Ru Yi didn't say much. It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but in front of someone as respectable as Li Gui, she felt that finding a solution to the problem in front of him was the best thing to do.

She was also a practical person.

He told Li Gui about Emperor Qing's plans as well as his own thoughts.

When Ru Yi saw it, she smiled slightly. Even though the warmth wasn't for her, Li Gui was truly a good official who loved his people like children.

The two of them sat at the side of the table. Behind Li Gui Zhong was a person who looked like a Grand Master. Just now, she had followed the crowd to greet him. Li Gui had glanced at that person before ordering fifteen to sit behind Li Gui.

Compared to the calmness of Li Gui, the Grand Master was much more agitated, and the excitement in his eyes could be clearly seen.

”If they really can get their hands on water, then the people of Ganzhou may have to live a better life than the people of Interstate City!” The land of Ganzhou was fertile, and food was produced in abundance. If it wasn't for this, the Prefect wouldn't have been able to keep up with the outsiders for so many years.

Ru Yi smiled. ”Your excellency's words make sense. However, how does Your Excellency know that the lives of the commoners in the Zhou Prefecture won't improve?”

This time, Li Gui Zhong truly had a smile on his face. He respected his daughter as the crown prince, but only as well. He didn't understand her, so he naturally didn't respect her.

He didn't know if the princess knew that he didn't like courting women, but her performance and words tonight had impressed him. She was only 15 years old, and had rushed all the way from the rich and powerful to the border of Ganzhou.

Not mentioning that she was too much of a girl, even an ordinary half-grown boy like her might not be able to do it. If there was anything she wanted to try, she would return in two days.

”It's because I'm old …” Li Gui chuckled. He hadn't said much, but Ru Yi understood what he meant.

She didn't feel pleased with herself at all. She continued to narrate Emperor Qing's request and her own thoughts.

There was a hint of dimness in her voice. It should be the exhaustion from the days of continuous raids. Even though she had rested for a day and night, she still had not recovered.

”The President of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Li, is one of the envoys. Father and I hope you can send a few more people here to help him. The one who has the most dealings with Jiang Guo is you.”

Although Lord Li is the President of the Board of Punishments, he has a moderate personality and is an excellent candidate to be the envoy. ”

Li Gui nodded and asked, ”Country of Jiang, which prince do you support?”

”Actually, I'm more partial to the third prince. However, royal father feels that the second prince is the legitimate heir to the throne. If Great Yan were to help, it would naturally be more orthodox and more justifiable.”

”Then why did the Young Master choose the Third Prince?”

Ru Yi smiled lightly. ”This is just a bit of insight from me. Don't be offended by it, milord.” The Lord thinks that after the Third Prince or the Second Prince ascended the throne, who among them can be faster and better able to subdue the other brothers? ”

Li Gui's eyes lit up as he thought of something. ”Of course it's the Second Prince. Even the First Prince can't compare to the Empress.”

”To us, supporting the second prince is naturally easier and more justifiable, but to the Yan Kingdom, supporting the third prince who is weaker than the second prince will bring more benefits; moreover, the third prince doesn't have a great reputation, he only obtained power through the favor of King Jiang. At that time, if he ascends to the throne, Jiang Guo will be in a mess for a few years, right?”

The Third Prince's power was destined for him to ascend to the throne, but he couldn't sever all of his other brothers' power. At that time, he would need to be on good terms with the Kingdom of Yan in order to avoid enemies from behind his back.

”Besides … The third prince has a testamentary edict. Compared to the true nature of his son, the testamentary edict is naturally more important. Otherwise, wouldn't that make the spirit of the old King in heaven feel cold?”

The others in the room looked at each other and laughed.

After Li Gui Zhong returned, he said to the Grand Master behind him, ”Yan Kingdom has another fifty years of prosperity to wait for …”

A few days ago, at General Xuan De's residence. Since Wei An from the second house found out that His Majesty had summoned the younger generation of the imperial court to follow the army at the border, he couldn't sit still any longer. Speaking of which, he was also the grand daughter's blood cousin.

Wei An was a smart person, so he first used this to convince his mother.

When the Li Clan heard that he wanted to join the army, of course they would be unhappy.

”Mother, I am the grand daughter's blood cousin. If it weren't for the Old Ancestor stopping me from getting on good terms with them, which family's post would have come to me?

In the past, the Old Ancestor was worried that I would embarrass the Grand Princess, so I knew that I was a weakling, so I didn't go out to court him.

Even Li San'er wants to go into the camp as well. He knows that the Emperor is selecting the right people for his daughter, but it's a pity that you also know the situation in his house, how can it be so easy to obtain? ”
