Standing in the middle of the lobby, Nanyan felt that she was so embarrassed that her whole body was going to be broken, but Jian Tongguang woke up, opened his eyes and saw her, and blushed with anger: "You, you—"
Nan Yan took a step forward and said softly, "Mr. Jian, please don't be angry."
As soon as she finished speaking, the young man standing beside Jian Tongguang, that is, his eldest son Jian Ruojun, also blushed with anger and said, "Shut up!"
He shouted angrily, and Nan Yan swallowed back the words behind him.
At this time, Jian Ruocheng said softly: "Brother, this girl from Nanyan is also following orders, so don't make things difficult for her."
"If I really want to embarrass her, can she come in and say these things?"
"..."
"King Yan is too much, kill him if you want, and even send a maid to insult father like this!"
Listening to what they said, Nan Yan was also heartbroken when she saw Mrs. Jiahe's disappointed expression, and Xiao Zhu's shocked and hurt look.
But she gritted her teeth and said solemnly: "Old Jane, His Royal Highness Yan Wang asked me to say those words to you just now, but - since I am here, there are a few more words that I want to say to you myself Yes, would you like to hear it?"
Jian Tongguang was already so angry that he heard her say this, and laughed angrily: "You still have something to say, okay, say it!"
Nan Yan said: "Sacrificing one's life for righteousness or securing the country, which one is more important?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the lobby was stunned.
Jian Tongguang also frowned: "What did you say?"
Seeing that he could listen to her own words, Nan Yan hurriedly said: "As the leader of scholars in the world, Mrs. Jian is naturally not afraid of power. For you, giving up your life for righteousness is a matter of success and fame."
"..."
"But, is this really good?"
"..."
"Forgive me for speaking bluntly. Giving up one's life for righteousness—benefiting one's own self; bringing peace and stability to the country—benefiting the people."
"..."
"Old Jian is regarded as a leader by scholars all over the world, and he is full of knowledge. Of course, he should use this kind of knowledge to benefit the country and the people, instead of ruining his family's life in vain for 'his own private name'."
"..."
"There are also those scholars outside. They want to live and die with Mr. Jian. This is naturally a scholar's integrity. But once they die, Mrs. Jian dies. There will be no scholars in the world, and no seeds for reading in the world!"
"..."
"In this way, your fame and fortune will be achieved, but scholars all over the world will hate the court because of your death, and the court will suppress scholars more; by that time, the court will have no one to use, and scholars will have no future. Is the situation what Elder Jane wants to see?"
Jian Tongguang's eyes widened, and he looked at this inconspicuous little girl in disbelief.
Isn't she just a court lady who follows King Yan
How could you say such a thing
He hesitated for a while, then said, "What's your name?"
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "My surname is Si, and my name is Nan Yan."
"Si?" Jian Tong frowned slightly, "Si Zhongwen is yours?"
Nan Yan's voice trembled slightly, and said softly, "It's my father."
Jian Tongguang took a deep breath.
"It turns out that you are his daughter."
"..."
"Hehe, I have always wanted to meet them for a while, but I have never had the chance to meet them. I didn't expect to meet Si Zhongwen's daughter today, and listened to 'Gao Lun'."
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Don't dare."
Jian Tongguang looked at her for a while, and said, "I have one more question to ask you."
"Excuse me, Mr. Jane."
"You just said that if King Yan ascends the throne, he can become a sage king. Can he really become a sage king?"
