Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

After Alibai finished speaking, it was as if all the bones in his body had been extracted, and he stood timidly in place.

There was no need to say anything else; with Zhang Biao and Zhou Tie glaring at him, there was no room for resistance.

Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, his expression turning warm and welcoming again.

Alibai knew how to read the situation; he had no other choice now.

If he were to be provoked too much and act out against him, he really wouldn't know how to handle it.

"That's right, disciple. Don't be afraid. As the saying goes, there's no turning back once the arrow is released. Your only task now is to hit the bullseye."

"With your teacher's help, such a small matter can be said to be a piece of cake!"

"First, go out with Zhang Biao and Zhou Tie and immediately order your soldiers to guard the General's mansion securely. No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission, or they will be executed! Come back to see me immediately after you're done. Your teacher will be waiting for you here."

Before Alibai could agree, Zhang Biao and Zhou Tie stepped forward and forcibly escorted him out.

When he returned again, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and he stammered, "Teacher, it's all arranged. What should I do next?"

Fang Zheng stepped forward, affectionately putting his arm around his shoulder, and said, "Good, well asked. After experiencing such a major event, to be able to react immediately and think about how to act shows the steadfastness of your mind. Disciple, let's not talk about anything else, just this mental fortitude of yours is something many emperors can't even match. Your teacher believes that you will definitely become a good emperor in the future."

"Under your leadership, the Jin Kingdom will surely thrive together with our Da Jing!"

This familiar style made Alibai feel a strange sense of comfort, followed by a grimace that looked worse than crying: "Teacher, please get to the point. I feel very uneasy right now. If we delay any longer and someone comes, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

Fang Zheng smiled slightly: "If you always think that something unexpected will happen, then something unexpected is bound to happen. If you don't think that way, then nothing unexpected will happen."

"..."

"This isn't metaphysics. This is what your teacher summarized when I was eighteen. You can call it Fang Zheng's Law." Fang Zheng spoke eloquently, "The more anxious you are to go out and handle things, the more likely you are to be flustered. Things will develop in the direction you fear. So, you need to break your rhythm now and follow your teacher's lead. Listen to me finish speaking honestly, and you will know how to handle things one by one according to the rules. Otherwise, you will lose your composure. Do you understand?"

Fang Zheng's Law, during the process of creating Western pseudo-history, once again steals Eastern civilization.

"Under... understood, maybe..." Alibai said with a blank face, "Teacher, please speak."

Fang Zheng didn't care about his expression and said to himself, "The top priority is to control the General's mansion. Although the General's mansion doesn't have many soldiers, there are still many servants and slaves. These people may not be capable, but they are always a hidden danger. Later, you can transfer some more soldiers and temporarily imprison these people. Then, bring your men here to confiscate the property."

"Ishbu can be considered to have followed Utu into battle his whole life. It must have accumulated a great fortune. When you get this money, you can control all the troops in Pantai City, and then you can completely let go and no longer be restrained."

Confiscate the General's mansion and control all the troops in Pantai City?

These words were spoken lightly by Fang Zheng, but they were like heavy bombs to Alibai's ears.

He never dared to imagine that he would dare to do such a big thing!

He originally just wanted to make some achievements to show people... He wanted to cry but had no tears.

"I... can I do it?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "This is too simple. Your training in the past period has already established a good reputation in the army. Zhou Tie also reported to me that not only your soldiers, but even the soldiers in other barracks are very envious of your people. The foundation has already been laid for you by your teacher!"

"The rest of what we want is to be justified! Ishbu is dead, and his seal and military talisman must be in the General's mansion. Find the seal and forge a military order to take over the entire army. However, things are not that simple yet. He must have confidants in the army who will not easily believe you. You must take Ishbu's body to the military camp."

"In front of the entire army, claim that he suffered an accident and died suddenly, entrusting the army to you before his death. At that time, you will have to perform a crying scene, which your teacher will teach you. When everyone has not reacted, first issue a military order, ordering all the generals to stick to their posts in the army, maintain military discipline, and not to leave the camp without authorization in special times. Violators will be executed. Finally, use the money confiscated from the General's mansion to increase the military pay for all the soldiers."

"At this point, I think there will still be people who insist on going out to seek the truth, but the capable people have already died here. A vacuum appears in power, and you naturally occupy a high position. When they react, we have already gained a firm foothold and can defeat them one by one. By then, the army is basically in your hands."

Alibai pondered over the words, and finally couldn't help but say: "Not bad, not bad! That's right, if I control the army, wouldn't that be equivalent to controlling the entire city?"

Did he really have a chance to take charge of Pantai City?

Thinking of this moment of soaring to the sky, Alibai's sense of fear dissipated a lot... An unprecedented feeling gradually permeated his heart.

Power, he seemed to have never really touched this thing before.

Even if Fang Zheng was guiding him from behind, the army was indeed in his hands!

After all, no matter what, a Jing citizen could not be trusted in the Jin Kingdom.

At that time, he would be safe... If the Jing Kingdom won, then he would follow Fang Zheng's arrangements, after all, there was no other way.

If his father Khan returned victoriously, he could find an excuse to push all these messes onto Fang Zheng's head, and finally kill all the people who knew about it!

Seeing that he had begun to immerse himself in the role, Fang Zheng shook his head: "This is not just about controlling the entire city, it can only be regarded as controlling the army. You have only succeeded halfway."

"Disciple, you underestimate the temptation of power too much. Although the people in power in this city are all dead, there are still other small nobles and officials on the sidelines. They will eventually find out about you and me, and finally come out to make trouble in an attempt to get a share of the pie."

"I have soldiers in my hands, am I still afraid of them?" Alibai blurted out.

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng laughed inwardly.

He's getting into character, he's already starting to lean in actively, that's good!

"Not bad! It is true that having soldiers in your hands is a trump card, but this card cannot be played for the time being! With an unstable foundation, you can only rely on the army to deter and maintain a balance, so that they dare not act rashly."

"The time is too short, and you cannot replace all of Ishbu's remaining troops. If you lead troops to attack other officials, the consequences are unpredictable, and if you fail, you and your teacher will die without a burial place."

"Then what should I do?" Alibai asked anxiously.

"This second step is the key to your complete control of the entire city, which is nothing more than four words: win over the people's hearts."
