"Does the emperor just want to get rid of me?" Wang Fengyu asked angrily.

You know, this person is the head of the Wang family, one of the five great families! Such a person naturally has extraordinary wisdom and insight.

Wang Fengyu almost instantly understood the mystery behind today's events: perhaps the seemingly noble Emperor Jiade, who sat high on the dragon throne, could no longer tolerate the continued existence of the aristocratic families in the world.

However, even though I know that I am in a desperate situation today and there is no escape, I must not abandon the integrity that a member of a noble family should have!

Wang Fengyu was seen calmly tidying up his slightly messy clothes, then reaching out to straighten the golden crown on his head that symbolized the glory of his family, and then gently brushing off the dust on his sleeves.

After doing all this, Wang Fengyu completely ignored the gleaming sword at his neck, and stood proudly in the center of the Qinzheng Hall with his head held high. His sharp eyes like an eagle were fixed on the aloft Emperor Jiade, as if he wanted to pierce through him with his gaze.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are really a forgetful person! Back then, when the founding emperor of the Da Chong Dynasty led his mighty army to attack Yuanjing City, the last emperor of the previous dynasty and his group of diehard loyalists were determined to defend the city and fight to the end, vowing to live and die with Yuanjing City!

The battle was so brutal at that time. If it weren’t for the fact that our noble families were very observant and knew that the previous dynasty was on the decline and was about to end, in order to save the people of the world from the ravages of war, we would have decisively killed the last emperor of the previous dynasty and resolutely opened the gates of Yuanjing City, welcoming the founding emperor with his army into the city and ascending the throne with the highest standards...”

Having said this, Wang Fengyu paused for a moment, and a barely perceptible look of pride flashed across his face.

"snort……

Work is work, mistakes are mistakes.

The late emperor and I have never denied the great contributions made by the aristocratic families in the past. Because of this, over the past hundred years or so, the court has always adopted a tolerant and permissive attitude towards the aristocratic families, allowing you to continue to develop and expand.

Unexpectedly, until today, the aristocratic families have become like a cancer, deeply rooted in the body of our Da Chong Dynasty, and have become a huge hidden danger that endangers the country and the people's livelihood!

Let's not talk about those old things, just talking about the current things, there is your Wang family's Wang Shangshu, who dared to embezzle a huge amount of money for repairing the Yellow River embankment. He was so cruel that he used cheap river sand and soft soil to build the embankment that should have been indestructible!

Just imagine, how can such a dam built with shoddy materials and crude workmanship withstand the surging waters of the Yellow River?

The Yellow River dike broke, and the torrential flood swept through three provinces in an instant, sweeping countless innocent people into the disaster.

The flood caused the tragic death of tens of thousands of people and tore tens of thousands of families apart. Many people were forced to leave their homes and wander around, suffering from hunger and cold.

These horrific tragedies, one after another, are all caused by greedy families like you!

If the ancestors of the family knew about this and saw their descendants so wantonly plundering the people's wealth and taking lives lightly, causing such a disaster, they would probably feel deeply ashamed and consider it a great shame to have such unworthy descendants like you."
