Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2007 Dilemma

  So, what did Cao Pi do to secure his position as the heir?

   Naturally, he wanted to find a way to make Cao Zhi lose his father's favor!

Liu Xing looked at the somewhat sad Young Master Ying, and he knew that his brothers had probably already started to do it. After all, Young Master Ying would be able to leave the palace in a few years and take charge of his own affairs. At that time, he would be eligible to join this battle of heirs. war.

   That's right, according to the rules established by the third prince, his sons and daughters can choose a city to build their own mansion after they grow up, and become the "second head" of the city as a supervisor.

The main reason why it is said that the Supervisory Envoy is the "second head" of a city is that the Supervisory Envoy, as a non-established official position, is basically held by the prince and grandson, so whether it is the city lord or the eunuch, the Supervisory Envoy has to be given To save face, and under normal circumstances, supervisors will not steal other people's jobs, unless he wants to make some achievements.

   Or in other words, the sons and daughters of a certain prince are preparing to compete for the position of the first heir.

So at this time, the city where the supervisory envoy is stationed has two heads, and the head representing the prefect or the city lord will usually consciously become the deputy. After all, since the supervisory envoy has chosen the city where they are, it means that they Already a supporter of the prince and grandson.

Of course, the current third prince is theoretically also a supervisory envoy, so it is strange in a sense to appoint a new supervisory envoy as a supervisory envoy, but the new Dragon Emperor has no opinion on this, so No one will say anything more.

In fact, this is also easy to understand. Xinlongdi's attitude towards his sons and daughters is just two words - stocking up, otherwise he would not let all his sons go to other places as supervisors, and he also tacitly agreed that his sons will continue to expand themselves as supervisors. The scope of control has changed from one city to an unknown number of cities.

That's right, the Xinlong Empire actually only has three levels: town-county-city, and there is no state, county, or province level that Liu Xing imagined at the beginning, so now the Xinlong Empire actually has " The "Kyushu" structure is the result of the joint efforts of all the princes, which is why all the princes are willing to go out to serve as supervisors. After all, if you do not become the supervisor, there will not be many city lords or prefects willing to stand behind you in the future.

  So in a sense, Liu Xing felt that the so-called supervisory envoy was actually a prince, but the size of the supervisory envoy's territory was not fixed at the beginning, but had to be won by various means.

Therefore, the current Xinlong Empire is actually a bit similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. All the princes and kings were mobilizing troops and trying to annex other princes, but the "Zhou Tianzi" here is still very powerful. The king dared not disobey his words, so the princes and kings had to wait until the "Zhou Tianzi" was seriously ill before they dared to put their ideas into practice.

   But back to the topic, if Young Master Ying is willing to go out and become a supervising envoy after he becomes an adult, then he is equivalent to announcing something to his brothers - I also want to be the first successor of my father!

As long as there are no accidents at that time, there will definitely be a prefect or city lord of a certain city throwing an olive branch to Young Master Ying. After all, judging from the current situation, Young Master Ying is the third prince's favorite son, so this can be regarded as making up for it. There is an age gap between Young Master Ying and his brothers.

But judging from the current performance of Young Master Ying, he should not be prepared to compete for the position of the first heir. It is said that those powerful prefects or city lords have already taken refuge in them, so there are not many choices left for Young Master Ying.

  It’s like playing a real-time strategy game. Others start with one more mine than you, and there are more and more powerful hero units. How can you play this game?

  Unless you are Li Peinan, how can you win this game?

  So Liu Xing felt that if he was Gongzi Ying, he would choose not to be the supervisor now. After all, the chances of winning are slim now, and he is also easy to be targeted by his brothers.

But the problem now is that Gongziying is still a few years away from becoming the supervisor, and now he has already made his brothers feel the pressure, so a very embarrassing situation has arisen, that is, even if the current Gongziying expresses himself The idea of ​​not wanting to be a supervisor may also be regarded by his brothers as a way to slow down the army. After all, it is impossible for them to force Young Master Ying to write a letter of guarantee in front of the third prince, or swear a poisonous oath to ensure that they will not compete with them for the first place. An heir to the position.

   What kind of thing is this?

If Young Master Ying really wanted to do this, Liu Xing felt that his brothers would definitely stand up against it immediately, because it might make the third prince think that they forced his younger brother to do such a thing, so that Continue to maintain their current order of contending for the first heir.

It's like two companies on a race track fighting each other, fighting like you are fighting to the death, and now the third company is about to enter the field, then the two companies will be very tacit to attack the latecomer first, Get rid of this potential threat.

  So it is not so easy for the fisherman to benefit from the competition between the snipe and the clam, because the fisherman must first ensure that he will not be poked by the snipe and the clam.

Therefore, the son Ying is now in a very awkward situation. No matter what he does, he will be regarded as a threat by his brothers, and he cannot decide the matter of being favored by his father. A good show of treason, right?

  So now it seems that there is only one road left before Young Master Ying, and that is to really become a supervisor. . .

   "Hey, A Ying, your current situation is indeed a little embarrassing, but it's normal. After all, your father is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so some things are beyond your control."

Liu Xing sighed, shook his head and said: "So it's actually a good choice for you to stay with us in Tianshui Town, because our Tianshui Town is not enough to support you to become a prince eagle, so that your brothers can feel at ease Some, especially now."

When Young Master Ying saw what Liu Xing said, he nodded and replied: "Apeng, you are right, I left Liangcheng for their peace of mind, and of course my father also arranged for me to come to Tianshui Town because of this... At the beginning, I thought I ran out secretly, but when I met Xia Fei and the others on the way, I realized that this was a trap set by my father; at that time, my father suddenly asked me to accompany He rode a horse, and then asked me to help him get something on the way, then calculated the time when I would come back, and pretended to discuss Tianshui Town with Uncle He."

"After learning about Tianshui Town, I decided to come to Tianshui Town, and then my father happened to have something to go back first, so he asked me to take Hongyun for a few more laps, so I took this opportunity to ride With Hongyun running out, and thinking about it now, I feel that this is the result of my father's deliberate arrangement, because Xia Fei and his team have been following me all the time, and when I accidentally go wrong, They can run out to help me in the first place... It seems that my father and my uncles are really going to fight."

After listening to Young Master Ying's words, Liu Xing immediately sighed again, shook his head and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince is really well-intentioned, knowing that at this time you must let you, Ah Ying, leave his side. Together, your brothers will automatically be upgraded from supervisors to city lords, taking control of one or even multiple nearby cities, so they can more or less get some credit for this turmoil; if you are not in Tianshui If you want to guard Liangcheng, then you will definitely have to act with His Royal Highness the Third Prince during this time, or be responsible for guarding Liangcheng! This will make your brothers have other ideas."

  Since ancient times, if the emperor wants to conquer in person, he will leave the prince to supervise the country, so if the third prince lets the son Ying stay in Liangcheng, the meaning behind it is self-evident!

The most important thing is, even if the third prince didn't mean that, it's just because Young Master Ying is his only son who is still in Liangcheng, and other sons are in charge of organizing various affairs in other cities, so he can only let Young Master Ying stay in Liangcheng city. . . Although the reasoning is such a reasoning, but Gongzi Ying's brothers still have other ideas. After all, this is of great importance, and they can only speculate on other people's ideas with the greatest malice.

As for the third prince, if he does not let Young Master Ying stay in Liangcheng, but instead lets his other sons come back, or simply asks his confidants to come down to guard Liangcheng, then the Third Prince will have to take Young Master Ying with him, after all, he will never be able to Let your son stay at home at this time, eat, drink and have fun? that is equivalent to

  Then when the third prince brought his youngest son Eagle to the imperial conquest, this took on other meanings in the eyes of the other sons. After all, even if it is meritorious service in defending the city, it is not as high as the meritorious service in attacking the city, let alone the meritorious service of the dragon!

Therefore, if the third prince really becomes the final winner in the end, then the son Ying who has been following the action of the third prince has the merit of following the dragon, so maybe it can really make the son Ying the first heir of the third prince, unless one of his The elder brother played bravely and won great credit.

Therefore, the third prince should also know that if Young Master Ying stays in Liangcheng at this time, the situation will become very embarrassing, and no matter what choice he makes, various problems will arise, and the most important thing is that these problems will also affect His other sons, and those subordinates related to the sons will also be affected. If this chain reaction is not handled well, then the third prince can go home, wash and sleep, and there is no possibility of competing for the throne at all. .

   There will even be some scenes of fatherly kindness and son filial piety. After all, how can there be a prince who has been a prince for thirty years in this world?

That's right, the third prince has been a prince for decades, but his sons have also been princes for 20 or 30 years, so there is no guarantee that a certain elder brother of the son Ying will be evil, and when the time comes The situation may become more difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt that the third prince deserved to be an NPC with a ten-star illustrated book, and he had already seen the potential danger, so he took advantage of the opportunity to let Young Master Ying come to Tianshui Town, so that the crisis that was still in its infancy could be resolved .

  The third prince is protecting Young Master Ying.

However, the Three Princes have thousands of calculations, and they cannot be counted as the players of Liu Xing and others, so if Liu Xing and others perform well, then the credit they get will be more or less shared by Young Master Ying. After all, Liu Xing and others Everyone has been recruited by the third prince now, so even if Young Master Ying came to Tianshui Town to visit the mountains and rivers, he would still be the superficial boss of Liu Xing and others.

Therefore, Liu Xing is also a little depressed now. After all, the third prince sent the young master Ying here on purpose, and he saw that Liu Xing and others were "pretending to be ghosts", so it is unlikely that he will take the initiative to attack, and will only stay passively in Tianshui Town waiting for the finale to come.

  Even if Liu Xing and others chose to take the initiative to attack, the number of people in Tianshui Town is not enough to launch any effective offensive, so even if Young Master Ying can get some credit in Tianshui Town, it is not worth mentioning.

Logically speaking, it's normal for the third prince to have such thoughts, but he didn't, or he never thought that there would be such a huge uncontrollable variable as "player", so Liu Xing and others might really give the third prince a "player". surprise".

   Understaffed?

The number of players has the ability to grow exponentially. As long as Liu Xing and others can go out, they can gather players from various cities, and there should be a lot of NPCs around these players. One life is two, two is three, three is all things.

   In this way, as the boss of Liu Xing and others, Young Master Ying can naturally get a lot of credit. . . But this is not in line with the third prince's idea.

  So Liu Xing is now facing a problem, that is, if he has the opportunity to leave Tianshui Town, should he give the third prince a face? Or honestly waiting for the end of the mod in Sweetwater Town?

   But no matter what, Liu Xing felt that it was necessary for him to establish a good relationship with Young Master Ying.

   "Hey, no matter what, Aying, you should rest in our Tianshui Town for a few days first, and I will arrange people to clean up this yard as soon as possible, as your new residence, Aying. At that time..."

  Before Liu Xing finished speaking, he saw a figure coming from a distance at a high speed. Just when Liu Xing was about to speak to remind Young Master Ying, he saw clearly that the person who came was Yu Lei.

   Did you find something?

   Sure enough, before Yu Leiren arrived, the voice came first, "Master! We found at least two monsters outside Tianshui Town!"

What? Two monsters?

  Whether it was Young Master Ying or Liu Xing and the others, they all looked shocked.
