Chapter 685 Earn your own face

Early the next morning, Emperor Wen received another letter from Mushun.

It's Yunzheng's personal letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Emperor Wen was furious and called Yun Li into Luan Jiazhong again.

"Let's see!"

Emperor Wen directly threw Yun Zheng's autographed letter to Yun Li.

Yun Li quickly picked up the letter and read it.

In the letter, Yunzheng explained in detail the reasons for not accepting the order, and said with great righteousness that Daqian had spent a lot of money this year and it was not appropriate to hold a wedding for him and Gayao at this time. He understood Emperor Wen's kindness, but he We can't watch Emperor Wen sell off the items in his palace to collect money to hold a wedding for him...

Yun Zheng talked a lot eloquently.

Anyway, it just means that he and Ga Yao are not getting married.

Moreover, this reason sounds completely reasonable, and it is completely for the sake of the people of Daqian and Emperor Wen.

Even Yun Li can't find fault with it.

"how?"

Emperor Wen asked.

"This……"

Yun Li frowned, "Father, please forgive me for speaking frankly, what the sixth brother said is quite reasonable..."

"Yes, it's reasonable!" Emperor Wen looked gloomy, "This is the power of this traitor!"

The great thing?

Yun Li was secretly suspicious.

What does Father mean by this?

Why is this the great thing about Lao Liu?

"My son is stupid, I don't know what to interpret by my father's words?"

Yun Li didn't want to understand, so he could only humbly ask Emperor Wen for advice.

"You are like this, no wonder you are being fooled around by this traitor like Lao Liu all day long!"

Emperor Wen glanced at Yun Li with hatred, and said angrily: "If he uses these reasons to resist the decree, tell me, how will the people in the world feel?"

Yun Li frowned and began to think carefully.

As he thought about it, a look of enlightenment gradually appeared on Yun Li's face.

"If he resists the decree for these reasons and word gets out, people in the world will not only say that he has no father, but will also say that he cares about the people of the world and has the overall situation in mind. He might even end up with a virtuous reputation!"

Yun Li finally figured out the twists and turns here.

"You're not too stupid!"

Emperor Wen's expression softened a little, "If this spreads out, no one in the world will say anything wrong about him. They will only say that I, the emperor, do not understand the general situation and do not know the priorities!"

Yun Li nodded lightly, "The sixth man is going to rebel against my father's army!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Wen sighed heavily and said through gritted teeth: "This traitor blatantly refused to accept the imperial edict, and yet he spoke so eloquently! Not only did he slap me in the face, but he also took the opportunity to gain a reputation as a virtuous man! What a scheming man he is!"

Seeing Emperor Wen's angry look, Yun Li couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

The greater my father's opinion of this piece of shit Lao Liu, the better it will be for him.

As long as the father is on his side, no matter what reason Lao Liu has for sending troops south in the future, it will be a rebellion!

Yun Li suppressed the joy in his heart and showed a worried look, "If you put it this way, doesn't it mean that Lao Liu must take over the order?"

"Ok!"

Emperor Wen nodded slightly and said with a sad face: "If he refuses to accept the order, he will not only put me on the fire, but also attack the prestige of the court! If he doesn't even accept the order, do you think he can still do it?" Will you accept the imperial court's order to send officials to the Northwest Protectorate?"

After Emperor Wen's analysis, Yun Li was extremely worried, "But how can we get Lao Liu to accept the order now? If Lao Liu refuses to accept the order, the court will not be able to do anything to him!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Wen nodded feebly, "This treacherous son is already full-fledged. It's definitely not possible to try hard with him! If we want to get this treacherous son to accept the order, we can only use other methods..."

The more Emperor Wen talked, the more worried he became, and the sadness on his face was so thick that he couldn't get rid of it.

After listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li immediately racked his brains to think.

Besides threatening to send troops, what other methods can be used to get Lao Liu to accept the order?

Is it possible that the court still wants to give him benefits?

As he was thinking about it, Yun Li's heart suddenly moved, "Father, is the sixth brother's move a disguised way of asking for benefits from the court? Does he want the court to give him benefits before he accepts the order?"

Emperor Wen nodded slightly, "I estimate that this traitor must have this intention."

Yun Li immediately suggested: "If the sixth brother refuses to accept the order, the imperial court can re-block the frontier of Fuzhou and prohibit trade with Shuobei within the pass!"

Emperor Wen raised his eyes and said, "What if the old man gets desperate and he sends troops south? How will the court respond?"

"This……"

Yun Li opened his mouth slightly, "Shuo Bei is also at war this year. Sixth brother should not..."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"

Emperor Wen interrupted Yun Li, "The relationship between Lao Liu and the court is very delicate now. Maybe Lao Liu is looking for a suitable excuse to send troops south! It will not be good for the court to irritate Lao Liu at this time."

Yun Li was speechless.

If Lao Liu sends troops south, the imperial army may not be able to stop this bitch.

The key is that there are few generals who are good at fighting in the DPRK who are willing to go to war with Shuobei.

“But there’s no way we can continue like this!”

Yun Li looked at Emperor Wen worriedly, "If Lao Liu is given a few more years to solve Shuobei's predicament, he will pose an even greater threat to the imperial court!"

"That's why I asked you to weaken those sects and clans." Emperor Wen glared at Yunli and said angrily: "It's just this, what do you think you did? I racked my brains to help you stabilize Sixth, you are so dilly-dallying and timid! Do you still think you have a lot of time left for us?"

Yun Li's face flushed slightly, and he quickly explained: "It was also because of the floods and plague in the south, and also because of the troops from various tribes in the western desert. I was afraid of causing trouble, so I really didn't dare to be ruthless..."

"I know!"

Emperor Wen glared at Yun Li again, "If it weren't for these messy things and your timid appearance, I would have slapped you on the face!"

"My son, I am ashamed."

Yun Li quickly lowered his eyebrows in a submissive manner.

Seeing Yun Li's appearance, Emperor Wen couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Even if it wasn't paving the way for Lao Liu, the imperial court would eventually weaken the clans and clans.

With Lao San's skills, even if the throne is handed over to him, he will still be constrained by the family and clan.

All his intelligence was used to harm others!

"That's it!"

After a long time, Emperor Wen sighed tiredly, "Let's not talk about this for now. You can figure it out by yourself later! Let's talk about how we can get Lao Liu to accept the decree and save my old face!"

Yun Li lowered his head and did not answer.

This won't work, and that won't work either.

What does this mean for him to think of?

Could it be that the imperial court still wanted to allocate tens of millions of taels of silver to that bitch and let him receive the decree?

If you really want that, just give up the throne to that bitch!

Seeing that Yun Li was silent, Emperor Wen's eyes flashed with a smile, and he sighed leisurely: "I can't count on you. I have to earn my old face by myself!"

"Father..."

Yun Li raised his head slightly, but stopped talking.

"Let me go to Shuobei myself!"

Emperor Wen's face was full of bitterness, "I will personally go to deliver the order and see if this traitor dares to resist the order face to face!"

"what?"

Yun Li suddenly raised his head, his face full of astonishment, "Father, how...how can this be done?"

"Otherwise, what else can we do?"

Emperor Wen was sullen and said, "I want you to deliver the order and have a face-to-face interview with Lao Liu. Do you dare to go?"

"..."

Yun Li's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly stopped talking...
