Although some people around disapproved, at least the words themselves sounded quite reasonable.
Li Tianguo smiled and applauded, "Brother, your insight is brilliant."
The man immediately became beaming and showed off even more, saying, "It's a pity about this Itsuki. He originally had a chance to finish the race directly, but now he's become cannon fodder."
"But it's also good. He's a guy with no connections and no background. He wasn't qualified to end such a popular track anyway."
"The ones who will truly have the last laugh are you few."
Li Tianguo shook his head upon hearing this: "That's not necessarily true. Our Tianjun is full of hidden talents. Who knows, a master might suddenly appear out of nowhere. To say nothing of the distant past, aren't Qin Shengjie and Tang Qingxue ready examples?"
The man was determined to get close to her and was about to continue flattering her.
Then, a sudden change occurred on the field.
"Twelve golden tablets shattered the long night! Success was lost at the last moment, and the mountains and rivers wept; the hatred of the subjects pierced the heavens!"
Everyone was stunned.
The emotionally charged man gritted his teeth and shouted, "What kind of idiotic ruler is this? Twelve imperial edicts? How could he even come up with that?"
Those in the know find it even more unbelievable.
Li Tianguo asked with a strange expression, "Xia Lingjun failed?"
Zhao Ning burst into laughter: "What's with all this 'patrolling on behalf of Heaven' nonsense? Patrolling on behalf of Heaven is just a waste of time!"
In fact, Xia Lingjun herself was more doubtful about life than they were at this moment.
He was indeed determined to hold Lin Yi back, but he certainly wasn't doing it in such an outrageous way. From an outsider's perspective, he was clearly helping Lin Yi!
"No! Something's definitely wrong!"
Xia Lingjun's first reaction was that the mission to protect Heaven had failed.
This is a loophole in the track that the Xia family has exclusively mastered. Even those outside the family circle only know the general idea, but don't know how to use it.
However, precisely because of this, the development and exploitation of this vulnerability are not yet perfect.
After all, few people use it.
There is a certain chance of failure once it is used.
Xia Lingjun refused to believe in superstition and immediately went through the process again, increasing his influence on the court officials.
What happened next left him speechless.
"The three words 'fabricated charges' bury the loyal soul! The cold rain at Fengbo Pavilion, the bright sun and clear sky bear witness to his loyal heart!"
The appearance of Fengbo Pavilion completely stunned the entire audience.
Xia Lingjun was dumbfounded.
"Impossible! How could it not have an impact? Absolutely impossible!"
This time he was absolutely certain that he had profoundly influenced the court officials, especially the emperor.
Xia Lingjun was absolutely certain that the emperor had changed his mind under the influence of his imperial tour.
To be honest, even if he can't be directly transformed into a wise ruler of the time, thus overshadowing the protagonist's brilliance in the sand table, he shouldn't continue to hold Wu Mu back.
How could such a charade as Fengbo Pavilion possibly happen?
"Arrested on charges! What a fine 'arrested on charges'!"
The crowd outside the venue was already in an uproar.
Zhao Ning was so angry that his face turned red: "You wicked, incompetent ruler! You treacherous, scoundrel!"
After cursing for a while, she suddenly turned her head and asked, "Isn't Xia Lingjun supposed to be on a mission to protect Heaven? Why is he still like this? Could it be that he's really that stupid, and he's orchestrating all of this?"
"That's not the case."
Li Tianguo was both amused and exasperated.
He didn't think highly of Xia Lingjun's character, but at least she was intelligent enough not to go out of her way to do something so foolish as to become someone else's accomplice.
Zhao Ning was completely bewildered: "Then why is it like this?"
Li Tianguo pondered for a moment and said, "There is only one explanation: his mission to patrol on behalf of Heaven has failed."
Zhao Ning asked in surprise, "Is your luck really that bad?"
"It shouldn't be a matter of luck."
Li Tianguo stared at the sand table, rubbing his chin, and said, "I've heard people explain the concept of 'patrolling on behalf of Heaven' before. Although this loophole is very overpowered, it's not invincible."
Zhao Ning became interested: "Tell me more about it."
Li Tianguo said, "It is true that patrolling on behalf of Heaven can change a character's mind, but there are some characters whose actions cannot be changed regardless of their thoughts."
Zhao Ning was confused: "What do you mean?"
Instead of answering, Li Tianguo asked, "If the Zhao family has something they absolutely must do, and no one else but you can do it, would you do it?"
Zhao Ning was taken aback: "I think so."
Li Tianguo asked again, "What if you don't want to do this?"
Zhao Ning replied seriously, "This concerns the entire family; it's not a matter of willingness."
Among the entire elite second-generation circle, she is one of the most independent-minded, almost never restrained by her family, but when it comes to a critical moment, she will still stand up decisively.
In this regard, the Tianjun aristocratic family spares no effort in education.
Just as they spare no effort in investing resources in these second-generation rich kids.
Li Tianguo said quietly, "So, it's not a question of whether he's willing or not. This emperor is indeed a complete tyrant, but from his perspective, this fabricated incident at Fengbo Pavilion is exactly what fits his character logic."
"Just because of welcoming the two emperors back to court?"
Zhao Ning was stunned for a long time before finally gritting her teeth and cursing, "It's really ugly."
Li Tianguo sighed, "A tragedy that lasts for ages, truly deserving of its name. If he doesn't end this race, then there would truly be no justice."
Zhao Ning nodded repeatedly.
The people around them all agreed.
Before this, they thought that dying on the battlefield was the ultimate tragedy of a hero, but now the Fengbo Pavilion incident has truly refreshed everyone's understanding.
At this moment, Xia Lingjun realized what was happening and was already cursing wildly.
"A leopard can't change its spots! It's absolutely true that a leopard can't change its spots!"
He still couldn't understand: "Is it so hard not to issue those twelve gold tablets? Is it so hard not to unjustly kill Wu Mu? What nonsense about welcoming the two emperors back to court? So what if they're back? They're just puppets being put on hold. Do they think they can steal your position as a tyrant?"
He genuinely couldn't understand it.
From his perspective, there are at least eight hundred, if not ten thousand, solutions to this situation, and any one of them could be resolved smoothly.
As a result, this foolish emperor insisted on choosing the worst option.
His mission to inspect the land on behalf of Heaven turned out to be a complete joke.
However, Xia Lingjun quickly forced herself to calm down.
"The race isn't over yet! I still have a chance!"
Although things have come to this point and it is extremely difficult to salvage the situation, as long as the race is not over, anything is still possible.
The imperial inspection tour was ultimately not a sham. Although the Fengbo Pavilion incident was a fait accompli, there was still room for redress.
For example, he could make the incompetent emperor reflect on his actions, issue an edict of self-reproach, pin all the blame on the treacherous officials, and at the same time clear the name of the unjustly killed Goki.
Even if this series of actions still cannot stop the upward trend of the opponent's achievement points, it can at least reduce the possibility of them ending the race in one fell swoop.
The result was exactly as Xia Lingjun had predicted.
After a series of remedial actions, Lin Yi's achievement points finally stopped at ninety-nine.
