Emperor Jing also imagined that scene and looked at the prime minister with a hint of sympathy.

Emperor Jing: You old codger spread rumors that I'm a tyrant, yet you still covet my throne!

I have the protection of Fu Bao, you are destined not to succeed.

Once I have gathered all the evidence, I will have you all executed.

Emperor Jing was in a good mood and took Jing Le back to the palace.

...

On the other side.

The Prime Minister's Residence.

In the study, the Minister of Revenue used official business as an excuse to visit the Prime Minister's residence.

The two sat around the table, drinking tea and chatting.

"Everything has been arranged. As long as Yuan Zhengqi and his men go into that mountain, they will not come out unscathed."

The Minister of Revenue took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

It was as if he were talking about something trivial.

The prime minister opposite him remained silent for a moment, then put down his teacup and said softly:

"The Emperor glanced at me before he left, and my eyelids have been twitching so badly that they haven't stopped yet."

After a long pause, the Prime Minister said again:

"I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen."

The Minister of Revenue did not take it seriously, thinking that the Prime Minister was just worrying unnecessarily.

"Sir, you are probably overthinking things. Things may not be so easy to handle in the north, but you can rest assured about Yuan Zhengqi."

"The success ten years ago serves as a precedent, and we won't fail this time either."

"Who would have thought that they would be targeted by bandits so soon after leaving the capital?"

The Minister of Revenue poured the Prime Minister another cup of tea and continued:

"I have already given instructions in advance that after this job, we should go to other mountains to lay low for a while and come back after things have calmed down."

The prime minister seemed to be persuaded and put his mind at ease: "I hope so. It seems we need to quicken our pace."

"Rest assured, my lord, I have come here today to discuss this matter."

The Minister of Revenue took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the Prime Minister: "It was sent from there. We should be able to take action tomorrow."

This letter was sent urgently from the border and only arrived in his hands this morning.

The Prime Minister immediately took the letter and quickly opened it to take a look.

The contents were news about the border, although they differed somewhat from what he had expected.

But this makes it easier for him to operate.

Once it's all over, who cares about the truth?

"Hahaha, good, good, good, heaven is helping me, heaven is helping me!"

Although the Minister of Revenue had not yet read the contents of the letter, he was involved in matters concerning the border.

Judging from the Prime Minister's reaction, it's clear that what's being discussed is definitely in their favor.

"Congratulations, sir, your wish will soon be fulfilled."

“Indeed, you see for yourself, tomorrow is the perfect time to make a move. Once the border falls, what is there to fear in Kyoto?”

The prime minister's eyes were full of calculation, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

They kept a close eye on Emperor Jing's dragon throne.

He also wanted to go up and sit there for a while.

Seeing that everything was going in the direction he had envisioned, his desire for power grew stronger.

It's almost here, almost here! What I've been planning for over a decade is finally about to succeed.

Once I sit on that supreme throne, all those damned people will die...

...

The Imperial Palace.

Jing Le had nothing to do at the moment, and was planning to go see the Second Prince today, so he did not go to the Imperial Study with Emperor Jing.

She didn't want to be dragged in to read the memorials.

Have you ever seen a three-year-old child reading imperial edicts?

Since she had never seen it before, she decided to slip away.

The previous times Emperor Jing brought Jing Le to the Imperial Study, he only mentioned it indirectly, complaining about the matters in the memorials.

Ever since Jing Le solved the problem with her childlike words.

Emperor Jing actually stopped pretending.

After reading each memorial, he would directly ask Jing Le for his opinion.

This caused Jing Le immense suffering.

She doesn't want to be the emperor, so who wants to read these memorials?

She had no idea that Emperor Jing actually had this idea.

All the princes combined don't seem to be as smart as Jing Le. It seems that having a female emperor in Dayong is not bad.

Today, both the Ninth Prince and Duan Feibai were arranged by Emperor Jing to attend classes at the Imperial Academy.

The Third Prince was also taken in by Emperor Jing to do some work, under the pretext that he had been leisurely for so many years and it was time for him to get some experience.

Meanwhile, his nine bodyguards, along with Duan Shulan and the four maids he had taken in yesterday, were all assigned to work.

Only Ying San accompanied him, as Emperor Jing had strongly insisted, forbidding Jing Le from being alone.

After all, Jing Le is only three years old. Even if he is very capable, he still needs an adult to run errands for him.

That's right, Shadow Three was the errand boy whom Emperor Jing strongly requested to keep by his side.

"Shadow Three, go and say hello to Father, I'm going out of the palace to visit my second brother."

"Then please wait for me, Your Highness. I will be back soon."

In the past few days, Shadow Three has come to fully understand what kind of being the master he is now serving.

He's not a normal three-year-old at all; his intelligence is more terrifying than that of an adult, not to mention his strength.

In any case, beating them out of the water is no problem at all.

Even Yingyi was no match for Jingyue.

That's the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guards, and the strongest in martial arts among them.

But Ying San's feeling was probably right. Jing Le gave him a more dangerous feeling, a kind of danger hidden beneath the surface.

After saying that, he quickly left and headed towards the Imperial Study.

He needed to inform Shadow One of this as quickly as possible and then return immediately.

And indeed, it was quick; he used his light-footed skill to travel back and forth, returning in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has agreed. This is the token. The Emperor said that if Your Majesty wishes to leave the palace in the future, you only need to have someone inform you."
