The news from the State of Cai instantly shocked the Great Xia State, which existed in name only. The Kong family was secretly colluding with the State of Cai? This was treason!
Although everyone is not a good person, who let your Kong family be caught? Don't you know the truth that the wind destroys the beautiful trees and the rain hits the rafters
Cai State said it well: it was the former prime minister who betrayed Cai State and secretly cooperated with the Kong family. Now, Cai State has expelled the former prime minister's family and issued a wanted order.
Look, our State of Cai did this, will you, State of Daxia, also expel the Kong family
Undoubtedly, this news pushed the Kong family to the edge of the mountain, with no other way to go! The Kong family had only one way left, that is - to rebel against him!
But... the one who is in charge of the government now is Li Yulong, who is very skilled. Send someone to contact the Kong family immediately - it will be useless for you to rebel now, the emperor is not dead yet, and your family is not fully prepared; for your own consideration, you should do this...
Therefore, Kong Donglai, the current head of the Kong family, immediately wrote to the court, saying that this matter had nothing to do with us. It was the State of Cai who secretly sent an envoy to find us first, and then we found the Prime Minister of the State of Cai; and then the following things happened. This matter was planned by His Majesty the State of Cai from beginning to end!
In short, the Kong family bit back - this matter was actually secretly planned by the Emperor of Cai State, and had nothing to do with our Kong family or the former prime minister of Cai State.
In addition, in order to show their sincerity, the Kong family was willing to donate 100,000 taels of gold to the imperial mausoleum.
They did what they said. Within five days, the Kong family mobilized 100,000 taels of gold and set out on the journey.
His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia immediately issued an edict saying: Very good, I am very pleased.
A conspiracy disappeared without a trace before it was even launched. The State of Cai wanted to take the opportunity to disrupt the Great Xia State, but was bitten back by Li Yulong. Now the State of Cai is speechless and can't explain itself - it turns out that it was not the prime minister who committed treason, but the emperor who was incompetent.
What about Anyang, far away in the east? Yan Ze'an, who had just started to preside over Anyang's government affairs, was silent for a long time after seeing Li Yulong's wrist, and only said one word: "High!"
Xu Ren was still calm and confident. "Yes, it's brilliant! With just one simple move, the State of Cai was humiliated and the arrest warrant for you was lifted. Most importantly, the Great Xia State, which existed in name only, can be maintained for a few more years. These few years are enough for Li Liang to completely conquer Kaiping County and for Li Xian to consolidate his foundation. It's killing several birds with one stone!"
Yan Ze'an looked at the leisurely Xu Ren and finally couldn't help but speak: "Sir, your talent is not inferior to mine. You are fully qualified to be the prime minister."
"Yeah~~~" Xu Ren shook his head, "Being a prime minister is too tiring, so having a counselor is better. Look, I am so relaxed now, but you are so busy. Haha... Okay, okay, don't get angry, I'm telling you the truth. The young master has a rather eccentric mindset, and he seems easy-going, but in fact he is often stubborn. He needs someone to restrain, persuade, and enlighten him. For the time being, it seems that only Xu can do the job. So political matters can only be entrusted to Prime Minister Yan."
"I see. Today I have something I want to discuss with you, sir. Currently, the Brilliant Star Group is already in a tight spot. There has been no time to build the dock, and the iron-hulled ship project has not been put into production. Now almost all the stainless steel is used to produce the Trident of the Sea Clan. My idea is to suspend the dock and iron-hulled ship projects first?"
