Looking for fics where Jin Guangyao is the power behind a decrepit Jin Guangshan instead of taking him out of play.

Hello hello

I have been wondering if there were any fics where after the point in the plot where JGY eliminates JZX and the 100 holed asshole from the line of succession (either orchestrating their murder à la canon or getting them to abdicate or secede from the family/clan/sect or something), he continues to keep JGS in power as a puppet king type figurehead so he can continue doing heinous bullshit in the background with less scrutiny, with the ability to scapegoat the Jin patriarch if JGY's crimes were brought to light, and also to hold his asshole father alive as he continues torturing him every day with whatever fresh hell instead of killing him and releasing him from the torment. Especially if this happens in fics that condense the 16 year time skip or move through it for one plot reason or other.

Kind of like Grima Wormtongue in The Two Towers with Théoden but, idk, sexier??

This doesn't need to be a major plot point, because most any fic will likely have WRH and JGY as the primary antagonists anyway, so as long as the reader gets to see the "front" that the other characters see until the big reveal, that's perfectly fine. Like maybe JGS is visibly senile or frail from age and the torture or sick as hell to the point of hospitalized or bedridden and everyone is confused as to why he's still holding onto power, but it's actually our favourite double/triple/quadruple agent holding him there just to watch him squirm.

If there isn't, and you want to write it, go ahead and do it (but please let me know if/when you do? I'd love to read it!)
