It was not horrifying how much land tax, civil and commercial trading Yan Wang reformed. What was horrifying was that once Yan Wang took the throne, what would he do to Wang Guo?

Yan Wang had a close relationship with Gu Yun since his childhood. As the son of the Emperor and the barbarian concubine, it was impossible for him to investigate his parent's sins. In order to further attract Gu Yun and strive for military support in the future, the first thing he would do would be to drag him out to be the offering for the Gu family.

The thing Master Fang and others worried about was nothing more than how Yan Wang was reforming the court. In the end, it was for their own fame, fortune, and their family's future, while Imperial Uncle Wang's life hung by a string, he was constantly worried about the head on his shoulders — even if there were high positions and rich salaries, he still needed to stay alive to enjoy them.

When the Barbarians first arrived in the capital, they truly knew their place and did not bribe people all around. The nobles in the capital were not so poor, insane, and shallow-minded to the point of being willing to bear the charge of 'treason and allied with the enemy' for a little benefit.

Before the palace banquet, the envoys of the Eighteen Tribes reached out their tentacles for the first time and contacted a man — it was Imperial Uncle Wang, a seemingly insignificant flatterer.

The envoys of the Eighteen Tribes swore an oath to their god and gave Wang Guo two promises: first, let Yan Wang no longer be the sword hanging over his head.

Second: Whether it was a success or a failure, Wang Guo would not be implicated. If in the future, Wang Guo was backed into a dead end, the Eighteen Tribes were willing to save his life.

The mobs of the Eighteen Tribes were uncivilized, cruel, murderous, and were good at tampering with poisons, but there was one good point — they kept to their promises.

And what they wanted him to do was a simple task. Yan Wang most likely wanted to avoid appearing, this time, Wang Guo's job was to make sure that Yan Wang showed up at the palace banquet.

The barbarians didn't reveal what they were going to do. Wang Guo planned to wait and see what would happen. In case the Barbarians failed, he also prepared another scheme — thanks to Lord Fang, who secretly kept a man in his household in order to overthrow Yan Wang.

When the barbarian imperial concubine escaped, a large number of palace men, guards, and doctors were involved, and many of them died unjustly, but the ones who were truly guilty had already prepared their way out beforehand.
