Chapter 306 Is there anything even more outrageous? !
System: [There are even more outrageous unofficial histories. It is said that this man actually completely betrayed the country. But because the queen had an affair with him, the queen forced the credit of other generals for recovering the land onto this general. As for why he did not appear later, it is not that he really died, but that he entered the palace under an assumed name and became a male favorite to accompany the queen.]
Yuan Ruan: [Ah?! Wait, the history books also record that the empress had a male concubine? Who?!]
The emperor closed his eyes: ...
Prime Minister Li and the Minister of War were both terrified. They silently said, "This historian must not write names randomly! He must not use the names of his own children or nephews! If His Majesty gets angry, we're doomed!"
System: [Official history doesn't say it, but there are many unofficial histories. Basically, all the male officials she used had rumors. Hahaha, in the later generations of the previous line, there are still many netizens who like to pair up CP fans with the empress. One group holds high the banner of all empresses. Anyway, no matter what kind of official, as long as he is male and handsome, they will be taken in! ]
Everyone's pupils were shocked:! ! !
What? All, all?!
Yuan Ruan was not surprised to hear this: [I understand. The history circle is very fierce. All fans and unique fans will definitely fight. I guess all empress fans and empress general attack all fans will probably fight each other. It's... quite normal.]
System: [Hahaha, right, right. Ah Ruan, there is also the empress's gender change. They say that the empress is a hermaphrodite, so she dared to risk the world's disapproval and proclaimed herself emperor. The so-called retirement afterwards was actually because her hermaphrodite identity was discovered, and the royal family wanted to cover up this scandal...]
The Emperor and his party: !!!
The system then goes on to tell a lot of outrageous stories.
Because of this large piece of absurd history.
When the Minister of War was introducing the sand table, he got the name of the town wrong twice. Fortunately, Yuan Ruan was not familiar with the border area and did not hear it wrong.
The expressions of the people who listened to the unofficial history changed from pupils shaking, to pupils dilating, to eyes closing, and finally to relief, all of them relieved.
——People in later generations are quite wild.
…
After a while, Yuanruan and the system stopped gossiping and chatting.
Yuan Ruan suddenly asked: [Come to think of it, I still don’t know who this young general of the Li family is, the last general star of Daxia? ]
Prime Minister Li calmly watched the incident, as it wasn't his son anyway.
The Minister of War was a little nervous for his colleague. After all, this person's way of standing out was very strange. He only hoped that Your Majesty would continue to value talent more.
System: [You have seen it before. ]
Yuanruan was puzzled: [Who is it? ]
System: [Li Renba.]
Prime Minister Li's mind moved, and he felt vaguely familiar. After a while, he almost vomited blood. Wait, how could this be his grandson!
The Minister of War thought the name sounded very familiar. He thought about it carefully, then suddenly turned his head to look at the confused Prime Minister Li. Isn't this the name of Prime Minister Li's third daughter, or wait, fourth daughter... Anyway, isn't it the name of a daughter's son?
At that time, because she was going to marry a man with the same surname, this marriage was a big deal. She had to check the family tree and the five generations. It took a long time to get married. So he had a profound impact on the person involved.
Yuan Ruan: [This name, ah, I remember it now. Isn't it a slug kid I met when I lived in the Three Princes' Palace? But wasn't he only five years old? ]
System: [Yes. He is very small now, but he will grow up in the future. He is also the only promising military commander among Li Xiang's grandsons. ]
Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Wait, this is Li Xiang's grandson? As expected of Li Banchao. ]
System: [Haha, that’s right. The reputation of being a half-dynasty relative is well-deserved.]
Li Banchao Prime Minister: ...with mixed feelings
…
After that, the system did not continue to release news.
The Minister of War also found his rhythm again and started boasting, describing in detail the contributions of Wu Yi, the Lin brothers, and the Shi family.
Finally, the Minister of War concluded: "Your Majesty, the victory achieved by the generals is really great. Even the merchants coming from the northwest are spreading their reputation. So now that it has been kept secret, the people from the Chen State delegation probably know about it."
Prime Minister Li sighed, "What a pity for that money."
Prime Minister Li was talking about the money that the top leaders of the Chen State wanted to use to get the diplomatic envoys to rebel against the civilians, so the Chen State sent the first batch, which accounted for about one-fifth of the total funding.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, then said calmly: "Although it's a little early, it's okay."
Prime Minister Li and the Minister of War were both startled.
"Capture the Chen Kingdom delegation, and at the same time order Wu Yi's three armies to press on and hold Chen Kingdom accountable..." The emperor took a sip of tea slowly, "The Queen Mother was instigated by the Chen Kingdom delegation to commit treason."
Prime Minister Li's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: Right! Good! If we make public the fact that "Chen State instigated the Queen Mother of Xia State to commit treason", Xia State's occupation of Chen State's territory will be more legitimate! After all, who asked you to be so despicable first? It is right for us to counterattack and occupy everything in anger.
If Chen Guo wanted to fight, they would definitely not win at the moment, and that would mean Wu Yi and his men would lose their military merits for nothing. If Chen Guo gave up and refused to fight, that was fine, they could still extort money from them.
The more Prime Minister Li thought about it, the more excited he became. Suddenly, he glanced at Yuan Ruan, who was lying cutely in front of the sandbox, and sighed in his heart: Your Majesty dares to play such a treacherous trick! It's all because of the confidence created by the Imperial Master!
The Minister of War was so excited that he almost cried for joy: Good, very good, the purpose of his coming to visit Your Majesty has been achieved. Hehe, Your Majesty can use these words to send the Minister of Revenue, who was waiting at his house to persuade him to save military expenses, back home.
…
The emperor continued to arrange some guidelines.
Prime Minister Li and the Minister of War took out small notebooks to write down the key points, and their hands were left with traces of writing. In the end, each of them held a large pile of government affairs and left with satisfaction.
Yuan Ruan watched the two people leave happily.
She asked in her heart, "Why are they so happy?"
The emperor and the third prince were both confused for a second.
Qi Yue understood what Yuan Ruan was wondering about, but for a moment, she was at a loss for words.
At this time, the system also agreed: [Yes. Your brother has issued an order that all the details of the decree must be written before noon tomorrow. With such a short time and such a large workload, they will definitely have to stay up all night! Why are you still so happy? Aren’t you tired? ]
The emperor and the third prince then understood Yuanruan's confusion.
To be honest, the Third Prince didn't quite understand. He was the first to say, "Why aren't they happy? They have been entrusted with an important task. This is such a good thing."
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched. "Third Prince, you are really the chosen saint of workers! No, you are the chosen saint of capitalists."
No wonder you worked so hard on the previous line and almost died of overwork.
Qi Yue thought about it and tentatively replied: "Maybe, they love handling government affairs? Just like I like to shoot eagles with a bow?"
Yuanruan seemed to understand something in a trance. Love, it seems, can really make people forget about food and sleep.
The emperor smiled upon seeing this and picked Yuan Ruan up.
What San'er and Qi'er said are both right, but they are not applicable to the situation of Prime Minister Li and the Minister of War. These two are not purely loyal ministers.
It is not so much that they love politics as that they love the rights that come with it.
Of course, there is no need for these mundane matters to disturb Xiaojiu.
