How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 898 - 706: Lin Weiyang’s Court Appearance (Part 4)
Not just a mere assertion, those who colluded with the Mental Path have specific examples...
"Your Majesty!" Lei Tianlun said, "If this secret intelligence is released, the four nations will surely be thrown into chaos!"
"Indeed, in that case, the pressure on our borders will be greatly reduced!" Song Lifu said, "In my humble opinion, this should be released immediately!"
"What does Zhou Aiqing think?" His Majesty glanced at another person below: First-rank Doctor Zhou He.
Zhou He shuddered slightly and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, since ancient times, matters involving privacy have often been spread with distortions. If this secret intelligence is true, Your Majesty’s public release would indeed be a brilliant strategy to withdraw forces. However, if it is not true, releasing it blindly would instead tarnish the name of our Great Wilderness Royal Family, and people would say the Great Wilderness Royal Family fabricates secrets of other nations with malicious intent, damaging Your Majesty’s reputation, and the prestige of the Great Wilderness Dynasty. Therefore, I believe a thorough verification is required, and it must not be released blindly."
His words were indeed reasonable and justifiable.
At least, from the standpoint of righteousness, there’s no flaw to be found.
It’s not that releasing it is prohibited, but that caution is necessary.
First, verify whether it’s true, then proceed with subsequent actions.
If an unsubstantiated message is blindly released, it would indeed damage the royal family’s face, and everyone would say the Great Wilderness Dynasty is immature and base, fabricating a foreign emperor’s privacy and smearing innocence. Such actions would disgrace anyone, let alone the king of a great nation?
Lei Tianlun and Song Lifu exchanged a glance, both seeing something peculiar in each other’s eyes.
Zhou He has been quite restrained lately.
However, his actions are increasingly cautious, and every word leaves no room for criticism, yet he always manages to prevent them from accomplishing what they intend.
Like the matter at hand.
He speaks reasonably, yet his ideas are not actionable. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
When a secret is to be announced, he demands verification, but how is that to be done? Verifying an emperor’s identity isn’t something you can just do at will. In fact, it’s totally unfeasible, but he uses this as an excuse for non-release. The reason is unassailable, but it prevents you from accomplishing anything...
His Majesty stared at this seemingly compliant first-rank doctor, his mind filled with mixed thoughts.
This doctor was once a prominent official under the former Crown Prince.
His relationship with the former Crown Prince is extraordinary.
He does not wish for this first-grade official to occupy the court’s conspicuous position for long, especially since he just executed the families of Song Yuncang’s paternal lineage.
Zhou He is Song Yuncang’s father-in-law.
The paternal lineage’s execution did not affect Zhou He, but Zhou He holds grievances over his son-in-law’s death.
This intensified His Majesty’s desire to take him down.
However, the court is the court. It’s not easy to take down a first-grade official, is it?
At this moment, Lin Weiyang spoke: "Your Majesty, I believe Lord Zhou’s words hold merit. It is indeed inappropriate for the Dahuang Court to release this message without verification."
His Majesty frowned slightly, you also think it’s inappropriate?
Then why the hell are you showing it to me?
But then Lin Weiyang continued: "However, facts are facts. Once the wind is let loose, various verifications will naturally arise. I believe that it is unnecessary for our Great Wilderness Dynasty to release this message. Just secretly arrange for a few people to paste this message throughout the streets and alleys of the four nations’ imperial cities overnight in the form of large-character posters. This will naturally trigger the furor we desire, and our Great Wilderness Royal Family can watch the drama unfold from the sidelines, so why unnecessarily get ourselves embroiled in the quagmire of ’verification’?"
This served as a direct counter to Zhou He.
It directly framed "verification" as a "quagmire."
