Chapter 1503 - 1504: The Invitation from Heavenly Palace Corporation
It seems that the Emperor of Great Tang has received some kind of information and learned about the conflict between Ye Luo and those aristocratic elites in Yunkai City!
This is granting Ye Luo power, isn’t it?
Of course, even so, Ye Luo wasn’t overly thrilled, because he understood that he was still just a pawn!
A pawn will always be just a pawn. As long as you cannot shed the identity of being a pawn, you will never become the one moving the pieces!
Even if you are the "king" on the chessboard, you remain nothing more than a piece!
The reason the Emperor of Great Tang is granting Ye Luo power is actually due to the ongoing struggles between royal authority and the aristocratic families!
Indeed, while the primary external foe of the Great Tang Empire is the Da Yue Empire, it does not mean that the empire is free of internal problems. In fact, the Emperor has already long desired to weaken the aristocracy!
Now, by granting Ye Luo authority, it’s merely a strategy to use him as a tool to suppress the aristocratic families!
If it succeeds, the resentment of the aristocrats would solely fall upon Ye Luo.
If it fails, at worst, Ye Luo could simply be sacrificed. For the Emperor, it wouldn’t cost him anything at all!
What a brilliant calculation, ringing like a flawless abacus!
Alas, Ye Luo had seen through it long ago!
