Father Jin saw the embarrassment of the leader of the Secret Guard and suddenly turned to look at Gu Yan and asked, "Lord, what do you mean?"
Everyone was stunned at the same time. They didn't expect Father Jin to suddenly ask Gu Yan. However, the word "Lord" also shocked everyone.
Yes, Gu Yan is the current lord!
Doesn't something like this require the decision of the current lord?
Why did we ignore Lord Gu Yan just now?
It can be seen how unpopular Gu Yan is as a lord.
After all, it was Lord Gu Yan who did not receive everyone's recognition.
How can one win the support of the people if he has no real ability and relies on conspiracy and trickery to gain power?
However, the question asked by the head of the Jin family was a stroke of genius!
Especially the leader of the secret guard, who was leading the last elite of the Gu family. When he was faced with this dilemma and was at a loss, Father Jin rescued him and found a scapegoat.
Strictly speaking, he wasn't a scapegoat, because, whether it was the Gu family or the territory, Gu Yan was the master. He was the one who could make the decisions. He, on the other hand, was merely an elder of the family and a retainer of the territory, and he had no right to make the decisions.
When he was confronting Father Jin just now, he was really thinking about actually controlling the Gu family and the entire territory in the future. After all, Gu Yan was too disappointing. Just like the head of the Jin family said, if you don't step down, there is no hope for the family and the territory!
However, although he has this intention, he has not yet put it into practice!
This leaves room for reversal.
Wu Zheng looked at Father Jin who had already taken control of the situation and sighed again.
He thought to himself, "Sure enough, this is the real you! Your words are like knives, not cutting off people's fate but cutting off their hearts! You are good at using open strategies, like to follow the trend, take advantage of the situation, form alliances, and strike with one blow."
Wu Zheng sighed inwardly, "I've only seen this kind of grace once, during the Thirty-Six Oaths!"
“This is the second time!”
"It's still so dazzling, I'm willing to admit defeat, we're in this together, and I'm proud of it!"
"Moreover, he has high moral character, does not kill, keeps his word, and shares the benefits equally. How can such a person not make the lord wary and his colleagues jealous?"
Wu Zheng became a military advisor not only because of his talent, but also because his lord was afraid of Jin's father.
Therefore, Jin Fu left his lord early, which saved himself, made Wu Zheng successful, and also fulfilled his lord's character.
Therefore, it is really hard for people to dislike Jin's father! Whether it is his friend or his enemy!
Gu Yan, who had originally been a background figure and was already filled with regret for losing the system, suddenly became the focus of everyone again because of a word from Jin's father.
Gu Yan looked at everyone at a loss, feeling as if he was in a wilderness, surrounded by corpses. He was like a weak prey that had been discovered by the zombies and began to hunt him. The zombies were filled with murderous intent, and the powerful murderous aura filled the air around him, making him feel suffocated.
"You, you are not human, you are corpse demons, you are corpse demons! Human-eating corpse demons! Go away, go away, all of you go away! Don't eat me, don't eat me!"
Gu Yan went crazy again!
Who could be fooled by such a clown-like performance? Even the three uninformed subjects realized that Gu Yan was not truly crazy.
Wu Zheng shook his head. This disciple was truly an embarrassment to him! Although he had some selfish motives when teaching him, he had taught him everything he needed to, without holding anything back.
He still has this bit of professional ethics! Moreover, if he wasn't a real talent and taught with all his heart, how could the lord have allowed him to teach Master Gu Yan for so many years?
Back then, both the lord and he felt that Gu Yan was intelligent, talented, and would have a bright future.
But, unexpectedly, he was just a show-off, having only learned the basics. When things got tough, his true colors showed up immediately! He only used such low-level and despicable tactics, which only added to the jokes!
Father Jin didn't embarrass Gu Yan. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect the lord to be suffering from hysteria at such a young age. How sad! The lord is incapable of governing with such an illness. I propose that we follow the example of the ancients and form a parliament to manage the territory on behalf of the lord and the shogunate."
Father Jin hadn't counted on Gu Yan at all. It would be best if he voluntarily abdicated, admitted defeat, and made way for someone more capable. But if he didn't actively cooperate, that wouldn't matter either. The general trend was clear, so he could be forced to abdicate.
It's just a different method, but for him, there is no difference.
However, for Gu Yan, the difference is huge.
Gu Yan, he gave up his last bit of face and his last glimmer of hope!
Father Jin hated Gu Yan because he was such a fool who plotted against his master. But he also felt sorry for him because this was his only blood. If he died, his family would be cut off!
So, Father Jin had been giving Gu Yan choices, letting him choose his own ending. However, I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as him. He had several chances to choose, but he didn't choose a path to life, only a path to death. What could he do?!
Since he didn't want this last chance, then the favor of the lord has been repaid. From now on, there's nothing left for you to do! You'll have to take care of yourself!
As soon as Mr. Jin made the proposal, the conference hall immediately fell into a buzz of whispers.
"Parliamentary system? King Wu's parliamentary system?"
“It should be that parliamentary system!”
"Haha, the name is the same, but the two are completely different! In the parliamentary system of King Wu's era, power was in the hands of King Wu, and the parliament was just borrowing King Wu's power. However, in the parliamentary system proposed by Lord Jin, the power lies in the parliament. How can our lord be compared with King Wu? He is just a puppet!"
"Mr. Gu Yan, what an unfortunate fate!"
"What's the point of saying he has a bad fate? He has only one fate! The fate of a puppet! Whether it's the Wu brothers, the head of the Jin family, or within the Gu family, no matter where he is, he has the fate of a puppet!"
"Alas, it's a waste of more than ten years of hard work by the old lord, the master, and Gu Qing. Gu Yan ruined it in just a few days!"
"Who can be blamed for this? If children and grandchildren are unfilial, how can there be any good results?"
"It was because you, my lord, took the initiative to give in and didn't fight for the position of lord that you sowed the seeds of disaster!"
"It's all Gu Yan's fault for his evil intentions and improper position. What does this have to do with the lord?"
"Alas, no matter what, from now on, it will be the Jin family's world."
"The Jin family has three war captains, strong enough to suppress the territory. If he doesn't take the position, he will be courting his own death! After all, there is a lesson from the past!"
"However, I didn't expect that the Jin family actually planned to implement a parliamentary system. Even if Gu Yan is a puppet, he is still a hidden danger!"
"Hidden danger? How is that possible? If you can think of it, how could someone as wise as the Jin family master not think of it? Naturally, we can solve the problem once and for all!"
