Three Five One: Allegiance to Broken Ling Ao's Legs!
Sauron looked at Yan Wuzhi's stubborn and handsome middle-aged face and sighed softly in his heart.
Although he denigrates his words as useless in his mouth, he thinks very highly of this person in his heart.
This is a person with very obvious advantages and disadvantages. He is unparalleled in talent in domestic affairs, has a profound understanding of human nature, knows how to employ people, and is upright and resolute.
The shortcomings are lack of emotional intelligence, being arrogant and self-willed.
Although he was only the governor-general of the Southeast Province, he was arrogant. Even his brother Yan Wuji was not taken seriously by him.
If you want this person to be talented, you must have a very tough person who can restrain him, boldly delegate power, and be able to protect him and let him run rampant in front.
The former Duke Zhiwei was barely such a person, with a fairly big mind and a strong enough background that he could hand over all the internal affairs of the entire Southeast Province to Yan Wuzhi.
But even so, Yan Wuzhi didn't think highly of Duke Zhiwei in his heart, thinking that he just had a good background and didn't have much ability.
Duke Zhiwei was beheaded by Sauron, and he felt a little pity without saying anything, but that's all, he didn't feel very sad at all.
In his opinion, the Southeast Province was just a springboard for his unfulfilled promise, and Duke Zhiwei was just a collaborator, far from being a master.
But Sauron is different. He has achieved his current status entirely by himself. In less than two years, he defeated Xili into disgrace.
Therefore, instead of saying that Gui Xingfu fell in love with Yan Wuzhi early on, it is better to say that Yan Wuzhi fell in love with Sauron early on.
Yan Tingyi is a fool, just a loyal dog of Prime Minister Yan Wuji.
Yan Wuzhi has been arrogant and ambitious since he was a child, and he wants to do something big.
But because of his legitimate concubine status, he had to succumb to Yan Wuji since he was a child, and he would succumb to his nephew Yan Tinglu in the future.
How could he be willing to do so? But within the Yandang Group, he will never get ahead. The biggest future in his life is to enter the cabinet and protect his nephew Yantinglu. There will never be a place for him in the Yanli Group.
.
Therefore, Sauron is his only chance.
But the more urgent he became, the more he wanted to put on a high profile and let Sauron serve him as a teacher to ensure a relatively equal cooperative relationship between the two parties.
In Yan Wuzhi's view, in the future Queen Yan Yan will not care about anything as the monarch, Sauron will be responsible for the king's affairs as the regent, and Yan Wuzhi, as the prime minister of the kingdom, will be in charge of the internal affairs of the kingdom. He and Sauron will be in charge of the kingdom's internal affairs.
As two carriages of the kingdom, they are equal in power.
He also had a deep understanding of that sentence. Seeking unity through struggle will lead to unity. Seeking unity through compromise will lead to unity falling.
Therefore, he couldn't wait to give Sauron a showdown.
Unexpectedly, Sauron slapped him in the face several times, and his face was completely torn, and his waist was almost broken.
He boasted that the official group of the Southeast Province, which he managed like an iron barrel, was beaten to pieces by Sauron in less than a quarter of an hour. All the officials defected, and he became a lonely man.
What was even more devastating was that Sauron had a profound understanding and analysis of human nature when he killed Ding Meng and Qin Shizhong, and the last words he said to him all showed that, whether it was about looking at people or understanding the general situation,
Sauron is far superior to him.
In particular, Sauron's vision and height of looking at the situation were much deeper and loftier than his, which was a huge blow to a proud and talented person like him.
Therefore, at this time, Yan Wuzhi really felt as if his backbone had been ripped out, and his waist was bent.
…
"I won't kill you. You can go back to the royal city." Sauron waved his hand to Yan Wuzhi.
He trembled before he could speak, and he opened his mouth to speak but then stopped.
Go back? Go back to the Yan family?
Of course, he will definitely have a good position after returning to the royal city. He may hold an important official position in the royal city, or he may be transferred to another province to serve as governor-general.
However, from now on, he is destined to rely on his brother Yan Wuji, and will never be able to be independent for the rest of his life.
He has been operating in the Southeast Province for seven or eight years, and all his businesses are here. How can he be willing to leave like this?
However, he was really unwilling to be asked to kneel down and serve Sauron now.
And in his opinion, Sauron has no talent on hand that can serve as the Governor of the Southeast Province, not one!
"Go and bring the return bag." Sauron waved.
"Yes!" said a warrior.
Soon, Gui Xingfu was brought to the lobby. He knelt down and kowtowed: "Old slave Gui Xingfu, I want to pay my respects to the Governor."
Sauron smiled and said: "Gui Xingfu, your errand has been ruined."
When he returned, he kowtowed and said, "This old slave is guilty, please punish me!"
This old turtle is really amazing, he is extremely thick-skinned, and he actually shouted the word "lord" at this time.
Sauron said: "Generally speaking, is the governor-general appointed by the cabinet, the governor-general, or his majesty the king?"
According to the laws of the kingdom, the governor-general is completely a subordinate officer of the governor and is completely appointed by the governor alone.
However, with the development and evolution of the kingdom's politics, the long history gradually became an official position used by the cabinet and the king to check and balance the governor, and became the highest civil official of a province.
But at least in name, he is still an official subordinate to the governor and can make decisions with a single word.
Gui Xingfu was so cunning. As soon as Sauron opened his mouth, he knew what he meant and immediately said: "The Changshi is an official of the governor. Of course, it is the governor who makes the decision!"
Sauron said: "Okay, from now on you will be punished and temporarily take charge of the Governor's Palace Chief Shi!"
Returning with a heavy burden, he kowtowed and said, "Old slave, I accept your order. Thank you so much for your cultivation, Master!"
At this time, Yan Wuzhi's face was pale and his whole body was cold.
He originally wanted to be reserved and wait for Sauron to take the initiative to make the appointment, but he did not expect that Sauron would directly let Gui Xing be the governor of the Governor's Palace.
In the past, Gui Xing was unable to do this long history as a prince of the kingdom. But now, the Earl of Linhai and the lord of Linhai City are Gui Qinshao, and Gui Xing is a white body, so of course he can hold this position.
Then, Sauron waved his hand and said: "Come here, send a carriage to take Master Yan Wuzhi back to the royal city!"
Immediately, two warriors stepped forward and took Yan Wuzhi away, intending to throw him out of the Governor's Mansion and drive him out of the Southeast Province.
At this time, Yan Wuzhi was so worried that he could not care about his dignity and reserve.
Compared to the ambition in your heart, what is a mere face? Do you really want to return to the royal city like a defeated rooster and accept Yan Wuji's mercy and gifts?
Suddenly, Yan Wuzhi struggled desperately and shouted loudly: "Marquis Sauron, I am willing to be loyal to you, I am willing to be loyal..."
Sauron said: "Are you willing to be loyal? But I don't have any official position to arrange for you?"
Yan Wuzhi said with great difficulty: "I, I am willing to help Lord Gui Xingfu."
"Really?" Sauron said: "You were originally a long history, but now you want to be a deputy. Are you willing to do so?"
"Aiming for the future, I will definitely let you see my talent." Yan Wuzhi said. After saying these words, his teeth almost bled from biting down.
Sauron nodded and said: "Okay, then you can stay and be Gui Xing's deputy. The two of you will work together to manage the internal affairs of the entire southeastern province!"
"As ordered..." Yan Wuzhi knelt down on his knees, feeling relieved but saying with great bitterness.
Why bother? If I didn't bother, not only would I still be the chief historian, but I would also be the number one civil servant around Sauron, a pillar of talent.
Now he's fine, not only has he become Gui Xingli's deputy, but he also doesn't even have half of his team at his disposal anymore.
Sauron's killing spree just now completely separated the entire Southeast Province official group from Yan Wuzhi.
Sauron looked at the two people who were kneeling on the ground, Gui Xinghui and Yan Wuzhi. Sauron said, "Send the order and have all the officials above the county magistrate in the six counties of the Southeast Province arrive at the Governor's Mansion within ten days to report on their duties."
"Yes!" Guixing kowtowed.
"Yes..." Yan Wuzhi said: "However, there are still some officials who are disciples of His Highness Ji Li, so they may not come!"
Sauron said: "Kill all those who won't come!"
Without saying anything, he trembled and said: "Yes!"
…
After everyone exited, Gui Xingfu was still kneeling on the spot.
When he came to East China Sea City, Sauron sent dozens of warriors and two thousand soldiers to escort and supervise Gui Xinghui. When Yan Wuzhi detained him in the Governor's Mansion, in fact, those Shadow Pavilion warriors could have led their troops to break through the Governor's Mansion and seize Gui Xinghui.
It was snatched out by Xing Fu.
However, they did not do that, and instead allowed Gui Xingheng to be detained in the Governor's Mansion, and then today's drama happened.
"Gui Xingfu, do you know what we should do next?" Sauron asked.
"I know." Gui Xingkou kowtowed and said, "Hone your words and make him truly your pillar."
Talking to smart people is simple.
"What else do you want?" Sauron asked.
He returned and said, "My adopted son Ling Ao is also in the Governor's Mansion!"
Sauron's eyes were stunned, and then he said: "Then bring him here to see you."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Ling Ao appeared in front of Sauron.
"Xiao Ao, kneel down!" Gui Xing said negatively.
Ling Ao gritted his teeth and looked at Sauron with extremely complex eyes, full of hatred, full of loss, and full of unwillingness.
"Xiao Ao, kneel down!" Gui Xingfu said sternly.
In Gui Xingfu's view, Sauron's power will undergo a huge expansion next, from the original fifty thousand troops to about 130,000. And after completely taking over the southeastern province, it will expand to
Two hundred thousand troops.
By then, how many opportunities will there be in the military and how many real power vacancies will there be?
Now that Ling Ao doesn't have many opportunities in Zili, it's better to come to Sauron. I believe that in the near future, Ling Ao will be promoted to the position of commander of ten thousand cavalry or infantry commander.
Ling Ao's face twitched, of course he knew his adoptive father's good intentions.
Moreover, he and Sauron were not really mortal enemies. The two sides had never had a real head-on conflict. As for the conflict, it was a competition between Sauron and Gui Qinshao two years ago, and Ling Ao broke Sauron's right arm in advance.
Sauron, on the other hand, didn't really do anything to him.
But he and Sauron were love rivals, and more importantly, at that time in the Royal City Academy, Ling Ao didn't see Sauron at all in his eyes, treating him like a pig or a dog.
And now, he actually wants to kneel down and be loyal to Sauron. How could he be willing to do so?
"I don't want to!" Ling Ao gritted his teeth.
Gui Xingfu suddenly trembled and said: "I raised you, you can only listen to me and kneel down!"
Ling Ao looked firm and brave, looked at Gui Xinggui and said: "Father, you are so kind to me, I will always respect you. But you want me to be loyal to Sauron? I can't do it!"
Sauron smiled and said: "Oh? That's strange. Is it because of Gui Qinshao and because we are love rivals? Do you think I'm a cuckold?"
Ling Ao's face twitched and he said nothing.
Suolun said: "Probably not. Zhili directly asked you for Qin Shao's first/night rights. Not only did you grit your teeth and agreed, but you still knelt down and worshiped him. After he ignored you, you were still full of uneasiness. It shows that your
Self-esteem is not that valuable, and your so-called feelings are not that valuable either? So what is the reason? "
Ling Ao's face at this time had no color and gradually became distorted.
Sauron said: "It should be jealousy. In the Royal City Academy, I was originally a bad person with a bad reputation and no future. But you are the proud son of the Royal City Academy, the attendant of the future king, and your status is far higher than that of me who is about to lose my territory.
Heir to the princes, I don’t exist in your eyes at all, you treat me like an ant. But now that I am so high up, you can’t even see my back when you look up. This kind of gap between heaven and earth makes you kneel down and serve me? Of course you don’t
Yes, in your heart you would rather beg than grovel to me, and then you interpret this jealousy as pride?"
"In your heart, it should be natural for Li Li to be aloof, so it is natural for him to sleep with your wife. And for a rotten person like me to rise up and become the Marquis of Furang and the Governor of the Kingdom, it is completely unacceptable.
Soran said with a smile: "This is like the poor neighbor you looked down upon when you were a child. Suddenly one day suddenly becomes brighter, and you feel jealous and secretly swear that even if I starve to death, I will not come forward to please you or even say a word of flattery.
, and then interpret this jealousy as integrity?"
Sauron's words were like a knife, stabbing fiercely into the depths of Ling Ao's soul, completely tearing apart the most miserable and ugliest side of his heart.
Ling Ao couldn't look straight into his heart. In anger, he suddenly pointed his finger and said sternly: "Sauron, you villain is in power. How long can you be arrogant? His Highness Ji Li will soon knock you down.
Eighteen levels of hell, you will die without a burial place!"
Then, Ling Ao suddenly turned around and said: "Father, since you want to follow Sauron all the way to the dark side, there is nothing I can do about it. I will go back to the royal city and say goodbye!"
Gui Xing's negative complexion turned pale, his whole body was shaking, and he was speechless for a moment.
Seeing Ling Ao rushing out angrily, Sauron suddenly said coldly: "Who asked you to leave?"
Ling Ao said coldly: "I am the special envoy of His Highness Ji Li and the adopted son of Duke Turingtuo. What do you dare to do to me?"
Sauron said: "Killing you would be like killing a wild dog. But I think it's more fun to keep you, so I won't kill you. But two years ago, I competed with Gui Qinshao, and you shamelessly interrupted me.
Right arm. I will always give blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
Then, Sauron said coldly: "Someone, break Ling Ao's legs and throw them out!"
