It seems reasonable, but Jian Yuhuo is not senile yet, he clearly understands He Tizhu's intentions.
No matter the great merits, it's about magnifying even a slight mistake and saying the worst. As long as the Emperor hears even a single phrase, he's achieved his purpose.
Having seen much of the sleaze in officialdom, Jian Yuhuo detests such harm even more.
He immediately said, "Emperor, Shang Jingwang is wholeheartedly for the people, even disregarding his own life, entering the epidemic center, sharing the hardships with the populace. Just because of a small flaw in the reporting procedure, should we chill the heart of a loyal minister?"
He Tizhu sneered and said, "Mr. Jiang also admits there's a problem with the reporting, do you think this is a minor issue?" He spoke righteously, "A country has laws, a family has rules, if everyone acts on their whims, deceives their superiors, then why have ranks? If all Nanxia officials imitate this, wouldn't it be chaos?"
