Chapter 13 The Compromise

"His Majesty……"

Wu Meiniang had never had such an experience, so she had to bury her face between Li Gan's shoulders and neck, and did not dare to move.

In summer, Li Gan could clearly feel the soft heat coming from his body, and he couldn't help but feel a sway in his heart.

But Li Gan still resisted the impulse and carefully felt Wu Meiniang's simple hands.

‘Well…a little rough…there are still a little calluse in your hands…’

Li Gan looked down and saw that although he had good maintenance recently, he could still see the back of his hand and several invisible scars on his fingers.

He immediately had a guess in his mind.

If he had been raised in Shenfu since childhood, the lady with rich clothes and food, her hands would have been smooth and delicate.

Now it seems that the warrior must have died long ago, and Wu Meiniang and her mother suffered a lot outside.

‘Even so…it may have nothing to do with Li Yuan…’

But there is another mystery. Since Wu Meiniang was kicked out of the Wu family, what happened to this talent show?

Li Gan let go of Wu Meiniang's hand and rubbed her brows silently.

When he entered the palace, the list of the girls must have been written, but he only looked at the beauty, but he didn't hear what Wei Zhongxian was thinking clearly.

‘I must ask my partner after I look back…’

However, after this thought, Li Gan was initially relieved.

As for complete trust... it is impossible to do now.

‘The human heart is separated from the belly, and it is difficult to fully understand no matter what... I just need to see Wu Meiniang's behavior...’

Time and time.

If Wu Meiniang really does something for Li Yuan secretly, she will sooner or later show her strength.

After thinking about these things, he let out a long sigh and focused on the beauty in his arms.

Wu Meiniang's body was warm and she just leaned in Li Gan's arms.

It was already past noon, and the Liang Doctor Pavilion was extremely cool, and there was a faint cooler air in the cold pond outside.

Under such a state of ice and fire, Li Gan could not help but feel a little moved and impulsive.

But the environment here is open, so it’s not good if someone passes by and sees it.

And after taking off my clothes, I would make a big joke if I catch a cold.

Li Gan held Wu Meiniang's slippery shoulders and hugged her to her side and leaned against her:

"Mei Niang, my body is a little numb. Change your position first..."

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she hurriedly turned to her side and came down from Li Gan's chest, and then stretched out her plain hand: "Your Majesty, I will rub you."

Li Gan jumped and hurriedly held her hand: "No need to do this, I just need to slow down."

"Mei Niang, you can talk to me and say something."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Meiniang nodded obediently, looking at him with beautiful eyes.

At this moment, Li Gan was lying on the wooden platform, Wu Meiniang leaned on Li Gan's shoulder, and a jade arm wrapped around his waist.

Li Gan could still feel a warm feeling coming from his side, and the neck was rubbed by Wu Meiniang's hair.

He took a few breaths of cool air, thought for a while, and asked bluntly: "Does Mei Niang know about the war in Wu and Yue in recent days?"

Wu Meiniang didn't know Li Gan's intention, so she replied honestly: "I know."

"Because of this war, the Wuyue silk cloth sold in Beijing has become more expensive."

The silks in Wu and Yue are the best in their great work and are very popular among the people.

"yes."

Li Gan sighed softly, frowned and continued:

"The State of Yue is not a match for the State of Wu. It has been attacked in the country and is about to be destroyed. They come to ask for help..."

It seems like a husband who is just going home from home, chatting about his work today and telling him his boredom...

"Anyway, civil officials and military generals now have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone."

Li Gan said in a very annoyed manner: "If this continues, I will get up early every day to accompany them to court."

Wu Meiniang just kept listening to Li Gan's words quietly.

After Li Gan finished speaking, she looked a little hesitant, as if she didn't know whether to say or not.

Li Gan seemed to feel her mentality, grabbed Wu Meiniang's hand with his big hand again, and continued to ask: "Mei Niang thinks I should listen to those civil officials? Or those military generals?"

Wu Meiniang was silent for a moment and hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I... I don't know..."

"What's wrong with this? Just say whatever you want."

Li Gan chuckled and pinched Wu Meiniang's hand: "It's not a court now, and you and I are not a monarch and minister."

"I just complained to you, but I didn't think of a good idea."

Wu Meiniang is still a very strong woman by nature, and her words just made her feel a little competitive.

She raised her head and looked at Li Gan steadily: "Your Majesty, I really have some stupid opinions."

"Um?"

Li smiled dryly and said indifferently: "Then I want to listen."

Seeing him like this, Wu Meiniang straightened her body with her hands and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think it's best to save Yue Country."

“How is that simple?”

Li Gan shook his head gently: "First of all, the civil ministers will not agree."

"Even if you reluctantly convince those civil officials, Marshal Zhao, General Yang and Duke Tang, they will definitely argue endlessly."

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Gan's eyes and said slowly: "It is not that the generals led their troops to the expedition, but that they lend troops to Yue. The money, food, and money spent are all borne by Yue."

Li Gan subconsciously wanted to refute, but the words stopped when they were at their mouth.

Leading troops and borrowing troops is a difference of one word.

But the meaning is very different!

Seeing Li Gan being stunned, Wu Meiniang continued to explain: "Your Majesty, I can't see through the thoughts of the adults in the court, but when Your Majesty spoke about Master Wei Zheng and Wei, I suddenly realized it."

"It's not that the civil officials did not want to send troops, but that they were afraid of military generals and did not want them to send troops. Will the Yue State lead the imperial army just solve this problem?"

Li Gan was stunned when he heard this, and felt that this was becoming more and more feasible. He couldn't help but pat the back of Wu Meiniang's hand: "Mei Niang, continue."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Wu Meiniang was recognized by Li Gan, and a slight excitement appeared on her face, and then disappeared without a trace.

She continued: "Your Majesty just said that the civil officials used the excuse of empty treasury and exhausting the people and losing money. Now that they send troops, the money and food are all under the responsibility of Yue. So can they still have any reason to refuse?"

Li Gan nodded slowly: "The civil servants have no reason to obstruct them anymore, and Yueguo will definitely agree to this method."

Wu and Yue were rich. If the Yue Kingdom was asked to choose between paying money and food and being destroyed by Wu Kingdom, they would definitely choose the former.

This time, without Wu Meiniang continuing, Li Gan automatically thought of the reactions of the generals.

"Now they can send troops to quell the rebellion, punish the Wu Kingdom, and boost the dangers of the court, so they naturally don't want to refuse."

"Also, this time, we cannot borrow troops from only one person. The Grand Marshal, General and Duke Tang must take into account both..."

As he thought about it, Li Gan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that this plan was feasible.

Wu Meiniang smiled charmingly in Li Gan's arms: "Your Majesty is wise, I am ashamed of myself."

Li Gan was stunned at first, then burst out laughing and slapped her on the tip of her buttocks: "Dare you still laugh at me? Ask me for a blow!"
