The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1091
[Chapter 1091: Almost Certain]
Even in other countries, if other monarchs knew about it, they might try every means to pull Lin Tian to serve under them.
“Senior is now in his prime, I don’t believe you will be willing to spend the rest of your life with me. Even bear the reputation of being a traitor in Qin.”
Lin Tian did not give up. He believed that with his eloquence, he could definitely convince Meng Tian to follow him back to Yan State and serve Yan State. So, Lin Tian spoke to Meng Tian.
Lin Tian’s words seemed to touch some scars in Meng Tian’s heart, and Meng Tian instantly became discouraged.
“What if I am unwilling? I have thought of ways to change these things, but I can’t do anything.”
Meng Tian sighed and said to Lin Tian. As he spoke, Meng Tian picked up the wine that Chen Huifang had just brought and took a sip.
“Of course there are ways to change these things. These things are passed on by word of mouth. If you want to change their words, all you have to do is make them jealous. Only in this way will they think of your talents when they think of you.”
After hearing what Meng Tian said, Lin Tian knew the entanglement in Meng Tian’s heart. So, he told Meng Tian his own way.
Meng Tian has devoted his life to political research and has never studied people’s minds, so after hearing what Lin Tian said, he showed a thoughtful look.
Lin Tian looked at Meng Tian and took in Meng Tian’s expression. Seeing that Meng Tian did not speak, he thought about Meng Tian’s situation again and then said.
“Senior Meng Tian, I have said before that I don’t want to be the prime minister of Yan State. Maybe I don’t want to be now, but I can’t say whether I will have the same idea in a few decades. Anyway, I don’t want to be the prime minister of Yan State now.”
“I think you must want to prove your real ability to everyone now. It’s not that I want to give you this opportunity, but because you need such an opportunity to prove yourself.”
“Think carefully, is there a certain truth in what I just said.”
Lin Tian said to Meng Tian, and then he stopped talking, giving Meng Tian enough time to think.
After Lin Tian waited for a while, Meng Tian seemed to have figured it out, so he raised his head and looked at Lin Tian.
“Indeed, what you said is all true. I urgently need an opportunity now, an opportunity to prove myself. Even if I don’t need to prove myself and let myself spend the rest of my life in peace, I also need an opportunity to have a clean reputation in my later years.”
Meng Tian thought of what Lin Tian said before, nodded to Lin Tian, and said.
“However, I dare not say that I know the current situation of Yan State very well. I have also roughly understood it.
Since you said that you are the prime minister of Yan State, I must need me to accompany you to Yan State to assist you in governing Yan State, but I have to tell you that, based on my understanding of Yan State, I am powerless in this situation.”
Meng Tian continued to say, and when analyzing the current situation of Yan State, Meng Tian couldn’t help but show a look of embarrassment on his face.
“Senior, if I say that I have a way to make the current Yan State rich and strong in a short period of time. Will you agree to go back to Yan State with me? When I resign as prime minister, will you take my place as prime minister of Yan State?”
Seeing that Meng Tian finally took a step back, Lin Tian quickly made his request to Meng Tian.
“Ah? This… Aren’t you here to ask me to go to Yan State to solve the current situation of Yan State?”
Meng Tian was very shocked when he heard Lin Tian’s request, and asked casually.
Meng Tian thought that Lin Tian asked him to come out to help him solve the current predicament of Yan State, but he didn’t expect Lin Tian’s request to be like this.
Moreover, this is equivalent to giving the results to Meng Tian for nothing, and Meng Tian, a person from a deadly enemy country, has to take over his position as prime minister. This is really unbelievable for Meng Tian.
After listening to Meng Tian’s words, Lin Tian shook his head calmly without too much explanation.
“Then what is the purpose of your doing this? Since you have a way to make Yan State rich and strong, why do you still have to give up your credit? Isn’t this a good opportunity to become famous, or even famous for eternity, what young people like you value most?”
After getting Lin Tian’s answer, Meng Tian thought about it and asked Lin Tian in confusion.
“It’s not that I don’t value reputation, but with my current reputation, I believe that everyone in Yan State knows it. What’s more, with my current status in Yan State, do I need to attract other people’s attention in other aspects?”
Lin Tian explained to Meng Tian, but didn’t say it too clearly, because Lin Tian believed that with Meng Tian’s talent, he would definitely guess the purpose of his doing so.
Meng Tian heard that Lin Tian’s words were a bit hidden, but it was not difficult to guess his real intention.
Lin Tian is now second only to one person in Yan State, so he doesn’t need any so-called status. Even if Lin Tian resigns as prime minister, no one can shake Lin Tian’s position in Yan State.
If Lin Tian cares about his reputation, he probably won’t run thousands of miles from Yan State to find him. So Lin Tian is now very likely to put a very prestigious person in the open, and he will be the planner of all this.
“You don’t want me to bear your reputation while also bearing some pressure from the outside world.”
After thinking it through, Meng Tian said to Lin Tian who was drinking tea and waiting.
“Not only that, I also need someone to help me bear the troubles brought by the trivial things in the court every day.”
Sure enough, Lin Tian was not disappointed. Meng Tian guessed Lin Tian’s intention at once, so this is why Lin Tian likes to talk to smart people. At the same time, Lin Tian added to Meng Tian.
“Hahaha, little brother is really good at joking.”
Meng Tian still hasn’t figured out one thing, that is, many talented people are scrambling to get a position in the palace.
Why didn’t Lin Tian want to be the prime minister of Yan State, who was second only to Lin Tian. So, when Lin Tian said this, Meng Tian finally understood it completely.
With Meng Tian’s pride, how could he be reduced to being calculated by others and being used as a puppet in public?
However, Meng Tian really needs such an opportunity now, an opportunity to prove himself. So, even if Meng Tian is unwilling to be Lin Tian’s puppet, he will definitely not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Lin Tian seized this point and forced Meng Tian to become his puppet.
