"I've told you before, don't play these tricks. You see what's going on."

The person who spoke was Wei Mingyuan. To be honest, the fat man originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he had no choice but to do so.

He didn't care at all about the complaints of the people in the delegation. The throne of the Great Xia Kingdom still belonged to the Weiming family. Even if these people had complaints, at most they would chop Zhang Yuan to pieces with a knife. No matter what happened, he would not be hurt at all.

But if you return to Zhongxing Prefecture without success, well, you might be charged with a crime of bringing disgrace to the country, which would be uncomfortable.

Although the king will not really do anything to himself, it is hard to say whether he will imprison himself because he is so disappointed in himself.

For Wei Mingyuan, confinement is a punishment more cruel than death. After all, there are many fallen women in the Great Xia Kingdom after so many years of war. They all need his help. What should they do if he is imprisoned?

"This Earl of Qinghe is stubborn and unyielding. I have carefully observed his arrangements these days. He is completely a man of his own making and will only obey orders and not announcements. If such a person does not rebel, he will sooner or later be dealt with by the central government of Liang State. I don't believe that he can be satisfied with being the Earl of Qinghe." Zhang Yuan said angrily.

"Whether he rebels or not is his business. There's no point in getting anxious. Besides, the letter you sent scared me, let alone someone else." Wei Mingyuan said, "I understand what you mean. You just want to stir up trouble to force him to break with Liang as soon as possible. When he can't stand the pressure from Liang anymore, we'll give him some support and see if we can control him. Even if we can't, we'll at least cause some trouble for Liang."

"My uncle has a keen eye."

"Come on, you're talking about discerning eyes. Anyone with a clear eye can see that, right? Lord Zhang, you're usually incredibly shrewd, but how come you're such a fool when it comes to causing trouble for the Liang Kingdom? Let me ask you, which is more important to you: a clever rebel who can control himself, who won't be fooled, hiding in the corner, ready to strike a fatal blow, or a foolish rebel who rises up in rebellion at the mere provocation of you?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned. This cube-shaped guy seemed like a complete playboy, but unexpectedly he wasn't that stupid.

Zhang Yuan then bowed and said, "I understand. I will make the changes."

Wei Mingyuan clearly saw what Zhang Yuan was thinking and said, "Compared to my brothers and sisters, I am a little stupid, but not hopeless. Otherwise, the king wouldn't really entrust state affairs to me."

"Let's put it this way. The letter of credence is just a formality. You can continue with your revisions. We still have to get down to business. So, have someone go to him in my name and say that the Earl of Guazhou from Xia wants to talk to the Earl of Qinghe from Liang."

"Uncle, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to meet in private..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Besides, I handed in the invitation openly, so it doesn't count as a private meeting. As long as we meet the person, we can discuss what needs to be discussed. Everything else is just trivial matters."

Seeing Zhang Yuan still hesitating, Wei Mingyuan shook his head and said softly, "Master Zhang, I understand that you want to do good things, but if you overdo it and fail in the end, then the gain will outweigh the loss."

Then he continued humming a Northwest tune and closed his eyes to rest. Qinghe was good in every way except for its underdeveloped entertainment industry. If only he had known earlier he would have brought those girls from Yihongyuan who needed help.

Zhang Yuan, stunned on the spot, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went out to give his orders. Oh, the prince was indeed very foresighted. This cube wasn't stupid, and wasn't willing to fall for it. It looked like they still had to think of a way out.

Qinghe's administrative efficiency remained high. That afternoon, Wei Mingyuan finally met Lin Hai as he had hoped. Of course, Zhang Yuan, the deputy envoy, was turned away, as everyone had expected. After all, this was a conversation between two earls, so there was no need for him to participate.

"I have met the Earl of Qinghe. I never thought that despite his power, he could lead such a simple life. He is truly a role model for our Earls."

In the pavilion in the backyard of the Earl's Mansion, yes, the pavilion where Yan Zipei stayed last time, Lin Hai met this legendary cube-shaped man.

Speaking of which, this cube-shaped man is not very old. Judging from his appearance, he is only about eighteen or nineteen years old. But looking at his figure, to be honest, Lin Hai does not think that a human can grow to this size in just a dozen years. If Xia Country really masters the method to make mammals gain weight and fatten up quickly, Lin Hai thinks that they must get it at all costs. After all, it can be used for breeding and become developed.

"Greetings, Earl of Guazhou. Hahahahahahahaha. As a nobleman of the Guazhou Earl, you have condescended to come to my poor and remote village. Although the Earl is a noble, he is also neither high nor low. It is still far from a position of leisure and comfort. You are destined to work hard."

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Wei Mingyuan looked at Lin Hai seriously, then smiled and said, "That's right. Qinghe Bo is really a real man. Speaking of which, others don't know it, but we do. This earl position is really not something that humans can hold. Look at me, I've lost weight."

“Hahahahahahahahahaha.”

The two earls smiled and nodded, as if being an earl was really the hardest job in the world.

"Who is this person next to you?" Wei Mingyuan looked at Shi Zhener in confusion.

It is said that every time Lin Hai meets a stranger, he brings Shi Zhen'er with him, but he doesn't like to introduce himself to others. To put it simply, if you don't ask me, I won't tell you. If you treat Shi Zhen'er as an ordinary maid, you will be the one who suffers when the truth is revealed. If you ignore Shi Zhen'er, then Shi Zhen'er can just watch the entire meeting as an undisturbed third party. When the meeting is over and Lin Hai starts to review it, he will find many points that Lin Hai has overlooked.
