I thought that after I finished saying what I should say, Wen Xiangwu would let me go. However, the facts proved that I was still too naive.

"So, according to your opinion, how can we break the plan?"

Damn it!!!

When Wen Xiangwu said this with a serious expression, I almost punched him. Dear readers, please don’t forget why I spoke. It was Wen Xiangwu who asked the emperor what he thought first. The emperor pushed the blame in front of me and I had to speak.

Now that I have finished speaking, it is the emperor's turn to say it. Even if the emperor still has no idea, Wen Xiangwu should take the form and ask him to say "I think so too" so that he will not lose the emperor's face.

However, there was no emperor in his eyes. In his straight eyes when he looked at me, he only cared about national affairs, and the national affairs in his heart obviously had nothing to do with the emperor's face.

I secretly glanced at the emperor, and saw that he lowered his head and frowned slightly, thinking about something seriously, and I felt a little relieved. The emperor had a serious business, at least he would not delay national affairs for his own face.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. If the emperor was only interested in fighting for power and not caring about national interests at all, Wen Xiangwu would definitely not support him.

"Speak quickly! Don't waste time!"

Wen Xiangwu saw me looking around and shouted directly. His roar scared the emperor. I didn't care about seeing his reaction anymore, and immediately came to my senses and said subconsciously.

"That depends on what you want to do--uh..."

After the words started, I realized that I had forgotten to use respectful words and wanted to change them back. Wen Xiangwu shouted again, asking me not to talk about those things that were not available, and to say something quickly, as if I could definitely come up with a way to break the plan.

"Uh... Principal, you ask the minister to find a way. The minister can do his best... But, you have to tell me first, are you and Your Majesty trying to calm down the situation, or do you want to take this opportunity to get rid of the identity of a vassal state?"

"How do you say the former? How do you talk about the latter?"

Wen Xiangwu did not answer my question, but asked me to tell both countermeasures. Now that things have come to this point, I can only say whatever I think and leave it to fate.

"If the two of you just want to calm down, then we don't have to do anything and do whatever we should do. We will accept all the requests made by the Tuta people. Even if they mobilize our troops to help them suppress the rebellion, we will do it."

"Um."

This made Wen Xiangwu nodded twice with satisfaction. It was obvious that he had expected that the Tuta people would use this method to weaken our strength.

“What if we don’t want to do it?”

Wen Xiangwu was full of energy when he said this, and his eyes were shining. His posture was too obvious, so he almost posted a note on his head that "I don't want to be a vassal anymore." The emperor was also very excited, and it seemed that he had this heart.

"Uh...this...this is very troublesome."

I was about to answer, but suddenly I felt something was wrong.

Who is Wen Xiangwu? He is an old fox who has been struggling in politics for decades! No matter how smart I am, I am just a rookie in the political arena. What I can think of is something he can't think of?

However, no matter how much I think about it, my mouth did not stop when I think about it.

"With our current strength, it is difficult to get rid of the Tuta people. The key is that they lack troops. This problem is almost impossible to solve at the moment, because expanding the army is equivalent to sending a signal to the Tuta people that we are going to rebel. If the Tuta people were prepared for a long time, we would definitely suffer a great loss.

So for now, we cannot get rid of the Tuta people in one go. This requires a process, and there must be a chance. A Tuta people cannot take care of our opportunities. Before the opportunity comes, we can only wait. But the Tuta people cannot let us wait for the opportunity. They will definitely try their best to weaken our strength.

So there is only one thing we need to consider now, that is, how to preserve our strength while gaining the trust of the Tuta people. I think the best way for the Tuta people to weaken our strength at present is to mobilize our troops to help them fight the rebellion and let our elite forces die as much as possible on the battlefield.

The other thing is to ask us for money, resources, and weaken us economically. However, our country has always been very rich in resources. This method of weakening can only hurt our fur and cannot hurt our muscles like the previous method. But I think they will still do this. After all, if they want to quell the rebellion, they have to fight a war, and if they want to fight a war, they have to ask for money and resources."

Speaking of this, I stopped. I stopped mainly to take a break, and to organize my ideas so that I can continue to talk about it.

"I can think of only these two ways of weakening, so in my opinion, we have only two tasks. First, save our army and prevent them from being transferred by the Tuta people to fight against the rebellion, let them die on their own; second, save our money and resources, the Tuta people cannot get money and resources from us, and the progress of the rebellion will definitely be affected.

It is easy to say these two points, and it is difficult to say them. If you have something to say, you will never wake up a person who pretends to be sleepy, and you will never borrow money from a person who pretends to be poor. I think it is a good idea to pretend to be poor, but the Tuta people are not fools. They know that we have soldiers, money, and resources. If we don’t give them, they will definitely make trouble.

Pretending to be poor is a skill. The richer the more people are, the harder it is to pretend to be poor. We are very rich first, and it is basically impossible to pretend to be poor. So we can only change our method, not pretending to be poor, and modify it. This is like a loan shark who goes to a family to collect debts. When the debt collector arrives at the door of his house, he sees a family fighting there, and the fight is in a mess, and he can't stop it. How can he collect debts like this?"

When people talk too much, they will easily relax. In the end, I almost forgot who I was talking to. I used words casually, but I naturally spread my hands and looked at Wen Xiangwu and the emperor with inquiring eyes. Fortunately, both of them were paying attention to my words and did not notice this disrespectful action, otherwise I would at least be scolded by Wen Xiangwu.

"But... it's not easy to pretend." The emperor continued with a heavy expression, "If the wolf-aggressive people seize the opportunity, the country will be really unstable."

"That's why I said that I should make good use of this opportunity." Wen Xiangwu said calmly, "Yuanxing is the heart of Daxian. If Yuanxing is in chaos, it is equivalent to chaos in the whole country. Tuta people are not stupid, and rabbits are still biting people when they are anxious. Now they are in a civil strife. If we get angry, fight with them to the death. We will definitely be done by then, but they will be done too."

Let’s take a look! I said that this old fox had already thought of a solution!

But since he had already thought of a solution, why did he have to let me express his opinions? Is it to let me show it in front of the emperor and make him value me?

This emperor has no real power, so what's the use of asking him to pay attention to me?

Uh...not right!

He just said, "Give this opportunity a good idea." What does this opportunity mean? Could it be related to me?

Before I could figure it out, Wen Xiangwu's voice rang in my ears.

"A gunman! You said it yourself! Since you know what to do, you will do it. You are the protagonist of this mess. How big the mess should be caused by yourself!"
