Jiang Yan's eyes were about to burst as he stared at Xia Lishuang. The white hair that had been carefully dyed with ebony charcoal now showed its true colors, and the whole person looked old and embarrassed.
Such a sharp question actually caused many officials in the audience to whisper.
Yes, Wen Ranran has made many achievements, but what he did today was really bold and excessive. If it were anyone else, he would definitely dig up the graves of his ancestors.
But His Majesty is now protecting her like this. Is it possible that this is nepotism?
Unexpectedly, facing Jiang Yan's question, Xia Lishuang only showed a hint of amusement between her brows.
"But... I have always known the problem you mentioned!"
Jiang Yan didn't believe it: "How is that possible?!"
"How is it impossible? Otherwise, why do you think Emperor Lan Xuan was willing to surrender and withdraw his flag and establish a vassal state? At that time, he had already recognized his own daughter. When I moved to the southwest, it seemed that I was fighting against the Lan Kingdom. In fact,
It’s just to get rid of the traitors. The King of Shu is very ambitious, and there are also spies in the Lan Kingdom. It’s just cooperation between the two parties. Jiang Yan, you claim to be smart and arrogant, but for this matter, you are really too stupid!"
Xia Lishuang slowly walked up to Jiang Yan, the bright yellow dragon robe stinging her so much that Jiang Yan almost fainted.
Jiang Yan's face turned pale and he looked at Wen Ranran and then at Xia Lishuang.
"You... aren't you afraid of someone else sleeping soundly beside the dragon's pillow?!"
Xia Lishuang slightly raised her lips and said firmly, "What I resist is never the talents of the world, but this decadent court. It's you people who hold high positions, but always seek your own interests and are unwilling to care about the lives of the people.
I want to clean up the muddy water in this court... Who told you that this king really wants to resist the powerful nobles?!"
"That's right! You think everyone is just like you, always being stupid!"
Feng Cheng, who was suppressing Jiang Yan, was not less angry with the other party at first, and now he was not in a good mood.
Next to him, Wang Fengshan, who is over forty years old, is a little embarrassed at the moment.
After all, he was also a member of this gang in the first place.
But now he finally understood what Xia Lishuang said. Just like today, the Wang family had been in decline for a while, but because his brother Wang Shujun was now disarmed and returned to his fields, he was granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and was named the Duke of the State.
Young and outstanding disciples also have their own official positions in the court.
The momentum of the Wang family is still higher than that of the Wen family, but Xia Lishuang will divide the power of the Wang family and reuse other generals, but has never deliberately suppressed the Wang family in the court.
Only by doing this can one truly be called a wise king.
Jiang Yan listened to Xia Lishuang's words, his eyes completely blurred, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
He seemed to remember that once upon a time, the Jiang family was a small and medium-sized family like this, and his purpose in entering the court was to be loyal to the emperor and the country, and to contribute diligently to government affairs.
However, I don’t know when it started. Maybe it was when I watched the Ji family, Li family, and Han family being executed step by step, and watched the Wen family, and the Wang family decline step by step, but my own Jiang family, from beginning to end,
The higher you climb.
Power caused him to lose his original intention, and he gradually accepted and exposed his greedy nature.
In the end, I saw him building a tall building, watching him entertain guests, and seeing his building collapse...
After working hard all his life, he finally spent his later years in a state of confusion. He was obsessed with believing in so-called outsiders, believing in generations of emperors and ministers. In the end... he forgot the original intention of going to court in the first place.
Jiang Yan's eyes were distracted, and he was taken away like a puppet on strings, and was about to wait for his fate in prison.
The moment the palace door opened, a ray of extremely warm and bright skylight penetrated the window lattice and shone on the main hall.
Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang looked at the court side by side, as if through the square sky, they could see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
