Chapter 479 This is a mutual understanding

Yuan Ruan held his face and said, "Ah, no... this has nothing to do with the overall situation. How should I put it... the Second Prince's previous record of being invincible in women was a bit scary. Now it has been proven that he will still fail in his schemes with women. I think that's good."

Everyone nodded with sympathy: The Second Prince's defeat was certainly not good for Da Xia, but his winning streak was even more frightening.

Afterwards, Yuan Ruan was worried again: [What kind of trap did the eldest prince of Shu set? Is it difficult to deal with? ]

System: [Difficult! But the Second Prince asked your brother for help! The Second Prince sent a part of his plan to your brother in a secret letter. Your brother saw it and thought it was crude, too crude! Then your brother asked the secret guards to send a large amount of gunpowder to Shu, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Shu officials' spring hunting to blow up the rocks, killing and injuring a large number of Shu officials.]

Everyone:?!

As expected, you are the God of Killing!

Yuanruan's pupils trembled: [There is such a thing?! ]

System: [Yes. And after your brother blew up the bomb, he also arranged for people to spread rumors that the corrupt officials would be punished by heaven, which made the Shu officialdom panic. As a result, the Shu prince had no energy to investigate the identity of the second prince and only wanted to stabilize the government.]

Yuanruan: [6! ]

System: [There is more to it than that. Wasn’t the Second Prince a fake member of the Chen Kingdom’s nobility? After the explosion, the Shu Kingdom’s nobility came to the Second Prince and said in a tactful way that they wanted to use the Second Prince’s noble status to go to the Chen Kingdom and expand their own family.]

Yuan Ruan was shocked: [Ah? The Shu nobles trust the Second Prince so much? They even dare to say that they want to run away?]

System: [What can't be said? This person is not an exception. Most of the nobles want to escape now. Their first target is Chu State, and their second is Chen State. Anyway, the royal family of Shu State is in love every day, and they can't care so much about the nobles of Shu State.]

Yuanruan nodded.

The system continued: [The Second Prince also told your brother this news. Your brother was delighted when he heard it, thinking that this was a good opportunity to undermine Shu. In order to attract more elites from Shu to Xia and to show his goodwill, your brother made the Imperial Academy similar to the "Jixia Academy".]

Yuan Ruan nodded in sudden realization: [So that's how it is. No wonder the Taixue has put up a slogan, regardless of identity or gender, and open to all... Is this the call for talents that my brother is giving to the nobles of Shu?]

System: [Right, right, right! The Shu nobles are also very smart. They saw from the Imperial Academy incident that your brother was showing kindness to them, so they sent a large amount of food when Daxia encountered a flood. This is also silently telling you, brother, that they understand and appreciate it.]

Not far away, Prime Minister Li was stunned.

No matter it was the communication with the second prince, the transformation of the Imperial Academy into the "Jixia Academy", or the large amount of food sent by the nobles of Shu!

Such a big deal?! How come he didn't hear anything about it?! Was he squeezed out?!

Prime Minister Li, who considered himself His Majesty's number one lackey, was uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he walked to Prime Minister Wang in small steps and whispered, "Has His Majesty discussed this with you?"

Prime Minister Wang looked at Prime Minister Li knowingly and shook his head.

Prime Minister Li felt a little relieved, but still a little anxious. He turned around and was about to ask other colleagues.

As a result, he glanced around and found that the other court officials all had surprised and furtive looks on their faces. None of them were calm. Prime Minister Li was stunned, then calmed down in an instant and stopped asking questions.

Don't worry, no one knows! Your Majesty has not given up on me!
