Chu Xuanchen saw the sincerity in his eyes and nodded.
It seemed that Jiang Ning was a good official who pitied the people, just like what he had investigated.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Ever since the Hongyuan Emperor ascended the throne, the Chu Country has been weakening under his rule. Take this disaster as an example. The people are already so poor, but he only wants to refine pills and enjoy himself. The officials in the court only know how to form cliques and scheme against each other. They don't care about the suffering of the people. The emperor only cares about killing the old officials who are loyal to the previous emperor. The officials only care about plundering the people. The princes only covet glory and wealth and kill each other for the throne. When Wang saw these people's actions, he was furious. Wang doesn't want the foundation of my Chu Clan to be destroyed, so I came to find you! "
"Your Highness, please calm down. I know all of this. But I'm only a ninth-rank official. I can't do anything. Please forgive me for being incompetent! "Jiang Ning said in fear and trepidation.
At the same time, his body trembled. His heart was filled with pain.
Chu Xuanchen said, "Wang knows about your situation. I didn't want to disturb you, but the situation is critical now. Chu Country not only has internal problems, but also external problems. In the north, Tiansheng Country is eyeing us covetously. In the east, Donglin Country is attacking us aggressively. There are also Xianbei, Northern Desert, Southern Barbarian, Western Barbarian, and other countries greedily eyeing us. They harass our people at the border all year round, burning, killing, robbing, and committing all kinds of crimes. Wang recently received news that Tiansheng Country's barbarian soldiers massacred a village at the border of our country. The emperor has been hiding this from everyone, allowing the villagers to be massacred and the village to be plundered. He was afraid that Wang would lead the soldiers to battle and increase Wang's strength, so he deliberately hid this matter. When Wang thought of this, he was furious. How can the Hongyuan Emperor protect the country with such actions? "
He had received this news not long ago.
So he decided to find Jiang Ning to rope him in and consolidate his strength.
The Hongyuan Emperor had sent people to assassinate him many times, and the empress had poisoned him and Ruoyue many times.
If he didn't take action, what awaited him was his wife and children, and his family would be ruined.
When Jiang Ning heard this, his face was instantly filled with rage.
But he still fearfully said, "Your Highness, please calm down. Perhaps His Majesty is afraid that sending troops to war will exhaust the country's resources and cause the common people to fall into hardship. In addition, the flood has yet to be dealt with. Perhaps he doesn't want to cause more trouble, so he's temporarily enduring it. "
Chu Xuanchen snorted. "Sir, do you believe your words?"
"This …" Jiang Ning was stunned. Obviously, he didn't believe it either.
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyes. He was majestic and domineering. He had the charisma of a superior, making people want to submit to him.
He said, "His Majesty's action is simply because he only cares about the internal strife, he doesn't care about the lives of the common people. As the legitimate son of the previous Emperor, Wang was the King of a country. Seeing the state of Chu in such a state, he was truly heartbroken. Wang had seen too much suffering along the way from the Imperial City. Along the way, the officials abused the common people and ran rampant in the villages. People like Madam Wei who embezzled disaster relief funds and treated the common people like grass were everywhere, but no one dared to do anything because they were on the emperor's side. Wang wants to change this situation. He wants the world to be peaceful, to resist foreign enemies, and to restore the country's prestige! "
If it was before, he wanted to take revenge for his parents, so he wanted to seize the country.
But now, he was doing it for the common people.
He had already said that if the Hongyuan Emperor could make Chu prosper and the common people live in peace, he would let go of this hatred.
