"The Queen Mother is not stupid. Compared to those high-ranking officials who are ignorant of the suffering of the people, she knows better that Nanxia cannot go against the wishes of the people. No matter what her considerations are, she will make the best of a bad situation and severely punish all those on the list without exception, and put all the blame on them. But I already have evidence of those people buying and selling official positions. Once the candidates who caused the trouble are executed, the evidence will be spread out through the evidence that has been laid long ago, and then a bloody storm will be set off."
Lu Wan felt terrified when he heard this, but this was just the beginning of the book chaos in the late Southern Xia Dynasty. Who knows how many people will die in this in the future.
Seeing Lu Wan fall silent, Shen Yan explained, "It's not that I didn't give the Queen Mother a chance. As long as she was willing to send someone to investigate, even if it was perfunctory, as long as there was a result, no one would say anything, and all my arrangements would be in vain. But she chose to do nothing and even wanted to execute all those people. Then I can't blame anyone else."
Lu Wan wanted to say, no, you clearly took the reactions of the Queen Mother and the court officials into account in your plan, and the Queen Mother has been at odds with you for a long time. When you said you wanted to investigate, she would naturally think that you were involved, so how could she be willing to expose her mistakes under your nose?
All of this was just a trap you had prepared for the Queen Mother a long time ago, but it cost so much blood, it was really...
After a brief silence, Lu Wan continued, "It's good that this incident can arouse public resentment, but what will you do? You promised to help those people, but none of them survived. I'm afraid this incident will implicate you."
"So I will still submit a memorial. If one memorial doesn't work, I'll submit two. If two memorials don't work, I'll submit three. I will promise what I can do, but the final outcome of this matter still depends on the Queen Mother."
Shen Yan could naturally hear what Lu Wan was thinking, but he had already done it, and it was impossible for him to stop at this time.
But somehow, looking at Lu Wan's face, his heart couldn't help but soften. He could only give the Queen Mother and the others another chance. As for whether they could listen to his advice, it was not his fault.
Lu Wan didn't understand the compromise that Shen Yan made for her. She just nodded. However, when she heard that Shen Yan was going to submit memorials one after another, she couldn't help but look at him worriedly, "If you do this, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will punish you for it."
"Are you worried about me?"
Chen Yan's eyes lit up, and then he smiled a little, "Don't worry, I'm prepared."
