Chapter 216: A plan within a plan
On this day, great changes took place within the Ziyang Empire, but those who were really qualified to know the details of what had happened were all given gag orders, and no one revealed any news.
However, there are also a few pieces of news that are still known to the people, and the empire does not choose to hide it completely, because there are so many things, and it can't hide everything, so it can only choose to reveal some of it.
Also on this day, Lu Ling was acquitted, without any warning, without any words to say to him, just one sentence, you can go.
However, the person in charge of leading him gave him something, saying that it was because of his discovery that day that the royal family saved some face, so he gave him some rewards.
He looked at it, there were not many things, only a thousand first-grade energy crystals, and nothing else.
He secretly said a word of stinginess in his heart, the royal face was actually worth such a little thing, so he didn't say much, and he didn't complain for half a point, because the plan should be about to start, and he didn't want to make more trouble recently, so he obediently followed the person who led him into Princess Qingxia's mansion again.
This place is much better than a prison cell, but it's a pity that Wan Qingxia is not there, and she doesn't know what to do, ask those subordinates, they will only say that they don't know, from this day on, Lu Ling has lived a life where all his life has been served.
In the next few days, Wan Qingxia never appeared, but he heard a lot of things one after another, and they were all big things, which he learned through the private chats of those people around him, and slowly he also figured out how dangerous his situation was these days.
Lu Ling thought with palpitations: "I was actually taken out by the two ministers to talk about something? No wonder the person surnamed Chen said that I was caught in the whirlpool and had to die, but that Zuo Xiang also deserved it;"
The news he heard was that the left phase faction advocated killing him to boost the country's prestige, regardless of right and wrong, and the right phase faction was to protect him, which was not unexpected by him, it should have been Pang Ying who had begged her grandfather.
I just don't know what's going on, and in the time that followed, the two sides have been arguing about this issue, but things are getting more and more biased, and it seems that there is a pair of pushers who are complicating the problem.
Soon, on the day he was proposed, the saint actually directly removed the position of the left minister, and also confiscated the left minister's mansion, and on that day, outside the main hall of the court, he beheaded many ministers of the left minister's faction in public, mainly for corruption and various crimes, and the left minister was officially imprisoned on that day.
This is all the news he can know, almost every subordinate will talk about it in private, listening to this, Lu Ling feels more and more that under the magnificent appearance of this palace, it is actually such a dangerous place.
Later, he looked forward to Pang Ying many times to quickly get things done outside, and they could go away and fly high, as long as the plan was successfully implemented, he could be in this place, and when the time came, the sky would be high and the birds would fly, and I believed that the Ziyang Empire would not be able to do anything to him easily.
Lu Ling didn't know that everything he had thought and done in the past few days had been recorded one by one, and the news he heard was deliberately revealed to him.
It was also the gazebo of that day, Qin Tianshi, Wan Fusheng and Pang Yuan were looking at the pages of Lu Ling's daily records, Qin Tianshi just shook his head, and Pang Yuan also frowned.
Wan Fusheng smiled and asked, "How about it, through the observation of the past few days, the two of you have briefly evaluated this person;"
Qin Tianshi looked at Pang Yuan, Pang Yuan was originally a straightforward person, took a deep breath, straightened his body and said, "Holy Lord, the old minister is not very good at this kind of thing, let's talk about my opinion first;"
Wan Fusheng raised his hand to signal Pang Yuan.
Pang Yuan opened his mouth and said: "After a few days of observation, Lao Chen feels that this person should not be valued so much by the saint, he ~ lacks motivation and bloodiness;"
Pang Yuan didn't speak again when he said this, and Wan Fusheng didn't say anything.
He just smiled, turned to Qin Tianshi and asked, "What does that Heavenly Master think?"
Qin Tianshi thought about it carefully and said, "In the past few days, we have deliberately revealed the news that he was framed to him, but after a few days, he didn't say a word, and seemed to be satisfied because of the thousand energy crystals;"
"Later, he deliberately revealed everything about him to him through his subordinates, letting him know that he had actually made a meritorious contribution that day, but he still had business as usual, this kind of character of being at peace with encounters, not fighting or grabbing, to be honest, Weichen is not optimistic about him;"
Wan Fusheng just smiled and listened quietly to what Qin Tianshi said, and Pang Yuan also nodded from time to time.
Qin Tianshi then said: "But everything has two sides, a person like him is afraid of being forced to go, a person with no talent, no matter how much he is forced, there is a limit, but if a person with extremely high talent is forced to take certain paths, he will only reap surprises faster than ordinary people;"
"Wei Chen guessed that the Holy Lord should have taken a fancy to this point, so he put some of the bet on him;"
"Hahaha~" Wan Fusheng laughed and applauded.
said: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a heavenly master, and every sentence really goes straight to the point;"
Qin Tianshi clenched his fists and replied: "The saint is too humble, the saint is the great wisdom, you are the far-sighted, and the words of the micro-minister are just icing on the cake;"
"Alright, let's not elevate each other;" Wan Fusheng said bluntly.
Then he said: "That's right, what the Heavenly Master just said is indeed what I think, a person with no talent, no matter how persecuted, we can see his limit after all, the most important point, this person attaches great importance to family affection, which is the fatal weakness of a strong person, but it is also this weakness that allows us to manipulate;"
"This person's talent, the two of you have learned through personal observation and previous intelligence these days, it can be said that it is unprecedented, he is just because he has not been taught by a famous teacher, and he does not have a competitive heart, so his performance makes people seem, it feels that he is only a little stronger than the average genius;"
"Therefore, I plan to let him give him the quota of those two outer disciples when he enters the upper sect, and become the outer disciple of the upper sect, it is impossible for him not to fight with others, those people are all bloody people, if his talent can explode as scheduled, he will definitely be noticed by the strong people of the upper sect, and naturally this teacher will also have it;"
"With the help of the superior resources of the Shangzong, he can grow faster, and we, we only need to tie this son to our chariot through some gentle means, and when we are in trouble, he will definitely come back to support;"
Wan Fusheng put away his smile and looked at Pang Yuan and said: "In the same way, your daughter Pang Ying, Prime Minister of State, we will still go according to the previous plan, when the time comes, internal and external pressures will appear at the same time, and we will see how far he can go;"
After hearing this, Qin Tianshi and Pang Yuan both nodded.
But Qin Tianshi then said with some embarrassment: "But the Holy One, you also know the recent plans of those little ghosts, I don't know how we should deal with this matter, and please ask the Holy Lord to decide;"
When Pang Yuan heard what Qin Tianshi said, his face turned black in an instant, speaking of which, he still found out about this matter, and he almost didn't get angry half to death at that time, and the person who handled this matter was actually his precious granddaughter.
Until now, he hadn't figured out what his granddaughter was thinking in her head, naively thinking that she could gather a group of rabble to rob the princess.
Pang Yuan thought of his son in his heart, and said angrily: "It must be her father, I will teach that kid a good lesson when I go back, and I can't even discipline my daughter;"
"We don't have to stop this, just wait and see and protect," Wan Fusheng responded.
"I must ensure the safety of the three of them, after all, no matter what, both of them are for my daughter, how can I be the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong;"
Pang Yuan hurriedly said that he didn't dare, Wan Fusheng didn't say anything.
Wan Fusheng continued: "Acting, you have to act really, I will give them some loopholes to drill, and then the people in the palace will chase them out later, during this period, Pang Xiang pretended to be a good grandfather, and privately sent the two away in advance, so that from beginning to end, we will only pursue those scattered cultivators, and there will be nothing to do with them;"
Wan Fusheng suddenly said: "But my precious daughter must be brought back, I am already ready to cheapen that kid, but I don't want to see any benefits, so I will take a daughter in;"
Pang Yuan bowed down and said: "Weichen has decreed, when the time comes, I will protect the safety of Princess Qingxia, take her back safely, and help the Holy Lord to promote this plan;"
Qin Tianshi watched the two of them discuss with each other from the sidelines, but unfortunately, a few people never imagined that a mountain was higher than a mountain, and what they were facing was not just some ordinary loose cultivators, but the force that made everyone fear, naturally it was likely to be more unexpected;
Qin Tianshi suddenly said: "It's a pity, such a good seedling still has to be given to Shangzong;"
When Wan Fusheng heard it, he also smiled bitterly.
And Pang Yuan just kept a calm face and said: "No way, time is not on our side, what we analyze is that in ten years at most, the war is coming, there are many reasons, the most important is that we fought against the Wumeng before, and Shengshang and I thought that there would be at least some small-scale wars between the two sides, just like in the past, but the Wumeng unexpectedly chose to be silent, which is not good news for us;"
After Pang Yuan finished speaking, he continued: "This time, we wiped out such a force of the other party in one fell swoop, but those few families didn't seem to care, just simple words to threaten them, if there is no problem here, who will believe it?"
Qin Tianshi nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, I didn't expect it to be so fast, ten years, I just don't know, within ten years, in the past few years, how many of these little guys have been arranged by the empire can grow up to be able to take charge on their own;"
Wan Fusheng didn't seem to want to continue to discuss such a heavy topic, and said with a smile: "Don't continue to talk about this, I think of my Ziyang Empire, Wen has Heavenly Master Wu and Pang Guoxiang, and there are countless people in the Langyang Empire, no matter how powerful his foreign enemies are, they will still only become the stepping stones of our empire;"
"Do your best to share the sorrows of the Holy One;" both stood up at the same time and bowed and shouted.
