Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu said, "In a few days, I plan to appoint a new Cabinet assistant. Time is of the essence, I don't want to wait any longer."    

"Since Your Majesty has already made a decision, this old servant cannot interfere, but there are a few things that need to be explained to Your Majesty." Zhao Gao smiled faintly.    

Lu Yu nodded, "Go ahead."    

Zhao Gao said, "No matter which one you appoint, it will definitely cause another faction to turn against you. The difference in strength between the two parties is too great. You need to know how to balance them."    

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows. "Which two sects are you talking about?"    

"Of course it's the Lu and East Victory parties!"    

Zhao Gao suddenly let out a long sigh. "I'm afraid even His Majesty would not be able to think of it. The factions in front of you... Actually, they had already started fighting each other. The factions are like trees in a forest, only maintaining the surface peace between each other. However, in private, they have already launched a vigorous attack."    

"The Lu Faction is led by Li Si. They are young and energetic. Although they have a lot of people, their strength is not enough. Among them, there are rarely high-ranking officials."    

"The East Victory Party is mainly led by the Nets Above Snares Below and the Rising Dragon Army. They elected Pei Tianguang as their leader. Because they have been following His Majesty for the longest time, many of them have outstanding achievements. In terms of experience, the Lu Party can't compare to them."    

Lu Yu frowned, as if he was deep in thought.    

Zhao Gao said emotionally, "It's not just these two parties. There are even more parties in the Imperial Court. Powerful factions, Confucianism, Conservatives, and many other factions are mixed in. Your Majesty, your current situation... If you take action, you will be affected. If you are not careful, you might fall into a bottomless abyss."    

Lu Yu nodded and said," Humans have desires. Because of benefits, they gather together. This is a common thing, and it cannot be changed. "    

Suddenly, Lu Yu changed the topic and looked at Zhao Gao. "Actually, you have missed one thing. That is the eunuch party."    

Zhao Gao's body shook, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.    

"Wei Zhong, Liu Jin... I won't say anything more. Now, not only the inner palace, but even the Silken Dragon Guards are under your control, right? The largest Dayuan Bank in the Imperial Capital. The biggest income every year. It's all in your pocket, right?" Lu Yu's expression could not be seen clearly as he looked at the waves of the lake. He said faintly.    

Zhao Gao stood up. A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.    

"Do you think I don't understand what you're saying?"    

"Or do you really think that I came here to talk about this?"    

Lu Yu continued to speak. His voice was calm, but it was filled with killing intent.    

Zhao Gao was kneeling on the ground, his head was lowered, and his body was trembling.    

"Who are you loyal to?"    

Lu Yu's voice sounded like thunder in Zhao Gao's ears.    

In an instant, the pressure that was like a tsunami descended upon the old eunuch's voice. At this moment, Zhao Gao felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.    

"This old servant is loyal to Your Majesty." Zhao Gao said in a trembling voice.    

Lu Yu didn't look at this old eunuch. His expression was cold, as if an Immortal Emperor had descended.    

"You are lying."    

"I know. You are only loyal to Zhao Tianyin. Even if I'm his reincarnation, you're still loyal to Zhao Tianyin in your heart. I shattered Zhao Tianyin's soul, and you still want to build a castrated faction to take revenge on me? "    

" Why didn't I choose to live in the imperial palace? Don't you know? The killing formation in the harem has been left behind until the end. Do you really think that with just you and Jing Kang being the prince, you can put me to death? "    

Lu Yu said in a calm tone, but every word he said was like a heavy hammer smashing into Zhao Gao's heart.    

"You better remember this. In this world, there is only one person who can make the final decision!"    

"That's me."
