395 Every Consideration

All the civil and military officials in the court boasted about their achievements, but none of them could compare to the aspirations and vitality of this man.

His Yin family should last for thousands of generations.

Every word of Yin Huaixi was provocative and heartfelt.

Even the civil and military officials in the court could not say anything wrong, let alone mention that Heir Yin Huaixi was still using the title of the son of a guilty official to provoke the emperor.

The court officials heaved a sigh of relief and shouted, “Your Majesty is wise.”

The emperor immediately returned to his high position and announced in the hall, “From today onwards, Yin Huaixi will be promoted to the Great General of the Eastern Expedition, and Count Changning will be the deputy general, and… a group of people will lead an army of 100,000 soldiers to fight against the rebels…”

As Yin Huaixi couldn’t fight, the emperor appointed two old generals to assist him in the war. In order to protect Yin Huaixi’s safety, he even gave him a hundred palace guards.

Immediately, the entire court was shocked.

The palace guards belonged to the emperor and only listened to his orders. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers inside. The emperor had sent the palace guards to Yin Huaixi, which showed how much he valued him.

Yin Huaixi took out the Four Seas Flood Dragon dagger from his sleeve. Blood was drawn out with the scabbard and dripped onto the hall that was covered in gold tiles. “I will definitely not let down the emperor’s grace.”

When the emperor saw this scene, his eyes were a little dazed. This scene was so similar to when his brother had gone to Youzhou back then.

When the news reached the outside of the palace, the tea in Mr. Xian Yun’s mouth was no longer fragrant.

He immediately went to the Yu Residence.

Recently, Mr. Xian Yun had been entering the residence frequently. Everyone in the residence knew that Mr. Xian Yun and Young Master Zhou of the Green House were friends despite their age difference. The gatekeeper was no longer surprised.

When Mr. Xian Yun arrived at the Green House, he saw Zhou Linghuai sitting under the grape trellis and drinking tea leisurely. He was furious. “Rascal, I’ve lived for most of my life, but I’ve never seen a second person who’s more scheming than you.”

Zhou Linghuai drank his tea and ignored him.

Mr. Xian Yun sat down opposite him and glared at him. “There’s anger everywhere in the country. Were you the one behind this? Were you also involved in the rebellion in Shandong?”

The weather was hot, and after he finished speaking, he felt his mouth go dry.

He snatched the teapot from the table and took a cup. Then, he poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the teacup, and poured it into his mouth.

After drinking it, Mr. Xian Yun wiped his mouth with his sleeve. “Yin Huaixi, you’re really scheming. You’ve used the so-called people’s anger to invite yourself to Shandong to calm the chaos. The emperor has no reason to refuse. When the army returns to the court, it’s time for the dust to settle on the Marquis of Changxing’s case. It’s even more logical to use King You to restore the ancestral temple. The good reputation of being a loyal ruler and bringing peace to the world will be obtained by your father, King You.”

What bullsh*t loyalty? If this kid had any loyalty, would he have forced the vassal lord to rebel?

He had never thought that Yin Huaixi would not be able to calm the chaos in Shandong.

Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips, disapproving of Mr. Xian Yun’s words.

The more Mr. Xian Yun spoke, the angrier he became. “At that time, on account of your merits, the emperor will definitely consider letting you inherit the title of King You and take over the 300,000-strong army of Youzhou. However, nothing is absolute. You’re worried that there will be additional complications, so you want me to enter the palace and intercede for you. This matter is set in stone. Heh, it’s really a good method. Every step counted. No, I’m really underestimating you. It’s not just ten steps ahead. You’ve been plotting for today since three years ago…”

This was what it meant to have flawless plans and peerless wisdom.

Look at this method. He was the bad one, and also the good one.

At this point, Mr. Xian Yun couldn’t help but laugh at himself. “No wonder. I’m just a wandering crane. Even if I have a reputation for virtue, it’s not to the extent that I can convince the emperor to let a fifteen-year-old weak, crippled, and sickly young man take over the 300,000-strong army of Youzhou and lead the war in Youzhou. It turns out that you’ve planned for today from that time.”

At this point, Mr. Xian Yun’s thoughts suddenly became clear. “You’ve flattened the chaos in Shandong and naturally nurtured your own power there. Shandong is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it’s rich in resources. It’s in sync with Youzhou. If you control Youzhou and Shandong, it’s equivalent to controlling half of the north of Jiangnan at the same time. Yin Huaixi, you’re simply…”

heIf she hadn’t said it, hee wouldn’t have known. Now that he had said it, he knew how deep this kid’s scheme was.

Even he did not see through it much.

He had really lived for so long in vain. It was embarrassing.

“Are you done?” Zhou Linghuai put down his teacup and looked down at him.

Mr. Xian Yun glared at him angrily. “You want to chase me away? No way.”

Zhou Linghuai supported his forehead with his hand and looked irritable. “In this world, the most brilliant scheme is often to hit the nail on the head. I took such a big detour and took all the trouble to obtain military power in Youzhou. How can it be a good scheme or a good method?”

Not only that, but he had also taken on the responsibility of bringing peace to Shandong. How stupid was he? Wasn’t it good to stay in the Yu Residence every day and drink tea, read books, eat cake, paint, and carve?

Why would he ask for trouble?!

Did he think he was willing?

It wasn’t like he was his father. He would ask for trouble only if his brain was damaged!

When Mr. Xian Yun heard this, his eyes darted around. “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have realized that this is indeed not in line with your style of doing things.” He looked at Yin Huaixi and saw that he was subconsciously rubbing the incense beads on his wrist. He suddenly understood. “The reason why you took such a big detour is because you’re worried that Little Miss Yu will be unhappy when she finds out, right? Haha, this scheme is endless… Haha…”

Thinking about it carefully, Yin Huaixi had taken a big detour to take 300,000 troops from Youzhou. It was indeed the greatest benefit at the lowest price.

Although it was a little troublesome, at least not too many innocent people were implicated.

Yin Huaixi was ruthless by nature. He dared to kill officials and nobles at the age of twelve. It was obvious how cruel this child was.

Now that he actually knew how scrupulous this plan was, Mr. Xian Yun’s eyes widened.

Zhou Linghuai looked troubled and disdainful. “Tsk, the elites in Ludong are chaotic. The clans are intertwined. It’s easy to quell the rebellion, but it’s difficult to control them. These clans have their own history, words, customs, and ancestral codes. The clan law is greater than the law of the country. As long as the clan isn’t destroyed, Ludong won’t be at peace.” At this point, he felt more and more that he had gotten himself into big trouble. He felt extremely disgusted. “The Dongyi has already retreated to the south of the east border guarded by the King of Dongning, but the east border is closer to Ludong. With the King of Dongning eyeing me covetously, can I easily control Shandong?”

Otherwise, why would he say that he was asking for trouble?

Otherwise, why would it be troublesome?

Who would be willing to do such a thankless task?

There were benefits, but he still needed to waste too much effort scheming. When had he, Yin Huaixi, ever caused trouble for himself?!

Mr. Xian Yun understood immediately. “If we don’t beat around the bush, what do you plan to do?”

Zhou Linghuai’s gaze suddenly darkened as he said calmly, “It’s very simple. Although Li Qiguang is the leader of the rebels and seems to have gained power, he’s actually not a Marquis of Qi. A snake is ultimately a snake, but there’s no doubt that Li Qiguang wants to control Shandong.”
