Chapter 311: The Suspicion of a Smart Person
System: [Because your brother is awesome. ]
Yuan Ruan was somewhat happy to hear this, and immediately said: [Haha, Tong'er, quickly tell me all about your wise and powerful actions.]
System: [Your brother is a severely paranoid person, so he also takes advantage of the paranoia of the other two emperors.]
Yuan Ruan was stunned for a moment, and explained: "Tong'er, I'm not a severely paranoid person. Think about it, I was able to tolerate talented officials and let them continue to repair the Daxia Canal. I was also able to let the defected Liu Mingxia become an official and learn from the teacher... There are many more, which all require a great mind and tolerance. So I have nothing to do with paranoia."
The emperor paused and his eyes flickered for a second.
The other court officials wiped their cold sweat unconsciously and wanted to say: Little Imperial Master, His Majesty doesn’t trust us, he trusts you!
The prince glanced at the officials and noticed their expressions as they wiped their sweat. He suddenly wanted to laugh: This might be the reason why the officials of Daxia were not so afraid of the news. After all, it was better to be embarrassed by having a little privacy exposed than to lose one's life by being implicated by the emperor.
System: [That’s right. Let’s talk about your brother’s operation directly. First, it was Chu. Your brother arranged for the secret guards to increase the frequency of sending letters, which aroused the vigilance of the fourth prince of Chu and the emperor of Chu. In other words, the emperor of Chu also read these family letters every day without missing a single one.]
Yuan Ruan nodded: [Yeah, I know that. So, did you add some "confidential" information to the letter?! To alert the Chu boss?]
System: [No, your brother's operation is much more delicate. He put a hidden poem in each letter, but the content is all specious, such as "checking books as last time". In addition, he sent a lot of people into Chu on the pretext of helping Prime Minister Li to retrieve his eloped daughter. These people did not cause trouble. Under the supervision of Chu officials, they walked around the capital of Chu, asked about prices, and drew pictures... etc. At the same time, he also asked special envoys to visit the Grand Master of Chu from time to time, talked about some topics about his daughter, mentioned a few books... Anyway, there are more than ten subtle operations, and Chu is nervous. ]
Yuan Ruan clicked his tongue twice: [Ask about prices, draw a picture of the city wall... These actions really have a sense of "the drunkard's purpose is not to drink". I understand why the State of Chu is nervous. 】
System: [Hahaha, right! Chu State was thinking, is inquiring about grain prices a preparation to attack the grain supply? Could this drawing be a sneaky drawing of the city wall? And is your brother trying to use his daughter to threaten the Grand Master of Chu State to be an insider... Anyway, the smart people thought together, and the more they thought, the more nervous they became, and they analyzed a lot of possibilities.]
Then, the system gave some examples of the thoughts of some high-ranking officials of the Chu State:
System: [They speculated that Daxia has already reached a strategic partnership with Chen State, and Wu Yi is just an empty shell. In fact, the Lin family twins have led their troops to lurk on the border between Chu State and Chen State.]
The Minister of War was stunned after hearing this: “I dare not even think about it, it would be great if such a good thing could really happen.”
System: [They speculated that Daxia had bribed the Grand Master of Chu, and the letter was discussing the time for the beheading operation.]
The court officials all shook their heads: Impossible, Impossible! You old emperors are about to become incompetent, and we will not help you cut off your heads.
System: [They also believe that the Great Xia State Master has created an invincible army, can resurrect the dead, and regenerate flesh and blood from bones. The Great Xia State Master has already become an immortal. The reason why the Xia Kingdom drew the map is to ensure that the meteorite will only kill the nobles and not destroy the farmland and shops! ]
After hearing the last analysis, Yuanruan, who had experienced an explosion of sensational information, was stunned.
She was speechless: If she had such means, she would have unified the four kingdoms long ago.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also speechless, but their ideas were completely different from Yuan Ruan's:
Emperor: You are a frog in a well. Why would you use the power of the little imperial teacher on this?
The Crown Prince: You are so short-sighted. Our Great Xia is not in dire straits. How can you use the power of national destiny at will?
Other court officials: Ignorance! The power of national destiny cannot be used indiscriminately! It's really as ignorant as a countryman imagining that the emperor is plowing the ground with a golden hoe!
Yuan Ruan took a deep breath and said, "Everyone in Chu is obsessed with the emperor! They really made Daxia and me into a fool. I can understand Chu, but what about Chen? Why did Chen think Chu and Xia were allied?!"
System: [Hehe, your brother has more thoughts on Chen State. First, Chu State did not dare to send troops, which made Chen State suspicious. Then, your brother arranged spies to sow discord in the court of Chen State, and testified in various ways that Chu State and Xia State had formed an alliance, and the emperor of Chen State believed it.]
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? The Emperor of Chen believed it?]
The court officials were also stunned: Is the Emperor of Chen so easy to fool? He just believed it?!
System: [He believes it. Because the young official who spoke is the one he trusts the most. Oh, I forgot to mention that the envoy from the State of Chen who spoke so eloquently in front of you is the spy sent by your brother, and the young official the Emperor of the State of Chen trusts the most.]
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty felt that their CPUs were about to burn out:!!!
What?!
The person the Emperor of Chen State trusts the most is actually a spy sent out by Da Xia?!
Is it that powerful? !
Among them, the Minister of Rites, who was in charge of external negotiations, and the Minister of Revenue, who was in charge of making money, were all excited: Haha, both sides of the negotiation table are our own people, how can Xia lose! Earn, earn as much as possible.
Yuan Ruan also widened his eyes and looked at the young man who was still arguing for Chen Guo.
Yuan Ruan: [Oh my god? This young saku is so capable! ]
The court officials also looked over.
This made Xizuo, who was talking at the time, feel nervous. He looked around suspiciously, found nothing, and then continued talking.
System: [He is capable, but there are also historical reasons. Ah Ruan, do you remember the story I told you before? The Xia Kingdom arranged a spy to fake his own death and later gained the favor of the Emperor of the Chen Kingdom.]
Yuan Ruan suddenly realized: [I remember, I remember! I understand. This young saku is related to the fake-death saku. He got the shadow of the previous fake-death saku.]
The system threw out electronic fireworks: [Yes and no! ]
Yuanruan: [Ah?]
System: [The identity used by this young spy is the illegitimate son of the faked dead spy. The Emperor of Chen State also uses him for this reason and trusts him more.]
Yuan Ruan guessed this, and a puzzled look appeared on her face: [Yes. That's what I meant. Isn't this just the aftermath of the previous generation? Is there anything wrong with that?]
The court officials who did not know the truth also became curious.
