Cambodia, Thailand, Right Prime Minister's Office.
"What do you want to do!"
After being put on ice for several months, Right Prime Minister Yang Yizhen finally received good news. Whether it was that the Khmer King allowed him to return to the court and use him to balance the Left Prime Minister's party, which had become somewhat out of control, or that three of his more than a dozen new concubines were pregnant, these really stimulated the Right Prime Minister and made him as motivated as before.
Of course, if a person is in an atmosphere of only good news for too long, then he will not be able to hear bad news.
Especially since this bad news was directed at the person he disliked very much - Ruan Shihao.
"Right Prime Minister, I don't know what made you so angry. I am willing to share your worries." Ruan Shihao looked at Yang Yizhen with a smile and spoke slowly but politely.
Yang Yizhen looked at the inkstone he had just broken, the torn documents and the tea splashing everywhere, and felt that he had expressed his anger enough, but Ruan Shihao in front of him was still like a piece of taffy. Since he didn't want to be forced, he couldn't continue to use force.
After all, if he really had to force it, Yang Yizhen was still very worried about his concubine who had just become pregnant...
"Master Ruan." Yang Yizhen pretended to suppress his anger and said word by word: "Tell me, what do you mean by Qinghe?"
If it were in the past, when a right prime minister of a country acted like this in front of him, Ruan Shihao would try his best to cooperate and strive to leave a good impression, regardless of whether he could see how much of the other party was acting.
But Ruan Shihao is no longer the same as before.
"No, don't suppress your anger. Just keep scolding and throwing things. I'll just wait here. Even if something big happens, it won't be as big as you letting out your anger. If you keep suppressing your anger, what will happen if something bad happens?" Ruan Shihao smiled and played his sarcasm to the extreme.
Looking at Ruan Shihao's face, Yang Yizhen wanted to rush over, push his head into the toilet, and then wash it up and down.
However, since it has been decided that force is not an option, the Right Prime Minister is so cunning that he would not be moved even if his entire family was killed, so he would not be angered by Ruan Shihao's sarcastic words.
"I'm asking you, what is your plan by connecting with others, colluding with generals, and inciting the people to deal with the people of Qinghe?" Yang Yizhen asked.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. How could this happen? There must be a villain behind this. I never leave my house for years. How could I do such a thing?" Although Ruan Shihao's face showed "I did it", the words turned into denial when they came to his lips.
"Are you saying that I am a villain?" Yang Yizhen raised his voice.
"The Prime Minister is a big shot, so he is naturally not a villain. But there are so many villains in this world. I think someone must have sowed discord in front of the Prime Minister and made false accusations, otherwise the Prime Minister would not have misunderstood me." Ruan Shihao still had a righteous look on his face, looking like a real hero.
"Oh, so you mean you didn't collude with the generals or incite the people?"
"My Lord, to be precise, it should be said that the Qinghe bandits have not given up their intention to take over Cambodia. Any Khmer with blood in his veins should rise up and fight! I have only told these truths to some ignorant people. Otherwise, they might not even know where Qinghe is." Yang Yizhen said passionately.
"As for the generals, I can guarantee that I have no personal relationship with any of them, let alone any private connections."
Ruan Shihao knew very well that it was okay to tell the people something. After all, as a "Khmer hero", he was also a public figure in Cambodia. It was normal for him to express his opinions in front of the people. As long as he did not collude with the military officers, it would not be considered as the Khmer king's aging reverse, and Yang Yizhen would have no way to deal with him.
"What exactly do you want to do? What exactly do the people of Qinghe want to do?" Yang Yizhen no longer paid attention to Ruan Shihao's rambling and asked directly.
"Prime Minister, I only want to rally the people and fight for the Khmer Empire. As for what the people of Qinghe want to do, you should ask them. Or you can write a letter to the Earl of Qinghe and he will tell you."
"Don't you know the truth about your collusion with the Qinghe people? Ruan Shihao, a man should be brave enough to take responsibility for his actions. Since there are no outsiders here, why don't you just speak directly?"
"Prime Minister, listen to what you're saying." Ruan Shihao looked around cautiously. Seeing that no one was around, he leaned over to Yang Yizhen's ear and whispered, "I'm not colluding with the people of Qinghe. I'm from Qinghe. What the hell can you do to me? If you say one more word, His Majesty will have to choose another Right Prime Minister."
After saying this, he walked to the center of the main hall, bowed earnestly, and said, "This subordinate has completed his report and will take his leave!"
Under the watchful eyes of a reinforced battalion of spies at the gate of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Ruan Shihao walked out of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion with his head held high and his chest puffed out, with an expression of triumph.
The next day, a play about a treacherous right prime minister suppressing a loyal minister, only to be refuted one by one by Ruan Shihao, was heard on the streets of Taijing. This angered Yang Yizhen so much that he only had sex with three concubines that day. Of course, this is a story for later.
Ruan Shihao, who came out of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, was respectfully taken to the carriage by his servant.
After getting on the train, Ruan Shihao sat down in the servant's seat on the left side of the carriage with ease. He then bowed to the servant in the main seat and said with a smile, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
"I told you not to call me Sir. Sir Ruan has a bright future and is highly regarded by the Earl of Qinghe. It's only a matter of time before he rises to prominence. I'm just a small agent in the Intelligence Department and don't deserve Sir Ruan's courtesy."
