Hearing Li Tianyuan's question, the hall suddenly became quiet, and all the officials turned their eyes to Li Rushan and Li Ruhai.
The officials all knew about the conflict between the two men, and at this moment they were all quietly watching their reactions.
After all, representing the country and the royal family as an envoy to Tianyue Kingdom is an extremely honorable thing. According to the usual management, the two brothers will definitely argue fiercely.
In fact, most of the officials in the palace did not understand why Li Tianyuan did not directly appoint one person to go on the mission. In this way, even if the other one was dissatisfied, he would not vent his anger on his brother, and would definitely feel that the emperor was somewhat unfair.
If you let them fight among themselves, in the end one of them will still have to be chosen, which will make the other dissatisfied, and in the process of fighting, the relationship between the two brothers will only get worse and worse.
Li Rushan certainly hopes to participate in this mission. After all, representing the royal family on a diplomatic mission to another country is itself a symbol of honor.
However, before he could open his mouth to introduce himself, Li Ruhai rushed to say something that no one present, including Li Tianyuan, had expected.
"Father, I think it would be more appropriate to send my second brother on this diplomatic mission.
I am not good at speaking, and I am afraid that I might say something wrong when I am sent as an envoy to Tianyue Kingdom, which would damage the reputation of the country.
My second brother has always been a steady person with a broad mind, and is the best candidate to be the national envoy."
As Li Ruhai spoke, his expression was extremely sincere, and the look he gave Li Rushan was as if he had suddenly become a different person, extremely friendly.
His words plunged the entire hall into silence. Even Li Rushan himself thought he had heard wrongly. How could Li Ruhai recommend him to go to Tianyue Kingdom? This was obviously not normal.
Li Tianyuan's eyes fixed, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy, as if he was excitedly preparing to watch a play, but the play suddenly ended.
He could not understand why Li Ruhai, who had always competed with Li Rushan, became like this today. He was simply a model of a humble and kind elder brother.
Li Tianyuan opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a while.
The officials in the hall were also somewhat bewildered; the current situation was beyond their expectations.
"This... This opportunity is so good, Hai'er, are you really going to give it up and let Shan'er go?"
Previously, it was Li Tianyuan himself who asked the two to make the choice. Now that Li Ruhai has given up his position to Li Rushan, this task naturally belongs to Li Rushan. There is no possibility of quarrels or conflicts between the two. Instead, it should be very harmonious.
"Father, I have made up my mind. I recommend my second brother, who I think is the most suitable for this mission, to be the national envoy. As long as my second brother has no objection, it will be fine."
Li Ruhai said to Li Tianyuan with a smile.
Li Tianyuan's expression was a little stiff. He was stunned for a while before looking at Li Rushan and said, "Shan'er, what do you think? Are you willing to take this mission?"
Li Rushan knew that Li Ruhai's behavior was abnormal and that the other party might be plotting against him behind his back, but he could not refuse the mission to Tianyue Kingdom.
After all, this is an honor, and he couldn't refuse it just because he suspected that Li Ruhai was going to do something bad to him.
What's more, the envoy team is actually very safe, because the team will definitely be led by an expert, most likely a talisman god.
With such people guarding him, Li Rushan didn't think Li Ruhai's conspiracy could hurt him.
"Since my elder brother has recommended me, I naturally cannot let him down. I am willing to go on a diplomatic mission to the Tianyue Kingdom!"
Li Rushan said to Li Tianyuan respectfully.
Li Tianyuan was silent for a while after hearing this, and finally exhaled a breath of turbid air, saying: "Okay, this matter is settled. One month later, Shan'er will lead the diplomatic envoys to the Tianyue Kingdom!!!
Let’s end today’s court meeting here. I am a little tired and want to go down and rest.
You guys should go back at low tide. "
Li Tianyuan was filled with anger over what had just happened, but he couldn't vent it in the court. He could only keep it in his heart and felt very uncomfortable.
Feeling restless, he simply ended the meeting and asked everyone to leave.
Li Rushan and Li Ruhai looked at each other. Li Rushan's eyes were full of confusion. When he looked at Li Ruhai, his eyes were full of suspicion.
Li Ruhai's face was full of smiles, as if he was a kind and benevolent brother, which left Li Rushan completely confused.
After everyone was driven out of the palace by the emperor, Li Rushan wanted to find Li Ruhai to ask for clarification.
However, Li Ruhai did not give him any chance. He just smiled at him and left without staying. Li Rushan returned to the harem with full of doubts.
After Li Rushan came back, he called Ye Li over, along with Liu Zhanqing and Liu Bilu.
After Li Rushan told the three people what happened in the court, they immediately showed looks of surprise and doubt on their faces.
"How could this be? When did the eldest prince become so kind that he would recommend you
He was in the Land of Water Soul Seal, but he ordered his men to kill us. Is he crazy now? His behavior is so abnormal! "
Ye Li said with a puzzled look on his face.
Liu Zhanqing said, "I told you long ago that I would ask His Highness to find an opportunity to kill the eldest prince. I think he must be thinking of some conspiracy. Could it be that he is going to send people to attack the team during this mission? "
Hearing Liu Zhanqing's words, Li Rushan shook his head and said, "Zhanqing, I will not kill my brother unless it is absolutely necessary.
It is cruel enough for compatriots to fight against each other. If they also kill each other, it is really not a good thing.
Moreover, an attack on the diplomatic mission should be impossible.
There is very likely a Talisman God among the diplomatic delegation. With a master of this level here, I don’t believe that my brother can find a master of the same level.
There is no point in making wild guesses now, as we have no idea what he is trying to do.
Anyway, we have to be more careful in what we do recently and try to be on guard so as not to fall into the trap of Big Brother and be plotted against by him.
By the way, Zhan Qing, Bi Lu and Ye Li, you should also accompany me on this mission. You three are the people I trust the most, and I will feel more at ease with you by my side."
Liu Zhanqing smiled and said, "We are your highness's personal guards, so we will naturally not leave your highness. If your highness wants to go on a diplomatic mission to Tianyue Country, we will naturally follow him."
Ye Li hesitated for a moment, thoughts swirling in his mind, but he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I am willing to accompany Your Highness."
He actually wanted to stay in the harem to practice, but it seemed that he would probably stay in the Nine Souls Continent for a long time.
It is definitely the right thing for him to do now by contacting various forces and building good relations with Li Rushan, because these people may be able to help him in the future.
