The tyrant is changing the plot madly because of the fake princess's voice

Jiang Yanchuan said quietly, "Prince Jing mentioned in his memorial that Mengzhou has been hit by natural disasters recently and the people are trapped in the city. Have you received any relevant information before?"

Lu Yao smiled confidently and said, "Your Majesty, I have indeed heard of it."

And this news happened neither too early nor too late, less than half a cup of tea ago.

The court officials around him looked at Lu Yao's smug expression with a look of annoyance, and they envied this government office which was usually not well-received.

The Jinyiwei, whose job was to collect evidence, arrest and interrogate, were almost in natural opposition to the court officials. The situation was not improved until a straightforward guy like Lu Yao took over the position of commander.

Can--

The ministers clenched their teeth.

It would be better to remain in opposition.

This kind of scene of watching their friends getting lucky and making great progress is even more painful than killing them!

Facing the envious looks from all sides, Lu Yao spoke loudly, "Such rumors started to circulate in Mengzhou half a month ago."

Having said this, he paused for a moment with malicious intent.

Although he didn't glance in the direction of King Jing, he was always glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.

However, King Jing stood still, not showing any sign of guilt. Lu Yao sighed inwardly and continued, "As soon as I heard the news, I sent people to Mengzhou to investigate the situation."

Jiang Yian, who was standing in front of the court, was indeed not panicked.

Ever since he made this plan, he has been sending people to patrol around Mengzhou to prevent someone from being too cautious and sending people to investigate just because of a piece of news that has not been widely circulated.

Facts have also proved that no one has attempted to enter Mengzhou since the news came out.

Jiang Yian finally turned around at this time, his eyes showing concern: "How is it? Have Lord Lu's people found any information about casualties in the city?"

"No." Lu Yao's expression was solemn.

Jiang Yian sneered in his heart, but his face was full of compassion and sorrow: "To be honest, after receiving the news, I also sent people to investigate the situation, but the only entrance has been blocked by fallen rocks, and my people have not been able to clear a passage yet."

"After a great disaster, there may be a great epidemic," Jiang Yian sighed, "Therefore, I dare not rashly send people to sneak in. I have to go to the capital as soon as possible and report this matter to His Majesty."

Everyone rolled their eyes inwardly.

You sound so righteous, but it's all your own bad deeds!

Lu Yao was also very angry at King Jing's hypocritical attitude.

If the little guy's inner voice had not reminded him first, he might have been frightened by King Jing's words and his legs would have trembled and he would have been flustered.

Once the crime of failing to report the disaster in time, which led to the rampant plague, is proven, I'm afraid even if Lu Yao has eight heads he won't be enough to chop off!

Jiang Yanchuan also spoke up at this time: "Since you already knew about this, why did you hide it and not report it?"

The unconcealable majesty in his voice made the unsuspecting officials shudder subconsciously.

There was no fear on Lu Yao's face: "Your Majesty, my men have entered the city to investigate as soon as they arrived in Mengzhou."

"What I meant by 'no' is that there were no casualties in Mengzhou City."

He raised his head and looked straight at the golden platform. "Everything is peaceful in Mengzhou City. The lives of the people have not been affected too much by the rocks blocking the road. Once the road is opened, the order in Mengzhou can be restored to normal."

Jiang Yian's expression froze, a look of suspicion flashed across his face quickly, and then he returned to calmness.

The people he sent to Mengzhou were all his trusted confidants. He had definite evidence on each of them and they would never betray him easily, but -

As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Lu Yao should not dare to tell such a huge lie in public.

Don't want to die?

"It's just that there is a group of people in Mengzhou City who are acting suspiciously. I have sent people to set up a strict surveillance network. If we find that they have any ill intentions, they will be arrested immediately."

——This is what Lu Yao, who had never heard of anything unusual in Mengzhou before, said.

"That's great," Jiang Yian suppressed his surprise, smiled, and breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as the people in Mengzhou City are safe, I can rest assured."

"The Jinyiwei are so willing to sacrifice their own lives, which is a great fortune for us."

The fingers hidden in his wide sleeves twitched unconsciously twice.

This isn't right.

When he sent people to spread the news, he had clearly instructed that the scope of the spread of the good news must be controlled. This matter should not be known by Lu Yao in advance, so he should not have sent people to investigate back and forth.

unless……

A fierce look flashed across Jiang Yian's eyes.

Unless someone has planted a traitor in his house.

However, this is not the most important thing at the moment. His subordinates had already received his instructions. Once his whereabouts in the capital were discovered, they would immediately send someone to notify the people in Mengzhou and carry out the plan step by step.

Li Cheng should have sent out people last night, and he had to find a way to intercept them as soon as possible.

[Wow——] Jiang Yingcheng clapped his hands unconsciously, [My Uncle Lu was so proactive and farsighted that he nipped all of King Jing's evil plots in the bud!]

【Uncle Lu is simply awesome! 】

Lu Yao quickly lost himself in the praise and puffed out his chest with pride, not caring at all whether he was as far-sighted as the little guy said.

He also ignored the contemptuous looks from his colleagues.

Jealous! They are all jealous!!

[Hehehe, King Jing's men have probably already sent people to notify Mengzhou's men. They must be extremely anxious by now~]

[He must want to quickly dismiss the court so that he can send someone to intercept the order. Cheng Cheng must think of a way to prevent King Jing from passing on the message so quickly! ]

The courtiers who could hear the little guy's thoughts had kind eyes.

If the little princess has to worry about even things like this, then these old guys are really useless.

What's more, there are countless followers of King Jing and the Pan family in this court. It is definitely not enough to just hold back King Jing alone!

Several ministers looked at each other and reached a new consensus in silence.

Tan Wenhan was the first to speak out: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to report!"

"I have seen the disaster in Mengzhou this time and I feel that it would be better if the court set up a patrol team to check for risks in various border towns..."

Tan Wenhan quoted from classics and made extensive citations, bringing out the strengths of a civil official to the fullest, and he seemed almost ready to deliver a ten-thousand-word strategy.

The court officials’ strategy was to delay.

It didn't matter that the excuse he came up with wouldn't last long, because he still had dozens of colleagues ready to go, each brewing their own unique tricks.

The saying "many hands make light work" was embodied in this moment.

Tan Wenhan was filled with pride, as if he was saving the people from disaster.

[Eh? Grandpa Tan seems to be in much better spirits recently! ]

Jiang Yingcheng, who had not paid attention to the other party for a long time, had stars in his eyes: [Grandpa Tan is really amazing. He can write such a well-written paper as soon as he opens his mouth. He is so imposing, as if he can go into battle and kill the enemy right away - I'll go see what Grandpa Tan's second son has been doing recently! ]

The ministers: "..."

The ministers: “???”

How come you still remember that Tan Siyuan? !

Prime Minister Tan will not do anything to you, but he will secretly find out their secrets in order to drag everyone into the same shameful situation!

All of Tan Wenhan's knowledge seemed to be stuck in his throat. The pause was so long that King Jing turned around and glanced at him.

He felt bitter in his heart, and his eyes were full of sadness when he looked at Emperor Mingze.

Work injury! This is a work injury!!
