Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"The capital of Great Zhao will be in chaos because of the snowstorm? Is this another experience from your past life?"

Hearing this, Xie Wenyuan turned his head and looked at him.

"That's right." Chen Yuankai nodded solemnly, tried hard to search his memories of his past life, and said to Xie Wenyuan,

“Your Highness, I was not an official in the capital at the time, so I don’t know the specific circumstances. I just heard that many wealthy families in the capital were attacked by the disaster victims, and many people were killed or injured.

Oh, yes, yes, I remembered another important event. It seems that the Sixth Prince died in the riot of the disaster victims."

"...What the hell!" Xie Wenyuan frowned and said angrily,

"Why didn't you write about this in the big story you wrote before?"

"Your Highness, calm down. My memories of my past life were clearer in the last few years.

In my past life, this snowstorm happened too long ago. I was working in Yangzhou at the time and didn’t experience the events of that year, so I can’t remember clearly…”

"You have never experienced a snowstorm. When a prince dies, the imperial court will certainly let the whole world mourn together. How could you not remember such a big thing?" Xie Wenyuan frowned, still very dissatisfied.

"Your Highness, please calm down! I am not familiar with the Sixth Prince. I only remembered this because of the obituary."

Chen Yuankai was confused by the bullying and felt very wronged. He hurriedly explained,

"Besides, the Chu-Zhao war will happen this autumn, and Prince Su will also die in the war. It seems that Princess Ling Yue and Prince Qi will also die in the war. So many important figures in the royal family have died at once!

The Sixth Prince was an unpopular prince who was not even crowned a king, so he was naturally forgotten."

After hearing these nasty words, Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but swear, "...You know shit!"

The Sixth Prince is the most precious one among them.

These people are just schemers. All they do all day long is talk and have bad intentions. They are of no help to the development of technology.

But their Xiaoliu is a practical man who can invent all kinds of good things and even change the world situation.

Although he had not seen the firearm invented by Xiaoliu with his own eyes, he was fascinated by the description in Xie Jinxin and really wanted to see it immediately.

So, how can the world survive without Xiaoliu!

This was definitely the worst news he had ever heard, even if it was news from his previous life, it still made him a little worried.

However, it is highly likely that nothing will happen to Xiaoliu this time.

However, Xie Jin said before that Xiaoliu often studied explosives and the like, so he should not let this kill himself.

There is even a sense of fatalism, as if one cannot escape the arrangements of fate.

As for the Chu-Zhao War that resulted in the death of several members of their family, Xie Wenyuan said that he would personally take them flying this time.

No matter what you die, let him live.

Chen Yuankai really couldn't understand why His Highness was so irritable. He racked his brains and thought again and again, and then began to belittle Xie Jin.

"Your Highness, this snowstorm will definitely make Xie Jin, the villain, suffer. The Emperor may even blame him for the immorality of the Crown Prince, which led to the snowstorm, and ask him to issue an edict of guilt..."

Xie Wenyuan glanced at him sideways, thinking it was unlikely, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Because of the snowstorm, not only was traffic slightly affected, but Prince Xie Jin and others were also so busy that they forgot to write to Xie Wenyuan as usual.

In the past, I would receive about one letter from Da Zhao every month.

But now, it has been almost a month and a half since the last letter, and Xie Wenyuan has not received any new message.

Therefore, he did not know how the Great Zhao was doing now. How serious was the snowstorm? Would it affect the people's morale? Would it affect the army's morale?

Will there really be chaos in the capital?

After this snowstorm, the State of Chu will certainly become more chaotic. It is estimated that it can only hold out for about half a year. In order to divert domestic conflicts, the Emperor of Chu will take the initiative to launch a war against Zhao in the autumn.

However, if the snowstorm is severe in many parts of Da Zhao, and too much food is wasted in disaster relief, and the spring plowing is delayed, resulting in a poor harvest this summer, the supply of military rations will probably be affected to a certain extent.

However, Xie Wenyuan carefully considered the current situation and national strength of Da Zhao.

A snowstorm should not cause chaos in the capital. Xie Jin should still have this ability.

Just then, a subordinate came back and handed Xie Wenyuan a letter, which happened to be a letter from Da Zhao.

Written by Xie Jin.

Xie Wenyuan quickly opened it and after reading it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There was indeed a snowstorm in Da Zhao, but apart from the loss of some silver and food, there was no unrest at all, and the military supply reserves were not used.

Even according to statistics, only a few hundred victims died, all of whom were elderly or sick.

The court properly resettled the disaster victims, which in turn strengthened the morale of the people and the military.

The letter also mentioned that the Sixth Prince had researched a method to remove impurities from coal, and used the removed coal for iron and steelmaking, which greatly improved the quality of the steel.

After reading the letter, Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but raise his lips, but he muttered quietly,

"With just these few achievements, why are you showing off? This is not what you should do."

Very good, Xiaoliu is fine and is still shining.

"Your Highness, is there any good news?" Chen Yuankai saw that His Highness' mood had improved, so he leaned over and asked.

"What a good thing! According to the intelligence, the snowstorm in Da Zhao did not cause any chaos in the capital. That thief Xie Jin arranged for the victims properly, and not a single person froze to death!"

Xie Wenyuan knocked on his wooden head in annoyance and said fiercely,

"Don't mention past life memories to me anymore. I don't like it! If you dare to say it again, I'll have someone beat you up!"

Every time he heard those memories of his past life, Xie Wenyuan felt that he was a big idiot. He joined forces with the Chen family and made the court a mess with his own efforts.

Then, when compared with what Xie Jin is doing now, it seems that Xie Jin is more capable than him, but only by a little bit.

Huh, angry!

"Ouch! No chaos? How is this possible..."

Chen Yuankai covered his forehead and screamed in pain. He subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he thought of the completely different situation now, he shut up again.

He himself actually doesn't believe in past life memories anymore!!

Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he would often doubt whether those memories of him becoming the Prime Minister, being respected by all officials, and being flattered by countless people were real.

Oh, you’re a liar, you’re all a liar!

"Don't act stupid." Seeing that he was still crying, Xie Wenyuan kicked him again in anger, "Pack up and go to the Prince of Wei's mansion."

Alas, ever since Li Anping followed Xiong Dayong to the border of Chu State and the person around him was replaced by Chen Yuankai, he felt that everything was not convenient to do and his life was not going well.

Chen Yuankai wiped his tears and quickly agreed.

Oh, it’s another day of missing General Manager Li.

After coming to His Highness's side, I finally understood what it meant to live with the emperor like living with a tiger.

If he had known that His Highness was so difficult to serve, he would never have gotten close to him.

Oh, why is his life so miserable this time!

-

Prince Wei's Mansion.

In just one year, the King of Wei was tortured by the pain of losing his son and aged a lot, and he no longer had the arrogance and sharpness he had before.

He spent most of his time this year at home drinking and enjoying himself, and did not even go to the military camp to train soldiers or run horses, and his health was deteriorating.

However, under Xie Wenyuan's careful "care", King Wei continued to dream of becoming the emperor. Moreover, listening to the plan given to him by Xie Wenyuan, King Wei felt that this day was not far away.

Everything went smoothly.

It’s just a pity for his poor prince!

Damn it! The thief hasn’t been caught yet!

When the King of Wei thought of this, his sad memories came to his mind again. He immediately threw the beauty in his arms aside and loudly told her to get out.

The beauty was so frightened that she trembled with fear. She got up from the ground and ran out quickly, fearing that if she was a step late, she would be abused by the King of Wei.

However, she ran out of the door, but did not dare to really leave, for fear that she would not be able to appear in time when the King of Wei summoned her again.

This will only anger the King of Wei further, and the consequence will be 100% abuse.

This kind of thing happened several times. If it weren't for Mr. Xie's advice, those beauties would have been tortured to death by the King of Wei.

When the beauty ran outside, she saw Xie Wenyuan walking towards her. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she immediately bowed and knelt down before him.

Oh, oh, oh, now that Mr. Xie is here, she is no longer afraid, and her life can be saved for the time being!

Xie Wenyuan waved his hand, asking the beauty to leave, and then he pushed the door open and entered the room.

The King of Wei was drinking alone. When he heard the door open, he thought someone looking for death was disturbing him. His brows immediately frowned and his face was full of murderous intent.

However, when he saw that it was Xie Wenyuan who came in, the King of Wei's expression changed in an instant, from a ferocious evil ghost to a gentle and happy little lamb.

"A Yuan is here." The King of Wei smiled and waved at him.

"If you don't come, I will send someone to invite you. I feel uncomfortable and uneasy when I don't see you for a day. Only A Yuan can comfort me."

Xie Wenyuan,...

Fortunately, the King of Wei was not as fond of men as his son, otherwise, for the sake of his own innocence, he would have to find a way to kill the King of Wei in advance instead of keeping him so fat.

"Why are you worried, Your Majesty? Everything is in our plan."

Xie Wenyuan smiled and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said to the King of Wei,

"I just received a letter from General Xiong yesterday. He got a lot of good stuff from the Great Zhao and brought it to the capital to sell. He can sell it for five or six times the price. The prince's money is flowing into his pocket.

With silver, we can raise more soldiers, bribe more people, and build more weapons and armor!

Nowadays, there are more and more ministers and nobles in the court who are loyal to the prince, and the emperor is less and less willing to offend the prince.

The prince did not attend the court every day, nor did he participate in the palace banquets, and the emperor did not reprimand him, always adopting a policy of appeasement. "

After hearing these pleasant words, the King of Wei felt that he would soon be able to enter the palace and sit on the throne. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha...all this is thanks to A Yuan!"

After laughing, the King of Wei patted Xie Wenyuan's shoulder vigorously and made a solemn promise.

"A Yuan, when this is done, I will make you a Duke, make you the Prime Minister, and reward you with thousands of acres of fertile land, gold, silver, treasures, and as many beauties as you want!"

"Thank you, Your Highness! I will work hard for you and devote myself to your cause until my death."

Xie Wenyuan rolled his eyes in his heart, but looked grateful on his face.
