Chapter 207 Qin Mei, Jing Mei, and She Is Even More Beautiful
After hearing Lu Chen's words, the Council Hall suddenly became like a vegetable market.
"Your Highness, if the court does not give us food, we must not accept those refugees."
"The court is too much. There are at least nearly one million refugees in the three counties. If we don't give them food, how can the Northern Kingdom support them?"
"That's right. The Northern Kingdom is already so poor, and if so many refugees are sent here, the Northern Kingdom will be even poorer. The court is completely trying to use the refugees to drag the Northern Kingdom down."
...
Seeing the indignant look of the officials in the hall, Lu Chen showed a faint smile. The officials of the Northern Kingdom have basically completed the transformation. They used to look at problems from the perspective of Daxia, but now they all think about problems from the perspective of the Northern Kingdom, and they are all considering the interests of the Northern Kingdom.
After the officials in the hall discussed for a while, Li Rui spoke again: "Your Majesty, must the Northern Kingdom accept these refugees?"
Lu Chen said: "From the information I received, the court meant that accepting those refugees is the obligation of the Northern Kingdom as a feudal state, so the Northern Kingdom cannot refuse."
This...
The officials in the hall were dumbfounded. They couldn't refuse. This was treating the Northern Kingdom as a sucker.
If the court didn't give food and threw all those refugees to the Northern Kingdom, wouldn't those refugees rebel immediately when they came to the Northern Kingdom without food?
Lu Chen said at this time: "I will write a memorial to the capital later. If the court doesn't give food, these refugees will come to the Northern Kingdom and don't want to stay in the Northern Kingdom. It's not the Northern Kingdom's business. After all, these refugees are the people of Daxia, and I can't restrict their freedom.
"If the court insists on doing this, if a peasant uprising like Dawu breaks out, the court will find a way to solve it by itself. ”
The North Country is very poor, which is something all the people of Daxia know. If those refugees are sent to the North Country without food, it means that they want to starve those refugees to death. When the people hear about this, they will definitely be very disappointed with the court.
At this time, Lu Chen stood up from the throne, waved his sleeves and said: "Today's meeting ends here, Commander Qin, please come to my study."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Then Lu Chen came to his study, and Qin Yushan followed in.
"Your Highness, do you have any task for me?"
Lu Chen said: "You will write a letter to Commander Liang later and ask him to mobilize all the Jinyiwei in Daxia to spread the news that the court will not give food to the North Country, especially to let those refugees know about this."
Hearing this, Qin Yushan immediately understood what Lu Chen meant, "Okay, Your Highness, I will send a letter to Commander Liang right away. "
Qin Yushan finished speaking and was about to leave the study. Lu Chen said at this time: "Wait a minute, I have one more thing to do."
Qin Yushan stopped and said: "Your Highness, please speak."
Lu Chen said: "How is the matter of Lingwu Pavilion handled?"
Qin Yushan said: "Recently, Lingwu Pavilion has sent a lot of spies to Yancheng to find their Pavilion Master, but most of those spies have been captured by us. We are trying to attract the craftsmen of Lingwu Pavilion to the North Country, but their vigilance is too strong, and no one is willing to come."
Lu Chen said: "Find a way to control people, and then release the master and train him to be a member of the Jinyiwei.
Qin Yushan said: "Your Highness, it may not be so easy to make a master obedient. You probably have to meet the master in person."
Although they can indeed use some drugs to control the master, the martial artists at the master level are generally not so easy to surrender. They are likely to surrender on the surface, and then find a way to get rid of control after they are out of danger.
If you want a master to surrender, you must be convinced, otherwise once the master knows how to dissolve the drug that controls him, he will definitely rebel.
Generally speaking, as long as it is a poison that controls people, there will be an antidote. If there is an antidote, it is impossible for only one family to have the antidote.
Even if Qin Yushan fed poison to the master of Lingwu Pavilion, the master of Lingwu Pavilion would most likely look for an antidote everywhere after returning, so Qin Yushan’s idea was to let Lu Chen go directly to the master of Lingwu Pavilion and show Lu Chen’s true strength.
Except for Wang Qingci, Lu Chen did not publicly tell others that he had broken through to the Grand Master realm, but Lu Chen’s subordinates summoned by the system could easily feel the changes in Lu Chen’s pressure, and they knew very well that Lu Chen was already a Grand Master.
At this time, Qin Yushan knew that Lu Chen was already a Grand Master. Qin Yushan thought that a seventeen-year-old Grand Master was enough to intimidate the master of Lingwu Pavilion and let the master of Lingwu Pavilion follow Lu Chen willingly.
Of course, this may also reveal Lu Chen's strength, and it depends on how Lu Chen decides.
Lu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, I will go to see the master later."
"You go and do your thing first."
Qin Yushan immediately bowed and said: "I will take my leave."
Then, Qin Yushan left the study.
After Qin Yushan left, Lu Chen sat down at the desk and began to handle government affairs. Recently, there are more and more things in the North Country, and many things need to go through Lu Chen's hands, which makes Lu Chen very busy.
Lu Chen also wanted to delegate power, but when he thought that the officials of the Northern Kingdom were all natives of this world, they might not understand some of his policies, which would eventually lead to the opposite of what he wanted, so he had to do everything himself.
Of course, although he was busy at work, Lu Chen would not forget to relax. During this period of time, Lu Chen often went to Chu Qingli's room to relax with Chu Qingli. Every time he went to Chu Qingli, Lu Chen would feel particularly excited.
At this time, Lu Chen suddenly heard a faint sound of piano coming. Although it was far away, Lu Chen was now a grandmaster. His hearing was more developed than that of ordinary people, and he could hear it very clearly.
Lu Chen put down the pen in his hand and listened carefully. The piano sounded melodious and made people feel very relaxed and comfortable.
Lu Chen was a little curious about who played the piano, so he simply got up and walked towards the direction where the piano sound came from.
After a while, Lu Chen stopped at the gate of the courtyard where Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun lived.
As soon as Lu Chen arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was moved by the scene in front of him.
Chen Wanrong sat in the pavilion in a long white dress, with her slender jade hands on the xylophone, gently plucking the strings. As her slender fingers danced on the strings, the melodious sound of the xylophone reached Lu Chen's ears.
At this time, Chen Wanrong seemed to be integrated with the whole world. She seemed to emit a holy light, like a fairy descending from heaven, making people feel extremely warm.
The piano is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful.
Lu Chen has seen beautiful women before. His inner courtyard is full of beautiful women, and they are all kinds of beauties.
But there are few women like Chen Wanrong who make him feel beautiful, but he can't raise a trace of evil thoughts in his heart.
If Wang Qingci and Chu Qingli played the piano like this in front of him, Lu Chen might have pressed them down directly.
But Chen Wanrong was different. Hearing the sound of the piano and admiring Chen Wanrong's beauty, Lu Chen's heart became extremely peaceful.
The scene in front of him was like a beautiful picture.
Lu Chen stood at the gate of the courtyard and listened for a long time until the sound of the piano subsided. Lu Chen came back to his senses.
Lin Wanyun happened to come in from outside at this time. She saw Lu Chen standing at the gate of the courtyard, his eyes always looking at Chen Wanrong in the pavilion. She was delighted and immediately said: "Chen'er, do you like to listen to the music played by the palace master?"
Hearing Lin Wanyun's voice behind him, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head to look at Lin Wanyun and said with a smile: "I like it. This piano sound can calm my heart."
"I didn't expect Miss Chen's piano sound to have such an effect."
At this time, Chen Wanrong in the pavilion also noticed Lu Chen at the gate of the courtyard. She stood up and saluted and said: "Hello, Your Majesty."
Chen Wanrong took the initiative to say: "If Your Majesty likes the music played by me, you can come and listen often in the future."
Hearing this, Lin Wanyun was stunned.
Their palace master finally got it. He actually knew to take the initiative to invite the Northern King.
