The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Jinling City, Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Li Linpu's old face was filled with resentment and anger. He fiercely squeezed and twisted the maid in front of him, exerting continuous force, determined to suffocate her to death.

"Why? Why? What happened? Nearly one million troops from the three great dynasties were defeated just like that?"

He continued to roar angrily, but did not notice that the maid in front of him had died.

Da da da……

There were footsteps outside and Li Xun's face was grim. He had just received the news that Ye Feng led the army to a great victory. He wanted to ask Li Linpu how to deal with it next, but he didn't expect to see this scene and had to retreat quickly.

"waste!"

Li Linpu was so angry when he saw Li Xun, and then he noticed that the maid had died.

He threw the maid aside, straightened his clothes, and said, "Come in, what's going on?"

"Father, I heard that Ye Feng is leading a large army and is heading towards Jinling City in triumph. Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"

Li Xun knew very well that after this battle, the entire streets and alleys of Jinling City were filled with people talking about Ye Feng. Anyone who dared to say a bad word about Ye Feng would be attacked by the crowd and would not know how they died. Even he, the son of the prime minister, could only keep his head down and behave himself.

"Didn't I ask you to contact the Blood Shadow Pavilion? Why hasn't there been any news for such a long time?" Upon hearing this, Li Linpu stared at Li Xun angrily and scolded him directly.

"I've asked around in Jinling City, but I can't get any response from the Blood Shadow Pavilion. It's like they disappeared. It's so strange." Li Xun looked embarrassed. He sent people to keep an eye on the Blood Shadow Pavilion's branch, but there was no one in sight.

"Why did I raise such a useless son like you? You can't even handle such a small thing?" Li Linpu stared at Li Xun angrily. The more he looked, the more he disliked him. Thinking of how Ye Feng was so young but could lead a large army to fight, he felt that Li Xun was a waste.

Hearing this, Li Xun thought to himself, "If you are so capable, why don't you contact the Blood Shadow Pavilion yourself?"

Of course, he also knew that Li Lipu was angry, so he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"From today on, you will stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and you can't go anywhere." Li Lipu took a deep breath and said sternly to Li Xun.

"Father……"

When Li Xun heard that Li Linpu wanted to put him under house arrest, he was ready to refute, but Li Linpu said coldly: "If you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't hurt me, stay in the mansion honestly, do you know what it means to avoid the sharp edge?"

"As ordered."

Li Xun lowered his head, resentment deep in his eyes. Ever since Ye Feng came to Jinling City, the son of the prime minister, who used to be so powerful that no one dared to provoke him, has become unhappy with everything he does, and he is full of resentment in his heart.

……

The Ministry of War Yamen.

Yu Shouren was working at his desk. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his temple. He really had a headache. Recently, the number of people who wanted to join the army from all over the country had suddenly increased.

At this time, outside the Ministry of War, many officials, led by the Minister of Revenue Hai Ming and the Minister of Justice Tang Da, were talking and laughing.

"Is there anything I can do for you, gentlemen?" Wang Changhao raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw many officials coming to the outside of the Ministry of War.

"Lord Wang, I wonder if Lord Yu is here. We have something important to discuss with him." A smile spread across Hai Ming's old face.

"Lord Yu is processing the documents submitted by various places. I will go and tell him." Wang Changhao didn't know what Hai Ming and others wanted to talk to Yu Shouren about. He turned around and walked into the Ministry of War. When he came to Yu Shouren, he said, "Lord Yu, Lord Hai, Lord Tang, and many officials are outside the Ministry of War. They said they have something important to discuss with you."

"Did they tell you what they wanted to say?" Yu Shouren asked Wang Changhao while looking at the documents.

"I didn't say it."

Wang Changhao shook his head and replied.

"Since Lord Hai and Lord Tang are here, it must be something urgent." Su Hong, who was not far away, said slowly. He is now the Minister of War.

"Go and invite them to the hall quickly, I'll be there soon." After hearing Su Hong's words, Yu Shouren put down the documents in his hand, stood up and walked towards the hall of the Ministry of War.

Su Hong also followed Yu Shouren.

In the hall of the Ministry of War, Hai Ming, Tang Da and many officials were all present.

Yu Shouren frowned when he saw everyone and said, "Is there anything important that you are looking for me?"

Yu Shouren now serves as the Minister of War and the Minister of Personnel, both of which are almost the busiest departments. He has to deal with endless documents and memorials all day and all night.

As the Song Dynasty seized three counties from the Jin Dynasty and acquired four counties from the Western Shu Dynasty, he had to worry about selecting talents again.

The thought of selecting seven county governors and numerous county secretaries and other officials gave him a headache. It seemed that he could only recruit people from Jinling Academy.

The problem is, when he tried to poach Cai Shao before, that old guy Zhang Ling almost got angry with him.

This time, if we poach seven people at once, the Jinling Academy would be emptied out.

I’m afraid Zhang Ling’s beard will be blown up.

"We know that Lord Yu is busy with official duties, but there is something that is more important than all of Lord Yu's official duties. It concerns the survival of the entire Song Dynasty." Hai Ming's face was filled with worry when he spoke, which frightened Yu Shouren on the opposite side. He asked, "Is it because our food and grass are not enough to feed the new soldiers?"

"Don't worry, Lord Yu. Now the taxes paid by all counties in the entire Song Dynasty are sufficient, and there is plenty of food and grass."

Hai Ming had a smile on his face. He had been the Minister of Revenue for so many years, but he had never been so well-off. The taxes paid by Chang Sun Ji's Yanyun County alone were equivalent to the entire year's tax revenue of the former Song Dynasty.

"That's good. Lord Hai, if you have something to say, just tell me." Yu Shouren secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Hai Ming told him that there was a shortage of food and grass, he really would not be able to promise the recruitment plans in various places.

"I wonder if you have heard, Lord Yu, that this time the Lord Zhenguo led his troops to attack Yunzhou City of the Western Shu Dynasty, and the old Emperor Liu Jing was almost willing to give up the throne in order to win over the Lord Zhenguo?" Hai Ming asked Yu Shouren.

"I have also heard about it, but didn't the King of Zhenguo disagree?" Yu Shouren shook his head.

"Oh, Lord Yu is so careless. The King of Zhenguo is so young. What do you say will be most tempting to him?" Hai Ming had a smile on his old face.

"The throne, the king doesn't seem to be interested in it. He's not interested in martial arts. He doesn't seem to be interested in power. So what is so tempting to him?"

Yu Shouren frowned secretly. He had followed Ye Feng for more than a year and really didn't know what could tempt Ye Feng.

"Oh, Lord Yu is really confused. Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist beautiful women. Aren't you afraid that one day, the King of Zhenguo will meet a beautiful woman he likes and run away with her, what will happen to our Song Dynasty?" Hai Ming continued to ask Yu Shouren.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shouren nodded secretly and couldn't help frowning.

"Lord Hai, heroes love beauties. The problem is that I am not a beauty, so there is nothing I can do about it." Yu Shouren couldn't help but reply.

"Mrs. Yu is not a beauty, but the emperor of our Song Dynasty is a stunning beauty."

"The best way for the Song Dynasty to completely bind the King of Zhenguo is to petition His Majesty the Emperor to make him his imperial consort."

"It would be best if the two of them had a few princes and princesses. Do you think the King of Zhenguo would still leave the Song Dynasty?" Hai Ming raised his eyebrows at Yu Shouren with ill intent and said with a sly grin.

Yu Shouren was stunned when he heard this, but then a sly smile appeared on his face: "Hai Ming, you are so bold that you actually set your sights on His Majesty. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?"
