The lean man said, "Rumor has it in the Capital City that the current Emperor is foolish, stammers when he speaks, and doesn't even distinguish between hot and cold. The military and government powers have fallen to others, with Xia Daozi wielding influence over court and country. He's a member of the Royal Family himself, so it's not impossible for him to fake a Holy Decree."
Luo Shixian said, "Xia Daozi and Shen Guobao are colluding. Over the years, they've manipulated the Emperor, framed the loyal and good, poisoned the people beneath them, allowing the Profound Celestial Bandits to grow ever stronger. Truly, he's the first treacherous Prime Minister of our Great Xia, deserving of death by all!"
"In my view, if we don't remove these two traitors, I'm afraid it will cause an even bigger disaster."
"If I get a chance, I'll finish him with a single saber strike!"
In the tea house, when Xia Daozi and Shen Guobao were mentioned, everyone looked furious.
"Pfft!"
