Chapter 598 Perhaps Zhao Zheng is not human?
"Lord Ma?"
"Hey? You're here! What's up?"
The entire room was filled with extreme ecstasy; they were practically ready to throw a banquet on the spot.
The identities and allegiances of the two uninvited guests were all too obvious.
What are these people afraid of?
It's just that in their own territory, they're not much different from the emperor, but if they really offend the emperor, they'll be nothing in an instant.
But it’s different now!
Inaction is action!
Not opposing is supporting!
As for the principle of "driving a tiger to devour a wolf, unaware of the oriole behind," they certainly understood it as well.
But nobody cared.
Or rather, nobody thinks they'll be the unlucky one.
Therefore, the root cause of their ecstasy can actually be explained in another way.
A more realistic and easier-to-accept explanation.
Those gentry and powerful figures were truly wicked, and truly incompetent.
Their weakness is their weakness.
Food is their attribute.
These people have always been very clear about their own position.
Besides, a vegetable can grow into a tree in a hundred years!
And now, the opportunity has come!
"Lord Ma, we really owe you a lot for keeping things under control this time. Otherwise, those two wouldn't have been so easy to talk to."
"We are truly grateful!"
"Yes, yes, we are extremely grateful!"
So when others saw Ma Mo lost in thought, they assumed he was overjoyed, or perhaps those with a suspicious mind were worried that he might also become suspicious.
Suddenly, everyone started fawning over him.
Of course, these people wouldn't just offer empty words of flattery.
Gratitude has always been a pronoun for good, not always an adverb of degree.
"We're all in this together, so it's only right that I, Ma, step forward!"
But by now, Ma Mo has a clear intention to retire.
He was genuinely a little scared.
Especially when he met the gazes of those people in front of him, each one filled with an increasingly greedy look.
He then realized just how grave his crime had been.
He couldn't stand the Zhao family; why was the Zhao family more prestigious than him?
A crime so minor it couldn't be more minor.
Even if it were the Holy Mansion, the Zhao family would still be nothing more than subjects.
A crime so minor it couldn't be more minor.
Even secretly instructing these people to assassinate members of the Zhao family would be considered a minor offense to him.
After all, there were quite a few people who wanted the Zhao family to perish.
But if someone actually dares to do it themselves, or if their subordinates hear about it and actually dare to do it, very few of them can be considered to have a clear head!
Therefore, he could still offer sophistry, at least enough to avoid the death penalty.
But now, at this fork in the road, taking the next step will be completely different.
All the royal relatives, veteran officials, and nobles of the Sun and Moon Dynasty secretly shared an outrageous consensus.
Or you could split it into two, but the first one isn't too outrageous.
Firstly, if the Fengtian Palace sentences you to death at midnight, the Qianqing Palace might keep you alive until dawn. Conversely, the Sun and Moon Dynasty doesn't offer this reciprocal option.
This consensus has been around for a long time, and the older people or the closer they are to their loved ones, the sooner they will realize it.
Secondly, it has emerged in recent years!
This means that the lesson is right before our eyes!
That is-
Loyal! minister! die!
Moreover, among all the lessons learned, the biggest and most numerous real-world example is the head of the Zhao family!
Everyone in the world knows that many heads of the Zhao family have died, and almost all of them died as saints, as if they had completed their earthly missions and returned to heaven.
But Ma Mo and those people in the court, anyone who is well-informed or has some independent thinking.
Who can't understand or see through the intricacies behind this?
Where in the world would there be any immortals descending to earth to save all living beings?
It's Zhao Zheng!
They were too loyal! Too devoted! They were practically paragons of loyalty!
Having completed its mission on Earth, it returned to Heaven.
He voluntarily stepped down after reaching the highest position in the court.
It is when someone's achievements overshadow those of their superior that they voluntarily step down.
After becoming second only to one person, he voluntarily stepped down.
But even so, even if Zhao Zheng has done this much!
That prestige that was passively accumulated, that little bit of blessing left behind only after the predecessors are gone!
Even so, they still managed to get targeted!
Then, what about a scoundrel like Ma Mo?
However, before withdrawing, in order to prevent these people from noticing any flaws, Ma Mo still planned to come up with one last plan.
But Ma Mo did not expect that this was merely a confirmation of his intention to retreat and a preparation of the surrender document.
He immediately felt a sense of relief he had never felt before.
In this state of mind, a feeling seems to arise inexplicably.
Of course, he could understand this feeling himself.
In fact, it was because he relaxed that he finally dared to think more, to think from different angles, from angles he had never dared to think about before.
Naturally, you will gain new insights.
That is, in case...
What if the Zhao family head who is currently in charge of the reform, namely Zhao Zheng, has never actually been worried about any counterattack or targeting from them?
But they just haven't reached the intensity they wanted yet!
That's right! They've always referred to the Zhao family mansion as the Zhao Saint's Mansion! Zhao Zheng, the Zhao Saint!
Analyzing everything solely from a human perspective, scheming solely based on human reactions, treating everything as if it were just another human being!
But unlike most people in the world, they have never started from the most simple and unpretentious perspective.
It has a holy name, a holy person, holy principles, and holy practices.
The Zhao residence is the same as the Zhao Sheng residence!
Zhao Zheng is none other than the Sage Zhao!
