Hearing this, Shang Chaozong was puzzled. He did not know what Lan Ruoting meant. How could he miss such a good opportunity to control Yan?
If it wasn't for the fact that he trusted Lan Ruoting, he might have suspected which side Lan Ruoting was on.
Niu Youdao was also surprised. He replied, "Mister Lan's words must be true. Can you enlighten me?"
"I dare not!" Lan Ruoting cupped his hands and bowed. He then turned to Shang Chaozong and said, "Your Highness, as Master Daoist said, the war is imminent. If the Prince ascends to the throne now, his status will rise. How can the Prince's subordinates not be promoted? Will the Prince's subordinates recognize other forces as their superiors? How can the Prince's subordinates be satisfied? If they are promoted now, how will the other forces in Yan see it? How will they choose to be promoted or demoted? "
"How can we satisfy everyone? If we can't satisfy everyone now, the war will be imminent. It will be easy for the enemy to take advantage of us! "
"Prince, now that he is the Emperor, how to combine the old and new forces will be a big problem! Once we agree on the surface but oppose each other in secret, it will be detrimental to the war! "
"At this time, ascending the throne or not is not the key. The key is to control the power of Yan."
"I think it is not the right time to be the Emperor. Why not temporarily take control of the military and political power? You can call yourself the Prince Regent!"
"With a foothold as the Queen Regent, you can advance and retreat freely. You can temporarily stabilize the current situation. Not only can you follow the orders of the Emperor, but you can also avoid the troubles after becoming the Emperor. Some things can be declined because only the Emperor can interfere."
"With a foothold as the Queen Regent and control the power of Yan, how can the Yan people not know that the Prince ascending the throne is a matter of time? In this way, you can stabilize the hearts of the people and not hinder each other because of the power struggle. And since the new and old forces know that sooner or later the Prince will become the Yan Emperor, for the sake of their future, for the sake of glory and splendor, wealth and splendor, they must do their best in front of the Prince. The Prince still needs to give everyone a chance to fight for it. You can't make a hasty judgment. You might as well secretly show your appreciation to everyone. Everyone will be motivated to fight for it! "
"In this way, not only can we avoid trouble, but we can also use the hearts of the people. We can bring the unity of the people to prepare for war. We can exert our strength from top to bottom, and there will be no worries in managing the internal affairs of the rear. With the leeway to reward based on merit, it will also give the Prince time to slowly observe all sides, so that he will have time to slowly bring all sides together, so that hasty chaos will not lead to disaster. "
"When the overall situation is settled, it won't be too late for the Prince to make his decision, be it demotion or promotion, reward or punishment. Even if there is injustice, it will be under the control of the Prince. There is no need to worry about chaos."
"The Prince, Lan Ruoting earnestly requests the Prince to postpone his proclamation as the Emperor, and temporarily proclaim himself as the Prince Regent!"
Meng Shan Ming raised his hand and stroked his beard. He slowly nodded his head and said, "These are words from the bottom of my heart. These are the words of Lan Ruoting who is experienced in scheming for the country."
Shang Chaozong is not a person who does not know the severity of the situation. He has already analyzed the pros and cons so clearly, how can he not listen to this advice?
Besides, he is not giving up his power. He is only postponing his proclamation as the Emperor. Becoming the Prince Regent is equivalent to controlling the Yan Imperial Power. There is not much difference. He decisively said, "Fine!"
He then looked at Niu Youdao, wondering if this person has any other opinions.
Niu Youdao took another look at Lan Ruoting and realized that this kind of person is indeed the best at this kind of thing. He has learned a lot from him. He could not help but smile and said, "I have long heard of the great name of King Ning's advisor, Luo Shaofu. Today, after seeing Luo Shaofu's brilliant disciple, I finally know that Luo Shaofu's reputation is well-deserved!"
He muttered in his heart that the matter of the hundred thousand Crow Generals must have something to do with Luo Shaofu. Otherwise, why did Lan Ruoting hear the words' hundred thousand Crow Generals' from Luo Shaofu by chance? It can't be a coincidence! Luo Shaofu must have participated in the plan. He might even be the mastermind.
He can be sure that Dongguo Haoran and his gang do not have the brains. Otherwise, the Shanghai Sect will not gradually decline.
As for King Ning, he later learned that Luo Shaofu is good at fighting on the battlefield.
Looking at all the important people around King Ning, he felt that Luo Shaofu is the most suspicious.
But this attitude means that he has acknowledged Lan Ruoting's intention. Lan Ruoting immediately bowed in return, expressing his thanks for the praise on behalf of his teacher.
"Alright, that's all." Niu Youdao walked to Shang Chaozong's side and patted his shoulder, "King Ning has left you a good team! You can slowly proclaim yourself as Emperor, no need to be anxious. If I win the battle with the three Saints, it won't just be a mere Yan. The whole world will be yours! "It seems that he wants them to do a good job.
Finished speaking, he turned and left. Yun Ji nodded to the three of them and turned to follow him.
The three of them cupped their hands to send her off. After putting down their hands, they looked at each other in dismay. They did not know if Niu Youdao's words earlier were just casual words or a joke. The key is that this person has never said anything carelessly to them. It's very easy for them to overthink!
Especially Shang Chaozong, his entire person is a little dazed. The whole world will be given to me?
"Prince!" Meng Shan Ming called out and shook his head slightly, indicating that his attitude should be more reserved.
He was also reminding Shang Chaozong that Daoye is an unfathomable person. No one knows what he will do in the end. If he shows too much of himself and causes others to look down on him, it might not be a good thing. If he can give it to you, he can take it away!
Shang Chaozong came back to his senses and realized that he has indeed lost his composure. But the key is that with one big cake after another falling down, it's hard for anyone to catch it. It's hard not to lose his composure.
… …
"Where is Shizun going?"
Wu Xin asked respectfully in the Medicine Hut in the Island's Medicine Valley.
The Ghost Doctor changed her clothes and changed her appearance while sighing, "Don't ask too much. I'll be back in a few days. You guys cover up well. If anyone asks, just say that I'm making medicine in the Medicine Hut and no one is allowed to disturb me. We'll talk about everything else after I return. "
Wu Xin was worried, "Why don't we let junior brother accompany you? With junior brother's cultivation, he can take care of you."
Wu Xiang nodded, "Yes, Shizun."
This time, the Ghost Doctor was going to leave alone, which was rare. The two apprentice-brothers were really worried.
The Ghost Doctor was a little angry, "I say, can you two apprentice-brothers stop causing trouble for me? This old man is scared of you guys. Whatever I say, can you guys listen obediently? If I continue to be tormented by you guys like this, sooner or later I'll be killed by you guys! It's a blessing for others to take in disciples, but this old man acts like I owe you guys in my previous life. It's simply preposterous! "
The apprentice-brothers were embarrassed.
The Ghost Doctor instructed again, "Also, if anyone asks about the things I've instructed, just say it like this, understand?"
"Yes!" The apprentice-brothers answered in unison.
After changing her appearance, the Ghost Doctor took out a gauze hat that was exactly the same as Wu Xiang's and put it on her head. She immediately became the second Wu Xiang.
After explaining everything that needed to be said, the Ghost Doctor went out alone. She walked to the seaside, and while no one was paying attention, she directly dove into the water.
Wu Xiang, who was in the Medicine Hut, temporarily stayed inside. Otherwise, if the real and fake appeared one after another, it would be hard not to be suspicious.
After that, Wu Xin and Guo Man came out and busied themselves with whatever they had to do.
Taking advantage of the free time, Guo Man also went to the seaside. As she was gathering seafood to make food, a strange fish in the form of a demonic cultivator swam to her feet. She handed it a sealed bamboo stick. The strange fish quickly swam away after biting the stick.
She wasn't clear about the origin of the strange fish, she only knew that it was arranged by Thatched Cottage Villa. All information came and went through this strange fish.
She could also feel the immense power of Thatched Cottage Villa. No matter where she went, as long as the route was provided in advance, as long as there was a need, people would appear to contact her at any time.
… …
In a secret room in Nanzhou, Niu Youdao received Guo Man's message. Guo Man informed him that the Ghost Doctor had already set off on time.
Holding the secret letter with his hands behind his back, Niu Youdao stared at the Saint Land map with a serious expression.
And at this time, the Ghost Doctor, who had changed his appearance, had already appeared at the entrance of the Saint Land. He was perturbed and somewhat nervous.
When he saw the person who was contacting him, he was somewhat surprised. It was actually the current leader of the Devil Cult, the Left Emissary of the Devil Cult, Nantian Wufang. Only then did he know that Nantian Wufang was also one of the people secretly fighting against the Nine Saints. He had already stretched his hand right under Wu Chang's eyelids. How could he not be secretly shocked?
He was no stranger to the Devil Cult. He had a close relationship with the former Saintess of the Devil Cult.
And the people of the Devil Cult often entered the Saint Land. Not only because of Wu Chang's background, but also because the Devil Cult provided some of Wu Chang's needs for a long time.
But the person leading the team this time seemed a little special. Nantian Wufang personally led the team. Of course, it was to ensure that the Ghost Doctor could be brought in smoothly.
Nothing went wrong. The people guarding this place did not recognize all of the people of the Devil Cult. In addition, with Wu Chang's special permission, Nantian Wufang said that the Ghost Doctor was one of the people of the Devil Cult on this trip, and brought him in.
What Nantian Wufang did not know was that this time, he had indeed received special permission from Wu Chang. The guards at the entrance of the Saint Land were destined to not make things difficult for him.
Some things were within Niu Youdao's expectations. Niu Youdao expected that Wu Chang would help, so he was sure that the Ghost Doctor would be able to enter the Saint Land smoothly this time.
To a certain extent, Niu Youdao wanted to borrow Wu Chang's hand to fulfill the Fox Clan's request, and let the Ghost Doctor treat Luo Fangfei.
After entering the Saint Land, the people of the Heavenly Devil Holy Land acted as usual. They helped a group of people get flying mounts from the Imperfection Guarding Villa.
On the way, because the things they brought this time were a little heavier, while they were temporarily resting, the Ghost Doctor escaped, and someone secretly slipped in to take over.
The Ghost Doctor did not care about the rest. According to the agreement, the other things would be taken care of by others, so there was no need for him to worry.
When he reached the rendezvous point alone, there was already a flying mount waiting for him, and it directly carried him away.
The Ghost Doctor did not know where he was being brought to. He only found out the destination when he reached the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, and was somewhat surprised.
Unbeknownst to him, along the path this flying mount took, there were people popping their heads out from underground from time to time, staring at the sky. All the way to the edge of the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, there were people squatting and watching.
After entering the Underground Swamp Palace and seeing the groups of Demon Foxes, the Ghost Doctor felt a toothache. It was actually the Fox Clan? The people fighting against the Nine Saints had actually colluded with the Fox Clan?
When Patriarch Heiyun saw the Ghost Doctor, he was extremely enthusiastic. He had heard of the Ghost Doctor's great name for a long time.
When he heard that they were going to get the Ghost Doctor, he had been looking forward to it for a long time. He first brought the Ghost Doctor to take a look at the medicine that had been prepared. "Mister, quickly take a look and see if you've prepared enough. If there's anything that's not enough, we'll think of a way to buy more."
What way could he have to buy it? Didn't he still have to rely on Niu Youdao's people?
The Ghost Doctor sighed, "Don't worry about this for now. Bring me to see the patient first."
"Please, please." Heiyun nodded and bowed, completely losing the backbone of the Fox Clan Patriarch.
His complexion was also extremely haggard. He could not help but blame himself for Yin Ji's death. He had also been scolded badly by Niu Youdao in his letter after finding out about it. He had even said that he would kill him when they met. Heiyun was not afraid that he would kill him, but he was blaming himself even more.
The old Clan Patriarch was dead. If something happened to the old Clan Patriarch's daughter, he was already prepared to bang his head against the wall and die.
