At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

When Ren Hao arrived at the door of the hall with doubts, he paused.

In the hall, Xu Qing stood next to the desk, with five people sitting around him.

One of them had a serious face and exuded a meticulous aura from head to toe. Even his sitting posture was very upright. It was obvious at first glance that he was the kind of person who would not tolerate any flaws in his eyes and would absolutely follow the rules when doing things.

This person must be Li Cang, the leader of the Tiger-Slaying Army!

Next to Li Cang was a big man who was much bigger than him. His body was like an iron tower, standing like a city wall, giving people a feeling of bravery and invincibility.

This person must be Jiang Yunfeng, the leader of the Tieli Army!

Opposite Jiang Yunfeng was an old man with half black and half white hair. He had a calm face, without the cold murderous aura, nor the gentleness of a Confucian scholar. He seemed just an ordinary old man.

But Ren Hao knew that this person must be the mature and steady veteran Sun Wei.

Next to Sun Wei was a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar, holding a feather fan and looking like he had mastered a lot of wisdom.

Sitting a little further away from the crowd, was a breathtakingly beautiful woman, Wen Yan!

"Who are you! Get out!" Wen Yan shouted in a deep voice the moment he saw Ren Hao.

Jiang Yunfeng, who was as strong as an iron tower, scratched his head: "Is he not a spy? Let me catch him and beat him up!"

Jiang Yunfeng stood up and was about to walk towards Ren Hao, but was stopped by Li Cang beside him: "Yunfeng, the young commander hasn't spoken yet, watch your words and actions!"

Jiang Yunfeng snorted, glanced at Xu Qing who had no expression on his face, then sat down awkwardly.

Sun Wei just glanced at Ren Hao briefly and ignored him, sitting there calmly.

Only the middle-aged scholar looked at Ren Hao with interest, waved his feather fan and said, "Don't mind it, sir. Please come in."

Ren Hao's gaze fell on Xu Qing, only to see that there was no expression on Xu Qing's face, as if she was a husband-waiting stone, petrified.

After a moment of hesitation, Ren Hao walked into the hall. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ren Hao suddenly pulled out the stool next to Wen Yan and sat down on it.

Seeing that the teacup on Wen Yan's desk seemed untouched, Ren Hao took it over and took a sip without hesitation, then said, "Sorry, I'm a little thirsty. Since you don't drink anyway, I don't dislike you."

Wen Yan was furious, his eyes twitching wildly, but in the end, for some reason, he held back and did not lash out. However, his murderous sharp gaze kept moving back and forth on Ren Hao's face.

"Mr. Ren, I'm Zhuge Xuanji, and I'm honored to meet you." The middle-aged scholar stood up and bowed to Ren Hao.

Ren Hao also quickly stood up and clasped his fists in return: "Mr. Zhuge, you are too polite."

The two men sat down, and Ren Hao's eyes fell on Zhuge Xuanji, waiting for him to continue speaking.

But Zhuge Xuanji didn't say anything, but just drank his tea.

Ren Hao's eyes moved, but he also didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the cup and drank tea.

You take a sip, I take a sip, the two of them seem to be competing to see who can hold their urine, or drinking tea with air as if it were wine, until the water in the teapot in the maid's hand was gone, Zhuge Xuanji said: "Young master is indeed extraordinary! Just this skill of nourishing qi is extraordinary! I admire you."

Ren Hao smiled slightly: "I'm going to pee..."

Zhuge Xuanji's face suddenly froze, and then he smiled.

Disgust appeared on Wen Yan's pretty face. To hear such foul language uttered in public was really offensive to the ears!

After using the toilet in the toilet behind the hall, Ren Hao walked out leisurely and sat on the chair.

Zhuge Xuanji took a deep breath and said, "Master Ren, I heard from the young commander that you have a way to make money?"

"What do you mean?" Ren Hao raised his eyebrows and then glanced at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing spread his hands, looking innocent.

Zhuge Xuanji shook his feather fan and chuckled, "Sir, I believe you know that our army is currently short of money and food. If you are willing to help, it will not only be a chance to repay the country, but also a role model for the world. In the future, you will be praised by the world, and the court will also reward you. At least you will be a fifth-rank official!"

Hearing Zhuge Xuanji's words, Ren Hao immediately waved his hands: "No, I won't give it to you even if I have it!"

"Why?" Zhuge Xuanji raised his eyebrows. "Sir, do you know that once the War God Pass is breached, the ancient Han will be doomed! How can an egg remain intact when the nest is overturned? Even if you want to stay out of it, you can't escape the slaughter of the ancient Wei."

"If you can contribute your efforts now, and then be granted a title of nobility, and have your descendants flourish for generations, wouldn't that be better?"

"First of all, let me correct you on one point!" Ren Hao raised a finger and shook it, saying calmly, "First, even if the nest is overturned, it is not necessarily that all the eggs will remain intact. Even if Gu Wei breaks through the War God Pass and Gu Han disappears, it has nothing to do with me."

Zhuge Xuanji frowned immediately, and Wen Yan next to him looked at him with disdain.

"Second!" Ren Hao continued, "Without a rule that will last for thousands of years, conferring titles of nobility will only bring disaster to future generations. Among the many titles of nobility at the beginning of the ancient Han Dynasty, how many are left now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xuanji's face suddenly changed. The ancient Han Dynasty had been founded for nearly two hundred years. There were many titles at the beginning of the country, but over the past hundred years, some were killed and some were chopped off, leaving only two or three small fish, and their lives were not very good.

"Third..." Ren Hao stood up and looked at everyone: "Don't you think the emperor is playing tricks on you?"

"presumptuous!"

"Be bold!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Ren Hao!"

Everyone present stood up immediately, either cursing or trying to dissuade them.

Openly insulting the emperor is truly outrageous!

Only Wen Yan next to Ren Hao was still sitting, but her face was filled with a hint of cold murderous intent and was extremely gloomy.

"Mr. Ren, don't talk nonsense! Be careful not to get into trouble!" Zhuge Xuanji said in a deep voice.

Ren Hao sneered: "Provoke? I've been provoked a long time ago!"

"Let me ask you, have you ever seen the emperor?"

Hearing Ren Hao's words, Zhuge Xuanji's face changed slightly, but he still said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen it."

"What about you?" Ren Hao looked at everyone.

Everyone shook their heads or remained silent.

"You are all the most loyal ministers of Gu Han, but you have never even seen the emperor. I heard that the emperor rarely shows his face all year round, so almost no one has seen him, right?" Ren Hao asked.

He heard all this from Xu Qing, so the authenticity can be guaranteed.

Seeing everyone silent, Ren Hao said again: "As an emperor, you can't even raise enough money to pay the soldiers who guard the border. Do you want the soldiers to fight on an empty stomach?"

"The emperor has been on the throne for less than eight years, and the treasury is empty, people's livelihood is in decline, and the people are living in misery. The people can't even fill their stomachs. Is there any emperor like this?"

“But natural disasters, man-made disasters, and invasions by enemy countries are also unpredictable…” Zhuge Xuanji said gritting his teeth.

"Bullshit! Why would the enemy invade at this time? Let me ask you, the ancient Wei had already been silent for half a year before this, why did it attack at this time?" Ren Hao asked with a sneer.
