Chapter 1144: The King's Eyes and Ears

After listening to Baifeng's words, he finally understood that it was exactly as he had seen when Chengqie held the document; Baifeng truly wanted them to do this thing, and it was not that he wanted to scare them into restraining themselves a bit.

It seems the King must have known about the gathering of Nobles he had just convened, but since this matter was beneficial to the King, he did not interfere. However, regarding this identical document, the King must have known everything; he was just sometimes too lazy to care, and this could also be considered a kind of warning to them.

It was true, Sanxin wanted to hammer his own head; what kind of person was the King? He knew about things in places as far away as could be, let alone those in Huaxia. Although the King did not currently display any abilities to fly to Heaven or burrow into the Earth, the King's status as the son of the Heaven God was not false.

Regarding everything now, and the King's past status, only the claim that the King was the son of the Heaven God could explain it all. As time passed, Sanxin would always forget something. If the King himself no longer spoke of it, should he also not remember what status the King held?

"King, I understand. I, I will speak with all the Nobles. As long as they have thoughts in this regard, I will contact them, and then we will discuss a good method together. Within these few days, we will send people to the Suiren clan to recruit people together. How does that sound to you?"

Baifeng nodded slightly: "That is fine, that is fine. As for Chengqie, you all should not worry about him for now; you cannot delay his learning progress. Aren't those guards of his still training in the Battalion? The time is about right now; they should have finished their training. You go and contact them yourself; those in the Ministry of War know what to do."

"When the time comes, let them lead the way and also act as your lobbyists. How many people you can bring back depends on yourselves. You should have already discussed how much benefit to give them, or to Chengqie, so I do not need to say it. This is your own private matter, and I will not interfere."

Sanxin's legs went soft immediately, and he almost fell. Right now, under his robe, his legs were still trembling. Baifeng's words were telling him thoroughly that he knew everything they had done, and he also knew what benefits they had given Chengqie.

However, because of this document, Sanxin could not help but wonder if it was all told to Baifeng by Chengqie, because evidence from every aspect indicated that only Chengqie could have done it.

But at the beginning, Chengqie was such a person, yet now he was so loyal to the King, saying everything and willing to do anything. How did the King manage this? It seems he must keep his distance from Chengqie in the future.

For this matter, whatever was promised to Chengqie must be given, but in the future, he must distance himself from him. Although everyone was a Noble, there were still differences between Nobles. These old-generation Nobles who had struggled together were all of one mind, and they were of the same mind as Baifeng. After all, they were able to reach this position because loyalty was the first priority; now there was just a bit more greed.

Then there were those young ones, or even the Nobles who entered Huaxia only after the founding of Huaxia; they were on another level. Their Nobility was usually quite low, and they were much lower than these founding elders. Not only was their Nobility low, but even those with higher Nobility were polite when they saw the elders with lower Nobility. After all, they all had a share of the credit for the founding of Huaxia.

Now, those old men and women of Huaxia did not have to bow when they saw young people with low Nobility, and it was perfectly fine. Those young Barons and Viscounts did not dare to have any objections. After all, when someone said, "When I was digging wild vegetables and mixing mud with the King, you didn't even know where you were," this was absolute suppression.

And besides these two types of Nobles, there was now a third, which was also very lonely at the moment: this person from the Suiren clan, Baoxi, and the future Suiren Emperor, Chengqie. They did not have clear Nobility, but they were also Nobles. They had an inherent gap with these Nobles of Huaxia, which Sanxin only suddenly realized at this moment.

Although they no longer had a competitive or hostile relationship now, and would even be colleagues, it was still difficult to make them fully integrate. In terms of Nobility, Chengqie would even be higher than them in the future. In any case, looking at it from all aspects, one simply could not have too much contact with his family.

Furthermore, the King's current situation seemed to be that he did not want the Suiren clan Nobles and the Huaxia Nobles to unite. Even at the beginning, when Chengqie took the document to find him, Sanxin, it was directly directed by the King. There might not have been any involvement from the Ministry of Rites in this; the document might have been something the King just grabbed at random, signed his name, and handed to Chengqie personally, then gave Chengqie a reasonable excuse to come and contact them to achieve his own goal.

After going around in such a circle, Baifeng's business was done, and the discussions of these Nobles were all known to Baifeng. In the end, he even called him here to scare him with various details, telling Sanxin, and also telling all the Nobles, that only what I, Baifeng, have said can be done; what has not been said is not allowed.

At the same time, Chengqie was isolated. Now Sanxin did not dare to have any communication with Chengqie. If Chengqie brought another document next time and asked him to help read it, he would go crazy; that would definitely mean the King had some new requirements again.

It would be about time when Chengqie could recognize all the characters; by then, Chengqie would not be able to use this excuse, but there might be other excuses.

Moreover, it was possible that other Nobles also had the possibility of being the King's eyes and ears. Perhaps it was one of them who hid well enough. Sanxin felt his legs getting softer and softer as he thought about it, and he suddenly swayed, almost falling.

Baifeng was still wondering why Sanxin did not answer his question. Seeing Sanxin almost fall, Baifeng was so startled that he stood up from his chair.

"Quick, quick! Help him sit down."

Baifeng also hurriedly walked to Sanxin's side and bent down to take Sanxin's pulse. Sanxin hurriedly explained: "King, I was just distracted and didn't stand steady. It is nothing."

Baifeng only felt that Sanxin's arms and wrists were covered in sweat, and his heart rate was very fast, but it might also be because he was scared by almost falling just now.

"Catch your breath. I will check you again after you calm your emotions. If you are sick, you must go to the Hospital immediately. Now that you are old, you must pay more attention to your health, you know? The weather is getting colder and colder. Make your clothes thick. Even if you come to work wrapped in a fur quilt, I will not say anything to you. Sanxin, health is important; you must not collapse."
