After her death, the emperors of the seven kingdoms all went mad

Chapter 9 What you see is not always true, and what you hear is not always true

All the ministers were talking at once and criticizing Lan Zhi.

"How can such a tyrannical person be a minister chosen by God?"

"In my opinion, what the Imperial Master said is not entirely correct."

"Hush, don't talk nonsense. The national master must have his reasons. The national masters of other countries also said the same thing."

"Sir Li, how did he deceive you? I will report him to His Majesty."

Li Zongbao waved his hands and said, "I'm fine, it's okay..."

"Master Li, we don't have to be afraid of her."

"Blue weave!"

A voice full of anger rang out from the palace gate.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and when they saw the person coming, they all knelt down.

"See Your Majesty!"

Lan Zhi glanced at Meng Beixiao who was standing outside the hall door, and knelt down reluctantly.

How did he come out of the temple? What a coincidence.

[Favourability -1, Meng Beixiao's favourability towards the host is currently -6. ]

Lan Zhi:.......

Meng Beixiao looked at Lan Zhi gloomily.

It turns out that there is no peace where he is.

It's bad enough that he usually makes trouble in the palace, but he actually comes to the court to cause trouble.

He naturally didn't believe that whoever controls the Lan family would control the world.

If so, she is his sister.

The reason why Lan Zhi was allowed to stay was to stop the gossips of the people. The people believed in the words of the national teacher without a doubt, and they only believed in the chosen one.

Therefore, if he could unify the seven kingdoms in the future, Lan Zhi would be the best reason to follow the will of heaven, and the people of other kingdoms would naturally be more loyal to him.

But that doesn't mean he will tolerate her.

"Prime Minister Lan insulted an important official and is punished by kneeling here and thinking for two hours."

Meng Beixiao said this and looked at the ministers coldly: "Don't you have to attend the morning court? Are you all standing here waiting for the court to end?"

Having said that, he turned and walked into the hall.

Seeing this, Lan Zhi shouted loudly: "I refuse to accept the crime of bullying and humiliation. I do not admit it."

Meng Beixiao stopped and turned around to glare at her coldly: "What? You dare not take responsibility for what you did?"

"What you see is not always true, and what you hear is not always true. Moreover, Your Majesty has not seen, heard, or asked, so how can you judge my mistakes?"

Lan Zhi was neither humble nor arrogant, a change from her usual easy-going and lazy image, and she looked cool and noble.

With this new outfit, she looks even more handsome.

As an actor, your image will be determined by the role you play.

Meng Beixiao was slightly stunned.

I always feel that Lan Zhi is a little different today.

Is it true that he was wronged?

Soon, Meng Beixiao gave up this idea.

This is just his Lanzhi drama.

However, it is not impossible to give him a chance to explain.

"So, I have wronged you?"

"Your Majesty, I was trying to help Lord Li up, but the ground was too slippery, so I fell and accidentally kicked Lord Li in the face. Then we both slid down, it was that simple."

"Minister Li, is what Prime Minister Lan said true?"

Li Zongbao stepped forward, glanced at Lan Zhi, and then bowed to Meng Beixiao and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether Prime Minister Lan wants to help me get up, but I was indeed taken down by Prime Minister Lan."

After hearing what Li Zongbao said, Lan Zhi was almost angry to death.

By deliberately saying something so vague at this time, isn't it just saying that she was guessing it on purpose?

Very good, it turns out that you are just a smiling tiger, who is here to trick me, right?

He was smiling before, but I'm afraid he was just trying to flatter me.

Lan Zhi pretended to be furious and looked at Li Zongbao: "Sir Li, although I am a little bit out of tune at ordinary times, it is all to attract the attention of Your Majesty. I have no grudge against you, why would I carry you?"

When Meng Beixiao heard Lan Zhi say that she wanted to get his attention, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Lan Zhi naturally didn't notice it, she continued: "It was you who said that we had to go to court in this awful weather, if it was me, I would have been lying in the house a long time ago.

"Then you rubbed the ground for me, saying that it was too slippery and that the sweeper didn't sweep it properly, and you fell down. I was just trying to help you up out of kindness."

When the servant who was sweeping the floor heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, spare my life."

Before Meng Beixiao could say anything, Lan said quickly, "You can't be blamed for this. The snow fell right after we swept it. Who could sweep it so cleanly? Lord Li was just complaining about the weather because he had to go to court. I understand."

"Slander! It's total slander. I never said anything like that. Your Majesty, I am innocent. Please understand my mistake."

Meng Beixiao looked at the servants who were cleaning: "Did you hear what they said?"

A servant quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I didn't hear what they said, but I did see Lord Li skating there, and he fell down by himself.

"Then Lord Lan Xiang walked towards Lord Li, and he also fell, and then the two of them slid down."

Meng Beixiao was silent for a few breaths, then said coldly: "Fine Minister Li a year's salary and make him copy the Chengde Sutra a hundred times."

After Meng Beixiao finished speaking, he walked towards the main hall.

"Your Majesty, I......"

Li Zongbao looked at Meng Beixiao's back with a wronged look on his face, and wanted to say something but got stuck in his throat.

He looked at Lan Zhi, only to see Lan Zhi giving him a subtle smug smile. Then she walked up the stairs and headed into the hall.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed and entered the hall.

At this time, Li Zongbao regretted it very much.

He thought that His Majesty hated Lan Zhi, and that he would win His Majesty's favor by doing this, but he didn't expect to be bitten back by Lan Zhi.

It seems that Lan Zhi is not a fool as rumored.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat tense.

The eunuch standing next to Meng Beixiao shouted at the top of his lungs: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."

"I have something to report."

"explain."

The Minister of War came forward to make a report, and then the ministers began to discuss it heatedly.

It was Lan Zhi's first day in court. She came here just to show her face and just stand there quietly as a mascot.

"Is there any more music?"

"I have something to report."

Minister of Revenue Zhang Donglai stepped out from the crowd.

“Your Majesty, since Mexico blocked the trade routes, our country has been short of food in winter, and vegetables from the south cannot be imported. Although it has been a while since the beginning of spring, the weather is cold and it is difficult to farm. Many people have very little cabbage left in their cellars.

"In two months, there will be famine. People are snatching food in some places."

When a military officer heard this, he immediately became furious: "Mo State wants to cut off the trade between Meng State and Qiao State, but we won't follow their wishes. At worst, we can use water transport to bring back vegetables from the south."

"Master Wu, although shipping these vegetables by water will reduce costs, it takes too long and they will all rot before they arrive."

"How could it rot? If we put it in the cellar, it will last a long time."

"It's hot in the south, I can't keep it."

"If we transport some ice from here, then the vegetables can be transported back."

"When you get to the south, all the ice melts away."

"Tsk! What a hassle."

Seeing that Lan Zhi was silent, Li Zongbao deliberately raised his voice and said, "Maybe Prime Minister Lan has a solution. After all, Prime Minister Lan is from the south."

After he finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Lan Zhi.
