I should marry the traitor

Chapter 257 Asking for Advice from Liu Ruyan

If it was a normal game, Li Changge should not be panicked at all now.

He now holds the entire North in his hands and he is not even eighteen years old, so he has plenty of time to waste.

There will be a battle between Yuan Mochu and Cao Mengde sooner or later. There is no need to rush. You can definitely reap the benefits by watching the fire from the other side of the river.

On the contrary, if you push them too hard, it will be easy for the two to join forces against the enemy, which is obviously a very unwise behavior.

But what Li Changge needs is to pass the level as quickly as possible. After all, he has his own unique method of speeding through the level, but don’t others have the same method?
No, we must go all out and seize every second!

But at this time, Cao Mengde had just arrived in Jingzhou, and the threat to Yuan Mochu had not yet been revealed. It was highly unlikely that they would have a fight in the near future.

Is there any way to get the two of them to ignore Dong Bai's threat from the north and just start fighting?

Li Changge frowned, not having any particularly good solution for the time being, but after thinking for a while, Li Changge's brows relaxed.

Maybe this matter will be a little difficult, but if you ask that woman, maybe it won't be difficult.

"White eyebrow!"

"The old slave is here."

"Use the Queen's name to summon Imperial Servant Liu to the palace."

"Old slave understands."

……

Baimei acted quickly and Liu Ruyan visited the palace in the afternoon.

After Dong Bai returned to Beijing, the spies from various families restrained themselves a lot. After all, it was not convenient for Li Changge to kill people, but Dong Bai was ruthless when it came to killing people.

Therefore, Liu Ruyan's entry into the palace did not cause much stir, and even the news was not spread out of the palace.

Liu Ruyan came to Qiantian Garden with a charming step and hummed a little tune, and walked in without any hesitation.

This place, which is a little scary for many half-bloods, is probably no different from heaven in Liu Ruyan's eyes.

Liu Ruyan is a very smart woman, and she knows exactly where her strengths lie.

Her advantage is that she is too weak. As an ordinary person without blood, she is destined to depend on others for her whole life. For Li Changge, Liu Ruyan has basically no possibility of rebellion.

It is hard to say whether there is absolute loyalty in this world, but if you want Liu Ruyan to betray Li Changge, you have to offer a higher price than Li Changge.

It is difficult for anyone to offer a higher price than Li Changge, which is why Li Changge is very confident in Liu Ruyan.

Moreover, the possibility of Liu Ruyan betraying Li Changge is indeed very low, because in addition to high positions and generous salaries, Li Changge also gave him - himself.

Liu Ruyan walked quickly all the way and gradually reached Qiantianyuan's bedroom, with light in her eyes.

I've tasted the sweetness of it and I miss it so much.

Being weak is Liu Ruyan's disadvantage, but also her advantage. Because she is too weak, Li Changge treats her very gently, which is an experience that Huang Guoer can never dream of.

Not to mention Huang Guoer, even for Dong Bai who has now completely surrendered, Li Changge basically launched a large-scale offensive.

He would only be gentle when facing ordinary women without blood like Zhong Pingjing and Liu Ruyan.

After all, he is not a half-blood whose body has been sanctified, and cannot withstand a hard kick.

Liu Ruyan entered the bedroom. At this moment, Li Changge was processing memorials in the study, which made her a little disappointed.

"See Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Changge put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Liu Ruyan with a charming look in his eyes. He probably guessed what Liu Taifu was thinking.

But now is not the time to do that. "Please stay for dinner tonight, Liu Taifu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Ruyan replied when she heard this, but there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Li Changge meant to stay at night, which means it's not possible now? This doesn't seem like your Majesty's style, does it?

"I came to you because I have something important to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty, what you want to discuss is the matter of Jing Yang?"

"Yes, does Liu Taifu have any advice for you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan waved the feather fan in her hand, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Isn't it normal that Your Majesty cannot figure out such a simple question?
In Liu Ruyan's eyes, Li Changge is one of the smartest people in the world, otherwise he would not be able to manipulate so many top hybrids at his fingertips.

Even though Liu Ruyan was very conceited in her scheming, she had to admit that the emperor was no less skilled than her in this area.

The current situation is very clear. There is an irreconcilable conflict between Yuan Mochu and Cao Mengde. Unless one of them is willing to submit to the other, there will be a war between them sooner or later.

Liu Ruyan felt that Li Changge would definitely understand this simple truth: watching tigers fight from the other side of the river and reaping the benefits.

Asking such a question means that Li Changge may have other plans in mind.

"I want to take Yuan Mochu and Cao Mengde as soon as possible and don't want to wait too long."

"Why is your majesty so anxious?"

Li Changge did not answer, but just glanced at Liu Ruyan. The look in his eyes made it very clear: Are you teaching me how to do things?
A trace of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Liu Ruyan's forehead, and she realized that she was a little bit dizzy.

Li Changge did not deliberately put any pressure on Liu Ruyan, but the gaze of a congenital master was enough to make her feel a little breathless.

"Your Majesty, I have spoken out of turn."

"If I use you as an envoy, are you sure you can convince Cao Mengde and Yuan Mochu to start the war early?"

Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seemed that His Majesty was not planning to do anything stupid.

If Li Changge was planning to use his army to directly suppress Yuan and Cao, Liu Ruyan would have to persuade him no matter what.

Fortunately, Li Changge still had some sense and knew not to force it, but...

It would be too difficult to convince Cao Mengde and Yuan Mochu to start a war in advance. Cao Mengde is not a fool, right?
Of course, Liu Ruyan knew one thing: when your boss asks you to discuss something, he is waiting for you to come up with a solution, not to listen to you say that this thing is absolutely impossible.

So even though this matter was very difficult, Liu Ruyan still began to seriously analyze the possibility of letting Cao Mengde and Yuan Mochu go to war in advance.

"We must not start this matter with Yuan Mochu."

"Yuan Mochu is arrogant by nature, and he has a grudge against Queen Dong, so he will definitely be difficult to win over."

"So the only person we can convince is Cao Mengde."

"It's actually very simple to start a war between Cao Mengde and Yuan Shao."

"All Cao Mengde needs to do is quickly swallow up Jingzhou, and then he will have many soldiers and generals under his command and be fully equipped."

"By then, we won't need to persuade him, Yuan Mochu won't tolerate her."

"If we want Cao Mengde to reach this point quickly, we must provide him with sufficient assistance."

"The only question is, how can we persuade Cao Mengde to accept the assistance from the imperial court?"

"Is Empress Dong still nominally in charge of the court now?"
