Your Majesty… Terrifying Beyond Words

The flowers split into two branches, and so does the story.

Months prior, after finalizing the plan in the Qilin mansion, Bai Dingshan stroked his beard and chuckled, looking at the assembled family members.

“Do you all know what His Majesty intends by making A’Yan a concubine?”

He spoke halfway, and the fiery Cang Tingbo slapped him on the head.

“Speak quickly, don’t play coy!”

“Elder brother, please be calm.”

Bai Dingshan still smiled, his expression calm and composed.

Since the great victory in suppressing the bandits in Jiang Qi, he had been meeting everyone and every attitude with a smile.

For no other reason than that it made him feel more and more like he had the demeanor of a general:

“I have been in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and compared to elder brother, I have a better understanding of personnel matters, court affairs, and local affairs. There is another deeper meaning to making her a concubine.”

Jingzhe’s mother was stunned: “Deeper meaning?”

The other members of the Qilin clan present also looked at Bai Dingshan.

Seeing that his elder brother was about to raise his hand again, Bai Dingshan immediately spoke, “Let me explain it to you.”

Stroking his beard, smiling, and then picking up his teacup for a small sip, Bai Dingshan rinsed his mouth and raised his hand towards Yan Shou’s direction,

“My Great Yan has enjoyed the country for over a thousand years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the weather is favorable, the country is peaceful, the surrounding barbarians bow their heads, and all directions submit.

But is there really no villain?”

Cang Tingbo: “**** is wise and discerning, and naturally…”

Speaking here, he seemed to have grasped something.

“The four town lords.” Bai Dingshan placed the tea canister heavily on the table, repeating again:

“The lords, and the remnants of the previous dynasty!”

“The founding emperor unified the hundred Yi, established the four towns of the mountains and seas and eight hundred lords.

Over thousands of years, they have each guarded their own territory.

Are they truly loyal and have no ulterior motives towards my Great Yan?”

“Especially that Dragon Gate!”

“Dingshan, be careful!”

Cang Tingbo raised his hand to stop Bai Dingshan’s subsequent words.

One dynasty, one emperor, one courtier. Matters of the imperial family should not be commented on, but from the perspective of that new monarch, the existence of Wei Yanwu did make him feel like he had a bone stuck in his throat.

Having such a royal uncle who could usurp the throne at any time and had followers in the court did make it difficult to sleep peacefully.

The Qilins present did not speak, obviously they also thought of the key.

No one knew how long the new monarch could sit on the throne. If he died a few years after succeeding like the late emperor, then Wei Yanwu had already outlived his younger brother, and it was not impossible for him to outlive another nephew.

Bai Dingshan shook his head, his voice gradually becoming smaller, his emotions calming down: “His Majesty is wise and martial, deeply aware of the shortcomings of my Great Yan, and knows that the lords have rebellious intentions.

This concubine selection and marriage are all schemes, and he will definitely see through the rebellious and rebellious officials, clear the internal strife, and correct the universe!”

Cang Tingbo was concise: “Explain in detail!”

“Elder brother, listen to my detailed words, and everyone will make a plan.” Bai Dingshan said, “Now that the Qilin clan has entered the game, I will naturally explain one or two for everyone.”

“His Majesty has good intentions, but you don’t know his meaning. The concubine selection was proposed by the old Grand Tutor, and that Majesty is not the lecherous person in the rumors.”

With the Grand Tutor controlling the government, he can’t be lecherous without a concubine.

“The Grand Tutor? But the Grand Tutor has always had a reputation for virtue…”

“Reputation for virtue?” Bai Dingshan sneered: “Does Great Yan know that there is a Grand Tutor but not a monarch?”

“And that Wei Yanwu, it is rumored that he is wise, careful in punishment, diligent in government affairs, courteous to the virtuous, and widely recruits talents, and also pretends to be his own identity to win people’s hearts…”

“Aren’t these wise actions?”

Someone was puzzled. Wei Yanwu still had abilities, and he managed Dragon Gate, a special place, in an orderly manner. It was obviously not appropriate to say that he was not virtuous.

“Joke; what is virtue? If the people of Dragon Gate only know Wei Yanwu and do not know His Majesty and Great Yan, and the court only knows the Grand Tutor and does not fear the monarch’s power, they are all ministers, but is this what ministers should do?”

Bai Dingshan then asked Cang Tingbo: “Elder brother, what do you think of me? Do I have a reputation for virtue?”

Uh… Cang Tingbo didn’t know what to say for a moment. Bai Dingshan really didn’t have any reputation for virtue. Who knew that he was a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites before?

The Ministry of Rites was the most useless department in Great Yan before, especially on the matter of Dragon Gate’s independence.

“I have not made great achievements, nor have I made great mistakes.

The people will not sing my praises, but they will not scold me repeatedly. I was promoted after suppressing the bandits, and I can only sit firmly in the position of Jiang Bohou if I am loyal to His Majesty.”

Bai Dingshan suddenly said with an angry expression: “Looking back at Dragon Gate, is that Dragon Gate Great Yan’s Dragon Gate or Wei Yanwu’s Dragon Gate?”

“Why should the crown prince of my Great Yan Heavenly Dynasty marry the princess of a small place?”

These words were somewhat disrespectful to Wei Yanwu, disrespectful to his position as the former crown prince.

After thinking about it, Cang Tingbo felt that everything was as Bai Dingshan said.

The four town lords, the demons outside the wilderness, and the Sui Beasts were all the biggest problems in Great Yan, and that Wei Yanwu was probably already harboring rebellious intentions!

“What are your thoughts?”

Bai Dingshan stroked his beard: “The matter of His Majesty’s selection of concubines will soon spread due to the publicity of those with ulterior motives, and His Majesty will definitely propose to take A’Yan into the palace.”

“We should obey.”

“I have a plan. At that time, you only need to sternly scold His Majesty for indulging in beauty.”

“Why is this necessary?”

“It’s just His Majesty’s plan. Use A’Yan’s matter to let some people stand up and openly oppose His Majesty in name. Elder brother is His Majesty’s pillar and is suitable to do this.”

“If His Majesty’s specially promoted pillar has dissatisfaction, then those thieves with rebellious intentions like Wei Yanwu will think that the general trend has been established. See if the Grand Commandant and Grand Tutor will show any flaws.”

“It’s worth a try, but…” Cang Tingbo thought for a while and said: “If I scold His Majesty, and the Grand Commandant and Grand Tutor take the opportunity to treat the Qilin as rebels, what should we do?”

“Is His Majesty someone who cannot distinguish between loyalty and treachery?

The lords only know that His Majesty kidnapped A’Yan on the street and regard him as a fatuous and immoral monarch, but don’t you and I know that he is not like that? This is all done for others to see.”

“If His Majesty really wants to marry A’Yan, how can we refuse?

You scold him for being a fatuous ruler, which is exactly what His Majesty wants. This is all His Majesty’s scheme.”

Cang Tingbo thought about it, and it was really like that.

He had received the imperial decree, and A’Yan’s entry into the palace was a fact, but he couldn’t just agree so easily.

Therefore, he, this great loyal minister who did not bow when carrying a sword, had to condemn his fatuous actions on the spot, scold him severely, and then leave in anger, so that the court would return to the situation where the Grand Tutor and Grand Commandant were evenly matched.

Then, in secret, he could lure out the lords who were truly rebellious, whether local or in the court. Not only would he not be at fault, but he would also be meritorious.

Bai Dingshan then said: “After you refuse, elder brother, His Majesty will question you, then I will definitely dissuade you and rescue you, and agree to let A’Yan enter the palace in order to offset your merits and demerits and forgive you.”

“You and I, brothers, will part ways and become enemies from then on.

You must understand that if you and I are united, it will attract everyone’s attack.”

“If the Qilin family has conflicts and is no longer united against the outside world, this is definitely what those with different ambitions want to see.

From then on, elder brother will be in the dark, and all I can do is rely on His Majesty.

The Qilin family has lost you, a master, and can only rely on him.”

“At that time, you only need to find a place, write a poem of rebellion as a signal to attract the rebellious lords in the court.

Just wait for His Majesty to clear the traitors, and he will definitely reward you for your merits.”

“When the dust settles, A’Yan will say a few words in bed, and elder brother will naturally return to the court.

Only when you are in the dark can you do many things that cannot be done openly!”

“This… although it will be hard on elder brother.” Bai Dingshan’s tone was a little trembling.

He brought the teacup to his mouth, only to find that he had unknowingly drunk it dry.

“Don’t think I’m exaggerating. Since ancient times, serving the monarch is like walking on the edge of an abyss.

A little carelessness will lead to eternal damnation.

A Qilin family that can only rely on His Majesty’s favor is also what the True Dragon wants to see!”

Cold sweat; came out!

After listening to Bai Dingshan’s analysis, the Qilin clan present were sweating profusely.

But after careful consideration, Bai Dingshan’s plan was also quite powerful.

In this way, A’Yan not only entered the palace and became a concubine, but the Qilin family also became relatives of the emperor.

Although they could only rely on the emperor, that’s all the relatives of the emperor could do.

More importantly, it made everyone feel that the Qilin clan was not a threat and made His Majesty feel that the Qilin clan was loyal to him.

High, truly high!

Seeing the expressions of the brothers and sisters present, Bai Dingshan knew that the plan had been decided, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

But now, he felt that the big stone he had put down was directly blocking his throat, almost choking him to death on the spot.

He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated that a big problem had occurred in his plan from the beginning.

“Guards, protect His Majesty back to the palace. I will quickly go forward to investigate the situation.”

Bai Dingshan strode forward, while letting the Forbidden Army who was following him escort Yan Shou back to the palace.
