Chapter 391.1: Look For Jin Qinw.a.n.g For Help
“If really want to let me go, it’s also whatever, but the officials will definitely think, letting Jin Qinw.a.n.g go, is it disdaining that the borders between Qi Yuan and Former Wei were too peaceful?”
That’s why, Jin Qinw.a.n.g was quite self-aware. Letting him go receive those people, he will make them want to wage war with Qi Yuan in seconds, not for the sake of taking back their ‘own territory’, but just for the sake of tearing into Qi Yuan’s capital to destroy Qi Yuan’s sixth imperial prince———-Jin Qinw.a.n.g, Li Hong Yuan.
That’s why, although knowing that Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s fighting power was formidable, able to make others vomit blood nonchalantly, strong towards the inside, and certainly even stronger towards the outside, they still didn’t dare to let him go. After all, those were envoys, harboring a ‘friendly’ purpose in coming. To just meet with mishap after arriving in Qi Yuan, it indeed wasn’t good to explain. Compared to the damage his fighting power brought to the enemy———-this rather satisfying matter, as expected, they were further unwilling to deal with the aftermath of the destruction he brought about———–this incomparably exhausting and troublesome matter.
Based on the above, at this time, the court officials won’t mention, and Le Cheng Emperor also won’t mention. Even if calling to mind, they would still firmly refuse to mention. If anyone were to show signs of mentioning, that was all needing to resolutely suppress. Just pretend Jin Qinw.a.n.g doesn’t exist. In any case, in the past, he for the most part had nothing to do, and right now, he also didn’t need to do anything. It’s best if he can just quietly be a beautiful man, otherwise, going to make children with his own wife is also doable. Others at this age of Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s long had children running around.
Le Cheng Emperor just issued an order to prohibit everyone from going to ‘look for trouble’. It’s best if they also don’t bother Jin w.a.n.gfei. Provoking Jin w.a.n.gfei and dragging out Jin Qinw.a.n.g, how normal of a thing. All in all, it’s best if able to not have Li Hong Yuan drawn out of his qinw.a.n.g manor.
These days, Li Hong Yuan also for the most part didn’t leave his manor. However, towards the matters outside, he was nevertheless very clear about. In fact, a few days ago, he even specially attended morning court once, under the excuse of “with the various countries’ envoys coming, there will be many matters, so willing to divide the worries for imperial father”.
Le Cheng Emperor nearly just directly roared: ‘You obediently staying at home is the best way to spare me from worry.’ However, in the end, he didn’t roar out. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, sometimes, just liked to oppose him. If you let him not do something, he will just insist on doing. If you tell him to go east, he will just go west, even one that was amendable to coaxing but not coercion. The more forceful your att.i.tude was, the stronger his rebellious mentality will be. Normally it was fine, but if something were to happen at this time, it will be the country losing face. That’s why, he can only wipe a bitter tear for himself, nicely and sweetly having him coaxed back. If truly bored, he can take his wife to the estate to stay for a period of time, and come back once the birthday banquet was ready.
Coaxing a long grown son to not do anything, giving a large sum of money to be a ‘wastrel’ that purely played around, this was also without precedence.
Li Hong Yuan had this part told to Jing Wan as amus.e.m.e.nt.
“You were simply just being deliberate, right?” The entire imperial court was all pitiful, and that one on the dragon throne was the most pitiful.
“Even if it’s the truth, Wan Wan doesn’t need to say it out loud. If one doesn’t take a stroll, what reason is there to stay shut-in in the manor and not go out? For better or worse, I’m still a qinw.a.n.g. Even if an ‘idle w.a.n.g’, still can’t neglect either. This is also considered a big matter, and for the most part, completely unrelated to Qi Yuan’s internal power struggle. Even if I go, the people of the other countries won’t attempt to look for me to do something either. Having no power and influence, there’s completely no point in forming an alliance, no? That’s why, for something that I’m able to interfere in, to completely not ask or question, there will always be those that will grumble. However, if after putting forth my stance, they don’t let me help, then it’s a completely different matter, no?”
“That’s why, those people were truly pitiful, getting cleanly schemed against by you.” Clearly he was the one that was playing dirty tricks, the one that made everyone all tense and nervous, yet in the end, he was even the most ‘innocent’, and the most idle. If certain people were to find out, afraid they would scream that the heavens were unjust.
“Under the current state of political affairs, even if one doesn’t partic.i.p.ate in anything, one still need to have the awareness of getting schemed against by others. Even without me, it would still be others. The difference was just that for the time being, they still haven’t started to suspect me. However, perhaps in the next moment, they will just become aware of the clues, letting me from then on become the target of a million arrows.”
“Even if in the next moment, they just start to suspect you, they still need a certain amount of time to verify. Besides, if truly able to just be certain as soon as they start suspecting, linking together a string, then wouldn’t the people below you be too closely connected and also too incompetent. Based on your style of conduct, the former is impossible, and all these years, your matters have never been leaked out, so their ability in handling matters also didn’t need to be doubted. Unless you jump out yourself, otherwise, it’s not too possible for you to be at the heart of the struggle in a short period of time. Or, could it be that you feel the attention on you isn’t enough and need to be even more conspicuous, or too bored, so need to look for a bit of something to do?”
“Bored? How can that be, I’m very busy, busy accompanying my wife. Who has the energy to put up with them.” Li Hong Yuan’s entire person was all very lazy, one hand playing with Jing Wan’s fingers, the other fiddling with the pendant that dangled from the buyao on Jing Wan’s head. No matter how one looked, he all appeared extremely bored. In reality, he himself didn’t feel this way in the slightest.
Jing Wan’s heart was racing a bit fast, her face feeling a little heated. Deliberately ignoring these, she jokingly spoke, “You’re saying it like I’m more important than anything else.”
“This is the truth though.” Li Hong Yuan boldly stated.
“If between the throne and I, you cannot obtain both, is it also giving up on the throne and choosing me?” Jing Wan slightly raised her brow and said with a smile.
“Is there even a need to say?” In his past life, he’d already been the emperor once, and even if he hadn’t, towards the throne, he also didn’t have any strong attachments. All of his calculations were nothing more than for the sake of holding up a piece of sky for Jing Wan, letting her live cheerfully and carefreely, enjoying the best of everything. And these things, without power, was unattainable.
Jing Wan didn’t doubt his words, only feeling moved. However, “If outsiders were to know, I will become that country-ruining demoness. Those people that work for you, afraid, will want to tear me apart. Besides, there aren’t any shameful areas about my status, so this hypothetical didn’t hold ground to begin with.”
“Even if not as the emperor, I would still be that crown-less ruler, and no matter who sits on that throne, the rivers and mountains will all still be in my hands, so definitely won’t let Wan Wan suffer hards.h.i.+ps.” On this bit, Li Hong Yuan had absolute confidence.
However, Jing Wan nevertheless rolled her eyes a little, “To have already walked to that step, who can still stop you from sitting on that chair?”
“For instance, if I myself don’t want to sit on it and whatnot.”
Jing Wan felt that this man, sure enough, particularly lacked a beating. Others struggle between life and death, spending all that painstaking effort, exhausting all that energy, enduring all the humiliation, yet in the end, you just obtained that easily————The others simply didn’t see him do anything. Yet, once you obtained, you instead toss aside and not care, pus.h.i.+ng a puppet up to labor away for you, not having any benefits, while you enjoy the fruit of labor. And in front of you, they won’t even have the dignity of an emperor. Even if not driven mad, one would still become deranged.
However, Jing Wan also wasn’t too certain whether he was joking, or really had this kind of indifference towards the throne. She believed that she was still considered to know him well, but she still wasn’t able to accurately grasp certain thoughts of his. Can only say, this man was truly difficult to read, unable to be figured out by ordinary people. Sometimes, Jing Wan was actually quite glad that this man has never hid anything from her, expressing everything openly. Else, to make you play the guessing game, wouldn’t that be exhausting to death?
How would Jing Wan know that the core in this sh.e.l.l simply wasn’t normal, having long cultivated into perfection. Even those old foxes with decades of experience can’t easily beat him. Moreover, he even held the advantage of having ‘foresight’. Even if there were certain changes, he can still make corresponding strategic decisions based on the situation. In his past life, even in that kind of adverse environment he was all able to become the final winner, so right now naturally wasn’t anything difficult.
Jing Wan indeed had experienced through the wind and waves before, but compared to him, in the end, she was still far too lacking. Jing Wan perhaps occupied the advantage of having knowledge from a more advanced civilization, but right now, there wasn’t any use for it. The schemes and machinations in political power, she simply was not able play around like a toy. Li Hong Yuan gave her things to look at, and explained for her, but she was still just at the learning level. Afraid, during the entire battle for the throne, she all won’t be of use.
