These people are not loyal, they are just speculating, and they are out for profit. Once there is a greater benefit, they are likely to abandon King Duan or even betray King Duan.
Li Ying sighed and said: "If Li Liuru is an enemy and not a friend, I will really be unable to move forward."
Originally, Li Liuru was used to suppress another deputy, Zhao Ruifang, so that he could free up his hands and feet to act.
But now it seems that I am just being smart.
Everyone was tricked by Li Liuru.
"Whose person is he?" Li Ying asked.
Fakong looked at her with a smile.
Li Ying said angrily: "Don't whet your appetite!"
"If what I saw is correct, it is Prince Ying." Fakong said.
Li Ying frowned and said coldly: "Prince Ying!"
Fakong smiled and said: "This time, you have learned the methods of Prince Ying, right?"
"Prince Yi has more people," Li Ying thought for a while: "But Prince Yi's people disdain to use those underhanded methods and act upright, while Prince Ying uses more underhanded methods, which is very uncomfortable."
Fakong said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Dangdang Zhengzheng has no chance to defeat King Yi, so he can only take risks and make strange moves."
"This will be very offensive." Li Ying shook her head: "This is not a long-term solution."
"To defeat the evil with a strange move, and then follow the upright path," Fakong said: "This is obviously the plan of the British Prince."
"It can't be that easy." Li Ying said: "He thinks too beautifully. Once he gets used to playing strange and risky moves, he won't take the bright road."
Strange moves and risky moves are shortcuts, the risks are high, but the rewards are also higher. Once you get used to them, you no longer want to take the high road. The bright road is too slow and too hard.
"For the sake of the throne, you can do anything, no matter what, and use any means," Fakong shook his head and sighed: "The throne is a thing that makes people crazy."
Li Ying frowned and thought deeply.
She was still thinking about how to break the situation.
Both deputies have problems, they are both opponents, and I, the left assistant minister, don't have a good solution.
It sounds like the deputy is assisting the chief officer on the left, but in fact he is restricting the chief officer. The best way is to pull one to beat the other.
But now they are all enemies, especially if they join forces, it will be extremely difficult.
Fa Kong smiled and said nothing.
Time passes slowly, and the moon shines like water.
Fakong bathed in the moonlight, felt the coolness of the night, and felt calm and peaceful. Especially seeing Li Ying so troubled, he felt even more at peace.
After Fakong finished a glass of wine, Li Ying said slowly: "It seems that I can only use dirty tricks."
Fakong raised his eyebrows.
Li Ying said: "One of these two must be defeated."
"Who to knock down?"
"...Li Liuru."
"Is Li Liuru more threatening?"
Li Ying nodded lightly: "You have deceived both Prince Duan and me. This person is too insidious. Keeping him here would be a disaster."
Fakong said: "How to defeat him?"
"..." Li Ying frowned and thought.
She is good at martial arts fighting and secret espionage. She is not familiar with the fighting methods in the officialdom, so she was a little confused for a moment.
Fakong said: "Are you going to kill someone with a borrowed knife, or just suppress him?"
Li Ying said slowly: "It's best if you can borrow a knife to kill people."
"They are all very slippery, and it's not easy to take advantage of them." Fakong said, "They need to be familiar with each other's relationship."
"Any good ideas?"
"Your other deputy, Zhao Ruifang." Fakong said, "You can borrow his help."
Li Ying shook her head: "Zhao Ruifang is also a member of the King of England. They are in the same group. How is it possible?"
Fa Kong smiled.
Li Ying frowned: "Can we really borrow his strength?"
Fakong said: "We are from the same faction, how can we make ourselves more important under the King of England?"
"Eradicate the other one?"
"Exactly." Fakong said: "This is the common method used by people in the officialdom, and it is completely different from the methods used by people in the martial arts world."
Li Ying sighed: "In this case, doesn't everyone have to be on guard?"
When you have to guard against your opponents as well as those in the same camp, your life will be too tiring, and you will never have any peace of mind all day long.
Fakong said slowly: "The dangers in the officialdom are even more dangerous than the fighting in the martial arts. This is not just talk, it is truly exhausting and tiring. Without enough ability to nourish one's energy and cultivate one's mind, it is difficult to hold on, and it is easy to become discouraged.
And give up.”
Li Ying nodded: "I have only been here for a few days and I am already exhausted. I really don't know how they lasted for so long."
"You can adapt to it if you persist for a while," Fakong said: "However, adapting does not mean that the harm can be completely eliminated. The state of mind will still be affected by it, which will eventually erode the state of mind and lead to a sharp decline in cultivation."
Li Ying's face changed slightly: "Has your cultivation level declined?"
Fakong said: "Long-term intrigues and depression will definitely cause changes in the state of mind and lead to a deterioration in cultivation."
Li Ying's bright eyes flashed and her face darkened slightly.
You want to be a Demon Lord, and your cultivation is the most important foundation. No matter how big your official position is, if your cultivation regresses, you will lose more than you gain.
Fakong smiled and said: "Of course, in the officialdom, one also sharpens one's state of mind, but this kind of sharpening is probably contrary to the swordsmanship and sword intention."
Swordsmanship is often about moving forward, attacking, and pursuing sharpness, rather than being flexible, defensive, and subject to change.
Li Ying's sword intention is not flexible, but overbearing and domineering.
This kind of sword intention of hers is contrary to the forbearance and low-keyness of the officialdom. Over time, her sword intention will inevitably be damaged and her cultivation will deteriorate.
This is what he failed to see with his clairvoyance at first.
Therefore, he always said that the clairvoyance cannot be relied on, and one can only observe its rough outline, and it is still a rough outline that is always changing.

And some details are often invisible. The presence or absence of these details will lead to completely different endings.
Li Ying stood up slowly and walked around with her hands behind her hands.
She was dressed in white clothes like snow, which made her face as bright and flawless as mutton-fat white jade, exuding a crystal halo under the moonlight.
Fakong continued to drink wine, slowly admiring her beauty, the melting moonlight, and breathing in the clear and refreshing breath.
After a while, Li Ying stopped and looked at him with a frown: "Am I going to leave the officialdom and return to the Liangsi again?"
"If you don't advance, you will retreat; if you don't retreat, you will advance," Fakong said: "There are always yin and yang in the world, so you still have a choice."
"...Control them as soon as possible!" Li Ying said slowly.
If you don't want to go against your own sword intention, then get rid of your subordinates as soon as possible so that you can run your orders smoothly.
Fakong nodded: "One sword can break all laws. Use the will of the sword and the heart of the sword to understand people's hearts, thereby breaking through the current difficulties and the layers of external shackles of the human heart. Only in this way can the sword's will be sharpened without wearing out."
Li Ying's eyes sparkled like lake water ripples in the sun.
She just felt that the clouds in front of her eyes were gone, and a bright road appeared.
With excitement and gratitude in her heart, she pursed her lips and smiled softly: "One sword can break all laws, so one sword can break all laws."
She smiled and said: "Can my sword break your Dharma?"
Fakong smiled and said: "As long as your sword is strong enough."
Li Ying chuckled and said, "Let's wait and see!"
Her white shirt suddenly fluttered, as if she were standing in a strong wind, and her hair flew up, then fell flat again.
Fakong smiled and said: "Good understanding, you have taken another step forward, you are really going to catch up with me."
In just a few words, Li Ying broke through Li Ying's shackles, her mood improved to a higher level, and her cultivation also improved accordingly.
Li Ying rolled her eyes at him.
The more diligent I am, the more I feel that the Dharma is unfathomable, and the more despair I feel.
