Chu Xiuhan also picked up a wine jar next to him, the two of them raised each other, and then raised their heads and drank it all.

"Waste, it's all a bunch of waste, it's been three years, it's been three years, you haven't taken down Chu Xiuhan's head to me, not only that, but now Chu Xiuhan has led people all the way to Jiangzhou City, and I can't take down a little Han King, what use do I want you to do with this group of waste?"

In the court, Chu Xiuran was so angry that he swept all the folds in front of him to the ground, and shouted angrily at the ministers in the hall who were bowing their heads one by one.

"My emperor is angry." All the ministers knelt down and shouted Chu Xiu to relieve his anger.

Chu Xiuran heard this, but the anger in his heart was even worse. "Rest your anger and stop your anger, what else will you say besides shouting to stop your anger when something happens?"

In the face of Chu Xiuran's anger, these ministers seemed to have become accustomed to it, and they just knelt quietly in the hall like that, bowing their heads and lowering their eyes without saying a word.

Chu Xiuran looked at these ministers who kept silent when something happened, and couldn't even come up with an idea, and felt very eyesore.

"Li Aiqing." Chu Xiuran suddenly shouted Li Lei.

"The minister is here."

Li Lei immediately bowed his head and walked to the center of the hall and said.

Chu Xiuran glanced at Li Lei and said, "Aiqing thinks that there is a better way to subdue the Han King now." ”

The others were relieved in their hearts when they saw that Chu Xiuran finally pointed the finger at Li Lei.

It's not that they don't want to give Chu Xiuran an idea, when Zhao Sheng was defeated and left Fengyang Mountain before, they had proposed to Chu Xiuran to divide the fief for King Han and shake hands and make peace, they felt that this was the best way to solve this matter.

But Chu Xiuran was furious when he heard this, thinking that they were making him bow to Chu Xiuhan, how could he bow to Chu Xiuhan, he had to fight to the death with Chu Xiuhan, but if the two of them fought like this, only the common people would suffer!

In order to completely defeat Chu Xiuhan, Chu Xiuran followed Li Lei's advice, and has been recruiting troops and horses for the past few years, and almost all the silver in the treasury has been invested in the army.

In order to be able to better train the soldiers, there are enough silver taels to support, and the taxes have gradually increased in the past two years, and now there are complaints outside, and some officials also take this opportunity to collect money in the people, and in the end, there is not much silver in the treasury at all, for this reason, Chu Xiuran has to increase the tax again.

Not only that, but there are not enough troops in the army, and he even sent people everywhere to arrest men for military service, so that now there are many complaints in the market, and the people are not happy, and everyone is simply scolding Chu Xiuran.

Helplessly, all these scoldings were covered up by Li Lei, so Chu Xiuran didn't know anything at all.

Thinking that Li Lei is now covering the sky with one hand in the court, the last time someone just refuted him in the court that it was not feasible to increase taxes, he let Chu Xiuran execute that person, and since then, these things in the court, they have completely not dared to come up with any more ideas.

However, although Li Lei's ideas for Chu Xiu were all bad ideas in the eyes of other ministers, Chu Xiuran was quite affected by Li Lei's ideas, and he adopted Li Lei's ideas every time.

In the face of Chu Xiuran's indistinguishability between right and wrong, loyalty and treachery, the other ministers could only shake their heads and sigh.

Now they only hope that Chu Xiuhan can pull Chu Xiuran down from this position as soon as possible and end the suffering of the people of Li as soon as possible.

Li Lei listened to Chu Xiuran's words, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that with the strength of King Han, it is really not good for us to fight him like this, if King Han only had those 10,000 soldiers in his hands before, even if we are not able to defeat King Han, but in terms of manpower, even if it is consumed, we can consume him until he runs out of ammunition and food, but none of us thought that the prince of Nanyue would dare to take refuge in King Han......"

After Li Lei said this, he raised his head and carefully observed Chu Xiuran, and when he saw Chu Xiuran's face change slightly, he immediately said:

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, our top priority now is to solve the big trouble of the Han King, as long as the Han King is solved, the other soldiers are naturally not afraid, since we can't win the Han King in this arrangement, it's better for us to think of another way, first get rid of the Han King."

Chu Xiuran's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at Li Lei, and said with interest: "Li Aiqing already has some good methods." ”

Li Lei pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I heard that a female demon in red has appeared in the rivers and lakes recently, killing people without blinking, as long as she can afford the price, there is no one in the world who she can't kill, and there are even rumors that ......"

Speaking of this, Li Lei paused, not knowing whether to say this or not, he raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Chu Xiuran.

Chu Xiuran couldn't wait to say, "What do the rumors say?" ”

Li Lei hesitated for a while, but still spoke: "It is rumored that as long as the price can be afforded, even if she is asked to take the head of the Son of Heaven, she can get it." After speaking, Li Lei was afraid of angering Chu Xiuran, so he immediately said:

"But these are just rumors after all, and it is estimated that the female devil is really powerful, so there are such rumors circulating."

Ran Chu Xiuran didn't laugh angrily when he heard these words, and said: "Then this matter will be left to Aiqing to do, no matter what method you use, you must let the female devil take over this deal." ”

Chu Xiuran doesn't care about the rumors that are said in the market now, as long as he can get rid of Chu Xiuhan now, he just listened to a few unpleasant words, so what's the matter.

When Li Lei heard this, he hesitated a little and said: "Your Majesty, it is very simple to invite the female devil, and the rumor has said that as long as you can afford the price she offers, you can invite her." ”

As soon as Li Lei's words fell, Chu Xiuran immediately took over the conversation with a hearty laugh: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to Aiqing, I hope Aiqing will not fail my expectations of you." After speaking, Chu Xiuran didn't give Li Lei a chance to speak again, and directly shouted "retreat from the dynasty". Then he took the lead out of the council hall.

The other ministers in the hall also got up and withdrew from the council hall, leaving Li Lei alone standing in the center of the hall, a little dazed.

Is it that he didn't express it clearly or that the emperor didn't understand it clearly.

Li Lei felt a little surprised, he had already made it clear that as long as the price was high enough, he would definitely be able to invite the female devil, but the emperor threw this matter to him like this, and did not allocate a penny to him, and asked him to deal with this matter well.

What did he do? Do you want him to open his own treasury and use his own money to invite the female devil?

Thinking that the money he had worked so hard to save would be given away like this, Li Lei felt very uncomfortable.
