Chapter 82 Let Go and Do It?!

  You were silent, but in your heart you were secretly nodding. The events of the past few days had left me feeling hopeless and I was determined to take drastic measures, but Your Majesty stopped me. And with Sunzi's safe return, my mood has naturally changed. If it weren't for your family, any other family would have been completely destroyed by now, even if they had pleased Your Majesty! Looking back, it was truly a hair-raising experience and I still feel a lingering fear.

  "Grandfather, your loyalty to the royal family is unwavering, that's undeniable; but that's just you. Jun Mo Xie said: "Although it seems like your family has absolute power now, in reality, all of your family's influence depends on a single imperial edict from His Majesty! As soon as this edict is issued, everything will collapse and disappear in an instant! I'm not used to this, and I believe neither are you, Third Uncle!"

  "I've never been accustomed to having my fate in someone else's hands, so I'd rather be a vagabond for life. But now that my vagabond days have been forced to come to an end, I must make a change, and the premise of this change is... I want to put the power of our family in our own hands!" Jun Mo Xie looked at Jun Wu Tian with sincerity: "This is my highest goal, my ultimate plan, and the foundation of all my plans!"

  "You think you can control your own destiny! You have this kind of thinking, which means you little brat has the makings of a rebel!" Lord Jun's body shook all over, and he glared at him fiercely.

  "Grandfather misunderstood, in my opinion, wanting to be an emperor and those who have already become emperors are just fools, especially those who aspire to be a wise and famous ruler are the biggest fools of all!!"

  Jun Mo Xie sneered with a smile: "Even if I held absolute power, even if I ruled over the land, even if I had three thousand beauties at my beck and call, it would all be meaningless to me, I have no interest whatsoever."

  "You!" Lord Jun's chest heaved with rage, his white beard blowing wildly about. For a man as loyal as Lord Jun, these words were undoubtedly blasphemous to the object of his utmost devotion. If it weren't for the fact that the speaker was Jun Mo Xie, he would have died seventeen or eighteen times over!

  "Grandfather, let's not beat around the bush. Today, I'll make it clear! Your Majesty will never allow our family to have such great power and also produce outstanding descendants! That throne is a huge threat! The cause of my father's, second uncle's, and two brothers' deaths, I will eventually investigate clearly. If there are any mysteries involved, I must seek justice." Jun Mo Xie said calmly. Alright, since I admit to being Jun Mo Xie, I naturally have to do something for this family; and this matter is probably the greatest worry of our family.

  The old master let out a deep sigh, pondered for a long time, stood up, turned his back, and said: "When the former emperor established the Tianxiang Kingdom, he intentionally relocated several major families within the country to Tianxiang City, granting them high-ranking positions. This approach has two great advantages; Firstly, all families are concentrated together, making it easier to control; Secondly, each family restrains each other, making it easier to balance power, only in this way can the imperial court gain the upper hand and control the overall situation."

  "At present, in Tianxiang City, apart from the Ye family being eliminated back then, several major families including the Jun, Li, Dugu, Murong and Tang families each occupy a side, without infringing on each other. In recent years, the Meng and Song families have also been added. However, fundamentally speaking, they are nothing more than minor clowns, absolutely unable to be mentioned in the same breath as the several major families mentioned earlier."

  "The military, with our Jun and Dugu families at the helm, now the Murong family wants to get involved in the military, but as long as I and Dugu are around, they absolutely can't get in! As for the Li and Meng families, on the surface, they appear to be our greatest opponents; constantly thinking of ways to take each other down. And these two families are also related by marriage, among the younger generation of the Li family, there's an exceptionally talented Li You Ran! The threat is naturally even greater."

  "In the various families, the Song family has always been low-key and can be ignored for now; while your family and the Dugu family are rivals in the military, often bickering and quarreling, with that old scoundrel Dugu being particularly disobedient to me. But these are not the main points; the key is that although our two families balance each other out, we will never truly tear each other apart because both families are loyal to the imperial family. This is a point you must remember! This is also the fundamental reason why your family can stand firm in the court and never fall."

  "Among all the families, the Mu Rong family has a very big ambition and must be guarded against; but at the same time, there is no need to be overly cautious."

  Among these big families, each has its own mind, and when the time comes for a real cleanup in the imperial capital. Everything will be on the surface, but before that, no matter how big things happen, they will also get along with each other, which is already an implicit principle recognized by all parties.

  "So now is the time for you young people to make waves and cause a stir, everyone is watching your antics, even if they are a bit outrageous, everyone just laughs it off, but at the same time, they are also paying attention to see which one of you young people has the most potential threat. You can clearly see this point, Grandpa is very pleased."

  The old master Jun avoided discussing the topic of investigating the cause of death of two generations of the Jun family, but instead analyzed the situation in the capital.

  "Your Majesty had intended to designate an heir three years ago, but after some consideration, he reluctantly gave up on the idea and let his three sons fight it out among themselves. He retreated behind the scenes, watching with a discerning eye as his three sons made fools of themselves. Your Majesty has always believed that all three sons are wolves! But in the competition between the three wolves, one will eventually emerge victorious, and the winner will be Your Majesty's successor."

  You gave a cold smile, but didn't say a word.

  The old master and the young lord both sighed and shook their heads, saying: "But a wolf is always a wolf, it will never transform into a tiger, let alone become a dragon! Even if it's the king of wolves, it still follows the ways of a wolf. However, Your Majesty obviously has no better choice, so you can only repeatedly coerce, repeatedly oppress, but also repeatedly intimidate, tame and train!"

  "Each of the old fox families, of course, saw this point and, thinking of their own family interests, were unwilling to easily intervene in the disputes between the princes; but within each family, there was always someone who was very close to one of the princes; invisibly, a balance was maintained!"

  "There are currently three families that have absolutely no connection with the three princes: first is the Ji family, second is the Dugu family, and third is the Li family."

  The old man seemed to be talking nonsense, saying things that had nothing to do with Jun Moxie's remarks. It was as if he was muttering to himself, yet also speaking to Jun Moxie. After getting to this point, he finally came to a conclusion and said: "So, what do you plan to do? As long as you have a clear idea in your mind, don't make too much of a scene, I'll just cooperate and let you do it."

  After finishing, Old Master Jun stood up with some fatigue and said: "Now Grandpa can't pretend to be young anymore, and can only watch from the side. Your Third Uncle's body... uh, disability, our family can only rely on you now. Whatever it is, as long as you have a plan in your heart, don't let our family fall into eternal damnation, that's all!"

  Jun Mo's eyes lit up, and he keenly grasped the meaning of Jun Lao Ye's last sentence: "Just let go and do it." This sentence had a rather profound meaning.

  No wonder you first gave me an analysis of the situation in Beijing, and it turns out that the main joke is this sentence. That means you can do whatever you want, my family will be your backing, but I won't get involved. But once something happens, I'll still take responsibility for covering up for you...

  But when it comes to San Shu's disability, why did he pause for a moment? This question was immediately answered -

  "Look, I can see the relief in your eyes, but as for your Third Uncle's leg, if you really have a way to fix it, then hurry up about it. No matter what the outcome is, just don't drag it out; if you keep dragging it out, not only will your Third Uncle be anxious, but I'm afraid someone else might get even more anxious."

  After finishing, the old man glared at him and scolded: "Hmph! You two, really think I'm senile? You're my grandson, that's my son, this is the Khan family mansion! How dare you collude with each other to deceive me? Can you deceive me? Truly ridiculous!"

  "Uh," Jun Mo Xie looked a bit embarrassed, rubbed his nose and explained: "I just didn't want to in case it doesn't work out, you'd be disappointed again."

  "I never had any hope for this matter to begin with!" The old man puffed out his chest and glared, his words striking Ji Mo Xie with considerable force, causing him to lower his head in a dark mood.

  "If by any chance you really cure me, do you think I'd be so stupid as to shout it from the rooftops and let everyone know?! Then have people set their sights on you two and plot against you one after another?! If there's anything like this again that you hide from me, watch out or I'll beat your butts to a pulp! Let you two never show your faces in public for the rest of your lives!"

  Don't be so garrulous and talkative, with your eyes wide open and tongue-tied.
