Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 12 A compromise strategy
"His Majesty……"

Wu Meiniang had never experienced such an experience before, so she had to bury her face between Li Gan's shoulders and neck, not daring to move.

Summer clothes are light and thin, and Li Gan can clearly feel the soft heat coming from his body, and he can't help but feel a wave in his heart.

But Li Qian resisted the urge to feel Wu Meiniang's bare hands carefully.

'Hmm...a little rough...a little calloused in my hand...'

Li Qian looked down, and although he had been well maintained recently, he could vaguely see a few invisible scars on the back of his hands and fingers.

He suddenly had a guess in his mind.

If she had been raised in a deep mansion since she was a child, she would have smooth and delicate hands.

Now it seems that the warrior Xun should have died a long time ago, and Wu Meiniang and her mother suffered a lot outside.

'Even so...that may have nothing to do with Li Yuan...'

But there is still a mystery, since Wu Meiniang was expelled from the Wu family, what happened to this draft?

Li Gan let go of Wu Meiniang's hand, rubbing his brows silently.

When he entered the palace, it must have been written in the roster of beautiful ladies, but he was only looking at the beauties at that time, but he didn't hear what Wei Zhongxian was reading.

'I'll have to ask my companion...'

However, after going through this thought, Li Gan can feel relieved initially.

As for complete trust... it is absolutely impossible now.

"People's hearts are separated by belly, no matter what, it is difficult to fully understand... I just need to watch Wu Meiniang's whereabouts..."

For a long time.

If Wu Meiniang really worked for Li Yuan secretly, sooner or later her feet would be exposed.

After thinking about these things, he let out a long breath, and began to pay attention to the beauty in his arms again.

Wu Meiniang's body was warm, and she just lay in Li Gan's arms.

At this moment noon has passed, the inside of Doctor Liang's pavilion is extremely cool, and outside, there is a faint coolness in the cold pool.

Under such a double sky of ice and fire, Li Qian couldn't help being a little bit emotional and impulsive.

It's just that the environment here is open, and it's not very good if someone passes by and sees it.

And after taking off your clothes, if you catch a cold, it will be a big joke.

Li Gan supported Wu Meiniang's slippery shoulders, and pulled her to his side to lean against:

"Meiniang, my body is a little numb, change my posture first..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Meiniang hurriedly turned sideways and got down from Li Qian's chest, and stretched out her plain hand again: "Your Majesty, this concubine rubs it for you."

Li Gan frowned, and hurriedly pressed her hand: "There is no need to do this, I can just take my time."

"Meiniang, talk to me and say something."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Meiniang nodded obediently, and fixed her beautiful eyes on him.

At this moment, Li Gan was lying on the wooden platform, Wu Meiniang rested her head on Li Gan's shoulder, and a jade arm wrapped around his waist.

Li Qian could still feel a burst of warmth coming from his side, and Wu Meiniang's hair rubbed his neck a little itchy.

He took a few breaths of cool air, thought for a while, and asked bluntly: "Does Mei Niang know about the recent wars between Wu and Yue?"

Wu Meiniang still didn't know Li Gan's intention, so she replied honestly: "The concubine knows."

"Because of this war, the Wuyue silk cloth sold in Beijing has become more expensive."

The silk from Wuyue and Yue is the top grade in Daqian, and it is very popular among the common people.

"Yes."

Li Gan sighed softly, frowned and continued:
"The State of Yue is not the opponent of the State of Wu. It has already been invaded and is about to be destroyed. They came to ask for help..."

As if he was just a husband coming home from court, chatting casually about today's work, pouring out his troubles...

"Anyway, civil servants and military generals are sticking to their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone."

Li Gan said rather annoyedly: "If this continues, I will have to get up early every day to accompany them to court."

Wu Meiniang had been quietly listening to Li Gan's words just now.

After Li Qian finished speaking, she looked a bit hesitant, as if she didn't know what to say or not.

Li Gan seemed to feel her state of mind, and grabbed Wu Meiniang's hand again with a big hand, and continued to ask: "Meiniang thinks I should listen to those civil servants? Or listen to those generals?"

Wu Meiniang was silent for a while, then hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine... I don't know..."

"What do you know about this? Just say what you want to say."

Li Qian smiled lightly and squeezed Wu Meiniang's hand: "Now it's not the court, and you and I are not monarchs or ministers."

"I just complained to you, but I didn't think of a good plan."

Wu Meiniang is still a strong woman by nature, these words just made her feel a bit competitive.

She raised her head and looked at Li Qian fixedly: "Your Majesty, my concubine really has some stupid opinions."

"Ok?"

Li Qian smiled and said indifferently: "Then I will listen to it."

Seeing him like this, Wu Meiniang straightened her body with her hands and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is best to rescue the Yue Kingdom."

"How can it be so simple?"

Li Qian shook his head lightly: "First of all, civil servants will not agree."

"Even if we managed to convince those civil servants, Marshal Zhao, General Yang and Tang Guogong would definitely argue endlessly."

But Wu Meiniang looked into Li Gan's eyes, and said slowly: "It's not about letting generals lead the army, but lending troops to the Yue Kingdom. All the money, food and salaries will be borne by the Yue Kingdom."

Li Qian wanted to refute subconsciously, but he stopped when he reached his mouth.

Leading soldiers, borrowing soldiers, the difference is one word.

But the meaning is quite different!
Seeing that Li Gan was stunned, Wu Meiniang continued to explain: "Your Majesty, my concubine can't see through the minds of those adults in the court, but just now when your majesty mentioned the words of Lord Wei Zhengwei, my concubine suddenly understood."

"It's not that the civil servants don't want to send troops, but they are afraid of the generals and don't want them to send troops. And the Yue Kingdom leads the soldiers of the court, isn't it just a solution to this problem?"

Li Gan was stunned when he heard this, and felt that this was becoming more and more feasible, so he couldn't help but patted the back of Wu Meiniang's hand: "Meiniang, continue."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Meiniang got Li Qian's approval, a slight excitement appeared on her face, and then disappeared without a trace.

She continued: "Your Majesty just said that civil servants excused themselves on the pretext that the treasury was empty and that they were wasting people's money. Now that they are sending troops, the money and food are all in the hands of the Yue Kingdom. So do they have any reason to evade?"

Li Qian nodded slowly: "Civilian officials have no reason to obstruct, and Yue Guo will definitely agree to this method."

The land of Wu and Yue is rich and prosperous. If Yue was asked to choose between paying money and food or being destroyed by Wu, they would definitely choose the former.

This time without Wu Meiniang going on, Li Gan automatically thought of the reactions of the generals.

"Now you can send troops to quell the chaos, punish Wu, and boost the court's crisis. Naturally, they can't refuse."

"Moreover, this borrowing of troops cannot be done from just one person. The Marshal, the General and Tang Guogong must take care of it..."

After thinking about it, Li Qian's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that this strategy was feasible.

Wu Meiniang smiled coquettishly in Li Gan's arms: "Your Majesty is wise, and my concubine should feel ashamed."

Li Gan was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, and slapped her on the buttocks: "How dare you laugh at me? Please!"
