Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 762: It’s so confusing!

It was not until dusk in the afternoon that Gu Chan slowly returned home.

As soon as she came back, she found six people in official uniforms sitting in the lobby of the front yard. Two of them were old acquaintances of hers, the Minister of War Yu Da and the Minister of Personnel Lin Yan.

As the eldest lady, Ouyang Wan'er was receiving six people in the lobby at this time.

Seeing Gu Chan coming back, she quickly stood up and went forward to greet him, and whispered to Gu Chan's ear, "Husband, the six ministers of Kyoto are here."

"Ah? What are they all here for?" Gu Chan said in surprise.

She really didn't expect that after she came back from a trip to Dizong, all six ministers of the six ministries in Kyoto would come.

What kind of plane are they planning to fly?
Ouyang Wan'er reminded, "Husband, you have to be careful. I always feel that they are not here with good intentions."

"Okay, you go and do your thing first, I'll go meet them." Gu Chan said solemnly.

Ouyang Wan'er nodded quietly and left.

Gu Chan walked to the first seat and sat down. The six ministers immediately stood up and saluted her respectfully.

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite, all six adults, please sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." The six people responded in unison and sat back in their original seats.

Gu Chan looked at the six people, and finally stopped her gaze on Yu Da and said, "Master Yu, what exactly is the reason for you all to come here today?"

"Your Highness, it's like this. They are the four ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Works. As for Lord Lin and I, we have met you before. Today is the first time that the four of them have come to officially meet you." Yu Da said with a serious expression.

Gu Chan nodded without comment.

All those who can become Shangshu officials in Kyoto are capable, and people with such abilities have one thing in common, that is, they are all very old and have extremely rich experience.

Among the six ministers now, only Yu Da is the youngest. The other five are all over 100 years old and have white hair.

She had to admit that these six people were indeed the best among all the civil and military officials in the court in terms of their abilities.

Yu Da added, "Your Majesty, they came here today on the orders of their respective masters to deliver orders to you."

"Ah? Are you so anxious? I...I'm not mentally prepared yet!" Gu Chan said in a daze.

Previously, she had received orders for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel from the third prince and the fifth prince respectively. Then, due to the matter of Prince Chen, there was a delay and she no longer cared about the other four ministries.

She had never thought that the four princes in charge of the other four departments were so well-behaved that they could send their subordinates to deliver the departmental orders to her personally.

What the hell, she didn't want it, but they insisted on giving it to her! What can she do?
Lin Yan shouted, "Your Highness, with your strength and ability, it is inevitable that you will unify the six departments. And to put it bluntly, looking at the entire Kyoto, apart from you, no one else has the ability to unify the six departments."

"Don't compliment me. I can't bear it." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the six people immediately stood up, walked to her, knelt down with weak knees, and shouted in unison, "Your Highness, please unify the six tribes." "Oh! Get up quickly, I really can't do it! I'm really not prepared for this!" Gu Chan said with a bitter face.

"Your Highness, if you don't agree to this, we will kneel here and not get up until you agree." Yu Da said stubbornly.

Gu Chan put her hand on her forehead, she had a terrible headache.

She knew very well how stubborn this fat guy was. Last time, she had to starve him for several days before she managed to tame him. If she didn't agree now and he became stubborn again, she would be in even more trouble.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan could only say helplessly, "Well, you guys stand up and sit down first, and we'll talk slowly. Don't force me like this. Now that I really want to unify the six tribes, I have to consider whether the prince agrees, right? And it's not just him, the old prince from the Earth Sect is also watching me! I have to think about myself!"

"This..." The six of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Gu Chan simply stood up and walked to them, reaching out to help them up from the ground one by one.

Yu Da said solemnly, "Your Highness, the six princes called us all to Wanhuang Garden at noon to discuss this matter. Everyone also thinks that handing over the six ministries of Kyoto to you is the best option now. Otherwise, if the old prince makes any move, I'm afraid all of us in the six ministries will suffer!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please take on the responsibility of unifying the six ministries. Otherwise, we really don't know who to trust now." Lin Yan pleaded.

The other four ministers also bowed to her.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "How about this! In view of your sincere attitude, you should give me the orders of the other four ministries first, and then I will think about it tonight. If I decide to take over the six ministries, I will send someone to Wanhuang Garden to invite the six princes to discuss it. You can just go back and wait for the news."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I've been busy all day and I'm very tired. You have to let me go back to the backyard and have a good meal with my three ladies!" Gu Chan interrupted with a wave of her hand.

After hearing what she said, the six people finally gave in.

The other four ministers from the other four ministries each reached into their sleeves, took out four ministry orders, and handed them to Gu Chan in a proper manner. Then they all said goodbye and left with worried looks on their faces.

Gu Chan casually put the four military orders into the bag on her waist, then went to the backyard with a wry smile to have dinner with the three ladies.

After dinner, Gu Chan sat alone in the study, staring at the six military orders placed on the desk in front of her.

Having been in Kyoto for so long, this can be regarded as the first major thing she has really accomplished. If she really takes the blame this time and takes charge of these six departments, she will definitely become a thorn in the prince's side in the future, and it is impossible for her to be killed.

In addition, she had just made a big bet with Xuanyuan Wen in Dizong during the day. At this critical juncture, if she unified the six tribes again, Xuanyuan Wen would definitely not let her go easily.

So in general, these six parts are like six red-hot irons to her at the moment. Once they are branded on her body, her skin will be torn apart.

"Fuck! Should I answer it or not? I'm so confused! What should I do now?"

After thinking for a long time, Gu Chan finally couldn't help but started cursing.

Just as she finished her curse, Zuo Yun came running in happily from outside with a big cricket in his hand.
