Don't panic when the end of the world comes, the boss of the group has a system

Prime Minister Lin and Xu An walked into the imperial study with a smile on their faces.

Prime Minister Lin entered the Imperial Study and saw Emperor Tianwu sitting on the Dragon Throne with a dark face. He immediately felt something was wrong and quickly put away the smile on his face, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I greet you!"

"Prime Minister, please excuse me! Please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

"What's the matter, Prime Minister?"

Seeing that Prime Minister Lin had already sat down, Emperor Tianwu said in a sarcastic tone.

"I don't have anything to be happy about. Instead, I have a difficult matter. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

"Oh! What's the big deal? Prime Minister, tell me about it."

Seeing Prime Minister Lin's mysterious look, Emperor Tianwu suddenly became interested.

"His Majesty……"

Seeing that Xu An was still in the imperial study, Prime Minister Lin hesitated and did not speak.

Emperor Tianwu saw the Prime Minister's hesitation and immediately understood. He waved his hand and signaled Xu An to go out.

After receiving the imperial decree, Xu An left the imperial study and quietly closed the door behind him.

Looking at the distance between himself and Emperor Tianwu, Prime Minister Lin simply decided not to sit down...

After Prime Minister Lin walked to the dragon table, he bent his waist and told Emperor Tianwu in a low voice about Lin Yuyan's dream...

……

"Three years later, a woman named Yao'er became the empress...Gu Ziqiu and Yao'er were close..."

After hearing Prime Minister Lin's shocking words, Emperor Tianwu could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked out of the dragon table, then walked back and forth in the hall of the imperial study, muttering to himself...

As a minister, Prime Minister Lin was very careful about what he said. He couldn't possibly say to the emperor: In three years, Dong Chu will be destroyed, and all of you Chu family members will die...

Isn’t that what a fool would say?

Prime Minister Lin just mentioned it to Emperor Tianwu in a tactful way: Three years later, there will be an empress named "Yao'er" in Dongchu.

Such a euphemism contains a huge amount of information.

"Prime Minister, this... is unlikely! There is not a single princess named Yao'er! It is impossible that all my sons... is it possible?"

Seeing that Emperor Tianwu had come up with an idea, Prime Minister Lin lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty! Gu Ziqiu is a very important person. I have sent people to investigate him carefully."

"Prime Minister, does Yan'er know which 'Yao' in Yao'er's name is?"

"Your Majesty! This is a tricky question. Yan'er has been confined in her dream for several years and has no idea who 'Yao'er' is."

Yan'er said that among the girls she knew, there were three named 'Yao'er': Prince Kang's youngest daughter, Princess Anle Chu Yao, 13 years old, Duke Su's granddaughter Su Yao, 12 years old, and Concubine Meng De's niece Meng Yao, 15 years old.

"After I gave the title of Princess to Prince Kang's little daughter, I forgot her name was Chu Yao. If I were to ask who among the three girls is most likely to be the one... it would definitely be her!"

-

Prince Kang is 34 years old this year and has no children. Except for the two daughters born to him by his wife, Princess Kang, and Concubine Shen, the many beauties in the backyard do not have any children.

Princess Xu of Prince Kang is the daughter of the current Minister of Revenue. She married into Prince Kang's mansion at the age of 15 and gave birth to a daughter, Chu Han, at the age of 17.

Chu Han is 15 years old this year. When she was 3 years old, Princess Xu of Prince Kang passed away.

There is no princess consort in Prince Kang's mansion now, and the person who manages the backyard is Prince Kang's concubine Shen Yu.

Shen Yu is the youngest daughter of Shen Jinshan, the richest man in Jiangnan. She is 30 years old this year and has a daughter, Chu Yao.

Chu Yao is 13 years old this year. She was named "Princess Anle" by Emperor Tianwu a few years ago.

-

There is a reason why Emperor Tianwu is so sure it is Chu Yao:

During the reign of Emperor Chongde, the Noble Concubine Gu Yanran and the current Empress Dowager Su Rong both had a son.

Chu Yuanhao was born to Empress Dowager Su Rong, and Chu Yuanchen was born to Concubine Gu Gui.

Chu Yuanhao is two years older than Chu Yuanchen.

In order to help their sons take the throne, the Su and Gu families, as well as the families behind them, have been fighting openly and secretly against each other for more than ten years.

Su was the winner in the end.

When the 17-year-old Chu Yuanhao was named Crown Prince by Emperor Chongde, Chu Yuanchen, who had failed in his bid for the throne, was named Prince Kang and granted the Prince's Palace.

After Emperor Chongde passed away, Concubine Gu left the palace and lived in Prince Kang's mansion.

Behind Crown Prince Chu Yuanhao stand the three top forces of Dongchu: the Su family, the Xiao family, and the Lin family.

Unstoppable! Invincible!

After failing in the fight for the throne, the Gu family began to lie low and dormant.

……

After Emperor Tianwu ascended the throne, East Chu seemed calm and peaceful on the surface, but in fact it was undercurrent and full of crises.

Gu was the favorite concubine of Emperor Chongde and the person dearest to him.

Before his death, Emperor Chongde gave all the East Chu Dragon Guards to the five branches of the Gu family.

The Dongchu royal family had 10 dragon guards: wind, cloud, thunder, lightning, rain, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Now the five dragon guards of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are in Gu's hands.

Gu's eldest brother, Gu Yunliu, is the General Zhennan and has 30 troops under his command.

The Gu family is a century-old family with many children and grandchildren, and a complex network of in-laws in the court.

To sum up, although the Gu family failed in the fight for the throne, their foundation was not damaged in the process.

Prince Kang had no sons, only two daughters, and he doted on Princess Anle Chu Yao the most.

After Prince Kang's Mansion and the Gu family have accumulated enough strength, it is entirely possible to push Chu Yao to become the empress.

-

Chu Yao and Gu Ziqiu are of different generations, how is that possible?

Chu Yao is the granddaughter of Concubine Gu, and Gu Ziqiu is the legitimate son of Gu's eldest brother. The two are cousins.

"Prime Minister, Chu Yao is Gu Ziqiu's niece. How could Gu Ziqiu be with her?"

After thinking it over for a long time, Emperor Tianwu asked doubtfully.

"Your Majesty! Normal people would not violate the moral code, but it's hard to say for the Gu family. Look at how many concubines and maids Gu Yunliu has. His fourth son is a sex-hungry ghost. I don't know how many young girls and wives he has ruined."

"Beast! I sent people to create an accident a long time ago, intending to kill that beast, but unfortunately I failed several times."

Speaking of the Gu family, Emperor Tianwu hated them deeply.

Originally, the Gu family and Prince Kang's Mansion were powerful, while Dong Chu was plagued by natural disasters and the treasury was empty.

Beimo and Xiqi are watching with eager eyes and are ready to make a move.

Emperor Tianwu has been on the throne for so many years and has tried every possible means, but has failed to shake the Gu family and the mother and son.

Today, Dong Chu is in a precarious situation with internal and external troubles. Emperor Tianwu is unable to take care of himself, let alone shake them.

“Prime Minister, let’s check this first, it’s not urgent yet, there are more urgent matters right now.

The memorials sent to my case must have been read by the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, please tell me how to deal with these matters?"

How to deal with it?

This Prime Minister knows how to deal with it, but unfortunately I can’t!

First, we have no money, and second, we have no food. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. If I could handle it, I would have done it long ago!

Looking at the dark face of Emperor Tianwu, Prime Minister Lin complained inwardly for a while, but still replied respectfully: "Your Majesty! For the time being, we will ignore the people sent by Beimo and Xiqi to marry. When they come, we will deal with them accordingly.

The Ministry of Revenue has already allocated food and fodder for the western border, and will send people to escort them to the border as soon as possible.

The most pressing issue right now is the severe drought in the west.

As long as Dongchu has money, this matter can be easily solved.

Dong Chu is a vast country with abundant resources. Although several states have suffered various natural disasters, resulting in reduced grain production or even total crop failure, there are still several states with relatively abundant grain.

The tax grain from these wealthy states has been arranged by the Ministry of Revenue and now has somewhere to go.

Although tax grain cannot be transferred, grain can still be purchased from grain merchants in these wealthy states.

If we go to buy food, we will need a large sum of money..."

Listening to Prime Minister Lin talking without any pain in his waist, Emperor Tianwu complained in his heart: Isn't this the same as not saying anything? If I had money, I would not have discussed anything with you, my lord, and I would have solved it quickly...
