　　However, the both of them were still representatives of Xi Lei. He couldn’t let the kingdom lose face at the banquet. Although Hao Yuan Jiang was unwilling to start a conflict with Duke Ming, he couldn’t s.h.i.+rk his responsibilities. Therefore, once again, he helplessly opened his mouth.

　　“Forgive me for interfering,” Hao Yuan Jiang coughed lightly, “but according to the young Lord’s statement, everyone has their own specialty and can engage in their own actions based on their ability or talent. Therefore, an individual with the talent to manage a state can serve as minister of a kingdom. So, may I ask, could the position of a king, based on your statement… only be eligible for a person with the ability and talent to be one?”

　　Dong!

　　Like the sound of a morning bell drumming heavily, the question pounded in the ears of the audience as they sat in shock.

　　Old ginger really could not be underestimated. With Hao Yuan Jiang’s little trick, Feng Ming’s previously well-developed statement had immediately landed him in a giant pitfall.

　　[TN: There’s a saying… the older the ginger is, the spicier it gets.]

　　Questioning the absolute power of the king was a taboo that could not be mentioned in this backwards era.

　　All eyes were fixed on Feng Ming, waiting for his reaction.

　　Feng Ming was also momentarily fl.u.s.tered. He had originally intended to proceed step by step on his idea of specific roles belonging to specific people in order to explain the Grace Order’s meaning of equality.

　　But now?

　　He had on the façade of being unperturbed, with a slight smile on his face, however on the inside, he was truly agitated. If he treated the problem carelessly, he feared he would be faced with the accusation of treason against the king and be chopped into pieces. But since they had reached such a crucial moment, he definitely could not shrink back. Otherwise, if this incident were to spread in the future, their success would come to naught. Rong Tian’s painstaking effort to enact the Grace Order would be ruined.

　　d.a.m.n it! If only Rong Tian were here with me…

　　No! I should depend on myself. I can’t always rely on Rong Tian to help me solve everything!

　　After secretly cheering himself up, Feng Ming’s limpid eyes exuded a profound pressure as he recalled the memory of the time they were at war on the Aman River. At that time, he had been ready to risk everything by disregarding his safety. Breathing in deeply, he raised his head and answered clearly, “Correct.”

　　The hall immediately fell into chaos.

　　Princess Zhang Liu looked at Feng Ming with concern.

　　Feng Ming spoke each word calmly, “Being a king is the world’s most difficult job. As a ruler, he has to work hard day and night for his kingdom. If he slacks even a little bit or makes one bad decision, his kingdom may perhaps end up eating bitter fruit.”
