Lu Zhi looked at the ministers with burning eyes.
At this time, she was completely acting like a feudal old queen.
Majestic, solemn, complex... there is a hint of rigidity and decrepit flavor.
Except for her appearance, which was still the same as when she was young, Wen Rensheng could think of the photos of Cixi in her previous life just by looking at her whole body and temperament.
Wen Rensheng was completely unable to connect her with Hei Changzhi, the former middle schooler who soared to the sky and wanted to destroy the universe and restart the world.
"What can you do?" she asked coldly.
The Seventh First Assistant silently held the fountain of youth in his arms for reincarnation. He had developed this good habit since he was almost captured and chopped by horse bandits in his reincarnation.
"Since the Empress Dowager was informed, the old minister thought that he should send a telegram as soon as possible, ordering all the coastal passes to be strictly guarded, to organize military affairs and forts, to recruit brave men, to prepare food and fodder, to hold on, and to wait for the imperial court to purchase new warships before planning a counterattack." The Ministry of War said.
The minister spoke boldly.
This is not a good idea, but it is the safest way at present.
The ministers who can stand here, if nothing else, at least have a correct stance and are willing to consider the court.
After all, the imperial court is gone and their fountain of youth is gone. This is the greatest unity of interests.
Other properties and power were all in vain, and after several reincarnations, they were all looked away from.
As long as the court is there and the Queen Mother is there, everything is fine.
"Any other suggestions?" Of course Lu Zhi was not satisfied with this turtle plan.
When will the new ship be launched? It will definitely not be possible without three years of work.
The newly purchased warships cannot become combat effectiveness.
"I am reporting to the Queen Mother, using barbarians to control barbarians, and teeth to make millet. I have long heard that the Daya people and the Daya people are fighting at sea, but the Daya people are running out of military expenditures and have shown their decline. If we send people to contact the Daya people at this time, hire
With their troops, horses and fleets, I believe they are willing to contain the Dasu people for us. Of course, this is only a temporary measure, the fundamental plan is to establish our own new navy." Cisuke said.
"But, I'll leave this matter to you." Lu Zhi nodded.
Isn’t it just a matter of selling thousands of bottles of cyanide?
She doesn't care.
If she hadn't considered that Maoqiu was too lazy and didn't want to go abroad, she would have wanted to expand her business all over the world.
I was richer then.
The fountain of youth is only effective on the land of the Eastern imperial court. This is very evil.
But everyone can also understand that the royal family will definitely impose restrictions on these potions.
Just like other people would die after drinking it, the Queen Mother would stay young forever after drinking it.
…………
Money can make a fool of himself, and as soon as the money came out, Daya Ren's ambassador to Beijing came to see him immediately.
It was followed by a grand ceremony of three kneels and nine kowtows.
In front of money, there is no etiquette at all. It is nonsense to say that you can only kneel to God and not to the king.
It's just that people find you too weak. People can just come in and take away your money, so why are you still begging on your knees?
Now the imperial court still has enough strength.
"Big-Tooth Messenger Andrew, I have met the Queen Mother, long live the Queen Mother." The red-haired and blue-eyed Big-Tooth Messenger Andrew V knelt on the ground respectfully and shouted.
He has lived in the capital for five lifetimes, and he expects to continue living there forever.
In fact, many wealthy people in Daya lived in the imperial court.
The property and body are no longer in Daya. If you think about it, you will know why Daya failed.
If all the wealthiest members of a country are gone, where will the military funds come from?
"Get up, Ai Jia asks you, what can you do if barbarians like the Su Kingdom invade our border?" Lu Zhi asked directly without any nonsense.
"It's simple. As long as the Holy Dynasty issues an order prohibiting the sale of the spring water of youth to the Su people and prohibiting the Su people from living on the territory under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, their parliament will immediately be in chaos, and someone will propose a bill to temporarily stop the war against the Holy Dynasty.
." But the Big Tooth Messenger came up with a completely new angle.
Feudal bureaucrats have long understood the strategy of trade embargo, such as embargoing iron and salt to deal with the grasslands, but these are long-term strategies and cannot be effective in a short time.
It's just that they don't understand the Western power operation model, so they fail to grasp the root cause and only respond according to traditional war strategies.
"I see." Lu Zhi suddenly realized that there was no need to panic at all, because she held the biggest card in the world.
No, it’s impossible that the Su people didn’t know that they would embargo the Fountain of Youth, so why did they still attack themselves?
"Envoy, don't the Su people know that if a war breaks out, they will be embargoed by the Fountain of Youth? Why do they dare to offend Tianyan?" At this time, the Minister of Rites asked this question.
"This, this..." Big Tooth Messenger was a little embarrassed.
"But it doesn't matter, the Aijia will forgive you."
"Actually, it's because a scholar from the Dun family appeared among the Su people. After rigorous chemical analysis experiments, he believes that the fountain of youth you sell is a poison that can see blood and seal the throat. It is not a longevity medicine at all. The person who takes it can be reincarnated and retain his memory.
, there are other reasons. They actively support the war, on the surface it is for trade and commerce, but in fact these big shots hope to find the real fountain of youth from the Celestial Empire through war." The Big Tooth Messenger lowered his head and said.
I see.
Lu Zhi was stunned.
The people of Suzhou have made rapid scientific progress, made great progress in chemistry, and have cracked the essence of the fountain of youth.
And because they couldn't solve the mystery of reincarnation memory, they thought that the fountains of youth sold by the Celestial Empire were all fake.
The real fountain of youth was only found within the imperial court.
It definitely won't work through ordinary methods, and hundreds of years have proven this.
The only way is to fight until the court has to admit defeat and hand over the real Fountain of Youth.
This is their real motive for war, or for Westerners to understand Westerners.
"So that's it. These hypocrites are just like the people in the Ministry of Rites! They speak grandly every time, but they always ask for money." A minister suddenly said.
The Minister of Rites glared at the guy fiercely.
However, Lu Zhi knew completely in his heart that the other party had grasped the truth of the problem.
It's not bad to have kept it secret for nearly four hundred years.
However, she will continue to hide it.
"Damn it," she said with an angry look on her face, "Whoever makes the Ai family unhappy for one day will be unhappy for the rest of his life! Don't they want to get their hands on the sacred objects? Then let them do it!"
"Is there any dear friend who is willing to conquer this beast for the Ai family?"
As she spoke, her whole body trembled, and a feminine power spread throughout the court.
Everyone was fighting, almost wanting to leave first.
Well, instead of scaring the Westerners, I scared my own ministers away first.
After a while, a soldier from the military department raised his head and said, "I am going to tell the Queen Mother that I am a humble minister but I am not very talented. I am willing to pay the grain in five years!"
Lu Zhi looked at him and pulled out an earplug from his ear.
Through the curtain, no one could see her actions.
[The Queen Mother is so angry that she can be promoted if she speaks big words. Such an opportunity is rarely found.]
[No, it is said that the Queen Mother can see through people's hearts.]
[I, Yan Feng, the ninth generation, devote my whole heart to the Celestial Empire, my whole heart to the Queen Mother, and my whole heart to the Lord Shangshu.]
After hearing this, Lu Zhi looked grim, but for the first time in his life, he did not draw his sword.
