The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

After leaving the Sima residence, Wang Xiang returned home and sat alone for a long time.

Everyone watching the sky knew that at this moment, he was most likely making a mental decision.

Even if every young person he sends out has a valid reason.

But the Sima family's power was undeniable; Sima Shi only needed to have suspicions, not evidence, to have them summon the person back.

It was euphemistically said that some positions in the court had become vacant.

They even wanted him to be grateful.

The most crucial point is that he must bring back his most talented men in order to dispel Sima Shi's suspicions.

But if these young people die in the struggle, then their actions will lose most of their meaning!

"Sima Shi really does have some of his father's style."

After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, Wang Xiang gave a self-deprecating laugh and muttered to himself,

At this point, people outside the sky had already begun to feel sorry for Liu Bang.

Few people would think that Wang Xiang could still harbor any ambitions under these circumstances.

Even if he was unwilling, with talented descendants of the clan having knives to their throats, he shouldn't cross the Sima family's bottom line, even if it was for the sake of the Wang family's future.

The failure of Wang Xiang's line meant that Liu Bang's preparations during this period had been almost completely thwarted.

Only the Chen family of Yingchuan and the Empress Dowager remained, and neither could really cause any trouble.

"To be honest, Emperor Gaozu had done enough, but unfortunately Sima Shi was not stupid. Wang Xiang's little tricks could not escape his eyes."

"But if he had known this would be the outcome, he really shouldn't have given up on Gao Rou."

Mr. Cao felt a little regretful.

At least for now, Wang Xiang is truly less decisive than Gao Rou.

“Giving up on Gao Rou was necessary. He was too arrogant because he had helped Sima Yi and because of the Gao family’s status at the time.”

"Such a person is almost impossible to accomplish anything, and is unlikely to obediently follow orders."

In Li Er's view, the fact that this person was abandoned was not actually Gaozu's decision, but Gao Rou's own choice.

If he is smart enough, even a brick used as a catalyst can be recycled and reused.

But he wasn't smart, so he had to die.

"Unfortunately, despite Emperor Gaozu's meticulous planning, he ultimately failed because of Wang Xiang."

Countless people felt it was a pity.

This series of events, which began with Gao Rou, were all interconnected and proceeded seamlessly, but it all went wrong because of the outcome.

Before they could even express their amazement, the images in the sky suddenly sped up.

After the sky turned from dark to light and then back to dark, Wang Xiang had already sent out the letter recalling the young people of the clan.

If nothing unexpected happens, all the people he sent out will return within half a month.

The matter should have ended there, but that very night, he made a choice that shocked everyone!

Even Liu Bang himself did not expect that at this juncture, he would actually be able to meet Wang Xiang in the palace!

This was done in an extremely private setting, completely away from the Sima family's eyes and ears.

"Your subject, Wang Xiang, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

"A few days ago, there were rumors circulating that Grand Commandant Gao Rou had bewitched the Emperor and was executed by the General. Subsequently, I was recommended to fill the position of Grand Commandant. These days, I have been feeling uneasy, so I have come to see the Emperor tonight!"

Wang Xiang's statement completely absolved him of any involvement in Gao Rou's case.

Although Liu Bang sneered inwardly, he showed no disrespect on his face.

He quickly stepped forward and helped the old minister up.

"Lord Wang, I am naturally aware of this matter. It has nothing to do with you, so why should you blame yourself?"

"Regarding the case of Grand Commandant Gao, although I am unaware of the details, there is one thing I am certain of: he did not mislead me!"

At this point, Liu Bang's face was filled with heartache.

"Whether it's him or you, Lord Wang, you are both pillars of our Great Wei. I want to take advantage of the last bit of time I have left on the throne to do something for you as well."

"These are all my own ideas, and I am not being misled by others!"

"I never imagined that my naive idea would cost Grand Commandant Gao and his entire family their lives..."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have had such a naive idea."

The more he spoke, the more remorseful he appeared.

In the end, he grabbed Wang Xiang's sleeve and burst into tears.

Faced with this situation, Wang Xiang not only did not panic in the slightest, but his eyes showed even more satisfaction.

What an innocent little emperor!

The more naive he is, the more advantageous it will be for what he is about to do!

"Your Majesty need not blame yourself. Granting land and titles to meritorious officials was already being implemented when King Wu of Zhou gained the throne. Your Majesty's desire to emulate the sages of the past is certainly not wrong."

"It's just that the Grand General's ambition has grown too large. He already sees the land of Wei as his Sima family's possession, which is why he strongly opposes this matter and even resorts to such a vicious attack on Grand Commandant Gao."

At this point, Wang Xiang's face showed a hint of struggle.

However, this struggle was too contrived, and Liu Bang saw through it at a glance.

When it comes to acting, old man, you're still a bit lacking!

Of course, he wouldn't sabotage the project; on the contrary, he would be extremely supportive.

“Lord Wang, you are right. I know that the General is not content to be just a subject; he wants my position.”

“I have long been prepared to abdicate. As long as he speaks, I will give him the throne.”

"But his selfishness, his concern only for his own family's interests, and his stinginess with the rewards that you, his loyal ministers, deserve, has truly disappointed me."

Liu Bang's dejected expression perfectly illustrated what a veteran actor's skill is, leaving no room for error!

Wang Xiang was thoroughly captivated by what he heard.

He thought he would need to guide the conversation a little further to get it to this point.

Unexpectedly, the young emperor was so sensible!

If the Sima family hadn't completely taken control of the situation and firmly held the power to overturn the table, he would have truly felt that this young emperor was more suited to the throne!

You couldn't find an emperor who cares so much about his subjects even with a lantern!

"Your Majesty is absolutely right, but you shouldn't have been so direct. That's why I risked my life to sneak into the palace, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Sima family, just to ask Your Majesty to be patient."

"This old minister will be active among the various powerful clans and aristocratic families. We will expedite the process of the Grand General's abdication and strive to prepare the necessary documents for the abdication within the next month or two."

"When His Majesty prepares to abdicate in favor of the Grand General, we will join forces to petition for his permission. At that time, His Majesty only needs to agree to our petition, and the rest can be left to this old minister!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bang was overjoyed.

If we're talking about bad people, you old bastard are the worst, the most ruthless!

If Sima Shi knew about your plans, he would tear you apart!
