Chapter 445: Lao An, You Have Become a Bad Person
Settle in the backyard!
If Emperor Chengshan were here at this moment, he would find that the leader of the secret guards, whom he considered to be the most loyal, was standing outside the backyard door, guarding the backyard gate.
Emperor Chengshan would not know that An Zisheng had already started planning long before he started to establish the secret guards, and the leader of his secret guards was one of the many students trained by An Zisheng.
"So, this was a trap set by the two of you, and Emperor Chengshan just jumped in like that?"
"Mr. Lin, this is not a game. To be precise, it is a bet between the princess and me."
An Zisheng looked at Lin Ye with a smile: "Actually, all of this has something to do with you, Mr. Lin."
"What does it have to do with me?" Lin Ye asked curiously.
"If it weren't for the ideas you instilled in me, Master Lin, the country would be prosperous and the people would be strong, and business would be flowing. How could I have imagined that it was the imperial power that was hindering social development?"
imperial power!
In the minds of people in the other world, the existence of imperial power is a must. Even if dynasties change, it is just a matter of changing the emperor.
Everyone accepted the existence of the emperor and accepted that the emperor was the supreme ruler.
As the prime minister, An Zisheng has dominated the government for decades. He knows better than anyone what the biggest problem facing the country's development is right now.
That's royal bloodsucking.
The royal family has become the biggest obstacle to the country's development. It is like a blood-sucking worm, constantly sucking the fat and blood of the people.
An Zisheng was not the only smart person in the entire court, but other officials did not realize this because they had never thought about it.
In their hearts, from the books they have read since childhood, loyalty to the emperor and serving the country has become a concept deeply rooted in their souls.
However, because of the many books that Lin Ye showed him when he was in Shangyang City, including the so-called "Das Kapital" and some books on constitutional monarchy, An Zisheng's thoughts became different from those of other officials.
He clearly realized that the royal family had become a cancer that hindered the country from becoming more prosperous.
The royal family should not enjoy such great benefits.
Constitutional monarchy is a good choice.
But An Zisheng knew better that if constitutional monarchy was to be implemented, the first point was that the royal family had to accept and cooperate. However, Emperor Chengshan would definitely not agree to it. Emperor Chengshan had more than 30 princes, and his descendants would not agree to it either.
Looking at the entire royal family, the only one who might agree is the Thirteenth Princess.
An Zisheng found Liang Ziqing, but even if Liang Ziqing was no longer greedy for power, she was still a member of the royal family. Naturally, she would not easily agree to An Zisheng's request and watch the royal family go from holding real power to becoming a mascot.
Therefore, An Zisheng proposed a bet. He told Liang Ziqing that the royal family did not treat you as a relative, especially Emperor Chengshan, who wanted to get rid of you as soon as possible.
Liang Ziqing didn't believe it. She knew that her brother was still somewhat jealous of her, but he would not do anything to her, and besides, the Queen Mother was there.
So the two of them made this bet.
According to the bet, if Emperor Chengshan took action against Liang Ziqing, and the Queen Mother and other elders of the royal family remained indifferent, then Liang Ziqing would cooperate with An Zisheng to implement the constitutional monarchy.
She will be the first empress, and also the first empress without real power.
In order to keep this bet, An Zisheng pretended to be sick and concealed it from the imperial physician sent by Emperor Chengshan. The report Emperor Chengshan received was that An Zisheng's life span would not exceed one month.
It was not until after receiving this information that Emperor Chengshan finally could no longer sit still and began to take action against Liang Ziqing.
First Liang Ziqing, then An Zisheng.
Only by eliminating these two people can Emperor Chengshan truly hold power.
But what Emperor Chengshan didn't know was that almost all of his so-called confidants were An Zishen's people.
"You've learned bad habits, you must have had this idea for a long time."
Lin Ye looked at An Zisheng meaningfully. Liang Ziqing was afraid that he had fallen into An Zisheng's trap. From the fact that everyone around Emperor Chengshan was An Zisheng's pawn, it could be seen that An Zisheng's plan for today's situation was definitely not an idea he had when he first proposed the bet.
As long as Liang Ziqing agreed to the bet, she would definitely lose, because even if Emperor Chengshan did not have a strong desire to kill her at the beginning, the chess pieces arranged by An Zisheng would lead Emperor Chengshan to this step step by step.
The easiest way is to spread slander, saying that the people in the capital only know how to be grateful to the Thirteenth Princess and that all officials respect the Thirteenth Princess very much.
If you say this too many times, Emperor Chengshan will feel the urge to kill even if he doesn't have the urge to do so.
This guy has become very cunning now that he is old.
"So, Prime Minister An, you did this on purpose?"
After Lin Ye's reminder, Liang Ziqing finally reacted and glared at An Zisheng with his phoenix eyes.
"Princess, calm down. Although I am an old minister who is fanning the flames, if Your Majesty has no such intention, what use is there for me to fan the flames?"
" I am just fanning the flames. The most I can do is fan the flames. Your Majesty already has this fire in his heart."
Liang Ziqing was deflated at once. An Zisheng was right. If the emperor had no intention of killing her, it would be useless no matter how outsiders fanned the flames.
"You guys can handle the royal family's affairs yourselves. I won't interfere. But since the people from Zhenqing Sect are here, I will go and meet these two people."
With Lin Ye's current strength, he could not hide the presence of two powerful Yuanshen realm masters in the palace . What's more, An Zisheng had spies in the palace and had long known that Emperor Chengshan had invited two powerful masters from Zhenqing Sect.
Lin Ye stood up, but when he walked out of the door, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Old An, it wasn't you who gave the idea to Emperor Chengshan to find someone from Zhenqing Sect, was it?"
An Zisheng's old face twitched for a moment, with an aggrieved expression: "Do you think I'm such a person?"
"It wasn't like that before, but it may not be the case now."
An Zisheng: ...
Palace!
Lin Ye's spiritual sense also captured Emperor Chengshan leading a large number of troops to the An Mansion. He had no interest in this Emperor Chengshan. With An Zisheng's current level, several Emperor Chengshans were no match for him.
One step into the backyard of the palace.
In the backyard, two old men were drinking tea and admiring the moon. The next moment, they both looked towards a pavilion in the middle of a pool.
There, a young man appeared.
There was a hint of horror in the two old eyes. With their level of cultivation, they did not even notice how this person appeared. If he had not appeared in the pavilion, they would probably not notice anything at all.
"May I ask who you are, Senior?"
Although the other party looked like a young man, the two did not think so. They believed that this person's strength was definitely not inferior to theirs and he must be an old senior who had practiced for many years.
"Aren't you here for me? Now I am here."
"Are you Lin Ye?"
The two old men were shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
