Lord of the Tricks

In the capital city, Song Chengyue opened his eyes with a trace of surprise.

I haven't chatted with Yu Ziqing for a long time. After this chat and a routine exchange of recent information, Yu Ziqing gave him a suggestion.

Without crossing the line, give the prince some convenience, because next, the prince will most likely ascend the throne.

And it may be within a hundred years, if it is fast, it may be successfully enthroned within a few decades.

Jin Yiwei was a falcon dog under the Emperor Qianhuang's command. It stands to reason that even if the crown prince oversees the country and has more and more power now, he can't directly intervene in Jin Yiwei's affairs.

Song Chengyue must stick to his duty and not cross the line.

But with the current situation, Song Chengyue really couldn't refuse what the crown prince really wanted to do and what he needed to investigate.

To talk about this great work, who can see the emperor's attitude and guess the emperor's thoughts at the first time, it must be Song Chengyue.

He has long seen that Emperor Qian seems to really intend to let the prince succeed, unlike in the past, he just maintains a balance that does not require much intervention and attention.

Therefore, Song Chengyue asked Jin Yiwei to cooperate with some legitimate matters, but in name it was naturally to cooperate with the crown prince in supervising the country.

But Lao Song has been the commander of Jinyiwei for so long, who is he, he knows Qianhuang too well.

No matter how smooth the development is, it will not be so smooth.

So he always thought it was weird, but now that Yu Ziqing said the same thing, he was completely sure that something was wrong.

On the surface, the name is justified, but in private, you can help the prince if you can't find any faults.

But for other things, forget it, you must be steady, no matter how the situation develops, as long as you don't let the Emperor Qian criticize.

Among the courtiers, if they don't want to be picked on by others, there is only one thing, and if you don't want to be strong.

As long as you stand behind Qianhuang...

No, it doesn't matter what he did, as long as Emperor Qian felt that he was always standing behind him loyally, as the biggest and most capable eagle dog, then he was absolutely safe.

Song Chengyue thought about it and felt that it was time to make preparations.

Even if the new emperor ascended the throne, even if the emperor did not die, he, the commander of Jinyiwei, might not be able to continue to be stable.

If the new emperor wanted to kill him, the Qianhuang might not be able to leave the customs, nor might he be able to spread the word.

Therefore, how to make the Qianhuang feel that he has always been loyal, and how to make the new emperor pick him up and remove him is really difficult to grasp.

After all, according to past experience, once the emperor and the courtiers, his position, the emperor's close ministers, has always been the first to be replaced.

It's not that he is nostalgic for power, nor is he afraid that he will probably be retaliated by others after his downfall, and if he fails to do so, he will die tragically.

In this position, he has enough value and can do many things conveniently.

He knew very well in his heart that Jin Lanshan would definitely not turn his face because of his downfall, he would do whatever he wanted, and maybe he would really help him out.

But this friendship can only get better and better if there are back and forth. He doesn't want to become a worthless person who depends entirely on friendship one day.

Song Chengyue began to make various arrangements to ensure the stability of the court and began to collect various information.

A few days later, the prince summoned him and asked about some things.

After asking, when Song Chengyue was about to leave, the crown prince looked at Song Chengyue and asked suddenly.

"Master Song, you are the one who knows the most about the affairs of the court and the secret movements. What do you think will change next?"

As soon as these words came out, the few servants standing around immediately did not dare to move, their eyes were on their noses and their hearts, and they pretended to be statues.

Song Chengyue's heart skipped a beat.

What's the matter, prince?Anxious?

It was already a steady and sure thing, why did he suddenly get anxious?

While thinking quickly, Song Chengyue's face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice.

"I uphold the admonitions of Jin Yiwei in the past, and dare not go overboard.

No matter what changes, it remains the same.

It is the duty of ministers to maintain stability. "

The prince nodded and said nothing more.

What Song Chengyue said was correct nonsense, whoever is the emperor I am loyal to, and I don't care about anything else except maintaining stability.

If Song Chengyue started flattering and pleasing the future new king now, the crown prince would really underestimate him, and he might not dare to use him in the future.

In order to maintain stability, Song Chengyue will definitely not be moved even if he ascends the throne for a while.

Everyone has seen his performance over the years. He has outstanding ability and sense of proportion. After a while, there is indeed no one to replace him.

Just like the Juan Wang of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, within 80 years, it is absolutely impossible to find a replacement.

If the king of scrolls stepped down, there would be problems with the smooth operation of the entire department on the spot, and the problems would surely accumulate.

The same goes for Jin Yiwei, who really can't do without Song Chengyue now.

Those guys in flying fish suits really like this commander.

After all, it may not be possible to meet such a perfect boss in the future. He has no children, no family, and when he does things, most of the benefits he gets are distributed to the subordinates.

When a subordinate encounters an accident, he will not disassociate the relationship immediately, but save it if he can.

Spies who are old or injured and disabled have no major problems, and can be arranged for a good start and a good end.

In addition, when the power has reached this point, it has no intention of making progress, which seems to mean that if you have no desires, you will be strong.

Counting the successive commanders of the Shen Dynasty, and counting the Shadow Department of Dali, Song Chengyue is an outlier, and because of this, regardless of the reputation of Jinyiwei, everyone in Jinyiwei respects Song Chengyue.

Otherwise, when everyone could see that Song Cheng was going to die soon, some people wanted to be in the top position, but they did it quietly.

It's normal for the boss to take advantage of the benefits, use cruel methods, and take the blame for his subordinates when things happen. Everyone has no good results.

Then there must be no exceptions before everyone can accept this normality.

There are really exceptions. After seeing a good ending, and then going back to the past, it is one thing for everyone to accept it on the surface, but another thing to think about it in their hearts.

Maybe when there is a chance, he will stab the new boss in the back.

The prince sat there, surrounded by silence, and the servants around him did not dare to pant loudly.

The prince waved his hand and told everyone to go down, and he sat alone.

He originally wanted Song Chengyue to investigate some sensitive matters, but in the end he couldn't speak.

Song Chengyue made it very clear that he is only loyal to His Majesty, and whoever is His Majesty is loyal to whom.

Since the last time, Emperor Qian didn't deal with him, and lightly erased the report, he felt that something was wrong.

Now Lihuoyuan seems to have made it clear that the fire will add to the obstacles, and that kind of legend will come out.

I didn't point to my nose and scold, but I'm afraid anyone with a heart can know it.

That book involved Wen Lingyou, who was originally a senior member of the Lihuo Academy and the teacher of Prince Dali.

In the legend, [-]% of the stories are compiled by the brain, but the core part is absolutely true.

Otherwise, Wen Lingyou couldn't afford to lose this kind of person.

And these days, the prince found some things about Dadui in the royal library, digging through piles of old papers.

The original core of the Faceless Man back then was Baishuidan.

Only later, when Da Dui disappeared, did this method spread.

There is a big earthquake, but the big earthquake also abandoned the method a long time ago, and now the faceless man of the big earthquake only has a name, and it has nothing to do with Baishuidan.

With the imminent return of Da Dui, more and more classics that once disappeared began to appear.

Some classics that no one cared about in the past, only after opening did they find that there were things about Dadui recorded in them.

In one of Daqian's classics, he found a record of Jin Yiwei in ancient times.

At that time, an accident happened to the Faceless Man in Dadui, which was an opportunity to use the White Water Egg Method.

The specifics are not described in detail, only that there is a lot of trouble and the loss is not small, otherwise, Dagan will not add a special record here.

In addition, the prince himself had seen many records when he was stationed in Baishuidan.

A large number of side details, after seeing a little bit of the main body, immediately began to complete a part of the general outline of the whole, the more you check, the clearer it is.

But the more I checked, the sense of powerlessness and despair began to rise slowly.

In the past, he felt that after turning into a white water egg, he didn't remember the past, it was like this for everyone.

Looking at it now, I can't help but think of many conspiracy theories.

Chess pieces, all are chess pieces, all are chess pieces, even he is also a chess piece.

He is one of the pawns of the so-called God King.

Then he thought of his deep-minded father who always looked down coldly and controlled everything.

He didn't even need to guess, he also knew that his royal father must also be in control of everything.

Now that you know it, why do you still do it.

Is it for better control?
No, it's impossible, in the eyes of his father, he may not be much different from other princes.

In the past, what he hoped most was to become a great treasure one day.

But now, when he saw that position, he began to feel fear, as if there was an abyss, and if he sat there, he would be lost forever.

He doesn't understand, as long as he ascends to the Qianhuang position, who can make him forever.

But just seeing Emperor Qian's back, he couldn't help but have this idea. After he ascended the throne, he could still only see his father's back covering the sky, and he still couldn't jump out of his palm.

In the heart, there are two shadows, separated from the left and right, he has the protection of spirit and luck, and is the prince of the country, it stands to reason that it is difficult to give birth to demons by himself.

But now, the prince went to investigate by himself, and the deeper he went, the more he felt that the shadow oppressed him and he couldn't breathe.

The court situation is stable, and more and more people have come to speculate recently and pledge their allegiance to the new monarch in advance.

The staff in the prince's mansion have been doing things more and more easily recently.

The official department has been stuck with positions for a long time, and recently they have slowly released a few to the officials of the Prince's Mansion.

This means that the new court team has already entered the court first.

Everything is smooth and reasonable.

Only the crown prince's frown became tighter and tighter, more and more thoughts were hidden in his eyes, and he couldn't see much joy.

But from other people's point of view, they feel that the prince has become more and more calm, and looks quite like a king.

Several months later, the crown prince summoned Song Chengyue again.

"I have heard that Song Qing has quite a connection with Jin Lanshan. This time, there is something that needs to be done by Song Qing."

"I do have quite a relationship with Jin Lanshan. What does Your Highness need me to do?"

"I want some Ganlin liquid, and I want to complete a donation." The crown prince stared at Song Chengyue, his eyes were bloodshot, and there seemed to be a lot of thoughts in his eyes, and he couldn't hide it, and he was about to burst out.

Song Chengyue was secretly surprised.

What the hell are you talking about, the prince has evil thoughts?
No, according to the legend, it is absolutely impossible for the yin demon to enter Miyagi after planting the seeds. Why did the prince give birth to evil thoughts?
Could it be that those unreliable guys in the Lihuo Institute did their research wrong?You don't need the yin demon to plant seeds, but you can also give birth to evil thoughts and inner demons?
The appearance of the prince seems to be a bit like that.

"Song Qing, can you arrange it?" The prince's eyes became sharper, with a hint of madness.

Song Chengyue was silent for a long time.

"Your Highness can't leave Dagan. I will try to find a way to see if there is a place where hungry ghosts gather in Dagan."

"As soon as possible."

Song Chengyue was a little bit on the fence. It stands to reason that the crown prince could handle this kind of thing without his hands.

Although Gan Lin is precious, it is not impossible to get it.

Although the largest gathering place of hungry ghosts is in the abyss and rift valley of Jinlan Mountain and Dali, there are also hungry ghosts gathering in other places.

After thinking about it, Song Chengyue could only come to the conclusion that the crown prince didn't want other people to know, and minimized the number of people who dealt with it.

But letting him know about it, isn't it embarrassing Song Chengyue, he doesn't want to know at all.

Song Chengyue left Miyagi, left the capital, contacted Yu Ziqing, then covered himself and headed west.

After leaving the border of Dagan, he went north all the way and met Yu Ziqing in the wasteland.

After the meeting, Song Chengyue's face was sombre, and when he told the matter, Yu Ziqing also looked confused.

"The prince is serious?"

"It's really serious, he didn't even dare to let his close ministers know that coming to me to do this would be crossing the line.

I should have reported to Emperor Qian immediately, but instead of reporting, I came to you to deal with this matter.

If I die in the future, it will be a normal result, and there will be information about how I died.

If I didn't die..."

Song Chengyue was silent for a while.

Yu Ziqing filled in the rest of the words for him.

"If you are not dead, it means that what you have done is in line with the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor still needs you to continue to do it.

The prince is cheating you and dragging you into the water. "

"So, are you going to accept this?"

"Yes, why not." Yu Ziqing answered simply.

He didn't care what the father and son were doing.

As long as the prince is willing to pay the price, he can even bring hungry ghosts to provide door-to-door alms services.

After Yu Ziqing responded, the topic changed.

"Old Song, it's time for you to think about yourself, think about how you can get out of your body.

When necessary, I can help, you have been busy for so many years, it is time to retire. "

Song Chengyue's heart warmed. With his identity, he was the first person who was willing to say this to him, not to mention willing to help.

"Let's talk about it later, it can still be useful now."

"If you ask him to come to the western border, I will personally lead someone and let him complete a donation. I believe he will definitely give me a satisfactory reward."

Yu Ziqing pondered for a while, and took out a small bottle of Ganlin stock solution.

"If he doesn't want to come, then he can sell some Ganlin stock solution at the normal price."

Song Chengyue immediately took the Ganlin stock solution, and Yu Ziqing went back with the big ghost, the hungry ghost flag, and a large number of hungry ghosts, waiting for the prince's choice.

If it was for insurance, the crown prince would definitely not come, and the original liquid of Ganlin would be enough.

It is not too difficult to find a small gathering place for hungry ghosts.

But if he is willing to come like this, it proves that the prince is not purely for the purpose of getting rid of evil thoughts.

A few days later, news came from Song Chengyue that the crown prince was willing to come, and the time and place were agreed upon.

The crown prince was alone, following Song Chengyue, before he got close, Lou Huai transmitted the sound to Yu Ziqing.

"He does have demonic thoughts, but he is responsible for the fate of the country, and that demonic thoughts have no chance at all, and he has no chance to turn into demons.

No, unless Heavenly Demon leans down and makes a move himself. "

Zizai Tian immediately refuted.

"Don't look at me, even at my peak, I still need someone's help to sneak in quietly.

Then it needs to be brewed and accumulated before it can explode.

If there is no one to help, and there is no opening in his heart, I can't even sneak in. "

After so many years, it is true that only the old Emperor Zhen was cooperating with the inside and outside, and was taken advantage of by the demon.

For this, there may be another important reason to consider, You Zhen is purely physical training.

This kind of situation has never happened to other god emperors.

The reason why people look down on physical training, what happened to You Zhen back then is also part of the reason.

Therefore, Yu Ziqing didn't even understand what the prince wanted to do when he suddenly came to see him.

"Your Excellency, come here in person."

"It's a small matter. There is no reason to push it out when there is a business coming. Let's start, Your Highness?"

The crown prince waved his hand and looked at Yu Ziqing.

"I want to ask, if the evil thoughts in my heart are eliminated, will new ones be born in the future?"

"Not for a short time, but after all, demons are born from the heart, and people may have new ones when they are alive."

"Can you give me the demonic thoughts to get rid of?" The prince paused, and added: "I want to deal with it myself."

Yu Ziqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately laughed.

"Let the hungry ghost deal with it the most thorough and easiest.

Of course, when I do business, I have always focused on the buyer, and the buyer who pays can deal with it as he wants.

However, His Highness's request is a bit troublesome and requires extra money.

As for the others, His Highness does not need to worry, I always pay the most attention to word-of-mouth when I do business.

Up to now, there has never been any leakage of major customer information. "

The prince took out a roll of animal skins, on which was the written oath.

Yu Ziqing took a few glances, and it was a normal oath of secrecy, and it was just not allowed to leak what happened today.

It's just that the price is a little high.

"Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with the content, and the price of breaching the contract is a bit high."

The prince's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly.

"After I ascend the throne, I will include the oath in the ancestral temple, and guarantee it with the destiny of the gods."

Yu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, is it such a big game?
Yu Ziqing quickly looked at the oath, if the crown prince violated the contract, it would not be his personal loss, but the fortune of the country.

With the past Dadui as a lesson for the past, this is the most serious price.

What the hell is this guy trying to do?
Yu Ziqing's thoughts turned quickly, thinking about it, no matter what the prince thought, he would not hurt himself.

No matter how you do it, you will lose a lot.

Thinking of this, Yu Ziqing took a deep breath. Where did this guy go after the past few months?What did you track down?

To be forced to such a point, is this trying to kidnap the fate of the gods?
But this has nothing to do with him, no matter what, it's just a big internal fight.

Yu Ziqing felt that he underestimated the prince before.

Fortunately, the information given to the prince by beating around the bush before was all true.

"Okay, everything is done according to His Highness, but this method is too difficult to guarantee success."
