Although Xia Lishuang had already secured the throne at a young age, the only two remaining brothers, King Wen, were fine. The so-called tit-for-tat King Qingyun was not an economical person at first glance.
Xia Lishuang was facing a crisis. He had fought wars and wars for many years and almost emptied the national treasury.
Had it not been for the relaxation of policies this year, and the private sector had won another bumper harvest thanks to the weather in many places, I am afraid that based on the previous state treasury reserves, it would not have been able to last long.
Therefore, Jiang Yan decided to cooperate with Xia Lishuang, but the prerequisite was to ensure the glory of the Jiang family.
But that's where the misfortune came from.
Yu Shu was about to become the queen, but Wen Ranran suddenly came back and made Xia Lishuang critically ill. With ulterior motives, Jiang Yan had to make a bold decision.
Of course, it is impossible to repair the relationship with King Qingyun and King Wen, so... As long as Xia Lishuang, who is now "critically ill", does not die, as long as today's ceremony of sealing the queen is completed, then the entire palace will
, it’s all his world.
As long as he supports the young emperor to ascend to the throne despite the pressure and takes the power into his own hands, are he still afraid that he won't be able to deal with these two people?
One of these two people had just returned to the court and had little power in his hands, while the other was a so-called civil servant and was not worth mentioning at all.
Jiang Yan's mind was spinning a thousand times, and he looked at the two royal brothers with some fear.
"Hmph! I'm just following the emperor's order to eliminate this so-called disrespectful person. What? You two princes have any objections?!"
"Of course!" Xia Liyuan casually glanced at Jiang Yan's python robe, but found something unusual.
"Even if he is a highly respected minister, no matter how he is, once his clothes are out of line, it will be a crime of disrespect. Doctor Xie's shamelessness in front of the palace is just because of anger, but why doesn't Taishi Jiang think about it and reflect on it?
What did you do?"
Jiang Yan was startled, "I am sitting up straight. Today is another happy day for my daughter to get married, and she will be the future father-in-law of the country! What's wrong?"
On the side, Xia Liqing, who had been silent for a long time, looked at the other party with murderous intent surging in his eyes. At this moment, he just reminded him lightly, "Ordinary ministers' python robes can be said to have four or five claws, but your majesty only has four or five claws."
I can embroider, but...now what is embroidered on Taishi Jiang's python robe is a five-clawed golden dragon..."
Xia Liyuan glanced at his brother approvingly, and sneered, "This can't be said to be disrespectful, right? This... is deceiving the emperor and disregarding his superiors, and his rebellious intentions are known to everyone on the road!"
Jiang Yan's expression changed completely at the word "treason".
Jiang Yan pointed at the python robe on his body, but he didn't react for a while. This court robe was sent from the palace. He was always busy with everything, so of course he wouldn't care about these so-called trivial matters.
It's just...this python robe was given to me by Xia Lishuang?!
Jiang Yan clenched his fists and suddenly felt something bad.
"But this... this is a reward from His Majesty! Old minister... can you still live without wearing it?!"
Jiang Yan felt something was wrong and quickly pushed the blame onto Xia Lishuang, "Your Majesty! You are the one to judge! Is this the truth?"
Xia Lishuang, who was sitting on the dragon chair and had been silent all this time, looked at Jiang Yan and for some reason, her body started to tremble.
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and felt even more strange. After a while, he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly opened the jade curtain in front of the other person's forehead. That face was definitely that of Xia Lishuang, but it was obviously a bit too rough.
Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and looked at Xia Lishuang, who had been silent from beginning to end. With the spirit of burning the boat, he stretched out his hand and tore off the mask on the other person's face with lightning speed.
A strange and frightened face appeared in front of all the officials, and everyone was shocked!
