Chapter 132

At that moment, he finally understood the true reason why Wang Jian was unwilling to lead troops!

What Han Xin!

Wang Jian was not afraid of him at all!

The first worry was nothing but an excuse!

Old age was also an excuse!

What he truly worried about was this!

Because, now, among all his sons, only Facing Ying Su was the most outstanding.

Even if Facing Ying Su were captured now, what then?

In the future, he would very likely pass the imperial throne to Facing Ying Su!

And while he was still alive, Facing Ying Su would not harm the Wang family!

But what after he died?

Seeing Ying Zheng frowned deeply; at this moment, even he had to admire Wang Jian's deep scheming and profound depth of mind!

He pondered for a long time, then said to Wang Jian: "Regardless of who inherits the throne in the future, I will issue an edict: no matter who becomes Emperor, the Wang family must not be mistreated. If the Wang family is mistreated, what do you think?"

"What?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Wang Jian turned pale with shock, then hurriedly kowtowed: "Your subject thanks Your Majesty the Emperor!"

But after expressing gratitude, he continued coughing and continued shaking his head: "Though Your Majesty the Emperor shows such care, my body truly lacks the strength!"

As he spoke, he continued to cough wildly!

And the moment those words were spoken, Seeing Ying Zheng was furious. What did this old Wang Jian mean?

Was he still not satisfied?

Did he want something else?

Seeing Ying Zheng angrily declared: "I will give you a secret edict: after my death, if the new Emperor dares to harm the Wang family even slightly, the Wang family may raise an army to overthrow the new Emperor and choose a new one!"

He spoke these words, and the moment they were uttered, they directly terrified Wang Jian into collapsing on the ground. He kowtowed fiercely to Seeing Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this secret edict must absolutely not be issued! Even if it is issued, I will destroy it immediately! Let it be as if this secret edict never existed!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's gaze turned cold and harsh: "Then what do you want?"

Wang Jian's eyebrows knitted tightly. Finally, he kowtowed to Seeing Ying Zheng:

"If the First Emperor's burden returns to the throne, Wang Jian dares to request that the Sixth Young Master marry Wang Lan!"

"What?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Seeing Ying Zheng was stunned!

At that moment, his face was filled with shock and disbelief as he looked at Wang Jian!

At this very moment, he truly could not help but praise the old fox!

Indeed!

This really is an old fox!

What use is leaving a will for future Emperors?

One Emperor, one era of power!

After an Emperor dies, power vanishes with the wind!

What a deceased Emperor's will? It is nothing but a piece of waste paper! When recognized, it is useful; when not recognized, it is utterly useless!

For example, my father, Ying Ying Yiren, once left a will ordering Lü Buwei to return power to me after I came of age!

But... Lü Buwei stubbornly dragged me until I was twenty-two before agreeing to let me perform the capping ceremony!

Even then, it was only because I had made many preparations in advance that I was able to reclaim power!

Therefore, a deceased Emperor's will is truly nothing but nonsense!

And leaving a secret edict for the Wang family is equally nonsense!

If I dared give this secret edict to Wang Jian, would he dare accept it?

If he accepted it now, he would be dead before the new Emperor even ascended the throne!

Great merit already shakes the ruler!

Great merit combined with such immense power is forcing the Emperor to kill!

I understand this principle, and old Wang Jian understands it just as well.

Therefore, even if beaten to death, he would not dare accept this secret edict!

But having Facing Ying Su and Wang Lan marry is truly a stroke of genius!

After you, Facing Ying Su, ascend the throne, will you not say that I, Wang Jian, once fought against you?

But I have even given you my precious granddaughter as a wife; what more could you be dissatisfied with?

This grudge is instantly dissolved!

I dare not guarantee anything else, but at least, while Wang Lan is alive, Facing Ying Su will definitely not dare to harm the Wang family!

Wait... does this old Wang Jian simply assume I will pass the throne to Facing Ying Su?

Has he already chosen his side so early?

Seeing Ying Zheng pondered, but soon understood!

This was not choosing a side at all!

It was buying peace!

After all, he, Wang Jian, had offended only one Young Master!

If there were any targeting, only Facing Ying Su could possibly be the target!

As for the other Young Masters?

Their succession would have absolutely no impact on Wang Jian or the Wang family's descendants!

"Impressive!"

"Truly impressive!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's eyes brightened.

The more he looked at Wang Jian, the more he liked him!

Finally, he helped Wang Jian up and said, "In that case, can you lead the troops to attack the rebellious son?"

Wang Jian was full of spirit: "Your subject will certainly serve like a loyal dog or horse!"

He shouted.

At that moment, Seeing Ying Zheng was extremely satisfied.

Then, he said to Wang Jian, "Go! Prepare to attack Outside Xianyanggong!"

After he finished speaking, he directly waved his hand!

But Wang Jian did not leave immediately; instead, he said to Seeing Ying Zheng, "Since Li Yuanba is participating in this battle, Xiang Yu's great army must be defeated!"

"Moreover, this battle might not even take two months!"

"One month, or even half a month, could be enough to end it!"

"Therefore, Your subject believes we should take a precautionary measure!"

"A precautionary measure? What do you mean?"

Seeing Ying Zheng was puzzled and confused.

Wang Jian bowed down and said:

"Immediately send people to set an ambush on the road. If Li Yuanba returns, find a way to restrain him first. Even if we cannot capture him, we must buy preparation time for the attack on Outside Xianyanggong!"

"Your Majesty, we should quickly invite people from the Yin-Yang School!"

Wang Jian shouted.

Upon hearing these words, even Seeing Ying Zheng could not help but exclaim, "Brilliant!"

Then, without any delay, he directly ordered Zhao Gao to summon the Young Master of Fate!

This was the helper he had specifically invited before to deal with Li Yuanba!

He never expected that it would actually come in handy now!

And with the Young Master of Fate holding Li Yuanba back, how could Facing Ying Su not be defeated?

At that moment, Seeing Ying Zheng's gaze was like lightning!

The Imperial Throne!

The Imperial Throne!

The Imperial Throne he had longed for was finally about to return!
