The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 931

[Chapter 931: Full of Knowledge]

“We should keep our troops in place now. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. We should understand this truth.”

The emperor also stood up from his seat and applauded Lin Tian.

It seems that the emperor completely likes the intentions of this minister and thinks about every aspect of everything.

“I didn’t expect that you look so young, but you have such extraordinary wisdom and thinking. If I can take you under my command earlier, it will be a perfect thing!”

“If I could have you as my subordinate earlier, I would not have experienced such a conspiracy as Prime Minister Zhao’s usurpation of power. Fortunately, you appeared in time, allowing me to have a new position on this kind of treacherous minister.”

The emperor also walked to the side of Lin Tian and put one hand on Lin Tian’s shoulder and patted him.

This pat was like a force of ten thousand kilograms pressing on Lin Tian’s shoulders, and Lin Tian was able to bear such a weight. After all, Lin Tian was also a new star of the era. As

for the wise talents like Shang Yang of Qin State, although Lin Tian was not yet considered, he could already compete with military geniuses like Wu Qi.

As for Lin Tian’s next move in Yan State, he must first reform the overall system of Yan State.

“So what should we do next? Prime Minister Zhao is still in prison. When will he be executed? This has become a difficult problem now.”

The emperor sighed after he finished speaking. He really couldn’t bear to get rid of the minister he once admired the most, but the emperor naturally understood that only by using such means could he consolidate his rule and status.

Let those who have ideas and conspiracies all be timid. Only in this way can Yan State have a stable foundation and further have its own position in the Warring States Period.

“Actually, Your Majesty, don’t be so anxious. Facing the problem of dealing with it, I think you should let it go for a while. After all, if you kill him once he is caught, his accomplices will not be exposed.”

“The most difficult problem now is that he has so many accomplices. This time, he has arranged all the personnel in the core system of the Yan State to seize power. These people may be your confidants. They may also be some ministers who have never met your Majesty.”

After listening to Lin Tian’s words, the emperor became more and more confused. He thought that catching the rebel Prime Minister Zhao would completely end this matter, but now he heard from Lin Tian’s words.

“If you want to completely end the matter of Prime Minister Zhao, you must uproot this cancer and find more accomplices, so that the core system of the entire Yan State can be replaced.”

“And if you want to complete this matter by yourself, I am afraid it will be a big problem. Now with the help of Lin Tian, this matter will become like a duck in water.” The emperor also thought of this idea in his heart in an instant.

“It seems that you have thought it through. From today on, I order you and your family to move into the palace and enjoy the treatment of the government. A life without worries about food and clothing is what people of today yearn for.”

After the emperor finished speaking, he waited for Lin Tian’s reply.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, but I think my strict father and loving mother have already enjoyed this pastoral life. After suddenly coming to this palace, there may be some restrictions on their lives and daily life. After all, they are also pastoral people, so let them go.”

The emperor thought that such a condition would be enough to make Lin Tian work for him, but now he was rejected by Lin Tian. Such a reason is irresistible to anyone.

“In this case, I will not force you. I also hope that you can give your parents a better living condition. It seems that I am worrying too much.”

After the emperor finished speaking, he laughed helplessly, and the smart Lin Tian naturally knew the emperor’s intention.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. Since I have chosen to be a minister in the State of Yan, I must serve the State of Yan with all my heart. Although I come from a merchant family, I have already learned from the contemporary master Guiguzi when I was young.”

“Compared with Shang Yang’s approach in the early Warring States Period, I seem to have my own ideas and opinions. I think if you want to make the State of Yan truly strong, you must change the dynasty. You must now be a majestic king.”

The emperor naturally knew what Lin Tian was thinking. After all, dealing with such a smart person is a very easy thing. The emperor’s idea was also seen through by Lin Tian, and suddenly there was a hint of embarrassment in the air.

“Your Majesty, please rest assured. If necessary, I will definitely settle down in the palace. Since I am already a minister of the State of Yan, Your Majesty should not have any worries.”

“You are still sensible. Prime Minister Zhao was once my confidant, but now he is biting me back. I was also the one who promoted him. He was the same as you at the beginning, but now you say that his official position is not as high as yours.”

“He also deceived my trust step by step. The land system he adopted is no longer suitable for today’s fast-paced lifestyle. He still uses backward knowledge to harm our country.”

Lin Tian also understood that the emperor was telling him that he must not hurt the emperor’s heart like Prime Minister Zhao, nor should he repay kindness with enmity like Prime Minister Zhao.

“Minister Lin Tian, swear to the emperor that our ancestors for three generations have never turned against the emperor like Cheng Zai, and the Lin family swears to be loyal to Huang Jiaxu until death, and will not betray, abandon or give up.”

Lin Tian was also afraid that the emperor would have any concerns about him, and he also told the emperor his thoughts.

“Minister Lin Tian, I am so lucky to have a subordinate like you. As long as you give me advice for my country of Yan, you will be my prime minister in the future.”

After the emperor said these words, he also found some problems and was unwilling to continue talking.

Looking at the singing girls in the hall who were good at singing and dancing, the emperor felt a little worried. He didn’t know whether the minister in front of him could be trusted. Just from the fact that he could see through Prime Minister Zhao, it can be seen that he was also different from ordinary people.

Facing such a rising star, who seemed to have stronger ambitions and patterns, whether he could control such an outstanding talent was also a little doubt in the heart of the King of Yan. After all, he was also a mediocre person.

The two stopped talking at this time, and the music in the hall was filled with a rhythm of sadness.

“Report…”

A hurried voice came from outside the gate.

It interrupted the worries in the hearts of the two people. What is the new thing? It can make the fast horse censor come to report so anxiously.

“Fast horse censor, what is it? It makes you so anxious and lose the grace of my Yan State.”
