The best ring

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Yun had always been pessimistic about the war between their Nanping Kingdom and Heishui Kingdom. Before the war, he had tried his best to persuade Wu Ya to negotiate with Heishui Kingdom. Now, when he heard that a messenger came from Shanling Pass, the first thing he thought of was that the news of the defeat had finally arrived.

"Yes." Jiao Zhiyuan immediately echoed: "Your Majesty summoned us so anxiously, it must be that Wu Fan lost the battle on the front line, and the defeat must be very miserable. Now he urgently summoned us just to discuss the aftermath."

"The villain is ruining the country!" Qin Wei, the Minister of Personnel, sighed deeply and said with resentment on his face.

Although Qin Wei did not try his best to persuade Wu Ya to negotiate before, he was also pessimistic about the war.

Liu Zhenyan glanced at the three people with a calm face.

As for Zhao Xingnian, who had always firmly supported Wu Ya, his brows were furrowed and his face was full of worry.

"Master Cai, why don't you speak?" Jiang Yun looked at Cai Cheng, who had been silent all the time, and asked.

Since the few people met, Cai Cheng had not spoken a word, which was obviously a bit abnormal. After all, Wu Fan became the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and he completely sidelined Cai Cheng. Among the few people, Cai Cheng must hate Wu Fan the most. Now, Jiang Yun and others are scolding Wu Fan, and Cai Cheng should not be so quiet.

"I'm fine." Cai Cheng shook his head.

"Master Cai, your face doesn't look good." Jiang Yun said.

"Yes, Master Cai, I noticed that you don't look very good recently. Are you sick?" Jiao Zhiyuan also said.

"I said it's okay, why are you talking so much?" Cai Cheng said impatiently, and then left a few people and walked towards the palace alone.

Seeing this, several people looked at each other.

"What's wrong with him? Why is he so angry?" Jiang Yun said in a daze.

"Who knows?" Jiao Zhiyuan said, "Maybe it's because Wu Fan has sidelined him."

"But now Wu Fan has lost the battle, and his chance to turn things around has come. He should be happy. Why does he still look like his parents have died?" Jiang Yun said puzzledly.

Obviously, Cai Cheng's unreasonable anger at them just now made Jiang Yun very upset, and he was not so polite when he spoke.

Jiao Zhiyuan shook his head, saying that he couldn't figure it out.

"Don't forget his identity." Liu Zhenyan suddenly said lightly.

"His identity? What identity? A Minister of War who has been sidelined?" Jiang Yun mocked.

"He is indeed sidelined by His Majesty now, but don't forget that he has been the Minister of War for many years, and he has been in the army for many years. The news in the army is more informed than us." Liu Zhenyan said lightly.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yun didn't seem to understand what Liu Zhenyan meant.

Liu Zhenyan smiled, said nothing more, and walked forward.

"Hey, explain clearly what you mean, don't leave." Jiang Yun looked at Liu Zhenyan.

The remaining few people listened to Liu Zhenyan's words, and their faces showed thoughtfulness. Zhao Xingnian's frown seemed to relax a little, and Qin Wei no longer complained about Wu Fan. As for Jiao Zhiyuan, his face was slightly ugly, and there was a little bit of disbelief in the ugliness.

Zhao Xingnian looked at Qin Wei and said, "Old Qin, let's go too."

"Yeah." Qin Wei nodded, looked at Zhao Xingnian, hesitated for a moment and said, "Old Zhao, you said, Wu Fan really has the possibility..."

"Won't you know when you meet His Majesty?" Zhao Xingnian said.

"Yes, let's go."

Then, Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei walked towards the palace together.

"What do you mean, all of you?" Jiang Yun seemed to have not reacted yet. He looked at Jiao Zhiyuan who had not left yet and said, "What does the surname Liu mean? How come you all seem to understand it?"

"He means... Forget it, let's go into the palace too. When we meet His Majesty, we will know everything." After saying that, Jiao Zhiyuan walked towards the palace without waiting for Jiang Yun.

"Hey, why are you talking halfway? What do you mean? Wait for me." Jiang Yun saw Jiao Zhiyuan leave halfway through his words, and couldn't help but feel angry and anxious.

"Stupid." Jiao Zhiyuan, who had his back to Jiang Yun, whispered to himself, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

The six ministers came to the palace with different moods, and saw Wu Ya, who was full of joy, in the imperial study.

Without waiting for Wu Ya to speak, the six people just looked at Wu Ya's expression and figured out some things. Even Jiang Yun, who was confused before, seemed to understand something at this time, and the faces of the six people changed.

"Knock your majesty." No matter what they thought in their hearts, the six people saluted Wu Ya at the same time after seeing her.

"Get up." Wu Ya said in a brisk tone: "Six adults, I summoned you to the palace today because there was news from Shanling Pass. Can you guess what the news is?"

The great victory at Shanling Pass relieved Wu Ya's pressure. She was in a good mood and was in the mood to joke with several ministers.

"Seeing that your majesty is so happy, I guess there must be good news from Shanling Pass." Zhao Xingnian said.

The others did not speak at the first time because of their own thoughts.

"Lord Zhao is really smart." Wu Ya's smile became even brighter. She signaled to the eunuch next to her and handed the memorial sent by Pei Yu to several ministers for circulation. She said, "There is indeed good news from Shanling Pass. We won! Moreover, the victory was very beautiful. Wu Fan did not disappoint our expectations. He won a beautiful victory at Shanling Pass and almost wiped out the army of the Black Water Kingdom, while our own casualties were extremely limited."

When Wu Ya spoke, her face was full of pride. She was deeply proud of Wu Fan. Wu Fan could achieve such a result. Whether in public or in private, she was happier than anyone else.

Even though they had guessed and prepared in their hearts, the six people were still shocked when they heard Wu Ya's words. After the memorial was handed to Zhao Xingnian, the other ministers also gathered around and couldn't wait to see the contents of the memorial.

After seeing the contents of the memorial clearly, several people changed their colors. The difference was that some people were full of joy, some were surprised, some were unbelievable, and some were vicious and angry.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. God bless our Nanping Kingdom. With such a victory, the Black Water Kingdom will not dare to attack us for ten years!" Zhao Xingnian said to Wu Ya with a happy face.

Among the six ministers, Zhao Xingnian has always been a clear supporter of Wu Ya. When Wu Ya felt the pressure from inside and outside the court, Zhao Xingnian was also under great pressure. After all, he strongly recommended Wu Ya to the position. Now, with the news of the great victory at Shanling Pass, Wu Ya's pressure suddenly decreased, and Zhao Xingnian's pressure also disappeared.
