However, he still couldn't see anything from Zhao Xin's face.

Zhao Xin didn't urge him, but just looked at him.

Instead, he couldn't calm down and said, "Your Majesty, what I have said is nothing more than two things: one is that people's minds are changing, and the other is that the atmosphere is declining."

Zhao Wan frowned upon hearing this, but Zhao Xin's heart was moved. He then asked again, "Why is there a change of heart and a decline in the atmosphere?"

Nan Luoying and others nearby didn't care at first, but when they heard this, they couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Your Majesty, I believe that your re-discussing this matter with us is a sign of a change of heart."

This time, Zhao Mian did not delay at all and responded immediately, even explaining: "Your Majesty, please think about it, if it were the reign of Emperor Shizong, would we still discuss the future of our Zhao Dynasty in this way?

Your Majesty, think again, if during the reign of Emperor Sejong, Emperor Xuanjong, or even during the time of the previous emperor, your Majesty's side, this Jiang Gonglan said something like "Qin lost its deer", how would we react?

When this man said this in front of Your Majesty and us that day, Your Majesty and we reacted surprisingly not everyone thought what he said was absurd.

Even His Majesty merely refuted it, without thinking that what this person said was impossible.

Isn't this because the power of my Zhao Dynasty's Qin has declined?

It's just that Your Majesty thinks you can turn the tide, but my father, the uncle of Chu, the uncle of Qi, and even Zhao Wan all think that this situation is limited to the court and Your Majesty.

But what about the people of the world?

What should the ambitious people in the world think?

It would be fine if the world was always peaceful, but if there is any disturbance, they will probably take advantage of it.

If war breaks out across the country, even if Your Majesty possesses the power to extinguish them one by one, I'm afraid the Zhao clan of the Great Qin will still suffer further damage. By then, the people's resentment will only grow even greater. Even if they desire peace, they will no longer place their trust in the Zhao clan."

Zhao Mian let out a long sigh, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

But the expressions of everyone present were different.

Zhao Wan's first reaction was surprise. He didn't expect that this guy whom he looked down upon could actually say such a thing. In fact, this was also the thought of other people, including Zhao Xin.

The second reaction was indignation. I wanted to refute, but I found that I didn’t know where to start.

In the end, he could only snort coldly and said, "Nonsense, complete nonsense!

"My Zhao family, the Great Qin, has enjoyed the rule of the nation for four or five hundred years, bringing grace to the world and winning the hearts of the people. Where else could this great reputation be if not for my Zhao family?"

Zhao Mian glanced at Zhao Xin, and seeing he didn't say anything, he sighed and said, "A nation that has enjoyed four or five hundred years of rule is certainly justified and blessed, but it will eventually run dry, and people will tire of it. Do you, Zhao Wan, really think that the blessings left by our ancestors can be squandered at will by us, their descendants?

Once people throughout the world grow weary of this, I'm afraid they will turn a blind eye to the world's turmoil, or even take it for granted. If the world falls into chaos, the people's resentment will be directed at us..."

"Nonsense, if you say so..."

Zhao Wan was about to scold him, but Zhao Xin raised his hand to interrupt him, still calmly saying, "I didn't expect that among my Zhao clan, among the sons of the King of Chu, there would be someone with such foresight as you. The idea you mentioned is something I have always overlooked."

When Zhao Xin said this, Zhao Wan was surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Xin, as the emperor, would agree with Zhao Mian's ridiculous idea.

However, Nan Luoying and others were not very surprised, because they could see from following him for so many days that Zhao Xin's sense of crisis about the Qin Dynasty was much clearer and deeper than Zhao Wan's.

However, they were indeed surprised that Zhao Mian could say such words.

To some extent, Zhao Mian's knowledge has surpassed most people of this era, and even they have not thought about these things.

At most, he just realized that Daqin was indeed in some crisis.

But it has not yet penetrated deeply into the human heart.

If you think about it carefully, it is quite thought-provoking.

It is more intuitive than empty talk about the general trend of the world or even fate.

After listening to it, they couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of what they had seen and heard along the way.

But then Zhao Xin asked again, "So, Zhao Mian, do you have a solution?"

"No."

Zhao Mian smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I simply see that troubled times are approaching, and my Zhao clan will be doomed to collapse.

However, I am stupid and don't know how to reverse the tide.

Otherwise, I, your humble servant, would have advised my father to do it himself long ago, instead of being so dejected all day long."

He said this with another bitter laugh.

"Originally, all I sought was to survive in this chaotic world. However, I have come to see Your Majesty today to learn if Your Majesty has any method of saving the Zhao Dynasty."

As he spoke, he looked up at Zhao Xin.

The two men's eyes met and collided slightly, and the man immediately lowered his head to avoid Zhao Xin's gaze.

However, Zhao Xin still saw something in his eyes.

I immediately knew that what this person said was not entirely true.

I couldn't help but use my eyes to judge people to take a look.

【Zhao Mian】

Ambition: 82

Loyalty: 19

Zhao Xin's pupils shrank slightly, and then he sneered, "People really change their minds."

However, what surprised him was not that this person's loyalty was only 19, but that this person's loyalty was actually 19, not a negative number.

Looking at Zhao Wan again, it was indeed a negative number.

It is not surprising that Zhao Xin has a negative score. He has already rebelled and the two sides are enemies.

What's more, I'm being threatened by him now. It would be strange if I didn't hate him.

But Zhao Mian didn't seem to hate him.
