The empress dowager stared at Li Jian, her tone turned cold, and said, "What do you mean?"

When King Zhao heard the Empress Dowager speak like this, he subconsciously shrank his head.

The last King Huiwen of Zhao worked hard in the country and had no time to take care of educating his children, so King Huiwen of Zhao was basically the responsibility of the Queen Mother.

King Zhao knew very well that once the empress dowager spoke in this tone, something would definitely happen, something big would happen!

Li Jian was still quite calm in the face of the empress dowager's power.

I have lived for three lifetimes, and I have never seen any scenes before. I want to scare me even if I have such a little temper?

Li Jiandao: "I have learned some classics of the great Confucian Mencius with scholars whom I have invited at home. There is a saying on it: 'The beauty of a gentleman will be killed for five generations.' I believe the empress dowager will not object to such a great sage, right?"

The Queen Mother remained silent.

Li Jian continued: "It is actually Mencius' polite statement that kills people in five generations. For the vast majority of people in this world, three generations will be gone."

"The so-called gentleman means a gentleman, but the initial meaning should be the king and the son of the king. If you are born by the Queen Mother and the former king, you are undoubtedly the most orthodox gentleman."

"I would like to ask the Queen Mother, since the establishment of Zhao State, can there be so many sons of monarchs who have not inherited the throne? After the descendants of any of them have passed down for three generations, can they still have the same noble status and glory as their ancestors?"

The Queen Mother thought about it and said, "No."

Li Jiandao: "It's not just Zhao State, but also the other six Zhao State and Zhou royal family. Among these thousands of gentlemen and princes, are there any descendants who can inherit the reputation and glory of their ancestors after three generations?"

The Queen Mother thought about something and after a while, she said, "I haven't heard of it."

Li Jian said seriously: "Why is this? In fact, the reason is very simple. The glory and status that these gentlemen gained at the beginning have nothing to do with their talents, but because they are the sons of the king, they enjoy these things."

"When the inheritance continues, their descendants have no talent to contribute to the country. How could the future monarchs give these guys who have no close relatives to the monarch?"

"So the blessings of these gentlemen's ancestors can only be "beheaded for five generations" as Mencius said."

"Isn't this the case for Chang'an Jun, who you always love, turned the topic back to the present?"

The Queen Mother was stunned.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager said, "Speak."

Li Jian coughed lightly and said, "Chang'an Jun's fiefdom is a famous fertile land in the Great Zhao Kingdom. His status is extremely noble in the Great Zhao Kingdom. Even Xiangbang Tian Dan and Shangqing Lin Xiangru are far inferior to Chang'an Jun. But are these fiefs and status really brought by the talent of Chang'an Jun? The answer is naturally 'no'."

"When the Empress Dowager and the King are alive, Chang'an Jun will definitely be rich and worry-free. But after the death of Chang'an Jun in the future, will the new king and ministers of Da Zhao really want to see the descendants of Chang'an Jun enjoy these things that are far beyond ordinary people without any contribution?"

"I dare say, the more you give Chang'an Jun today, the more dissatisfied you will be with Chang'an Jun within the Great Zhao. You don't even have to wait until Chang'an Jun leaves. I'm afraid that as long as you are not here, these voices will immediately burst out against Chang'an Jun."

"Compared with the descendants of the queen of Yan, the blessings of Chang'an Lord will be cut off if they cannot be passed on for a lifetime. It is so regrettable."

"Does the Queen Mother still feel that your love for Chang'an Jun is really far more than your love for Queen Yan?"

Li Jian's voice was not high, but every word was like a knife and axe, which made the Empress Dowager's heart change greatly.

The King of Zhao was even more excited, and his eyes were already filled with admiration when he looked at Li Jian.

What Li Jian said is simply the voice of King Zhao.

King Zhao was in a state of excitement and even wanted to cheer for Li Jian.

When he glanced at the Queen Mother from the corner of his eyes, King Zhao still pressed the impulse.

The Empress Dowager did not notice King Zhao's small movements. At this moment, her expression was extremely complicated and she muttered to herself: "Is love a burden instead? Then what should I do?"

Obviously, Li Jian's words had a huge impact on the Empress Dowager's mood.

Li Jian said seriously: "Empress Dowager, what can truly pass on the blessings of Chang'an Jun is not the love you or the king for Chang'an Jun, but how much contribution Chang'an Jun and his descendants can make to Zhao State."

"The family affection between blood will be indifferent, but the dedication to the country will be remembered forever because of the straight writing of the historian. As long as the Chang'an Jun and his descendants can always contribute to the Great Zhao, how could the kings in the future be stingy with their rewards and love for them?"

"Serving the country is the right way to truly bring blessings to future generations and oneself, and you don't need to rely on the favor and pity of others to firmly control your destiny."

At this moment, everyone's eyes in the hall were firmly locked on Li Jian, just like a group of students eager to learn, listening to the lecturer's lecture humbly.

Li Jian took two steps back and bowed gracefully to the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Dowager, isn't it an excellent opportunity right now? Please let Chang'an Jun go to Qi State and make the contribution he should have made to Da Zhao!"

There was silence in the hall.

The excitement in King Zhao's heart was completely uncontrollable. He coughed and spoke carefully.

"Mother, I think what Dr. Li Jian and Li said is indeed quite reasonable. If his younger brother can really go to Linzi, he will definitely be able to block many people's mouths."

As a monarch who had just inherited the throne, King Zhao hopes that Chang'an, the person who is most threatening to his throne, will leave Zhao State. It is best to go to the legendary ends of the world and never come back in your life!

The empress dowager glanced at King Zhao, but did not answer, but turned her eyes to the side of Zhu Xian: "Huangxian, what do you mean?"

Zhu Xian bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Doctor Li's words are very clear and incisive. Zhu Xian was convinced and agreed with great agreement."

This time, the Queen Mother was silent for a longer time.

Finally, a sigh came from the Queen Mother's mouth.

"Gentleman, hey, what a gentleman! Born in the royal family, he seems to be the best, but who knows how many joys and sorrows are behind this! It's just... it makes my son suffer!"

The queen mother's eyes fell on Li Jian.

"Li Jian, you are right. If you keep my son in Handan, this is not the true love of parents, but... it will hurt him. Three days later, he will go to Linzi in exchange for the Qi State to send troops."

The moment he heard this, Li Jian's heart suddenly felt relieved, and then a huge joy surged into his heart.

Success!

Li Jian spoke sincerely: "The Empress Dowager is wise!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Li Jian with a complicated expression.

There was a hint of discomfort caused by the separation of flesh and blood in her eyes, but more of it was an unconcealable appreciation.

"Li Jian, how old are you this year?"

"Return to the Queen Mother, I am twenty-one this year."

"Have you ever been married?"

"When I returned to the Queen Mother, my father died and was mourning and had not yet married."

"Can you have an official position?"

"Return to the Empress Dowager, I just finished my mourning and have not been officially appointed as an official."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, the old woman will let you..."

At this moment, a eunuch walked in.

"The Queen Mother, Zuo Shilong is out, claiming that there is an urgent matter to ask for a meeting!"
