Chapter 67: There are times when men must not back down

Zhao Jincheng looked at the menacing little girl in front of him, listening to her aggressive questioning, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

The future successor of Jin Yucheng, the eldest son with a good reputation, has been reduced to the point of being treated as a toy and being grateful to Dade?

Since Shen Cheng's birthday banquet, in a short period of time, Zhao Jincheng's life can be described as ups and downs - to be precise, only big downs. It is also thanks to his tenacious spirit comparable to the blue bricks of the city wall that he was able to persevere all the way without completely collapsing.

But even so, there is not much difference between him and a complete collapse.

When Zhao Hongwu and others staged a coup d'Γ©tat, he was placed under house arrest because of his relationship with Zhao Shenlu's sister and brother. During that time, no matter how the outside world was stormy, Zhao Jincheng always believed that his sister would be able to get out of trouble in time and set things right.

However, in the end, Zhao Shenlu did get out of trouble, but he did not set things right as people expected, but issued an earth-shattering resignation declaration, abandoning the entire Golden Jade City.

Naturally, it also includes him, the eldest prince of Jinyu City.

This courtyard was used by Zhao Hongwu to put him under house arrest during the previous coup, and later Zhao Shenlu broke out, and Zhao Hongwu's supporters immediately dispersed, and the monks who guarded the courtyard also dispersed. But Zhao Jincheng did not leave.

Because he has nowhere else to go.

Before the coup d'Γ©tat, as the eldest son of Jinyu, Zhao Jincheng had always lived in the city lord's mansion, living next to his sister. But now, he didn't want to go near the City Lord's Mansion anymore no matter what.

Although there was his closest sister there, this dearest sister completely forgot the existence of her younger brother after she got out of trouble, and Zhao Jincheng still lives in this courtyard under house arrest, so ......

"So do you want to stand up like a man, or do you want to hold grudges in this yard like a lover sister's nest?"

How could Qian Yue have time to understand the delicate feelings of Zhao Jincheng, an older virgin, and unceremoniously persecuted: "Time waits for no one, you are coming forward now, just stepping on the lower limit of Zhao Hongwu, Zhao Hongxue and others showing each other, people's hearts are lost, and there is no perfect time for new competitors to appear, after all, you are the successor cultivated by Zhao Shenlu, and the people's impression of you is still there." After a few more days of brewing, when Zhao Shenlu really left Jinyu City, such a big city, people who are not willing to be lonely will inevitably jump out and make waves, those people are either already in Jinyu City with a popular foundation, or they are agents pushed out by other forces, and they have huge resources behind them, and you will have no advantage at all! ”

When Zhao Jincheng heard this, he nodded secretly, knowing that Qian Yue's analysis was correct.

It's a good time.

The patriarchs of Jinyu City self-destructed the Great Wall, and completely destroyed their already precarious image in the hearts of Jinyu people with one lower limit performance after another.

Even in the deep courtyard, Zhao Jincheng can hear people in the streets and alleys, constantly telling how disappointed they are with the patriarchs represented by Zhao Hongwu, some radicals even want to engage in extremist movements to oppose the patriarchs coming to power, and ordinary people are also looking forward to a relatively reliable person to come forward to clean up the mess.

At this time, Zhao Jincheng, who is a representative of the Shaozhuang faction, does have the capital that everyone expects.

What's more, Zhao Shenlu was in the city at this time. If he, who is a younger brother, suddenly stands up and says that he wants to be the city lord, how many people will think that this has nothing to do with Zhao Shenlu? People will only think that Zhao Shenlu really handpicked the successor. And with Zhao Shenlu's temperament, he will definitely not clarify the misunderstanding.

So, this is indeed an excellent opportunity to ascend to the heavens and rule the Golden Jade City in one step, the only problem is ......

"Why should I go to the sky in one step?" Zhao Jincheng said, "This position is not easy to do, my father would rather be ugly than take over the position of the city lord, because they know that they can't do well, and they would rather be ugly now than be ruined in a few years, I have self-knowledge, on the wrist and talent, not to mention compared with my sister, even if it is ......"

"So you also choose Mingzhe to protect yourself?" Qian Yue interrupted, "It's not bad, the same thinking as Zhao Hongxue is worthy of being a family lineage." ”

After speaking, Qian Yue turned around and left.

However, he didn't take two steps before he unexpectedly heard the voice of defense behind him.

"Not really." Zhao Jincheng had a little helplessness on his face, "I'm not worried about my own gains and losses, but I'm worried that because of my incompetence, I will damage the interests of millions of people in Jinyucheng......"

Qian Yue said: "You are the successor cultivated by Zhao Shenlu himself, why are you so incompetent as to harm the interests of millions of people?" If you don't have enough ability, go learn and practice, and practice until your ability is enough, otherwise do you want to expect a valley hero to pass on your skills to become an immortal overnight! ”

Zhao Jincheng said: "This is indeed reasonable, but I really don't have the courage to practice the fate of millions of people......

Speaking of which, Qian Yue was also a little annoyed.

This man's face is as square as a knife and an axe, but his temperament is as smelly and soft as a dung ball, and it is a waste of time to turn over and over a question that is not clear.

To support such a person to come to power, it is better for her to disguise herself as the illegitimate daughter left by Zhao Shenlu in Qingyun Qian's family to take the stage and succeed to the throne, anyway, after the public trial meeting, Zhao Shenlu's private life is already a network full of holes, and the content in the middle is for others to play. Second, Qian Yue's research on Jinyucheng is also quite profound, and he has enough confidence to govern Jinyucheng well......

Thinking of this, Qian Yue lost more and more interest in continuing to persuade Zhao Jincheng to come to power.

If you don't want to do it, I'll do it myself.

"Well, since you've made up your mind, I won't persuade you much. We'll have an indefinite future. ”

After speaking, Qian Yue turned around and left, and when he took a step, he had already begun to reconstruct a new action plan in his mind.

If she comes forward to run for the position of Jinyu City Lord in person, there are many details that must be added quickly, such as how to hold a sensational feast to celebrate after becoming the city lord, Mr. Wang Jiu must be invited to the banquet, and then Shen Qingming, who is always glued to the side, must be included in the forbidden list of Jinyu City.

For another example, to actively strive for political support, Jinyucheng is always an away game, and the home game must be Qingyun City. In Qingyun City, what the Qian family can do is actually limited, the key is to win the support of the Li family, which is listed as one of the seven great families with the Zhao family.

That is to say, if you want to find a way to curry favor with Lu Xin, if you can successfully become the city lord, you can communicate with Lu Xin on an equal footing, and you might as well organize a few tea parties......

"Tea party?"

Zhao Jincheng's voice behind him surprised Qian Yue again, he did have a small problem of silently reciting when he used his brain with all his might, but he didn't expect to be heard by that square-faced waste.

But when I hear it, I hear it, and it has nothing to do with him.

So Qian Yue didn't look back, and continued to walk forward......

"Please stay!" Behind him, Zhao Jincheng said, "I am willing to stand up and compete for the throne of the city lord." ”

Hearing this, Qian Yue also had to turn around, revealing a disgusted expression: "It's up to you?" ”

"It is true that I am not capable and my level is limited, but I have a sincere and fiery heart, and I am willing to dedicate everything to the Golden Jade City, and my ability and level can always continue to improve in practice, which is thousands of times stronger than those elders who are wise enough to protect themselves!"

"Take two million people from Golden Jade City to practice, do you have that courage?"

"It's a big deal to be crushed to thank the world!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What exactly do you want to do? ”

Zhao Jincheng's square face violently exuded an aura of integrity: "I just want to contribute my strength to Jinyucheng!" ”

Qian Yue frowned: "I seem to smell the smell of estrus." ”

Zhao Jincheng said: "I love Jinyucheng, whenever I think that I can contribute to Jinyucheng, I can't help it!" I also promise that I will work hard like a beast in estrus to make up for the lack of talent! Please believe in me and support me to become the Lord of Golden Jade City! ”

Qian Yue looked Zhao Jincheng up and down for a long time: "Then you have to promise me a few conditions......

β€”β€”

At noon that day, there was heavy news in Jinyu City.

Zhao Shenlu's younger brother, Zhao Jincheng announced that he would run for the position of city lord.

This news swept through the city like a storm, supporting Zhao Hongwu, supporting Zhao Hongxue, and hanging these two ugly things at the city gate...... All those who paid attention to the ownership of the city lord quickly focused their eyes on the boxy, brick-like face.

Running for the position of lord of the city? At this time?

When Zhao Hongxue and Zhao Hongwu did not hesitate to harm themselves in order to shirk their positions, and even involved their families, someone actually took the initiative to grab this hot potato?

Now, after the wonderful performances of Zhao Hongwu and Zhao Hongxue, Jin Yuren has gradually understood how difficult it is to sit in this position, and why people who were originally eager for this position will avoid it.

Therefore, this person who suddenly stood up and said that he would bear everything, was like a savior, shining brightly.

Of course, this light is not only the credit of Zhao Jincheng alone, after he issued a declaration, the streets and alleys of Jinyucheng began to spread all kinds of echoing voices.

Some are storytellers in the teahouse, who began to tell about the glamorous past history of the eldest prince of Jinyucheng, and some magazines and newspapers began to publish articles to demonstrate the benefits of Zhao Jincheng taking over as the city lord, and some people boldly speculated that all this was done by Zhao Shenlu himself, and the ugly performances of the previous two elders were all to hit the prestige of traditional interest groups and pave the way for her real favorite successor...... And with Zhao Shenlu's consistent style, if you really want to do something, just do it directly, why care about what others say. Her willingness to work tirelessly to do such a bureau this time is really commendable, so everyone had better cherish the opportunity and not be embarrassed.

It seems that within half a day, there is a unified voice from top to bottom of Jinyu City, supporting Zhao Jincheng as the city lord.

And after learning all this, Zhao Shenlu just smiled.

"It's getting more and more like a business girl."
