Chapter 242 Who should start first?

Seeing that Grandpa Kan had important business to attend to, Jiang Yingcheng said goodbye to the two of them obediently.

Kan Ruifeng was filled with bitterness.

Although the boy would definitely find ways to slip them a note later, the news was so urgent that he felt it would be too torturous to wait even for just one day.

But things had come to this point, and he had no choice but to leave with his colleagues in tears.

The alley soon welcomed new passers-by.

General Lei Zhixin of Guide was invited to sit next to the young man, and unceremoniously grabbed two small snacks in his hands: "Your Highness, you want to ask, what are the reasons we use when we attack other countries?"

Jiang Yingcheng nodded in a rice-pecking manner: "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

She was actually very interested in the opening up idea that Grandpa Kan had just proposed, but unfortunately, Grandpa Kan was called away just after they had chatted for a few words.

"It's actually very simple. We have two most common methods," Lei Zhixin thought the boy was just trying to help Emperor Mingze solve his problems, so he smiled and answered truthfully, "First, we seize on the enemy's mistakes and publicize them."

Dayui is a country of etiquette and rituals, and when it attacks other countries, it must have a legitimate reason.

This "name" is a topic worthy of study.

There is even a record in the history of Da Rui that in order to attack another country, an emperor organized a group of confidants to read history books. Finally, from an extremely inconspicuous corner, they found that the small country had attacked an unknown small country in a certain year. In the end, he was angry and sent troops to avenge the wronged small country.

There are so many tricks involved here that both of them jumped to the next method in tacit understanding.

"And the second one?"

"The second is to send envoys to other countries..."

At this point, Lei Zhixin's expression suddenly became a little indescribable.

"Go to another country, and then what?" Jiang Yingcheng asked.

Lei Zhixin said in a harsh voice: "Then... let the envoys cause trouble, and get beaten up by the neighboring country, so that we have a reason to go out..."

Jiang Yingcheng: “…”

Although it sounds a bit painful, I feel inexplicably moved!

Jiang Yingcheng swallowed his saliva: "...Is this method useful?"

“It used to work.”

"Before?" Jiang Yingcheng saw that her uncle Lei had finished the snack in his hand, and sensibly handed him two more pieces. "What about now?"

Lei Zhixin took a bite of his snack and said, "Now... this method has spread among various countries, and no one is fooled anymore."

The small country they attacked this year was the last country that could be deceived by this method.

"Oh, by the way," Lei Zhixin finally remembered the question he forgot to ask before, "Why do you ask this?"

"hold head high……"

Jiang Yingcheng raised her head and met her Uncle Lei's eyes. The expressions on their faces were each clear and innocent.

After a while, Jiang Yingcheng looked away guiltily and gave two dry laughs in a slightly awkward manner.

Lei Zhixin: “…”

An ominous premonition arose spontaneously and quickly crept into his head, causing his scalp to feel numb.

Please, don't be——

【Hehe, I learned something! 】

Lei Zhixin looked like he was about to fall apart.

What did you learn?!

What did you learn?!

What on earth are you going to do?!

"Uncle, you must have something to do in the palace, right?" Jiang Yingcheng quickly closed the stall and thoughtfully stuffed two more cakes over. "Then uncle, you go and do your work. Chengcheng will go back first~"

Jiang Yingcheng stretched out her hand skillfully and let her Uncle Lechen pick her up. After finding a comfortable position, she turned around and waved goodbye to her Uncle Lei.

In the originally bustling alley, Lei Zhixin was the only one left standing stiffly there, as if he had been turned into a cold statue by the biting cold wind.

…

On the day of the New Year's Day banquet, Jiang Yingcheng got up much earlier than usual.

Fang Siwan put on an extremely sweet light pink dress and a creamy white shawl with a white fur collar around the neckline. She looked so adorable that one would want to give her a large purse of pocket money at first sight.

——"Right?" Jiang Yingcheng stood at the door of Yunxi Palace, looking up at the King of Jianggu Kingdom who came to attend the banquet, with an innocent look on his face.

The King of Jianggu: "..."

The King of Jianggu, suddenly attacked by the memory of death, burst into tears, took out a navy blue purse from his sleeve, and handed it over with a forced smile: "Of course, your little prince is very cute today."

Jiang Yingcheng uttered a few auspicious words in a crisp voice, then took the purse and handed it to Uncle Laochen behind him.

There were already seven or eight purses of different colors hanging around her waist, each of which was bulging and made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The King of Jianggu State took a deep breath and quickly walked into the hall.

Even after walking a long way, you can still hear the little boy's crisp, childish voice, constantly greeting the visitors.

"Uncle You, have a happy New Year's Day!"

"Uncle Sheng, you look really handsome today!"

Behind every nice and auspicious word, there are a lot of cold transactions that can also bring warmth to people's wallets.

The King of Jianggu felt very upset after hearing this.

Officials from Da Rui also came in one after another. Seeing the small "stall" set up by the young man, they also sent New Year's Day "blessings" in a very polite manner.

Jiang Yingcheng accumulated a large amount of wealth in one fell swoop, and his almond-shaped eyes were so smiling that only a thin slit remained.

Just after the 9:00 p.m., almost all the people attending the banquet had gathered.

At this time, the New Year's Day banquet had not yet begun, and Emperor Mingze and the Empress had not yet arrived, but people gathered in twos and threes to socialize and greet each other. The most bizarre and lively among them was the Qingliu Party that suddenly gathered in the court of Da Rui.

A group of ministers who could hear the young man's thoughts huddled in a corner of the Yunxi Palace, each of them had an expression of suspicion and shock on their faces from the news they had just learned.

"Did the young prince really ask you this?!" The mighty general Yan Yuebin widened his eyes as if he was facing a powerful enemy, as if as long as Lei Zhixin gave an affirmative answer, he would rush forward and fight the opponent to the death.

Lei Zhixin shrank his neck back, his voice was very unconfident, and also revealed a bit of grievance: "Your Highness pretended very well at the time, and asked me a lot of irrelevant questions at first, and then asked it casually. How should I know that even this was planned!"

Minister of Finance Jiao Hongmiao took a deep breath and said angrily: "When the young prince asked me how to make money, I realized something was wrong. I never thought that things would develop to this point."

If the young prince really has any dangerous thoughts, they will be blamed even if they die a thousand times!

"Don't say anything," Kan Ruifeng suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The young prince has moved."

Everyone was startled and immediately looked towards the entrance of the temple with bated breath.

Jiang Yingcheng at the entrance happily handed today's "battle record" to her Uncle Chen, and then looked up at the envoys from various countries in Yunxi Palace, her bright eyes full of cunning.

【Who should start with? 】

The ministers who were staring at the young man's movements froze in their tracks, and for a moment they felt as if their breathing was about to stop.

Are you really going to do it?!
