After hearing what Jiang Wan'er said, several ministers who wanted to speak swallowed the words that were on the tip of their lips.
After a pause, Jiang Wan'er continued, "Gentlemen, please all leave first. I still have something to say to Zhao Hao alone."
All the ministers respectfully said yes and then all retreated.
When only she and Zhao Hao were left in the hall, Jiang Wan'er said, "Zhao Hao, you have made a great contribution to the Great Gan by going on this mission to Shu."
"But, I want to know what you think about handing over the manufacturing method of thunder bombs to Shu Kingdom."
"I believe that you should be very clear that even if this battle is more difficult and the casualties are greater, I do not want you to teach the method of making thunder bombs to Shu."
"Am I right?"
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. I know what your Majesty is thinking, as well as what the civil and military officials in the court are thinking."
Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes flashed, and she asked, "Then why do you still do this?"
"I want to know the reason!"
Zhao Hao said, "Your Majesty, there are two reasons. First, under the circumstances at that time, if I didn't do this, Shu would not make a decision immediately. They could still delay it, but I can't do it!"
"We need a lot of food and supplies. Without food and supplies, we can't fight this battle."
"The second reason is that I can use this to get Shu to send troops, which will greatly reduce our pressure. The Shu army has not only helped us to break the siege of Tongshan."
"Still in Yucheng, holding back 60,000 Wu troops."
"Combining these two points, I think this is the most appropriate and most beneficial thing for me to do right now."
"If there is a third reason, it is that I don't want us to do anything big and consume too much national strength at this time."
"If the consumption is too great, it may take eight to ten years to recover."
“That’s what I don’t want to see.”
Jiang Wan'er's eyes fell on Zhao Hao without blinking.
"Is that all?"
Zhao Hao was startled and said, "Your Majesty means..."
Jiang Wan'er narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "From my point of view, you don't seem to take the Thunder Bomb too seriously."
"why is that?"
Zhao Hao raised his eyelids and said, "Your Majesty, this is true. I invented the thunder bomb myself."
"This thing is really useful when used to defend the city."
"But, when two armies are fighting, that may not be the case."
"So, in my eyes, although the Thunderbolt is powerful, it is not the kind of thing that can really determine the outcome of a victory."
"That's why I think it's more important to use the method of making thunder bombs in exchange for an alliance with Shu Kingdom, and for Shu Kingdom to send troops to contain Wu Kingdom."
Jiang Wan'er glanced at him meaningfully and said softly, "Well, you've been away from home for so long, go home and have a look!"
"By the way, during your time in Shu, Yongning must have missed you very much. Go see her after you return home."
Zhao Hao nodded: "Yes, then I will take my leave first!"
After saying this, Zhao Hao looked at Jiang Wan'er deeply, then bowed and walked out.
After leaving the Pepper Room, Zhao Hao took a deep breath.
Finally managed to fool it.
The look in Yu Jie's eyes just now seemed as if she knew that he had a weapon more powerful than the thunder bomb.
Looking back, Zhao Hao shook his head vigorously, left the palace and went home.
Just a moment after he left, the blue bird appeared in front of Jiang Wan'er.
Jiang Wan'er asked softly, "Tell me everything Zhao Hao did in Shu."
Bluebird nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, since arriving in Shu, Marquis Wushuang has been suppressed by the Shu literati and wants to get back at them."
"Marquis Wushuang didn't want to have a conflict, but he was so annoyed that he just agreed."
"But I set a jackpot and placed a prize of one thousand and one hundred horses from the Kingdom of Shu."
Hearing this, Jiang Wan'er immediately waved her hands and said, "What? He even had a literary fight with someone else?"
Zhao Hao didn't mention this aspect just now.
Because he felt that these were all small things and there was no need to talk about them.
The blue bird said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the matchless one of Wushuang Hou was so unique that even the great scholar Qiu Rui of Shu Kingdom could not match it, so he won three hundred precious horses."
Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but ask, "Oh? What's the couplet? Tell me."
The Blue Bird said, "Marquis Wushuang came up with the first line of the couplet: Smoke locks the willows in the pond. The scholars of Shu were given ten days, but no one could come up with the right answer."
"Later, the great scholar Qiu Rui of Shu Kingdom took the initiative to invite Wushuang Marquis to his house. Qiu Rui said that it would be impossible for anyone to match this couplet even in ten years, let alone ten days."
"It would be great if someone could come up with the second line within a hundred years!"
Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said softly, "The willows in the pond are locked in smoke... It is indeed a masterpiece that will last forever."
"Okay, go on."
Bluebird then continued, "Your Majesty, although Wushuang Marquis is young, I have seen with my own eyes during this mission to Shu that Wushuang Marquis is indeed a man of great talent."
"I thought I was just doing this for the sake of convenience. Later, when I was transporting military rations and all the dealers in Shu refused to accept our business, I suddenly realized the reason."
"It turns out that Wushuang Hou had thought of this a long time ago."
"It was thanks to these three hundred precious horses that we were able to transport the first batch of food back."
"Later, he negotiated and gambled with King Xiaoyao. Qingniao witnessed the entire process with his own eyes."
"Marquis Wushuang is mature beyond his age, and everything he has done in Shu is flawless."
"In fact, it was fortunate that Your Majesty had a keen eye for talent and made a decisive decision, overcoming all objections and letting Marquis Wushuang go to Shu."
