Everyone said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am guilty."
Seeing that the court was quiet, Meng Li came out and said:
"Your Majesty Guzheng, I am willing to guarantee everything I said with my life. I hope the Emperor will take it seriously."
Everyone started talking in low voices again, and the emperor urged:
"This matter is not trivial, especially for that person in the Ministry of Revenue. Does the money in the treasury still have enough?"
"And you guys should discuss it quickly and come up with a result, don't mess around."
Go to court early, and go early to accompany Concubine Hui to enjoy the flowers. We made an appointment before, but you have no words to say, so how can you break the agreement.
Some pictures appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
I was tortured by goblins for half the night last night, and now I feel sleepy sitting here. Why not take this opportunity to take a rest, so that I can feel energetic in the afternoon.
After that, the emperor completely ignored the comments below and closed his eyes as if falling asleep.
Everyone:…
Forget it, everyone ignored the emperor and started discussing again. Some people were calculating how much money they could get from strengthening the border defense.
Some people are wondering what the attitude of the person on the dragon throne is.
Only a few people gathered around Meng Li, worriedly asking how to solve the problem.
Some officials who usually flattered the emperor regardless of right and wrong were probably not so resolutely opposed to the emperor's attitude, and the imperial preceptor risked his life to guarantee it. Even though they despised Meng Li, they somehow felt that the situation was a bit serious.
It seems that they don't look like before. They just came to harass me, grab some things and then leave.
Even if they thought privately, they could not persuade the emperor not to strengthen defenses.
When something happens, they will be the first to be held accountable.
In the end, everyone came to an agreement and felt confident. They looked at the person on the dragon chair, who was still asleep.
No one dared to wake up. A group of courtiers waited patiently, and Meng Li was also quite speechless.
Half an hour passed when the emperor opened his eyes. He became angry when he looked at the crowd of ministers below and said:
"Why are you still here?"
Minister:…
Jia Zhengchu whispered in the emperor's ear:
"Your Majesty, let them discuss the issue..."
The emperor seemed to remember this and said impatiently:
"How, how should this matter be?"
The ministers then expressed their thoughts. Those who supported it, no matter what the purpose, they supported it anyway.
Some people who do not support it feel that the border defense is already very strong and there is really no need to waste money and manpower.
But most still support it.
Prime Minister You also supported it. The emperor asked Prime Minister Zuo:
"What do you think, Aiqing?"
Prime Minister Zuo glanced at Meng Li, hesitating at first, but saw Meng Li's cold and indifferent eyes glance at him, with an aura about him that inexplicably overwhelmed him and made him unhappy.
But it is better to believe in the existence of national affairs than in the non-existence of national affairs, not to mention the fact that this woman guaranteed it with her life. If this matter came out of nothing, it would also end the existence of Da Qi's female national preceptor.
No matter how you calculate, you won’t lose money.
Then he said:
"I also support strengthening border defense."
The emperor hesitated for a moment:
"Okay, just do as you say."
After that, he stood up and planned to leave. After taking a few steps, he came back and said to everyone:
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Many officials came out and said, "I have something to report."
emperor:…
"Send it over and I will take a look at it."
After saying that, he raised his feet and planned to leave, then came back:
"Whoever is from the household department, come with me."
The Minister of Hubu looked around, and it seemed that the emperor was looking at him. He said yes. The emperor glanced at Meng Li, frowned and looked away impatiently.
It was time to go to court again. Meng Li left the main hall and found that the sun was already noon, and she was walking forward.
Prime Minister Right is chasing behind:
"National Master, wait for me."
Meng Li stopped and looked at Prime Minister Right:
"Right Prime Minister, please be slower. I'll just wait for you."
Prime Minister You caught up with Meng Li, who was getting older. After walking a few steps to catch his breath, he said:
"National Master, can this solve the border crisis?"
Meng Li shook his head:
"Just to prepare first, we need a general who is good at marching and fighting."
Prime Minister Right frowned, as if he was thinking about who was suitable. After thinking for a long time, he unexpectedly asked Meng Li:
"Is there anyone the Imperial Master can recommend to His Majesty?"
Meng Li smiled:
"The right prime minister thinks highly of me. I don't have such a capable person around me."
You Cheng waved his hand:
"Although you are young, you are still a national master. You call yourself a junior, old master Zhesha." He glanced at Meng Li, his eyes shining brightly.
Meng Li lowered his head slightly and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty is quite worthy."
You Cheng stroked his beard, met Meng Li's eyes, and laughed:
"Then let me rely on my old age for once."
Meng Li pursed his lips and smiled, and Prime Minister Right said:
"What the National Master asks for for the people on the border will definitely come true."
"Then let me lend you some good words." Meng Li said.
The two chatted while walking. After leaving the palace gate and about to get on the carriage, You Cheng raised his hands to Meng Ligong and said:
"Today in the court, if I made any unintentional remarks that offended the Imperial Master, I will apologize here. My biggest shortcoming is that when I am in a hurry, I lose my mind when speaking. I hope the Imperial Master will not mind it."
Meng Li returned the gift:
"You are serious, Prime Minister, I have forgotten everything you said."
After she finished speaking, she smiled, and the other person smiled too.
Meng Li laughed because Prime Minister You must have something to ask for, and after taking such a big detour, the matter should be relatively secretive.
If her attitude was a little colder, Prime Minister You would definitely not be willing to say it.
There seems to be such a thing in the memory of the client, but the client has a cold personality and is not willing to get close to the courtiers. At about that time, Prime Minister You gave a few test words and the matter was dropped.
Prime Minister You was still hesitant. Meng Li said goodbye to Prime Minister You, saying that he was going back.
If you want to say it, just say, it’s better to be exposed to such a bright sun. She looked at the right prime minister.
Prime Minister Right said:
"Master Imperial Master, would you like to be a guest in my house?"
Meng Li raised his eyebrows: "Prime Minister Right, if you have something to say, please speak directly."
Prime Minister Right said with some embarrassment:
"This is about my granddaughter. I went out and brought back something as big as a palm, but I suspect that the thing is evil. One kick can cause large bruises on people's bodies, and it won't go away for half a month."
He looked around, his voice low.
He added a little embarrassedly:
"There are still some strange things that I will come over one by one. The National Preceptor is an expert and well-informed, so I hope that the Imperial Preceptor can help take a look at them. I will definitely thank you very much."
Meng Li was thinking and didn't reply for a moment. Your Prime Minister said hurriedly:
"If this matter troubles the National Master, I won't force it, but I hope that the National Master can keep it a secret for me. If others know about such strange things, they must use it as an excuse."
Meng Li was a little curious about what the imperial master was talking about.
Out of curiosity, she said:
"This junior can follow Your Majesty Prime Minister to the house to take a look, but if we can't solve the problem, I hope you won't blame me."
When the Prime Minister You heard this, he immediately became happy, bared his teeth and said:
"No, no, then we won't delay any more, let's go quickly."
Meng Li:…
I had been chatting about my feelings for a long time, but the old man was so depressed that he didn't want to pretend for a while longer.
