Chapter 559

Perhaps the only one his father looked up to was that peerless eldest prince from back then.

"Wrong."

"Regardless of how the two princes are, it is not for you or me to judge."

"The reason our Wang family can possess such a status is entirely because I have never intervened in this matter."

A trace of disappointment was in Wang Jian's eyes.

He had always thought he had taught this son of his very well.

He hadn't expected him to be so shortsighted, seeing only a tiny bit of benefit.

Honestly speaking, if Hu Hai could truly sit on that position in the end,

everything Wang Ben did today would be no problem.

But what if Young Master Hu Hai could not sit on that position?

Then everything he did today would be evidence of a crime that dragged his Wang family into the abyss.

He was able to let the Wang family maintain such immense wealth in such chaotic circumstances.

It was never because he leaned toward any one prince.

It was more that he wanted the Wang family to maintain a neutral stance among all the forces.

His Majesty thought the Wang family was too strong in military affairs and chose to support General Meng Tian.

He deliberately targeted General Meng Tian in the imperial court.

It was just to let His Majesty achieve a situation where the Wang family and the Meng family could stand against each other.

· ·····Please give flowers· ··

If not for that.

How could his Wang family have passed so many years smoothly?

Especially when the war on the border had ceased and the situation in the imperial court was stable.

"Father, I am not reconciled."

"Before, it was because of Young Master Mo that the military power in your hands was taken back by His Majesty."

"I am not reconciled; we have worked hard for so many years."

"Everything we have done has just gone down the drain so simply."

Wang Ben's emotions suddenly became agitated.

He began to speak loudly.

If it weren't for Young Master Mo, their Wang family would not have retreated from the front line of the border.

Admittedly, after returning to Xianyang City, they could enjoy themselves better.

But he, Wang Ben, just liked the feeling of having power in his hands.

Returning to Xianyang City, they only had the illustrious reputation they had built in the army.

But they had no power in their hands.

Originally, Wang Ben was quite satisfied with this situation.

But he hadn't expected His Majesty to choose to support General Meng Tian to stand against their Wang family.

This made Wang Ben instantly feel that the status of his Wang family was threatened.

Watching the power he once had being held in Young Master Mo's hands.

Wang Ben's heart felt as if it were being gnawed by ants, filled with poison.

So, when he first sensed that plan, he joined it without hesitation.

If Young Master Mo disappeared, His Majesty, for the sake of the overall situation, would likely consider returning the military power to their Wang family.

"Confused."

"Do you think having such great power in your hands is truly a good thing?"

Wang Jian had no idea what to feel in his heart at this moment.

He had originally thought he was very satisfied with his son, but now he discovered he had drilled into a dead end.

Disappointment was not even the word for it.

Just for this?

In his life, what kind of power had he not experienced?

If it weren't for his descendants being able to continue enjoying this immense wealth in Xianyang City.

Why would he need to cater to His Majesty's intentions and let General Meng Tian stand against him?

His own son couldn't even see this point.

He didn't see at all that the power in his hands was entirely something he had handed over voluntarily.

Before his eyes, he was entirely blinded by this illusory wealth.
