Qin Bohan felt quite helpless; the longer he served in the court, the more he realized that someone like him from a humble background, managing to reach his current position, was truly dependent on the perfect timing, environment, and synergy.
Back then, he happened to encounter the current Emperor's discontent with those old aristocrats, feeling they wielded too much power, and wanted to promote talented individuals from humble origins to counter those aristocrats, and he was the one selected.
He did not disappoint the Emperor's expectations, knowing that if he truly wished to stand out in the court, he could only be the blade in the Emperor's hand.
He, Zhu Haoran, and Chen Wenbai, despite their varying lengths of service with the Emperor, were greatly trusted by His Majesty for the same reason.
Do not be fooled by their current favored status with the Emperor; should the time come when they must be sacrificed, the Emperor would not be inclined to show mercy.
