Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

Upon hearing this, some of the others didn't quite understand.

Anyone with eyes can see this.

Although Lin Ze is the emperor, he was clearly forced into that position.

Although they are brothers, even if they are blood brothers, they are not entirely devoted to each other.

The reason Lin Qiye didn't become emperor himself, but chose to let Lin Ze do it.

There must be another reason.

They can't guess it now, but they can guess most of it.

They simply wanted to push Lin Ze out to shield themselves from impeachment by the court.

By supporting Lin Ze to take office, I won't have to worry about these things.

All you need to do is sit back and relax, and keep a firm grip on your own power.

Lin Qiye gets the benefits, while Lin Ze bears the consequences.

Lin Ze was nothing more than an emperor in name only from beginning to end.

They have no real power.

Look at Lin Qiye killing someone right in front of Lin Ze just now, did he dare to utter a single complaint?

Can't you see from this that Lin Ze doesn't have any real power at all?

The real power has always been in Lin Qiye's hands!

In this situation, they believed that they should not scold Lin Qiye.

Because of the power he wields, he can kill you regardless of all rules.

If you confront him, he'll simply say, "Killed is killed, so what?"

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare."

Therefore, you must never provoke Lin Qiye.

But Lin Ze is different.

He was just a puppet emperor; what real power could he possibly have?

Occasionally, one can criticize him a couple of times to show that one is a loyal and capable general, and that one is concerned about the country and the nation.

You can improve your status without taking any risks.

why not?

However, this seemingly insightful Lord Wang is now telling them...

Should they do the opposite?

Judging from this, it seems that this Lord Wang is not very insightful.

They even offered to give them advice, but isn't this just a dead end?

How ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!

Afterwards, everyone told Lord Wang what they were thinking.

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang couldn't stop smiling.

For a moment, he completely disregarded his status as an official in the imperial court and burst into laughter.

This annoyed the people around them.

Everyone's in a state of panic right now, and you're still laughing here?

Do you really think Lin Qiye's knife won't cut your head?

After laughing for a while, Lord Wang finally stopped laughing.

No one knows how long he laughed.

But everyone still chose to wait for him here, still holding onto hope.

Hopefully, he can show me a clear path.

However, some impatient people can't stand the loneliness and turn around and go home to deal with their shady businesses.

Lord Wang wiped away the tears that had welled up in his eyes from laughing.

"You people are really naive."

"I really don't know if you're just panicking and unable to think calmly, or if you're just stupid."

"I dare say this: if you can't see the current situation clearly, every single one of you will be replaced by Lin Qiye within ten days!"

Lord Wang pointed at their noses and mocked them.

These "adults," who would normally argue for half a day over a single sentence, were now completely silent.

It's like a child being scolded.

Because they knew that this Lord Wang might actually have seen through the current situation.

This is a matter of life and death.

Even if someone points their finger at you and insults you, or even if you get beaten up, so what?

"Think carefully about who this Lord Lin is."

"Why did he become an official? Why did he become a member of the Demon Suppression Division?"

"And what was the first thing he did after being promoted?"

Lord Wang's three questions were no challenge for them at all.

In this imperial court, anyone holding an official rank of fifth grade or above who could influence the game would be secretly investigated for their identity.

Find out who the other party comes from and who is behind them.

Is there a chance to make friends?

See if there are any conflicts with their family, and see if it's possible to offend them.

If you can offend them, to what extent can you offend them?

Is it just a simple quarrel, or a life-or-death struggle?

If you push the other party too far, will they resort to desperate measures?

These are all things that these people need to consider.

Anyone who's managed to get to this level is a shrewd and calculating individual.

They're the kind of people who say one thing to one person and another to another.

Lin Qiye, of course, had been thoroughly studied by them.

Their assessment of Lin Qiye was that he had a clean financial background.

I have an older brother.

This person is exceptionally capable; it's worth befriending.

Try not to offend anyone if you can avoid it.

These are the labels that everyone has attached to Lin Qiye.

After this much thought, they still couldn't find the problem.

Is there a problem with this?

However, at that moment, someone suddenly shouted excitedly.

It was as if they had survived a catastrophe!

"I see!"

"I see!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Wang!"

"My Zhang family will be friends with Lord Wang for generations to come!"

"....."

After saying that, he skipped and hopped away, ready to go back.

However, how could those who hadn't figured it out let him go?

One by one, they blocked his way.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang!"

"We're all colleagues, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Lord Zhang smiled easily and comfortably, "Remember, I'm not the one who saved you."

"It was Lord Wang who saved you."

"Lord Wang has made himself clear enough."

"If you still can't understand, then you only have your own fault."

After saying this, Lord Zhang ignored his colleagues who were still standing there in a daze.

He walked straight to Lord Wang and bowed with his hands clasped.

"Lord Wang, as I have said, our Zhang family will always regard you as a friend."

"These are all favors from you, I won't take them from you."

Lord Wang waved his hand, "Forget it, just tell them directly."

"They're in a complete panic right now; even after being reminded to this extent, they still can't figure it out."

"Don't do something foolish and offend those two adults, ending up with a bad outcome."

"We're all colleagues, so we should help each other out."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately clasped their hands in a gesture of respect.

"No need to be so polite."

"Let Lord Zhang explain it to you."

Everyone turned to look at Lord Zhang, "Then we'll have to trouble Lord Zhang to explain."

Lord Zhang walked to the front of the crowd.

He flicked his sleeves and said, "Lord Wang just asked you three questions. Have you really thought about them seriously?"

Someone below retorted, "Of course we've thought about it! This concerns our lives and livelihoods; how could we dare to be negligent!"

However, Lord Zhang replied resolutely, "No!"

"You think you haven't thought about it seriously."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't need to ask me to tell you."

"Of the three questions Lord Wang just asked, the last one is the most important."

"What did Lin Qiye do every time he was promoted?"

"Every time he got promoted, he only did one thing: get people out of trouble!"

"Who should we rescue?"

"Lin Ze!"

"Can't you see it from here? Their relationship is still unbreakable!"

"It's not the kind of brotherhood you often see between sons of aristocratic families."

"The matter of the throne was also done because Lin Qiye wanted Lin Ze to take it."

"He didn't want Lin Ze to go out and shield him from the pressure."

Hearing this, they understood something to some extent.

But I still don't quite understand.

Even if their relationship is indeed that of brothers.

But surely that's not enough to just give up the throne?

You should know that throughout history, many people have been willing to turn down anyone for this position!

Let alone his own older brother, even if it were his own father or mother, it wouldn't work!

Why would Lin Qiye be so kind as to let Lin Ze sit in this position?

impossible!

There must be some hidden story they don't know!

Lord Zhang chuckled softly, "No wonder Lord Wang said you were a bunch of fools."

"Now that I see it, it really is true!"

You only found out when someone in the crowd was unhappy.

They've already started blaming us?

Of course, I was resentful.

But on the surface, you still have to be polite.

"Oh, Lord Zhang, please stop keeping me in suspense."

"If you can show me a way to survive, my Liu family is willing to give you a way to make money, isn't that enough?"

Lord Zhang smiled and said, "No need."

"You blockheads! Let me just tell you!"

"Lin Qiye has already reached this position, who else can put pressure on him?"

"Does he need to resort to such low-level tactics to make himself more comfortable?"

"Let me put it this way: even if Lin Qiye himself became emperor, would any of you dare to criticize him?"

Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

That's absolutely true.

They didn't dare say anything outrageous to Lin Qiye.

Then, Lord Zhang continued, "Therefore, the conclusion that he supported Lin Ze as a puppet emperor is completely refuted!"

"Then why did he make Lin Ze emperor?"

"Of course, once he's in this position, no one can criticize him!"

"This is pure love!"

"Lin Qiye went to such great lengths just to make his brother's life more comfortable."

"You actually think Lin Ze is an easy target?"

"Still thinking of offering honest advice every now and then?"

"Do they need your honest advice? Lin Qiye will handle everything that needs to be done!"

"If things don't go our way, we'll become Lin Qiye's targets."

To put it simply, Lin Ze is Lin Qiye's Achilles' heel!

Lin Ze is Lin Qiye's Achilles' heel.

These words lingered in everyone's minds for a long time.

In their minds, they would give anything for that throne.

Therefore, they never believed that Lin Qiye would be so kind as to give up this position to Lin Ze; there must be other reasons.

That's why they fell into a cognitive trap.

But after this reminder, they immediately understood.

Thinking back on my previous thoughts, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

If we really do things the way they want.

They truly died without even knowing how they died.

The bad things said about Lin Ze were said in the morning, he was killed at noon, and his house was ransacked at night.

Lin Qiye disagreed with this.

Lin Qiye: "Rumors!"

"It's not that slow."

Yes, the moment those bad words are spoken, the person is already dead.

They won't even live past noon.

Once they realized what had happened, everyone felt like they had escaped a disaster.

These words simply saved their family's lives!

This is an immense favor!

There's no way we can ever pay it all back!

"Lord Zhang! The Liu family keeps its word. To express our gratitude, the Liu family is willing to give you a passageway!"

"So stingy! My Hu family will only give you two!"

"My Li family will give three gifts!"

"The Hu family and the Third Dao!"

"......"

Suddenly, this place transformed into a 'securities trading' market.

Faced with this astonishing temptation, Lord Zhang simply waved his hand.

He looked at Lord Wang, who was sitting calmly to the side.

Only then did everyone realize what was happening, and they set their sights on Lord Wang.

"Lord Wang! I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks."

"You absolutely must learn these tips, otherwise we won't be able to sleep!"

"Yes, Lord Wang, these things are nothing compared to our lives."

Please accept this as a gift!

Lord Wang waved his hand dismissively.

"You are repaying kindness with enmity."

"What would I do with all this stuff?"

"They're all hot potatoes."

"What I just talked about was a matter of principle, a matter that will lead to certain death if you make a mistake."

"But there are some flexible requirements that you can't ignore."

"For example, getting rid of those shady businesses of yours."

Everyone immediately realized what was happening, thanked them, and hurriedly left.

Lin Qiye only gave them three days, so they had to hurry up and handle it properly.

A moment later, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Lord Wang and Lord Zhang.

Lord Wang asked, "What? Don't you need to go back and handle this?"

Lord Zhang chuckled softly, "Lord Wang is joking. Compared to them, my innocence is beyond redemption."

Just then, the two were suddenly stopped by a soldier clad in black armor.

The man bowed deeply to the two of them.

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhang."

"General Lin has issued an order."

"From this day forward, I request that you two join the cabinet to share the nation's burdens."

The two exchanged a glance, then respectfully accepted the imperial decree.

"Thank you for your high regard, Commander."

When they raised their hands again, they found that the person had vanished.

At this moment, they had a general understanding of Lin Qiye's true strength.

I knew he was very strong and very capable.

But I don't know how powerful it is.

Now I know.

At the same time, they were also relieved that they still had a sense of awe for Lin Qiye and Lin Ze.

I didn't intend to use any underhanded tactics.

Otherwise, what would have arrived would probably not be this "imperial edict".

Previously, Lin Qiye had asked Lin Ze a question.

Nanaya: "Would we have this kind of relationship in other worlds too?"

Ze: "It definitely will."

"If I were a machine gunner, you would definitely be a torchbearer."

Lin Qiye: "Does it have to be a torch tube? Can't it be something else?"

Lin Ze: "What? Are you feeling wronged being with me, Lin Ze?"

Lin Qiye: "I want to become a corn cannon, so that I can protect you."
