The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

As soon as Zhu Ren arrived at the imperial study, he threw away his cane and pointed at Ling Muxiao's nose in indignation.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?

Since ancient times, when faced with those rebels, we would grab our weapons, mobilize the entire country, and beat them up. How could we ever sit down and have tea and chat?

You...are you going to put on a show of 'conquering people with virtue'?

But where does the rebellion come from? They will only get worse..."

While Mr. Zhu Ren was making a series of "shocking" remarks, he was also patting his chest exaggeratedly.

His facial expressions were so out of control and his movements were so large that he was comparable to a stuntman in a circus. He was just short of doing a backflip.

His wrinkled old face turned red due to excessive excitement, just like a ripe tomato, making people want to take a bite to see if it was sweet too.

Ling Muxiao sat on the dragon throne, watching Zhu Ren's acting skills, the corners of his mouth twitched more frequently than a cramp, and the mixed feelings in his heart were even more exciting than an overturned spice jar.

"Old man, you are so busy, but I am really nervous!"

At this time, outside the court, a group of old ministers seemed to have heard the call to assemble.

They put down the teacups, chess pieces, and even the potted plants they were trimming, and followed the footsteps of Mr. Zhu Ren, heading towards the imperial study in a mighty procession.

This scene is just like a group of fans chasing stars, as excited as if they had seen their idol.

In a short while, a group of "warriors of advice" gathered outside the imperial study.

They were all ready to give the little emperor a vivid lesson on "governing the country."

The court was in chaos, with everyone talking at once and the noise was louder than a night market.

Ling Muxiao finally couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the dragon throne.

The force was so great that it seemed as if it would create a big hole in the dragon throne.

He stood up suddenly, with a long-suppressed anger flashing in his eyes, like a cat whose tail was stepped on and was finally about to show its anger.

"My dear ministers, shut up! I know you care about the country, but there must be a limit!

Since King Han is so "sincere", why don't we go with the flow and do something like "borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha", oh no, "getting something for nothing"?

As for General Tiezhu, hehe, when he comes back, I will definitely give him a soul-searching test to make him deeply understand what the art of negotiation is all about! "

As soon as Ling Muxiao said this, the court fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions were more surprised than if they had seen aliens, and the curiosity in their hearts was more painful than a cat's claws scratching their hearts.

They all opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any word, and waited to see how Ling Muxiao would direct this "shocking reversal" show next.

As for Ling Muxiao, looking at the eager eyes of the crowd, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. There was a bit of cunning and confidence hidden in that smile.

Seeing that everyone was stunned by his words, Ling Muxiao felt secretly proud in his heart, but his face remained expressionless and he continued to maintain that mysterious smile.

He slowly walked to the window of the imperial study, looked at the imperial garden outside the window that was illuminated by the golden sunlight, and thought about his next plan in his mind.

"My dear ministers, I know you have many doubts in your hearts, but please believe that I know what to do.

Although the news brought back by General Tiezhu this time is not satisfactory, this is also an opportunity for us to demonstrate our wisdom and strategy."

Ling Muxiao turned around and glanced at every minister present with a sharp gaze. The determination and confidence revealed in his eyes made the originally restless court quiet down again.

"I have decided to immediately convene a think tank, including Grand Tutor Zhu Ren, Prime Minister Li Ru, Imperial Censor Zhao Gao (fictional characters here, please do not confuse them with real history), and several generals with unique insights in military and diplomatic affairs, to discuss how to deal with the 'sincerity' of King Han.

We need to develop a strategy that can both save the country’s reputation and cleverly gain benefits.”

Ling Muxiao's words were full of imperial spirit, which made the ministers present stand in awe.

They nodded one after another, expressing their willingness to fully support the emperor's decision.

"As for General Tiezhu."

Ling Muxiao changed the subject, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"When he comes back, I will not only teach him a lesson on the 'art of negotiation', but also make him understand that as a military commander, he must not only be brave and good at fighting, but also learn to conquer his opponents with wisdom.

This time, let him be a 'negative example' so that other generals can learn from him."

A burst of laughter broke out in the court, and the tense atmosphere eased.

The ministers began to whisper to each other, expressing their agreement with Ling Muxiao's decision and looking forward to the upcoming battle of wits and strategies.

"but."

Ling Muxiao changed the subject again, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"Before we officially take action, I have a small plan. I will go to Lincheng in person to meet the legendary King of Cold. Only by understanding the opponent in person can we formulate a more accurate countermeasure."

As soon as these words were spoken, the court was in an uproar again.

The ministers looked at each other in surprise and worry.

For an emperor, personally taking risks is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous task.

"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable!"

Taifu Zhu Ren was the first to stand up and object, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"You are worth a fortune, how can you take risks so easily? Let us do it for you!"

"Don't worry, Master."

Ling Muxiao smiled and waved his hand.

"I know my limits. I will bring my best guards with me on this trip to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Moreover, I believe that only by experiencing that land in person and listening to the voices there can we truly understand King Han’s intentions and find the key to peace.”

Ling Muxiao's words were full of determination and courage, making it impossible for the ministers to dissuade him.

Although this young emperor seemed cynical in his daily life, he always demonstrated extraordinary wisdom and courage at critical moments.

A secret plan surrounding the trip to Han Country quietly unfolds.

Ling Muxiao and the think tank members discussed countermeasures and formulated plans day and night.

The return of General Tiezhu has also become the focus of everyone's attention.

They are all waiting, waiting for the arrival of that critical moment that can change the fate of the country.

Under Ling Muxiao's careful planning, the entire court seemed to be driven by a mysterious force.

Everyone is full of energy and looking forward to the upcoming "big move".

General Tiezhu, the military commander who once became the target of public criticism for bringing back the news of "ceding land for peace", also returned to the capital in a dusty state amid everyone's anticipation.

As soon as General Tiezhu entered the door, he was surrounded by a group of ministers who had been waiting for a long time, asking him about the details.

General Tiezhu was confused by the questions and didn't know where to start for a moment.

"My Lords, don't be anxious, don't be anxious."

General Tiezhu wiped his sweat and tried to break free from the crowd.

"Let me take a breath first, and then I'll tell you slowly."

Finally, amid the noise, Ling Muxiao appeared.

He walked slowly to General Tiezhu, his eyes filled with scrutiny and expectation.

"General Tiezhu, thank you for your hard work."

Ling Muxiao's voice was gentle yet powerful, as if it could penetrate all the noise and reach people's hearts.

"I know that the news you brought back has displeased many people, but I believe that you must have your reasons."

When General Tiezhu heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He looked up at Ling Muxiao, with a determined light in his eyes.
