Shen Ye opened his eyes and found that he had entered a bad conspiracy novel.
Good news: He is the powerful commander of the Jin Yiwei and controls the world's intelligence network.
Bad news: In three days, he will be killed by the new emperor for "attempted rebellion."
Even worse news: His treason charge was framed.
Even worse news: He has no intention of overturning the case or rebelling. He just wants to quietly engage in intelligence work, raise bamboo rats, and then lie down to die three days later.
"It's all about death anyway. Set up your spies before you die, and be reincarnated into a peaceful and prosperous age in your next life."
He thought so, and he did so.
He saved the prince who should have been deposed - because the prince was the most useful one in his eyes.
He saved the general who should have died in battle - because the general was the one he raised.
He protected the imperial concubine who should have been buried - because the imperial concubine was his spy in the harem.
He was just cleaning up the mess for his men.
He didn't want to rebel.
But——
The prince said: "If Shen Qing does not proclaim himself emperor, he will go to court early every day, pay tribute every year, and pay tribute every year - until you agree."
The general said: "If the sword of Jinyiwei doesn't clear the way for you, what's the use of it?"
The imperial concubine said: "There are three thousand people in the harem, and I will only warm your bed."
Shen Ye:? ? ?
When one day, the most powerful person in the world knelt in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne," Shen Ye finally realized——
He was never a pawn.
He is the piece on the chessboard that everyone is betting on.
He thought he was choosing an emperor,
But everyone is choosing him.
