In Guang Tian Wang's Mansion, in the main hall of the inner residence, Guang Ling Gong and Gou Yue are having a discussion. The topic of discussion is nothing more than the recruitment of the Ghost City's main residence. Guang Jun 'an is also in the discussion, leaving behind a few sighs.
Suddenly, someone came to report, "Wangye, Wangfei wants to see you."
"En." Guang Ling Gong agreed and turned to Guang Jun 'an, "You can leave first."
Guang Jun 'an cupped his hands and left. When he walked to the door, he met Mei Niang in gorgeous clothes and bowed again, "Greetings, Mother!"
Even he felt sick of this greeting. A woman who was so much younger than him, he actually had to call her 'Imperial Mother'. His own mother, on the other hand, did not receive the honorific 'Imperial Mother'. This feeling was like a thorn stuck in his throat, but on the surface, he had no choice but to show respect.
Mei Niang smiled and nodded. After she came in, Guang Jun 'an left.
Mei Niang came to the hall and greeted, "Wangye." Gou Yue followed and bowed to her.
Guang Ling Gong pointed at Mei Niang and smiled bitterly at Gou Yue, "In the end, Wangfei still has a good eye for people, better than you and me."
Gou Yue was stunned. He didn't know what Mei Niang and Guang Ling Gong had said.
Mei Niang was also stunned. She didn't know what he meant. She still didn't know that the Ghost City had erected a monument to recruit people. She couldn't help but feel strange: "Is Wangye laughing at this concubine?"
Seeing the two were confused, Guang Ling Gong turned to Gou Yue and said, "Tell Wangfei about the Ghost City."
"Yes!" After Gou Yue understands what he's referring to, he immediately tells him the details of the Ghost City's recruitment stele.
After listening, Mei Niang was still confused. She thought for a while and said suspiciously, "Only the Mountain God and the Land God? Isn't it a bet to recruit the elites of the four armies? "
"I just praised you and now you're confused?" Guang Ling Gong chuckled, "There are many cultivators among the Mountain God and the Land God."
"Oh!" Mei Niang suddenly realized, "I understand, it refers to those cultivators who are excluded."
On this point, once it was pointed out, she realized it faster than Haoze. This made Guang Ling Gong shake his head and sigh. He instructed Gou Yue, "If you have the time, you should urge the Guang family's disciples to put down their status and background and interact more with the people at the bottom."
Gou Yue understood his intentions. It was not that Haoze and the rest were not as smart as Mei Niang. On the contrary, they were smarter than Mei Niang. However, in some aspects, she was even inferior to a woman like Mei Niang. She nodded and said, "Yes!"
Mei Niang didn't know what Guang Ling Gong was talking about, but since it involved the descendants of the Kou Clan, it wasn't good for her to ask too much. This was also the difficult thing for her as the 'Imperial Mother'. Moreover, she was more concerned about Niu Youde. He probed, "Could it be that Your Highness will sit and watch the bet fail and not think of a way to stop it?"
"I want to stop him, but I can't …" Just like what Hao Defang said to Haoze, the Duke of Guang Ling explained the difficulty.
Although Mei Niang appreciates Niu Youde very much, she still thinks from the perspective of Guang Ling Gong at this time, "In that case, why doesn't Wangye put the elites of the Mountain Deities and the Land Deities in an important position so that they can be prevented from joining the Ghost City?"
Lord Guang sighed softly, "This is difficult! Let's not talk about the fact that this will give Lord Qing something to use against us for 'stopping the recruitment'. If we really do that, it is bound to have an impact on the current structure of the Western Army. "
Mei Niang was surprised, "How is that possible? How can some unknown people at the bottom of the hierarchy have an impact on the existing structure of the Western Army?"
Lord Guang Ling shook his head, "What do you mean by faction? It referred to people who were all on the same side. For example, although this king doesn't directly manage the generals, they are all managed by the subordinates of this king's subordinates. There are so many generals in the Western Army that this king can't manage all of them personally, so I need the subordinates of the subordinates to manage them one by one. Every level has their own demands, and the superiors have to protect the interests of the subordinates to a certain extent. For example, if it involves the interests of the marshals, this king will fight for them. If this king can't protect the interests of the marshals, this king will have to fight for them. If I can't protect the interests of the Marshals below me, do you think that those Marshals will still listen to me? If I can't protect the interests of the Marshals below me, the principle is the same as pushing those people out of the circle of interests below me, and they are not tolerated by this faction. If I rashly use a few people, I will have to provide a large number of positions for those people, which means that a large number of people below me will have to give up their positions to them. Will the people below me agree? It may be easy to handle with a small number of people, as the people below me won't dare to not give me face, but if the number of people involved is too large, the people below me won't cooperate. The people below them would not cooperate. Could it be that they would watch helplessly as those who had been ostracized rose up to take revenge on them? And if I want to confirm who might go to the Ghost City, I also need the people below me to verify in their respective jurisdictions. Is it possible for me to check them one by one? When it involves my own interests and my own life, will the people below me cooperate? They only know how to deceive the superiors and the subordinates, and it is impossible for them to hand over the real name list. They can't even wait for those people to hurry and go to the Ghost City to seek refuge. For the people below, they feel that whether those people go to the Ghost City or not has no effect on them. In their opinion, what does the bet above have to do with them? And in this regard, their superiors can only turn a blind eye, otherwise they will lose the morale of the army and shake their control over the people below them. Dear Concubine, do you really think that because this King has a high position and power, you can do whatever you want? Governing the world is not as simple as you think. Everyone has tasted the sweetness and has their own interests, how can it be so easy to spit out what is in their mouths? It's not like the world is not settled yet, and everyone has nothing. This is the so-called 'it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to sit on it'! "
Mei Niang was silent. It can be said that she has learned a lesson today. She thought for a moment and asked, "Then can we first promise those people to not go to the Ghost City, and then deal with them after the end of the bet?"
Guang Ling Gong pointed at her, "Women's opinions, do you think those people are fools? Even the Purgatory Assessment was not able to get rid of them, they are all people with some brains. Let's not talk about whether they believe in this King's promise or not. After being suppressed for so many years, how can they not know what tricks the forces above them have? They are all people who stick together. Even if they can be promoted after the event, they still have to consider whether they can sit still. Not to mention the Western Army, even in the Imperial Guards, you pay more attention to Niu Youde. Didn't you hear that Niu Youde couldn't even enter the door when he first went to the Imperial Guards? How miserable was Zhan Ruyi when he went to the Imperial Guards? Not everyone could be as resilient as Niu Youde. At the very least, Niu Youde had brought a few trusted subordinates to help him when he joined the Imperial Guards. Those people took up their posts alone and didn't even have anyone to help them guard against thieves. The higher-ups turned a blind eye to them. Those of the same rank would play tricks in the dark and those of the lower ranks would associate with them in evil deeds. There was no one who supported them. What could they do even if they were promoted? There is no turning back, sooner or later they will be killed. After being suppressed for so many years, it would be really strange if they don't even understand this principle. "
Hearing this, Mei Niang secretly sighed and tried to come up with an idea: "Since things have reached this point, hasn't Your Highness thought of secretly sending some of your own people to join them and take the opportunity to enter the Ghost City's main government office?"
Guang Ling Gong sighed with his hands behind his back: "This is the wonderful part of Niu Youde's plan. People can't do anything about it openly and poke at the weakness and pain of the Fourth Army. Why didn't he recruit the so-called elites of the Fourth Army? The inscription on the stele said that he also climbed up from the bottom and that it is all nonsense to sympathize with the hardships of the bottom. To put it bluntly, he doesn't believe in the elites of the Fourth Army, so he only limited the recruitment of the Mountain God and the Land God. Those who have been suppressed for so many years no longer have any hope for the superiors. It can be said that the Fourth Army helped Niu Youde wash them clean. They are all ready-made and can be used. Sigh! Niu Youde picked up a bargain and picked up a big loophole, son of a b * tch! "He couldn't help but curse before he finished speaking. How unwilling was he?
Mei Niang couldn't help but frown: "It seems that even if Your Highness orders those people to be forcibly transferred out of those positions temporarily, it won't work. It involves too many people and the movement is too big. It won't be possible to hide it from Lord Qing's eyes and ears. It is bound to be used to stop the recruitment. Your Highness, it can't be denied that the people he recruited are not the elites of the Fourth Army. After all, they are some Mountain God and the Land God, so they have something to say. "
The Duke of Guang Ling chuckled. "You've hit the nail on the head. This is another vexing matter. Right now, we still can't confirm what kind of cultivations the candidates will have. Since we're going to recruit the best, I'm sure the one hundred thousand people who will be recruited in the end won't be weak. I'm just afraid that the brat will create the strongest army in the world among those of the same level.
"The strongest army in the world?" Mei Niang was shocked. She took a deep breath and her eyes flashed.
Guang Ling Gong continued: "You are a person who attended the birthday banquet. That bastard Niu Youde dared to threaten to challenge an army in front of all the ministers. When the time comes, according to what you said, the people he recruited are not the elites of the Fourth Army. That kid dared to be so arrogant when he didn't have any troops. Do you think he will be polite when he has a powerful army in his hands? Who would dare to deny that he will use force to prove it? His outstanding achievements in leading the army in battle are there for all to see. There is no doubt about his ability. Who would dare to take the risk? If they accept the challenge and are beaten into a coward by him, who will be able to face it? Who can say that the people he recruited are not the elites? The facts speak for themselves! That madman can do anything. Is it necessary for us to humiliate ourselves? " As he said this, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. "If he really recruits such a powerful army and holds such a powerful army in his hands, he will become a feudal lord who can guard the netherworld alone. There are no layers of restrictions on the top and he will have too much autonomy. If there is no accident, I am afraid that he will gradually become powerful!"
Mei Niang asked anxiously, "If he can really form such a powerful army, the Heavenly Palace will not have a good impression of Niu Youde. Will Lord Qing let him control that army? Will he transfer it away and replace it with someone else? "
