Guishou's whole body was trembling. This was a tremor coming from the depths of his soul. Guishou knew that he was coming, and only he, and only him, could possess such an almost god-like method.
The last time he took action, Gui Shou felt that his existence had been discovered, but the other party ignored him, and Gui Shou took the opportunity to escape.
But this time, the other party obviously didn't want to let him go.
When he thought of this, Guishou's face turned even paler. Who would have thought that this existence would come back again?
"Liang Youji, I have met you, sir."
Liang Youji saluted respectfully to the masked man with a ghostly face in front of him, showing great humility.
"Liang Youji, you really exceeded my expectations!" The man in the mask with a grimace looked down at the person in front of him with an indifferent tone.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Everything Youji has is a reward from you. Youji dare not take credit." Liang Youji knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head. His attitude was humble. He didn't have the airs of a young prince at all. Instead, he looked like a loyal loyal man. Dog legs.
"You are indeed a flexible person!"
"Only people like you can achieve great things!!"
The man with the ghost mask sat down, leaned back on the chair, and ordered: "Okay, stop kneeling, get up!"
"Thank you, sir." Liang Youji stood up obediently without making any unnecessary movements.
"Tell me, what have you done these days?"
"To win over the Yuzhou family, win over the garrison generals, and win over the martial arts masters, these methods combined, given your status, can be said to be like turning clouds with your hands and making rain with your hands."
"How on earth did you, a bastard with no power, do this?"
"I am very curious!!"
The man in the mask with a grimace looked at Liang Youji, his eyes full of scrutiny.
"Sir, it's like this..."
Liang Youji naturally did not dare to hide anything and directly told what happened:
"Actually, I have been making plans all along, thinking about how to protect myself after my father's death... Yes, it is not to compete for the position of the heir, but to protect myself."
"I know my identity very well. If nothing happened to my two brothers, I would not be qualified to compete for the throne, let alone get involved in the throne..."
"I know the character of my two brothers very well. If they succeed to the throne, I will definitely be kicked out of the palace. If the situation is good, maybe they will not get rid of me. If the situation is bad, when I am kicked out of the palace, that is It’s my death!!”
"The ghost's hand was unintentional. It was me who saved the martial arts master when he was young. He was hunted by Dongchang for taking the treasure of the eunuch of Dongchang. By chance, he was saved by me. Because of this love, he It was originally agreed that after the death of my father, he would protect me and leave Yuzhou."
"But who would have thought that my father would die in your hands. This change led to a change in the agreement between me and him. I asked him to help me get the position of vassal king, and I promised him the martial arts secrets and elixirs in the royal treasury. ..."
"The head of the Luo family is willing to cooperate with me, largely because he knows that my two brothers died suddenly, and my father also died unexpectedly. In this case, I, the bastard, is the most advantageous contender for the throne. , he tried to tie me up with marriage, his plan...I can guess, it is nothing more than thinking that I am weak and easy to manipulate..."
"He has great ambitions. He tries to control me and the entire Prince Yu's palace through women. Unfortunately, it's hard to say who controls whom in the end..."
"As for Tang Liusan, he is an ambitious man. He does not seek wealth or sex. What he wants is fame. It is normal for scholars to seek fame. What he hopes most is to leave his name in history. And this, those short-sighted guys , can’t give it to him, but I can give it to him, and he will naturally surrender to me.”
"Those garrison generals follow whoever has the greatest chance of winning. Now I have the greatest chance of winning, so of course they follow me. But with the illegitimate son being straightened up, there are changes in my succession to the throne, and their loyalty will not be the same. That’s easy to say.”
Liang Youji told the current situation in detail.
He said it lightly, but the man with the ghost face mask knew how difficult it was.
How difficult is it for a bastard who has always been secretive to accomplish such an operation in just a few days after knowing that his father and his legitimate son are dead?
It is even said that if Yifang hadn't secretly roped in the martial arts master Ding Yuanying, Liang Youji would have won the Yuzhou change and would have been the absolute winner! !
But even so, Liang Youji still has an advantage, because an illegitimate child is an illegitimate child after all. Without the recognition of the palace, and without paying homage to his ancestors, he will not be able to be on the stage after all.
For now, Liang Youji is still the only heir.
Even if he turns out to be just a bastard! !
"I have been favored by Zhou Zhenwen, the chief minister of the Dahuang Cabinet. This time he comes to deal with Yuzhou affairs. You must cooperate with him. When necessary, you can ask him for help. For example, Ding Yuanying's matter, he can solve it, but he needs to pay Some price."
The ghost-faced masked man nodded and ordered.
"Yes." Liang Youji agreed without any hesitation.
"Submitting to the imperial court is a good thing for you. Your current power is based on your status as King of Yu. The generals, the Yuzhou family, the first and second houses, and the guest officials are all watching and watching you. ability to judge the future development of Yuzhou, they are also considering, can you lead Yuzhou to continue to be strong?"
"These all take time and require a balance between forces. After the original Yuzhou structure is broken, if you want to regain control, you need to introduce a new force. The imperial court is undoubtedly the best choice. Their roots are not in Yuzhou. , even if you send troops into Yuzhou, it will only be to monitor and control Yuzhou, you are still the king of Yuzhou."
"If you have the ability, you can win over the person in charge of the garrison..."
The ghost-faced masked man suggested.
"Youji will bear in mind what your Excellency said." Liang Youji said.
"Yeah." The ghost-faced masked man hummed, thought for a while, and then ordered: "One more thing, your father once colluded with the Demonic Cult. There must be spies from the Demonic Cult among his forces. Do you think If we want to stabilize the overall situation and gain the support of the imperial court, we must break away from the Demonic Cult and exchange the Demonic Cult’s strongholds and Demonic Cult information for the Imperial Court’s trust.”
"Well, one more thing, I don't like the Black Lotus Demon Cult either..."
"Yes, sir, I understand what you mean. In Yuzhou, in the area under my jurisdiction, as long as people from the Demon Cult are found, they will definitely eliminate evil. Please rest assured." Liang Youji said very well.
"As for your ghost hands..."
The ghost-faced masked man nodded and looked at the motionless ghost hand.
The ghost's hands were shaking all over, and beads of sweat kept falling on his forehead. He was extremely frightened, worried that the other party would kill him directly if he disagreed with him.
This feeling of me being a fish and flesh, and others being a knife, simply makes Guishou feel like he is in hell! !
"I am quite interested in you, can you tell me about it?"
"Why do you have the courage to break through the second level and become a grandmaster?"
"A person like you who licks blood from the edge of a knife cherishes your life the most and is the most unscrupulous. Logically speaking, if the imperial court knew that a fugitive had been promoted to become a grandmaster, it would definitely send the enshrinement hall to deal with it, but you have never revealed your identity as a grandmaster? "
"It's quite interesting to be active in the world as a third-level master!"
