The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1182

[Chapter 1182 Internal Troubles]

After listening to the emperor’s concerns, Lin Tian thought for a while and said to Lin Tian earnestly.

“Hey, Lord Lin, you don’t know a lot of things involved. Why don’t I want to be tougher? It’s just that the relationships involved are too complicated. I have to think about the overall situation and can’t just consider one side of the matter.”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor showed a helpless expression on his face and said to Lin Tian.

How could Lin Tian not know what the emperor was worried about? The emperor has always been not as glorious as he seems on the surface. There are too many things involved behind him, which are nothing more than some interests, or some relatives.

Because Lin Tian has watched a lot of palace dramas in his previous life, so he still looks at these very plainly. Although many of the plots in the filming are unreliable, they can also roughly reflect the current situation in the palace.

“Your Majesty, I know your worries, but isn’t this a solution for you? Maybe you can get what the emperor wants with this.”

Lin Tian had a vague idea of what the emperor was worried about, so he spoke to Lin Tian again.

“Oh? After hearing what Lin Aiqing said, why do I feel that Lin Aiqing knows what I am worried about? Lin Aiqing, why don’t you tell me clearly, and what Lin Aiqing said about giving me a solution to my worries, why don’t you tell me too.”

After hearing what Lin Aiqing said, the emperor was surprised, but he didn’t show it. He just smiled and said to Lin Tian.

“Your Majesty, that’s just a guess of yours, and how dare I gossip in front of the emperor? Even if I dare, I’m sure your majesty will be unhappy after hearing what I said. If you want to take my head at that time, I’m afraid I’m very scared.”

After hearing what the emperor said, Lin Tian lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said to Lin Tian.

“It’s okay, Lord Lin, just speak up. I can guarantee your life right now. Just tell me.”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor’s smile disappeared, and he said to Lin Tian.

“Your Majesty, I’m telling you, right? You must remember what you just said.”

For the sake of his own head, Lin Tian asked the emperor with a smile on his face, making sure that the emperor would not change his mind later.

When the emperor heard what Lin Tian said, his face was full of that mean smile again. The emperor waved his hand impatiently at Lin Tian, indicating that he knew and asked Lin Tian to speak quickly.

“Your Majesty, I guess that you are worried about the throne. Now Yan State seems to be calm, but in fact, many officials are secretly taking sides, and the royal nobles are also recruiting soldiers to strengthen their own strength.

Not long ago, Yan State was attacked by Qi State. Although the military force seems to be sufficient, the army is still not strong enough, and it is not even as strong as the troops of the royal nobles.

And they also know that Your Majesty has been doing nothing and want to replace Your Majesty. Your Majesty also knows their ideas, so they also want to form gangs in the court and cultivate their own strength to deal with those ministers and royal nobles in the court.

Your Majesty, I wonder if what I said is right?”

Lin Tian told the emperor what he thought in his heart, and finally asked the emperor confidently.

But after the emperor heard what Lin Tian said, the expression on his face had completely disappeared, and was replaced by a look of surprise. But when the emperor heard Lin Tian asking him, his face changed instantly, trying to cover up his shock.

“How dare you, Lin Tian. Do you know what you are talking about? Is the court of Yan State as unbearable as you say? Am I as unbearable as you say?”

Then, a stern expression appeared on the queen’s face again, and she said to Lin Tian with an unhappy face.

Obviously, the expression on the emperor’s face was all pretended. The reason why he said this was to show his majesty. Lin Tian said so much nonsense. What’s the difference between him and those incompetent monarchs in history? That’s why the emperor said this to Lin Tian.

In order to express his unhappiness, the emperor even called Lin Tian’s name directly and scolded Lin Tian loudly to let Lin Tian know how angry he was now. Lin Tian

didn’t know why the emperor was in this situation. He thought he had guessed wrong. Now he said the emperor so unbearable, so the emperor was so angry. Lin Tian was so scared that he quickly lowered his head, and then whispered to remind the emperor: “Your Majesty, you said you were not angry before.”

“Humph, the reason why I’m so angry is because you can’t be more subtle? Fortunately, we are in my study now. If we were in a place with other court officials, where would you let me, the king of a country, meet?

But you didn’t guess wrong. The current situation of Yan State is not much different from what you guessed. What I am worried about is not those ministers in the court. I do have some solutions for them. What I am mainly worried about are those royal nobles and some other princes stationed in other cities.

When the late emperor, that is, my father, just conquered the country of Yan, in order to stabilize the situation in Yan State, he sent some royal relatives to lead troops to garrison other cities, and at the same time conferred them princes, so that the entire Yan State could be completely controlled. All in my own hands.

But now, the late emperor has passed away, and I don’t have as much control over those princes as my father did, so I naturally relaxed my management of them.

After the war with Qi some time ago, I realized that the reason why Qi was able to defeat the cities garrisoned by the princes of Yan so quickly and directly attack the capital of Yan, Jizhou, was not because the army of Qi had different abilities, but because those princes did not seriously fight against the army of Qi.

And because of the strange army sent by Lin Aiqing, the army of Qi was defeated. At that time, I realized that their army was almost intact, and some of them did not even fight with the army of Qi. They directly opened the city gates to let the army of Qi pass through and take the imperial city of Yan.

Their military strength even exceeds that of many small countries. If they want to form an alliance to attack the imperial city of Yan, the consequences will be disastrous.”
