Your one-stop haven for novel reading.
"Yin Jingyi is a stubborn and self-important man. However, because the late emperor vigorously supported generals from humble backgrounds and suppressed the power of aristocratic families, he, as a scion of an aristocratic family, naturally suffered a great impact."
"And the current Grand Tutor of the Great Qian Dynasty, Gu Changqing, is an outstanding person from a humble background. He is exceptionally talented and has made outstanding military achievements. He quickly became a pillar of the court and was repeatedly appreciated and valued by the late emperor."
"Although Yin Jingyi also acknowledged that Gu Changqing's military talent was indeed outstanding, the fire of jealousy in his heart burned brighter and brighter. He believed that the reason he was suppressed was not because of a lack of ability, but because of his family background, and that the court was being unfair to aristocratic generals."
"Over time, this jealousy gradually distorted his mind, causing the conflict between him and Gu Changqing to deepen day by day."
As Su Ye listened, a playful smile appeared on his lips; he seemed to have already seen the potential for exploitation.
A dark glint flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes as he secretly plotted how to use Yin Jingyi.
"Furthermore, I have also sensed that Yin Jingyi harbors resentment towards the Great Qian royal family."
"In order to strengthen central authority and weaken the power of aristocratic families, the late Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty not only supported generals from humble backgrounds, but also imposed many restrictions on aristocratic families. As a powerful aristocratic family, the Yin family was naturally the first to be affected."
"In Yin Jingyi's heart now, he probably already regards the Great Qian royal family and Gu Changqing as one, and hates them to the bone."
Yao Guangxiao paused here, seemingly considering his next words.
The atmosphere in the study grew increasingly heavy, as if the air itself had frozen.
"Now, the Great Qian Dynasty is in turmoil, beset by internal and external troubles. Yin Jingyi must have long harbored treacherous thoughts."
"What he lacks is just an opportunity, an opportunity that allows him to fully unleash his potential and realize his ambitions."
A glint of light flashed in Su Ye's eyes; he understood Yao Guangxiao's meaning.
Zhao Gao was also eager to make a move, and couldn't wait to bring Yin Jingyi into their camp.
"So it seems that Yin Jingyi already harbors rebellious intentions, but he just lacks an opportunity."
Su Ye listened, seemingly lost in thought.
"Does the master intend for us, the Luo Wang, to fan the flames from behind, incite Yin Jingyi's violent heart, and make him take action against the Great Qian Dynasty?"
Su Ye asked in a deep voice, "If it's true, this move, if played well, could be the key to overthrowing the Great Qian Dynasty!"
"That's right. Yin Jingyi now commands an elite force of the Great Qian Dynasty—the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion. The soldiers of this battalion are all clad in tiger head heavy armor and wield heavy halberds. They are extremely powerful and are a formidable force of the Great Qian Dynasty."
"If Yin Jingyi really harbors any ill intentions towards the Great Qian Dynasty, then with his Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion, he could become a sharp weapon in our hands, causing unimaginable damage to the Great Qian Dynasty."
Yao Guangxiao nodded, a calm smile on his face.
"My lord, leave this matter to Luo Wang. This old servant will do his utmost. I have long heard of Yin Jingyi. Now that Mr. Yao has said this, his resentment and violence are exactly the weaknesses we can exploit."
"This old servant will dispatch elites from the Net to secretly contact Yin Jingyi, offering him immense rewards to entice him into utter madness, ultimately leading the Great Qian Dynasty to its doom!"
Zhao Gao listened with great interest, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"We must proceed with caution in this matter. Yin Jingyi is cunning and suspicious. If we are not careful, we may alert him."
"You must be very careful and not leave any trace."
Su Ye pondered for a moment and then nodded.
"Rest assured, my lord, I will work closely with Lord Zhao Gao to ensure everything goes smoothly. If we can approach him from another angle, it might be easier to get close to Yin Jingyi and gain his trust."
"Furthermore, I've also remembered that Yin Jingyi has a confidante in Qiandu named Cong Suxin. She and Yin Jingyi have already pledged their lives to each other. If we could start with her..."
Yao Guangxiao calmly twirled the prayer beads in his hand and bowed slightly.
Although Yao Guangxiao was thick-skinned enough, he still couldn't bear the thought of a dignified black-robed demon monk so brazenly scheming against a weak woman in front of his own lord.
"My lord, Mr. Yao, why don't we start with Su Xin? Women are often the Achilles' heel of heroes and warriors."
"We can devise a great show and have the direct descendants of the Daqian royal family play the 'protagonists'."
However, Zhao Gao, who was standing to the side, did not have this psychological burden. When he heard Yao Guangxiao suddenly stop, he immediately made an excited suggestion.
"It would be even better if we could lure a few more direct descendants of the Si family into our trap."
"Let's take advantage of Yin Jingyi's lack of reaction and have those guys target Cong Suxin. And the methods they use, naturally, should be as despicable and vile as possible."
Zhao Gao, dressed in a blood-red robe, rubbed his hands together slightly, and his originally ruthless demeanor inexplicably turned somewhat lewd.
"Won't this completely ignite Yin Jingyi's anger and violence?"
"If he saw his beloved being humiliated, wouldn't he go completely insane?"
At this point, Zhao Gao chuckled, a sinister smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Su Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he looked at Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao, who had been quite energetic, seemed half-asleep, his head lowered and his eyes fixed on the prayer beads in his hand, as if trying to see something amazing in them.
"Also, my lord, I've heard that the birth mother of the new Emperor Si Yiqi of the Great Qian Dynasty has a habit of going to the temples in the imperial court to pray for blessings every now and then because of the constant warfare in the Great Qian Dynasty."
"This is a fantastic opportunity!"
Seeing this, Zhao Gao became even more energized and continued speaking.
"If we could subtly guide Yin Jingyi after he was attacked by those direct descendants of the Si family, taking advantage of his burning anger and near loss of reason, we could achieve our goal."
"If we could take advantage of the moment when he's about to lose his mind and do something indecent to the new emperor's birth mother... then the Luo Net could spread the news..."
"Hmph, wouldn't that mean the Great Qian royal family would be thrown into complete chaos?"
At this point, a sinister glint appeared in Zhao Gao's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Su Ye's lips twitched slightly. He had to admit that when it came to insidiousness, Zhao Gao, that eunuch, was the best.
However, although Zhao Gao's plan was insidious, vicious, and even somewhat despicable, it was indeed possible to achieve the desired effect.
If such internal turmoil were to occur within the Great Qian imperial family at this critical juncture, their plan to overthrow the Great Qian dynasty would be even easier to achieve.
