Chapter 464 Unique Insights
So the current emperor was not prepared at all. But when the emperor thought about it carefully, he realized that he had been preparing for so many years, but where had he gotten all this time? He had gained nothing.
The Emperor originally wanted to groom Zhang Xingchen, but Zhang Xingchen was too naive and lacked any unique insights into anything.
But now the Emperor is different. Ever since he met Chen Er, the Emperor has known that as long as he is willing to work hard, he can definitely get what he wants from this young man.
The Emperor hesitated for a long time, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He carefully considered the pros and cons before cautiously asking the question.
"Chen Er, I would like to, but you know how ruthless the Empress Dowager is. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sidelined by Wei Zhongxian without even realizing it."
The emperor wasn't stupid. If his real power was being usurped, then Wei Zhongxian alone couldn't possibly have done it.
So, if you say that the Empress Dowager wasn't involved in this matter, only a fool would believe it. That's why the Emperor wanted to kill Wei Zhongxian.
After all, the Empress Dowager was his birth mother, and the Emperor would never harm his own mother unless he was forced to.
"Alright, since you are so confident and ambitious, then I have an idea. Wei Zhongxian's most arrogant people right now are his Five Tiger Generals. If we eliminate all of Wei Zhongxian's Five Tiger Generals..."
"Then send away all the Jianghu figures that Wei Zhongxian has gathered. Then we only need to deal with the people from the Eastern Depot."
This was one of the solutions that Chen Er came up with after a long period of consideration.
Of course, in the Emperor's eyes, this plan was too risky. It's likely that Wei Zhongxian had already sensed the danger before the Emperor even took action.
At that time, it will not only be a fight to the death, but eliminating the Five Tiger Generals will not be so easy.
Just as the Emperor was about to speak, he heard Chen Er say again, "Your Majesty, don't be so pessimistic. You have no idea whether you can do something well until you try it out."
"So, I still hope you can carefully consider my plan. Of course, don't worry, we will always do things fairly. I hope you can listen to my advice this time."
Chen Er's voice was very serious, with a gentle quality that made the emperor feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze. The emperor's eyes were slightly red. To be honest, the emperor dreamed of getting rid of Wei Zhongxian.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhongxian was already deeply entrenched in the court, and it was not so easy to get rid of him.
"Your Majesty, if you don't agree, just pretend I didn't say anything. Besides, I only need to rest in my room for a few days before I can go out. I'm not too concerned about your affairs."
Chen Er's voice stunned everyone around him; no one had expected it. Chen Er had become so extraordinary.
They could negotiate face-to-face with the emperor and speak their minds: "Let me tell you, if I really get rid of Wei Zhongxian, then Wei Zhongxian's position will be yours."
The Emperor knew perfectly well why Chen Er was helping him so earnestly; it was all because Chen Er had always wanted to rise to the top.
Chen Er always wanted to be the master of the people, which is why he worked so hard and spared no effort to challenge Wei Zhongxian.
It all comes down to who has the greater strength this time, which is why the Emperor wants to kill Sun Yunhe.
At this moment, the muscles on Wei Zhongxian's cheeks twitched several times. It's probably impossible for anyone to know exactly what Wei Zhongxian's feelings were for Sun Yunhe.
From the very beginning, Sun Yunhe was short of money for food, which caught the eye of Wei Zhongxian. He eventually became one of Wei Zhongxian's favorites and is now one of the Five Tiger Generals.
Ever since Sun Yunhe joined Wei Zhongxian's side, every time a martial arts figure attempted to assassinate Wei Zhongxian, he was easily killed by Sun Yunhe.
Sun Yunhe was practically Wei Zhongxian's savior. Now that the emperor wanted to kill his benefactor, it would be strange if Wei Zhongxian wasn't upset.
"Your Majesty, why don't we sit down and talk things over? There's still room for maneuver in this matter. Besides, as you just saw, it wasn't our fault at all."
“It was all Zhang Xingchen who brought people to cause trouble. I hope Your Majesty can investigate thoroughly and clear my name.”
Wei Zhongxian wasn't stupid. When he heard the emperor say he wanted to punish Sun Yunhe, he absolutely refused.
"I know the extent of the conflict between you and Chen Er. I must make an example of Sun Yunhe." The Emperor said indifferently.
This really startled Sun Yunhe. He kept trying to signal to Wei Zhongxian, but that damned Wei Zhongxian...
Just like a blind man, unable to see clearly at all, Sun Yunhe has given up all hope.
When Sun Yunhe once asked Wei Zhongxian for help, he saw Wei Zhongxian shaking his head repeatedly at him, which was quite obvious.
Wei Zhongxian wanted Sun Yunhe to cooperate with the emperor in investigating who was responsible for this incident.
If this matter continues to escalate, even the Emperor will find it difficult to extricate himself, because Wei Zhongxian's influence is far too great.
There's a saying that goes, "Punishment should not be imposed on the masses," which illustrates this point.
The reason why Wei Zhongxian has been so arrogant in recent years is because he has too many skilled people around him.
Sun Yunhe's eyes were already wet, but he knew he had to accept the truth of the matter.
"Your Majesty, I confess that I sent the assassins to kill Chen Er, and I also confess that the man named Zhang Tianfei was the one who tried to assassinate you last year. Please, Your Majesty, sentence me to death."
Anyone who followed Wei Zhongxian for a living, as long as they were willing to risk their lives, would ultimately be considered to have sacrificed themselves for Wei Zhongxian.
Then Wei Zhongxian would definitely not mistreat your family. Although Wei Zhongxian was a big traitor, he treated his subordinates exceptionally well. The emperor immediately smiled.
Although Sun Yunhe took the blame, the emperor was very dissatisfied, clearly indicating that Wei Zhongxian's plan was very shrewd.
