Su Mingde's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and then he began to think:

“Recently, His Majesty granted marriage to Ye Sisi and Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe, and the wedding date has been set.

Your Majesty's expectations for the Crown Prince have always been much higher than those for the other princes.

Although Ye Zhaobo had been demoted, his influence over the Censorate and the Supreme Court remained.

If Your Majesty is still willing to help support the Crown Prince, it won't be long before Ye Zhaobo can be reinstated.

He is the perfect candidate for the position of Prime Minister."

"Can he still be the prime minister? He can't." Lin Wanwan sneered when she heard this and sat back in her chair.

Su Mingde asked: "Why?"

Lin Wanwan curled her lips and smiled: "Have you heard of the unofficial history of Ye Zhaobo?"

Su Mingde and Su Ye looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Lin Wanwan began to tell the story in a light voice: "It is said that Ye Zhaobo is the son of a wild boar. When he was born, there were strange phenomena, lightning, thunder, and strong winds.

A wandering sorcerer passed by and asserted that this boy was the reincarnation of an unlucky star. Everyone around him would have a short life and he would bring disaster to the government in the future.

Moreover, before marrying the eldest princess, he secretly married a fellow villager named Zhao Xiaomei and had a son with her.

Now Zhao Xiaomei has come to find him with her child.

As for the proof, you can go and ask around. Last night, there was another strange phenomenon in the Princess's Mansion, with Mars flying into the sky."

Su Ye frowned: "Mars flying, isn't that something Zhang Zhirang made?

Or is it Ye Zhaobo who was born by a wild boar?

Princess, your wild history is too wild. "

Lin Wanwan said: "Ye Zhaobo's whole family has pig-like brains. If they didn't inherit the IQ of wild boars, what else could they be?"

Su Mingde naturally didn't believe it and frowned: "I'm afraid that the princess's unofficial history is not convincing enough.?"

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Unofficial history doesn't have to be true, but it must be wild enough. Only wild enough unofficial history can leave a deep impression on people.

It makes people remember it deeply.

If Zhao Xiaomei and her child died in Kyoto City tonight, wouldn't that prove the rumors true?

Does it matter whether it’s wild or not, true or not?

Once you remember it, those who believe will naturally believe it.

Those who don’t believe it will naturally feel disgusted when they see Ye Zhaobo.”

"This..." Su Mingde asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, he may not believe it."

Lin Wanwan said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to believe it. As long as Your Majesty has concerns, there is another sorcerer who observed the sky at night and found that the auxiliary star next to the Ziwei star was dim and about to fall.

Your Majesty will also temporarily give up the idea of ​​punishing the Prime Minister."

Su Mingde was doubtful and sighed slightly: "Just a few rumors are not enough to make His Majesty..."

"Who said it was just based on rumors?" Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and took out two things from her arms: "This princess has two pieces of evidence.

One is a list of the court's cronies with Wang Yiner's fingerprints on it.

The other one was a letter and a land deed that the maid Cui'er had stolen from the secret cabinet in Ye Zhaobo's study.

The Prime Minister can put these before His Majesty."

Su Mingde was shocked when he heard this. He took the evidence from Lin Wanwan's hand and was extremely surprised. He looked at Lin Wanwan's indifferent expression.

"Thank you, Princess."

Lin Wanwan's eyes fell on Su Ye, and then said:

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty is only trying to get some money by dismantling the Red Moon Tower. General Wang Luda is leading an army of 300,000 and is still fighting against the Purple Gold Nation, which is a great waste of money and manpower!

The noble young master Su Ye is so generous.

The treasury is empty, and if the Prime Minister can solve the food and salary problem for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not blame you anymore."

Su Mingde sighed deeply: "The princess is right, but the Purple Gold Country respects men. Although the Xuan Yue Country may seem vast and rich in resources, it actually does not have the ability to fight the Purple Gold Country."

"Men are respected?" Lin Wanwan frowned and asked, "What about Yunhai Country? Could it be that women are respected?"

Su Ye hurriedly said: "Princess, don't you know? There are three countries in Fenghua Continent, and our Xuanyue Country is in the middle. Men and women are equal.

In Zijin Country, men are respected, while in Yunhai Country, women are respected."

Su Mingde added: "That's right, Hua Yu was sent by Yunhai Country as a gift to Xuanyue Country for marriage.

The empress of Yunhai Kingdom has always advocated a policy of marriage alliance, sending men and women to Xuanyue Kingdom and Zijin Kingdom for marriage in order to seek peace.

Oh, in Yunhai Country, although Hua Yu is a prince, his status is…"

No wonder Hua Yu has such a gentle personality. Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and said nothing. After a moment, she asked, "Prime Minister, has the Purple Gold Country often invaded my Xuanyue Country over the years?"

Su Mingde sighed: "When the late emperor was alive, the monarchs of the three kingdoms signed a peace treaty and stopped fighting. Now the late emperor is gone.

That day, the Yunhai Kingdom's special envoy sent Hua Yu and openly raised the issue of war at the Qianqiu Banquet. The issue involved the Zijin Kingdom, and perhaps the two countries have already secretly united."

Lin Wanwan asked again: "If the Purple Gold Country invades, will we be able to resist?"

Su Mingde said: "This... Zijin Kingdom Hegemony, I heard that their third prince Mu Han is ruthless, but I can't say for sure, you have to ask General Wang Luda and the Ministry of War."

The third prince... Mu Han? Lin Wanwan's eyes were gloomy. "I've never heard of him."

Su Mingde sighed, "The princess has lived in the Princess's Mansion since she was a child, and she really knows very little about the world."

Lin Wanwan only said, "Now that I know, it's not too late. When I meet General Wang in the future, I will talk to him about it."

Su Ye asked from the side: "Does the princess still like to talk about military affairs?"

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly, her voice clear and light: "When a country becomes strong, it will not use force against a weak country. When a woman becomes beautiful, she will not be coveted by men.

War brings suffering to the people. Why don't you make plans early and wait for others to come and fight you?"

When Su Mingde heard this, he suddenly felt respect in his heart, and these words echoed in his mind for a long time.

Lin Wanwan stood up and said, "I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave now."

Su Mingde said with concern: "The journey to Pingyang City is long and the environment is harsh. I am afraid that someone will set an ambush. Please take good care of yourself."

"Yeah." Lin Wanwan nodded and left.

Su Ye's heart skipped a beat. What? Is the princess really going to Pingyang City? !

A place where no one lives?!

How can the princess stay? !

The princess will definitely find someone to accompany her.

He hurriedly chased after her with an anxious look on his face, and stood in front of Lin Wanwan, his eyes full of enthusiasm:

"Princess, are you going to Pingyang City?"

Lin Wanwan nodded.

Su Ye asked anxiously, "Who will go with the princess? Will Ouyang Qingyu go? Will Hua Yu go? Will Zhang Zhirang go? What about Ye Lan? Will he go? Will they all go?"

Lin Wanwan just said: "We will go together at night."

Su Ye was secretly delighted when he heard this: How could he let go of this opportunity to be alone with the princess and go on a trip?

He immediately recommended himself: "Princess, I know that Pingyang City borders Zijin Country, and some people from Zijin Country occasionally sneak into the country and come to do business.

Princess, please take me with you. I am fluent in the languages ​​of the Three Kingdoms.

Please, Princess, take me to Pingyang City.

I will definitely be able to lend a helping hand to the princess."

Lin Wanwan raised her cold eyes and looked Su Ye up and down, and asked with some doubt: "You are also proficient in the languages ​​of the Three Kingdoms?"

Su Ye's eyes were firm: "Yes, my mother was a merchant. When she was alive, I often followed her on business trips. I have been to Zijin Country and Yunhai Country since I was a child.

Their language is very familiar to me.”

Lin Wanwan said: "Okay, let's go together."

Seeing that Lin Wanwan agreed, Su Ye was overjoyed and bowed quickly, almost jumping up with excitement: "Princess, I will not let you down."

Lin Wanwan saw that he looked confident, not at all flustered, and lowered her eyes to think: "Su Ye, the Prime Minister looks honest, where did you get the reward of 10,000 taels of silver?"

Su Ye leaned closer and whispered, "It's from my grandmother. After my mother passed away, she gave me all her money. Spend it as you like. It should be enough for me to spend for several lifetimes."

"How many lifetimes can you spend like this?" Lin Wanwan couldn't help asking, "So much money? Do you have a mine at home?"

Su Ye smiled brilliantly: "How clever, Princess. I really have a mine at home. I really do have a mine."

"Gold mine?"

"No."

"The silver mine?"

"No."

"jade?"

"No."

Lin Wanwan said: "Just say it directly."

Su Ye chuckled: "The black stuff."

"Oh, so he's a coal boss." Lin Wanwan said, "The coal mine is also..."

"No, no..." Su Ye smiled and shook his head.

Lin Wanwan:?

Su Ye gave her an expression that asked her to continue guessing.

Lin Wanwan withdrew her gaze, walked forward and said no more.

When Su Ye saw her leave, he hurriedly followed her and walked in front of Lin Wanwan:

"Princess, it's the Black Water Mine, and there's Black Rock underneath. The mine belongs to my mother.

Princess~

Now it’s ours.”

Lin Wanwan stopped immediately after hearing this, her eyes full of disbelief: "The mine, digging from shallow to deep, white, brown, dark green and black?"

Su Ye's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands: "Yes, yes, yes! The princess is so smart, she is absolutely right, it's as if she has been to the mine."

Lin Wanwan looked at him motionlessly and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. She had to say, that was awesome!

Su Ye’s family actually has an oil mine!

Bring money into the group!

Su Ye smiled and said, "If the princess likes it, I will give her the Black Water Mine and myself as well. I can be her dowry."

Lin Wanwan: “Hehehe…”

……

At the residence of Minister Ouyang.

Ouyang Qingyu sat in the study with a serious expression.

The guard commander Qin Jun respectfully handed him a yellowed list, then stepped aside without daring to breathe.

Ouyang Qingyu gently picked up the list. The edges of the paper were slightly worn.

As the notebook slowly unfolded, his pupils shrank slightly when his eyes swept over the list.

There were many names of officials of the current dynasty written in neat small characters on it:

Prime Minister Su Mingde

……

……

Princess An Ning Lin Wanwan.

......"

Fortunately, His Majesty is not aware of this list.

He also had no intention of submitting the list.

Ouyang Qingyu frowned. The name "Princess An Ning Lin Wanwan" on the paper was particularly eye-catching. He felt a chill rising from his spine.

He raised his head and looked at Qin Jun, his voice low and stern: "Who else knows about this?"

Qin Jun quickly bowed his head and replied: "Your Excellency, Zhang Qing is dead. I found this list myself, and there is no one else on it."

Ouyang Qingyu nodded slightly, then tore off all the pages he had written, and imitated Qin Niangzi's hairpin-flowered small calligraphy, adding some of the relatives that Wang Yiner had confessed that day.

He handed the forged list to Qin Jun: "Find someone to give this to His Majesty."

Qin Jun took it and was about to leave.

Ouyang Qingyu asked again: "Has the silver from the treasury been delivered?"

Qin Jun bowed and said, "Sir, the princess went to the Prime Minister's residence today and is not in the mansion. I plan to see her off in front of her."

"If you can't do it well, you will be punished." Ouyang Qingyu returned his gaze to the chessboard.

"I understand your meaning." Qin Jun said, "I will arrange a suitable opportunity to send it to the Princess's residence."

Ouyang Qingyu said: "That's good to know, leave now."
