Chapter 1020 A new emperor chooses his own ministers [Additional chapter for leader Xiao Yueyue who loves to eat braised pork! ]

Feng Yun smiled bitterly.

There is some truth to what Chen Xue said, "You found a good husband."

This is the real situation. With Chen Yin's original status, his greatest achievement in this life is to become the young master of the Chen family, the patriarch of the Chen family, and be in charge of one side of the Weiwo Zhengjiao, or be in charge of the headquarters.

This is the peak he can see and reach!

Going up, there is absolutely no chance! Even if Feng Yun, Feng Xing, Yan Beihan, Bi Feng and others died, he still had no chance!
Because he was the third child in the Chen family after all. Even if he killed the first and second children and became the head of the family, he was still the third child after all!

There will be no possibility of coveting the throne.

However, the combination of Chen Xue and Feng Yun showed him a shortcut to success! Moreover, the Chen family's Illusionary Heart Technique is top secret!
He was sure no one knew!
In fact, in the Chen family, the only people who knew about the Illusionary Heart Art were the absolute direct descendants of the Chen family. And the origin of the Illusionary Heart Art was not passed down by the ancestor Chen Gu.

Rather, it was a martial art that the Chen family accidentally obtained in a secret realm, and immediately treasured and never revealed to the public!
He never thought that Feng Yun would know about this. Because even Chen Xue didn't know about this!

Chen Xue leaned in Feng Yun's arms and cried for a long time.

Then he said softly: "Feng Yun, I'm sorry."

"Say sorry to me too? We've been married for over 80 years."

Feng Yun smiled faintly: "Don't worry, from now on, this matter is over."

Chen Xue sobbed, still feeling a little upset, but she couldn't continue crying because the person who was hurt the most by this incident was actually Feng Yun.

Although Chen Xue herself was hurt, it was indeed because of her marriage that she had such inappropriate thoughts. But Feng Yun had found a wife and thus brought about an unexpected disaster.

Trying to calm down, he said, "Just now he...he said that Xiaohan and Yemo..."

Feng Yun smiled and said, "You believe this too?"

Chen Xue bit her lip and said, "I don't believe it."

"Ye Mo is loyal to Yan Beihan, this is true."

Feng Yun said: "However, Ye Mo is from our orthodox religion! This is enough for me. For example, Ye Feng and Ye Yun of your Chen family are indeed servants of your Chen family, but Deputy Chief Sect Leader Yan can dispatch them at will."

“What’s more, the Night Demon is a position in the Sole Orthodox Church and does not belong to Yan Beihan’s family.”

"So...don't worry."

Feng Yun was full of confidence and said, "Although it is not appropriate to say this in the Weiwo Zhengjiao, but... don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ. This is also the attitude that a superior must have. If you don't have a broad mind, how can you handle the world? If you don't have a broad mind, how can you control the world?"

“If I am to die in the future, I may die at the hands of Chen Yun, Bi Feng, Feng Xingxue, Chang Qing Yuyang and others, or I may die from the sniper attack of the guardian; but the most unlikely thing is to die at the hands of Yan Beihan and Ye Mo!”

"Night Demon, I am giving him a chance and treasure now, because I want him to become my Duan Xi Yang."

Feng Yun's eyes fixed, and he whispered: "Perhaps, Ye Mo's future will be stronger than that of Duan Shouzuo!"

"Chen Xue, Ye Mo is one of my generals. If the ruler and his subjects become alienated from each other with such a powerful weapon, it will be a serious matter. Because I cannot command the real high-level masters in the sect now."

Feng Yun smiled bitterly: "For example, Duan Shouzuo, Kuang Renji, Sun Zong Protector, Bing Tianxue, etc. I can't command them. The highest level of cultivation that I can command calmly is Tianwang Xiao Ning Zaifei. But Ning Zaifei was suppressed because he made a mistake some time ago."

"And Duan Xiyang, Sun Wutian, Bing Tianxue, Kuang Renji, etc....especially the first three, each of them can take advantage of their seniority in front of me, and even scold me, hit me a few times, and I have to endure it with a smile on my face. After so many years, this cannot be changed. The old seniors are the old seniors. And I am just a junior."

"Even if I really take the position of head of teaching affairs in the future, I will still face the same situation when facing Duan Xiyang and others. If I am the head of teaching affairs in front of thousands of people, what if Sun Wutian pats me on the head and says: Good boy, you are ordering me around? How should I deal with it?"

"How can I establish my authority? If that happens once, I will never be able to establish my authority again in my lifetime. So, when that happens, I can only selectively discard these old guys within my authority. At least I won't use them for general matters."

"Even if we really need it, we will go to see Vice-Chief Master Yan and ask him to give the order."

"But if you ask for help from Vice-Chief Master Yan for a long time, then what use do you have for me? It would be better for him to be in charge all the time. This is even more of a question of my ability."

"But I have to face the complicated situation outside. Not only do I have to face the extraordinary wisdom of Dongfang Military Advisor, but I also have to face the top military power of Xue Fu, Xiao Rui, Qian Shan and others, and even countless masters from the Divine Weasel Sect and the Spirit Snake Sect!"

"But facing countless masters in this world, what's the point if I can only command those below the eighth on the Cloud Weapon Chart? If I really take power in the future, do I need to keep flattering those old monsters and begging them to take action?"

"That is impossible."

"By the same token, I cannot use the masters of our Feng family, because if I use them, it will inevitably lead to an imbalance among the nine major families. Using them once is no different from using them a hundred or ten thousand times. It only takes one time for other families to smell the scent and counterattack. It won't take too long for it to cause a fatal backlash to the rule. I can't bear that kind of backlash either."

"So, now it seems that I don't have any high-level power that can decide the outcome of the game."

"So I must have a top master of my own." Feng Yun took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling, and whispered: "And Ye Mo is my first choice! Why is Ye Mo the first choice? He has enough potential. He was my subordinate in Dongnan. He naturally grew up with me and supported me all the way to the top. This is one reason. Second, Ye Mo's heart will never be with me, but with Yan Beihan. But in that case, everyone in the sect can rest assured!"

What he didn't say was: Ye Mo married Yan Beihan, and he was a relative of the Weiwo Orthodox Church. And relatives of the Weiwo Orthodox Church could not be in power. The only person who could give him authority and allow him to display his abilities and ambitions was himself!
This is a natural complement.

Yan Nan can rest assured, Yan Beihan can rest assured, and all the deputy chief leaders can rest assured! One person can achieve the balance in all aspects.

"It's his strength that I want."

"Yan Beihan wants his people and his loyalty."

“So there is no conflict.”

"In the future, as I grow step by step, Night Demon will also rise step by step with me. In this way, in the end, we will form an inseparable group that supports each other. He will be harmed without me, and I will be weak without him. And this is exactly the situation that Yan Beihan, who will be in charge of supervising the sect at that time, will be most satisfied with."

"This is also a situation that Vice-Chief Master Yan is most relieved about. All the Vice-Chief Masters are relieved about it."

"Then by then, the three of us, Ye Mo, Yan Beihan, will be an iron triangle! Perfectly supporting and sharply counteracting all pressure from the outside, and perfectly facing all the storms within the sect."

Feng Yun took a deep breath and said, "What I want now is the iron triangle in decades or even hundreds of years! And I must accomplish it! Therefore, I must pave this path from now on. Otherwise, even if I take power in the future, my voice and authority will not be enough."

"This is……"

Feng Yun said softly: "...A new emperor chooses new ministers!!"

Although there are some things he cannot say explicitly, but now that things have come to this point, everything is clear.

"So that's how it is." Chen Xue understood.

She was very smart and understood everything after hearing the seven words "a new emperor, new ministers".

There are many things that are hard to give examples of. Without examples, it is like a fog, but with precedents, it becomes clear.

Feng Yun’s worries and future predicament can be best described in these seven words.

After all, it is impossible for him to be like a real emperor, who would purge the court and get rid of all the old ministers after the new emperor replaced the old one. After all, those old guys are the pillars of his orthodox religion.

But I kept them all and couldn't give them any orders.

“So in the future, you and Yan Beihan must have a good relationship! You must never treat Ye Mo as a subordinate. You must be a good sister-in-law!”

Feng Yun Chunchun reminded him, "I will create opportunities for you. You have dealt with the Night Demon before; after you go out, you will follow Yan Beihan to conquer the World Mountain Gate again... You will definitely have to deal with the Night Demon again. So in this regard, I still need you to make up for it for me."

Feng Yun said softly: "You are the only one who can make up for the weakest and most crucial link in my great cause! Because you are my wife. Chen Xue, I once said: It is not easy to be Feng Yun's wife."

"I will definitely do it!"

Chen Xue's depressed heart slowly began to unravel.

The two never mentioned Chen Yin again, not even a single word.

They snuggled together like this, in the pavilion during the rainstorm, quietly watching the sky and earth change color.

Feng Yun embraced Chen Xue, feeling calm.

Thinking of Chen Yin, he admitted that he really liked Chen Xue, because... if he had used his previous methods, Chen Yin would have been a dead man by now, and a pile of rotten meat.

But for Chen Xue's sake, he still let Chen Yin go.

Feng Yun showed a bitter smile and said silently in his heart: "Be soft-hearted for Xue'er three times. Once for my big brother, once for my little brother, once for my parents... This is the first time."

He knew very well that it was a mistake for him to let Chen Yin go.

But he was also unwilling to obliterate the tender side of his relationship with his wife.

Feng Yun knew one thing very well: if he lost his humanity, then even if he ruled the world, it would be meaningless.

While holding supreme power, one must also be a living, flesh-and-blood, emotional person.

This was Feng Yun's highest pursuit, and his pursuit was precisely because of the sense of crisis brought to him by the Five Spirit Gu.

But Feng Yun also has his own persistence: Even if you are the closest person to me, please don’t make me unbearable!
