The doctor suffers from amnesia, but not complete amnesia.

That's why this meeting took place.

Just as he said, he really didn't dare to gamble on whether letting the Grand Commandant's side get into trouble was what Qiao Yelan wanted.

This time he was right – Qiao Yelan really didn't want to see the Grand Commandant being overthrown by the Emperor at this time, and even more so, that a bunch of loyal ministers of the Great Yan would fall with him.

Replacing an excellent crown prince with an incompetent emperor caused the Great Yan Dynasty to stagnate for six years. If a major purge were carried out on the military, along with the likes of the Duke of Ningguo and the Marquis of Pingchong, the Great Yan Dynasty would not only suffer a minor injury, but would also be undermining its own foundation.

This is a hole that can't be filled with just Lungmen Dollars. In fact, after such internal strife broke out in the Great Yan, it's questionable whether it can even support the continued circulation of Lungmen Dollars.

At this moment, the Great Yan Dynasty cannot fall, nor can it show even the slightest weakness.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Qiao Yelan sighed.

You have to carefully protect a certain piece of char siu in your spot so that it doesn't get taken away by someone else—it feels like I've heard some roommate complain about this kind of ridiculous thing before.

Moreover, both the Imperial Household Department and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were responsible for submitting their own memorials to the emperor. Tracing back to the source, they were indeed partly to blame for this situation.

Oh no, I tripped over the dirt that was dug out of the hole again.

What should I do...?

If you want to conceal the presence of a landmine, the best way is...

Set a bigger bomb next to him and let it explode.

Qiao Yelan clapped his hands.

Your Excellency, it's decided that you'll take the blame for this.

The old man felt a chill in his heart, but was at a loss for what to do.

What happened?

The Grand Tutor was unaware of this, but he had a bad feeling.

"I have come up with a good idea... but it might require the Grand Tutor to suffer a little injustice."

The Grand Tutor's ominous premonition grew even stronger.

"Wh...what method?"

He didn't believe it was a "good" solution.

"Let [hope] out."

You woman horse!

The Grand Tutor slammed his hand on the table.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

He said firmly.

Unfortunately, he was facing an evil spirit that was most adept at persuasion.

"Do you have any other good ideas?"

Qiao Yelan countered with a question.

"I...I really don't have any good ideas, but this is absolutely not an option, there's no room for discussion!"

“That guy isn’t like [Ji], at least under your education and management, he’s been fairly well-behaved. But [Wang] is different! The disappearance of [Jie] back then wasn’t just—”

The Grand Tutor didn't finish his sentence because he knew there was another Jupiter outside, so he not only lowered his voice but also left half of it unsaid.

"Wang has no feelings for Da Yan. We can only get along peacefully for the time being because he, like Da Yan, regards Sui as an enemy. And his way of doing things is completely different from others!"

"Once he's released, with his current mastery of [Spirit Art] and his skillful manipulation of his own soul, he can hide inside anything and possess other people, turning any unexpected individual into his pawn at a crucial moment!"

"Oh, you mean me?"

A knowing smile appeared on Qiao Yelan's face.

"But I don't need to resort to such a despicable trick as possession."

The Grand Tutor's voice abruptly stopped.

The man's smile grew even gentler, but his voice carried an undeniable confidence.

The old man fell silent, but continued to stare intently at Qiao Yelan.

“You and I both know that this Si Sui Tai (a platform for controlling the year) cannot contain Wang. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to me at the beginning of the year hoping that I could help you play against Wang. You know very well that you are making preparations, and Wang is also making preparations.”

“Since this is going to happen sooner or later, why not send out our hopes while we still have a chance? That way, at least his preparations aren’t complete yet, otherwise he would have left already.”

When Qiao Yelan's words reached the Grand Tutor's ears, they already made some sense.

After all, one side is well-prepared while the other is only half-prepared, so naturally, the other side has the advantage at the start of the game.

"Moreover, letting him out now can help the Grand Commandant cover for himself. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"

"But given Wang's methods and abilities, doing this is like drinking poison to quench thirst—you yourself said you're about to leave Da Yan. Without your deterrence, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause!"

Uh, actually no—because the guy we released was also counting on me to deal with you.

Qiao Yelan felt a pang of sympathy for the Grand Tutor for a second, but her face remained serious.

"I know, that's why I brought an undercover agent with me, isn't it?"

Undercover?

The Grand Tutor subconsciously looked out of the courtyard.

"You mean... Ji? He and Wang are brothers."

"Of course it's about performance. You don't need to worry about him being sidelined—you don't think I'd raise a student I can't control, do you?"

Qiao Yelan looked completely in control.

Now the Grand Tutor really had nothing to say in rebuttal—he genuinely didn't think Qiao Yelan couldn't control the situation.

Although I don't know what methods this guy used, Qiao Yelan's words are indeed trustworthy.

Qiao Yelan then recalled the previous database, which indeed stated that as long as [Shu] was treated well, he, as the younger brother, would not betray him, and even among his siblings, he would choose him, the teacher, without hesitation.

Very well, he likes male students—at least he really respects teachers.

As for his sister, he will do his best to meet her requests, and then there will be no problem with his performance.

But why isn't this [黍] recorded much in the information?

She shouldn't be my student, right?

Chapter 143 My Plan ≠ My Responsibility

Qiao Yelan once said that he was best at persuading people.

The Grand Tutor's expression clearly showed hesitation.

[Wang] will escape one day. Even though he is in charge now, and even though the Si Sui Tai was carefully arranged by him, as long as [Wang] wants to leave, the Grand Tutor dares not guarantee that he can catch him.

Because it's not just about "looking" anymore; he also has the power of another aspect of the year.

The reason why Qiao Yelan and Wang were allowed to trade in the past was because the Grand Tutor hoped to separate these two powers. Similarly, if the Sui Xiang could continue to be separated, the awakening of the Sui Beast could be further delayed.

However, this beautiful dream was shattered by reality.

However, the Grand Tutor didn't have high hopes for this anyway, since Qiao Yelan's deal allowed Wang An to stay in the Si Sui Tai for several more decades without worry.

“As you said before, the thing Wang most wants to deal with is still [Sui], and he is also very clear that in order to defeat [Sui], he must unite the power of Da Yan. So you don’t need to treat him as a monster. On the contrary, Wang is definitely a useful fighting force.”

The Grand Tutor seemed about to speak but then stopped, and then hesitated to speak again.

If it were someone else saying the same thing to him, Qiao Yelan, he would have slapped them to wake them up.

This is the Lunar New Year's Eve stage, not a theater.

"Will you help me?"

"I promised to use this matter to exchange for a favor with you, so why shouldn't I help you? I really want to keep the favor I owe the Grand Tutor of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Qiao Yelan smiled and spread her hands.

“…Then explain in more detail.”

The old man crossed his arms and stared intently at Qiao Yelan.

"This is a chain-like overall concept—the most crucial link is whether [Wang] can escape from the Si Sui Terrace."

Qiao Yelan said in a serious tone.

"Given the current situation, it's not a good thing for you to continue occupying the position of Minister of Rites. Moreover, this will make it impossible to gain the trust of both His Majesty and the Grand Commandant. Therefore, this position must definitely be handed over. But how to hand it over without arousing His Majesty's suspicion, or without arousing the suspicion of Cai Yan and Chen Fan's group, is a statistical... cough cough, an artistic problem."

"The simplest way to meet all the conditions is for His Majesty to make the request, and then you to agree without hesitation, while I secretly lend a hand—this way, all the above requirements can be met without those old foxes in the court sniffing out anything."
