The Grand Tutor wants to be the Queen every day and is going crazy

Chapter 19: Going to court to persuade others to stop fighting

The next day.

After Gu Qingluo finished his court session, he left behind several of the more prestigious ministers in the court.

Gu Qingluo went straight to the point and told them about the impending invasion by the barbarian country.

Except for Ji Yanchen, Jun Lingyue, and the old national teacher, everyone else looked at each other, and saw the word "disbelief" in each other's expressions.

It was not difficult for Ji Yanchen to get the news. His information network spread throughout Dafeng City. He would know about the pregnancy of a minister's concubine before her husband did, not to mention the news of a barbarian invasion, which was a matter of national crisis.

The old Prime Minister Liu Fujin expressed his doubts and said, "Your Majesty, the Barbarian Kingdom had already sought peace with Dafeng City five years ago and paid a compensation of one million gold. They must pay tribute to our country every year. More importantly, the Barbarian Kingdom does not have enough troops to attack our country. They have no ambitions. In order to avoid the destruction of their country, becoming a vassal state is the only way. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much."

Upon hearing this, the old state teacher snorted and refuted him, "Dafeng City is now facing internal and external troubles. Prime Minister Liu only sees the simple folk customs of Fengcheng on the surface. In fact, it has been riddled with holes behind the scenes. The ministers are corrupt and accept bribes, and treacherous officials control the court. Although the emperor is ruling the country with benevolence, Dafeng City is now short of troops and the people are not united. If a war breaks out, Dafeng City will be in danger and will definitely perish!"

"Prime Minister Liu, you have no worries about food and clothing, so it is normal that you don't know that the country is about to perish."

"You're old, and have the potential to be a traitor." After saying that, he did not forget to look at Ji Yanchen and Jun Lingyue with disgust.

Bah, as long as there are treacherous ministers, Dafeng City will never be peaceful.

The treacherous ministers that the old national teacher mentioned are Ji Yanchen and Jun Lingyue. Apart from these two treacherous ministers, who else can be called a treacherous minister?

Prime Minister Liu was already old, and he almost couldn't breathe after hearing what the old national teacher said. His eyes rolled out and he almost fainted. He took a breath and defended himself.

"Old Imperial Master, when the late emperor was alive, I, Liu Fujin, was famous for my outspoken admonitions. Throughout my life, I pursued loyalty and courage tirelessly, and had a profound understanding of power and wisdom. When I was assisting the late emperor, he regarded me as a model of a loyal minister and a role model of an admonitory minister, and I was deeply appreciated by him. How could I, old Imperial Master, become a complete traitor who does not love the people or the country?"

"Humph, if you care about Dafeng City, you wouldn't say that the Barbarian Country has no wolfish ambitions. If you always pay attention to the peace of Dafeng City, you wouldn't think that the Barbarian Country is still willing to be a vassal state. You are really ridiculous."

"As time goes by, the Barbarian Kingdom's ambition to no longer be a vassal state becomes stronger and stronger. It even wants to annex Fengcheng and become the king! You, an old man, still naively believe that the Barbarian Kingdom has no ambitions."

Prime Minister Liu and the old state teacher had an argument. The other ministers did not dare to say a word. The entire Mingde Hall was filled with the sounds of the two quarreling.

Very annoying.

At this moment, Gu Qingluo felt as if a group of mosquitoes were buzzing in his ears.

As she listened to them quarreling, she thought: [Let them quarrel, as much as they want, the court is already so corrupt, let’s just open the city gates and let the barbarians attack, and we will all die together.]

[At worst, we can all die together and say goodbye to this world together. ]

who is it?

Who is speaking?

The old national teacher felt a little panicked. He looked at the others and saw that they didn't say anything. Instead, they just stared at the show with wide eyes.

[Why did this old state teacher suddenly stop arguing? Prime Minister Liu is still waiting for his next words! ]

At this moment, the old national teacher turned his gaze to Gu Qingluo's face with horror, his heart in turmoil.

This voice belongs to the emperor!

The emperor didn't say anything, so how could he hear her voice?

Could he hear the emperor's thoughts?

[Old Master, did you see a ghost? His eyes are bigger than lanterns, very scary.]

After Gu Qingluo said this, the old imperial teacher was even more certain that he could hear the emperor's thoughts.

After being surprised for a few seconds, the old national teacher gladly accepted this miraculous encounter.

There are all kinds of strange things in the world. Some people can see ghosts, and it is normal that he can hear people's voices.

Prime Minister Liu stamped his feet in anger, looking at the old national teacher pointing at him with glaring eyes: "Old national teacher, I am just expressing my opinion, why do you have to say something hurtful?"

"I firmly believe that the Barbarians will never have the guts to invade Dafeng City. They will only submit to us."

The old imperial teacher was so angry that he was shaking and yelled at him: "Prime Minister Liu, don't you understand that it's not the outside of our dynasty that is rotten, it's the inside that is rotten."

Gu Qingluo yawned repeatedly while listening to their argument. She looked at Ji Yanchen and Jun Lingyue and saw that they were standing straight, as if their quarrel had no effect on them.

[Damn it, why are you arguing? You are old and still arguing. You have nothing to do, right? What if they die here? Will I still have my Mingde Hall? When I cover myself with the quilt at night, it is a terrifying thought to think that two old men died here in a quarrel! ]

【Alas! Destroy it! Let everything be destroyed! Let's get down to business together! Because if we continue like this, once the country's borders are breached, then there is only one way to go, death, waiting for us! By then, the wealth accumulated by your ancestors will be plundered by those brutal and ruthless barbarian invaders, and your wives, children and elders will be forcibly abducted by them, and live a miserable life from then on. They may be forced to become slaves of the barbarians, working all day long and being driven like cattle and horses; or worse, they will be sold to foreign countries and become toys for people's entertainment, unable to gain freedom for their entire lives, forever trapped in that stinking, dirty thatched hut, living a life worse than that of pigs and dogs. Perhaps for them, being able to survive has become a luxury. This is the ending revealed by the system! If we fail to wake up and take action in time, then this ending that could have been changed will really become an irreversible dead end! 】

As he thought about it, Gu Qingluo looked at everyone with compassion in his eyes, but they didn't know the ending. Only Ji Yanchen and the old national teacher knew.

The old imperial teacher was sweating profusely after hearing this. He did not dare to argue with Prime Minister Liu anymore. He slowed down his voice and said, "Prime Minister Liu, let's just trust the emperor for once. His Majesty is no longer the incompetent emperor he used to be. Now he is the emperor who can lead Dafeng City to unify the world!"

There should be no more arguing. If the fate of the country is really ruined by arguing, he would be the sinner.

[Ahem, keep a low profile, keep a low profile, okay, although I am very awesome, I still need to be a little humble. ]

[This old national teacher is flexible and resilient, and is indeed a loyal subject to me! ]

When the old imperial teacher learned that he was recognized by the emperor, he was very happy and looked at Prime Minister Liu with much more favor.

Prime Minister Liu is a bit stupid, please be considerate of him.

"Are you done arguing? Come on, who wants to argue more? Keep going. I'm listening."

"Your Majesty, I admit my mistake." The old imperial teacher and Prime Minister Liu lowered their heads and said in unison.

"Now that the barbarian country is eyeing us covetously, you should work together to find a way to fight back, instead of quarreling with each other."

Old Imperial Master, Prime Minister Liu bowed with guilt and said, "This old minister is guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Lord Ji and Prince Ling, do you have any suggestions?"

Ji Yanchen smiled, his eyebrows raised, his face elegant and charming, his tightly pursed lips revealed a faint smile as he replied: "Your Majesty, I have no suggestions, I only listen to your suggestions."

"As long as the methods your majesty comes up with are good ones, I will also implement your majesty's methods."

Gu Qingluo raised his eyebrows and thought, "This ghost thing, has he already thought of a solution, but doesn't want to share it, and just let Dafeng City destroy the country? No, destroying the country will not benefit him, unless he really has no idea and his brain is not working well. 】

Ji Yanchen slightly pulled the corner of his lips, so faintly that it was invisible.

"Lord Ji has no solution, but do you, the Regent, have any solution?"

Jun Lingyue's face was gloomy, and he looked at Gu Qingluo with cold eyes. He gently opened his thin lips and said, "Your Majesty, I do have a way to help Fengcheng overcome the difficulties."

This aroused Gu Qingluo's interest, and she said, "The Regent can tell everyone about it."

Jun Lingyue looked at Ji Yanchen with no emotion in his eyes, but his pupils were dark and heavy, and he said slowly: "I heard that Lord Ji has a good friend, General Bian Jingyan, who is highly skilled in martial arts and brave. This time, you can let him lead the troops to meet the enemy."

"The military strength of the Barbarian Kingdom is definitely smaller than that of Dafeng City. If the young general leads the army to fight, he will surely defeat the Barbarian Kingdom and return victorious.

Gu Qingluo was stunned: [Shit, he also thought of Bian Jingyan, a man of great talent, brave and good at fighting. He became a general at a young age, and everyone called him "Little General". But in the original book, Bian Jingyan died on the battlefield, and his body was eaten by wild wolves. The original book just mentioned that he died on the battlefield, but did not say how he died. When Jun Lingyue mentioned him, it was not him who suggested to the original owner to send Bian Jingyan to die. Hiss, this cruel man.]

[However, I also need Bian Jingyan, so why not use the same trick against him? I will agree to Jun Lingyue's method and conspire with Bian Jingyan. As long as Bian Jingyan follows my method, I will be able to save his life.]

"I think Prince Ling's proposal is a good one. Do you have any other ideas, my dear ministers?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say..."

“Um… Um… Um… Old Imperial Master, you…”

The old imperial teacher covered Prime Minister Liu's mouth and said helplessly: "Liu Xiang can't stand it anymore, you have to close your mouth."

Gu Qingluo was very satisfied with the old national teacher's approach. He said something and everyone dispersed. After leaving these words, Ji Aiqing sat on a high seat and drank tea.

Prime Minister Liu was dragged out by the old national teacher while covering his mouth.

Liu Xiang could only whine and whine, but it did not help.

Jun Lingyue also left, leaving Ji Yanchen alone in the hall.

Gu Qingluo moistened his throat and said, "Lord Ji, I need your help."
