Feng Jiuqing looked down as a sharp light flashed across his eyes. "The Gu Family helped me seize the empire, and as they wished, I gave them supreme power. All the men of the Gu Family are placed in important positions in the imperial court. Who in the Feng Country would dare to disrespect them? The so-called aristocratic families can't last forever. They have enjoyed the glory for so long, it's time for a change. "
He brushed his robe and stood up.
As he stood up, Kong Yin also stood up.
"Your Majesty."
"I will return to the capital the day after tomorrow. I will give Master Kong Yin one day to consider. What do you think?"
"I only have one question for Your Majesty. If one day, I help Your Majesty get rid of the Shen and Gu Families, how long will the glory Your Majesty has promised me last?"
After knowing Feng Jiuqing for so long, Kong Yin had figured out some of his character. Whether it was the brothers who had risked their lives with him or the founding ministers who had helped him conquer the empire, they would not be in power for long. He was ambitious, cautious and guarded against them. He would never allow their forces to grow in secret.
It could be said that from the day he gave them power, he had already been thinking of ways to get rid of them.
Only officials who were constantly changing would not have the chance to make friends in private.
"One year, or maybe three years. Master Kong Yin knows me well. "
He watched as that spotless snow-white brocade robe disappeared into the distance. His slender and ramrod straight figure was like an immortal stepping on the moon as he left gracefully.
Yet, it was such a harmless man who was scheming and vicious …
"Master, have you really thought about becoming an official in the imperial court?"
Ling 'er walked behind him, her face full of worry.
Kong Yin turned around and looked at him. "Becoming an official in the imperial court has been my wish for many years. If I hadn't met someone carelessly, I wouldn't have stayed in this temple for so many years. No matter what, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. "
"But …"
Ling'er was a bit hesitant: "Master has been a teacher for so many years and is used to seeing all kinds of people. The emperor's thoughts are meticulous and his methods are cruel. It looks like everything is done for others, but they don't know that everything is planned by him. The eldest daughter of the Gu Family was deeply in love with him for nine years, but in the end, he used the excuse of pleasing the Gu Family to set up an affair with someone else … "
"Now, His Majesty has his eyes on the Gu and Shen families. The eldest daughter of the Shen family is arrogant and straightforward. Seeing how His Majesty loves the late Empress so much and is still thinking about her even after her death, I'm afraid that His Majesty will attach more importance to His Majesty …" After all, it was rare to see an Emperor who was so affectionate.
Feng Jiuqing had a peerless beauty that could make anyone fall head over heels for her. She also had a gentle and amiable personality. In this world, there was no woman who could resist her.
Hearing this, Kong Yin shook his head, "His Majesty was right about one thing. No one's right can be delayed forever. On the contrary, if it were this monk, I would also be the same. However, compared to the Gu and Shen Clans, this monk has more foresight. Within three years, I will resign from my official position and return to my hometown. In this way, not only will I be able to preserve my life, but I will also be able to fulfill my long-cherished wish. Although His Majesty is good at scheming, he is also a wise ruler. It's just that his thoughts are deep and he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. That's why he doesn't trust others. "
Hearing Kong Yin's words, Ling 'er didn't say anything else. She knelt in front of him and said, "Ling' er's life belongs to Master. I hope that Master will bring Ling 'er along no matter where you go. Ling' er is willing to serve Master with all my heart."
Kong Yin didn't say anything. He just helped Ling 'er up and looked at the scenery outside the window with her. "Ling' er, actually, what I said to His Majesty was true. The eldest daughter of the Shen family is no longer the person she used to be."
"Master, what are you talking about? I don't understand. "
