Chapter 344 Absolutely Impossible
After Lin Jingyue saluted Lu Shiyan, she began to persuade Lu Shiyan, urging him to send troops as soon as possible, capture the capital, proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible, recover the country, and drive out the Western Rong.
Although a plague broke out in Xirong and they were already unable to take care of themselves, they stubbornly refused to withdraw their troops.
Back then, Xiao Ye suspected that the Lu family was too powerful and threatened the leader, so he framed the Lu family with a false charge and caused his father to die tragically at the border.
Lu Shiyan would not let him go so easily. He wanted him to see him personally pull him down from the throne and make him repent before his father's spirit tablet.
But he shared the same idea as Jiang Tangtang, believing that now was not the time to start another war.
At this time, we should recuperate and find ways to lead the people through the difficulties.
In fact, if Bohai County and other places were not close to the sea and sea rice could be grown after being taken over, he would not have sent troops this year.
Lu Shiyan rejected his proposal and asked Lin Jingyue to take up a post in Lingnan.
Jiang Tangtang often said that she lacked a secretary. As the Minister of Revenue, Lin Jingyue was in charge of the country's land, taxes, household registration, etc., and was completely suitable for this position.
But Lin Jingyue was shocked by his words.
He had recently often reflected on his previous lack of vision, and he also knew that Jiang Tangtang was not an ordinary woman. However, he did not feel humiliated because he was inferior to a woman, but rather felt the deep meaning of Lu Shiyan's arrangement.
An incredible guess arose in his mind, but he quickly denied the idea.
How is that possible?
What man doesn't respect rights?
How could he give up the opportunity to become emperor and let a woman become emperor?
Absolutely not.
He felt that even if Jiang Tangtang was a fairy and bewitched Lu Shiyan, no man could resist the temptation of the throne and make such a decision.
Lin Jingyue suppressed the absurd thoughts in his mind and led his family to Lingnan to take up his post.
After Lin Jingyue left, Lu Shiyan received a letter from Jiang Tangtang that Gugu had delivered. He rode Gugu back to Lingnan.
Lu Shiyan clearly felt that Gugu was flying faster than usual today.
"Gugu, have you made another breakthrough in your Kung Fu?"
Jiang Tangtang had told him about Gugu's origins, and he knew it was a true divine bird. However, because it had forcefully broken through the barrier of space to find Jiang Tangtang, its power was damaged, and it had been in a coma for many days in space.
But there is spiritual energy in the space, and it can still practice in the space. Lu Shiyan clearly feels that Gugu is different from usual.
Gugu called out twice proudly, as a response to Lu Shiyan's question.
Although Lu Shiyan and Gugu do not have a spiritual bond, they can communicate simply after spending a long time in contact.
Obviously, just as he guessed, Gugu Kung Fu had made another breakthrough.
Gugu flew faster than usual today, and Lu Shiyan returned to Lingnan earlier than usual. It was not yet completely dark outside.
When Su came to find Jiang Tangtang, she happened to meet Lu Shiyan.
"Have you just returned from Bohai County?"
Although the couple often traveled back and forth like this, Lu Shiyan usually rode back on Gugu only after finishing his official duties for the day.
When he returned to Lingnan, it was usually dark.
It was the first time that Su had seen her son riding a divine bird.
Looking at the divine bird covered in golden hair, taller than his son, standing beside him, a hint of hesitation flashed in Su's eyes.
Lu Shiyan nodded towards Su and said, "Mom, is there something you want to talk to Tangtang about?"
As time went by, Su Shi also felt that Jiang Tangtang's identity was not simple. Now she was not as comfortable as before when she saw her.
In addition, Jiang Tangtang is busy every day, so she usually doesn't come to see Jiang Tangtang.
The reason she came here this time was that the matter of her youngest son had been weighing on her mind for too long. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she came to Jiang Tangtang to inquire about Li Li's news.
Seeing Lu Shiyan, she simply called her aside and said, "Come with me, I want to ask you something."
Lu Shiyan touched Gugu's head, signaling her not to run around in the yard, and then followed Su to her yard.
Facing her own son, Su Shi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "What are your plans, Nan'an Kingdom?"
His mother never interfered in government affairs, but now she actually asked about their plans for Nan'an. Lu Shiyan was a little surprised.
Before he could reply, Su continued, "I think your brother has developed some unusual feelings for the Princess Nan'an he brought back with him."
Su was really distressed.
Even if my son liked a poor girl, it would be better than this. The eldest son led the army to destroy Nan'an. There was hatred between the family and the country, but the son fell in love with the princess of the fallen country...
Lu Shiyan had not expected such a development.
He was slightly surprised, but soon calmed down and became concerned about his brother's health. "How is your foot recovering? Is it possible to walk normally?"
Su said, "He has almost recovered. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed out to sea."
"That's good." Lu Shiyan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see him tomorrow."
After Lu Shili recovered, he returned to Taiwan to recuperate. In fact, Su Shi also spent most of his time on the island.
Like Lingnan, Baodao was also affected by drought and many crops failed.
There are also many tidal flats on the treasure island, and she had people turn the land into fields and plant sea rice.
She also followed Jiang Tangtang's advice and mobilized the islanders to plant cacti on a large scale.
There are already many wild cacti on the island, and with the Su family being able to mobilize people to plant them, the cactus production on the island is now very considerable.
And these cacti also helped the islanders a lot.
Cactus can be eaten as a vegetable and mixed with cornmeal to make cakes to fill the stomach. It can also be mashed into juice and used as a drink to quench thirst.
These cacti have largely solved the islanders' drinking water problem. Her visit to Jiang Tangtang this time wasn't just for personal matters.
After two years of continuous cultivation, the island now has a surplus of cacti beyond the islanders' needs. She wants to discuss with Jiang Tangtang whether they can also send the cacti to Bohai County for sale.
She had just come here from the island by boat today and hadn't seen Jiang Tangtang yet, so she simply told her son.
"Mom, tell her in person later." When it comes to business, Lu Shiyan feels that he is far inferior to Jiang Tangtang.
Although cactus can be eaten as a vegetable and made into a thirst-quenching beverage, most people have never encountered it. The noble families in the capital are the most concerned about their lives, so if they want to sell it well, they have to come up with a gimmick.
Lu Shiyan thought to himself, and said to Su: "Mom, you haven't eaten yet, right? Change your clothes first, and we'll talk while we eat."
Su was really envious of Jiang Tangtang's cooking skills, but she was also a little scared when she thought about her own guess.
But before she could refuse, Lu Shiyan had already strode out of the yard.
On the other side, Jiang Tangtang had already learned from Gugu that Su was coming.
