Satisfied Female Emperor

Ru Yi didn't say much. It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but in front of someone as respectable as Li Gui, she felt that finding a solution to the problem in front of him was the best thing to do.

She was also a practical person.

He told Li Gui about Emperor Qing's plans as well as his own thoughts.

When Ru Yi saw it, she smiled slightly. Even though the warmth wasn't for her, Li Gui was truly a good official who loved his people like children.

The two of them sat at the side of the table. Behind Li Gui Zhong was a person who looked like a Grand Master. Just now, she had followed the crowd to greet him. Li Gui had glanced at that person before ordering fifteen to sit behind Li Gui.

Compared to the calmness of Li Gui, the Grand Master was much more agitated, and the excitement in his eyes could be clearly seen.

"If they really can get their hands on water, then the people of Ganzhou may have to live a better life than the people of Interstate City!" The land of Ganzhou was fertile, and food was produced in abundance. If it wasn't for this, the Prefect wouldn't have been able to keep up with the outsiders for so many years.

Ru Yi smiled. "Your excellency's words make sense. However, how does Your Excellency know that the lives of the commoners in the Zhou Prefecture won't improve?"

This time, Li Gui Zhong truly had a smile on his face. He respected his daughter as the crown prince, but only as well. He didn't understand her, so he naturally didn't respect her.

He didn't know if the princess knew that he didn't like courting women, but her performance and words tonight had impressed him. She was only 15 years old, and had rushed all the way from the rich and powerful to the border of Ganzhou.

Not mentioning that she was too much of a girl, even an ordinary half-grown boy like her might not be able to do it. If there was anything she wanted to try, she would return in two days.

"It's because I'm old …" Li Gui chuckled. He hadn't said much, but Ru Yi understood what he meant.

She didn't feel pleased with herself at all. She continued to narrate Emperor Qing's request and her own thoughts.

There was a hint of dimness in her voice. It should be the exhaustion from the days of continuous raids. Even though she had rested for a day and night, she still had not recovered.

"The President of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Li, is one of the envoys. Father and I hope you can send a few more people here to help him. The one who has the most dealings with Jiang Guo is you."

Although Lord Li is the President of the Board of Punishments, he has a moderate personality and is an excellent candidate to be the envoy. "

Li Gui nodded and asked, "Country of Jiang, which prince do you support?"

"Actually, I'm more partial to the third prince. However, royal father feels that the second prince is the legitimate heir to the throne. If Great Yan were to help, it would naturally be more orthodox and more justifiable."

"Then why did the Young Master choose the Third Prince?"

Ru Yi smiled lightly. "This is just a bit of insight from me. Don't be offended by it, milord." The Lord thinks that after the Third Prince or the Second Prince ascended the throne, who among them can be faster and better able to subdue the other brothers? "

Li Gui's eyes lit up as he thought of something. "Of course it's the Second Prince. Even the First Prince can't compare to the Empress."

"To us, supporting the second prince is naturally easier and more justifiable, but to the Yan Kingdom, supporting the third prince who is weaker than the second prince will bring more benefits; moreover, the third prince doesn't have a great reputation, he only obtained power through the favor of King Jiang. At that time, if he ascends to the throne, Jiang Guo will be in a mess for a few years, right?"

The Third Prince's power was destined for him to ascend to the throne, but he couldn't sever all of his other brothers' power. At that time, he would need to be on good terms with the Kingdom of Yan in order to avoid enemies from behind his back.

"Besides … The third prince has a testamentary edict. Compared to the true nature of his son, the testamentary edict is naturally more important. Otherwise, wouldn't that make the spirit of the old King in heaven feel cold?"

The others in the room looked at each other and laughed.

After Li Gui Zhong returned, he said to the Grand Master behind him, "Yan Kingdom has another fifty years of prosperity to wait for …"

A few days ago, at General Xuan De's residence. Since Wei An from the second house found out that His Majesty had summoned the younger generation of the imperial court to follow the army at the border, he couldn't sit still any longer. Speaking of which, he was also the grand daughter's blood cousin.

Wei An was a smart person, so he first used this to convince his mother.

When the Li Clan heard that he wanted to join the army, of course they would be unhappy.

"Mother, I am the grand daughter's blood cousin. If it weren't for the Old Ancestor stopping me from getting on good terms with them, which family's post would have come to me?

In the past, the Old Ancestor was worried that I would embarrass the Grand Princess, so I knew that I was a weakling, so I didn't go out to court him.

Even Li San'er wants to go into the camp as well. He knows that the Emperor is selecting the right people for his daughter, but it's a pity that you also know the situation in his house, how can it be so easy to obtain? "

Madame Li nodded. "That's right, I don't have much experience in this field, but you should still listen to your grandmother. Although she doesn't want to call you out, she doesn't have any bad intentions."

Wei An laughed. "Grandmother still dotes on me. Previously, when these people came to invite me, they didn't look at my female cousin, but now, it's different. If I were to join the army and earn military merits, that would be my own ability.

Besides, my cousin has always been kind to us. Otherwise, we'll let people know that the Grand Matriarch's house is always timid, and there might be people who will come and meet us again in the future. "

In fact, not only the General's House, but most of the younger generation of the other houses felt that this was a chance to earn military merits by going to the border gate without a cruel battle. As for the barbarians, they wouldn't be the ones to take the swords and cut them down, right?

Madame Li was a housewife, and was moved by Wei An's words. She waited until the evening to discuss it with him, and he also agreed, "If none of us go, then His Highness will have no face at all."

It was his words that had moved the ancestors of the manor. His second son had accomplished nothing, but he couldn't just let his grandson say that he had no proper business to do.

"You have to be careful when you go. If you do your duty well, I will ask for a job in the palace even if I have to sacrifice my face."

Madame Li knew that the slight hesitation she originally had was immediately gone. With her mother-in-law's words, even if there was a real risk, it was worth it!

Wei An could be considered to be a friend of the Li family's Second Branch's direct son, Li Zhenyuan. The moment he heard the news that he was going to go, Li Zhenyuan also rolled around on his way home, insisting on going.

His wife, Lady Yao, had a pair of children supporting her, and his parents, the matriarch, were against him. Three to three, Little San against Old Third, a complete defeat, he had to kneel at the ancestral hall all night, and the next day, Li Zhenyuan had started a hunger strike.

Li Yang went to Li Can's place shamelessly to get a few helpers for his son. He didn't expect the court to order him to send an envoy to Jiang Guo …

Li Shen was not going to the border, he was going to the brutal Jiang Country!

They didn't have enough manpower, not to mention that their two sons didn't go. They were worried that Li Zhenyuan might be in danger, so they shouldn't go. His Majesty didn't force anyone to go.

"Second brother is the Li Clan's Patriarch. In terms of manpower, the ones you're looking for are all stronger than the ones your elder brother is looking for."

After saying that with a smile that was not a smile, he served the tea. These people weren't just playing around. If there was a chance, then who knew.

She knew from her many years of experience with her mother-in-law that no matter what her mother-in-law said, even if she was a scoundrel, she would be able to easily describe her as someone who doesn't meet talent.

Of course, these disgusting things didn't happen in the harem every day, or else he would have to suffer from mental illness.

The result was that Li Zhenyuan did not go. The matriarch only had her own grandson. Not to mention that Li Geng didn't have the manpower, even if he did, she still had to worry about those people secretly harming Li Zhenyuan.

If he knew, he definitely wouldn't have asked Li Zhenyuan to go. He was worried that Li Zhenyuan would be too slow and delay the entire group.

At the end of July, Cheng Guogong, Gao Shang, and the others arrived at the Gangzhou Mansion one after the other. They all left easily, so it didn't attract too much attention.

Zhou Zhi personally went to welcome the Duke of Cheng into Ganzhou. "My lord said that we can avoid all vulgar etiquette, but my lord has worked hard all the way. The courtyard is already prepared, not far from my lord, and there are two young masters living close by with my lord …"

When he was bored, he thought about coming to Ganzhou himself, so he decided to do whatever he wanted. Thus, he had a belly full of ideas and was eager to share it with the princess.

"I'm not busy. This old man will talk after meeting Young Master."

Zhou Zhizhong had already given orders, and everything had to be done according to the Old Duke's instructions. He then nodded, and ordered people to quickly report to the Grand Princess.

Because the weather was still a bit hot, the guards had to put on their armor and put in a lot of effort, so Ru Yi had someone create a thin, soft, breathless armor. When the underlings came to report, she was checking them one by one.

He looked around but didn't see Jun Ruye, so he asked fifteen, "Where's your Commander Jun? Why can't I see him?"

"Commander Jun has ordered people to welcome the Crown Prince and his men. Even Li Can and Lord Li need someone familiar to welcome them …"

Ru Yi smiled. "I forgot about this matter. It was really hard on him." Since she didn't have anyone of use by her side, she could only instruct Jun Ruye to handle the matter. Fortunately, she wasn't asking him to go out personally. Everyone was still in the same courtyard, just that they couldn't meet.

"Can you call a few people who are free to come over and try out these soft armor? If they think it's okay, then we can buy some."

He happily agreed to go out, but just as he arrived at the door, he came back to report that the Old Duke had come to see his young master first.

Ru Yi was delighted. "Good, very good. Go get busy with the soft armor first. In a while, go greet the old man. Tell someone to prepare some hot water and food to wash the old man's face."
