Chapter 171 The Emperor's Heart
"What? Does His Majesty let you be the police chief? After returning to Lingfu, Xiao Yi, Xiao Wei and Xiao Qing were all unbelievable.
Although this position is not as powerful as Ling Yan's chief government minister before, it is definitely one of the highest positions in the imperial capital.
The previous Chenos also experienced a long time, and then the power of the family, so that he could do it. Now it's really too tricky to directly get Lei Bin, who has no experience, to the director of the police department.
"Yes, maybe His Majesty saw me as a talented person, so let's promote it." Lei Bin said with a smile.
Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "Your Majesty must have done this with his intention. Your Majesty is a wise man who has been rare for hundreds of years and will not do things recklessly."
"Anyway, it is definitely a great thing for the Ling family that you can get this official position." Xiao Qing said extremely excitedly at this time.
Lei Bin nodded and said, "Yes, anyway, I'm also his son-in-law. If the official position is too low, he will have no face."
Xiao Yi hit Lei Bin's head and said, "Zihe, don't talk like this. In case others hear it, it's a crime to bully you."
Lei Bin smiled and said, "There will be no one else here, and I'm his son-in-law, so there's nothing wrong with calling him an old man."
"Now, as the police chief, your strength has improved a lot, but don't be too impatient. Step by step, you can definitely defeat Ling Yan and make the Ling family shake the whole empire again." Xiao Qing warned Lei Bin that with this position, let him be stable.
Lei Bin smiled and said, "I'll pay attention to it."
"That Ling Wei has been planning for so long this time, and finally only got a counselor of the Ministry of Political Affairs. I believe he must be pissed off now, haha..."
Thinking that Ling Wei only got such a position this time, Xiao Qing was refreshed.
"Although he only got the position of counselor of the Ministry of Political Affairs, don't underestimate him. Since he can let Ling Yan undercover him for so many years, it shows that he has a strong means. After planning for so long, he will definitely have a lot of cards. Xiao Wei said at this time.
"Well, you really can't underestimate him. In addition to him, including the Austin family, Ling Ziyue and others, should also pay attention to it. It's not so easy to carry the Ling family." Xiao Qing also said.
Lei Bin nodded with a heroic look and said, "Don't worry, two uncles, I will definitely revive the Ling family."
"How could His Majesty make such a decision to let Ling Zihe become the director of the police department? What kind of position is this? How can you give it to such a young boy? In the Austin family, Droman was shocked by the news.
"It seems that what I was worried about really appeared." At this time, the man in loose casual clothes sighed slightly and said.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Droman couldn't help asking when he looked at the man he had admired since he was a child.
This man called the eldest brother by Droman is Marcus, the current heir of the Austin family.
"Hmm, what do you mean? Don't you see it? Your Majesty, this is to hope that the more chaotic the current situation, the better. Marcus sneered and said.
"I hope the situation will be as chaotic as possible? Why? If the situation is chaotic, it will only be bad for the empire and will not be good. Droman said puzzledly.
"Yes, the situation is chaotic, which is bad for the empire, but it is good for someone." Marcus sighed slightly and said.
"Brother, do you mean... this is good for the emperor? Is it...you want to say..." Droman felt incredible and couldn't say the following words in the end.
"Yes, now, the aristocratic forces of the empire are getting stronger and stronger, and the strength of some families has even threatened the imperial power. This... is not what our emperor wants to see." Marcus said slowly.
Droman listened to Marcus say this and was silent for a long time. He didn't want to believe it, but he knew that Marcus was telling the truth.
"Your Majesty, are you going to treat us?" After a long time, Droman said weakly. Their Austin family has been loyal to the empire for several generations. I don't know how many people have died and made great contributions, but now, His Majesty wants to do so, which inevitably makes him feel a little chilled.
"His Majesty will not make too many moves, but he will definitely weaken the current family power. Only when our power is smaller and more dispersed will he be relieved. Marcus saw all this very clearly.
"So...what should we do?" Droman asked.
For Marcus, he will always respect and believe in him. Marcus's words are absolute authority to him.
Marcus pondered for a moment and said lightly, "Sphet."
"Spear?" Droman was stunned again.
"Yes, as long as we are separated and not together, the threat to imperial power will not be so great. His Majesty will not be wary of us. In that case, we can still live a good life, and our Austin family can continue to pass on, but there will be no more glory like this. Marcus said with emotion.
Droman was silent again. He knew that this was a good way. In this way, he could immediately dispel His Majesty's fear of the Austin family, but would the Austin family, which had been glorious for hundreds of years, disperse?
"I know you are not reconciled. However, our emperor is not an ordinary emperor. He is a wise monarch and a wise monarch that has not been met for hundreds of years. He wants to make this empire longer. If you want the empire to last longer, you must eliminate all factors that threaten the imperial power. We are one of the biggest unstable factors. Marcus looked at Droman's expression and knew what he thought, so he was relieved.
In the end, Droman just sighed helplessly and said, "Well, this is the last way for us to be loyal to the empire."
Seeing that Droman had figured it out, Marcus nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not a matter of separation. If it's too abrupt, it will make people gossip. Let's take our time and divide the family before you and I are in the earth."
"Yes, big brother." Droman said respectfully.
"Father, how could His Majesty let that boy be the police chief?" In Ling Wei's house, Ling Yiheng's eyes widened at this time and felt unbelievable.
Ling Wei sat in a chair and looked straight ahead. He was speechless for a long time. He was indeed very surprised by this result.
After a long time, Ling Wei said slowly, "Your Majesty doesn't want Ling Zihe to fall so quickly. He is testing us."
"Test us?" Ling Yiheng was puzzled.
"For His Majesty, there is no difference between us inheriting the Ling family or Ling Zihe inheriting the Ling family. In the end, we will all be his ministers. For His Majesty, a move is not as good as a quiet. He doesn't want to make too much noise, so he gave Ling Zihe some preferential treatment. However, if we finally defeat Lingzihe, then His Majesty will accept it. Ling Wei took a sip of tea and said lightly.
Hearing Ling Wei's words, Ling Yiheng frowned fiercely and said, "Father, what should we do now?"
Ling Wei took a look at Ling Lie next to him and said, "Now, we have a lot of advantages. As long as we grasp the power of the Ling family more first, then victory will be ours in the end."
"Okay, what are we going to do next?" Ling Yiheng seemed to be a little impatient.
Ling Wei said slowly, "Serve those ministers and occupy the economic lifeline of those Ling family."
"Then when will Ling Zihe be killed?" Ling Yiheng is now extremely hateful and can't eat his meat raw. Last time Lei Bin killed the guards in front of him, which made him extremely angry.
"It's not the right time. We have to wait for the right time. Otherwise, we will become the target of public criticism. We have a lot of other things to do now. Ling Wei looked at his son and couldn't help sighing. Compared with Lei Bin, it was much worse.
"Okay, what does my father need me to do?" Ling Yiheng asked for it.
"I need you to enter the military department now. We must have someone in the military department, so that we can have strength." Ling Weidao.
"Good." Ling Yiheng agreed.
"Have you become the police chief?" Returning to the room, Ding Shuxue also felt incredible after listening to Lei Bin's words.
"Hey, that's right. It seems that I can do well no matter where I am." Lei Bin said proudly.
"In this case, your power is getting bigger and bigger, will you finally reach the level of subversion of the empire?" Ding Shuxue couldn't help thinking so.
Now, Lei Bin's promotion is like sitting on a rocket, so Ding Shuxue is so whimsical.
Lei Bin immediately curled his lips and said, "This is impossible. You don't know how powerful this emperor is. As long as he is alive, I absolutely have no possibility of subverting the empire. If he dies one day, it's still possible."
"Are their emperors so powerful?" Ding Shuxue couldn't help but be surprised to hear Lei Bin's praise for Huang Fuming.
"Yes, it's very powerful. If he were in the Federation, I guess he could make the Federation into an imperial country." Lei Bin knew that in the Federation, many people actually have this ambition to turn the Federation into a dictatorial regime. However, because of the Lei family, these people's ambitions failed in the end.
But if it is this Huangfu, maybe it can really be done. This guy is too deep and unfathomable. This kind of person is really born to engage in politics.
"Isn't there such an emperor in the empire a great threat to our federation?" Ding Shuxue couldn't help worrying.
Lei Bin smiled and said, "Don't worry, the empire has him, and the Federation has me. What are you afraid of? As long as I'm here, the empire won't step into the federation.
Ding Shuxue immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Then you can search for as much information as possible in the empire and create some chaos. In the end, we still have to return to the Federation.
Lei Bin nodded and said, "Of course, by the way, I thought of a way. You don't have to stay in the house every day. You can follow me."
"Really?" Ding Shuxue was immediately excited when she heard Lei Bin's words. During this period, she was locked in this room every day and had nothing to do. The only interesting thing was that she was crazy with Lei Bin.
