After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1318 Collision
"...You can still play like this? You bad guy."

"The accounts and the profits are just numbers. How can numbers not work? If I want, I can split the profits 50-50 even though the profit is 180% on the surface." He smiled evilly. "I don't even need to do anything. The apprentices brought up by Ding Zuodong can do it, and no one can find fault with it. Those old-timers in the Golden Plains are too naive. They almost caused the collapse of the Allied Forces for a few numbers."

There was one thing he didn't say: in fact, Kang Lang only needed a few good accountants.

The mirror was finally speechless.

"In fact, Bega and Yaoguo are well aware of this. Otherwise, why has the Golden Plain been fooled by them for so many years?" It's because of lack of education.

Yaowang Palace, Imperial Study.

"…This is the situation of grain survey in late spring this year. As long as there are fewer strong winds during the flood season, we can still have a good harvest in the summer."

"During the winter and spring, the Chigu horse herd gave birth to more than 80 foals. Seven of them died young, and the rest are in good condition..."

King Yao was listening with his chin propped up, as if he was a little distracted. Suddenly he said, "The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce that has just entered Gaopu's old territory and provided money and food to the Situ family and the allied forces seems to be asking us to buy good horses?"

"That's right." The official immediately reported, "According to Fan Shuang, the first batch of purchases from the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce includes 100 Chigu horses."

King Yao said, "You have a big appetite. You want a hundred horses at once."

"According to your Majesty's opinion?"

Just as King Yao was about to speak, the palace servant guarding the door suddenly spoke in a clear voice:

"The Grand Regent has arrived!"

Before he finished speaking, a beautiful woman in yellow walked in casually, as if she was in an empty place.

Her figure is still graceful, but her temples are slightly gray.

It was Qingyang who arrived, followed by two expressionless attendants.

She came to see King Yao without any need for a notification.

Prince Yao's expression remained the same, not surprised at all: "Why is the Regent here? Today's court meeting is only about trivial matters."

Most of the time, the whole court is not full of civil and military officials, but the king only invites a few people to the meeting. If you have something to say, come and talk, if you don't have anything to say, don't come.

Today's content was so boring that he even wanted to take a nap. How could the regent be interested?

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Qingyang bowed to King Yao and turned to the ministers, "Please step aside, I have something important to discuss with Your Majesty."

She had a smile on her face, but her tone was unquestionable.

The ministers looked at each other, and then looked at King Yao.

However, one of the ministers raised his head and looked at Qingyang, saying in a loud voice: "There are rules for making memorials. The regent should submit the case first and then wait for the king to summon him!"

The man was in his forties, with a square face and round eyes, and his brows were almost locked into a knot.

Qingyang smiled unchanged: "Master You, what did you call me?"

She is the Grand Regent, the Grand Regent sent by Beijia to Yao State.

King Yao sat on the throne without saying a word.

"Just because we honor you as the Grand Regent does not mean that you can really ignore the emperor's will, nor does it mean that you can govern on his behalf!" Lord You frowned and glared, "This is Yao Country, not one of those weak and small countries under Beijia's command!"

"Lord You is still so tough, no wonder he is so popular with you." Qingyang didn't know who he was offended by, but his eyes turned to King Yao, "Your Majesty?"

She knew exactly who to look for, and it would be beneath her dignity to argue with a minister.

King Yao then hummed and waved gently to his ministers.

Lord You bowed respectfully to King Yao and led the way out, but when he passed Qingyang, he shook his sleeves vigorously, as if to brush away bad luck.

The other ministers filed out, not daring to look at Qingyang even once.

The study door closed behind everyone.

It was very quiet inside the door and nothing could be heard.

The ministers understood that the soundproof barrier inside had been activated.

The ministers had no choice but to sit in the corridor and wait, feeling dirty and a little bored.

This is the palace of Yao State, and they are important officials of Yao State, yet they were driven out of the imperial study by an outsider!
Lord You stared at the study door and said without any context, "Show off your power!"

Everyone knew that he was referring to Qingyang Regent.

There were palace guards around, so the other ministers were not in a position to talk much about Qingyang, so they changed the subject, some talked about government affairs, and some talked about gossip.

"Bisha seems to have blocked the allied offensive..."

"The old lady of General Xue's mansion will celebrate her 70th birthday next month. I heard that she doesn't want to have a grand celebration so as not to disrupt the king's birthday celebration..."

Someone else said something that caused a chuckle, and someone asked Lord You, "What do you think about this?"

Lord You was absent-minded: "Second the motion."

At this moment, a group of birds suddenly took off from the garden behind the study, and hundreds of them were flying and circling, as if there was a black and white snow.

King Yao liked silver-throated tits, so he raised a large flock of them in this garden.

Lord You pointed to the back garden and said, "The birds are startled! They are frightened. There may be a quarrel in the study."

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

They could imagine the scene and knew very well that Qingyang could anger Shengyan in the imperial study. After all, this was not the first time.

After a few breaths, a minister coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Such small birds are easily frightened and fly away."

No one responded and there was an awkward silence in the corridor.

After a long while, the study door finally opened and Qingyang walked out with great grace.

The ministers had to salute her: "Grand Regent."

Qingyang stood on the steps, looking down from above. He glanced at the ministers and chuckled, "Sorry for interrupting your court meeting. You may go in now."

After saying this, he left with his attendants.

She clearly glanced at everyone, but the ministers felt that she could not see anyone.

When the ministers were about to enter the hall, they heard a clanging sound from inside and they didn't know what was breaking.

Even Lord You paused, not daring to go any further, for fear that he could not withstand King Yao's wrath.

After about a few dozen breaths, King Yao's voice came out: "Come in."

Everyone looked at each other and walked in with their heads down.

King Yao was still sitting behind the desk, his posture had not changed, but the cup on the desk had been changed.

The atmosphere in the study seemed to be reaching freezing point.

King Yao's voice was low and a little hoarse: "The Qingyang Regent has issued an imperial decree. Beijia hopes that we will send troops directly to help Pisha."

When the ministers heard this, they all said, "Your Majesty, no!"

"We are helping Bisha without any justification."

Another minister said, "Since resisting the joint attack of the Nine Clans more than a hundred years ago, which was extremely dangerous, our country has only sent troops abroad seven times! These are the lessons learned by our ancestors with blood and tears."

In the Shining Gold Plains, the number of direct external attacks launched by the Yao Kingdom was relatively small compared to its neighboring countries.

Lord You said, "Bejia is thousands of miles away, how could he issue such a specific order?"

His words directly pointed out that Qingyang had fabricated the imperial edict.

King Yao waved his hand and said, "She came here on behalf of Emperor Beijia. You are also aware of her relationship with Emperor Beijia. Her words can be regarded as the Emperor's intention."
