"Tell me everything! What should we do now?"
Emperor Wen raised his eyes and looked at everyone, strangely there was no trace of anger on his face.
Faced with Emperor Wen's questions, the ministers didn't know how to start.
The main thing is that Emperor Wen’s attitude is very strange now!
In the past, Emperor Wen would have gotten angry a long time ago.
But today it was surprisingly quiet.
They all wondered if Emperor Wen had become numb from anger!
Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Wen rarely lost his temper. He simply looked at Yun Li calmly and said, "Since no one is willing to speak, then you, the crown prince, should speak first!"
"this……"
Yun Li frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
...
...
"It's okay. If you haven't thought it through, you can discuss it with the ministers."
Emperor Wen was surprisingly calm. "Anyway, I have nothing to be angry about now! I should be happy to have such a capable and brave son to help me recover lost territory! To put it bluntly, even if I run to Shuobei now, the Sixth Prince would not dare to do anything to me and would even treat me well with good food and drink! But as for you, it's hard to say..."
As he spoke, Emperor Wen gave Yun Li a meaningful look.
Suddenly, Emperor Wen seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians.
Why are you worrying about it?
This matter should be left to Prince Yun Li and the officials in the Prince's Mansion to worry about!
Even if Lao Liu rebelled and attacked the imperial city, he would not be able to kill him.
At most, we can just treat him as the emperor.
Don’t you two bastards like to fight?
I'll let you guys fight slowly!
The more Emperor Wen thought about it, the more relieved he felt and he almost laughed out loud.
Emperor Wen suddenly found that being an emperor could be very easy!
Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He finally realized that his father had begun to suspect that he was the one who instigated Wei Wenzhong to murder the sixth brother!
What the emperor meant was: You have to clean up the mess you made yourself!
This is really troublesome!
Yun Li had a terrible headache and immediately began to ask the ministers what they thought.
The ministers didn't know what to do for a moment and began to discuss in low voices.
Emperor Wen looked at him and ordered Mu Shun, "Bring me a pot of wine and two side dishes."
"ah?"
The Mushun people were dumbfounded.
This is the imperial palace!
The ministers are so worried here, and His Majesty still wants to drink here?
It turns out that His Majesty really intends to watch the show here!
The ministers looked at Emperor Wen in silence. If they had not been concerned about Emperor Wen's status, they would have cursed him.
It's your own family matter, and you just let us give you advice, and you're drinking leisurely?
"Ah what?"
Emperor Wen glared at Mu Shun and said, "Go when I tell you to!"
"yes!"
Mu Shun quickly took the order and immediately ran to tell the palace maids to serve wine and food.
"My dear ministers, please take your time to discuss this with the Crown Prince. It has been a long time since this matter came up, so there is no need to rush."
Emperor Wen showed a strange smile on his face, "Everyone, please speak freely. If anyone is thirsty, I will order someone to bring tea! But one thing, you can discuss it, but don't argue in front of me, don't ruin my mood."
“…”
Upon hearing this, all the ministers looked at Emperor Wen in confusion.
What is this?
Facing the resentful gazes of his ministers, Emperor Wen's mood suddenly became better. He turned around and said to Yun Li, "Don't stand here anymore. Go down and discuss this with the other ministers!"
"yes!"
Yun Li gritted his teeth and agreed, then slowly walked down the stairs.
Soon, the palace maids brought wine and side dishes.
Emperor Wen actually started drinking leisurely in front of his ministers.
If you don’t know, you would think that this matter has nothing to do with him!
No one knows what happened to Emperor Wen today.
I just felt that Emperor Wen was acting abnormally in every way today.
It has been so many years, and this is the first time they have seen Emperor Wen be so good-tempered.
Emperor Wen ignored everyone, took a sip of wine, and asked Mu Shun, "Spring ploughing should have started, right?"
"Yes."
Mu Shun replied: "Spring ploughing has begun in most places inside the Great Wall..."
At this moment, even Mu Shun, who had followed Emperor Wen for many years, was stunned.
Wasn’t this matter clearly stated in the memorials submitted by the ministers?
Why is His Majesty asking again?
"Dong Jingguo."
Emperor Wen looked up at Xu Shifu and asked, "Have the budgets for water conservancy repairs in various prefectures and counties been submitted?"
Xu Shifu quickly said, "Your Majesty, the report has been submitted."
"Does the Ministry of Revenue have enough silver?"
Emperor Wen asked again.
"That's enough for now."
Xu Shifu replied: "However, if we want to send troops to Shuobei, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely have a large shortage of money. If there is a flood or drought, I am afraid the court will not be able to provide money for disaster relief..."
"The money for disaster relief must be reserved."
Emperor Wen said calmly: "Okay, you guys continue to discuss!"
Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Xu Shifu couldn't help but groan inwardly.
Although Emperor Wen did not say how to deal with the Shuobei issue, his one sentence set the tone for the matter.
No fighting!
He has decided not to fight, so what else is there to say?
Xu Shifu understood what Emperor Wen meant, and naturally other ministers in the court also understood it.
Several veterans breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
As long as you don't fight, everything is fine!
When the imperial court fought with Shuobei, the ones that suffered the most losses were their own forces.
Moreover, even if the imperial court suffered heavy casualties, it might not be able to capture Beilu Pass.
Xu Shifu was helpless and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Shuobei, you should..."
"The affairs of Shuobei will be left to the Crown Prince."
Emperor Wen waved his hand and said, "You have been the crown prince for so long, it is time for you to share my worries! By the way, crown prince, here is a letter from your sixth brother. If you can't make up your mind for a while, you can take a look at this letter. You can read it by yourself, don't let the ministers laugh at our family!"
After that, Emperor Wen took out another letter and handed it to Mu Shun, motioning Mu Shun to pass the letter to Yun Li.
Yun Li frowned and took the letter from Mu Shun and started reading.
As he watched, Yun Li's face turned green.
Sixth brother!
I'll fuck your grandma!
At this moment, Yun Li really wanted to jump up and greet Yun Zheng’s eighteen generations of ancestors.
brute!
This beast doesn't behave like a human being at all!
This beast actually privately asked my father to let him personally lead the troops to escort Wei Wenzhong back to the imperial city.
damn it!
If I go and do this myself, I won't be afraid that Wei Wenzhong will be escorted back to the imperial city alive!
But if his mother Wei Wenzhong died on the way to escort, how would he explain himself?
By then, my father and the court officials will definitely think that I was the one who killed Wei Wenzhong!
Even if there is no direct evidence, I am still responsible for failing to escort the criminal properly and I will definitely be severely beaten!
How could this beast be so despicable!
Your grandma’s!
No wonder my father said he would leave this matter to me!
So this is the way to deal with it!
It turns out that my father has already made a decision in his mind!
Not only was he cheated by the Sixth Brother, but he was also cheated by his father!
What should I do now?
If I don't agree, my father will definitely let Qin Liu escort Wei Wenzhong back to the imperial city, and he will think that I am guilty.
If he agreed, he could easily kill Wei Wenzhong.
But if he failed to escort Wei Wenzhong properly and let him die on the road, he would also be in trouble!
Yun Li stared at the letter intently, his hands trembling...
