Bi Honglang Hold your head high and face the unkind eyes from around Upright Officials calmly--
And the glare of the little dumpling in Emperor Mingze's arms.
The bitter tears in my heart are like a torrential river, stretching endlessly.
No more...
The little bit of goodwill he had managed to accumulate from Little Princess, because of his words just now, turned into a piece of fine yarn. With the gentle breeze passing through Painted Pleasure Boat, it was scattered to the wide lake surface, and could no longer be spliced together.
But!
Bi Honglang swallowed hard.
As a capable and important minister who has worked hard for Great Rui, he has the obligation to put forward political opinions at such a moment so that Emperor Mingze can listen and understand!
Thinking of this, Bi Honglang straightened his back again.
He has decided to take this criticizing minister seriously!
"Your Majesty, since we, Great Rui, have been trading with neighboring countries, merchants from various countries have been passing through here. If we use this method to send troops hastily, it may be detrimental to our Great Rui's economy!"
Minister of Revenue Jiao Hongmiao The indignant expression on his face froze.
He was already prepared, no matter what this annoying Censor-in-Chief said, he would refute it with reason, but if the other party mentioned this...
Jiao Hongmiao rubbed his fingers under his wide sleeves twice awkwardly.
It's really hard for him to explain this...
After all, they can't tell each other openly. They have confirmed from the little guy's voice that the people of the Pingxu Kingdom are hiding Great Rui with such thoughts. Although their methods are indeed... well... a little deceitful, this is just a bad move, isn't it?!
And also...
He really wants a million taels of gold...
Colleagues all say that he is Iron Rooster, but who doesn't want to quietly be a handsome man who is generous with his righteousness and wealth?
Isn't it because he is worried that with Emperor Mingze's speed of fighting everywhere, the national treasury will be difficult to supply, so he needs to carefully calculate the use of each ingot of silver on weekdays...
Jiang Yanchuan took in the reactions of everyone in the boat and suddenly smiled softly, "As early as March, I received a memorial from Lu Qing about this matter, stating that there is a suspicious person who has been living in Fengjin area all year round -"
At this point, he seemed to be unwilling to bother making up any more. He just slightly squinted his eyes and glanced at Lu Yao: "Really?"
The eyes of the people on the field also moved to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao:"..."
Lu Yao Suddenly I want to wipe my face.
OK.
It can be.
Lu Yao nodded with a deep expression. "That's right."
He followed Emperor Mingze's words and made up random lies, telling lies at every turn.
"Lu Mou has already sent people to observe them here for a long time, and found that these people are not like ordinary merchants, wandering among the vendors and shops all day long, but often appear around various secret fortresses..."
Bi Honglang The more he listened, the more solemn his expression became, until in the end, he almost forgot to breathe. "Why did you delay talking about such an important matter until today?!"
Lu Yao:"..."
This is really a good question.
Because he didn't know it before.
In recent years, Emperor Mingze has fought all over the place and gained a vast territory. It is inevitable that a number of "ox demons and snake gods" have also expanded into their territory.
In the past, people who had some reputation and status in various countries had to send people to closely monitor them. If this happens more often, their manpower will be stretched to the point where they are stretched thin.
In many places, they will inevitably become lax.
Wind Brocade Commandery Prefect has been performing well in the past few years, so he didn't think about anything else. Now that such a problem has arisen...
In fact, he was also pretending to be calm.
Lu Yao pondered for a moment, with a profound expression, and his mouth...
Nonsense: "Our people also used this batch of Spies to send back a lot of wrong information."
"Ah--"
Bi Honglang looked astonished. "Then why didn't we use this strategy before to make the other party think that Great Rui's national treasury was empty and unsustainable, and then took advantage of the chaos to attack our country?"
Lu Yao:"..."
Are you annoyed?
Be your civil servant and stay out of Military General's affairs!
Lu Yao looked around for help, but only received a series of dodges.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the little ball Midnight Hour being held in Emperor Mingze's arms, and suddenly he had a plan in mind.
"Of course we have already put this plan into action, but in recent months, Great Rui has received the help of a mysterious master who often writes down important messages on pieces of paper and sends them to the palace as a warning."
Lu Yao's unhurried voice sounded above Painted Pleasure Boat, and he was very skillful in slapping the blame. "Originally, the other side was about to take action, but after learning the news, it stopped again."
After saying this, as if to compensate the victim, Lu Yao opened his mouth and spit out a series of rainbow farts.
"Lu thought that the master who delivered the letter must be an extremely powerful person. She knew the world's situation very well and had a compassionate heart to pity all living beings. Because she knew very well that I, Great Rui, was destined by fate, so she tried her best to help me, in order to make this troubled world unify without bloodshed. I am really the reincarnation of Bodhi, with great kindness in my heart!"
Jiang Yanchuan:"..."
Present Upright Officials:"..."
They all understand the truth, but is this too exaggerated?
Even if the little guy is just a four-year-old little dumpling, she would not believe such exaggerated words--
[Praise, praise Chengcheng?]
[Hey~ It's not as exaggerated as Uncle Lu said~~]
[Chengcheng just did what he should do~]
Jiang Yanchuan:"..."
Present Upright Officials:"..."
Nothing to say.
But it's not without its benefits.
Next, the little girl seemed to be suffering from the sequelae of being praised, and unconsciously wanted to find out more information to return to the person who praised her.
She found a lot of information like pouring beans, including but not limited to--
Pingxu Kingdom Which places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, which places are permanently defended, where to attack with the least consumption, and...
Where are the most valuable things in their territory located?
[Write them all down, write them all down!]
[When Chengcheng comes back, prepare a small note and send it to Grandpa Kan and the others!]
Lu Yao The smile on the corners of his lips froze again. If the expression on his face had to be described, it could be condensed into four words - "The sky is falling."
It was obviously him who tried so hard to come up with words of praise!
Why do you call General Kan to reap the benefits?!!
A trip to the lake was a hit or miss. Although the process was a little chaotic, it finally came to an ending that satisfied everyone.
But this "owner" does not include Ding Ruihan and Ying Sinan.
The two people were in a daze after listening to the secrets of the imperial court. It wasn't until a soft voice sounded above their heads that Ding Ruihan barely came back to their senses.
"Aunties," there was still innocence in the childish voice, "Chengcheng's Imperial Father is asking you something~"
"Gudong--"
Ding Ruihan swallowed nervously.
