Chapter 194: Court Affairs
"Your Majesty, I have a report to make!"
In the main hall, the Minister of War stood up holding a memorial.
"Speak." Mo Yunchen was reviewing memorials and said without raising his head.
"There have been frequent warnings from the border recently. I believe that defense should be strengthened." The Minister of War said, glancing at several important officials standing in front of the emperor.
The third young lady immediately noticed something was wrong: What is this old fox planning?
[Ding! Something's happening in the court]
Hostility Display: ★★★☆☆
[Tips: Someone wants to stir up trouble]
My niece and cousin also noticed something was amiss. The Minister of War had been submitting frequent memorials lately, seemingly targeting something.
"Border defense has always been a top priority," Mo Yunchen finally raised his head. "Do you have any specific suggestions, my dear?"
"I believe we should send more troops," said the Minister of War, "especially to the northern border..."
The third young lady's heart moved: Here it comes!
[Ding! The conspiracy is revealed]
[Enemy's intention: to suppress the generals]
【Recommendation: Be vigilant】
As expected, the Minister of War continued, "Most of the troops currently stationed in the northern border are under General Su's command. I believe appropriate adjustments should be made..."
This is going to take away her father's military power!
The Third Miss was about to speak when she saw Mo Yunchen gently shake his head. She immediately understood: His Majesty has his own ideas.
[Ding! The situation is delicate]
[Your Majesty intends to wait and see what happens]
【Suggestion: Observe for now】
"Oh?" Mo Yunchen said with a half-smile, "My dear, what you mean is..."
"I think we should send new troops to take over the defense," said the Minister of War, "to prevent the generals from becoming too powerful..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar!
This is clearly an accusation of the generals being domineering!
[Ding! The situation is tense]
[The court was in uproar]
【Suggestion: Respond calmly】
Just then, a crisp laugh rang out.
"Your Excellency, the Minister is mistaken."
It’s the third lady!
She stood up, a faint smile on her face: "My Lord, you said that the general's family is very powerful. Do you have any evidence?"
[Ding! Counterattack begins]
Strategy: Retreat to advance
【Suggestion: Take every step carefully】
The Minister of War was stunned: He didn't expect that this girl would suddenly attack.
"Well..." he hesitated, "I am also thinking about the court..."
"Oh?" Miss Three said with a smile, "Does your Excellency know about the military situation in the North?"
The Minister of War was even more panicked: How could he know the specific military situation? He usually just read other people's reports.
[Ding! The advantage is mine]
[The other party is guilty]
【Suggestion: Seize the opportunity to win】
"Since Your Excellency doesn't know," the Third Miss continued, "then let me tell you."
She pulled out a memorial from her bosom: "This is the recent military report from the Northern Territory. Please review it, Your Majesty."
Mo Yunchen took the memorial and his expression gradually became serious.
[Ding! Critical moment]
[Conclusive evidence]
【Suggestion: Hit the target with one strike】
"Over the past three months, the northern tribes have been restless, repeatedly testing our border defenses," the Third Miss said. "If General Su's men weren't well-trained, I'm afraid something bad would have happened."
As soon as these words were spoken, the face of the Minister of War changed drastically!
How would he know this was happening?
[Ding! The other party panics]
[Advantage in hand]
【Recommendation: Continue to apply pressure】
"More than that," the Third Miss continued, "this is the record of the military exercises of the various border tribes, this is the list of military supply allocations, and this is..."
One memorial after another was presented.
Each one records the military situation in the North in detail, and each one shows that the generals have fulfilled their duties loyally!
[Ding! Conclusive evidence]
【Advantage Consolidation】
【Suggestion: Do it in one go】
"So," the Third Miss said with a smile, "My Lord, when you say you want to adjust military power, do you think the border is too peaceful?"
This sentence hits the nail on the head!
Cold sweat broke out on the Minister of War's forehead: He realized that he had caused a big disaster!
[Ding! The opponent collapses]
The situation is clear
【Suggestion: Know when to stop】
Mo Yunchen put the memorial down and looked at the Minister of War: "My dear, do you have anything else to say?"
"Your Majesty..." The Minister of War knelt down, "Your Majesty deserves to die!"
"Forget it," Mo Yunchen said calmly, "The safety of the border is more important than anything else. My dear, please pay more attention to military affairs."
This is a warning in disguise!
[Ding! Holy Will Appears]
【Warning in place】
【Suggestion: Quit while you are ahead】
But the third young lady is not ready to let it go.
"Since you're concerned about military affairs," she said with a smile, "why don't you go to the border more often?"
"This..." The Minister of War turned pale.
"It just so happens that General Su will be reviewing the border troops soon," the Third Miss continued, "it would be reassuring for you to go and take a look, wouldn't it?"
【Ding! A clever plan is online】
Retreat to advance
【Suggestion: Go with the flow】
A smile flashed in Mo Yunchen's eyes: "This is a good suggestion."
"Your Majesty..." the Minister of War wanted to refuse.
"My dear minister, haven't you always been concerned about the border?" Mo Yunchen said, "This time I will go and take a look."
That’s the order!
[Ding! The Holy Will is Clear]
[The plan succeeded]
【Suggestion: End at the right time】
Only after the court was dismissed did my niece and cousin laugh out loud.
"What a 'border concern'!" said the niece. "He's going to have to suffer this time!"
"That's right," my cousin nodded, "let him go and see for himself how peaceful the border is!"
The Third Miss seemed to be thinking: "Haven't you noticed that the atmosphere in the court is not right recently?"
[Ding! Keen Insight]
【Deep Thinking】
【Suggestion: Careful analysis】
Indeed, there have been people stirring up trouble in the court recently.
First, the censor impeached the general, and then the Ministry of War submitted a petition to mobilize troops.
These things may seem scattered, but it seems like someone is pushing them from behind...
[Ding! Situation Analysis]
Hidden Truth Revealed
【Recommendation: Further investigation】
"Could it be related to the previous vision?" the niece suddenly asked.
The three of them looked at each other: It's possible!
Ever since the dragon energy phenomenon appeared, undercurrents have been surging in the court.
It seems like someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble!
[Ding! Relationship revealed]
【The truth emerges】
【Suggestion: Prepare for a rainy day】
"So..." Miss San smiled, "Should we do something?"
"For example?" asked my cousin.
"For example..." Miss San blinked, "Send some people to the border as well?"
[Ding! A plan emerges]
【Wisdom Revealed】
[Recommendation: Proceed with caution]
The niece understood immediately: "I'll arrange it right away."
"Remember to be more discreet." The third lady reminded.
"Don't worry," my cousin said with a smile, "we have plenty of ways."
[Ding! The plan begins]
【Deployment】
【Suggestion: Steadily advance】
Soon, some news began to spread in the court:
“I heard there’s treasure on the border…”
"It is said that someone has discovered a secret realm..."
"It seems that some alien race has presented rare treasures..."
These news are true or false, but they make some people feel itchy!
[Ding! The plan succeeded]
【Effects are evident】
【Suggestion: Continue to move forward】
Sure enough, within a few days, many officials volunteered to go to the border to "understand the people's sentiments."
The three of them saw it and laughed in their hearts: These people fell into the trap themselves, so they can't be blamed!
[Ding! Everything went smoothly]
【Significant results】
【Suggestion: Wait for the results】
After Mo Yunchen knew about it, he couldn't help laughing: "You guys..."
"Your Majesty," the Third Miss said with a smile, "isn't this for the good of the court?"
"That's right," the niece continued, "let them go and see for themselves, so they can give up."
"Besides," my cousin added, "this is their own choice."
[Ding! Smart response]
Sacred Heart Joy
【Suggestion: Continue to perform】
Indeed, these people wanted to go on their own initiative; no one forced them.
If you suffer at that time, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck!
This is the real trick!
[Ding! The wisdom is revealed]
【Plan Completed】
【Suggestion: Wait and see the results】
"But..." Mo Yunchen suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid that they will really find something?"
The three of them smiled but said nothing: How could we possibly let them find out?
What you should watch and what you shouldn’t watch have already been arranged!
[Ding! Confident]
【Wisdom in the Heart】
【Suggestion: Wait and see】
Just like this, a seemingly ordinary court dispute actually hides a mystery.
And these officials who took the lead in "understanding the people's sentiments" did not know what they were about to face...
This is the true way of wisdom!
