Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

"Princess, after today's morning court meeting, I heard the news that the emperor sent the fifth prince and the Ministry of Rites to receive the Liang State envoy!"

After hearing Lan Yin's report, Jiang Li nodded calmly, "Yes, I understand."

Lan Yin was stunned, "Princess, you are not surprised at all...could you have guessed it a long time ago?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly, "Didn't we go to Jiang's house last time we left the palace?"

"Before leaving, I temporarily asked Uncle Wang to help me deliver a letter to Lin Qiyuan."

Lan Yin was surprised, "When? Why didn't I notice?"

"Of course I said it in private. I can't confess this in front of so many people, right?"

"That's right... Mr. Lin, I remember that he is now a member of the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette. Is this what the princess told you in your letter?"

Jiang Li nodded, "Yes, there are four princes in the other side's mission this time. It would be too lazy if we only have officials from the Ministry of Rites come forward. We should have a prince come forward to accompany us."

"However, the Liang Kingdom and our Qing Kingdom have always had a hostile relationship. Even if they are temporarily harmonious, it is only superficial."

"This time the Fourth Prince, the God of War, came to celebrate his birthday, which is somewhat like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a rooster. At this juncture, no prince would be willing to come forward."

"As for the emperor, he is not willing to let the princes he is optimistic about get involved. If someone asks the emperor to use Qin Jue at this time, do you think the emperor will agree immediately?"

"What's more, the emperor is currently in the observation stage for Qin Jue. He won't be asked to do anything and can't see anything. The reception of the envoy is just right. He has no reason to refuse."

Lan Yin suddenly said, "So, by asking Master Lin to make this proposal, you are talking about the emperor's heart. It can not only satisfy the emperor, but also achieve your goal?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Actually, even if no one takes the initiative to guide, this matter will probably fall on Qin Jue, but it is not safe enough."

"And Lin Qiyuan helped me last time, and I also need to return a little favor to him. It's really the best of both worlds."

"But you are wrong about one thing. I did not ask Lin Qiyuan to propose it himself, but asked him to give the idea to the Minister of Rites."

Lan Yin understood after thinking about it for a moment, "Master Lin has taken up his new position. It's not good to be too pushy. It's just right to use this matter to please the boss."

Jiang Li deliberately cultivated Lan Yin, so she always took the trouble to explain these things clearly to her.

Fortunately, Lan Yin is a smart person and can tell the truth.

"When will the mission arrive in Beijing?"

"It will be here tomorrow afternoon. Princess, would you like to take this opportunity to meet with the Fifth Prince and give me some advice?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "No need. Although he is allowed to follow this time, no one will let him be responsible for something too important. If there is no big mistake, he should be allowed to practice on his own."

While the two were talking, Lan Yu knocked on the door and came in.

"Princess, Lord Lu Zhanlu wants to see you."

"Lu Zhan?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but still stood up and said, "Okay, let's go out and meet him."

Jiang Li walked out of the door and saw Lu Zhan waiting at the door.

"I've met Princess Evergreen."

Jiang Li had a smile on his face, "You're welcome, Mr. Lu is a rare visitor. What do you want from me?"

Lu Zhan raised his head and glanced at Lan Yin and Lan Yu.

Jiang Li understood what he meant and waved his hand to signal them to go back first.

"Can we talk now?"

After saying that, seeing that Lu Zhan still had a troubled look on his face and didn't speak, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Or... the matter is too important and you need to go to my boudoir alone to have a good chat?"
