System: [Hey, this guy is quite interesting, he is actually a disguised one. Ah Ruan, do you know who he really is? ]

Everyone:! ! !

What?! Someone could actually go to court in disguise?!

The court officials from the Ministry of War instantly took a few steps closer.

Yuanruan: [Hiss, who is it? ]

System: [He is the second prince of the Xiongnu.]

Everyone:? ? ?

What?! The second prince of the Xiongnu? Isn't he a partner of the crown prince?

The court officials all looked at the prince, only to find that his expression was even more confused than theirs, and he even asked, "Who is this?"

Yuan Ruan: [Ah? The second prince of the Xiongnu? Wait, isn't my nephew cooperating with him? He disguised himself so well? Didn't my nephew see through it? What did he want to do by hiding his identity? To assassinate someone?]

System: [Stop, stop, stop! Ah Ruan, wait, I will answer them one by one. First of all, the second prince of the Xiongnu has a gene of atavism. His mother was worried that the Chanyu would think she was cheating on him, so she dyed his hair black and made his skin yellow.]

Yuanruan: [Huh? People could dye their hair in ancient times? ]

System: [Yes, otherwise why do you think his hairline is so high? He dyed it too much, so he is bald. Okay, I will continue.]

The courtiers' eyes unconsciously drifted to the sparse blond man's head.

The blond man protected his head sensitively, paused, and put on his hat silently.

The system continued: [Because he has been disguised since he was a child, he is sensitive and suspicious. When he did business with your nephew, he arranged a substitute, so your nephew didn't find out. This time, when the Chen Kingdom and the Xiongnu prince jointly went to war, he washed off his disguise and was active outside with a new identity. Seeing that the Xiongnu and the Chen Kingdom were retreating step by step, he came here this time to get some benefits for nothing. ]

Yuanruan: [What do you mean by getting something for nothing? ]

Courtiers: !!!

Wait, let's put the other news aside for a bit, can you tell me in detail about the battle between the Xiongnu and the State of Chen? !

Unfortunately, neither the system nor Yuanruan can hear their voices.

The system continued: [This time, he came to see you as a merchant from Dayuezhi, and was ready to make a big promise to you, brother, and wanted to ask your brother to use the army to escort him back and forth to Dayuezhi for business. As for the money he sent over, well, it was all the donation that your nephew had given him before.]

The prince took a deep breath and looked strange.

The other court officials glared at each other: These barbarians from the grassland are so rude. How can they do this? They are not worthy of the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Yuanruan: [If this guy were in the 21st century, he would be very suitable for playing finance. Expose him! ]

The system suddenly laughed: [I will expose it. But Ah Ruan, this second prince can't beat your eldest nephew at all. ]

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the prince.

Yuanruan's voice was almost raised, very interested: [Oh! Tell me about your nephew's great achievements. ]

System: [For example, the route of the Silk Road, haha, was actually recommended to the Second Prince by someone your nephew had planted next to him. He kept saying how powerful the Great Yuezhi was and how they could protect the Xiongnu. In fact, your nephew had already sent people to investigate. The Great Yuezhi now had money but few troops, but on the way from Daxia to Daxia, there were several small countries that particularly liked to block the road and rob people. Your nephew wanted the Second Prince to explore the way for Daxia and clear the obstacles. Anyway, the Xiongnu could not defeat Daxia. This trick of "driving away the wolf to devour the tiger" and "borrowing chickens to lay eggs" was really well used. Your nephew is very cunning.]

Yuan Ruan immediately defended the prince: [Tong'er, this is not cunning! This is intelligence. Attack the enemy with your enemy, understand! Wow, my nephew is so amazing, he might be able to create a Silk Road that will be remembered for generations, he is very far-sighted! ]

The emperor narrowed his eyes. The Silk Road? How could a merchant route that traded with the Western Regions receive such high praise?

System: [… Ah Ruan, this is double standard. ]

Yuanruan: [Hmm? How am I being hypocritical? No matter what, what my nephew gave to the second prince of the Xiongnu is a real benefit!]

The prince was serious. Yes, he did give benefits.

At this time, the expression on the emperor's face was slightly strange.

System: [Ahem. Your nephew did give you the things honestly, but they were not obtained legitimately.]

Yuanruan: [Ah?]

The court officials were also curious, wondering how could he have such an illegitimate background?

System: [Before your brother met you, wasn't he leading the army on a tour? He happened to encounter a robbery by mountain bandits. After your brother ordered people to rescue the merchant, he found out that the merchant was not from Dasha but from Xiongnu, and was a confidant of the Xiongnu prince, responsible for transporting the sponsorship money given to the Xiongnu prince by Chen and Shu. Your brother robbed the bandits without saying a word. Then, you asked your nephew to take part of the money to Xiongnu and use it to help the second prince establish connections.]

All the civil and military officials in the court: ...Pfft.

Yuanruan sighed: [Brother is so smart. There is a saying, "If we don't have guns and cannons, the enemy will make them for us..."]

The whole court looked at Yuan Ruan in agreement: "We can borrow arrows from straw boats. If we don't have guns or cannons, the enemy will build them for us. That's right! It's absolutely right."

The system was shocked: [Aruan, what is the difference between your brother's behavior and that of the second prince of the Xiongnu? ]

Yuan Ruan: [Of course. My brother's spoils of war are of course at his disposal. The Second Prince received a gift from the master family and gave it back to the master family. The nature of the gift is completely different.]

System: [……6]

Yuanruan: [Hey, is there any other wise and powerful operation by my brother and nephew? ]

System: [No. Ah Ruan, do you still want to expose him? How do you plan to expose him? ]

Yuanruan did not answer.

She simply stretched out her little finger, gestured at the blond man, then closed her eyes and silently chanted a spell.

Suddenly, she made a heart shape with her hands, and lightning exploded above the blond man's head.

Yuan Ruan suddenly opened his eyes, pointed at the man and said, "Father!"

The emperor and the prince looked over very cooperatively.

Just as Yuan Ruan was about to say something mysterious, the second Xiongnu prince suddenly asked tremblingly: "This, is this Daxia, Daxia's national teacher?"

The courtiers nodded.

The second Xiongnu prince suddenly cried: "Shouldn't the national teacher be at the frontline casting spells to bless the soldiers of Daxia? Who would have thought that the national teacher would have such great power and be able to cast spells remotely from a thousand miles away?"

Yuanruan was stunned. What happened? He suddenly praised her?!

She won't be merciful because of this!

Thinking of this, Yuanruan moved his hand, which was about to shock the other person, a little further away.

The next second, Yuan Ruan saw the other party kneel down with a thud, and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I am the one who did not recognize the great man. I am guilty. I hope you will not curse me..."

Then he recounted his plan in a rush, and finally did some deep self-reflection, hoping that the young imperial teacher would give him a chance to start over.

The emperor, who was about to signal the crown prince to take the blame, said: …

The court officials who were just about to watch the prince's performance: ...

The prince, who was just thinking about how to cleverly take the blame: ...

Yuanruan was choked back at the thought: […Tong'er, look at this self-destructing man, what's wrong with him? Is he drunk?]

System: [Don't worry, look at me, the melon is coming! ]

The courtiers also pricked up their ears in curiosity.
