Chapter 112 To be blunt

"The unicorn got the king?"

"Yes, that's it. It's not that the monarch got the unicorn, but the unicorn got the monarch. Ling Yue casually took off a scroll bound with gold wire, and the three words 'Wan Hanyin' were depicted with fine silver powder on the cover. After turning a few pages, Ling Yue frowned slightly and put the book back in place. "Why is it poetry and song again? I really can't stand it."

Liu Ye quickly swept through and selected a slightly dilapidated volume: "Wow, this book is about feng shui."

"This book is about how to take care of health."

"Eh? This is about military strategy.

"Oh, why do you even have gardening? It's good." Ling Yue changed another book and said in surprise, "No, this is actually a sunflower treasure book."

Liu Ye said, "I have a book of Jiuyin Zhenjing and a book called Lingbo Weibu, huh? It looks like lightgong, but it doesn't seem to be?"

With that, Liu Ye focused on taking the Lingbo's micro-step comparison, but without a few steps, he threw the book back with a depressed face: "Which bastard did this do? It's completely bullshit."

Ling Yue turned her head and smiled: "Ryu Ye, why did you swear?"

"Because it's too ridiculous."

Suddenly, a bright yellow figure appeared in the eyes of Liu Ye and Ling Yue at the same time. Xia Di put his hands behind him and was walking slowly towards the two. Liu Ye was stunned, and his eyes were full of vigilance. Because Liu Ye knew that no matter how high the opponent's martial arts were, he could detect the existence of the other party within 50 steps, but now that Emperor Xia was close at hand, he could not feel any breath. How could he not be vigilant?

"Eh? Why are you here, emperor? Compared with Liu Ye, Ling Yue, who doesn't know anything about martial arts, doesn't think so much.

"I have nothing to do. I'll find some books to read." Xia Di smiled, but the corners of his eyes glanced at Liu Ye. "I just heard you say that Yu Qilin. Why do you like ancient mythical beasts?"

"If there is nothing, it is said that the unicorn will win the world. Liu Ye and I are just discussing whether the monarch got the unicorn or whether the unicorn chose the monarch.

"Ling Yue, do you think Kirin chose the monarch, right?" Xia Di asked.

"Yes, that's right."

Emperor Xia pondered for a while and said slowly, "In fact, it is not that Kirin chose the monarch, nor did the monarch get Kirin. The reason why the monarch is the monarch comes from absolute power. Ling Yue, do you know what absolute power means?"

"Corruption." Ling Yue spit out two words faintly.

Emperor Xia shook his head and looked at a point in the void: "Absolute power means that you can't trust anyone, including yourself. Although it is normal for emperors to be suspicious, when you are put on a high shelf and there is no one around you except yourself, you will begin to be afraid, because once you fall, it will be an abyss.

"People who fall from the clouds will fall to death." Ling Yue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but she was not smiling. Instead, she was a little helpless. "Unfortunately, the world can't understand this truth."

"I'm glad that Ling Yue can understand."

Ling Yue looked directly at Emperor Xia: "No, here, only by holding the power of life and death in your own hands can you survive safely, otherwise it will always be the fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others."

"Do you want to take power?" Emperor Xia's eyes narrowed slightly and he couldn't distinguish emotions.

"No, I'm not interested in power. What I want is wealth."

"Wealth?"

"Yes, master the wealth of the whole world." Ling Yue's eyes were a little fierce and excited, "If I can control the wealth of the whole world, why do I care which puppet sits on the throne?"

Liu Ye quietly took a panoramic view of the two people's expressions, but when Ling Yue said such almost rebellious words, he was still extremely shocked. Because of what Ling Yue just said, if Emperor Xia gets serious, she will be sentenced to Ling Chi's death. But Emperor Xia was not angry, but looked at Ling Yue with interest for a long, long time.

The two looked at each other like this, and no one refused to talk first, but Liu Ye knew that both of them seemed to want to think out something from each other's expressions.

I don't know how long it took, Emperor Xia sighed and said slowly, "Ling Yue, you are really like the dean. When the king of Qi rebelled, I asked the dean why he could mobilize the soldiers and horses of the four countries in the world overnight. Do you know what the dean said to me? The dean said that as long as he mastered the wealth, there would be no need to worry that the other party would not obey him, even if he was the monarch.

Ling Yue smiled. Of course, she understood why the dean would say that to Xia Di, because she was the dean. Of course, this was only to some extent.

"The dean is very smart."

"I hope you can become the second dean, Ling Yue."

"Second Dean?"

"Yes, but I don't want you to be too smart. I just hope you can take over the dean's wealth." Xia Di said.

Why should I take over? Is the dean dead?

Xia Di nodded and stopped talking.

"What, you said the dean is dead?" In an instant, Ling Yue felt that the world turned around, "How can it be? How could the dean die?"

"Do you know the dean?"

After a while, Ling Yue realized her situation and reluctantly calmed down and said, "No, I just heard that the director of the Supervision Institute was very powerful. How could he die like this? Didn't you let me investigate the real identity of the director a few months ago? Why did he die?"

"I'm also surprised. Although the way to die is very strange, the dean did die."

"Is the way to die strange?" Ling Yue felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and then gently pressed her chest with her hand.

"It turns into powder in an instant and drifts away with the wind."

Ling Yue stopped breathing, and a scene of frustration appeared in her mind, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was the artificial intelligence created by Gu Li. She should not be surprised by anything happened: "It's really... a strange way to die. So, all the dean's wealth has been left?

"Yes, but I can't take over."

"Why?"

"The dean left a lot of books that only he can understand, and only the dean knows how to arrange and continue the money and industries in various places." Xia Di took a deep breath and said, "All Ling Yue, I hope you can try to take over the wealth left by the dean."

"Your Majesty, are you so anxious to let me come back just to let me take over the matter left by the dean?"

"Yes, I deliberately avoided Jiang Mozhu because I didn't want him to know, because Jiang Mozhu is really too smart."

Ling Yue smiled and said, "So between the same smart me and Jiang Mozhu, the emperor decided to choose me with better control, right? And if I marry Wuchen, will you be more relieved?"

Xia Di did not deny it and said lightly, "Yes, it's true."

"Wait, do you mean to let me be the president of the Supervisory Institute?"

"Why, you don't want to?"

Ling Yue nodded repeatedly: "Yes, how good is the president of the Supervision Institute? Er, can you ask how much the annual salary is?"

"You have taken over so much wealth, and you still care about your salary?"

"Well, don't be so frank. It feels like I have embezzled your money." Ling Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have a question to ask you."

"What's the problem?"

"Your Majesty, are you going to let Wuchen succeed to the throne?"

This is Liu Ye's second shock. He really can't understand why Ling Yue can always say near rebellion without hesitation. Of course, what surprised Liu Ye more is that Emperor Xia was not angry every time. If it were someone else, he would have destroyed the nine clans long ago.

Emperor Xia "So do you want Wuchen to be the emperor?"

Ling Yue tilted her head and thought for a while, "That's not true. In fact, I prefer Wuchen to be a businessman. Although it's good to be an emperor, it's too dangerous. However, he wants to be a wise monarch in his heart, which can't be changed.

"How do you know that he succeeded to the throne?"

"Intuition." Ling Yue said, "But if you are born in an emperor's family, if you just live a life as plain as water, why do you have to be born in an emperor's family? It may be better to be born in an ordinary people's family. Since you are born with supreme power, you should make good use of it, otherwise you will be too sorry for yourself.

"There is only one throne. What if everyone born in the imperial family is greedy for the supreme power?"

"Feat and blood, kill the king to seize the throne." Ling Yue said slowly, "I'm sure that the reason why you can sit on the high dragon chair is also stepping on the bones of countless people. I don't know if Ling Yue is wrong?"

"You are very smart. Only you and the dean dare to talk to me like this in this palace. Aren't you afraid? Or do you think I really dare not take anything to you?"

Ling Yue stepped back half a step and said, "Your Majesty, if you want Ling Yue to die, it's just a matter. However, Ling Yue thinks that she is not useless enough to let the emperor kill me, and she is not strong enough to threaten the emperor that you must kill me. In this case, there is no need for Ling Yue to be afraid.

"I'm a little tired, Ling Yue. I will issue the imperial edict in a few days. Please prepare early."

"Does the emperor want to marry?"

Xia Di turned around and said lightly, "President of the Supervision Institute."

After Emperor Xia left, Ling Yue breathed a long sigh of relief: "Lou Ye, when was he there?"

"I don't know."

"Hm?"

"At first, I suspected that the emperor's martial arts were extremely high, so I didn't realize when he was here, but now it seems that there should be something strange in this ten thousand-volume pavilion." Liu Ye looked around, full of jasper gold. "No matter how strong the martial arts are, they can't use force here."

"Why?"

Liu Ye shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless: "I don't know."
