Chapter 621: Chapter 571: Aren’t You Afraid of Capsizing?
“It’s not like that, but the matter at hand is significant, and I believe I owe you an explanation,” Pei Xuanjing shook his head and declared.
No matter what, and regardless of how much I helped to elevate the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, even if I am the co-holder of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, I can only regard myself as having a partial share in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
But there’s no denying that the emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty is Zhu Houji, and the scholars and warriors behind him have been the driving force of its prosperity. They have poured countless sweat and tears to make the Great Ming Divine Dynasty strong over the decades.
No matter their intentions, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty is the fruit of their labor and the return of their hard work. As an outsider who merely holds the title of national teacher, I absolutely cannot make decisions without their consent. Even if I believe a choice benefits the current state of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, making a decision without communicating with them goes against my principles.
Moreover, when it comes to matters especially involving benefit allocation, I understand clearly that no one is willing to easily give up their gains. Thus, if I make a decision alone, it will inevitably cause complaints.
“Master Pei overthinks things. I always remember your kindness and dare not forget it,” Zhu Houji stated earnestly.
No matter how wary he and the council elders feel about Pei Xuanjing’s existence, no matter how many times they have tried to diminish Pei Xuanjing’s influence, he also understands how significant Pei Xuanjing’s contribution to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty has been.
More importantly, given the current situation, they cannot do without Pei Xuanjing. He plays a significant role in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, especially in the coming circumstances. They cannot divide and this would harm the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
Moreover, Zhu Houji is aware that ceding benefits is painful, but it is a necessary action. Otherwise, they will face more opponents and enemies, and the situation will get more chaotic.
