Although these local officials were well-connected and well-organized, this was only the case when the person in power was still alive. He was very generous, and those officials secretly supported him. Once he became emperor, at least he could guarantee that those officials would not rebel or strongly oppose him.
The Divine Cult wrote down the names of these officials one by one, and helped Qian Yeli arrange how to use these officials. Finally, they signed a contract with Qian Yeli to conspire to kill Qian Yeming.
"Why do we still need to sign a contract?" Qian Yeli was puzzled.
This kind of thing is shameful in itself, so it can be done in secret. But if this contract is discovered by someone, it will be a disaster.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Li. Our Divine Cult only needs a copy of this contract. After all, it was our Divine Cult that first sacrificed its members to help you seize the throne.
What if after you seize the throne you ignore my religion, or even drive my religion out of South Vietnam? Wouldn’t that be a great loss to us?
But with this contract in hand, things are different. I believe His Royal Highness Prince Li will definitely fulfill his promise."
Qian Yeli laughed and said, "High Priest, this is a win-win situation for both of us. Even if I ascend the throne, I won't be able to hold on to this position without the support of the Divine Cult. Therefore, there is absolutely no need to sign this contract."
The High Priest of Light shook his head, "Your Highness Prince Li, it's better to be safe than sorry. We also believe that if Your Highness Prince Li ascends the throne, he will definitely rely heavily on the Divine Religion. But what happens after he secures the throne?"
It's not that we don't trust His Highness Prince Li, but emperors have always been ruthless. Think about it, you brothers can fight to the death for power, and my Divine Cult and His Highness Prince Li are brothers. Who knows if you will kick my Divine Cult aside once you achieve peace and prosperity?
What we want is the eternal status of the Divine Religion in South Vietnam. At least the status it held for the decades that His Royal Highness Prince Li reigned. So, please consider this for our Divine Religion.
This contract will be kept with my Divine Religion. No one will see it, so don't worry, Your Highness Prince Li!"
Qian Yeli was silent for a moment, then felt that the High Priest of Light was right. He nodded and said, "Alright, since the two High Priests are worried, then please sign one."
After saying that, he signed his name on the contract and then stamped his handprint heavily on it.
After completing a series of actions, the High Priest of Light picked up the contract and read it over and over again. After confirming that there were no problems, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Seeing the High Priest of Light happy, Qian Yeli was also quite happy. He had only come to try his luck tonight, but he had not expected that the God of Luck would be so kind to him.
He always felt that secretly developing his own power was a good thing. Even when faced with the two obstacles of Qian Yeyao and Qian Yechen, he vaguely felt that he might have a chance.
Even if there is no chance, it would be nice to be a real idle prince at that time.
I didn't expect that tonight's turn of events would be so sudden and unexpected.
Amidst this laughter, at this moment, he seemed to see himself ascending the throne he had longed for, embracing his queen and accepting the worship of all officials.
The appearance of the queen gradually became clear. This woman was none other than the woman he fell in love with at first sight - Murong Xiao!
