The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 144 Better Life
The Qinglong King said: "If you don't want to go back, go to my previous palace and rest. I will send someone to take you there."

Li Jin looked very serious, and he seldom had such a serious look: "Why?"

It took him so long to get used to the rules and etiquette here, forcing himself to accept such a distinct social status, but he still couldn't accept it, the supreme imperial power that could determine life and death with one word.

Ever since he met this man, he has always been aloof. He has a great bearing, is calm and composed, and says what he says. In the Qinglong King's fiefdom, no one dares to disobey his orders.

Li Jin always thought that he was such a person, that he was born to be looked up to, but since he came to this capital, the quiet man began to become humble and respectful, facing a girl who was much younger than himself, he could never Bending your knees without hesitation, you will not feel that there is anything wrong at all.

At this moment, he is kneeling here. In Li Jin's view, kneeling is an extremely humiliating behavior.

Li Jin has no way to accept this kind of system, no way to kneel to anyone, let alone accept that a superior person puts himself in such a humble position.

imperial power--

He has never been so clearly aware of the moment that the imperial power in the feudal era is really supreme and cannot be violated.

Si Zhuoyuan said lightly, with his straight back as if he would never bend: "The reason why I want to hand over the power of Qinglong Palace to His Majesty is that I am worried that the power in the hands of the four kings will be too powerful to make His Majesty jealous. Li Jin, Chen Qiang Being weak is a big taboo for the king, Your Majesty is too young, in the eyes of everyone, if the four kings have a different heart one day, she will not be able to sit firmly on the throne."

Li Jin smiled: "But she doesn't want it."

"Yes, she doesn't want it." Si Zhuoyuan said, with a faint smile lingering in his tone: "Not only didn't she want it, she was also angry."

After being silent for a while, sitting on the bench behind him, Li Jin said: "I have read many books, history books, countless dynasties, countless monarchs and ministers, countless changes of the times, intriguing palaces and officialdom, dynasties. The ups and downs, the pursuit of power and status, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers... I have seen many, many."

Looking at the man's slightly stiff back, he turned his head and looked into the distance, and said softly: "I haven't experienced this, but I have seen that many people will do anything for the sake of power and status, and they can give everything for that supreme position. In the end, he ended up as a lonely family.”

"Si Zhuoyuan, in my hometown, everyone is equal, there is no superiority or inferiority, no one will decide life or death with one word, and no one will ransack the family and exterminate the family at every turn. The place is peaceful and peaceful, and the existence of the army gives the people a sense of stability. Life provides the greatest protection, and of course, there must be darkness..."

Li Jin smiled: "There will always be places in this world where the sun doesn't shine, but ordinary people can't easily touch that level."

He is not an ordinary person, he has been exposed to all the darkness in the world, but he still likes it there.

Si Zhuoyuan didn't speak. He couldn't imagine what kind of place it was. Nobility and loyalty were engraved in his bones. He didn't think there was anything wrong with such a system. In front of Her Majesty, he wouldn't have any breach.

"Si Zhuoyuan, I will never give my loyalty to anyone. Whether it is you or the young queen of Yan Kingdom, you don't have to expect me to serve her. This strange place is a little better."
