The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 494

[Chapter 494: Kill or Not]

As soon as the prime minister finished speaking, someone else followed suit. They were probably all in the same group, so

they all had the same idea. All of them followed the prime minister’s lead. They agreed with whatever the prime minister said, and it was like this from beginning to end. Obviously, the emperor should have noticed this, after all, it was too subtle.

The prime ministers’ party language also followed word for word, and it seemed to make sense, but in fact, they said this just to follow the prime minister’s point of view.

“Yes, the Prime Minister is right. Your Majesty, you can think about it carefully. If we arrest someone but keep him, it will definitely be a problem, right?”

“He and we are not from the same country, and the people are definitely not on the same side. In addition, what he did before, even if he died thousands of times, it would not be enough.”

“What’s more, if he tells others about it and exposes these things, won’t the people of Liang know everything?”

“Even if we didn’t kill the envoy of Liang, we detained him after all. They will know about this.”

The emperor nodded aside, and no one knew what he was thinking. After all, the emperor’s thoughts were not so easy to guess.

Those people could only look at the emperor, hoping that the emperor could give them an opinion, and then… After a while, the emperor pretended to press his hand, indicating that those people could stop talking for the time being.

Then the emperor gave a very profound answer, “Okay, I’ve heard what you said, and I can understand that what you great gods are thinking is nothing more than for the good of our country.”

“That’s certainly good, but… Lin Tian is right, if we just kill people rashly, it can indeed serve as a warning to others.”

“But this can’t bring us any great benefits after all, and it will also anger the other party. Although we are not afraid of those people from Liang, but if…”

“If we can deal a fatal blow to the people of Liang without anyone knowing, and not destroy a single one of our soldiers, wouldn’t it make our situation better?”

“That’s what I think, and I guess Lin Tian’s thoughts are the same as mine, so I said this. Lin Tian, am I right?”

Lin Tian also nodded. His thoughts were indeed consistent with the emperor’s, and he was not wrong. He had had such thoughts before, and now the emperor called him over.

Moreover, he specifically handed the initiative to him. Lin Tian knew that the emperor must have thought the same thing, so he let him say it out.

However, the emperor didn’t say it directly before, because those people thought that the emperor was afraid of the other party. In fact, the emperor was not afraid. He

just wanted to get more benefits for himself. In addition, the emperor must have a better choice in his mind, otherwise he would not say it directly.

“Your Majesty’s idea is certainly good, and so is my idea. People can be killed or not, but if we don’t kill them, it will obviously bring us more benefits. For example, let him go back–” After

these words came out, even Luo Xiang and Liu Zhang were stunned. They asked in amazement, “Ah? What? No way, Lin Tian, don’t be kidding, how can you let him go back?”

“We can understand the emperor’s idea, and there is nothing wrong with it. Even if the person can be spared, it would be better to temporarily oppress him and not let others know.”

“But we must not let him go back. Are you really going to let the tiger go back to the mountain? Doing so will definitely ruin the situation on our side, and the other party will also know the situation on our side.”

“Maybe they will take the opportunity to deal us a fatal blow. Even if we are not afraid of them, we cannot guarantee their ruthlessness. What if they really do something to hurt us? “

Lin Tian had a confident smile on his face, and there seemed to be a hint of mystery, which made people wonder what he was thinking.

Before Lin Tian finished speaking, these people always had to deal with him a lot, and each time they didn’t give Lin Tian a chance to finish his words, and then they misunderstood him every time.

In this regard, Lin Tian was really speechless, but for the sake of Luo Xiang and Liu Zhang, he didn’t lose his temper.

Lin Tian knew that these two people were also thinking about the country, but they just didn’t understand his approach, so if he explained it well, wouldn’t there be no problem?

But with this thought, Lin Tian didn’t look anxious at all, nor did he look flustered at all. Instead, he said, “Why are you in such a hurry? I haven’t finished talking yet.”

With this, the others realized that Lin Tian had something else to say. So, there should be a chance for things to turn around…

They gradually relaxed their minds and planned to listen carefully to what Lin Tian was going to do. They could also know Lin Tian’s thoughts and then follow suit.

After all, Lin Tian’s thoughts were now consistent with the emperor’s. Even if they had any complaints in their hearts, they couldn’t say them out. Otherwise, once the emperor knew about it, he would definitely not let them go. No matter

what, they couldn’t refute the emperor’s meaning. Even if the emperor might say something wrong sometimes, they couldn’t say it.

This was a truth that these old ministers had realized long ago. Otherwise, if they were not careful, they would bring themselves to death. They didn’t want such a situation to happen. They still wanted to enjoy their old age.

However, Lin Tian didn’t think so. If something was right, he would definitely not say anything, but if something was wrong, he would definitely say it directly. This was Lin Tian’s character.

He would not lie too much, and the emperor seemed to admire Lin Tian very much, because Lin Tian really cared about their country, and he was bold and responsible. He dared to say anything and was particularly truthful.

Let the emperor know that Lin Tian has no other ideas and is wholeheartedly devoted to the country. In addition, Lin Tian’s strength and brains are indeed excellent. Of course, the emperor will pay great attention to him and ignore other ministers.
