Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"Do you want to unite with the Western Barbarians and destroy Zhugu?"

Emperor Kangping asked.

Pei Jin: ...

Shu Jiao: ...

I can't lead you, I can't lead you. When you should be brave, you are afraid of tigers and wolves. When you should be timid, you are more reckless than anyone else.

If you don’t lose, who will lose?

"Father."

Pei Jin's voice was weak, "This is absolutely impossible. Zhugu is not a small country, and the king and generals of Zhugu are not weak and easy to bully. In addition, Zhugu is now in a period of strong military strength."

"Yuan Zhen and the Western Barbarians want to destroy the country of Zhugu, but it will be difficult to succeed."

Wouldn't it be better for them to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the two tigers?

Why bother getting involved!

By then, they will not be able to gain any advantage, but will suffer losses in soldiers and generals, and their strength will be greatly reduced. Instead, they will be targeted by the two jackals Yuan Zhen and Xi Man and become their prey. That will be very troublesome.

"But~"

Shu Jiao continued, "We can send envoys to the Western Barbarians and promise to let them pass through Xiangcheng to fight Zhugu."

Emperor Kangping frowned, "But what if the Western Barbarians defeat Zhugu and seize Xiangcheng along the way..."

Shu Jiao: "So we have to go to Daxu first."

"Correct."

Pei Jin agreed.

Dayu is just outside Xiangcheng, and is actually only separated from Xiangcheng by a river.

The country of Daxu is small and not strong.

But as long as Xin State and Dayu help each other and attack from both sides, the Western Barbarians will not dare to occupy Xiangcheng by force and can only "borrow the passage".

On this issue, Shu Jiao and Pei Jin had the same train of thought.

Of course, Emperor Kangping quickly responded, "Prince, which minister do you think is more suitable to be the envoy?"

Pei Jin began to think——

Who is more suitable for this job?

Catch two unlucky guys from the Honglu Temple?

"emperor."

Shu Jiao lifted up her skirt, knelt on the spot, and asked in a deep voice, "I am willing to go."

If I call you Emperor, we will no longer be uncle and nephew, but monarch and subject.

I call myself "minister" because I hope you won't treat me as a child. I'm talking about serious state affairs, which should not be taken as a joke.

Seeing the unprecedented seriousness on the face of the young girl in front of him, Emperor Kangping, who originally wanted to laugh, gradually lost the joking look on his face.

After a while, Emperor Kang Ping took a deep breath and asked, "How old are you?"

"Since ancient times, heroes have not been judged by their age. In the past, there were people who became prime ministers at the age of twelve, people who passed the imperial examinations at the age of eleven, and people whose talents spread all over the world at the age of nine. I am thirteen, so why can't I be an envoy?"

Shu Jiao was full of confidence, "Just now, Envoy Zhu Gu pressed the issue aggressively, and you also saw the reactions of the officials of the Honglu Temple."

If you dare to steal her highlight moment, you should be impressed first!

"How can they compare to my minister?"

Another wave of demotion.

"What's more, I am a royal relative. This matter is of great importance and the opportunity is fleeting. When necessary, I can make decisions on my own. Do they dare to do so?"

Let’s do another round of drag and drop.

Emperor Kangping: ...

Speaking of being smart, indeed, from what happened today, we can see that Duan Yang has a pretty good brain.

But he was worried!

But when he looked at Shu Jiao's stubborn face again, Emperor Kang Ping's words of refusal were stuck in his neck, and he could only wink at Pei Jin frequently.

Pei Jin: ...

I am the prince, not here to take the blame for you.

But Pei Jin hurriedly helped Shu Jiao up and sighed, "Cousin, you are weak. This long journey is full of dangers. How can we and your aunt rest assured?"

"What's more, you are the only blood of my aunt and Duke Wei. If something happens, how can we explain to my aunt? How can we be worthy of the Duke Wei who died fighting for Xin State?"

"My father and brother both died heroically. If I retreat, wouldn't that bring disgrace upon the Duke of Wei's mansion?"

Shu Jiao retorted, and began to flatter him again, "Uncle, cousin the Crown Prince, at today's palace banquet, except for those military generals who had fought in the battlefield, the rest of the officials were all spineless!"

"It is hard to believe that the officials of my country are such people!"

"Can you be assured of sending them to Ximan and Daxu? I'm afraid they will become traitors if threatened once or twice."

"I am lazy by nature. I just want to be an ordinary girl, enjoy the support of the people, live a life of luxury and comfort. But today's marriage really makes me feel terrified and uneasy."

What she said was really harsh.

Emperor Kangping was a little angry when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that she was right.

Only the truth can break people's defenses.

Pei Jin pursed her lips and looked at Emperor Kangping. After a while, she responded, "My cousin is really smart and brave. Father is kind, but those officials are pushing their feet. Father has long wanted to discipline them."

Have it?

Emperor Kangping raised a question.

Pei Jin lowered her eyes and didn't make eye contact with him——

It's up to you.

Your niece, who is only thirteen years old and wants to enjoy a life of wealth and glory, can't stand it anymore and explodes. I wonder if you can still pretend that you don't know anything and not deal with those damn bastards.

Emperor Kangping could no longer sit still, and he nodded helplessly, "Jiaojiao, don't worry, I will definitely punish them."

"Your son is willing to share your father's worries."

Pei Jin immediately took up the conversation.

He was also afraid that Emperor Kangping would be forced to say these words now, and then pretend he had never said them after a good night's sleep.

He had long been fed up with those people standing in the court who were content with their positions, greedy for power, and bullying others by taking advantage of their position, and had wanted to deal with them, but Emperor Kangping did not move, and he, as a prince, could not get past Emperor Kangping.

Finally he got the chance.

Just as I was thinking, I heard a devil whisper in my ear, "Cousin, help me, or I will cause trouble."

Pei Jin: ...

"I just saved Princess Ning'an."

Pei Jin: ...

"I won't say you helped, I'll just say it was my uncle who agreed."

Pei Jin: ...

He turned his head and saw Shu Jiao standing beside him with her head down, looking honest and obedient.

Pei Jin's mouth twitched, but seeing that she was really determined, he thought carefully and said, "Father, why don't you let my cousin go? Send Zhang You and Chu Huaiwu, and a team of guards to accompany her."

His cousin is a very smart person. She must go out, so she doesn't want to do anything, does she?

Under the double deception of Shu Jiao and Pei Jin, Emperor Kangping finally failed to hold on to the end and agreed to let Shu Jiao lead the delegation, and set off ten days later.

"Cousin, if my aunt knew that you and I were in cahoots about this, she would definitely skin me alive."

On the way out of the palace, Pei Jin said helplessly.

"It was my uncle who gave the nod. What does it have to do with you?"

Shu Jiao responded and said, "Cousin, Xin State may seem stable at the moment, but it is actually in danger. It is at the critical moment of life and death. You cannot save Xin State by being lenient."

"I am on a diplomatic mission abroad, and I can do everything I can to buy time for Xin State. But if the court doesn't change together, I'm afraid..."

She didn't finish the rest of the sentence.

But Pei Jin understood.

He didn't say much on the way out of the palace.

When he was almost at the palace gate, he sighed and said, "It's difficult."

Xin State fell at the hands of the incompetent Emperor Kangping, and also fell due to the lack of generals, factional struggles, and official corruption...

How difficult is it to change?

Shu Jiao stopped, looked up at Pei Jin, and asked, "If it's difficult, then we won't do it?"

"Cousin Prince, are you trying to pretend to be confused and kill a few of the offenders to get the matter over with?"
