A few days ago, the man was still putting on an attitude and refused to bow his head no matter what.
Today he put aside all his pride. He really couldn't figure out who else he could rely on if he didn't rely on Sheng Mingyu?
Sheng Mingyu hid in the distance and watched for a long time before speaking, "How come you figured it out so quickly? This prince is here, just tell me what you have to say."
People who can bend and stretch will indeed achieve great things in the future. He is probably more difficult to deal with than the second prince.
When the man heard Sheng Mingyu's voice, it was like the sound of nature. He looked up and saw Sheng Mingyu.
"You're finally here!"
"If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I have a lot of things to do and don't have time to waste here." Sheng Mingyu frowned, looking disgusted.
This is a huge difference from the first time I met him.
"I thought you didn't want to cooperate with me. Now you're here. Are you also interested in this cooperation?"
The man's smile was genuine this time.
He has spent so many years to climb to such a position, and he will never give up because of some trivial matters.
"I'm really looking forward to it, but I have a big appetite. If your conditions don't meet my expectations, I won't cooperate with you. Tell me quickly, what can you give?"
Sheng Mingyu didn't look at him and sat down aside.
"I can give you very little, because I have nothing, but if you help me to ascend to the throne, I can give you my life, or I can give you half of the throne."
The man took a deep breath and told Sheng Mingyu what he was thinking.
"I know you despise these empty promises, but the other princes will definitely not be willing to give up the throne to you. I am the most sincere one. Anyway, I have no power, so everything depends on you. You can instigate a rebellion at any time."
The man continued speaking, explaining all the reasons extremely thoroughly, fearing that Sheng Mingyu would refuse, his eyes full of expectation.
"The throne? Do you think I'm interested in it? If I want it, no one can snatch it from me."
Sheng Mingyu suddenly laughed. It was exactly what he thought. This was all he could give.
"But they are only using you when they cooperate with you, but I will give you everything I can. Your Highness is smart and knows how to choose."
The man became anxious.
During these years in Jiangnan, he had no idea how to get to Kyoto.
It was only after talking with Sheng Mingyu that day that I felt the veil in front of my eyes was being lifted.
Sheng Mingyu pretended to think.
He stood there for a long time, looking at the expectation in the man's eyes, and finally agreed.
"It does seem pretty good, but you must keep your promise. Don't forget what you promised: second only to the emperor and above everyone else. If you do anything wrong, this prince will not let you go."
Sheng Mingyu acted greedy, making the man feel that his evil plan had succeeded, with a hint of mockery in his smile.
"Don't worry, as long as you're willing to help, I promise that what I just said is true. If there's anything wrong, I'll be struck by lightning."
"Okay, then it's happily decided. Pack up and come out with me. Since you've cooperated, I can't let you stay in a cell."
Sheng Mingyu agreed, and the man had a satisfied smile on his face.
Finally he got out of this damn place, and he will never come back in his life.
"We will be leaving for Beijing in a few days. In the next few days, you should pack up and make sure to tell them everything you have not explained. When we leave, we will not return for your sake."
The two of them went out together, and Sheng Mingyu gave instructions.
If you want to perform a play, you have to do it completely and say everything you need to say.
Otherwise it would be bad if he found out, after all, the person in front of me is not a fool.
"By the way, those bosses you arrested earlier must not be released. This prince also needs to think about who to hand over their business to."
As Sheng Mingyu was chatting, he mentioned Boss Zhang and Boss Yu again. He was so tired these days that he had forgotten about them.
"Alright! I haven't had much cooperation with them. These two are ruthless and cruel. It would be best if they were completely dealt with. It would also benefit the people of Jiangnan."
The man smiled and agreed with whatever Sheng Mingyu said, fearing that he might not flatter the right person.
"Remember, you are a prince, and you don't have to kowtow to me in private. However, when you arrive in Kyoto, you will appear in public as my subordinate. You may suffer some grievances, but you must endure it. After all, those young masters in Jingdong have bad tempers."
The two of them walked and chatted until they arrived at the mansion, where Gu Yunni was sitting in the hall drinking tea.
Seeing Sheng Mingyu leading the man in, he raised his eyebrows, very surprised, "It seems that you have reached a cooperation. Then I wonder what your name is? We will live together in the future, so we must know your name. We can't just call you by your name."
Gu Yunni looked at the man kindly. She and Sheng Mingyu were in the same boat, and she had to cooperate with Sheng Mingyu at all times.
"I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Shangguan An, and my mother's name is Shangguan Qing. I took my mother's surname." The man looked gentle and elegant.
If you ignore the prison uniform he is wearing, someone would think he is a frivolous young man.
"Shangguan An, it's a nice name. Your mother must be well-read. No wonder she attracted the attention of His Majesty."
Gu Yunni nodded. Her words sounded nice, but contained a hint of sarcasm.
Even if the man understood it, he didn't dare to say anything. In front of Sheng Mingyu, he had to bow down and be humble.
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess."
"Don't be polite with me. We'll be friends from now on. We'll see each other sooner or later. It makes me uncomfortable if you're always like this. I've prepared a room for you. Go in and get some rest first."
Gu Yunni spoke a few more words to the man and then sent him away.
The man just nodded without saying anything more, leaving them space.
"What do you think? I feel like he has a pretty high EQ. He's been praising me all along. If he knew my true intentions, he'd probably be furious."
After the people left, Sheng Mingyu laughed.
"He's just too insidious and cunning, that's why he praises you. You must be careful not to reveal your true colors. If he gets on your radar, he'll at least take a piece of you."
Gu Yunni shook her head helplessly.
"Now that his matter has been resolved, should we return to Kyoto? I'll have my men prepare. We need a lot of guards along the way. I'm sure there are many who don't want you to go back."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
The two chatted for a while before going their separate ways. They were busy with many things all day and really had no time to stick together.
In just a few days, Sheng Mingyu had finished everything.
He handed over the business of Boss Zhang and Boss Yu to the second-ranked bosses, divided up all the power in their hands, and let each of them take some benefits.
The new governor also arrived as promised, and he was from Sheng Mingyu's faction.
