i became the villain

Chapter 205 Dong Tiancheng was cornered
There is always a way out.

Dong Tiancheng, who only had three days, wanted to break his head, and finally found a solution that was not a solution.

It's not that he has found a way.

Instead, deep in Dong Tiancheng's mind, he suddenly remembered a fable he had heard before.

A person with no money and nothing wants to eat hot pot.

How can he eat hot pot?
After some thought.

This person called his first friend and said that he wanted to treat him to hot pot, but he was short of mutton, so he asked this friend to bring some mutton.

The first friend readily agreed.

This person made a second phone call to his second friend, saying that he wanted to treat him to a hot pot meal. The mutton was available, but the vegetables were missing, so he asked this friend to bring some vegetables.

The second friend also readily agreed.

This person made the third phone call and called his third friend, saying that he wanted to treat him to a hot pot meal. There was mutton and vegetables, but the shortcoming was the shabu-shabu seasoning. Let the third friend bring some shabu-shabu seasoning. Come here.

The third friend also readily agreed.

In his last phone call, he called his fourth friend and said that he wanted to treat him to a hot pot meal. He had mutton, vegetables, and ingredients for shabu-shabu, but there were no tools for shabu-shabu. When you come here, bring some tools for shabu-shabu.

The fourth friend readily agreed.

that's it.

This guy who has no shabu-shabu mutton, [-] no shabu-shabu vegetables, [-] no shabu-shabu seasoning, and [-] no shabu-shabu tools, after a phone call, he ate hot pot and won the friendship of several other friends.

Today's Dong Tiancheng is the one who wants to eat shabu-shabu but does not have shabu-shabu mutton, shabu-shabu vegetables, shabu-shabu seasonings, and shabu-shabu tools.

The hot pot here is not real hot pot, but an allusion to the fact that Dong Tiancheng helped Zhao Qi to the throne.

corresponding.

The Imperial Guard Army, Imperial Forest Army, Imperial City Eunuch Force, and Infantry Yamen are respectively equivalent to that person's four friends.

Whether Dong Tiancheng can help Zhao Qi to the throne does not depend on Dong Tiancheng himself, but on the attitude of the Imperial Guards, Imperial Forest Army, imperial eunuchs, and infantry yamen.

If the imperial guards, imperial forest army, eunuchs of the imperial city, and infantry yamen express their support for Zhao Qi, it must be a proper thing for Zhao Qi to take the position.

in turn.

If the imperial guards, imperial forest army, eunuchs of the imperial city, and infantry yamen expressed their disapproval of Zhao Qi, it would be a huge super problem for Zhao Qi to become emperor.

Dong Tiancheng didn't want the Imperial Guard Army, Imperial Forest Army, Imperial City Eunuchs, and Infantry Yamen to support Zhao Qi, nor did he want these four forces to support Zhao Qi's opponents.

of course.

This is also Dong Tiancheng's personal fantasy.

So far, the Imperial Guard Army and the Imperial Forest Army among the four major forces have joined in and reached a cooperative relationship with Zhao Qi's opponent.

The only thing that is not clear is the power of eunuchs in the imperial city and the power of infantry yamen.

If these two forces also stood opposite Dong Tiancheng and formed rivals with Zhao Qi who was supported by Dong Tiancheng, Zhao Qi would have zero chance of winning the throne.

It's not that Dong Tiancheng has no chance of winning by supporting Zhao Qi, but the key to this chance depends on how Dong Tiancheng operates.

First of all.

Dong Tiancheng had to appease two of the four major forces, namely the city eunuch force and the infantry yamen force.As long as these two forces remain neutral and do not favor Zhao Qi, who is supported by Dong Tiancheng, nor the princes supported by other concubines, then Dong Tiancheng can compete with other princes who have the two forces of the Imperial Guard Army and the Imperial Forest Army.

But how to appease the other party?
In Dong Tiancheng's mind, he had already thought of a solution that was not a solution.

This is not the way.

In fact, it is the so-called gambling agreement of later generations.

The so-called VAM agreement is nothing more than taking advantage of the mutual scruples of various forces to seek actual benefits for themselves or their allies.

to be honest.

It is to use a small time difference and regional information difference to calculate all aspects, so that all aspects fall into one's own calculations, so as to maximize one's own interests.

How to maximize your own interests?

How to let Zhao Qi, who I support, ascend to the throne?

Dong Tiancheng planned it like this. He first used the infantry yamen to calculate the power of the eunuchs in the imperial city, the imperial guards and the imperial forest army, and then used the power of the eunuchs in the imperial city to calculate the infantry yamen, the imperial guards and the imperial forest army, and then used the imperial guards and the imperial forest army to calculate The power of eunuchs in the imperial city and the power of infantry yamen.

In the process of using the four major forces, maximize your own interests.

First.

The first person Dong Tiancheng used was the head of the infantry yamen, the admiral of the nine gates, Eker.

The reason why the target was selected as Oker.

It was because Dong Tiancheng heard a piece of useful news from Li Niangniang, not from Li Niangniang, but from his daughter Dong Ling'er.

Eker, the admiral of the Nine Gates of the Infantry Yamen, is a rather mother-loving person.

Eker has always wanted to stand out, and wanted to let his mother see the moment when he became famous.

But by chance, Eker, the admiral of the Nine Gates of the Infantry Yamen, did not fulfill his wish. Before he became the admiral of the Nine Gates of the Infantry Yamen, Eker's mother had died of illness for many years.At that time, Eker hadn't made his fortune yet. He was just a dispensable infantry soldier Niu Weilang. From the rank of ninth rank, he belonged to the lowest existence among military officers.

Low official position is one aspect.

It's another thing to be cash-strapped.

When Eker's mother died, Eker only had more than 100 yuan in his hands. The money was not enough to buy a coffin, but even old clothes.

It was Eker who begged his grandpa to sue his grandma and begged a lot of people before he got some scattered silver and bought a pair of thin-skinned coffins to bury his old mother.

Over time.

This became Eker's heart disease, a huge heart disease.

In the past, Eker's mother dreamed of a god, and she was pregnant with feelings. Ten months later, Eker was born. Therefore, Eker only thought that she was a god who came down to protect the Song Dynasty, so she worked hard since she was a child. He is proficient in all eight martial arts, and basically understands the art of war of each school.

Eker, who has a strategy of war, has always wanted to flex his muscles.

However, the imperial court is dark, treacherous officials are in power, and it is difficult to get into the virtuous. He has been in the army for more than ten years, and has been a dispensable from the ninth-rank infantryman Niu Weilang to his mother's death.

Under this situation.

How can Eker be reconciled?
To know.

He, Eker, was born from a dream. If he can't show his strength, how can he comfort his mother's spirit in heaven?

The helpless Oker.

I thought I'd be like this all my life.

Never thought of it.

After joining the army for more than 20 years, he was unexpectedly promoted. He jumped from a ninth-rank infantry soldier Niu Weilang to a second-rank nine-door admiral, in charge of tens of thousands of infantry yamen.
