"If we fight now, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to us."
"It's better to send someone to take charge first, and then start the battle when we are fully prepared."
Xiao Yanli chuckled softly, "The Wala have no one available. Even if they have sufficient food and grass, they will never dare to act rashly."
That's true. So, the question is, who should we send?
After a thorough analysis, the situation returned to the original starting point. The ministers in the palace began to discuss again, and the emperor was annoyed by their noise.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Everyone fell silent, their heads lowered slightly, fearing to anger the emperor.
Xiao Yanli also followed the crowd and stood aside.
The hall fell into silence. Jiang Zhiyu was startled when she entered.
[Good boy, it's as quiet as if it were dead.]
emperor:"……"
"Zhiyu, you should understand the situation now. What do you think we should do?"
Jiang Zhiyu blinked and said, "I think we should wait until the Fifth Prince recovers from his injury before letting him lead the army."
[After we agreed on a few years, even a minute or a second less won't count.]
[Just stay at the front line!]
And let the fifth prince lead it?
Everyone had different expressions, and there was a hint of disapproval in their eyes when they looked at Jiang Zhiyu.
"What does Censor Jiang mean? The Fifth Prince nearly fell into a trap and now has a lucky escape. If we let him lead the army again, how can he convince the people?!"
Jiang Zhiyu looked at the minister who was speaking and sneered, "Can you guarantee that you will win every battle?"
The minister choked.
"Besides, you said you almost fell into a trap. Since you didn't, doesn't that just prove he's very alert?"
[Help! I'm actually defending Xiao Siyuan?!]
I despise myself!
emperor:"……"
If you put it that way, it seems so. The minister was speechless.
"Furthermore, every failure is a lesson learned. After learning this lesson, I believe His Highness the Fifth Prince will definitely remember it and won't make the same mistake again."
[There's no need to fight, just stay calm.]
[Don't participate in the early stages of the attack. Without the big brother, the other two tribes will not focus on attacking Tianqi, but will focus on attacking Wala. Wala will be attacked from all sides and will not be able to hold out for long. Later, when they find that Wala has no good resources, they can switch forces to capture Wala.]
[If you just stay calm, you can become a god. The military merit will only be attributed to the person who captured Wala later. Xiao Siyuan, just focus on being a companion.]
emperor:"……"
You are worthy of it!
The corner of his mouth twitched, but his furrowed brows relaxed.
Everyone present was a shrewd person. They could tell at a glance that the emperor was more satisfied with Jiang Zhiyu's proposal, and immediately agreed, "I think what Censor Jiang said makes sense."
"I second the motion."
"I second the motion."
No one wants to offend the emperor at this time, it would be great if the problem can be resolved.
For a moment, a cheerful atmosphere came from the imperial study, and only Xiao Yanli felt out of place.
He had a faint smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes.
It's her again! It's always her! She always ruins everything for me!
Of course, he could not rashly agree to go to the battlefield in front of the emperor. Although he could achieve his goal, it would inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion.
When he came, he also thought that he would be the best candidate to go to the battlefield, so he couldn't be too proactive and had to let others push him.
In short, he just wanted to be reserved.
But he never expected that Jiang Zhiyu would actually push Xiao Siyuan forward. Didn’t Xiao Siyuan want to harm Jiang Sulan before?
Jiang Zhiyu is such a vengeful person, how could he resolve his grudge with Xiao Siyuan so quickly?
No matter what he thought, the matter was resolved, and everyone left the imperial study happily. Xiao Yanli took a few deep breaths and followed them out. Jiang Zhiyu wanted to leave, but was stopped by the emperor.
Jiang Zhiyu: “???”
The emperor smiled and said, "I heard that Mingye and Wenjing are good friends?"
Jiang Zhiyu nodded, feeling a little perfunctory, and added, "Exactly. We just caught up a few days ago."
【I almost died of laughter. 】
emperor:"……"
[Poor tall guy, because his mother's entire clan was slaughtered, he was left with trauma. When faced with something that caused him strong emotions, he liked to hide in the closet and slowly process it by himself.]
If the emperor hadn't been so indifferent, he would have been a good son. He wouldn't be in this situation now, with six sons and not even one who truly loves him.
emperor:"……"
Heartbreaking.
As for him, he's truly a heroine of a strong and tragic story. His mother and nine clans were slaughtered, his father, the Emperor, disliked him, and he was sent to Youzhou at a young age. He was bullied by guards and had to fight dogs for food despite not having enough. If it weren't for a county magistrate secretly helping him, he would have died long ago.
The emperor felt a sense of guilt for the first time in a long time, and was also angry towards the people Jiang Zhiyu mentioned.
Even if I don't like him anymore, he is still the prince. If anyone bullies the prince, I will find out who it is and I will kill all nine generations of their family!
With the help he received and the training he gained in martial arts, his life became easier. Also, thanks to the guidance of the county magistrate, he always maintained a kind heart in his dealings with others.
Unfortunately, because of this, Xiao Yanli falsely conveyed the imperial edict, saying that the emperor wanted him to commit suicide, threatening to destroy Youzhou if he didn't. He actually believed it.
emperor:"!!!"
How many surprises does this Lao Liu have that he doesn’t know about?
It’s not an exaggeration to say that he has all five poisons.
The emperor's loneliness and coldness were portrayed vividly by him!
His eyes were filled with murderous intent, like an angry lion, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.
Jiang Zhiyu felt emotional and suddenly had an idea.
[So, in that sense, every time he comes out of the closet, doesn't that mean he's—coming out?!]
【Hahahahahahaha】
emperor:"???"
Why are you laughing all of a sudden? What's so funny about coming out?
Seeing her laughter getting more and more unbridled, the emperor said, "Well, the palace banquet will be held in a few days. Have those people from Nan Gu calmed down?"
Jiang Zhiyu nodded.
Erzhu Huaji was busy accepting reality, while Tudola was busy avoiding spies and contacting Prince Yu.
【Everyone is busy, and everyone has a bright future. 】
emperor:"……"
I think you look the most relaxed.
Although he thought so in his heart, the emperor did not dare to say it out loud.
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of saying anything else, Jiang Zhiyu turned around and was about to leave. The emperor also picked up his pen and was about to write something when he suddenly heard, "Your Majesty, is the Empress's book good?"
"Yes, there are indeed some ideas in it that are worth emulating..."
The emperor was halfway through his speech when he suddenly felt something was wrong and raised his head stiffly.
Jiang Zhiyu looked at him with a smile on her face.
The emperor gritted his teeth slightly, and Jiang Zhiyu slipped away, leaving only one sentence: "I'll bring you Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying some other day."
emperor:"……"
"What are you laughing at?" The emperor suddenly turned to look at Fu Ping, whose lips curled up. "I think you are still a little idle."
Fu Ping: “…”
