"The reason why Yuefu did not raise troops to rebel is because our country is not weak enough for him to have the certainty of victory, once the tribes in the north invade our country, it will create an opportunity for Yuefu, last time Zhao invaded a lot of our territory, in fact, his opportunity is very close, but fortunately, Qin Ziheng led the troops to fight Zhao back, so he destroyed the opportunity of Yuefu."

The emperor nodded, he also agreed with this, and he also mentioned with Qin Ziheng before that if the Zhao State at that time created some more chaos, or invaded a few more cities, so that the Chen State was in chaos, Yuefu would definitely take the opportunity to raise troops to rebel, but fortunately, Qin Ziheng repelled the Zhao State.

Seeing that the emperor agreed with his statement, Chen Youyi became even bolder and continued, "Yes, I think we must strengthen our country's military capabilities, so that Zhao State will not dare to invade our country at will, as long as Zhao State does not invade our country, then the possibility of Yuefu raising troops to rebel will be greatly reduced, and there is one more thing, I have some doubts, Zhao State has been eager to try on our border." ”

"It has been repulsed before, but now it is necessary to raise troops to occupy it, according to the ability of Zhao State, although the development situation is stronger than that of our country, but we have not yet been able to occupy all of our country, they have repeatedly violated the border like this, it is definitely a purpose, but I don't know what the reason is."

Chen Youyi didn't say what he thought directly here, but glanced at the emperor out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see if the emperor recognized his statement, after all, it was the emperor who knew the most about politics, and he just had some one-sided ideas for fear that if he said the wrong thing here, it would be bad.

The emperor still nodded approvingly, and seemed to look at Chen Youyi with great interest, "Then according to what you mean, what is the purpose of Zhao Guo?" ”

Looking at the way the emperor spoke, Chen Youyi felt that he probably hadn't seriously considered this question in private, or maybe he had thought about it, but there was no conclusive answer, and there was also a possibility, that is, he had an answer in his mind, but it was inconvenient to say it at this time, and he wouldn't say it to himself.

Chen Youyi lowered her head slightly, thought about it carefully, and finally decided to say this idea in her heart, because she wanted to ask the emperor's consent and ask him to promise to be a grain official for him, in history, a woman was a grain official, but it never happened, not to mention that she was still the eldest princess of Chen Guo, if the emperor really promised herself to make herself the grain official of the household department, I am afraid that she will have to bear a lot of pressure at that time.

In order to make the emperor promise him this, Chen Youyi decided to boldly say his thoughts, at least to make the emperor think that he did not want to be an official casually, but had his own ideas.

She continued, "I suspect that someone in my country is colluding with Zhao Guo, directly speaking, I suspect that Yuefu and Zhao Guo are colluding, Yuefu must have given Zhao a lot of benefits, so Zhao Guo must invade our country at any cost, and the real purpose of Yuefu is to invade our country when Zhao State invades our country and makes our country have no time to take care of him, he is rebelling, if Yuefu gets the support of Zhao State, he will be bolder and more certain, this is just some of my speculations, if Yuefu and Zhao are really connected, There is definitely an agreement relationship between them. ”

After saying this, Chen Youyi stopped talking, but looked at the emperor seriously, wanting to see what kind of reaction the emperor had, and also wanted to make sure that what he said did not speak to the emperor's heart.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "It's really good." ”

This made Chen Youyi look surprised, and stared at him with a frown, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" How can you say that this thing is too good? If the people of Yuefu really collude with Zhao Guo, it will be too dangerous for us. ”

However, the emperor stood up again, walked up to Chen Youyi, patted Chen Youyi's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect that you could think of this, to be honest, even I didn't think of this, you said that Yuefu and Zhao Guo colluded, so there is really such a possibility." ”

Chen Youyi immediately added, "Your Majesty, what I mean by this is that it is very likely that there is collusion between Yuefu and Zhao Guo, but whether there is really or not, there is no conclusive evidence to prove it, and these have to be slowly searched for evidence in the future, if we really catch conclusive evidence, we can deal with Yuefu with treason, in addition, slowly weakening the strength of Yuefu is also our top priority." ”

The emperor nodded very approvingly, "Okay, it's really good, it's really my eldest princess, it's just different, even your eldest brother probably didn't think of this, you actually thought of it." There was a touch of admiration in the emperor's eyes, and there was also a touch of relief, after all, his eldest princess did not let himself down.

Chen Youyi smiled, the emperor was able to recognize herself, she was already content, so she mentioned her previous request again, "Then the emperor, do you agree now and let me be your grain and grass official?" If you promise me, I promise you two things. ”

Chen Youyi is now sure, after all, the emperor agreed to what he said, but when Chen Youyi mentioned this matter again, the emperor's brows furrowed, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed and hesitant, which made Chen Youyi's heart sink slightly, "Your Majesty, can't you let me be your grain and grass official?" ”

"It's not impossible, the things you just told me, your own unique opinions, I also very much recognize, if you can help me deal with Yuefu, it would be great, but... This grain and grass official has never been held by a woman since ancient times, not to mention that you have a special status now, and at present, this grain and grass official is not easy to be, we need a lot of grain and grass, as well as recruiting troops and horses, and now the treasury is a little short, many ministers are unwilling to be this grain and grass official, they all think it is a chore, but you prefer to be, can you tell me why? ”

It turned out that what the emperor was thinking in his heart turned out to be this matter, Chen Youyi pursed his lips and smiled, and continued, "I naturally have my own way, the emperor, as long as you promise to let me be a grain and grass official, and let me go through a few back doors, open a commercial channel for me, I want to be promoted first, and then I will have the funds to buy grain and grass to help you recruit troops and horses, this commercial channel can only be done by the emperor's decree, and others can't do it." ”

After hearing Chen Youyi's words, the emperor was also a little moved, and then said, "If I use your request to help you establish this business channel, then can you also promise me to do the thing you just promised to do?" ”
