Can I become the Yu-Gi-Oh by summoning the Flame Swordsman?

Qin Zhen led Bai Chu to a study room, ordered the eunuch to light incense, sat on the highest seat in the hall, and invited Bai Chu to sit down. Qin Liu sat below Bai Chu and called a palace maid to pour tea for the two of them.

"What is your name, sir?" Qin Zhen asked softly.

Bai Chu replied: "My name is Bai Chu, Your Majesty. I am not from this world. I came here from another world to protect you."

"If you came to protect me, why did you kill my trusted man and sneak into the palace under his identity?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you." Bai Chu's eyes gradually became sharp. "Your Majesty, you know that Xian, this dog slave, often abuses your power to bully others, persecute loyal people, and ruin your reputation. I will get rid of him for you, which is actually to save your reputation in history books.

What I want to say is, Your Majesty, when you give your power to your servants, you should probably supervise them. Aren't you afraid that they will use the power you give them to do something bad to you behind your back?"

"Brother Bai, what do you mean by Xi'an killing loyal people?"

"Xi'an has seized the property and houses of Zhang Zhu, the Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor has worked hard for the Great Guang Kingdom since his ancestors, and fought in the battlefields to gain his current status and honor. How can Xi'an, a foreign eunuch, be qualified to act presumptuously? What contribution has he made to the Great Guang Kingdom?"

"Brother Bai, I'm afraid you misunderstood. The reason why Xian did this was actually because of my instructions."

Bai Chu was startled: "What?"

“Zhang Zhu’s father was an old official of the previous dynasty. After my ancestors succeeded in the uprising, he has enjoyed the honor of hereditary nobility for decades. The rewards and rewards given to him by my Qin family are no less than that.

However, my father passed away ten years ago and appointed Zhang Zhu and Yang Qi to assist me in governing the country. After ten years, the government has been filled with their followers. Now that I am old enough to take charge of government affairs myself, I am hindered by them everywhere. Do you think I should do this?"

"So, Xian was actually ordered by you to go and warn Zhang Zhu?" At this moment, Bai Chu already understood a lot.

No wonder Zhang Zhu could only nod and bow in the face of Xi'an's oppression, not daring to have any second thoughts. It was not that Zhang Zhu was afraid of the eunuch Xi'an. If Zhang Zhu dared to go against Xi'an, he would be disobeying the king. Once Qin Zhen caught him, all Zhang Zhu's family property would be lost.

By analogy, as a military figure, Bai Chu believed that Zhang Zhu, who possessed certain military power, should be able to threaten the king to a certain extent, but now it seemed that this idea was rather naive.

Zhang Zhu has a biggest enemy in the court, and that is Yang Qi, who has the same status as him. They are both in a position above everyone else. If he wants to gain more power, the other party must fall to threaten the position of the king above.

If Yang Qi rebels, the king and Zhang Zhu will be allies. On the contrary, if Zhang Zhu has other intentions, the king and Yang Qi will join forces. The king may be young and not as powerful as the two, but any two parties together will be greater than a third party. Therefore, the king is relatively safe in this gap and can erode the power of the two little by little.

Similarly, if Yang Qi wanted to take action, the enemy he had to eliminate first was actually Zhang Zhu, who was of equal status. If he defeated Zhang Zhu, the king would be just a dessert for him.

This is the primitive jungle of human society, where everyone is your friend and everyone is your enemy. Your position in this jungle will determine how many people want you dead.

"But, Your Majesty," Bai Chu continued, "According to what you said, the more balanced the power between Zhang Zhu and Yang Qi is, the safer you will be.

But in my opinion, the power between Zhang Zhu and Yang Qi has begun to become unbalanced. Yang Qi intends to let someone else replace you, while Zhang Zhu stands on your side. "

"Hahaha, of course Assistant Zhang will choose me." Qin Zhen suddenly laughed confidently, "Yang Qi is the initiator and planner of the plan. Think about it, if Assistant Zhang assists Yang Qi, can he have an equal status with Yang Qi after Yang Qi's plan? No.

After Yang Qi's plan succeeds, Zhang Zhu will move from being tied for second place to third place, or even fourth or fifth place, and Yang Qi, who will benefit, will leap to second place, or even surpass second place. Zhang Zhu will not and cannot support Yang Qi.

If you want to use this to explain Zhang Zhu's loyalty to me, then you are still too naive. According to my understanding, Zhang Zhu privately kept eunuchs in his own home, and owning eunuchs is the exclusive right of the imperial family. What is his intention in secretly imitating me? "

"Some eunuchs...castrated themselves and then went to Zhang's mansion."

“Even if that were the case, it would not be allowed, the position I sit in is unique, so every aspect of my life must be unique and inimitable.

Today he has tasted the sweetness of having private slaves, tomorrow he wants to taste the sweetness of having three thousand beauties in the harem and ten thousand palaces, and the day after tomorrow he wants to taste the sweetness of having everyone wanting him to submit. Nothing can be compromised, there must be a strict hierarchy between him and me, so that I can hold my position firmly."

Bai Chu was shocked. This was a king who was obsessed with power and was sharing his experience in playing power and playing tricks with him. However, Bai Chu lived in a world where everyone was equal, so he didn't really care about these things. Bai Chu just wanted to complete his game and leave this dark and turbulent time and space.

"Then, while you're suppressing Zhang Zu, Your Majesty, you'd better pay more attention to Yang Qi's every move."

"Hahahaha, old man Yang Qi is just like a grasshopper after autumn. I have secretly collected evidence on Yang Qi's son and am sending people to capture his son. Once I get this trump card, I am not afraid that he will not die."

Bai Chu took a deep breath. The man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, was worthy of being a man who grew up in an imperial family. He was simply a natural conspirator. It was better to stay away from such a man.

"It seems that you can control the court even without my help." Bai Chu nodded. "Then, the only threat to you is the civil uprising in Fuhai.

Well, Your Majesty, I will say what I said before. I want you to appoint Xi'an as the eunuch commander-in-chief, and let me play the role of Xi'an and go to the Fuhai area to see if we can avoid war and the loss of lives."

Qin Zhen nodded: "Since Brother Bai is thinking about me and helping me solve my problems, that is of course great. I will grant you the power of life and death, and the iron certificate to command the local court to cooperate with you. The southern patrol army will set out next week, Brother Bai can go back and prepare well."

"No, that's not necessary," Bai Chu stood up and prepared to leave. "I've always been a loner and like to be alone. Your Majesty, I plan to leave for Fuhai tomorrow."

"Well, Brother Bai, I will order someone to prepare the transportation and travel expenses now. You will be waiting for me at the city gate tomorrow. I will arrange accommodation for you in the palace, and you can leave tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I know that a real man cannot live in the palace, and I don't want to break this rule." Bai Chu smiled and declined. "I'll take my leave first."
