Being stared at by Chen Xuan's gaze that penetrated his heart, Qin Zheng suddenly felt like he had been transferred from the warm Yujing Pavilion to the bitingly cold Antarctica.
Once upon a time, he also looked at his subordinates with this look.
When he saw the subordinates who were famous in various provinces and cities, they were sweating coldly and feeling uneasy.
Now I am just like those subordinates.
The reason why he was so frightened was because Qin Zheng knew Chen Xuan too well.
At Chen Xuan's level, as long as he doesn't care about the consequences, he can kill any big shot.
But Qin Zheng didn't expect that Chen Xuan would look at him like this one day.
Misstep! "Mr. Chen, wouldn't you rather believe in illusory hexagrams than Qin?
I have made so many great contributions to China, and yet you want to convict me just because of the sixteen-character hexagram. Can Mr. Chen really tolerate such a ridiculous move?"
Every word of Qin Zheng contains true feelings.
At this moment, he gave full play to his language talent.
The emotions and anger of a great man are invisible, and he is not surprised when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. All these behaviors that Qin Zheng should have were thrown out of the sky by him.
Only by acting more truthfully can you win Chen Xuan's trust.
From ancient times to the present, countless scheming big men have used the trick of revealing their true feelings at critical moments, which can move their subordinates or colleagues to a complete mess. It is very rare for this big man to have no reservations about him.
It's a pity that Chen Xuan has a clear understanding of people's hearts after going through the road of escaping disaster. Qin Zheng's sincerity at this time may not be the most true expression.
"Bu Qin, with so many people present, I only believe in Ji Wushuang."
Chen Xuan's words shocked Qin Zheng and made Ji Wushuang extremely moved.
The reason why Chen Xuan said this was because he and Ji Wushuang had experienced life and death together.
With so many people, anyone could deceive him, but Ji Wushuang would never do it.
Hearing Chen Xuan say this, a silent smile appeared in the eyes of the old Imperial Master.
His move was a complete victory! "Qin Zheng, now you have only one choice, which is to give up this power and retire early, so that you can enjoy your old age in peace and ensure that your descendants will have no worries."
"Old Imperial Master is really good at calculating!"
Qin Zheng's tone was stern, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Actually, you have been plotting against me, Qin, for a long time, right?
It's just that you can't bring down Qin with your words alone, so you set up a trap in tonight's national division election to let Mr. Chen choose to side with you!"
"I'm just thinking about the country, how can I talk about scheming?"
The old Imperial Master smiled slightly, his eyes glowing with wisdom.
"But you are right about one thing. Before tonight, if I used hexagrams to convict you, I would not be able to bring you down. But tonight is different. Mr. Chen and I are both people who think about the country's justice. We both
The combined energy of each individual is enough to remove your supreme power."
"Humph, you are just taking advantage of Mr. Chen!"
Qin Zheng said this with great reluctance. He was still lucky and hoped that Chen Xuan would not force him to relinquish power.
Chen Xuan understood very clearly the hidden meaning in the conversation between the old Imperial Master and Qin Zheng.
In fact, both of them regarded him as a pawn in an invisible game.
Qin Zheng believed that Chen Xuan kept his promise and would not help Ji Wushuang, so he lost first on this point.
Chen Xuan valued his promises more than his feelings of kindness. Ji Wushuang was about to be backlashed by the astrolabe at that time. If he didn't take action, Ji Wushuang's lifespan would be greatly reduced again.
The old Imperial Master said just the right words to allow Chen Xuan to help Ji Wushuang, which was equivalent to pushing Chen Xuan who had already made up his mind.
Next, Qin Zheng expressed his dissatisfaction, and the old master allowed Qin Zheng to enter Yujing Pavilion. This was the second level of the game.
Qin Zheng believed that Chen Xuan would choose neutrality considering the fact that he owed him a favor.
Moreover, the old Imperial Master clearly wants to take advantage of Chen Xuan's influence. Chen Xuan is a smart man, and he is also an arrogant person. He should not want to be taken advantage of.
At this point, Qin Zheng, who thought he had figured out Chen Xuan's character, lost again.
After all, Qin Zheng could not have calculated that Chen Xuan and Ji Wushuang had gone through life and death, so he could not have expected that Chen Xuan would completely trust Ji Wushuang.
In addition, the old Imperial Master suppressed others with his country's justice. Even if Chen Xuan knew that the old Imperial Master wanted to borrow his energy, he had to stand with the old Imperial Master.
This is the third level of game between the two people.
So far, the three-level game between Qin Zheng and the old Imperial Master has been won by the old Imperial Master, and everything is under the control of this wise old man.
Originally, a hexagram could not convict Qin Zheng, but the old master did it! "Qin Zheng, with your personality, can't you see that Mr. Chen will not be used by anyone?
Tonight I am only responsible for interpreting the hexagrams. If Mr. Chen is willing to let you go, there is nothing I can do for you. Everything is decided by Mr. Chen."
The old master's words were said in an understatement, but the weight contained in them was beyond Qin Zheng's ability to bear.
Because the old Imperial Master handed over the final decision-making power to Chen Xuan, from a clear point of view, the old Imperial Master had no intention of taking advantage of Chen Xuan. He just wanted to let Chen Xuan see Qin Zheng's true plan through this election.
.
Chen Xuan himself originally wanted to find out whether Qin Zheng had disobedient intentions, but the old master took the opportunity to point it out, so that Chen Xuan got the truth he wanted to know tonight.
"Qin Department, stop being greedy for power, let's stop here."
Chen Xuan's faint words made Qin Zheng feel anger, unwillingness, resentment, hesitation and other emotions welling up in his heart.
He once thought that he could take advantage of Chen Xuan's momentum and soar into the sky.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan tonight became the biggest stumbling block in his career. It should be said that it was an insurmountable high wall, blocking his way to the highest peak.
This is a dead end, but Qin Zheng is unwilling to do so. He would rather wait for more than ten or twenty years for this high wall to be removed before leaving, rather than take a step back.
"Mr. Chen, for General Lin's sake, can you give Qin a chance tonight?
After returning home, Qin must repent for the ideological mistakes he made!"
Qin Zheng softened his tone, but he was retreating in order to advance.
Chen Xuan looked at General Lin and saw a bitter smile of disappointment on General Lin's face: "Old Qin, when we were comrades in arms, I knew that you had great ambitions and would sooner or later embark on the road of kingship. But in this era,
I don’t need a king like you, so stop it.”
"Old Lin, you?"
Qin Zheng took half a step back and looked at General Lin with an expression of disbelief.
Chen Xuan exuded a cold aura and pressed towards Qin Zheng: "Qinbu, you have been friends with General Lin for many years. You should know very well what kind of person he is. He will never be selfish. In the face of national justice, he will never do anything.
I beg you for mercy.”
"good!"
Qin Zheng suddenly said hello, then turned his eyes back to Chen Xuan's face, and met Chen Xuan's eyes, showing no fear at all.
"We won't talk about human relations, nor will we talk about Mr. Chen's breach of your promise. We will only talk about how many practical things I, Mr. Qin, have done for China over the years to benefit the country and the people."
