Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

"Father!" Before Xiao Chenyi could say anything, Xiao Hua rushed in front of him and stood between Xiao Chenyi and the emperor, preventing them from looking at each other.

"Father, let's put one thing first. Let's settle the bet between me and him first." Xiao Hua was very sure that he had won. As for what Xiao Chenyi said in the manuscript, he didn't bother to care.

Anyway, get out of the capital first!

If you don’t get out, there’s no point in talking!

"Your Highness... Your Highness..." Lord Fang was obsessed with the important task of promoting agriculture through sericulture and weaving cloth. Seeing that the Fourth Prince repeatedly blocked Xiao Chenyi's way of speaking, he became so anxious that he stuttered. Isn't this just making trouble?

Why is the Fourth Prince like this?

Who is he doing this for? Isn't it for your Xiao family's world?

"Go away!" The emperor was also annoyed.

No matter who wins, he would like to cancel the bet between the two brothers.

Does this brat know that he has lost? I finally have a chance to help him escape, why does this brat still hold on to it? Does he really want to leave the capital?

"Father!" Xiao Hua shouted indignantly, "Father has always taught us to keep our word, why are you still delaying giving an answer? Is it because he is the late queen's son that Father wants to protect him regardless of principles?"

"You..." The emperor was so angry that he almost laughed.

Boy! Since you want to get out so badly, I'll do as you wish!

"Xiao Chenyi's answer is obviously much more comprehensive than yours." The emperor sneered and raised the stack of papers that Xiao Chenyi had. "You are not blind, can't you see it?"

"Father!" Xiao Hua was really angry, and a little aggrieved. "Does the correctness of the answer depend on the number of words? Does that mean that if I write more words from memory, I will win?"

"Where do you think this place is? Is it me who can't read, or is it Lord Fang who can't read?" The emperor didn't expect his son to be so stubborn. Isn't he too stupid?

"Second brother, read to him what Chen Yi wrote!"

"Yes!" The second prince took a few steps forward in confusion, took the manuscript written by Xiao Chenyi from the emperor, and was about to read it when he was stopped by Xiao Chenyi.

"No!" Xiao Chenyi suddenly remembered Yun Xi's words.

"Your Majesty, this is a major industrial secret of our country. Before it is successfully promoted on a large scale, I think it is best not to disclose it to the public. If our silk production develops well, it can be sold to neighboring countries and bring us considerable income. It can even be used as a gift for exchanges between countries."

Yun Xi once said that the silk industry must and will definitely become the country's key industry and will make a huge contribution to the country's prosperity.

It was he who was careless.

Because of the bet, these secrets were revealed to outsiders. Because of the bet, they almost told these to everyone present.

Of course the emperor should know about this, and the people in the manufacturing bureau should have known about this as well.

But the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince knew who they were? Without being able to ensure whether they were loyal to their country, Xiao Chenyi did not want to take any risks.

"Prince Chen is right!" Lord Fang slapped his thigh and immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter must be kept confidential in the initial stage. Even if it is promoted in the future, some key links should be kept confidential as much as possible. Silk can be sold at a good price and will definitely bring a lot of tax revenue to the court." Lord Fang's eyes lit up.

What he cares most about is whether the country is rich.

What Xiao Chenyi wrote made him feel as if he could see the booming economy of their Dali country.

Planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms will benefit farmers, while spinning, weaving and dyeing will benefit workers in workshops. Merchants will also make a profit by selling finished silk.

It can be said that this is an industrial chain that benefits agriculture, industry and commerce. Full coverage!

The more Lord Fang thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to pull Xiao Chenyi along and start doing it right away!

Why doesn't the Fourth Prince quickly get out of the way? What is he still doing making noises in front?

The emperor was also moved by Lord Fang's emotions, and his face began to turn red: "Okay! Lord Fang, go back and write a memorial, and I will definitely approve it for you."

When the silk industry is fully developed, history books will surely record his great achievements as an emperor who was brave enough to explore and take the first courageous step!

"Father, what are you talking about? How do we deal with this bet?" Xiao Hua was a little unhappy.

Why is it so difficult to make Xiao Chenyi fulfill his bet and leave?

"Fourth brother, how do you think the bet should be settled?" The emperor looked at him and asked.

"Of course you have to accept defeat. Whoever loses should do as you are told!" Xiao Hua said loudly.

Xiao Chenyi is so scheming!

Just now, the second prince almost exposed his secret, but he stopped him again.

The situation is very troublesome now. Both the emperor and Lord Fang are helping him. If he insists that he lost, will the emperor also help him and let him leave the capital?

Xiao Hua began to feel nervous, which was rare.

He realized that there was no one in the entire hall who stood on the same front with him!

The second and third princes all wanted to fight for the throne, so they were of course eager for Xiao Chenyi to leave. But if he left, they would probably be happy too, because no matter who left, it would mean one less opponent for them. So, they would just watch from the sidelines and not help anyone.

And my father and Lord Fang clearly stood on Xiao Chenyi's side.

The remaining eunuchs will only help the emperor.

"Here's the bet." Xiao Chenyi took out the previous bet, "Fourth brother, do you want to think about it again? Do you really want to fulfill the contract?"

"A man of honor should stick to his word!" Xiao Hua gritted his teeth and looked at him.

You bastard! I have made this bet! You made it in triplicate, why are you shaking it?

But Xiao Chenyi is a man with too many tricks up his sleeve, and it's impossible to guard against him! We must be careful with him!

Xiao Hua couldn't help but be alert. He was too childish just now! He almost fooled me!

"No matter who loses, they must accept the defeat." Xiao Hua stared at Xiao Chenyi and said through gritted teeth. He spoke every word with great force to ensure that Xiao Chenyi heard it clearly.

He must remind this guy that it's written in black and white, and there are witnesses and evidence, so don't try to cheat!

Xiao Chenyi calmly placed the gambling agreement signed by him and the Fourth Prince on the table, tapped it with his hand, and said coldly, "It's written in black and white. Please keep your promise and leave the capital."

The fourth prince was in disbelief, his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "How could you openly confuse right and wrong in front of so many people?"

His voice broke because he was so surprised.

Damn it! How shameless! I've never seen anything like this before!

Lord Fang looked at the two of them in confusion, then wisely kept silent, lowering his head and saying nothing. Years of experience had shown that it was not easy for a minister to participate in a bet between princes.

It's best not to get involved. Anyway, it's fine as long as Xiao Chenyi doesn't leave.
