Gu Qingshi: I... alright, I guess I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated one person as another's shadow. But you can't blame me, Lian'er's little habits are very similar to my white moonlight. It's not wrong for me to be confused, but seeing the condemning looks from my colleagues, I lowered my head again.
Su Jinyun looked at Qin Qianluo, who was looking down, with some surprise. She had thought that Qianluo would make the same choice as Minister Gu, but she did not expect Qianluo to be so clear-headed. Then she smiled. Yes, that's Qianluo's nature. She treats everyone equally.
Qin Xiang and Qin Jiyuan also proudly raised their heads, as if to say: This is my Luo'er, she is just that outstanding!
The Emperor was no longer surprised to hear that two more emperors had appeared. He roughly understood that the dynasty in which the little girl from the Qin family lived in her previous life must have a very long history. Hearing 001's analogy, he put himself and the Empress into it, and after hearing the little girl's answer, he nodded. If he were in her shoes, he would have been in the same situation. He would have been confused at the time, but he would definitely have investigated after he came to his senses.
001 roughly understood, "Luo Bao is right. It's probably because Minister Gu is getting old and his mind isn't clear anymore."
The elderly and mentally unstable Minister Gu said, "That's enough. Go back to your residence and investigate. Yangzhou's 'slim horses' are strictly prohibited in the country. How could they appear in front of me? Not only did they make me lose face, but 001 also mocked me for being old and not clear-headed."
The ministers nodded silently, agreeing with 001's words. Although the Minister was only in his thirties, he did indeed act as if he was out of his mind.
The emperor, seated at the head of the table, glanced at Gu Qingshi and pondered: "Isn't Minister Gu even older than myself? Has he already become so senile? Should I give him a more relaxed position? After all, the Ministry of Revenue cannot be taken lightly."
Su Jinyun and Qin Shouzhen also looked at Minister Gu. Qin Shouzhen was puzzled. Was this guy not as good as himself? He wasn't even as old as him. Could he manage the Ministry of Revenue well? Should they suggest to the Emperor that a younger minister be promoted?
Qin Qianluo's lips twitched. "And what about the 'Yangzhou slender horses'? Could it be another trick by the Xuanyuan Kingdom? Do such inhumane things exist within the Tianxuan Realm?"
001 looked at it for a moment before saying, "Indeed, it's that dog emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom again. Half of the women he trains are spies, and the other half are 'slim horses' in Yangzhou. Moreover, these women who become 'slim horses' are all trained to be the favored ladies and young misses of various mansions, or the beloved daughters of various officials. Now they are all looking for opportunities to send themselves to those officials who have lost their beloved daughters. The Minister of Revenue is rather unlucky; he is the first one. Such immoral acts have long been explicitly prohibited within Tianxuan Kingdom. Once discovered, it will result in the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan."
The ministers exclaimed: "Such a vicious thought? The emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom is truly a dog emperor! How could he do something so immoral? The women of Xuanyuan Kingdom are truly pitiful."
Gu Qingshi: So only I will be ridiculed? How annoying! I want to send Lian'er to the prison right now to ruin my reputation!
The emperor and his two prime ministers exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with disgust. It seemed they needed to expedite the forging of weapons and equip the army with new equipment as soon as possible so they could conquer the Xuanyuan Kingdom. If they could do something so immoral, then attacking their own country was not unreasonable.
What they didn't know at the time was that there were many other inhumane things in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, things that were unacceptable to them, and that governing the kingdom after its destruction required a great deal of their energy.
Qin Qianlu rubbed her temples in annoyance. "It really is this country again. 001, collect more information about this country in the future. Once the weapons are forged and the food supply is plentiful, I'll give the information to my father so that Tianxuan has a reason to send troops to Xuanyuan."
001 agreed, "Okay, Luo Bao, I'll collect more in the future. But what about that woman in the Minister of Revenue's residence? How are you going to tell Minister Gu?"
Gu Qingshi: There's no need to trouble Princess Qingyun. I already know. I'll send that woman to the prison as soon as I get back to await her fate.
The ministers said: "Princess Qingyun, there is no need to worry. Minister Gu already knows. Just don't let Princess Qingyun get too tired. He will handle it himself."
Qin Qianlu thought for a moment, "I'll pass a note to my father after court. If he sees it, he'll tell Minister Gu. But what's with Minister Gu's 'white moonlight'? How could a similar face make Minister Gu go to such lengths, bringing her directly back to his residence?"
Gu Qingshi: There's no need to go into details, is there? Today has been embarrassing enough. Princess Qingyun, please leave me some fig leaf.
Ministers: We also want to know, 001, tell us quickly, we love to hear it. Just how powerful is that white moonlight? Years later, just because of a similar face, it can make the usually rigid Minister Gu disregard etiquette like this.
The emperor was also very curious. He wanted to hear gossip about his own ministers, as long as it wasn't something embarrassing about himself.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince moved silently closer to Princess Qingyun, wanting to hear more clearly. The ministers, seemingly engaged in serious discussion, were also secretly pricking up their ears.
