Chapter 61: Scheming
"My lord, the people from the military department said that if the Grand Canal of the Moon Spirit is excavated, then the army of the Principality of the Heavenly Spirit can take advantage of the Grand Canal to directly attack our Malu Fortress in the east, and then turn north to attack the Lengyue Imperial Capital, so most of the neutral factions also voted against it!" Kefer was a little worried, after all, it would be very dangerous if it was known.
"But the Heavenly Spirit Principality is willing to give us this number, do you think we should veto it?" the prime minister raised three fingers with a sneer.
That's a lot of 30 million coins!
Therefore, seeing this number, even Kefer was a little shaken.
"Kefer, you know what to do, don't you?" said the Prime Minister with a meaningful laugh.
"Scapegoat?" Winfer pondered for a moment, then he smiled strangely, "My lord, that Baron Neret of the Andrew family in the Imperial Construction Bureau is very suitable for this position, as long as it is handled properly, if any mistake occurs, all the fault will be borne by him......!"
Kefer wanted to speak and stopped, after all, Andrew's family also has the honor of a hereditary duke, and there is also the existence of the old lady's queen mother's teacher, if they are really forced to rush the energy they can burst out, it is not trivial.
"Just do it cleanly!" Prime Minister Rongte naturally knew Kefer's worries, and to be honest, he also had this concern, if things didn't come to this point, he didn't want to offend the Andrew family, but there was no way, the current situation could only be like this.
"I'll leave these matters to you!" the prime minister said coldly, and after a moment his gaze fell on the please note on the table.
It was an invitation with yellow gold threads, a banquet hosted by Count Auror in the name of gratitude, but in fact it was the stage that pushed his second son, Hua Yun, into the social circle.
"Prime Minister, this is the first time Earl Ao Nuo has held a large banquet, are you going?" Seeing that the Prime Minister's eyes fell on the invitation, Kefer immediately changed his words, in fact, of course he also received the invitation, but unlike the Prime Minister, Kefer was actually very excited when he received the invitation, after all, being able to receive such an invitation also means that he is an important high-class nobleman.
You must know that although he is a marquis, there are at least 50,000 nobles with titles in the capital of the Cold Moon Empire, and there are more than 3,000 nobles with the titles of earls and above, but this time Count Aurno only invited less than 1,000 people, including their families, so it is an honor to be invited, not to mention that if he can get in touch with this royal family, his actions will be much easier in the future.
"Ron, that old thing, was invited, too?" the Prime Minister asked, having not been to any banquets in nearly four years.
"Yes, he is indispensable for such an important feast!" Kefer nodded.
"I know, you help me prepare a gift, remember, it must be valuable!" The prime minister stood up slightly and said: "I also happened to have a good discussion with Count Aonno about the marriage of Hua Long and Xue Ya that day, and it is best to confirm it on the same day!"
Marriage!?Kefel was stunned for a moment.
"Prime Minister, although Hua Long is the eldest son of Count Aurno, it is rumored outside that he is a loser who can only raise flowers and grass, and it is more useful to marry Miss Xueya to him than to marry Hua Yunlai?"
After all, the name Hualong has obviously become synonymous with a loser and an unlearned son in the empire.
"Hehe, although Hua Yun is a talented and smart child, I can see that he is very ambitious, and it is not something we can control, and Hua Long is the opposite, he is the eldest son of Aonuo, although he is a little stupid, but it is very convenient to use, and if we give him a lot of power, then we will get greater benefits by manipulating him behind his back!" What's more, Hua Yun already has a marriage contract with Princess Liuli, if our Xue Ya marries in the past, she can only be a concubine at most, but Hua Long is different, many young ladies in the empire are unwilling to marry him, if Xue Ya is willing to marry at this time, then the meaning will be different!"
"Do you want to make Count Onno one of our own?" said Kefer, too, could not but admire the Prime Minister.
"Hehe, in the past few days, you have sent someone to the women's college to find out about Hualong's situation and see if he is really as useless as rumored by the outside world!" The calm Prime Minister Rong Te drank the rest of the wine and then smiled faintly.
"Imperial Women's College?" Kefer probably knew what the Prime Minister was laughing at.
What would a man who graduated from a women's college look like? Weak sissy, but isn't that what Prime Minister Honte needs?
......
In the blink of an eye, the night was already deep!
On the empty road, Hua Long walked aimlessly, after coming out of the "Heavenly Residence", Hua Long has been wandering in the streets that have gradually fallen silent, his heart is a little chaotic, after four years of absence, he suddenly has a feeling that he does not know how to deal with it.
Of course, this does not refer to cultivation, just in terms of cultivation, Hualong at this time has enough strength to abuse Huayun, he just doesn't want his father Count Auno to be sad, after all, Count Auno has also heard about the invitation, as for the purpose, the extremely smart Hualong naturally knows it, and it is precisely for this reason that he doesn't know what to do next.
If he wins Hua Yun in the competition, then his father's banquet will undoubtedly become a joke, after all, the current Hua Long can not reveal his true identity, but if he deliberately waterproofs, he is sorry for the master, and he is even more sorry for himself, as soon as he thinks of what Hua Yun's mother and son did in the past, Hua Long is furious, if he is not deliberately low-key and guarded by Aunt Lan, I am afraid that he would have died many times, therefore, for a while, Hua Long fell into a dilemma.
However, at this moment, Hua Long suddenly keenly noticed that someone was following him behind him, and through the general outline of his body, Hua Long could detect who it was at a glance.
Hua Yun: This good brother who is worried about him and doesn't know how to get rid of it.
And Hua Long, who is familiar with him, knows very well that the purpose of his keeping up at this time is not simple, I am afraid that he has bad intentions!
Yes, for more than ten minutes, the distance between the two of them was always more than ten meters, and no one took the lead in making a move.
At this time, Hua Yun, who was following behind Hua Long, was still constantly observing him, whether it was his figure, body shape or breath!
He tried hard to think about the connection between the mysterious young man in front of him and his eldest brother Hualong, but no matter how he observed, he could never confirm the doubts in his heart, after all, the gap between this person and his eldest brother Hualong is really a bit big, this gap is not only in stature, but even in personality and temperament, conversation and strength!
But he wasn't sure, after all, he hadn't seen him for four years, and no one knew what his big brother Hua Long had experienced at the women's college!
Time passed minute by minute, and after a while, Hua Yun finally couldn't help it, and after walking a few steps, he came directly behind Hua Long!
