The Golden Palace strives for the top spot and uses the world as a chess piece. Yang Jianzhen, the son of the richest man, won the first prize, but secretly made a shocking national policy with the king: to hide behind the scenes and take charge of the dark situation. Using the vast wealth as a blade, he weaves an all-pervasive spy network; using the greed of people as bait, he stirs up the turmoil in the seven kingdoms. In the bright light, he is the noble number one scholar; in the dark, he is the chess player who plays the cards. See how the business war coincides with the military front, how the spy shadow reverses the destiny of the country, listen to the thunder in the silent place, and decide the nine states outside the chess game. This is a world-wide conquest without gunpowder smoke. How a minister who supports the dragon uses wisdom as a sword to break the deadlock for the trapped dragon country and win the championship step by step. Good book
26 Buddhist Loser: Prince, Stop Pretending Cozy Little HomeAncient Romance427k WordsCompleted 1Reads5.8Score—Shelves
Reader note
1. Buddhist loser: Prince, stop pretending. Shen Zhaoning, the eldest daughter of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, is a well-known "waste" in the capital. He eats fast and chants Buddha's name all day long, and everything goes as he pleases. He even doesn't bother to talk back when his concubine is ridiculed in public. No one knows that she has been pretending to be stupid for thirteen years just to survive to adulthood in the cannibalistic Hou Mansion. Wu Yu, the sixth son of the emperor, was known as the "Sick King". He spends all day wandering around the flower streets, fighting cocks and lackeys, and the courtiers say he is a disgrace to the royal family. No one knows that he secretly controls Tianji Pavilion, and every fallen leaf in Tianqu City cannot escape his sight. An imperial edict bound the two "waste"s together. The whole capital was waiting to see the joke. On the wedding night, the prince sent a "congratulatory gift" - a glass of poisonous wine. The concubine buried a hidden stake in the house. The stepmother waited for her to run back to her parents' house crying. Shen Zhaoning picked up the wine glass and smiled: "Let it go." The next day, the prince's beloved concubine died suddenly, the scandal of the concubine's affair with her foreign husband spread throughout the world, and the stepmother's hidden stump was uprooted. "Sick Yangzi" The prince hugged her: "Madam, do you want me to take advantage of fate?" The good-for-nothing legitimate daughter smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you are pretending to be sick." Later, the court was purged, the prince was deposed, and King Yu ascended the throne. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, hundreds of officials knelt to greet him and all the people cheered. But the new queen was eating grapes at the back of the palace: "It has nothing to do with me, I'm just a loser." The emperor was helpless: "Queen, it's time to go to court." "Let it go."

But my protagonist has a very high IQ, because the author himself has a higher IQ, maybe, and he knows a little bit about politics, economy and history. Oh, the main thing is to write the management line. Well, if you don't understand it, I suggest you ask AI. If you don't understand it, ask me again. Thank you. My management line is really hardcore. He is good at guiding interests, balancing all parties, not engaging in opposition, and just wants to make everyone and the world happy together. He is a master of balance control.
