Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 921 881: Discord Between Civil and Military

"Let's set aside whether Prince Ning's death is related to this person, and disregard the extent of his skills. But right before our eyes, we have the best example: Chen Shiren is lying there.

Everyone must already know about the events that happened here yesterday. My recounting might be incomplete, but it certainly will be more exaggerated, rather than me making things up.

From this, we can see that the identity of the other side is undoubtedly significant, and because of this, we are absolutely unable to resist.

Even if the other side truly intends to usurp the throne and seize the whole of Dayou, it's beyond our capabilities to influence it.

Instead of resisting, we might as well follow the other side steadily, which might earn us a good reputation."

It must be said, the Chancellor's eloquence is certainly effective. After he finished speaking, those who were initially hesitant all nodded in agreement; evidently, they strongly agree with the Chancellor's words.

"The Chancellor is right, indeed the Chancellor is correct."

"Yes, currently in front of us, the other side easily killed Prince Ning, this shows their power is formidable. Consequently, no matter how we resist, we are unlikely to escape their grasp."

"Even though we now possess sufficient military power, it doesn't belong to each of us personally, but to the Royal Family. Without the Royal Family's decline, even if I hold command of the troops, I cannot deploy them."

At first, everyone was still discussing, but suddenly upon hearing this from the old General, everyone's expression became solemn, quickly putting away their small thoughts, and simultaneously, it dawned on them, Lin Yi is not merely what he appears to be on the surface.

Although Lin Yi has only been acquainted with Wang Wei for a short time, it must be said that the succession of the throne also includes the succession of military power.

As long as Lin Yi retains his current identity, this means the ultimate power of troop deployment remains in his hands. Without his half Tiger Talisman, even an experienced old General cannot thoroughly transform the army to his own surname.

In fact, this is why those old Generals have stayed, why they follow Lin Yi's command.

In their hearts, they are constantly pondering a small scheme, which is to see if they can ultimately control the military power themselves, and also hold that piece of the Tiger Talisman.

Once this is achieved, then they can truly be said to have succeeded.

"Yes, without that half Tiger Talisman, even though nominally I control an army of 100,000, it is only nominal. I might be called the chief officer, but have no authority to mobilize them fully."

"Ah, it seems this matter is not as simple as it appears, and likely this person has been planning for a long time, everything is within his calculations."

As this voice fades away, the crowd nodded in agreement. Clearly, in their hearts, Lin Yi's step today is not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a meticulously planned scheme.

If it were not for a plan, and if there were no deeper teamwork behind it, how could an ordinary person have such courage to directly cause such upheaval in the entire Dayou kingdom?

But who is the mastermind behind him? What is the purpose of his backer?

While these people were guessing wildly, they already arrived at the entrance of a side hall. At this moment, the Chancellor didn't dare to continue discussing, instead hastening to signal everyone to quiet down, cautiously bowing and moving forward.

Following his steps, those old Generals and key civil servants also strode into the small room.

Just at this moment, their faces were filled with worry. They truly feared this person might immediately end their sources of wealth.

Fortunately, after entering, Lin Yi didn't say much, but merely took stock of the current situation in Dayou.

This inevitably softened the tension in each person's heart, as long as the other side doesn't diminish their worth or power, this is what they wish to see. Whoever sits in that position doesn't matter to them.

However, in the following time, Lin Yi suddenly changed the topic, beginning to discuss military affairs, which made all those old Generals furrow their brows.

But contrary to their expectations, their impression was that when Lin Yi brought up military affairs, he would certainly think of ways to reclaim the military power from them, yet now he did not do so. On the contrary, he presented them with a very expansive blueprint.

Lin Yi told them, the soldier's duty is to be born for war, precisely because of this, they must seize the remaining two countries as quickly as possible, complete the unification swiftly.

Listening to these words, these old fellows' eyes brightened noticeably. Although now they hold high positions, don't forget, many are still idling at home, wishing for promotion, only war provides this path—to achieve military success, promoting them.

And now? This new king unlike the previous, weak and indecisive, who merely defended and retreated. The current one's words filled them with intense emotion, even igniting a fierce flame within their hearts.

This one does not aim merely at Dayou, but the entire realm, intending to swallow the other two countries as well.

Thinking about it seems somewhat unbelievable.

Even though they have become accustomed to luxury, they also crave war. Only war allows them to achieve greater merits.

This is in sharp contrast to the civil servants, who initially gathered to discuss the new king's ascension. Upon hearing Lin Yi advocate for war, the factions began immediately to bicker.
