nTranslator: 549690339

n“Why? Are you standing out to stop us now to sow discord between the Imperial Court and Marquis Southpeak?”

nGe Hong’s words were laced with a spear and a stick.

nOn the one hand, he attacked Wang Fuyue’s evil intentions, and on the other hand, he emphasized that this was Li Yueming’s personal wish, and he had completely removed the relationship between the imperial court and himself. Lastly, he would praise the loyalty of Marquis Southpeak’s family.

nIf Wang Fuyue continued to stand up and cause trouble, would it indirectly mean that Wang Fuyue had smuggled goods? Seeing this situation, Wang Fuyue could only sigh.

nHe wanted to help Marquis Southpeak.

nBut now, it was Li Yueming who suggested going to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

nEven if he wanted to help, he had no idea where to start.

nHe might even be dragged into the water by his arch-enemy.

nThe higher the position, the more careful one had to be.

nEvery word and action had to be considered for the overall situation.

nOtherwise, if they were not careful, it was still a light punishment. There were also many people who would be executed.

nWang Fuyue lowered her head and stopped talking.

nGe Hong was satisfied. He looked at the emperor who was sitting high not far away and reported,””Your Majesty, there is no time to lose at the northern border. There is no time to delay. Therefore, I think we should do as General You says!”

n“As for the son of the Marquis of Southern Mountains, not only did he discover and thwart the Qin army’s plot, but he also thought of a way to resolve the crisis in the Northern Lands. Although it hasn’t been put into practice, his initial intentions are good. To have such talent at such a young age is truly the fortune of our Great Zhou!”

n“Therefore, in my opinion, you should be heavily rewarded!”

n“However, the Northlands is currently in a crisis. The specific rewards can be delayed slightly. We can decide after the situation has stabilized!”

n“As for the candidates for the Northlands…Since it was the son of the Marquis of Southern Mountains who came up with the plan and volunteered himself, I think we can give him a chance to prove himself. After all, if we can really find a way to communicate with the spirit beasts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, not only will the crisis in the Northern Lands be resolved, but it will also be a great thing for the Great Zhou!”

nGe Hong spoke for a long time, but the recuperation was very clear.

nHowever, everyone in the imperial court was a shrewd person.

nTherefore, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Ge Hong did not want the heir of the Marquis of South Mountains to be well. He clearly wanted to kill the heir of the Marquis of South Mountains!

nAfter all, the plan that the son of the Nanyue Lord had proposed sounded perfect.

nHowever, there was a crucial problem.

nThat was how to communicate with the spirit beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

nSince the Qin army dared to roam the northern lands after being discovered by the Great Zhou, it meant that the Snow Mountain Spirit Beasts were not easy to communicate with.

nMoreover, it was very likely that the methods that the Qin army had mastered

nwould be difficult for other countries to replicate.

nOtherwise, a human could communicate with the spirit beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

nHow could the Six Nations have always regarded the Hundred Thousand Mountains as a forbidden zone for humans?

nTherefore, most of the officials felt that Li Yueming must have started to become arrogant because of his achievements.

nHe didn’t think that the plan he provided would really succeed.

nThe Qin army had prepared for so long and used so many resources to make this happen.

nEven they felt helpless.

nIf they were easily dealt with by a teenager like Li Yueming, what face would they have?

nHowever, since the best plan had already been reported.

nThen the Imperial Court would definitely not give up.

nAfter all, this was indeed the best solution. If it could succeed, not only would they be able to resolve the crisis in the north in time, but they would also be able to take this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Qin army.

nAnd the cost of completing this plan was just some insignificant gifts.

nNow, it was up to the emperor.

nIf the emperor really agreed to Right Prime Minister Ge Hong’s suggestion, then the implications were worth pondering.

nIn the court, all the officials ‘gazes were focused on the emperor.

nThe emperor sat upright, the imperial edict above his head covering his expression. After a moment of silence, he said,””Let me consider this matter a little more. You guys should first draft a report on how the Great Zhou should face the threat of the Qin army in the north!”

nIt was clear that the emperor knew the pros and cons of this and did not express his stance. Instead, he let the ministers discuss how the Qin army would deal with the south after opening the northern road.

nAfter all, whether or not he agreed to let Li Yueming go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains would represent the emperor’s attitude towards the Marquis of Southpeak.

nIf the emperor did not have any other thoughts about the Marquis of Southpeak, he naturally would not watch as Li Yueming headed to the danger zone.

nHowever, if the emperor had other thoughts, this would be a good opportunity.

nRight Prime Minister Ge Hong had been so radical just now because he was betting that the emperor had already decided to kill the Marquis of Southern Mountains and the Li family.

nPolitical decision-making and balancing.

nIt was often through some clues that the whole situation would be affected.

nFinally, after the court meeting ended.

nAll the ministers left the court.

nThe emperor left Right Prime Minister Ge Hong alone and said, “”Minister Ge, get the Ministry of War to draft a document and promote Li Yueming to the position of Assistant Minister. Let him be fully responsible for the communication this time…As for the things he needs, you must gather them and send them to him within a month. You must not be careless!” Ge Hong’s expression was somewhat ugly.

nAfter all, he wanted the emperor to make the decision in the beginning.

nAt that time, even if he had to take the blame, the emperor would be there to help him.

nHe was the Right Prime Minister, and the Ministry of War was under his jurisdiction.

nNow that the emperor had asked him to draft a document, he was clearly preparing to push him out as a scapegoat.

nIt would be strange if he could be happy.

nWhen he did not reply, the emperor suddenly said, ‘”‘1 heard that you have a son who failed to enter the Cultivation Academy?”

nHearing this, Ge Hong stood up and nodded respectfully.””Your Majesty, this child’s aptitude is dull. He failed to enter the Cultivation Academy after taking the examination twice.”

nThe emperor smiled and said,” It’s fine, it’s fine. Minister Ge has worked hard for the country. How about this? I’ll let Scholar Qi take your son as his disciple.

nHow about it?””

nGe Hong weighed the situation for a moment before he said, ‘”‘1 thank Your Majesty for your kindness!”

n.0.

nIn the second month, Li Yueming received a commendation from the higher-ups.

nNot only did he promote him to a sixth-grade official, but he was also rewarded with a house.

nAt the same time, along with the imperial edict came the military transport wagons.

nThe car had already brought all the gifts that Li Yueming needed to go to the snow mountain.

nSeeing this situation.

nAlthough Li Yueming looked friendly on the surface.

nHowever, in reality, the alarm bells had already rung in his heart.

nObviously, the reason why he deliberately made You Aotian famous was that he had recommended himself.

nOther than this, no one else could do it.

nMore importantly, he wanted to test the emperor’s attitude towards him and the Li family.

nThe official edict was written vaguely from beginning to end.

nIt was obvious that the Bureau of Military Personnel did not want to bear this responsibility.

nHowever, since the things had been delivered, the higher-ups did not send anyone else to replace Li Yueming.

nThe meaning was obvious.

nHowever, this was quite good.

nHe wasn’t afraid that the emperor wouldn’t have any ideas about him, but he was afraid that the emperor’s attitude was ambiguous.

nAfter all, it was most dangerous when he could not figure it out.

nNow that the emperor was the first to be unkind, then don’t blame Li Yueming for being unrighteous!
