Chapter 165: Strategist

The real beauty of the Enfeoffment Order is to attack the enemy with their own spears. It is not their turn to refute the court.

Because once the Enfeoffment Order is issued, the people who support it the most are not the emperor or the court ministers.

It is their sons!

The woman continued to ask: "But what if they only have one son?"

"That's very simple." Shen Wuming's mouth curled slightly, and a trace of indifference appeared in his eyes.

"If there is only one son, then his son may have an accident, and there will be no one to inherit the title after his death, and the court will take it back."

"Hiss..."

The woman narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Wuming deeply, "You kid are studying diplomacy, right?"

"I dare not."

Shen Wuming said modestly: "I am a Confucian scholar, a serious scholar, and a Dingzhou Jieyuan!"

"Hehe."

The woman smiled indifferently, "You have such wisdom, as long as you perform well in the spring exam and enter the palace exam!"

"You will definitely become the champion."

"Alas, who can say for sure?" Speaking of himself, Shen Wuming was a little bored.

"There are so many heroes in the world. There are so many talents in the imperial examination. I am not sure I can become the top scholar."

"Besides, I am so handsome. If the empress takes a fancy to me and insists on giving me the third place, there is nothing I can do."

Ghost:...

Ghost rolled her eyes rarely, "I suddenly realized that you deserve a beating."

"Didn't you beat me last time?"

Seeing that the woman was not as violent as before, Shen Wuming suddenly asked, "Why did you beat me before?"

"I haven't offended you, have I? We should have never met before, why did you beat me?"

The woman was silent.

I thought this guy was a traitor before, and the 酎金 that I had promoted for so long was destroyed by him.

I was angry.

But he also made contributions to the country, so it was impossible to really ask for his crime. He could only beat him up and vent his anger.

But he didn't expect that he had a better idea, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty at this moment.

But her expression was still calm, "I beat you up, what's wrong? You have the ability to beat me back."

Shen Wuming:...

"I've never thought that a woman so beautiful would be so mean!"

Before Shen Wuming finished speaking, a white and tender jade foot rapidly enlarged in front of him.

The next moment.

"Fuck!"

Shen Wuming suddenly sat up from the bed, turned around and saw that the moon had already risen to the middle of the sky.

"Damn, violent girl, damn it, I'll kill you all when I break through."

Shen Wuming cursed, then fell on the bed, and soon, snoring sounded, and he was already asleep.

But this time he didn't dream, until the next morning, Shen Wuming stretched his body and sat up.

Although he met a female ghost again last night, it also reduced his doubts a little.

After washing up, Shen Wuming was about to go to breakfast, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Before he could open the door, Yang Yuanqing climbed over the wall and said, "Brother, someone in the palace wants to see you."

"Ah?"

Shen Wuming was still in a daze. He didn't even wipe the water off his face before he was dragged out of the yard by Yang Yuanqing.

Then he came to the hall.

A woman in a black robe stood above. Yang Wanchun was not there. He should have gone to court.

After all, the court system was very strict. People got up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs.

"Hello, Mr. Gao!"

Yang Yuanqing saluted hurriedly.

"Hello, angel!"

Shen Wuming bowed his hands, and then he saw the woman in black smiling, "Lord Shen, you don't have to be polite."

"You have been in the capital for several days. His Majesty pays close attention to you. It just so happens that some tributes have been sent from the local area."

"I must pick a few pieces and send them to you. Do you think there is anything useful?"

At this point, the woman in black walked aside and opened the big red lacquered wooden box.

Shen Wuming was overjoyed. Although he didn't know what was going on, it was a good thing after all.

With great expectations, he looked into the box, and his face suddenly became amused.

"No, the angel said, this is what His Majesty gave me?"

"You don't have to call me Angel, my last name is Gao, you can just call me Lord Gao."

The woman in black said, and then nodded, "These are all sent by His Majesty."

"If you have anything else you need, you can tell me, I will help you check the inner treasury."

Shen Wuming was hesitant to speak, mainly because the things in this box are too shabby.

Originally thought that even if it was worse, it would be silk, gold, silver and jewelry, otherwise how could it be presented?

But when he looked up.

There were only a few dozen copper coins, and two pieces of cloth, which could barely be considered silk, but the color and texture were not very good.

So shabby.

And Lord Gao looked like he would let him ask anything, Shen Wuming didn't know how to ask.

He wanted gold and silver.

"Uh... all is fine, all is fine, all is fine... then put it here."

Shen Wuming was speechless, and reluctantly bowed his hands, "Then thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"Yes."

Mr. Gao seemed to see his thoughts, but he was not dissatisfied, and then took out a small box from his sleeve.

"This will help you practice, and you should be able to use it when you break through later."

After saying that, Mr. Gao patted him on the shoulder and walked out.

"Farewell, Mr. Gao."

Shen Wuming still maintained the most basic courtesy. After Mr. Gao left, he sat on the chair speechlessly.

"No, is this emperor so shabby? He gave me some silver last time, but this time he changed it to copper coins."

Yang Yuanqing chuckled, "You'll get used to it. Everyone in our capital knows that the emperor is very stingy."

"But don't blame her. The court is short of money. There are wars in the border areas and the Yongding dam has failed!"

"It's war and disaster relief again."

"Some time ago, you proposed the technique of building a bridge with oysters. The emperor discussed it in the court."

"In the end, it was considered very feasible. It cost tens of millions of taels of gold and was promoted all over the country."

"Now the treasury has no money. Your rewards are all from the inner treasury!"

Hearing this, Shen Wuming's face eased a little. If the emperor was stingy and content with pleasure, he would have to resign on the spot.

But as Yang Yuanqing said.

The emperor was stingy, and he wanted to spend every penny in half, but he spent it on the right things.

He was willing to spend tens of millions of taels to build a bridge, which shows that he cares about the people.

"By the way, look at what's in his box? His Majesty generally doesn't like to reward people with gold and silver."

"But he will also give some practical things, magic weapons, cultivation methods, etc."

Yang Yuanqing urged.

Shen Wuming opened the box and saw a magic weapon like a ruler lying quietly in it.

There was a mist of spiritual energy lingering above it, which seemed like a good thing.
