The two men who had murderous looks on their faces and were on the verge of a fight just now, now looked like eggplants hit by frost, with their heads drooping, not even daring to breathe, and could only obediently order their men to quickly get the banknotes.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling couldn't help but smack his lips and make a "tsk" sound.
I thought to myself: It’s really like that!
No matter in which time and space, any arrogant and domineering person will eventually have his nemesis.
In ancient times, the nemesis of powerful young men was either the high and mighty prince or the emperor who held the power of life and death.
As long as it did not affect the imperial power and people's livelihood, the emperor would turn a blind eye most of the time.
However, warnings or making examples of others are still needed from time to time, so that those in power do not forget who is in charge.
I had been looking forward to the two of them fighting to the death, so that I could watch the fun and have some fun during this period of boredom.
Who would have thought that things would turn out like this... It's so boring!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ling couldn't help but sigh heavily, with an expression of regret on his face.
Yue Qianli, who was standing by, took in Jiang Ling's reaction and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
I only heard him speak slowly in a low and calm voice:
"I think those two gentlemen just now have always disliked each other and have been holding grudges for a long time.
Therefore, during a fight, one will unconsciously bring in a bit of murderous intent.
You know, swords don't have eyes. Even if you can't kill with one strike, it's still a pleasure to cause serious injury to the opponent."
Having said that, Yue Qianli paused for a moment, then continued:
“In fact, on the surface, the court appears to be peaceful and harmonious, but in reality, there are undercurrents and unpredictable situations.
The relationships among those powerful people are complicated and often just a single word could lead to their destruction.
As for the smiling face with a dagger hidden in the heart, it is not uncommon and is not surprising.
However, what they didn't expect today was that two nosy guys would show up, and they had something on them or had more power than them.
So, they had no choice but to stop fighting and pay compensation."
Yes, Yue Qianli was once a prince.
Although he was far away from the court, he still had some knowledge of the various tricks and rules involved.
It was precisely because he didn't want those smiling but treacherous people and the intrigues that he chose to go to the battlefield. He was gone for ten years, and when he returned, he was granted a marriage and then exiled.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but nodded, that's right!
His Lao Yue was once a prince after all. How could the tricks played by those young masters of noble families escape his keen eyes?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ling couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Ah, his Lao Yue is really a pitiful prince!"
Doesn’t that Xiling Emperor deserve to die?
He is incompetent, narrow-minded, and very jealous. He cannot tolerate his brothers who fight for him on the battlefield.
With such an emperor, the fate of Xiling Kingdom may be tragic. Either it will be captured by Dongzhao Kingdom, or it will be destroyed by itself.
He is really not a wise monarch who works for the country and the people.
Jiangling’s biggest wish is actually world peace!
He hated the disaster and suffering that war brought.
No matter in which time and space, his wish has never changed.
Only when the people at the top are wise and do something can the people below live a stable and happy life.
If the person above is a person who is indifferent to political affairs, confused and without talent, or a warmonger who is keen on war and thinks about unifying the world all day long.
If this continues, wars will inevitably be launched frequently, leading to the people's livelihood being in dire straits and suffering.
In Jiang Ling's eyes, such a person is a disaster to the country and the people. It is not impossible to eliminate him and establish a wise and capable leader.
After all, throughout history, there have been countless people who aspire to sit in that position.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ling suddenly asked:
"Lao Yue, tell me the truth, if you have the opportunity to sit in that position, would you be willing?
You are the prince of Xiling Kingdom, and the reason why Xiling Kingdom is what it is today is due to your great contributions!
Until now, you have been framed and exiled by the emperor. If you are unwilling to accept this, we can return to the capital together to seek revenge and take over the throne!"
When Jiang Ling said this, he actually thought about it for a long time. If it were his enemy, he would definitely not let him go.
However, when he first arrived, he did not understand Xiling at that time. If the emperor of a country suddenly died, would the world collapse? Would the people of Xiling suffer even more?
Part of the reason was that his special abilities at the time did not allow him to do more of what he wanted to do.
For some reason today, some emotions deep in his heart were quietly touched, and he finally said these words.
Upon hearing Jiang Ling's words, Yue Qianli was stunned for a moment, feeling a little confused.
Why would such a topic be brought up so abruptly?
What on earth had caused such a huge impact on his family Jiang Ling's mood?
Thinking back to when he was first poisoned, framed and exiled, Yue Qianli did feel resentful about the unfair treatment he had suffered, and thoughts of revenge flashed through his mind from time to time.
However, today, after more than a year of exile, he has long since let go of the past.
For him, this kind of ordinary and peaceful life now is the real happiness.
Yue Qianli smiled slightly, feeling extremely happy, and replied softly, "No need. These days are the happiest time of my life. I don't want to return to the capital, nor do I intend to fight for that so-called position.
Looking back, the twenty years I spent as a prince seemed to have been wasted.
On the contrary, it is not as interesting and fulfilling as the exile life of just one year.
Besides, at this moment, I am already satisfied just to be with you."
After saying that, he gently stretched out his hand and slowly stroked Jiang Ling's hair, his eyes full of affection and attachment.
Jiang Ling could hear Yue Qianli's relaxed and happy mood, so he understood.
Yue Qianli really has no interest in power and status.
Okay, then let’s take him to live a godly life of farming.
You can also travel around from time to time to see the beautiful scenery and things in this world and taste all the delicious food.
It's better than staying in the same place all your life, even if you have great power, so what?
Not a ruthless tool...
Thinking of this, a cold look flashed in Jiang Ling's eyes.
