Chapter 171 There is also such a farming method
Yuanruan: [Huh? There really is one? Who is it?]
System: [Let me see, it’s King Yan.]
The emperor and his courtiers glanced at him.
Prince Yan's calves went weak and he almost sat down. He almost pointed and cursed: System, how can you talk nonsense?
Fortunately, the Minister of War standing behind him gently nudged him with his right hand, preventing the Prince of Yan from making a big embarrassment.
Yuan Ruan: [Brother, this is too bad. There are only three dukes and kings participating in this locust-killing ritual, and two of them have rebellious intentions.]
The Prince of Huainan frowned and clenched his fists.
Prince Yan tried desperately to wink at the emperor to show him that he had no intention of rebelling.
The emperor gave him a "reassuring" look.
System: [Haha, no. The King of Yan himself is not willing to rebel. He is a stay-at-home guy who loves farming. He is happy to stay in his own mansion and farm the land every day. He is unwilling to travel far away.]
Prince Yan's eyes were filled with tears: Yes, yes, yes, the system still understands me.
Yuan Ruan: [Loves farming? Then how did he become king? ]
System: [Didn't your brother die in that line before? The capital of Daxia became very chaotic, and there were occasional wars in various places, and some people even declared themselves kings. At that time, except for the King of Yan, all other princes and kings sent many spies to inquire about intelligence. Only the King of Yan was still cultivating the seedlings from the Western Regions at home.]
Yuan Ruan: [Haha, no matter how chaotic things are outside, I will stay still and farm. Farming is my true love. And then...]
System: [It just so happened that the Second Prince was in power at that time. He was a man who was used to taking extreme measures. So when he found out that the internal strife in Daxia was serious, he did not think about the balance of power. Instead, he prepared to set up an external enemy to divert the attention of those who were fighting for power in the court. At the same time, it would be best if this external enemy was a soft persimmon.]
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? This is too radical. Is he mentally healthy? No, he is mentally healthy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to think of such outrageous ways to spy on the enemy. So the King of Yan was chosen?]
System: [Yes. If he is the only one working diligently on the farm, doesn't that make him appear to be an "honest man"?]
The courtiers looked on with sympathy.
King Yan was speechless for a moment.
System: [But seriously, the fact that the King of Yan loves farming and is honest does not mean that the King of Yan's fiefdom is weak. The King of Yan has never been fond of making trouble since he was young, and he loves farming and mulberry. The local people and officials are more supportive of him. He was inexplicably made into a rebel king, and the King of Yan was confused. The people and officials in his fiefdom were angry. They felt that the superiors were too inhumane. Daxia did not allow them to eat, so they picked up hoes and directly fought. These people and officials took the initiative to beat the Daxia expeditionary army into a mess. Afterwards, the King of Yan was forced to take office and became a rebel king.]
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft, I was forced to take up the post. I understand. The King of Yan and the people in his fiefdom love farming. If you don't let me farm, I will plant you in the ground. Right?]
System: [Yes, yes, haha, that’s the contrast. ]
Everyone was shocked by Yuanruan's ridicule.
It sounds funny at first.
After listening carefully, I found it very intimidating, because this passage accurately embodies the four words: the will of the people.
The court officials glanced at Prince Yan vaguely.
Prince Yan was really nervous now.
Yuan Ruan: [What about Prince Jing? Was he so useless in the previous branch? ]
System: [No. He is dead.]
Prince Jing, who was just celebrating: ???
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? How did he die? Did he die in a rebellion?]
System: [No. Prince Jing is a hunting enthusiast. He basically goes out hunting three to four times a month, three to four days each time, and is in the wild almost every day. There is a saying that goes, if you walk too much at night, you will always run into ghosts. Anyway, no matter whether it is the last route or this route, he can't escape the fate of falling off the cliff and being eaten by wild animals. ]
Crowd: …
This is really asking for trouble.
Yuan Ruan: [Ah, this... I want to save him, but I don't know how to say it. ]
System: [If Ah Ruan really wants to save him, I have a way. ]
Yuanruan: [What?]
System: [If we paralyze him with electric shock so that he can't go hunting, he will survive. ]
Prince Jing almost fell backwards.
The people in Da Xia who were well aware of the nature of the system gave a look of "as expected".
Yuanruan: […That’s a good idea. Don’t give me suggestions next time. But you did give me an inspiration.]
System: [Haha, I knew Ah Ruan knew how to make choices.]
Crowd: !!!
Prince Jing shuddered and tried to stand up, but Prince Huainan pushed him back down. Prince Jing immediately looked at the emperor pitifully.
The emperor coughed lightly and asked, "Why is Ah Ruan staring at Prince Jing? Are you curious?"
The emperor was about to say indirectly that there was no need to paralyze the opponent with electric shock. If a leg or a right hand was cut off, the opponent would not be able to hunt.
Yuanruan waved his hands, his face straight, revealing a serious cuteness.
She moved her chubby little hands here and there, then pointed at Prince Jing, whose face was slightly pale, and suddenly made a heart shape with her hands.
Suddenly, sparks exploded above Prince Jing's head. Prince Jing was so frightened that he rolled and crawled, shouting "Help! Your Majesty, help! Little Imperial Master, spare my life..."
Yuan Ruan was shocked by the other party's action. She withdrew her hand a little embarrassedly and said quickly: "Father, he has the bloody disaster. Well, horses are good for him!"
Everyone almost spit out water.
Horse beat him!
This reason is so damn brilliant.
Without horses as a means of transportation, no matter how much the royal family and nobles loved jungle hunting, they would not want to go hunting. After all, it is impossible to chase wild deer and other animals on foot.
System: [Hahaha, he's defeated! Okay, okay. It's Ah Ruan, I'll defeat him immediately. Prince Jing won't be able to travel long distances anymore.]
Yuanruan: [There is also an oxcart. There is nothing we can do. Our lives are more important.]
Prince Jing thought so too. He climbed up awkwardly, and was about to say with a smile, "So that's how it is", but unexpectedly the Minister of Rites reminded him in a low voice that he had to pull it.
Prince Jing immediately said: "This is impossible!"
Yuan Ruan nodded hard: "Really, I'm your enemy!"
"I have hunted so many times, how could I be defeated?"
"Really, there will be a bloody disaster soon."
Prince Jing thought Yuanruan's effort to nod was very cute and almost laughed.
The emperor could not bear to see the other party's poor "pull" acting skills, so he stepped forward and picked up Yuan Ruan, saying: "Since the national teacher said so, there is a certain truth. Prince, you go to the chief of the clan to count the horses and beasts in Prince Jing's fiefdom and take them all away."
The prince cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Afterwards, the emperor picked up Yuan Ruan and left.
The Prince of Huainan, who had been nervously waiting for punishment, was a little confused.
Wait, why did the emperor just leave like this?
Not only was the King of Huainan a little embarrassed, but the King of Yan was also a little nervous. After all, he was also considered a "rebel king."
At this time, the Third Prince suddenly came over with a silly smile and said, "Let's go."
Then he took away the King of Huainan and the King of Yan.
Some of the court officials who stayed behind were confused and whispered, "Why did your majesty leave? Why didn't you detain the Prince of Huainan? Is your majesty not going to pursue the matter?"
The Minister of Revenue turned around and said, "Are you stupid?" With the little princess here, shouldn't Your Majesty maintain a kind image? Didn't you see that the Third Prince took the person away afterwards?
That person: …
The Minister of Finance narrowed his eyes and said, "You are stupid, but His Majesty is not. His Majesty has great ambitions, just wait and see."
