Chapter 219 Controlling People’s Hearts
Da Zhou Exchange Group.

Beggar Clan Leader: The cooperation between the Federation and the Great Zhou should be a done deal, right? Everyone's heard the news, right? Do you have any plans? We must make good use of this life and find a good way out!

The Number One Swordsman of the South: What suggestions do you have?
Border Town Eagle: Let's get straight to the point. Right now, the only people here besides that incredibly lucky Prince Jing and those two nouveau riche from small places are either from major clans or scions of aristocratic families. Everyone knows who they are. There's no need to be mysterious.

Beggars' Sect Leader: Hehe, it's not really advice, just discussion and mutual improvement! I heard a saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty: "A dynasty lasts a hundred years, a family lasts a thousand years!" Although it's not quite the same as our Federation, the principle is similar. Even in the Federation, how can there be no powerful families?

Beggar Clan Leader: In my opinion, instead of currying favor with the Great Zhou court, we should try to get help from the powerful families of Great Zhou. Living under someone else's roof is not as good as being the boss ourselves.

Poor for two lifetimes: What? You want to rebel?
Beggar Clan Leader: I wouldn't call it a rebellion, I don't have the time for that. But I have carefully studied the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, it is an ancient period, a backward feudal society. There are many regional warlords and military governors in various places. Although these forces nominally obey the court, they actually govern themselves and control both the military and the government, just like local emperors.

The Beggars' Sect Leader: If we get help from aristocratic families, we might be able to become local tyrants ourselves. Even if we can't become local tyrants, joining an aristocratic family would be much easier and more worthwhile than entering the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The First Sword of the South: Brother Leader, you are truly frank. Since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore. I have now joined the Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan. Although we are not a prominent family, we are a deeply rooted and long-standing force in the martial arts world. We are detached from worldly affairs, but our influence is in no way inferior to that of aristocratic families.

The First Sword of the South: There are quite a few similar martial arts sects and forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This serves as a reminder to everyone and provides another way out.

Border Eagle: That's true, but in the end, it's all a second-best option. The Federation will only align with the Great Zhou. This is a matter of principle and stance. If you want to get the greatest benefit, you have to join the Imperial Court!
Border Town Eagle: You are all respectable people, are you willing to let a lowly person from a remote rural area of ​​a planet ride on your heads?
Those who were paying attention to the Da Zhou chat group fell silent for a while.

Speculating on the identity of this "Flying Eagle of the Border Town," he is probably a scion of a powerful and influential family, otherwise he wouldn't say such a thing.

Although many of the active people in the group didn't really care about that guy who was born into a good family, they wouldn't openly show it.

After all, judging from recent rumors, this kid isn't just lucky; he does have some skill.

In addition, he was born into a good family and has this kind of identity, so he will probably encounter it again in the future.

Be a man to stay on the line and meet each other in the future.

There's no need to make enemies out of thin air.

Beggars' Sect Leader: No matter what, having the imperial court's backing certainly makes things much easier.

Beggars' Sect Leader: Does anyone know that Prince Jing? He does have the title of a prince, after all. If he's willing to cooperate and help us get some favors from the court, things will be much easier.

Having been poor for two lifetimes: I did take a look from afar, and don't say I didn't warn you, this guy is no pushover, you'd better not try to take advantage of him.

Border Eagle: Hmph, I really don't believe it. It's only here that his name will still come out of my mouth. Back in the Federation, I should be honored to even see him!

Having known him for two lifetimes: Haha, I've finally seen what a fool is. This guy is trying to act like a scion of a noble family. If he were a scion of a noble family, wouldn't those families have been killed by his stupidity long ago?

Border Town Eagle: What did you say? Dare to reveal your identity!
We've been together for two lifetimes: Do you think I'm as stupid as you?

Border Town Eagle: I...%￥!
I'm not a dog, I'm the Lion King: @FlyingEagleofBordertown I slap you &……%！ ……#%！

……

The group chat was quickly filled with arguments.

Ziwei Palace, a corner of the tall city wall.

Chen Lingguan, the lapdog, hid in a dog hole he had painstakingly dug.

Of course, the walls of the Ziwei Palace are too thick and too solid.

He spent a lot of effort and a long time digging out a small hole just big enough for him to crawl through.

Thinking you can escape the palace by digging a tunnel is probably just a pipe dream, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Now he has also learned to find joy in hardship.

This cave was his refuge from that terrible woman, the eldest princess.

Hiding here every day, lurking online and spying on groups, is my greatest joy.

He only recently joined this Da Zhou chat group.

Unexpectedly, I spotted a slut in the group today, and she seized the opportunity to unleash a symphony of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Being turned into an animal and locked up in this deep palace is driving me crazy.

Having a slut to vent his frustrations is the ultimate pleasure.

Ok?
Who is that?
Sneaking around like this late at night, daring to sneak into the Forbidden City?

Although Chen Lingguan was reincarnated as an animal, he was still an animal in the palace!
They consider themselves superior to everyone else!
They still have a strong sense of ownership.

If someone dares to break into your "home", that would be unacceptable.

He immediately abandoned Biancheng Feiying, that shrew, and quietly slipped into the bushes to follow.

"Quickly, go and report to the Grand Secretary. The eunuch has already escorted the person out of the Northern Office and onto the Immortal Abode Palace."

Chen Lingguan squatted in the corner and saw a little eunuch sneaking up to the foot of the city wall. It seemed that someone outside responded.

Grand Secretary? Eunuch? Immortal Abode Palace?

What is this for?
Having spent so long in the palace, Chen Lingguan had learned quite a bit.

Xianju Hall was formerly a place for the Li Tang imperial family to pray for blessings and practice alchemy. However, due to the current emperor's devotion to Buddhism, it has been abandoned for over a hundred years, and apart from the palace servants who clean it, no one goes there regularly.

What are Grand Secretaries and Eunuchs doing there?

Chen Lingguan's eyes darted around, and he took off running with his four short legs.

Once you reach a high vantage point, you can see outside through the palace walls.

By the light of the lamps in front of the palace walls, one could vaguely see several people standing in the shadows not far away outside the walls.

A guard hurried up to the group and reported something.

It looks like the person who was communicating with the little eunuch earlier.

Who is that?

Chen Lingguan stared wide-eyed, trying hard to see clearly.

Fortunately, he possessed some spiritual cultivation, and there was a faint light from outside the wall. Although he couldn't see people clearly, he could make out some outlines.

That figure... why does it look so familiar?

I wouldn't have any acquaintances in Da Zhou...

No... Xie Lingxin!?
Why is he here? !
Although it was just an outline, he was all too familiar with this nightmare-like figure that seemed to be constantly weighing on his head.

Even if he were reduced to ashes, I would still recognize him!
Chen Lingguan never expected that in his desperation, he sent many embarrassing SOS messages that made him feel ashamed afterwards, but he received no response whatsoever.

It's unbelievable that I saw it at this time and in this place.

What is he doing here?
Grand Secretary?
Are the three people beside him Grand Secretaries of the Imperial Court?
Chen Lingguan felt a little uneasy.

While I'm still being treated like a pet in the palace, he's sitting on equal footing with the Grand Secretary of the court, seemingly plotting something.

……

Outside the city wall.

"Your Highness, in the past few days, as Your Highness instructed, Grand Secretary Shu and I have transferred most of Wang Shoucheng's trusted generals in the Shence Army out of the capital,"

"We shouldn't touch the rest, otherwise it might alert the old thief."

As Li Xun spoke, he kept an eye on the incredibly young Prince Jing in front of him.

A few days ago, at the invitation of Song Shenxi, he and Shu Yuanyu and others went to see this man, partly out of respect for Song Shenxi.

Secondly, the decentralization of power to Wang Shoucheng was, in a way, a way of giving him face and returning the favor.

Otherwise, as a young man with no position or power, he wouldn't be qualified to meet them.

Who would have thought that this young man could stun them with just a few words?

This person seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he pointed out the deepest ambitions hidden in their hearts.

It was under this deterrent effect, and with shared goals, that they decided to cooperate with them.

In the past few days, they have also witnessed the methods of this Prince Jing.

It was as if he knew everything; every move he made was perfectly timed, striking at Wang Shoucheng's vitals.

He made everything proceed according to his will without anyone realizing it.

Just like when we first met, this young man seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, know everything about everyone, and know the weaknesses in everyone's heart.

Coupled with the power they wielded, they easily accomplished what they wanted to do but couldn't.

If nothing unexpected happens tonight, that eunuch Wang Shoucheng is probably doomed!

Without realizing it, he had developed a certain respect for this young man.

A few days ago, he dismissed the rumors circulating in the capital that this was a wise and valiant king who had been lying low for many years.

Now... it seems the rumors are not only true, but they also greatly underestimate this "wise king".

Xie Lingxin noticed the strange and cautious looks from the people in front of her.

They knew that their arrangements, made based on their knowledge of "history," had surprised them.

Although this Great Zhou Dynasty is completely different from "history", some people and some major trends have not changed.

With this information, he can "control people's hearts".

Once you have the power to win people's hearts, many things become easier.

But the impact... seems a bit excessive.

Even Song Shenxi, who knows him best, is now a little cautious in front of him.

"Hopefully Zheng Zhu's 'arrangements' will not go wrong, otherwise a fierce battle is inevitable tonight."

Xie Lingxin looked towards the palace.

Zheng Zhu's "arrangements" are key to tonight's execution of Wang Shoucheng.

If something goes wrong, they will be facing a master of innate level, a powerful expert with a title!
Although Qiu Shiliang also possesses title-level strength, he is still quite far behind Wang Shoucheng.

Even with Zheng's annotations, there's no guarantee of a 100% chance of winning.

That's why they had no choice but to risk appearing outside the palace walls.

It's to prevent any unexpected events from happening.

……

High up in the palace.

Chen Lingguan was extremely anxious.

What are you saying? Can't you speak louder?
Xianju Palace?
His eyes rolled.

Since he couldn't hear it, he simply turned around and sprinted towards the east side of the Ziwei Palace.

After passing the central axis of Ziwei City, and continuing eastward for about a mile, you will reach Xianju Palace.

There are few people here.

Chen Lingguan easily found his target.

Wang Shoucheng?!

This is the most powerful eunuch in the palace!
