Chapter 480 Great Gift (Part 2)
If we miss this opportunity for the northern border to recuperate, we don’t know when we will be able to get a second chance.
So there is no choice.
Emperor Muwu took a deep breath and said, "Tang Zhongli, I remember that you are fluent in Wazhen. Go and discuss with the Ministry of Rites immediately and come up with a plan. Since he wants peace, we should handle it well!"
Tang Zhongli kowtowed: "I obey your order."
Jiang Zhaoyuan was a little confused.
Is that it?
That--
He opened his mouth and wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Emperor Mu Wu's expression, he swallowed his words back.
Instead, it was Emperor Mu Wu who noticed his expression and asked, "Does Mr. Jiang have anything else to add?"
Jiang Zhaoyuan bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I will obey your order."
A hint of cold sarcasm flashed across Emperor Muwu's eyes.
He said, "I almost forgot that Mr. Jiang came here today to resign. How can Mr. Jiang bear all these troubles?"
ah?
Jiang Zhaoyuan didn't react for a moment.
What does this have to do with anything?
Aren’t we talking about the real thing? Why did it suddenly come to his head?
The next moment, Emperor Mu Wu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
"In this case, I will grant Mr. Jiang's request."
Jiang Zhaoyuan couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty?"
He was just there to pretend, how could Emperor Mu Wu really agree! ?
However, Emperor Muwu had already made up his mind: "In addition, Chen Songshi will be promoted to the position of Chief Minister of the Cabinet, and Tang Zhongli will be transferred to the Cabinet as the Minister of Personnel."
Jiang Zhaoyuan was shocked - this was clearly a replacement for him!
He finally panicked: "Your Majesty, I—"
"Mr. Jiang has devoted his life to the country and the people. Now it's time for him to enjoy his old age." Emperor Mu Wu said solemnly, "Especially since he has been troubled by so many things recently, I think Mr. Jiang has long been fed up with it. How about this?"
Jiang Zhaoyuan's heart beat violently, and the strong sense of crisis forced him to swallow the words that were about to come out.
Emperor Mu Wu's words were clearly a warning!
——If he continues to occupy this position, he will definitely be implicated in Xiao Chengxuan’s next case!
By then, it won't be so easy to get away with it unscathed!
Jiang Zhaoyuan's heart was in turmoil.
He came today just to show off, but who knew that there was trouble in Wazhen and Mumu Zhen'er was unable to take care of herself. Emperor Mu Wu concluded that they would not commit trouble again in a short period of time, so he naturally had extra energy to deal with the affairs in the court.
Then, anyone can take the position of Prime Minister!
What's more, although Chen Songshi was not as good as him, he was also highly respected and had many admirers.
With the addition of Tang Zhongli, these two people working together will have no problem stabilizing the cabinet.
Jiang Zhaoyuan had figured out the interests involved in this matter in a short period of time, and therefore he was particularly clear that Emperor Mu Wu suddenly changed his mind because he was sure of his chance.
He won't change his mind again.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaoyuan suddenly felt regret and sadness in his heart.
——If he had known this would happen, he would never have resigned! This gave these people an opportunity to take advantage of it!
But now that the words have been spoken, how difficult is it to take them back?
The princess glanced at him and reminded him, "Mr. Jiang, why don't you kowtow to thank the emperor for his grace?"
Jiang Zhaoyuan gritted his teeth, and finally slowly bent his back, with his forehead touching the cold ground, and a bone-chilling chill swept through his whole body.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
…
Emperor Muwu left Chen Songshi and Tang Zhongli to discuss the peace talks with Wazhen in detail.
Ye Chutang knew that he had nothing to do with it, so he tactfully left.
The princess hurriedly said, "Yanchuan, it snowed yesterday and the road is not easy to walk on. Go and see Chutang off."
Ye Chutang: “…”
The road was more difficult when she came in the morning, but she still arrived on time, didn't she?
Chen Yanchuan was obedient and looked at Ye Chutang: "Second Miss Ye, please."
…
It was almost noon. It was a rare sunny day today. The snow was gradually melting, reflecting the light of the ice.
The two of them were walking on the palace road, with Ye Chutang lagging behind by half a step.
The air after the snow was especially fresh and cool. Ye Chutang took a deep breath, and finally exhaled the air that had been trapped in the hall. He felt much more refreshed.
Thinking of what happened today, Ye Chutang took the initiative to speak: "Prince, will it delay my business if you send me back?"
Chen Yanchuan tilted his head slightly: "Business?"
Ye Chutang looked straight at him - he must know what she was referring to, right?
Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Yanchuan smiled and said, "Are you talking about the peace talks with Wazhen? I am only responsible for delivering the message. The rest will be decided by your majesty and the ministers."
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.
Why did he choose to come on the day when Jiang Zhaoyuan took the initiative to resign?
He even brought Chen Songshi and Tang Zhongli with him, just to block Jiang Zhaoyuan's retreat.
Originally, Jiang Zhaoyuan just wanted to shout slogans, but Shen Yanchuan came and caught Jiang Zhaoyuan off guard.
This time, I have to retreat even if I don’t want to!
Moreover, as soon as he retreated, someone else took his place, leaving him no room at all.
Even if he wanted to go back on his word, there was no place for him to interfere in the cabinet again.
I lost everything.
Ye Chutang shrugged: "The prince is a master of strategy and can win battles thousands of miles away. No one else can compare to him."
Chen Yanchuan accepted it happily: "Miss Ye Er, thank you for the compliment."
Ye Chutang: “…”
What kind of good person can boast about himself so calmly?
Could he not hear that she was being yin and yang?
However, after thinking about it, Ye Chutang found that Chen Yanchuan seemed to be really qualified to say this.
——The news he wanted about Northern Xinjiang could be obtained immediately, and Wa Zhen immediately provided him with a helping hand in pushing Jiang Zhaoyuan down.
It seemed as if everything was under his control.
This man was indeed unfathomable, yet he admitted it in person in front of her, not hiding any of his calculations.
Ye Chutang felt inexplicably nervous.
She simply chose to remain quiet and didn't want to find out more.
But Chen Yanchuan didn't seem to have this idea, instead he took the initiative to speak: "Miss Ye's birthday is coming soon, right?"
Ye Chutang was stunned for a moment, then he realized belatedly that it seemed to be true.
The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month was her eighteenth birthday.
But after three years of wandering around, she didn't have the time to do that.
I didn’t expect Shen Yanchuan to know…
Of course, she knew very well that with his abilities, it would not be difficult to find out these things.
She nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Shen Yanchuan's eyes lingered on her face: "Then...how do you want to live?"
This question really stumped Ye Chutang.
How to pass?
She never cared about these things. In previous years, it was Afeng who took care of everything, but this year he was not here, so Ye Chutang had even less plans.
Just taking Ah Yan and Xiao Wu out for a nice meal?
"It's all right." Ye Chutang said indifferently.
Shen Yanchuan looked at her expression and found that she really didn't care.
If it were another woman, she might have started looking forward to how to celebrate her birthday early on, but she seemed to care nothing about it.
Chen Yanchuan paused for a moment and said:
"When the time comes, I want to give you a gift. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"
