Chapter 200 - Do You Still Remember?

The king of Yijun stood there like a rock. He wasn't very intelligent. Speaking about people capable of government affairs, he was the worst among everyone present.

Everything Xie Lianzhen said was clear and logical, and he had nothing to say in response.

Right at this moment, Ding Qingqing sneered. "Young Master indeed talks fancily. One or two sagacious prime ministers – how easy would that be? We should be happy if we could get even one after three generations. Does Young Master think that choosing sagacious prime ministers is the same as choosing fruits in the market?"

"Emissary Ding, don't look down on the heroes of this world!" Xie Lianzhen slowly replied. "I've mentioned it just now; it's possible since the queen has already tidied everything up perfectly. They only need to go by the book, and nothing will go wrong for the next few years. As for sagacious prime ministers, they don't need much talent, they only need to put morality first and be virtuous. There are so many disciples in the School of Mingde, so how could they not pick out a few? Just take yourself, Emissary Ding, as an example. How many smart students did you step on back then? They may not be as scheming as you, but as for other characteristics, they may be better than you, who knows?"

"Young Master, you're thinking that way because you look down on me. If any random smart student could be a sagacious prime minister, then we would already have a bunch!" Ding Qingqing shouted. "King Shi, don't listen to his nonsense. We can't turn back now!"

Lu Mingshu looked at the situation silently. Even though it was the King of Yijun who brainwashed Ding Qingqing into doing this, it's Ding Qingqing who's more unwavering at the crucial point. She can clearly tell that what's done is done. Even if they stop midway, the queen won't let them off. If they just finish it now, they may still have a chance. As long as the King still takes him as a brother, he may be able to make a comeback.

"You're right." Hearing her, the king of Yijun came to see the truth.

"Haish!"

"Why are you sighing?" He planned to ignore it, but he couldn't help asking when he heard Xie Lianzhen sighing.

"Such a pity."

"What's a pity?"

"I pity Jiayan. She won't live a good life from today onward."

The king of Yijun stared at him coldly. "I'm only putting up with you because of Jiayan. You best not cross the line!"

Xie Lianzhen smiled thinly. "King Shi, you should take note. She may be headstrong, but there's still a future for her. Now, because of you, it's all ruined. You thought that you'd win, but did you even think about what would happen if you lost? How will Jiayan survive on her own? I'm afraid that neither the royal family nor the Seventh Truth Platform will shelter her any longer."

"King Shi, don't listen to his nonsense," Ding Qingqing said. "If you can take control, people will only respect State Master more, but if you concede defeat now, his words will be the State Master's fate! This kind of thing... either we do it all the way or not at all."

Seeing the firmness in the king of Yijun's eyes, Xie Lianzhen shook his head. It wasn't hard to get him to do whatever he wanted with his words, but with Ding Qingqing here, it was hard. Even though she was currently muddle-headed, her intelligence still remained.

That's all he could do. Hopefully...

"King Shi, do it quickly!" Ding Qingqing shouted. "His Majesty could escape at any time, and the Seventh Truth Platform elders...! The longer we take, the more unfavorable it is."
