Chapter 366 Tiandu, the Royal Family and Ministers of the Interest Group
The ghost tide in Lanlou Mansion soon began to spread, and the number of ghosts exploded, turning it into a huge disaster.
Zhiyue Dynasty also attacked immediately, but the efficiency was not so fast.
By the time the large army arrived, it had already destroyed an entire state with great force.
Fortunately, the Zhiyue Dynasty was very experienced in dealing with the problems caused by the ghost tide. By first blocking and then cannibalizing, the ghost tide was trapped in Chenyan State.
As for the former Lanlou Mansion, Shengshi Mansion, etc., they were all destroyed.
Not everyone died. Except for Lanlou Mansion, the evil suppression departments of each prefecture organized a retreat, and many people survived.
Because Lanlou Mansion erupted so quickly, there was no time to evacuate.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will take the Zhiyue Dynasty at least ten or even twenty years to resolve the ghost tide in Chenyan State.
The natural follow-up was the announcement of the ghost tide. The reason was that the ghosts disguised themselves as good citizens, sneaked into the Suppression of Evil Department, became a member of the Seal Hall, and lurked, and then took advantage of the opportunity to take action.
The main thing is that everything has been submerged by the ghost tide, and there is no truth at all.
So I pushed everything to the ghost man.
"This can be considered a mistake. It was indeed the work of ghosts." Qi Sui'an complained casually.
At this moment, they were already on the outskirts of Tiandu.
Yan Jingxing's face has never looked better since he learned that the entire state was engulfed by a wave of ghosts.
At the same time, he became more silent and didn't know what he was thinking.
This narrow escape brought many changes to Yan Jingxing.
It was impossible to let him chat and communicate like before. From Qi Sui'an's point of view, Yan Jingxing had already made up his mind to die, and he was just holding on to his last breath. He would definitely commit suicide when the time was right.
However, Qi Sui'an had no intention of stopping it. The two parties were just using their relationship normally.
Yan Jingxing used Qi Sui'an's identity to meet Emperor Zhiyue, but Qi Sui'an regarded him as a tool.
With him on the road, there are a lot less troubles.
When Qi Sui'an saw that the two of them didn't speak, he added to himself: "If you don't know the origin of the ghost man, there is really no problem."
"Say less." Nangong Yuan glared at Qi Sui'an fiercely, knowing that Yan Jingxing couldn't stand the stimulation now, so he said this deliberately.
"We have arrived in Tiandu, what should we do next?" Qi Sui'an glanced at the city entry inspection not far away.
As the capital of the Zhiyue Dynasty, Tiandu was naturally prosperous and lively.
There was an endless stream of people coming in and out, and Qi Sui'an and the others had to queue up here.
"Enter the palace to meet the saint." Nangong Yuan only said these four words.
"That's not what I'm asking. You are also the commander-in-chief of Tiandu, right? You don't have any privileges?" Qi Sui'an said speechlessly: "Do we have to be ranked in this team?"
"Are you anxious to see His Majesty?" Nangong Yuan didn't quite understand.
"No, I'm not in a hurry." How could Qi Sui'an be anxious: "I just don't want to waste time on such trivial matters."
For an outlaw like Qi Sui'an, standing in line is really humiliating.
If he hadn't talked to him before due to the will of the world and made him understand that the world would not tolerate his arrogance, how could he be so honest.
"This is never a trivial matter, but order." Nangong Yuan did not agree with Qi Sui'an's concept.
Hearing the word "order", Qi Sui'an couldn't help but think of the previous transaction with the world's will. The other party also said these two words.
He has no opinion on order. After all, Qi Sui'an has been in the apocalypse, and what he has seen is basically what it will look like after the collapse of order.
After the three of them successfully entered Tiandu, Nangong Yuan restored his identity and appearance, and took Qi Sui'an to the palace.
Even before he arrived, he was stopped by someone.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Nangong Yuan saluted.
Qi Sui'an took a look at it: "What is the situation of the prince? I remember that everyone is born out of thin air. The royal family and the prince cannot be picked up."
Yan Jingxing glanced at the Crown Prince and nodded indifferently: "Yes, both the royal family and the Crown Prince were born out of thin air, but they were selected."
The prince glanced at Qi Sui'an and Yan Jingxing, then ignored them and returned to Nangong Yuan.
"Is Commander Nangong's mission going well?" the prince asked.
He didn't want to talk to two unknown people, but he wanted to know what Changshenglu and the emperor wanted to do.
"In other words, neither the royal family nor the prince actually has anything to do with the current Emperor Zhiyue, right?" Qi Suian continued to ask.
When I first heard about the royal family, I thought they were a family. Now it seems like they are an interest group similar to a company or a group.
"Yes, you can replace him even if you die." Yan Jingxing said expressionlessly.
The prince's expression changed slightly when he was interrupted again, but he quickly recovered.
There are many people who don't give him face, but there are not many people who can be so straightforward.
These two are either unscrupulous or have something to rely on.
Since he came back with Nangong Yuan, he thought it was the latter, so he could only continue to act as if he hadn't heard.
"All goes well. Does your Royal Highness have anything else to do? I still need to meet with His Majesty." Nangong Yuan was also confused in his heart as to why the other party suddenly came to him.
When it comes to communication, it’s not like there’s no such thing.
I tried to woo her before, but she rejected him.
Theoretically speaking, the next step is to wait until he is dead, and then win over the next commander-in-chief of Tiandu or remove him when he comes to power.
Otherwise it is unlikely that there will be subsequent intersections.
The main reason is that there are constraints on her power from all sides. It's okay to use it as a knife, but it's a bit unqualified to use it as a tool for power struggle.
"Of course nothing happens, but since the Commander-in-Chief is going to meet His Majesty, how about I entertain these two for you?" The Crown Prince looked at Qi Sui'an and Yan Jingxing.
He was not so narrow-minded that he wanted to retaliate, but he wanted to win over these two people.
The reason is simple. People worthy of being brought back by the Commander-in-Chief of Tiandu are definitely not ordinary people.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
It's natural to be able to win over someone quickly.
As for saying that the other party has offended me? To put it bluntly, there are so many people who have offended him, and they are all just verbal disputes.
If you can't tolerate even this little thing, how can you tolerate the world in the future?
"No, this matter is His Majesty's imperial decree. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, should not continue to inquire." Nangong Yuan refused coldly.
Qi Sui'an is a survivor, and Yan Jingxing is a witness to the truth about the ghost tide. The two of them are involved in too many things, and the best way is to send them to Emperor Zhiyue.
"I see, it's the person summoned by His Majesty. He was rude, don't blame me." The prince apologized directly and then moved out of the way.
This development was indeed a bit unexpected for Qi Sui'an.
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is truly a hero. He is so flexible and flexible, I would never be able to bear it." Qi Sui'an couldn't help but praise him.
Most people who can stretch can do it, but there are really not many people who can bend.
Especially when you are in a high position and there is only one person above you, and you are being chewed in front of two unknown people, it is really not easy to endure it.
The prince also heard Qi Sui'an's words, but he just smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
After that, he left directly.
"The Crown Prince was carefully selected by His Majesty. You really spoke openly."
"But judging from the prince's appearance, he thinks highly of you and may recruit you next."
"Just refuse boldly. The prince will not be resentful for such a trivial matter." Nangong Yuan gave Qi Sui'an a warning.
As for Yan Jingxing, this is not necessary. He probably has no future. Even if he is approached, he will refuse it himself.
"I know that, I am a solid emperor." Qi Sui'an said perfunctorily. The Zhiyue Dynasty's group structure did not have family ties as a link, and it seemed more profit-oriented.
However, in this way, the efficiency of power change will be smoother. After all, everyone is a group formed through interests. If there are interests, then they are close brothers.
Even if Emperor Zhiyue is dead now, the prince can quickly take over and control the power structure of the entire Zhiyue Dynasty with his own interest groups.
Cold and efficient are enough to describe it.
Therefore, this prince was not the successor chosen by Emperor Zhiyue, but a political opponent with extremely good skills and abilities.
It's just that this political opponent is not capable enough to ascend to the throne, otherwise he would not be a prince, but an emperor.
——
"What do you think of those two people?" the prince asked calmly.
"One of them is probably Yan Jingxing, the head of Shengshi Mansion's Evil Division mentioned in the intelligence."
"As for the man in iron armor, I can't see through it." said an aide on the side.
"With your eyesight, you can't tell any clues. It seems that he is indeed a great talent." There was a hint of surprise in the prince's tone.
This staff member of his has a pair of eyes that have all the power of ghosts and monsters. He is extremely proficient in seeing people, and there are very few people he cannot see through.
Among the few people who couldn't see through it, apart from the current emperor, he and the important officials in the court were the only ones. These people were the pillars of the Zhiyue Dynasty.
"Find a way to recruit this person as soon as possible. No matter how much you pay, it will be worth it." The prince has many people under his command, but there is really no one who can make his staff invisible.
It can only be done after the emperor dies and he inherits the emperor's team.
"Your Highness, this matter may not be easy." The staff member said bluntly: "This person has a mysterious origin, and there is no information about him. Even if he wants to win over him, there is no way to win over him."
"And if your Majesty summons you, he will definitely be reused. With the strength of the East Palace, I can't win over your Majesty."
This is the truth. Compared with the emperor, the prince has no advantage.
The emperor has it, but the prince doesn't have it. But what the prince has, the emperor has it many times stronger.
"Get in touch first. Even if it doesn't work, you still have to leave a good impression. You can also help me in the future."
"Don't give up eating because of choking." The prince said that he should improve his favorability first. Otherwise, you would do nothing and just think of getting it right in one step?
The other party is a person and not an object, so you can't let him control you.
Failure to win over will result in enmity? He is not that stupid yet, but will continue to win over and increase his goodwill, paving the way for future control of government affairs after he ascends the throne.
