Chapter 1301 Fengshan?

The meeting is over.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Some people have returned to their respective offices to handle affairs, while some people were called by Yun Li to have lunch at the Prince's Mansion.

Everyone knows that the meal between father and son was not so delicious.

No one wanted to eat this meal if possible.

In the prince's mansion, Yun Li sat in the main seat.

The remaining officials sat on both sides according to their ranks.

Yun Li: "You are all important officials in the court. Tell us how to deal with the affairs of Zhenhe and Li Kingdom and Lao Liu's petition?"

Faced with Yun Li's question, more than a dozen important officials didn't know how to start.

Or maybe, they are all waiting for others to speak first.

There are also people who secretly slander in their hearts.

They said they were going to have a meal, but the meal hasn't even been served yet and they're already talking about business.

The little food I had in the morning had long been digested.

Now, many people feel hungry.

"Uncle, please speak first!"

In the end, Yun Li still set his sights on Xu Shifu.

Now that he is not in the court, it doesn't matter if he calls Xu Shifu "uncle".

However, Xu Shifu knew that being called "uncle" was not so pleasant.

Xu Shifu was silent for a moment, then simply said, "Anyway, the Ministry of Revenue has no money!"

Xu Shifu's meaning was very clear.

No need for money.

I wouldn’t even give you my life!

As for the rest, let's discuss it together. You can't be the first to speak up every time.

"There are no officials to be sent from the Ministry of Personnel!"

Tang Shu cleverly followed up on Xu Shifu's words.

"..."

Yun Li's face twitched slightly. "So that means you won't give him anything and let him figure it out, right?"

Although he thought so too.

But thinking and doing are two different things.

If you don't have money, maybe you can still make excuses.

But it is really unacceptable not to send officials.

He now does not regard the land of Zhenhe as the land of Daqian.

But as long as the Sixth Brother does not rebel and establish his own rule, Zhenhe is nominally the land of Daqian.

This is submission!

Not a surrender!

Even if it's just for show, a few officials should be sent over symbolically.

Otherwise, that bastard is spreading the word everywhere that Zhenhe has voluntarily surrendered, but the court has not even sent an official. Does the court still have the face to maintain?

Tang Shu laughed dryly, "I made a mistake when I sent officials to the Northwest Protectorate. I must not make the same mistake again!"

"I know you're in trouble, and I also know that no one is willing to go!"

Yun Li frowned and said, "But the court has to act in a proper manner and give an explanation to the people of the world, right?"

"This……"

Tang was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

This is really not an excuse for him!

The lessons learned from the Northwest Protectorate are all there.

Who is still willing to go to Zhenhe?

"I'd like to say that this matter is actually not troublesome at all!"

Xiao Wanchou said disapprovingly: "The court can just pick a few people and appoint them to official positions and send them to Zhenhe! Anyway, the court doesn't expect them to do anything."

"Yep……"

"Duke Yu, you still have a good brain!"

"That's how it should be!"

"It's just a formality anyway..."

Xiao Wanchou's suggestion was supported by many people.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who we send.

Instead of this, it would be better to send two people who have no talent and no moral integrity.

Listening to the words of the ministers, Yun Li couldn't help but secretly curse these good-for-nothings in his heart.

Didn’t anyone suggest that the second or fifth son be appointed to Zhenhe?

Even if I can't cause trouble for Lao Liu, at least I will drive them out of the imperial city!

This year, the second and fifth sons were released from house arrest, and they no longer caused him trouble, but he would never feel at ease unless they were driven out of the imperial city.

Who knows, the two of them might be plotting a bigger conspiracy!

Now he just wanted to deal with Yun Zheng with peace of mind and had no intention of paying attention to those two brothers.

However, he cannot say this.

For him, it would be considered a deliberate suppression and murder of his brothers.

When his ministers brought it up, he had no choice but to "be forced" to agree to their request.

In this way, he could also give an explanation to Emperor Wen.

"Forget it! Let's not discuss this matter for now."

Yun Li raised his hand to stop the ministers. "Now that the Sixth Lord has obtained the land of Zhenhe, although the Kingdom of Li has paid tribute, they are actually paying tribute to him! In this way, his military force has become even stronger. What do you think the court should do?"

Hearing Yun Li's question, the ministers fell silent again.

Contain Yun Zheng!

This is a common topic in the court.

But every time this topic is discussed, it basically ends in failure.

Even if someone occasionally came up with a solution, it would be in vain.

Today, Yun Zheng can be said to be truly the dominant force in the north!

Except for the chaotic Xiqu and the isolated Yu Kingdom, all the surrounding countries were defeated by Yun Zheng and surrendered.

Although the imperial court was constantly expanding its military, the pressure was increasing.

Tang Shu was silent for a while, then he said, "I think it is meaningless to talk about how to contain Yun Zheng now! The court can no longer contain him."

"Now, winter is coming soon, and Yun Zheng should be returning soon."

"Although Yun Zheng's losses in this attack on Li Kingdom are unknown, the cost must have been quite high!"

"Yun Zheng probably won't use his troops in winter, but he will probably find something else to do in winter..."

Tang Shu did not say what came next.

But Yunli and his ministers all heard it.

Find something else to do?

It's nothing more than causing trouble for the imperial court and Yun Li, the Crown Prince who is the regent!

Now it’s not a question of how they can contain Yun Zheng at all.

The question is how they should deal with Yun Zheng’s difficulties next.

The court is now in an extremely embarrassing situation.

He hated Yun Zheng, but didn't dare to go to war with him.

He didn't want to give Yun Zheng anything, but he couldn't stand Yun Zheng's threats.

Yun Li sent many people inside the pass to slander Yun Zheng and destroy his reputation, but no matter how much they slandered, they could not deny Yun Zheng's achievements.

Under such circumstances, the relationship between the imperial court and Yun Zheng was very delicate.

The two sides are currently maintaining a strange balance. They both want to break the balance, but they are constantly testing it, and neither dares to act rashly.

Yun Zheng might be waiting for a suitable excuse.

The imperial court was accumulating strength.

While Yun Li and his ministers were having a headache, Emperor Wen in his bedroom was also worried.

"Is there no detailed map of Le... Country?"

Emperor Wen asked Mu Shun with a worried look on his face.

"This... really doesn't exist."

Mu Shun was helpless. "The Kingdom of Li has been out of the control of the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years. It is so far away from us that there is really no detailed map. This map was drawn by people based on the records in ancient books when the previous emperor was still alive..."

Listening to Mu Shun's words, Emperor Wen felt helpless.

Can’t he go to the Kingdom of Li to take a look? He can’t even look at a map?

"This rebellious son is really ignorant!"

Emperor Wen complained again, "The Kingdom of Li has already surrendered, but he didn't even bother to send back a map? What, he wants me to reward him with several million taels of silver in exchange for the map?"

Listening to Emperor Wen's complaints, Mu Shun just smiled and said nothing.

Emperor Wen was almost about to have the word "show off" carved on his face!

He kept cursing the boy as a traitor, but he was actually thinking about it in his heart.

Emperor Wen continued to scold Yun Zheng for a while, then suddenly looked up and asked Mu Shun: "Do you think I can still go to Juzhou?"

Mu Shun's face twitched violently and he looked at Emperor Wen in astonishment.

After a moment, Mu Shun said with a smile: "Now our dynasty's territory is greater than that of all previous dynasties, and Your Majesty's civil and military achievements are better than those of all previous emperors. I think Your Majesty should be enthroned at Jishan in Muzhou, in order to pray for the blessings of God for the Great Qian Dynasty..."
