he didn't hurry up, Xiangtang would really be in trouble.

After the meal, Li Bu and others were about to leave. At this time, Zhao Shi said to Li Bu: "Liu Xia, I have only one request, and that is to ensure the safety of our family. If possible, I can give you a helping hand."

."

Li Bu nodded in agreement, and Zhao Shi said: "In the fourth row, there is a relatively influential minister with a very high official rank named Jiang Tu, who is Lord Jiang of Jiangshang Mansion. If you want to win people's hearts, you can

Ask him."

Zhao Shi himself no longer had much manpower. The best way at this time was to recommend someone to Li Bu, which could be regarded as a helping hand.

When Li Bu heard this, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. Don't worry! As long as it succeeds, I will definitely not forget this kindness."

After leaving Prince Shi's Mansion, Li Bu followed Zhao Shi's statement and came to the so-called Lord Jiang's home in Jiangshang Mansion.

But after knocking on the door for a long time, no one opened it. It seemed that no one was there.

Li Bu frowned, then knocked hard, and then he responded. A man opened the door. The man was strong and almost two heads taller than Li Bu.

The flower swordsman frowned and grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand, ready to strike at any time.

"Who are you?" the man asked in a rough voice.

Li Bu smiled and clasped his fists and replied: "We come to talk to Lord Jiang about something. I am the former Liuxia Emperor. I would like to inform you."

The man yawned, and then said impatiently: "He's not here, you can come back later!" Then he slammed the door and walked away, leaving Li Bu and three others in front of the door.

Hua Swordsman frowned and asked, "This man is so arrogant. Could it be that he didn't give any face to him when he heard the name of Emperor Liu Xia?"

Li Bu smiled bitterly: "Didn't you hear what Zhao Shi said? The Second Emperor has been deposed, and now I am just an ordinary citizen!"

Li Bu knocked on the door again. This time the man did not open the door, but shouted directly: "Let's go, let's go! If you say no, you won't. If you keep nagging me, I won't be polite."

The flower swordsman was a little angry, but Li Bu didn't want to continue: "Let's go!"

The flower swordsman asked doubtfully: "Aren't you looking for him?"

Li Bu shook his head: "Of course we have to look for him, and we must meet Jiang Tu himself, but after all, we are asking for help, and it is not a good idea to just wait and see!"
