Jun Zhan Tian remained silent, but he was secretly nodding in his heart. He was completely disheartened by what had happened a few days ago. He had planned to perish together with the Emperor, but His Majesty had stopped him. Moreover, his grandson had returned safe and sound. His mood had naturally changed. If it was not the Jun Family, any other family would have been flattened, even if they had catered to His Majesty's wishes! Thinking about it now, it was truly thrilling and frightening.
"Grandfather, there is no doubt that you are loyal to the Royal Family. But that is only you." Jun Moxie said. "Although the Jun Family appears to be the most powerful family in the world, the Jun Family's power is dependent on His Majesty's Imperial Decree! Once this Imperial Decree is issued, the Jun Family will collapse in an instant! I am not used to this. I believe that even Third Uncle may not be used to it! "
"I have never been used to having my fate in the hands of others. That is why I would rather be a debauchee for the rest of my life. But now that my debauchee life has come to an end, I need to change. And the premise of this change is … I need to control the Jun Family in my own hands!" Jun Moxie looked at Jun Zhan Tian. "This is my highest goal, my ultimate plan, and the foundation of all my plans!"
"Controlling one's fate in one's own hands! For you to have such thoughts, it means that you are showing signs of rebellion! "Grandpa Jun's body trembled as he looked at him sternly.
"Grandfather, you have misunderstood. In my opinion, those who want to be Emperors and those who have already become Emperors are fools. Especially those who are determined to become Emperors. They are the fools among fools!" Jun Moxie snorted. "Even if you have the power to overturn the world, even if you have three thousand beauties, it is all meaningless to me. I have no interest at all."
"You!" Grandpa Jun was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. His white beard was blown into a mess. For the loyal Grandpa Jun, these words had undoubtedly insulted his most loyal subject. If the one who spoke was not Jun Moxie, he would have died seventeen or eighteen times over!
"Grandfather, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Let me make it clear today! His Majesty would never allow the Jun Family to possess such great strength and outstanding descendants! That was a great threat to the throne! Father, Second Uncle, and my two brothers' deaths, I will investigate it clearly sooner or later. If there are any mysteries behind it, I might have to seek justice. "Jun Moxie said calmly. Alright, since I've admitted that I'm Jun Moxie, I naturally have to do something for this family. And this matter is probably the Jun Family's biggest worry.
Grandpa Jun sighed dejectedly. After pondering for a long time, he stood up, turned around and said: "When the former Emperor established the Tian Xiang Kingdom, he intentionally moved several of the great families of the kingdom to Tian Xiang City, bestowing them with high positions. This method has two advantages. First, all the great families are gathered together, making it easier to control. Second, all the great families keep each other in check, making it easier to maintain a balance of power. Only in this way can the Imperial Family gain control of the situation. "
"At present, in Tian Xiang City, with the exception of the Ye Family, the Jun Family, Li Family, Dugu Family, Mu Rong Family, and the Tang family each occupy their own territory. In recent years, the Meng Family and the Song Family have also been added. But in the end, they're nothing more than clowns, and they can't be compared to the great clans mentioned earlier. "
"The military is led by the Jun Family and the Dugu Family. Although the Mu Rong Family wants to meddle in the military, as long as Dugu Zongheng and I are around, they will never be able to interfere! On the surface, the Li and Meng Families are our biggest rivals. They are constantly thinking of ways to bring each other down. Moreover, these two families are related by marriage. Among the younger generation of the Li Family, there is a talented Li Youran! Naturally, they are a bigger threat. "
"The Song Family has always kept a low profile, so we can ignore them for now. The Jun Family and the Dugu Family are rivals in the military. Usually, we have small squabbles. That old bastard Dugu Zongheng is not convinced by me. But this is not the main point. The main point is that although our two families keep each other in check, we are both loyal to the Imperial Family. So, we will never really have a falling out. You have to keep this in mind! This is also the reason why the Jun Family can stand tall in the Imperial Court! "
"Among the great families, the Mu Rong Family is the most ambitious. You must be wary of them, but you don't have to be deliberate."
"These great families all have their own schemes. Once the time comes for a real purge, everything will be revealed. Everything will be revealed on the surface, but before that happens, no matter what happens, we will all live in harmony with each other. This is the unspoken principle of the Zhu Clan. "
"So, now is the time when you youngsters are stirring up trouble. Everyone is watching you youngsters make trouble. Even if the trouble is a bit outrageous, everyone will just laugh it off. But at the same time, everyone is paying attention to you youngsters. They want to see which of the youngsters is the most threatening. Grandpa is very pleased that you are able to see this clearly. "
Grandpa Jun avoided Jun Moxie's topic of investigating the deaths of the two generations of the Jun Family. Instead, he began to analyze the situation within the capital.
"Three years ago, His Majesty had intended to appoint a Crown Prince. But after a series of tests, he had no choice but to give up on this idea. He allowed the three princes to fight amongst themselves while he hid behind the scenes and watched as his three sons made trouble. His Majesty had always believed that all three of his sons were wolves! But in the competition between the three wolves, there will always be a king. And the final victor will be His Majesty's successor. "
Jun Moxie sneered, but did not say anything.
Grandpa Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head. "But a wolf will always be a wolf. It will never transform into a tiger, nor will it transform into a dragon! Even if it is the Wolf King, it will still follow the path of a wolf. However, His Majesty clearly does not have a better choice. He could only force them again and again, oppress them again and again. But at the same time, intimidate them again and again, tame them again and again! "
"Of course, the old foxes of the various families have noticed this. For the sake of their own families, they would not easily intervene in the disputes between the princes. However, within each family, there will always be someone who is very close to one of the princes. Imperceptibly, a balance has been maintained!"
"At present, the three princes are not involved at all. The first is my Jun Family, the second is the Dugu Family, and the third is the Li Family."
Grandpa Jun spoke in a seemingly inexplicable manner, completely unrelated to what Jun Moxie had said. It seemed as though he was talking to himself, but at the same time, it also seemed as though he was talking to Jun Moxie. After saying that, he finally came to a conclusion. "So, as long as you know what you intend to do and don't go overboard, I will cooperate and do whatever I want."
After saying that, Grandpa Jun stood up tiredly and said. "Right now, I have no choice but to recognize my old age. I can only watch from the side. Your Third Uncle's body … err, crippled. The Jun Family can only depend on your actions. No matter what happens, as long as you have a plan in mind and don't let the Jun Family fall into eternal damnation, it will be fine! "
Jun Moxie's eyes lit up. He had keenly grasped the meaning of Grandpa Jun's last sentence. "Do whatever I want." This sentence had a profound meaning.
No wonder he gave me an analysis of the situation in the capital. It turns out that this was the main part of the plot. That meant that you can do whatever you want. The Jun Family will support you but will not participate. However, if something happens, I will still be responsible for fishing you out …
However, when he mentioned Third Uncle's disability, why did he pause for a moment? This question was immediately answered.
Jun Zhantian's eyes carried a gratified expression as he looked at his grandson. "As for your Third Uncle's leg, if you really have a way, then hurry up. No matter what the final result is, do not drag it out. If you drag it out, not only will your Third Uncle be anxious, there will be others who will be even more anxious. "
After saying that, Grandpa Jun glared at him and lectured. "Hmph, you two, do you really think that this old man is muddle-headed? You are my grandson and that is my son. This is the Jun Family's courtyard! You actually colluded to hide it from me? Do you think you can hide it? What a joke! "
"Err," Jun Moxie felt a little awkward. He rubbed his nose and explained. "I just don't want you to be disappointed if it fails."
"I never held any hope for this matter!" Grandpa Jun's eyes widened. His words dealt a heavy blow to Jun Moxie. Jun Moxie lowered his head with a dark expression.
"If you really manage to cure it, do you think that this old man will be so stupid as to announce it to the world? Am I afraid that the world will not know? Then get people to set their sights on you and your father, and set up one plot after another to frame you? If you hide anything from me again, this old man will spank both your butts! I will make it so that you will not be able to leave the house for the rest of your lives! "
Jun Mo Xie was flabbergasted and speechless.
