3 - Princes' rebellion

5 years later

4 prince's mansion

"are you sure about that?" Cai Zhong

"yes my sovereign, the first prince's plan to kill the king is already close to completion" Danzou

For the past 5 years, Danzou has cultivated secret strength for Cai Zhong, and called it root

The root is a perfect organization for spying, it even managed to infiltrate the king's palace and the parties of all the princes.

"Murder my father and then blame the second prince... with that he wins the throne and gets rid of the biggest enemy, very smart my first brother" Cai Zhong

"Danzou, secretly let it leak to the second prince, that Cai Zhi will perform on the king's birthday" Cai Zhong

Let Cai Zhi and Cai Gu fight and they both lose strength, it is impossible for Cai Zhong to allow Cai Zhi to take the second prince by surprise

"and our forces?" Cai Zhong

"3000 black army soldiers ready, I can also mobilize 200 members from scratch if needed" Danzou

"It's still not enough, use a 3rd degree pill to buy General Ou Ki's loyalty, he is stuck at the innate peak and must dream of being a grandmaster, with my dead father he will know how to choose, with his 10,000 soldiers of the north gate it will be easy to kill my brothers and ascend to the throne" Cai Zhong

Ou Ki is a general loyal only to Cai Funxi, so he is the only general in the capital who remains neutral with all princes.

"And if he refuses?" Danzou

"if he refuses, kill him and then bring in our party's vice general, although he can't control all 10,000 soldiers, at least half is right" Cai Zhong

For 5 years he kept quiet without attracting attention, but now Cai Zhong has reached the level of an early grandmaster.

Danzou has become an advanced grandmaster and his dark army is made up of soldiers of minimum level at level 5 of body forging.

root has many innate masters, although no grandmasters yet, to become a grandmaster other than a 3 degree pill, you need a 3 star talent which is hard to find among the beggars chosen for root

Cai Zhong is confident enough, his plan is to let the two parties kill each other and then subdue the victor and become emperor.

In addition, Cai Zhong also let the root contact the frontier generals, he is confident of conquering 60-70% of the kingdom's military power using the money he earned from his mirrors.

Cai Zhong's only flaw is that he has no support from the court, all high-ranking ministers belong to his brothers

"Old fools of the court, when I ascend the throne you will only be able to accept" Cai Zhong

"What about the ancestral hall?" Cai Zhong

"all right, the false king pill arrived in the hands of Cai Yunshi" Danzou

ancestral hall, it is where the grandmasters of the royal family and other secondary members are, in all there are 5 grandmasters in the ancestral hall, with Cai Yunshi being the oldest at 99 years old

Members of the ancestral hall swear not to get involved in the fight for the throne, while whoever sits on the throne has the surname Cai, they do not.

Of course, the ancestral hall receives a lot of cultivation resources in exchange, Cai Zhong wants to win over Cai Yunshi who is the oldest and most moral of the royal family.

If Cai Yunshi appears and says his throne is valid, then what can ministers and nobles do? Furthermore, with Cai Yunshi entering the level of the false king, the strength of the realm improves.

Basically the old Yunshi is the strength that Cai Zhong found to prevent the rebellion of nobles

"Get ready Danzou, in 3 days I will be emperor" Cai Zhong, his Qi was purple and spread all over his body
