Trust?
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He knew very well that the main reason why he was able to be trusted was because he has talked frankly to Emperor Yang Zhou about what he wanted to achieve.
The broken rules and cultures in this era for the Emperor made Long Qian Xing not interested in this position.
It would be better to become a general where he could be somewhat free.
There were some restraints from being a general, but he didn't have to stay in the court and face those annoying ministers or others. Moreover, Long Qian Xing was technically able to roam around freely if he wanted to and made some of his own decision.
The ministers have to face many people watching them and their own actions had to be measured carefully. Otherwise, it was estimated that they would not be able to survive and might be pushed down.
It was too complicated.
And more troublesome.
Long Qian Xing could step there if he wanted to, but why should he when he could pick a more leisure path?
"It doesn't necessarily have to be me." Long Qian Xing shook his head. "Besides, I don't believe your son is not enough by now along with many other guards around." Prime Minister Lan's son is the head guard of Emperor Yang Zhou in the palace. Long Qian Xing had seen him before in the past when there was an accident in Emperor Yang Zhou's palace. While his skills at that time was not very good, but Long Qian Xing heard that he had improved a lot over the years and also trusted by Emperor Yang Zhou.
With him around to protect Emperor Yang Zhou, Long Qian Xing was honestly not too worried.
Not many people would be able to get close to Emperor Yang Zhou,
"This..."
Prime Minister Lan frowned.
Long Qian Xing saw this and sighed. He patted Prime Minister Lan's shoulder. "If you're worried because of the other prime minister might do something, you can stop worrying about it."
While Long Qian Xing didn't trust Prime Minister Xian fully, but he could see that this person was also the one who had helped Fei Yang Kingdom to win countless victories over the years.
Moreover, he had seen the reformation that Prime Minister Xian arranged.
From the law to the management...
He had to say that Prime Minister Xian is really talented and these methods were indeed the best that Fei Yang Kingdom could use. In the current situation, not all methods were suitable.
"Can you guarantee your words, General Xing?" Prime Minister Lan asked with a frown.
"No, I can't." Long Qian Xing was calm. "I'm not close with Prime Minister Xian nor I know about his every move. But I can see that his deeds have helped Fei Yang Kingdom a lot. Of course, if you're worried about him, you can send people to monitor him, Prime Minister Lan."
He stopped talking for a moment and looked at Prime Minister Lan deeply. "After being in the ministry for so many years, how could you not have your own people and men? Make a good use of your people or you might not know how you end up."
With Prime Minister Lan's background in the military, some of his methods were a bit crude. Back then, Long Qian Xing gave Prime Minister Lan some advices to let him help Emperor Yang Zhou secured his position.
It was not much, but it was enough for them.
The methods in this era and the various limited imposed on them made it not easy for Long Qian Xing to pick many methods that he could think of.
After so many years have passed, did he still have to come to ask for advice?
Long Qian Xing hadn't participated in many things related to the politics and had no interest to do so. After all, he was busy on the frontline, why should he pay so much attention to the court too?
He sighed deeply.
"I can't help much, Prime Minister Lan. Without knowing the full extent of the situation on the court, rashly giving you advice would not do me any good," Long Qian Xing said slowly. "Besides, I'm sure you have thought of methods to make sure the court is balanced."
This was one of the few reasons why Long Qian Xing didn't want to participate in the politics.
They have a say and could determine the kingdom's future, but they were also fighting with each other because they felt that their methods were the best. There were also time when their own interest was touched and this would definitely make them fight against each other.
It was messy.
Long Qian Xing clearly didn't want to participate in these things and would rather go back to his home.
"I see." Prime Minister Lan took a deep breath and cupped his fist. "I apologize for being rash, General Xing. Thank you for your advice."
Even though Long Qian Xing didn't say much, Prime Minister Lan was able to understand and thought about his future moves.
Yes, he had already been prepared.
He just have to make sure to stay careful while protecting Emperor Yang Zhou. Because there were many people who did not want to see Emperor Yang Zhou succeed.
Things had reached this point.
It was unknown who still wanted Emperor Yang Zhou to fail and for what reasons, but there were many people who simply didn't like Emperor Yang Zhou. Either it was
jealousy, their own interest, or many other things.
Because the changes Emperor Yang Zhou made was bound to touch the interest of many people.
Just like how this conquest is.
From the very beginning, it had touched the interest of so many people. The fierce war and the brutal fighting that followed after had caused so many people to die and it was these people on the top who gave the order.
For their own goals and reasons.
