The old man frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Holy girl, have you really identified that Mr. Song?"
Liu Qinglian nodded and said: "From the moment he brazenly said that he was my old friend, I recognized him.
She is good-looking, has a rich background, is strong, and is shameless. She is a perfect match for me, the White Lotus Witch in the eyes of the world!"
The old man rubbed his forehead helplessly. How should he persuade the White Lotus Saint to inspire her ambition to fight for the world?
"By the way, don't call him Song Gongzi from now on. Please call him Holy Lord. Do you understand?"
The old man nodded helplessly, pointed to the letter on the table, and said: "So, Saint, are you worried about Zhou Zhiruo of the Emei Sect now?"
Liu Qinglian said: "This woman is really capable. In order to complete the task for my brother, she killed her master, and her face was scratched. She is helpless and weak. Even if my brother is hard-hearted, he will probably be tempted."
If I don’t go back, my position as future queen will have absolutely nothing to do with me!”
The old man said quickly: "Holy girl, you must stay in the army and cannot leave easily. Besides, even if you go back now, you will only be inferior to others. If not, it will also arouse the resentment of the Holy Lord."
"Then what should I do?" Liu Qinglian said worriedly: "My master has been gone for a long time, and I can't kill him to gain sympathy. Otherwise, I will also draw a mark on my face?"
"No need, no need!" the old man quickly advised: "The wisdom of picking up people's teeth will eventually fall into the inferior category!"
"This won't work, that won't work, then you should give me an idea quickly!"
The old man sighed and said: "Holy girl, you always have a clear mind when leading the army in battle, but why do you lose your sense of proportion when it comes to emotions? You want to be the queen after the Holy Lord ascends the throne. It is actually very simple!"
"Say it quickly!"
The old man hurriedly said: "The position of queen is related to the world and the country, not a private matter of heaven. If you want to get that position, it also depends on merit!
Zhou Zhi assassinated the leader of the Jiangxi rebel army, causing chaos in Jiangxi and relieving the Holy Lord's worries. This was a great achievement.
But if you, the Holy Maiden, make up half of the kingdom for the Holy Lord, then in terms of merit, who in the world will have greater merit than you? If you want to be the queen, who in the civil and military circles of the dynasty would dare to object?
Even if the Holy Lord is the emperor, he must have the opinions of the people in the civil and military world, right?"
When he said this, Liu Qinglian was immediately overjoyed, "Sir, you are right, I was confused!"
Seeing that the saint's fighting spirit rose again, the old man smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and felt a little proud.
If we really conquer half of the country by then, it’s hard to say who will take the throne in this world.
"I will order the army to prepare for war now. When spring comes next year, I will go north to attack and fight to the death with the main force of the Yuan army!"
Phew~~
The old man spit out a sip of tea and said in surprise: "Holy girl, are you serious?"
How big of a brain does this woman have to think of a decisive battle with the Yuan army?
"Of course I'm serious!"
Liu Qinglian said with a serious face: "Just leave the provinces south of the Yangtze River to my brother to take care of. And I want to gnaw the most difficult bones in the north for him. When the time comes, who will dare to stop the queen?
I?
Zhou Zhiruo? Humph! What’s the use of those clever tricks! This saint is going to defeat ten groups with one force! No matter what your plots and tricks are, suppress them all!"
After finishing speaking, she patted the old man on the shoulder with great satisfaction and said: "Sir, you are indeed a great talent. You can see the key to the problem at a glance! Okay, I will summon the generals of the army to discuss the matter now!"
Watching Liu Qinglian leave in a hurry, the old man sat on the chair dejectedly.
"Princess Princess, didn't you say that the White Lotus Saint is easy to fool?"
"It's true that it's easy to fool, but I was fooled!"
The mission given to him by the princess was to deceive Liu Qinglian and the Jiangnan rebels into fighting each other, but he was deceived into going north to fight the main force of the Yuan army.
If the princess knew about this, would she still be able to skin him?
After sitting in a chair and thinking for a long time, the old man gritted his teeth and said, Madam, go to hell with the princess, I quit!
Since Yuan Ting can no longer tolerate me, I will assist this White Lotus Saint and kill you Yuan Ting completely!
Most.
The last imperial meeting of the year before was held.
Emperor Yuan Shun looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and felt quite good.
Although there is chaos in the world, the Ming army, the biggest rebel, has been beaten by Totuo Buhua and fled in embarrassment. After all, this world is still the world of the Mongols, and no one can take it away!
"Your Majesty, I request you to lead the troops to march south in the coming spring!"
"Going south?"
Tuotuo Buhua's words immediately caused many ministers in the DPRK to express their opposition.
"Marshal Tuotuo, my main enemy in Dayuan is the Ming army. Now that the traitor Xiao Ming Wang has not been dealt with, he is about to go south. Are you going to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
"That's right, the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as the north. Our cavalry of Dayuan cannot be deployed. If there is some loss and the Ming army invades again, what should we do?"
"Marshal Tuotuo, it's hard to get such a great joy!"
Many important ministers said one after another that they didn't care about the country and the country. As long as it didn't affect the enjoyment of nobles like them, they didn't care about the safety of the imperial court.
It would do them no good at all if Tuotuo Buhua led his army south.
Even if the army completely captures the entire south of the Yangtze River, so what? The resources looted and plundered will either go into the national treasury or into the pockets of the military generals, and they, the civilian officials, will not get any profit.
On the contrary, maintaining the status quo of Jiangnan provinces will be more effective for them.
If the world is not peaceful, then the warlords from various places will be willing to pay to honor them. If the world is peaceful, how can they get the benefits in their turn?
Tuotuo Buhua looked at the opposing courtiers and couldn't help but glare angrily.
These bitches are greedy for small profits and have no regard for the safety of the imperial court. They deserve to be damned.
He knew very well why these people did not want him to send troops south.
But there are some things that he dare not say directly.
If he said it out loud, it would be a situation of internal fighting between civil and military forces. With the current precarious situation of the court, it really cannot withstand large-scale internal fighting between parties.
Seeing Emperor Yuan Shun's hesitant expression, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua persuaded him again.
"Your Majesty, the Ming army has been huddled in northern Shaanxi and other places, and it is impossible to recover in a few years. Your Majesty can send a general to guard northern Shaanxi to prevent the Ming army from escaping!
And I, I will command the army to go south and take the opportunity to clean up all the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River!"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and gave Emperor Yuan Shun a completely irresistible temptation.
"Your Majesty, there will be a bumper harvest of food in various places in the south of the Yangtze River this year. I have accumulated a lot of money and grain. This time I will lead my army south and return with a full load! It will be enough for your Majesty to build several more palaces!"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yuan Shun's eyes suddenly lit up and he made a decision on the spot.
"Pass the decree to appoint Tuotuo Buhua as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. In the coming spring, we will go south to quell the rebellion. All departments in the imperial court must fully cooperate!"
