Chapter 312 I do it for myself? !
System: [Hehe, the biggest mistake is that this young spy is the fake dead spy.]
The courtiers' pupils trembled: !!!
What?!
Pretending to be his own illegitimate son? !
As the court officials were surprised, Prime Minister Wang looked thoughtfully at Prime Minister Li and whispered, "Your idea."
Prime Minister Li paused and gave a fake smile: "You are too kind."
Prime Minister Wang: ...
Still don't admit it? You have a criminal record.
Yuan Ruan's pupils trembled: [What?! These two spies are the same person? Didn't Chen Guo find out? ]
System: [I didn't realize it. Originally, Xia Country's disguise technology was very good. Later, with the addition of Tian Langjun, the disguise ability was ten blocks ahead of other countries. How did you find it? ]
Yuan's chubby face showed confusion: [Xia Country is so short of fine works? ]
System: [Xia Country is not short of details. It should be said that they just want to create a feeling of "Wan Wan is like you".]
Yuan Ruan was stunned for a moment: [Huh? A minister also needs a substitute? The risk is too great, is it necessary?]
System: [It's risky, but it works. The Emperor of Chen originally promoted the illegitimate son of an old friend because he missed his old minister. Since then, he has seen the character of his old friend in the son, and the Emperor of Chen has trusted Xi Zuo more and more. Anyway, your brother's operation not only won a victory for Daxia, but also caused a crack in the Three Kingdoms Alliance headed by Chu. ]
Crowd: !!!
Yuan Ruan showed an admiring expression: [Brother, you are awesome! Awesome! ]
The system's electronic seal applauds: [Right, awesome! Awesome!]
The emperor's mouth curled up slightly.
After a while, Yuan Ruan sighed again: [Who came up with this "I stand for myself" trick? It's absurd yet a bit powerful, and it actually controlled the Emperor of Chen.]
System: [Hahaha, this was also planned by your brother. But he didn't come up with this idea. It's because your brother encountered the exact same routine before and he was deeply impressed by whether it worked or not.]
emperor:……
Courtiers: !!!
My ears immediately stood up! What? Your Majesty has also experienced the same thing as Wanwan?
The Minister of Rites, who had taken a step forward to ask the envoy of Chen State something, paused. He retreated silently. After all, the person in front of him was his own family, so he was not in a hurry to negotiate. But this kind of royal gossip, one less to eat, can't be distracted.
Yuan Ruan's eyes lit up: [What is it?! ]
System: [You still remember Prime Minister Li's former lover, Bai Yueguang's son. He unfortunately passed away that year, and your brother was very sad. Prime Minister Li was also sad for a while, but he valued power and felt that the relationship between Bai Yueguang and your brother should not be wasted, so Prime Minister Li dressed up his other son to look like Bai Yueguang, and then took a similar route to come to your brother.]
Yuan Ruan turned his head in disbelief and looked at Prime Minister Li: [Wa Qu, this guy is too fond of intrigue. ]
Many court officials also turned to look at Prime Minister Li in shock.
Prime Minister Li felt uneasy and stole glances at the emperor.
Emperor: ...Close your eyes.
System: [Yes. Your brother was also surprised by the appearance of a similar substitute, and was in a trance for a while, but then he became furious. To be honest, if your brother hadn't remembered the old friendship of the Li family's elder brother who had died less than two months ago, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen Prime Minister Li today. But because of this, your brother sent Prime Minister Li away to live in a wasteland for two years.]
Prime Minister Li was shocked: What?! He had always thought that he was exiled and suffered for two years because his eldest son was gone and the emperor no longer cared about his past, but he never thought that it was his own fault.
Yuan Ruan: [It's wrong! Prime Minister Li did not do this right. ]
System: [Aruan is right. ]
Prime Minister Li's face turned even paler.
He now wanted to kneel down and beg the Imperial Master to stop talking, but he didn't dare. He could only look at the Emperor pleadingly with a thick face.
However, the emperor closed his eyes early and was completely unable to receive any signal from Prime Minister Li asking for mercy.
Yuan Ruan continued to sigh: [But then again, you are indeed my brother. With just a few schemes, you have made a lot of money and three cities.]
System: [No, no, no, it's a large sum of money and five cities.]
Courtiers: ???
Wait, didn’t the envoy just now say that he wanted to redeem the two cities? ! Didn’t His Majesty agree? !
Yuan Ruan also asked: [Ah? Didn’t you just agree to return the city to Chen State? ]
System: [Yes! Ah Ruan, do you remember? Your brother got the map to Dayuezhi, so he planned to dispatch part of the army to Dayuezhi immediately. But in this way, the garrison troops of the five cities were insufficient. Your brother thought that it would be better to let Chen State take care of it first instead of letting the Xiongnu cause chaos. After the army came back, we could take everything back.]
Yuanruan was stunned: [6]
The generals' eyes all lit up: Your Majesty, this is a great idea! Very good! Very good!
The civil officials seemed to be thinking about it, and some of them were eager to give it a try.
In the entire hall, only the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Revenue had strange expressions. The Minister of Rites was thinking with a frown on his face, while the Minister of Revenue was clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
After a while, the Minister of Revenue took the initiative to find the Minister of Rites who was sighing, and whispered: "Sir, this is not appropriate! If we send troops again..." The national treasury is already in debt, and it will go bankrupt if it is burned again.
Before the Minister of Revenue could finish his words, the Minister of Rites took over.
"Yes, if we send troops again, we will have no legitimate reason!" The Minister of Rites turned to look at the Minister of Revenue, his expression very solemn, even worried, "When two countries are at war, we must occupy the high ground of public opinion. How can we go back on our word in such a short time after we have agreed on the terms? Minister of Revenue, you are well-informed, can you think of a better reason to justify the war?"
Minister of Revenue: ...Get lost.
At this time, Yuan Ruan said again: [If we need to mobilize troops again, can the male mother come back before the New Year? ! ]
The system suddenly chuckled: [Don't worry! Your brother is sending troops to secretly go to Dayuezhi, with a male mother as the commander. Such a big target must be returned to the capital of Xia! When the time comes, pounce on him and bury your head in his chest.]
Yuan Ruan was a little embarrassed: [Tong'er, I'm grown up now. How can I be so embarrassed to fly? ]
Everyone nodded repeatedly, eager to point fingers at the system.
System, can you understand something? Stop instigating our little imperial master!
The system said seriously: [Ah Ruan, don’t be scared! You are not even three years old yet. She is a male mother. She can bounce back when you poke her. She feels warm and secure when you hold her. Are you really not going to bury her? ]
Yuan Ruan thought for a moment and said honestly: [Bury.]
emperor:……
Courtiers: ...
After that,
The system and Yuansoft will also reveal the words of the young envoy Chen Guo sentence by sentence.
In other words, with Yuan Ruan's intelligence, the court officials knew very well the bottom line of the Chen State, and what benefits Xi Zuo could secretly bring to Daxia after agreeing to the young Xi Zuo's conditions.
Because of this, the attitude of the Xia courtiers towards the envoy Chen Xizuo became more friendly, and when it came to negotiations, they nodded in agreement without hesitation, and there was no discussion or wrangling in between.
This made Chen Xizuo feel a little weird.
Did the Imperial Master's mind reading reveal something?! Or was it some other reason?! After all, he couldn't hear his inner voice now, so he was a little unsure about his own judgment.
After a while, he secretly wrote down the names of several people with the friendliest attitudes, including the Vice Minister of War and the Vice Minister of Rites, and prepared to report them to the Emperor of Daxia after leaving the court, in order to alert these officials who might be pro-Chen State.
