Zhao Xun thought that with the temperament of his third senior brother Long Qingquan, if he knew that Taoist Master Qinglian classified him as the third level of swordsmanship, he would be furious to death.
After all, the third senior brother is also the third disciple of the dignified academy and a second-grade practitioner. It is really disappointing to be classified as the third grade.
And doesn’t third gear mean third rate?
To say that the third senior brother is a third-rate person is a bit of a bully.
It's really hard.
"Uh, master and disciple, can I ask you something?"
"Say it."
"You must never say this to Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan. He cannot listen to such words."
"Don't worry, brat, your master and I are not stupid."
Taoist priest Qinglian rolled his eyes and said: "I can still figure out what to say and what not to say. And these are the words I'm just telling you. As long as you don't tell anyone, he can't know.
.”
"That's good, that's good..."
When Zhao Xun heard this, he could finally feel relieved.
"Actually, there are many people in the third level of swordsmen. Didn't I say it before as a teacher? They all have obvious shortcomings and obvious strengths. If you take their advantages and strengths individually, they are obviously very strong and can be classified into the second level or even into the second level.
They are in the first grade. But their shortcomings are too stretched, so..."
Taoist Master Qinglian spread his hands and said: "It can only be returned to the third gear."
Although his mentor said it so clearly, Zhao Xun knew that he still couldn't let his third senior brother hear it.
Otherwise, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan's fiery temper would definitely explode in an instant.
It's difficult, it's really difficult.
Why is it so difficult to be the youngest member of an academy?
Ever since he arrived at the academy, Zhao Xun discovered that he had an endless desire to worry about.
I thought he could be a hands-off shopkeeper, but I never thought he would be a tinker.
The tinker just mended the pot, but Zhao Xun found that he not only had to mend the pot but also had to consider other issues, which was a bit embarrassing.
Zhao Xun was helpless.
"Actually, the ranking of swordsmanship is a matter of opinion. At least I don't think it can decide anything."
"So, don't take it to heart. I just say that, and you just listen to it."
"Uh-huh…"
…
…
Master Huiyan feels that the recent rhythm is not right.
Since the High Priest of the Demon Sect came to the Corruptor's camp, the Corruptor, especially Wu Oris, has become increasingly cold toward him.
Although I wasn't very enthusiastic at the beginning, but when compared like this, the gap is really obvious.
For a moment, Master Huiyan felt that something was wrong.
Many times disasters start brewing from inconspicuous places.
It's not obvious at the beginning, but it becomes more obvious as it accumulates.
By the time I finally wanted to intervene, it was too late.
Therefore, when it is time to make a decision, you must make a decisive decision.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.
Many times this is a battle of interests.
While in court, Master Huiyan mainly needed to be wary of and worried about Daomen and Yuan Tiangang.
This Taoist Celestial Master seems to be indifferent, but in fact he is very ambitious.
Once it is allowed to operate, the possibility of catching up is not small.
Master Huiyan did not intend to give this imaginary enemy a chance.
Because to him, Daomen is the biggest threat.
Master Huiyan can even predict that for a long time in the future, the battle between Taoism and the Tantric Sect of the Western Regions will dominate the mainstream.
As for how long it will last, no one knows who will win in the end.
Master Huiyan is very clear that if he wants to bring Buddhism in the Western Regions to its peak, he must avoid stepping on others to get the upper hand.
If you just step on one person, that's fine. If you step on many people all the time, the concept is completely different.
Originally, there was no deep hatred between Master Huiyan and the high priest of the Demon Sect.
But the high priest of the Demon Sect took the initiative to come to fight, and Master Huiyan really couldn't bear it anymore.
It is only for him to step on others, and there is never the possibility of others stepping on him.
This time the High Priest of the Demon Sect took the initiative to rush to the edge of the knife, so Master Huiyan naturally couldn't bear it anymore.
Hum, let's wait and see who can have the last laugh.
…
…
Where there are people there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people there are inevitable disputes.
This is evident in the business world.
After the imperial court banned Romance of the West Chamber, a chaotic situation of disputes among many companies immediately appeared in the market.
For a while, Wangcai couldn't stand it anymore.
What are these inferior imitations? Can they actually replace The West Chamber and divide the market share of The West Chamber?
Just thinking about it makes people feel sick.
Unfortunately, there is really no good way to make money at this time.
Brother Ming Yun once said that he wanted them to keep a low profile for a while, but in Wangcai's view, why should they keep a low profile? Why should they be asked to keep a low profile?
Broken teeth and swallowed it?
If this is the case, it is not a source of wealth.
Therefore, Wangcai decided to take the initiative to find Zhao Xun to further discuss the specific matters of the new book.
A new book must be written, but the specific subject matter and to what extent it should be written need to be sat down and discussed.
If Brother Mingyun has any good ideas, then there will be hope for Wangcai in the future.
…
…
"Brother Mingyun, look at their villainous faces. It's so shameful. I really don't understand how they can be so shameless. It's obvious that what they write is inferior imitation, but they act like they are
Just like the original product.”
Wang Caiqi waved his fists bulgingly, looking extremely angry.
It's not like he never thought about enduring it, but now he really can't endure it anymore.
"Wang Cai, please calm down and don't be impatient."
Zhao Xun pressed his hands downward, signaling Wangcai to be calm and calm.
"Didn't we talk about this issue before? I don't think there is any problem?"
"Oh Brother Mingyun, it happened one time and another. It was one thing at the time, and it's another thing now. I didn't see their extremely ugly faces at that time. Now that I have seen it, I can't bear it anymore. Since I can't bear it anymore,
, then there is no need to endure it any longer!”
"Well…"
"Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Zhao Xun has rarely seen Wangcai perform so strongly. Wangcai's current performance is actually enough to explain some problems.
"So...you think I have to write a new book properly, right?"
Zhao Xun felt like crying but had no tears for a moment.
At the moment, he finally got some rest time and was looking like he could relax a bit. But now it seems that his dream is about to be shattered.
Difficult, why is life so difficult.
"Yes, if we don't write new books, the market will be completely divided by these inferior books. I really can't stand this, and I will fight them to the end!"
Wangcai made his position clear.
"Brother Mingyun, you have to stand up."
Wangcai's words undoubtedly made Zhao Xun helpless.
He really wanted to lie down, but Wangcai kept waving the small whip in his hand, which ruined Zhao Xun's plan to lie down.
"No problem, when have I ever been timid or frowned?"
At this moment, Zhao Xun was showing great momentum.
There was really nothing he could do.
But who wouldn’t want to lie down if they have a choice?
But now it seems that there is no chance.
Wangcai's emotions were so exciting that people were speechless.
But no matter how speechless Zhao Xun is, he still has to cooperate with Wangcai.
Who said Wangcai is a good brother?
A good brother cannot be let down no matter what.
Next…
The next thing Zhao Xun has to do is decide what type of book to write.
Only when this is confirmed can we continue the discussion.
Otherwise, if you are stuck here, what else is there to talk about?
"Wangcai, let's talk about choosing a topic for the new book. What type of book do you think I should write about?"
"Well…"
Wangcai was stunned at this time.
He wanted Zhao Xun to open a new book very strongly, but at this time he really didn't know what subject matter would be popular.
If we could barely make an estimate in the past, now we can only act like a bunch of demons.
"Brother Mingyun, I think it's better to change the theme. As for the specific theme, it's up to you."
Wangcai spread his hands and said: "Brother Mingyun, after all, you are writing the book, not me, so it is better for you to resist."
"Um…"
Zhao Xun thought to himself, "Well, Wangcai doesn't even want to give him a direction. It's really difficult for him."
"Let me think about it, I have finished writing novels about monsters and romance, and I have also written novels about romance. So next, only fairy and monster novels are left."
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and felt that it was time for Journey to the West to appear.
Generally speaking, Journey to the West is still very popular. It depends on the release strategy.
If Journey to the West can be given a better positioning and a more perfect setting and background, then Zhao Xun has reason to believe that Journey to the West will definitely become a hit.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Wangcai, I have already roughly figured out what I want to write. I call this Journey to the West. It is the story of a group of people going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures."
"Well…"
Wangcai was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Journey to the West? Learning from the Scriptures?"
"right!"
Zhao Xun said without hesitation: "Journey to the West should meet the needs of readers, so I decided to write it. But Brother Mingyun, I'm afraid you have to put more thought into packaging and publishing this book. After all, you can only get this book
Only when the book is accurately positioned can it become a hit as soon as it is launched.”
"Ah haha, don't worry. I can handle business operations."
"But this time, Brother Mingyun, your update speed can't be too slow. No matter what, you have to ensure the update speed. If you could update the previous two books faster, you would definitely not be as good as you are now.
It will definitely be more popular.”
Although Zhao Xun emphasized the so-called hunger marketing to Wangcai again and again.
But in Wangcai's opinion, it would be more beneficial to update faster.
The faster the update speed, the higher the readers' desire to read. As long as the quality is not too high, there will be no big problem.
But if the salted fish update is messed up, it will be difficult to maintain even if it has high popularity at the beginning.
Therefore, update speed is critical at any time.
"Uh...I will pay attention to this, but I can't maintain a high-intensity state without any decline. As long as you are a person, you will get tired sometimes. I can only promise that I will do my best, but
I cannot guarantee the specific update speed.”
Zhao Xun did not give Wangcai accurate words, because in his opinion, Wangcai was the most devilish guy. Once he was given a promise, he would take this promise to KPI Zhao Xun. What if Zhao Xun was because of this income?
If it is reduced, there really will be no place to cry.
Therefore, Zhao Xun must not let his words go to death. He must leave one alive.
"Yeah, okay, as long as you know what you're doing, I won't force you."
Now that the goal of making money has been achieved, there is no intention to continue forcing Zhao Xun.
He also knows that Zhao Xun is a docile donkey, and it is easy to say whatever he wants. If he goes against his will, he may suddenly collapse.
"So now there is another war and another dispute in the Ellen Lore continent?"
"Yes."
Baron Guos's face looked a little heavy. Although things are generally under control now, it is basically impossible to completely resolve the war.
"Tsk tsk tsk"
Prince Harry Botzman fell into deep thought for a while.
He knew that this must be related to the rebellion of the Holy Knights.
Prince Harry Botzman never expected that the Holy Knights would cause such a big fuss and get into such a tense situation.
At that time, Prince Harry Botzman was only thinking about finding the traitor among the Holy Knights, so he did not spend too much energy on paying attention to the war in the Kingdom of Casper.
Unexpectedly, the war has spread to this extent, which is beyond Prince Harry Botzman's expectations.
"So there shouldn't be any problems on my father's side, right?"
"The capital city is very safe. Basically, it is judged that it happened in the border areas. The rebels are raging in these places. They really want to invade the capital city, but at least so far they do not have the strength. So now it seems that both His Majesty the King and the capital city are
It’s safe.”
"It's just temporary safety, right?"
Harry Potts was not a prince, but he heard the implication of Baron Guos' words.
He smiled bitterly and said: "So the Corruptors actually left a lot of troops in the continent of Ellen Lore. They did not bring all the troops to the Great Zhou world we are in."
"The disputes in the Great Zhou world only stay in the Great Zhou world. But we cannot participate in the disputes in the Ellen Lore continent, at least not in a short period of time."
At this moment, Prince Harry Botzman's eyes were full of helplessness.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so pessimistic. At least the defense system of the capital is still very complete. It is impossible for the corruptors to invade the capital just by relying on the border. There is only one way for them to invade the capital, and that is to gather again.
Some allies. But the situation in the continent of Ellen Lore is actually very clear at this moment. It is almost impossible to gather enough allies at this time. Unless the main force of the Corruptors returns from the Great Zhou World. But it doesn't matter.
There is a high probability, because the Dark Portal has been closed. It will take a lot of effort to reopen the Dark Portal. Moreover, the Corruptors have not yet achieved their goals at this time, so they will not be willing to do so."
Baron Guos's analysis can be said to be very reasonable and accurate.
Prince Harry Botzman nodded frequently after hearing this.
"The current situation is actually quite ideal. As long as we can hold back the main force of the Corruptors, there will not be any danger to the Erenlohr Continent and the Casper Kingdom."
"Well, but we can't just hold them back, we must try our best to completely defeat the Corruptors or even eliminate them. Injuring ten of their fingers is worse than cutting off one of them. Only by causing serious damage can we maximize the
to kill them."
"Well, I agree with this. At present, it seems that the academy alliance still has this strength. As the leader, the academy is quite powerful and can fully shoulder this responsibility."
"I want to have more exchanges with the academy recently, so that I can have a better understanding of their next strategies."
"Well, you should be more proactive. There is no problem in being proactive."
Lauren raised her head and began to stare at the night sky.
Stars twinkled in the night sky.
These countless stars were connected together, giving Lauren an almost magical feeling.
There was a time when Lauren became obsessed with admiring the night sky.
The night sky can make him feel quiet, and the absolute quietness allows him to calmly look back on everything he has experienced.
It also allows him to take a good look at all this and look forward to the future.
The future is promising, and the future is promising.
When he first came to the academy, Laurent actually didn't have much expectations for the future.
Because he knows that they just changed the world.
The Corruptor will still follow you like a shadow.
But later Lauren found that he was too pessimistic.
The Corruptor did chase him as he expected, but it did not cause much damage to him.
The entire academy's defensive system is so robust, it's so robust that it's staggering.
With such a solid defense, no one can pose much of a threat to the Academy Alliance's defense line.
The Corruptor has also launched several tentative attacks, but the results have been mediocre.
The Corruptor's attack was blocked by the academy, and any dirty tricks they tried were easily cracked.
It can be said that the academy's performance throughout the entire process was perfect, which is really enviable.
Luo Lun was proud of being able to meet Zhao Xun and cooperate with the academy.
With such a powerful ally, Laurent felt very at ease.
There was a time when Lauren didn't know when the Dragon Clan would be revived.
But now he finally sees hope.
The hope brought by the academy.
"Tsk tsk tsk"
Everyone feels very happy when there is hope in life, and Lauren is no exception.
Back then, he had vowed to personally bring the Dragon Clan back to its peak, and now the opportunity has finally come.
It is not an easy task to ensure that everyone is in a stable environment. But the academy is doing a good job, and Zhao Xun is doing a good job. So they basically don't have to worry about the revival. They only need to do the things at hand.
Already.
"Tsk tsk tsk"
"Lauren, why aren't you asleep at this time?"
Seeing Luo Lun staying on the bamboo tower to look at the stars, Zhao Xun also came over from behind and sat next to him.
"Ah, you haven't slept either. We are all night owls, so let's not talk about others. Come on, since you are all here, let's chat."
The relationship between Luo Lun and Zhao Xun is like that of opposite-sex brothers, so he was very happy when he saw Zhao Xun coming.
"Haha, okay, what are we talking about?"
"Let's talk about the universe you mentioned last time."
"Um?"
The universe, this is a very broad question.
After Zhao Xun finished chatting with his third senior brother Long Qingquan last time, he started chatting with Luo Lun, the leader of the dragon clan.
They talked quite a lot.
"The topic of the universe is actually quite broad. Let's just talk about the world we live in. This is actually just one of the small stars. There are actually quite a lot of such small stars in the vast universe, but these worlds are different from each other.
The room seems to be separated, but in fact as long as the door can be opened, there is basically no obstacle."
"The Dark Door is also such a door, right?"
"good."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "It is not difficult to open that door, but it is not a simple matter to keep it open after opening that door. Of course, the door of darkness has been closed now. But before that,
, in fact, it lasted for a long time. During such a long period of time, people in the two worlds have formed an interoperability, and at this time, its value has basically been formed."
"So theoretically speaking, we can achieve interconnection with people in any world, as long as we are willing, as long as we can open that door. After opening that door, everything will be connected. So from this perspective, you
It can be considered that all worlds are connected.”
"The universe itself is connected."
"Tsk tsk, this is really interesting."
Laurent continued to ask with great interest: "So in fact, all of this is a certain thing, right?"
"There is uncertainty among certainties, and there is certainty among uncertainties. I think it can basically be understood this way. We don't need to make it absolute or isolate it. We just need to consider this issue reasonably and comprehensively."
Lauren nodded frequently as she listened.
In his opinion, Zhao Xun's theory is really interesting.
A very complicated matter suddenly became simple after Zhao Xun introduced it like this.
"Tsk tsk tsk"
"So we will also have the opportunity to dream of the vast sea of stars and the vast Milky Way in the future, right?"
"There is indeed a chance, but the prerequisite is that we must be willing to do it. If we feel that this home we are in is perfect enough, then why do we have to go to the dream star sea and dream star river?"
Zhao Xun feels that this issue should be considered dialectically. It does not mean that the universe must be perfect, nor does it mean that the universe must be beautiful.
If you explore the universe blindly, you may not get what you really want.
At least Zhao Xun felt that the Great Zhou world they were in now was quite perfect.
Under such circumstances, it would be good if the status quo could be maintained.
Unless one day in the future, the Great Zhou world is no longer suitable for life and for people to gather in large numbers, then it is necessary to move to the vast sea of stars to find new galaxies and planets suitable for life.
"What you said makes sense..."
Zhao Xun's words made Luo Lun fall into deep thought for a moment.
"The reason why we left the continent of Ellen Lore is because we can no longer survive there. Who doesn't want to live in the place where he was born and raised. As long as there is the slightest chance, we will not leave at this time.
.The reason why we left is because we really can't live anymore. Staying in the continent of Ellen Lore means slow death. The dragon clan has already declined and can no longer withstand the struggle. If we continue to struggle, it will not be long before it is completely destroyed.
.”
Laurent seemed extremely emotional when he said this.
Zhao Xun could somewhat understand his mood.
At this moment, Zhao Xun tried to calm down Luo Lun's mood and said: "Yes, your choice is extremely correct now. If you continue to stay in the Alan Lore continent, you will basically have no future.
"
"You have chosen the most perfect decision for your tribe."
"This decision does not pose any problem to your tribe. As long as you continue in this way, I think we can achieve the revival of the Dragon Clan. The revival of the Dragon Clan is not as difficult as imagined. As long as you are willing to work hard and work hard,
I think the hope is still quite high.”
At this time, Zhao Xun must show the responsibilities of an alliance leader no matter what.
When alliance members are confused, when their emotions fluctuate, Zhao Xun has no reason to escape. He must stand up in time and give them comfort.
"Um"
Luo Lun's mood immediately became quite stable after Zhao Xun's comfort.
For him, the trials and tribulations he is experiencing will eventually end. When these are over, the Dragon Clan will no longer be the same Dragon Clan. When these are over, the Dragon Clan will be able to achieve Nirvana completely.
"Well, it will definitely happen. I am very optimistic about you. As long as you can develop steadily, it is a good thing. As long as you can develop steadily, there is hope."
After enlightening Luo Lun, Zhao Xun returned to his residence.
It's already late at night and it's basically rest time.
But Zhao Xun had no intention of taking a break because he was going to start writing a new book.
Originally, Zhao Xun planned to try procrastinating, but after Wangcai came so many times in total, Zhao Xun was really embarrassed to procrastinate any longer.
One person's delay can only make Wangcai more irritable, and it is impossible to solve the problem. What's the point of this?
So Zhao Xun decided to end it all as soon as possible.
Writing a new book has never been a difficult task for Zhao Xun. Especially after two popular books in succession.
Now Zhao Xun has completely mastered the routine of writing books and can skillfully write everything he wants to write from the beginning. As long as it can go through a smooth and excessive development, his new book will definitely become popular again. Of course,
At the moment, Zhao Xun is more worried about whether his new book will be banned by the court and the Dog Emperor as soon as it is published. After all, Emperor Xianlong has done the same thing twice, and Zhao Xun will not feel guilty even if he does it a third time.
Any surprises.
Therefore, Zhao Xun still had to keep a secret and try his best to ensure that Emperor Xianlong would not find out.
This is indeed a technical job, but Zhao Xun enjoys it.
After all, it is about making money.
It cannot be said that Zhao Xun is very familiar with Journey to the West, it can only be said that he has mastered everything.
Every plot and every detail is basically engraved in my mind.
So at this time, Zhao Xun can write all the plots just right and arrange each plot clearly and clearly.
Next comes the most critical step, which is polishing.
There are still many things in Journey to the West that are not in line with the characteristics of this era.
Although the world of Dazhou is a feudal era, there are still some differences. These differences must be taken seriously and rationally. Only in this way can all the plots be perfectly laid out and all the details can be expressed appropriately.
come out.
If you just blindly demand plot and climax, all kinds of problems will basically arise. These are things that Zhao Xun does not want to see anyway.
Because for him, what he hopes is that Journey to the West can be promoted smoothly and released smoothly.
As far as the story itself is concerned, Journey to the West is already quite excellent. Zhao Xun even thinks that no one can shake the story of Journey to the West. In this case, writing it a little more plainly might actually be a good thing.
The continuous advancement of the plot can attract readers to continue to taper, and attract readers to continue reading.
This is what Zhao Xun realized after publishing two popular books.
Zhao Xun is a person who is extremely strict with himself, so he will constantly try various new tricks.
But these routines must satisfy one point, that is, they must be absolutely rational.
A story without rationality and logic cannot be regarded as a good story. At most, it can be regarded as some inferior patchwork. Such patchwork stories lack attractive core qualities and often make people feel lethargic.
Of course Zhao Xun didn't want the story he wrote to be in such a form.
So he will check out the details one by one and confirm the development of the story one by one. Only after confirming all these can he write a perfect story and a story that satisfies himself.
Only when you are satisfied can readers be satisfied. Only when you are satisfied can readers be satisfied.
To put it bluntly, this is a very simple economic account.
People with a little intelligence can clearly understand the reason.
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, he just wants to succeed in doing something he thinks is right.
Writing a book is inherently a struggle. If you do it right, you may skyrocket to 90,000 miles. If your writing is bad, just change your vest and start over.
Wangcai plays this game with great proficiency.
Now, overall, Wangcai has brought business operations to the extreme. Next, it depends on Zhao Xun's own performance.
If he can exert his own strength, then there is still hope that Journey to the West will be completely turned into a fire book.
At present, Journey to the West still has the characteristics of a book on fire. As long as some factors are gathered together, Zhao Xun feels that it is only a matter of time before Journey to the West becomes popular.
Coupled with the fact that Wangcai, a business wizard, is working hard behind the scenes, it will be difficult for Journey to the West to become a hit.
Some people are born to eat this kind of rice, and Zhao Xun feels that he really has hope of becoming a god with this book.
…
…
After staying up all night, Zhao Xun felt ecstatic.
He never thought that he would be able to write all night.
The whole night of fighting made Zhao Xun feel like he was about to faint.
If he was not a practitioner, I'm afraid he really wouldn't be able to bear it now.
But fortunately, he is a practitioner, so the problem is not too big.
With such a thick stack of manuscripts, Zhao Xun could go to see Wangcai calmly.
At least when Wangcai saw him, he wouldn't think he was slacking off in his work.
Coding is difficult, and it is even harder to write a high-quality novel that will sell well.
After Zhao Xun worked hard for a long time, he most wanted to get a word of praise, and that would be enough.
He didn't even think about whether the new book would be a hit or not.
Because in Zhao Xun’s opinion, it’s hard to think whether the new book will be popular or not based on its quality.
…
…
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Brother Mingyun, you don't have to work so hard. I just said that you can increase your writing speed appropriately. Who would have thought that you could write the manuscript directly. It's amazing!"
Looking at the thick stack of manuscripts, Wangcai felt happy.
He never thought that Zhao Xun’s update speed would be so impressive?
Is this still the Zhao Xun he knows? The Zhao Xun who writes and delays updates, updating like a free fish?
"I actually don't have any merits as a person. If I did, it would be that I have a strong execution ability. I will definitely work hard to do the things I am determined to do, and I will definitely do everything well in the shortest possible time."
Zhao Xun thought to himself, can you pretend it’s time now?
Good guy, once you have a manuscript, you will feel confident. You no longer need to be as humble and timid as when Wangcai asks questions.
"Haha, you are indeed Brother Mingyun, so generous!"
"Wangcai, we still have to look at the problem separately. I have written the manuscript, and now it's up to you. If you can get everything done in the shortest time, then we can do it in the shortest time.
time to dominate the market.”
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Wangcai's eyes narrowed into slits.
"Hahaha, brother Mingyun, you can rest assured. Now there is basically no chance that your book will not be popular after my business promotion."
"Well, that's good."
"By the way, I have a better memory this time. I promise to find another bookstore to distribute your new book, so that Emperor Xianlong will not target your new book because he targets our Pan family."
This is also the method Wangcai came up with recently.
For Wangcai, changing bookstore distribution is an easy matter.
This kind of thing is simply too normal in the business world.
"Well, this method is good. With this method, we no longer have to worry about the brain-dead dog emperor."
"Well, let the dog emperor smell the farts and eat them."
…
…
"La la la, la la la..."
After some adjustments, Wangcai found that things were actually very simple to do.
After some tentative operations, the trial reading part of Journey to the West has been put on sale in Chang'an City.
This time, Journey to the West was not sold at Wangcai's Panji Bookstore, but at his friend Zheng Jun's Zhengji Bookstore.
Therefore, Wangcai also wants to give some dividends to his friend Zheng Jun.
Although Wangcai felt some physical pain, he knew it was inevitable.
Since we want to cooperate, we must make some profit.
If the profits are not given to the Zheng family, the Zheng family will definitely not want to work hard.
It is impossible to have a horse run and not eat grass.
So this time Wangcai has made up his mind.
Just being determined is a good thing.
Many things are actually a matter of determination and attitude.
Next, Wangcai is waiting to collect the money.
He felt that Journey to the West would become a hit in as little as three to five days, or as much as ten days, and he would be able to make money by then.
It’s not shabby to make money by relying on your own strength.
If Zhao Xun was able to write three popular books in a row, what else could he rely on other than his strength?
…
…
"Have you all heard? The hot new book has been released again."
"Hot new book? What kind of book is this?"
"Of course it's Journey to the West. Haven't you heard of it?"
"Journey to the West? What is this?"
"It is said to be a fairy and monster novel, tsk tsk tsk..."
"Fairy and monster novels? What is it about specifically?"
"It seems to be a story about a group of masters and disciples going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. It sounds pretty good."
"Ah, really? How does it compare to Liaozhai and Romance of the West Chamber?"
"The content is somewhat similar to Liao Zhai. However, the overall narrative style seems to be different. It is even more incompatible with the style of Romance of the West Chamber."
"Well…"
"How about we give it a try?"
"Of course I have to give it a try. It would be a pity not to read such a popular book."
"Besides, it's a book that so many people are clamoring for, so it won't be bad at all. At most, it might just not suit your taste, but at least it won't be disgusting."
"Well, I think so too..."
"Okay, then let's not hesitate any longer and just go and see it!"
"Yes, yes, if you hesitate again at this time, what if the book is sold out?"
"That's not possible, we have to go quickly."
…
…
"It's really outrageous. We were just a little late, but the manuscript was sold out. Isn't this speed too exaggerated?"
"Yes, yes, I think it's outrageous. If you say it's The West Chamber, I can understand why a popular book like Liao Zhai has such a sales speed. Why is the sales speed of Journey to the West so fast!"
"Hey, what you said is outrageous. You didn't know that Journey to the West and Liaozhai were popular books when they first went on sale. So how did you know that Journey to the West wouldn't be a hit?"
"Yes, haven't you heard a saying? Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty. Even if Journey to the West is not popular now, how can you be sure that Journey to the West will not be popular in the future?"
"Yes, that makes sense!"
"In my opinion, Journey to the West has the potential to become a hit, so we have to stay close to it. I believe it won't be long before Journey to the West is reprinted. As soon as Journey to the West is completed, we will rush over to print it.
Buy it. But you must not make any more mistakes."
"Um…"
"You can only make one mistake. If you make one mistake, it can be said to be careless. If you make two mistakes, it can only be explained as stupidity."
"Hehehe, whenever a hot new book comes out, it basically cannot escape the eyes of us old bookworms."
"Anyway, the pursuit of reading is over. Watch it early and enjoy it early, and watch it late and enjoy the discount."
"You and I are both rich people, so why do you have to watch it late just for a small discount? It's a joke!"
"Yes, we must read the latest manuscript of Journey to the West, so as to ensure its timeliness."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Wonderful, wonderful..."
…
…
"Haha, Brother Mingyun, Journey to the West has become a huge hit."
"Um?"
Zhao Xun was eating oranges when he saw Wangcai running over like a little meat ball, and was stunned for a moment.
"So fast?"
Although Zhao Xun was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect Journey to the West to become so popular so quickly.
"Haha...a good thing, this is a good thing."
Zhao Xun smiled calmly and said: "But since you are so prosperous, you should stay calm. Journey to the West will become even more popular in the future..."
"Um…"
Zhao Xun was really happy.
It's easy to make one book popular. The difficulty of making three books popular is as high as the sky.
But Zhao Xun became popular again.
What is this indicating?
Content is the most critical element?
Hard power determines everything?
Zhao Xun changed his pen name and became popular once, and he was like no one else.
"Brother Mingyun, I decided to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, so I just printed an additional 50,000 copies at once."
"Fifty thousand copies?"
Zhao Xun was chewing an orange, but he spit out the orange all at once.
"Fifty thousand copies are too many."
Zhao Xun frowned and said: "Didn't I tell you before? Only by maintaining hunger marketing can you sell your books well and make a lot of money. You print 50,000 copies at a time, everyone knows
You have enough stock, so you won’t be in a hurry to buy it. So sales will drop.”
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Of course Wangcai remembers this, but sometimes he will habitually return to the environment to which he is accustomed.
"Okay, I understand. Then how many copies do you think is suitable for printing?"
"How many copies have been printed before?"
"First printing of five thousand copies."
Wangcai stretched out five fingers and said without hesitation.
"Well…"
"Same as last time?"
"Yes, it's the same five thousand copies as in The West Chamber."
"Well, I understand."
The number of five thousand copies of Zhao Xun's heart is actually relatively conservative.
So it's definitely easy to understand that it sold out all at once.
"In my opinion, five thousand more copies will be printed!"
"Printing five thousand more copies?"
Wangcai's eyes widened after hearing this.
The amount Zhao Xun requested was only 10% of Wangcai's desired amount.
One out of ten, what is Zhao Xun doing?
"Brother Mingyun, is it too little to print 5,000 more copies?"
"Five thousand books is a lot. To make money, be restrained. You must maintain restraint. If you cannot maintain restraint, you will not make big money. At most, you can make a small amount of money."
"But... I'm not willing to give in. I can obviously make more money."
"A small impatience will lead to a big plan. When you want to make money, you must not be greedy for petty profits. You must create a feeling of rare things and a place to live. Only in this way can Journey to the West become as popular as possible."
"Fine…"
Wangcai said almost through gritted teeth.
"Wangcai, is your partner reliable? If not, it will be a big trouble. If we can't control it, there will be many variables."
"Uh-huh…"
"It must be reliable. We are friends and have known each other since we were young, so brother Mingyun, you can rest assured. Even if everyone in the world falls out with me, he will not do it. Of course, brother Mingyun and
Brother Jia, the three of us are definitely not going to fall out, so I didn’t include it."
"Ha ha…"
Zhao Xun was amused by Wangcai's words.
The desire to survive is also too strong.
"Okay, okay, I know what you mean."
Zhao Xun laughed and said: "We are good brothers, so of course we share the blessings. You can rest assured that as long as you follow my routine to promote the book, Journey to the West will only become more popular than it is now."
…
…
"Hahaha, Journey to the West has been reprinted. Have you all heard about it?"
"Yes, yes, I heard it is exactly the same as the first printing."
"Five thousand copies? This is not as many as expected..."
"So...we have to go shopping quickly."
"Yes, yes, if you go too slowly, it will definitely be too late."
"Quick, quick, let's go shopping quickly."
"It's not easy this time. I don't know when the next printing will be."
"Yes, we must seize this opportunity, and we must not let up any more."
…
…
Every once in a while, some fire books will appear in the bookstore.
This is not surprising.
Some books can stay ahead of the curve for a long time, but some books just disappear in a blink of an eye.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Zheng Jun looked at the money earned on the cabinet and smiled from ear to ear for a while.
He originally just wanted to do Wangcai a favor for the Pan family, but ended up helping and made himself rich.
What was discussed before was that the Zheng family and the Pan family would split the money 28/28.
Although 20% is very small, in fact the Zheng family only acted as an agent and did not do much.
In this way, you can earn 20% profit, which is actually quite a lot.
As for how Wangcai shares the money with the author after he gets it, that's none of his business.
It's just that Zheng Jun doesn't understand why Wangcai insists that he can only print 5,000 copies, not even one more.
Wangcai's attitude is very tough, and he even gives instructive advice.
As a result, the pressure is naturally quite high.
Zheng Jun didn't know why, and he didn't dare to ask. He only dared to act according to Wangcai's instructions.
Once the situation gets out of control, Zheng Junke cannot bear the responsibility.
He might as well not worry about these things and do exactly what Wangcai said.
In this way, even if you make less money, you will not be able to open your mouth.
…
…
"Journey to the West...what is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is the most popular book in the market."
The little eunuch rushed to Emperor Xianlong respectfully to report.
"Um…"
Emperor Xianlong opened Journey to the West and read it with great interest.
He likes reading novels very much.
Whenever he had time, Emperor Xianlong would always try to read one or two novels.
For him, this is both a recreational process and a relaxing process.
Dealing with government affairs can become tiring very easily.
Emperor Xianlong's whole body would be suffocated by such mixed feelings.
But reading novels can make Emperor Xianlong forget these things for a short time and relax with peace of mind.
"Well…"
This Journey to the West is indeed very interesting.
Emperor Xianlong took a look at it from the beginning.
This is very rare.
You must know that Emperor Xianlong's taste was notoriously tricky. It was difficult for ordinary books to catch his eye.
Therefore, the quality of this Journey to the West can be imagined to be high.
"A good book, indeed a good book, but too short and too little."
Emperor Xianlong read the latest chapter of Journey to the West in one breath and sighed with emotion.
"It would be great if I knew who the author was, so that I could call him to the palace alone and give me a good update."
With a wry smile, Emperor Xianlong shook his head.
He also knew this was impossible.
The reason why the author uses a pseudonym is to avoid this situation, right?
…
…
After Wei Wuji left the Zhongnan Mountain Sword Tomb, he retreated to his secluded place near Chang'an - Taoyuan Village.
He has been living here temporarily for quite some time.
The reason why Wei Wuji wanted to live in seclusion here was because he valued one thing - purity.
The population in Taoyuan Village is not large, with only more than a hundred households.
Wei Wuji stayed temporarily in a villager's home and was given one penny a month.
A penny of silver was nothing in the city of Chang'an, where every inch of land was precious, and it was even looked down upon by others.
But it can definitely be considered a big sum of money in Taoyuan Village.
After Wei Wuji gave this condition, the villagers agreed without hesitation.
"Wonderful, really wonderful."
After returning to the village, Wei Wuji's mood suddenly became brighter.
Many things that he couldn't understand before have been completely understood after senior Yuan Mei gave him some advice.
Enlightenment is enlightenment.
Many things in life are like this. It is difficult and entangled when you think about it. But if you think about it in another time period, you can understand it well.
Wei Wuji has another plan for the next step.
But we have to wait until Emperor Xianlong leaves the palace.
Wei Wuji did not want to use the help of the mountain chief or the Academy to kill Emperor Xianlong, he wanted to kill Emperor Xianlong himself.
Some hatred must be avenged by oneself. It would be meaningless if it were done to others.
So even though the risk would be higher, Wei Wuji had no regrets.
He couldn't stand being poked in the spine and laughed at.
So he wanted to end it all with his own hands.
Emperor Xianlong died long ago, but he lives to this day.
Therefore, Wei Wuji must personally terminate him at some point in time.
…
…
"What, you want the Imperial Army to charge!"
Master Huiyan was shocked when he heard this.
"What do you think?"
"The Corruptors are obviously the stronger party and are obviously immortal. You don't charge, and you expect mortals with flesh and blood to charge?"
Master Huiyan is of course a top practitioner, and he will not be harmed easily.
But the problem is that the other soldiers of the Imperial Guard are made of flesh and blood.
The defense system of the Academy Alliance can be said to be quite solid.
Master Huiyan once witnessed it with his own eyes.
So it's impossible for him to allow the Corruptor to do this.
What's more, Emperor Xianlong once ordered him to preserve the Forbidden Army as much as possible. Because these are the best of the elite, and Emperor Xianlong spent a lot of money to train them.
One less person dies.
"Hmph, this is the decision made by the Corruptor Alliance after deliberation. Why are you dissatisfied?"
"The result of the Corruptor Alliance's deliberations? It's a joke. In my opinion, that's what you two meant!"
Master Huiyan, however, would not listen to Wu Oris's nonsense, and snorted coldly: "You are really shameless, you are so shameless."
"Shameless, since we are shameless, why do you want to cooperate with us? Since we are shameless, why do you want to get on the pole and stick to us?"
"you!"
Master Huiyan choked up for a moment. But it must be said that the other party's retort was so accurate that he could not find any reason to refute it.
But the question is whether he decided to cooperate with the Corruptor Alliance.
It was Emperor Xianlong who decided to do this!
Master Huiyan felt that he was wronged, but he could not push Emperor Xianlong out to take the blame!
After all, he still hoped to rely on Emperor Xianlong to make things prosperous and rely on Emperor Xianlong to promote Buddhism in the Western Regions.
It would be terrible if Emperor Xianlong felt disgusted with him.
This is no joke, and it can be an extremely embarrassing result if it is not done properly.
"This time, that time."
Master Huiyan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "If you lack the most basic respect for us, we can choose to withdraw!"
"Quit? Are you serious?"
Wu Oris raised his eyebrows and said in a very contemptuous tone: "Do you think quitting is something you can quit if you want to?"
"Or do you think that we are all soft persimmons and can be manipulated at will?"
Wu Oris was like an eagle staring at Master Huiyan, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
You can't hide the look in someone's eyes that wants to kill you.
Wu Oris is like this at the moment.
Master Huiyan showed no fear at this moment.
He knew that he must not show weakness at this time.
If he shows weakness at this time, everything he expected before will be impossible to achieve.
In order to fulfill Emperor Xianlong's instructions and to ensure the interests of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, he must stand up forcefully without hesitation.
"I've said everything I need to say, please do whatever you want next."
"you!"
Wu Oris stared at Master Huiyan fiercely.
"You have to think carefully and pay the price for what you said."
This is both a warning and an ultimatum.
If Master Huiyan is still ignorant of current affairs and cannot give him a satisfactory answer, Wu Oris would not mind giving Master Huiyan a lesson.
"Of course I've thought about it."
Master Huiyan no longer hesitated when he said those words.
He had already thought about what to do, so even if Wu Oris tried his best to intimidate and intimidate, Master Huiyan would not hesitate at all.
"Hahaha, good, good, good..."
Wu Oris was already laughing like crazy and said: "Then get out. Once you get out, don't come back again! Get out."
…
…
Master Huiyan finally decided to lead the imperial army back to Chang'an City.
He knew that the other party was using a provocation method, and Wu Oris wanted to completely anger him so that he would do something stupid.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Wishful thinking, really wishful thinking!
It's just that although he was happy like this, he had to face the criticism of Emperor Xianlong.
After all, Emperor Xianlong wanted him to fully cooperate with the Corruptors, but he did something like this, which made Emperor Xianlong completely unable to step down.
There is no doubt that Emperor Xianlong would feel extremely angry.
But Master Huiyan really couldn't care about so much anymore, he had to make this decision.
So let him bear all the consequences himself.
…
…
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong, who was sitting on the throne in Nuan Pavilion, was stunned after hearing Master Huiyan's report.
He really didn't understand how all this happened.
"Holy Monk...are you too impulsive?"
"Your Majesty, the poor monk is really not impulsive. In the current situation, the poor monk must do this. Otherwise, I would really be sorry for your majesty and the court. The corruptor wants to let the imperial army die. For this reason, the poor monk cannot agree to it anyway. Poor monk
If the monk agrees, the poor monk will be a sinner and will never be redeemed by death."
Emperor Xianlong's complexion turned pale and purple.
For him, the current situation is getting more and more complicated.
Originally, he took the Corruptor line, thinking that he was embracing a thick leg, but now it seems that the development of the situation is far beyond his expectation.
According to the current development model, the situation is actually very unsatisfactory.
What Master Huiyan can do is to preserve the Imperial Army. There is nothing wrong with that.
I can only say that time is also destiny.
After being forced into this situation by the Corruptors, Emperor Xianlong really had no good solution.
Even if it were him who was on the spot, Emperor Xianlong didn't think he could handle it calmly.
so hard.
Everything is so difficult.
Emperor Xianlong felt as if his throat was stuck. No matter what others did or how they did it, he would always follow them passively.
"That's all. I don't blame the holy monk for this."
Although he felt somewhat guilty in his heart, Emperor Xianlong knew that he could not show it.
Things are already like this at this time. If he offends Master Huiyan again, it can be regarded as losing his wife and losing his troops. It is really a big loss.
So now, even if Emperor Xianlong felt unhappy, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"Your Majesty, I would like to suggest that you keep some distance from the corruptors. Only in this way can Your Majesty see their ugly faces clearly."
Master Huiyan said coldly: "Your Majesty must be ruthless. Corruptors are masters of tigers and wolves, and cannot be trusted easily. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for our great Zhou Dynasty."
Master Huiyan used the word "I, Da Zhou" in every conversation, and he was obviously considering issues from Da Zhou's perspective.
This alone moved Emperor Xianlong very much.
"So, Your Majesty, be careful. You must be careful."
"Well, I understand."
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong knew that he could no longer break with Master Huiyan. So no matter what Master Huiyan said, he would agree.
"Actually, this result is the best for the imperial court. It is as corrosive as the dog biting the dog in the academy. Your Majesty is watching from the other side and reaping the benefits. Isn't it beautiful?"
It can be said that Master Huiyan's sudden decision disrupted Emperor Xianlong's plan.
This is not what he wants, but now he really has no choice.
"Well, let's wait and see for a while and then decide on the follow-up matters."
Emperor Xianlong's originally good mood was completely disturbed.
But what can we do? Life still has to go on.
…
…
"What, the Imperial Army has withdrawn!"
Prince Li Xiankun of the Eastern Palace was furious after hearing the news.
Originally, he had already made a plan. Originally, he had determined the entire palace change plan, but at this moment, everything had to come to nothing.
The return of the Forbidden Army to Chang'an City meant that my father must have received some news and realized something.
As a result, if the prince continues to act according to the original plan, he is likely to hit the knife edge directly.
This is not a wise move, but something a desperado would do.
Ever since
Faced with such pressure, Li Xiankun could only choose to abandon the original plan.
Although he felt very unhappy in his heart, there was nothing he could do about it at this time.
Sometimes you just have to choose to be patient.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, and those who achieve great things are often able to endure what ordinary people cannot.
The prince knew that he must be able to keep his composure at this time and never get angry because of such a trivial matter. If he got angry at this time, everything would be over.
So he must endure it, and he must do his best to endure it.
After all, he had endured it for so many years, and it didn't take him long to do so.
Li Xiankun desperately warned himself in his heart to calm down. At this time, he must calm down no matter what.
"Come here, please invite Mr. Zheng and Mr. Feng to come to the East Palace. Please use the teleportation technique to come. You must not disturb others."
Such a major change has occurred, and the entire plan will change accordingly. At this time, Li Xiankun will of course have to discuss it with Feng Hao and Zheng Jie.
In Li Xiankun's view, these two are his biggest helpers now.
If he can successfully initiate a palace change, the two of them will definitely play a great role.
so
Li Xiankun must inform the two of them in advance and reach an agreement as much as possible
"What, Your Highness, you called us here just to talk about this?"
When Zheng Jie learned the reason of Prince Li Xiankun, his lungs almost exploded with anger.
"Confused. Your Highness the Crown Prince is confused."
At this moment, Zheng Jie was really about to faint from anger.
"How can Your Highness be so confused?"
If he had been the prince of the dynasty and been said so, he would have been dragged out and beaten to death by Li Xiankun's order.
But at this moment, the person who said this was none other than Zheng Jie, the most powerful eunuch eunuch in the dynasty, and the person whom Prince Li Xiankun relied on the most at this moment.
So what can the prince do after hearing this? Should he break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach?
The prince was indeed angry, but so what?
He really can't do anything.
"Why did Mr. Zheng say this?"
Although he was feeling overwhelmed at the moment, Li Xiankun still had to behave very calmly, asking questions slowly like a little parrot.
"Why did you say this? Didn't His Highness see that His Majesty was deliberately trying His Majesty? If His Highness gave up the original plan so easily, wouldn't it mean that His Majesty had something wrong in his heart? This means that His Majesty has already begun
I doubt Your Highness. Your Highness thought for a while, what would be the consequences if the East Palace is suspected by the Lord. Once Your Highness continues to be suspicious, disaster will definitely happen."
Zheng Jie used very strong words in order to attract the prince's attention.
He knew that if what he said was not serious, the prince would probably choose to endure it.
The consequences of abandoning the original plan can be very serious.
Careful planning Once a well-planned plan is abandoned, it will be very difficult to come up with a suitable plan.
And how much morale can the soldiers have after going back and forth?
Yes, the interests of Donggong Liuli are closely tied to the current prince. But what about other than Donggong Liuli?
In addition to the others, those armies that are originally in a state of swing, those armies that are waiting to be sold, can they still put their treasure firmly on the East Palace?
Politics has always been a game of excellence.
All stakeholders choose the most self-interested solution within a certain defined range.
So we can't blame them for what they did wrong.
Because for them, this may really be the best choice.
"Does Mr. Zheng mean to tell Gu to continue to act according to the original plan?"
Zheng Jie shook his head when he heard this.
"Of course, we cannot completely follow the original plan. His Majesty's move is firstly to test His Highness the Crown Prince, and secondly, he wants to see His Highness the Crown Prince's reaction. Therefore, in my opinion, His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be using his tactics as soon as he comes up with them."
"Hmm? Mr. Zheng, you might as well talk about it."
Originally, Li Xiankun thought that Zheng Jie was just relying on his old man to show off, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Zheng Jie's condition is still quite good.
And Zheng Jie obviously meant what he said.
After saying these words, the prince's mood obviously calmed down a lot.
He really wanted to hear what Zheng Jie's further plans were.
If Zheng Jie can really provide him with a perfect plan next, it's not impossible to try.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to see His Highness's reaction? How do you think His Highness should respond best? From the slave's point of view, Your Highness can't show too much surprise, nor can he show that he's not surprised at all."
Zheng Jie swallowed and then continued: "If His Highness is too surprised, Your Majesty will definitely think that His Highness is too exaggerated. There must be something wrong in his heart. But if His Highness is not surprised at all, His Majesty will definitely be more
I think His Highness has a plan a long time ago. The best way is to show no surprise or surprise."
When Zheng Jie said this, his emotions had mostly calmed down, and he quietly waited for the princeling's attitude.
In his opinion, the prince's attitude next is the key.
If the prince can face all this more peacefully, then it will be.
If the prince still behaves surly, then he can only say that he really recognized the wrong person and assisted the wrong person.
Prince Li Xiankun's face looked gloomy and uncertain.
He was obviously thinking about what Zheng Jie just said.
For him, Zheng Jie's analysis cannot be said to be unreasonable, but its practicality is not that strong.
What is neither surprised nor happy, what is neither sad nor happy.
Controlling this kind of emotion is easy to say, but it's not that difficult to actually do it.
More importantly, as long as the performance is slightly disadvantageous, it is extremely exaggerated.
When you are in an extremely exaggerated mood, you basically don’t have to think about it, and all you have to face are very embarrassing situations.
The prince has been trained as a future emperor since he was a child, and all kinds of emperor's mental skills can be said to be at their peak.
One of the most important qualities is to hide your emotions.
The prince is able to control his emotions very well when dealing with anyone. It is difficult for ordinary people to see what the prince is thinking.
But against Emperor Xianlong and the prince's father, his ability was ineffective.
There is no better son than a father.
This is true for ordinary father and son, let alone the Tian family.
Emperor Xianlong was not just a father to the prince, but also a king.
A king who has been on the throne for more than thirty years can be said to know every word and deed of his son very well.
In this case, any judgment made by Li Xiankun may be directly seen through by Emperor Xianlong.
There is no way, the king knows too much about the prince, and the father knows too much about his son.
The two combined together made it almost impossible for Li Xiankun to hide when facing Emperor Xianlong. At this moment, all Li Xiankun could do was to remain silent.
"Does Mr. Zheng have any good methods, such as excuses for illness?"
The prince thought for a moment and then took the initiative to suggest something.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Jie shook his head repeatedly and said: "No. Your Highness has already used this trick to excuse your illness once. Your Majesty will definitely be vigilant this time. If His Majesty uses it again, he will be easily seen through. And with His Majesty's character, he will definitely be very angry."
Be cautious, it is almost impossible for His Majesty to visit the East Palace in person."
Zheng Jie said it very directly, and Prince Li Xiankun was naturally very disappointed after hearing this.
For him, this result can really be said to be quite disappointing.
It is neither possible to directly determine something, nor to make some in-depth judgments following this matter.
He was like a man stuck in a swamp. He could neither move nor move.
If he moves, he may sink deeper and deeper.
If he doesn't move, he will still die slowly.
At this moment, Li Xiankun deeply understood what despair felt like.
It is difficult to be an emperor, but even more difficult to be a prince.
The emperor must be wary of someone usurping the throne, and the prince must be wary of being replaced.
The two themselves are both heirs and enemies.
It's really touching.
At this moment, everyone can feel Li Xiankun's despair.
Naturally, Feng Hao is included among them.
"Ahem, can I say a word?"
"Master Feng, please speak."
The prince's expression softened slightly and he paused at Feng Hao.
"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, the most important thing about the current situation is to break the situation. As long as we find a way to break the situation, dealing with it is not as difficult as imagined."
"Um."
The prince's face turned rosy, he cleared his throat and said, "Master Feng, continue."
"The key to breaking the situation is to cause a stir. Today's court is like a pool of stagnant water. There has been no movement for a long time. All forces are waiting for changes, but no one wants to
We must take the initiative to seek change. It seems like there is no chance. In fact, it is not the case. In my opinion, His Highness only needs one small move to completely make this pond that is dead and can no longer die.
Become alive."
"oh?"
Prince Li Xiankun has been completely aroused by Feng Hao.
I have to say that Feng Hao is really good at manipulating people's hearts.
He said these words when the prince was in the most difficult time, said such words when the prince was most hesitant, said such words when the prince was at his wits' end and about to give up. At this time, the prince could still not look forward to Feng Hao.
Extremely?
"Your Highness, you can sell a flaw and wait for someone to take the initiative to jump out. Showing weakness is not a bad thing, the key is whether it can be exchanged for sufficient value after showing weakness."
Feng Hao has always been an opportunist.
He has been serving as the bad commander in the bad people's yamen for so many years. He can hold this position so firmly, so he naturally has his own specialties.
Feng Hao has never been worried about chaos. On the contrary, he is very accustomed to dealing with chaotic situations.
For him, the more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities he feels.
The more chaotic the situation becomes, the greater Feng Hao's hope of victory becomes.
Feng Hao is a person who is very good at winning in chaos.
Maybe he had already figured out the situation that others seemed confused and clueless.
A lot of things can actually be clarified from the very beginning.
A lot of things can actually be clarified when they operate on the surface.
Feng Hao didn't think there was anything complicated about it.
In his opinion, Prince Li Xiankun only needs to make a small move to show weakness, and then the entire situation will change dramatically.
"Well, specifically how to show weakness?"
Prince Li Xiankun now obviously wants to listen to Feng Hao's advice.
Because compared to Zheng Jie, Feng Hao's suggestions are more feasible.
He can teach Li Xiankun what to do specifically, instead of just telling Zheng Jie the general principles.
It's useless to just talk about some big principles, it will only make the situation more confusing.
Blindly talking about some big principles will only make the situation get more and more out of control, and will only make the situation completely out of control.
So far, Feng Hao has indeed handled the situation very well.
So far, Feng Hao's performance really cannot be faulted.
"Well, the core element of showing weakness is to show that you are afraid. How can you show your fear in front of His Majesty?"
Feng Hao didn't seem to tell the prince what Li Xiankun meant right away, but wanted to let the prince guess on his own.
This is certainly not the result that Li Xiankun hopes for the most, but at the moment, it seems that he can only follow Feng Hao's wishes and try to guess.
There is no way, the situation is like this, if Li Xiankun doesn't guess, the next situation will be even more complicated.
"You mean, I sent a few princelings to join King Qi?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness is wise and mighty."
At this time, Feng Hao's face showed a happy smile. Yes, the prince finally understood what he meant. It was not easy, it was really not easy.
Sometimes it's really just a simple thing that can reveal a person's talent.
At least from this point of view, the prince is indeed a man with great talent for power struggle.
It can be said that people born into the royal family are not very talented in this area, but it is not an easy task to maintain a good state and a high level.
The level and abilities that the prince has shown so far are all above the standard.
This made Feng Hao feel very gratified.
At least from the current point of view, the prince's standards in all aspects are very good, and he is no worse than his father, Emperor Xianlong.
Since then
Everything becomes simple.
The difficulties are somewhat difficult, but if you put them aside and try, you will find that there is still a chance to win.
The advantage of the prince is that he can use the officials of the Eastern Palace as bait and actively show weakness to seduce other feudal princes to reveal their flaws.
Feng Hao once said before that the current Great Zhou court is a pool of stagnant water.
It is difficult for stagnant water to have ripples and variables.
The only way is for one party to take the initiative to seek change and make adjustments.
Once one party is able to proactively make adjustments, a series of chain reactions will follow.
Then the situation we face will be different.
To put it bluntly, everyone is a pawn on this chessboard.
It's just that some people's chess pieces have a higher power position, and some people have a lower power position.
In fact, there is no essential difference.
The most taboo thing at this time is to take one's own identity too seriously and treat it lightly.
This will drag the entire chess game into a situation of no return.
Over time, it became really unreasonable.
That's why Feng Hao suggested that the prince simply exploit his plan and expose it through a flaw.
The prince's brothers don't have a fuel-efficient lamp.
When they see that something happens to the prince and he is about to fall, they will definitely jump out one by one.
Those former East Palace generals who took the initiative to defect to them must have first-hand inside information about the prince, and they must also be the targets of the kings' competition.
For the kings, as long as they can snatch enough old generals of the East Palace, they will have enough information about the East Palace in their hands.
In this way, their advantage will become quite large.
But they didn't know that this was actually a strategy of the prince, a way to show weakness and let the East Palace gang members infiltrate into the enemy.
Forbearance, restraint.
These emotions allowed the prince to steadily dominate the kings.
They can use this method to ensure their survival while putting pressure on the kings.
On the surface, the kings seemed to have taken a huge advantage.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you are clearly being calculated.
At this time, it is almost impossible to truly grasp the details.
At this time, it is impossible to truly achieve perfection.
This is the plan Feng Hao can think of.
He feels that this plan generally has no obvious problems and is feasible.
that's enough.
If you are still hesitant at this time, if you are timid at this time, then you really have no chance.
You must ensure that you have extremely strong determination before you can be completely successful.
"Well, I think Master Feng's proposal is quite feasible."
After listening to Feng Hao's story, the prince felt that this plan had a high chance of being implemented successfully.
At least it's better than Zheng Jie's plan.
Zheng Jie's plan is more like a large-scale sermon.
And what the prince hates most right now is preaching.
He has been a prince all his life, what kind of situation has he never seen?
What he needs at this moment is a plan, a practical plan!
"What do you think, Mr. Zheng?"
At this moment, the prince turned to Zheng Jie again, asking Zheng Jie for his opinion with a smile on his face.
In fact, his inquiry was only symbolic.
Because the prince had already made a calculation in his heart, that is, no matter what reaction Zheng Jie would have at this moment, he had already made up his mind about Feng Hao's suggestion.
"Well, I think Master Feng's method is feasible."
Of course Zheng Jie also understands this.
The prince is trying to get him down the stairs. He can't be shameless. Just getting off the stairs is a good solution.
"Okay, then I have decided to use Mr. Feng's plan. Specifically, I will order someone to draw up a charter. After the charter is completed, I will give it to you two to take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be modified.
."
This matter was of great importance, so Prince Li Xiankun decided to control the scope and let as few people know as possible.
Only in this way can we have greater security, and we will not be plotted by kings or taken advantage of by those who are interested.
