After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

System: [There are even more outrageous unofficial histories. It is said that this man actually completely betrayed the country. But because the queen had an affair with him, the queen forced the credit of other generals for recovering the land to this general. As for why he did not appear later, it is not that he really died, but that he entered the palace under an assumed name and became a male favorite accompanying the queen.]

Yuanruan: [Ah?! Wait, the Queen is also recorded in history books as having a male lover? Who is it?!]

The emperor closed his eyes: ...

Prime Minister Li and the Minister of War were both terrified. They silently said in their hearts, "Oh, this historian must not write names randomly! He must not use the names of his own sons and nephews! If His Majesty gets angry, it will be a disaster!"

System: [Official history doesn't say it, but there are many unofficial histories. Basically, all the male officials she used had rumors. Hahaha, in the later generations of the previous thread, there are still many netizens who like to pair up CP fans with the empress. One group holds high the banner of "all empresses". Anyway, no matter what official, as long as he is a man and looks handsome, they will be taken in! ]

Everyone's pupils trembled:!!!

What? All, all?!

Yuanruan was not surprised to hear this: [I understand. The history circle is very fierce. All fans and Dumei fans will definitely fight. I guess all empress fans and empress general attack all fans will probably fight. It's... quite normal. ]

System: [Hahaha, right, right, right. Ah Ruan, there are also fans who changed the empress's gender. They said that the empress was a hermaphrodite, so she dared to declare herself the empress despite the world's disapproval. Her so-called retirement was actually because her hermaphrodite identity was discovered, and the royal family wanted to conceal this scandal...]

The Emperor and his party: !!!

The system also told a lot of outrageous stories.

Because of this large piece of outrageous wild history.

When the Minister of War was introducing the sand table, he got the name of the town wrong twice. Fortunately, Yuan Ruan was not familiar with the border area and did not hear it wrong.

The expressions of the people who listened to the wild history changed from pupils shaking, to pupils dilating, to eyes closing, and finally to relief on their faces. They were all relieved.

——People in later generations are quite wild.

……

After a while, Yuanruan and the system stopped gossiping.

Yuan Ruan suddenly asked: [Come to think of it, I still don’t know who this young general of the Li family is, the last general star of Daxia? ]

Prime Minister Li calmly watched the show, because he thought it was not his son anyway.

The Minister of War was a little nervous for his colleague. After all, this person's way of standing out was very curious. He only hoped that Your Majesty would continue to value talent more.

System: [You have seen it. ]

Yuanruan was puzzled: [Who is it? ]

System: [Li Renba.]

Prime Minister Li's heart moved, and he felt vaguely familiar with it. After a while, he almost vomited blood. Wait, how could this be his grandson!

The Minister of War thought the name sounded very familiar. He thought about it carefully, then suddenly turned his head to look at the confused Prime Minister Li. Isn't this Prime Minister Li's third daughter, or wait, fourth daughter... Anyway, isn't it the name of one of the daughters' son?

At that time, because she was going to marry a man with the same surname, this marriage was a big deal. They had to check the family tree and five generations, and it took a long time to get married. So he had a profound impact on the people involved.

Yuanruan: [This name, ah, I remember it now. Is it a slug kid I saw when I lived in the Three Princes' Palace? But wasn't he only five years old? ]

System: [Yes. He is very small now, but he will grow up in the future. He is also the only promising military commander among Li Xiang’s grandsons.]

Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Wait, this is Li Xiang's grandson? As expected, he is Li Banchao. ]

System: [Haha, that’s right. The reputation of being a half-dynasty relative is well-deserved.]

Li Banchao Prime Minister: ...with mixed feelings

……

After that, the system did not continue to release news.

The Minister of War also found his rhythm again and started to brag. He carefully recounted the contributions of Wu Yi, the Lin brothers, and the Shi family.

Finally, the Minister of War concluded: "Your Majesty, the victory achieved by the generals is really great. Even the merchants coming from the northwest are spreading their reputation. So now that we have kept it secret, the people from the Chen State delegation probably know about it."

Prime Minister Li sighed, "What a pity for that money."

Prime Minister Li was talking about the money that the top leaders of the State of Chen wanted to use to help the envoys incite civilians to rebel, so the State of Chen sent the first batch, which accounted for about one-fifth of the total funding.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, then said calmly: "Although it's a little early, it's okay."

Prime Minister Li and the Minister of War were both startled.

"Capture the Chen Kingdom envoys, and at the same time order Wu Yi's army to march across the border and hold Chen Kingdom accountable..." The emperor took a sip of tea slowly, "The Queen Mother was instigated by the Chen Kingdom envoys to commit treason."

Prime Minister Li's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: Right! Good! If we spread the news that "Chen State instigated the Queen Mother of Xia State to commit treason", Xia State's occupation of Chen State's territory will be more justified! After all, it was you who made us do it first, so it is right for us to counterattack and occupy everything in anger.

If the State of Chen wanted to fight, they would definitely not win at the moment, and that would mean they would just give Wu Yi and his men a chance to gain military merit. If the State of Chen gave in and refused to fight, that was fine, they could still extort some money from them.

The more Prime Minister Li thought about it, the more excited he became. Suddenly, he glanced at Yuan Ruan, who was lying cutely in front of the sand table, and sighed in his heart: Your Majesty dares to play such an open conspiracy! It's all because of the confidence created by the national teacher!

The Minister of War was so excited that he almost cried for joy: Good, very good, the purpose of his visit to Your Majesty has been achieved. Hehe, Your Majesty can use these words to send the Minister of Revenue, who was waiting at his house to persuade him to save military expenses, back home.

……

The emperor continued to lay out some guidelines.

Prime Minister Li and the Minister of War took out small notebooks to write down the key points. They wrote so well that their hands left traces. Finally, each of them held a large stack of government affairs and left with satisfaction.

Yuan Ruan looked at the backs of the two people as they left happily.

She asked a soul-searching question: "Why are they so happy?"

The emperor and the third prince were confused for a second.

Qi Yue understood what Yuan Ruan was wondering about, but for a moment, she was at a loss for words.

At this time, the system also agreed: [Yes. Your brother has issued an order that all the details of the decree must be written before noon tomorrow. With such a short time and such a large workload, they will definitely have to stay up all night! Why are you still so happy? Aren’t you tired? ]

The emperor and the third prince understood Yuan Ruan’s confusion.

To be honest, the Third Prince didn't quite understand. He was the first to say, "Why are they unhappy? They have been entrusted with important tasks. This is such a good thing."

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched, "Third Prince, you are really the chosen holy body of workers! No, you are the chosen holy body of capitalists."

No wonder you worked so hard on the previous line and almost died from overwork.

Qi Yue thought about it and tentatively replied: "Maybe, they love handling government affairs? Just like I like to bend the bow and shoot the eagle?"

Yuanruan vaguely understood something. It seemed that passion could really make people forget about food and sleep.

The emperor smiled upon seeing this and picked up Yuan Ruan.

What San'er and Qi'er said are both right, but it does not apply to the situation of Prime Minister Li and the Minister of War. These two people are not such purely loyal ministers.

It is not so much that they love government affairs as that they love the rights that come with them.

Of course, there is no need to disturb Xiaojiu with these mundane matters.
