Chapter 126: Threats
Listening to Yu Chi Jincheng's words, Yu Chi Longcheng felt a chill in his heart, once upon a time, the kind-hearted, compassionate, and bent on pleasing his mother and his own old seventeen became like this! There is no family affection on the throne, is it really so cruel?
"Father, the son came back this time, one is to report safety to his father, and the other is to ask his father for something." After Yu Chi Jincheng finished speaking, he stared at him with those good-looking phoenix eyes.
Yu Chi Longcheng, who was slightly trembling in his heart by this look, stabilized his mind, he looked at this son who he had cultivated for many years with a calm face, he grew up, knew how to forbear, and learned to use strength to fight for what he wanted. His wings are gradually fuller, and he is no longer as respectful to himself as before. If he agrees to a hungry wolf that has been raised, although he still has affection for his master, he may not know when he will bite his master because he satisfies his appetite.
"Old Seventeen, you know in your heart how much I have paid for this position, and you should also understand what all the princes of the Vain Dynasty will sacrifice for this position."
When Wei Chi Jincheng heard this, he nodded: "What my father taught me is." Therefore, Erchen sacrificed the lives of his brothers, women, and even 100,000 troops in exchange for this opportunity. Father, the power of all princes is no longer afraid, is the father still worried? β
Of course, Yu Chi Longcheng understood what Yu Chi Jincheng was thinking, and he also knew that once he didn't give him what he wanted, then the next unlucky one must be himself. However, he is not afraid, it is useless that he still has a trump card. What we need to do now is to stabilize this son, and only in this way can he lose his guard.
"Son, my father asks you: Have you really removed all threats to your throne? Are you sure you haven't left a single one? Yu Chi Longcheng squinted slightly and looked at the young man in front of him.
Wei Chi Jincheng was puzzled: "The ones who will threaten the throne of the sons are not those brothers?" The third brother and the seventh brother are already dead, and although the fourteenth brother faked his death, he was seriously injured by his sons, and there is nothing to fear. The threat from the north has been removed, what my father said, is there anyone else who can threaten the status of his son? β
"Child, in this war for succession, think about it carefully, besides these brothers of yours, who else will threaten you?" Yu Chi Longcheng still inspires him unrelentingly, and in his opinion, Yu Chi Jincheng's suspicion can help him buy more time.
Wei Chi Jincheng frowned slightly, his father should have meant that he had secretly discovered some other people or forces that might threaten his position. In terms of martial arts, if it is said that there are few people in the world who can compete with his lieutenant Chi Jincheng. Although Jiuzun is counted as one, he only has strength in his heart, and has no intention of being the king, as long as he gives him enough money in the future, it is not difficult to let him defect, or to include him in his command.
So, who else would threaten him?
Could it be them?!
Yu Chi Jincheng thought about it again and again, and finally his pupils constricted, and a face that was very similar to himself appeared in his mind.
"Father, what you are talking about, are you the child's stand-ins?" Yu Chi Jincheng looked at Yu Chi Longcheng, Li Yi and the others were indeed a problem. They have grown up with him since childhood, and they know every move and every habit of him. Although Li Er, who was most similar to himself, died, those three people had to be guarded against!
Yu Chi Longcheng didn't speak, just looked at him, this kid really trusted Huang Minlong to a certain extent.
Seeing that his father didn't answer, Wei Chi Jincheng frowned slightly: "Father, isn't it them?" β
"They're your stand-in, but they're also your life! You treat them as if they were a mustard, which is their sorrow and your blessing. The real threat to your position is not someone else, but the power you have always relied on! β
Seeing that he didn't realize it, Yu Chilong simply opened his mouth to mention: "General Huang Minlong has always been the person you trust the most, and he is also a force behind what you think is the back. But child, have you ever thought that the Qiufeng Building behind the third child, the Ruoshui Pavilion behind the seventh child, and the Qingfeng Hall behind the fourteenth, they all have enough fetters as conditions to restrain the people inside. And you, Wei Chi Jincheng, what do you have? β
Seeing that his body trembled slightly, Yu Chi Longcheng knew that his words had an effect, so he opened his mouth and said: "He Huang Minlong has nothing to do with you from beginning to end, he just fell in love with you when he was a child, brought you into the army for training, and gave you a skill." But child, have you ever thought about it, why did he do this to you? You are not related to him, is it true that he just saw that your father did not hurt and your mother did not love you, so he pitied you? β
Speaking of this, Yu Chi Longcheng froze, he believed that Yu Chi Jincheng had understood his words.
Sure enough, Yu Chi Jincheng's face changed wonderfully. Why didn't he think before, in fact, when it comes to the forces behind him, he is the strongest, and he is the most dangerous!
Behind those brothers is only the forces of the rivers and lakes, once the brothers fall, then those people have nothing to fear, and may even go to find a new master. But what about him? The terrifying Huang Jiajun of the entire Vain Dynasty! The name of the tens of thousands of people who were given was Huang, not his seventeenth master, Wei Chi Jincheng!
The Huang family and the royal family are one word apart, but they are far from each other. Huang Minlong has no children and no daughters, so he trusts him very much, thinking that he will not hide anything from him, but simply wants to help him and find a more stable backer for himself. However, he never thought that over the years, he might be more of a pawn of his Huang Minlong!
He listened to him and went to practice the Yang Jue, and he had not touched any woman so far. He obeyed him and secretly ordered all the forces of the other brothers to be thoroughly investigated, and he knew their movements well. He listened to his words, and used 100,000 people and his most trusted brother as bait, and added a blood debt for no reason, but in the end, it was he Huang Minlong, not his lieutenant Chi Jincheng, who repelled the northern barbarians!
Yes, maybe in this game of winning the heir, he Huang Minlong is the biggest winner! He just did what a general should do, but in the end, he was a puppet emperor who took the real power of the Dynasty in his own hands!
When Wei Chi Jincheng thought of this, sweat was already covering his forehead. He sat back unconsciously, thinking about it carefully, he was terrified, he actually ignored this person who had been secretly taking care of him! Perhaps, he is the most dangerous existence!
Yu Chi Longcheng observed the state of the young man opposite and knew that his words had an effect. He is indeed easy to be instigated and guided. This was discovered when he was six years old. Since then, this child has left a deep imprint in his heart: only strength is absolute, and whoever can give him strength and achieve his goal is the person he trusts the most!
Even after becoming an adult, he has experienced so many things, but he still can't change those naΓ―ve thoughts in his heart. Wei Chi Jincheng, his psychology is still stuck at the age of six, the child who did not hesitate to let himself be stained with blood and crawl in the sea of corpses and blood in order to please his mother!
All he wants is a look from his parents, a compliment, and this throne is just a final form of reward.
sighed secretly in his heart, but Yu Chi Longcheng didn't show it. He just quietly looked at Yu Chi Jincheng to see what this kid was going to do.
"Father, thank you for your father's suggestion, your words, your sons remember!" At the end, Wei Chi Jincheng adjusted his emotions and got up to salute him, "Erchen will go back and think carefully about the next action, and he will definitely not disappoint his father." β
When Yu Chi Longcheng heard this, he just nodded with a smile: "Since my son has this awareness, then my father will be at ease." Don't worry, when you get rid of all threats, your father will naturally give you a chance to reappear in front of the world. At that time, the father will also issue an edict in a dignified manner, declaring the seventeenth prince to be the crown prince of the Vain Dynasty! β
Seeing Yu Chi Longcheng so assured, Yu Chi Jincheng felt a little relieved. Although he did not get the edict of the crown prince as expected, he found a new goal from this conversation.
Yu Chi Longcheng is worthy of being the prince who stood out in the last battle for succession, and his calculations and resourcefulness are indeed higher. Wei Chi Jincheng felt that the best way was to let him issue an edict and inherit the unification in his own name. Since Yu Chi Longcheng proposed a new threat, then he could do it, and at the same time, he also had to kill the other princes, although they were not crowned kings, but they also had the same threat.
Even though he is inferior to Yu Chi Longcheng and Huang Minlong in terms of calculation, he will try every means to remove all threats. When no one in the Vain Dynasty has the qualifications to inherit the unification, then this throne can only be his!
Thinking of this, he bowed again, and then quietly withdrew.
When he completely disappeared into the imperial study, Yu Chi Longcheng waved his hand lightly, and Ding'an, who was fixed on the ground, trembled slightly, looked around with a puzzled expression, and then knelt on the ground with a "poof".
"The emperor forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean to be distracted just now! Please read it for the sake of Ding'an's young and ignorant, and let it fall lightly! β
Yu Chi Longcheng smiled slightly: "Get up, I don't blame you." It's not too early, I'm going to rest. β
Knowing that his life was saved, Ding An breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and soon the two left the imperial study.
After sending the little eunuch away, Yu Chi Longcheng sat on the bed, looked at the shadows in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Aiqing, after listening to the corner for a long time, is it time to come out and talk to me about my thoughts?" β
The candle shadow swayed slightly, and the figure of a man slowly emerged from the darkness. A bronze mask covered all of his face, but his posture was still vigorous.
"Your Majesty, your trick is really wonderful!"
Hearing this, Yu Chi Longcheng smiled slightly: "Don't pat yourself on the back!" You didn't teach me yet! β
The man was noncommittal, but just asked: "So, the minister dares to ask Your Majesty, do you really plan to let the girl do this next?" β
Yu Chi Longcheng raised his eyebrows: "What, you questioned my previous decision?" β
The man shook his head: "Don't dare!" The minister just thought, maybe let him recover his memory, for the emperor, better! β
