Chapter 507: Chapter 455 Only the Emperor has the Final Say! Distribution of the Number of Divine Positions
Seeing his father speaking in this manner, a few traces of resistance surfaced on Yan Deqiu’s face. He said, “If that’s the case, please instruct me further, Father.”
In response to the resistance on his son’s face, Yan Weizhong didn’t mind it in the slightest. In a serious tone, he said, “You said that National Tutor Pei Xuanjing is recognized as the best in the world, which is true. However, it isn’t up to him to make the final decisions.”
With a hint of sternness, he said: “Keep this in mind, my son. The one who has the final say in this world should be the Emperor. Regardless of what others think or how they view it, from my perspective, the only one who should have the final say in this world is the Emperor.”
In this world, the one who should have the final say ought to be the Emperor, and only the Emperor.

No matter what others say or think, Yan Weizhong owes his position today to the Emperor’s favor. He could seek to gain some benefits and make plans, but he mustn’t waver at all when it comes to significant matters of right and wrong. His loyalty lies solely with the Emperor.
It is the Emperor who granted him everything he has today. If he were to betray the Emperor one day, then the Emperor could just as effortlessly take it all away.
Thus, the only way for him to hold onto everything he has is to remain loyal to the Emperor, with no room for wavering on this point.
Listening to his father’s words, Yan Deqiu’s expression turned serious, instantly understanding his father’s meaning.
They are officials of the Great Ming, servants of the Emperor. While Pei Xuanjing is mighty and deserving of their respect and reverence, they must not forget their roles.
Yan Weizhong warned his son: “Right now, as the Emperor hasn’t stated his stance on this matter, it is difficult for anyone to discern what the Emperor thinks. However, since the Emperor hasn’t spoken, we must not decide anything on our own.”
